Thank you everyone for your kind words. In return I finished Chapter 4. Enjoy.
Spike entered his bedroom closing the door behind him.
You're so fat!
"What? No I'm not!"
Ha! You're stupid too, look at yourself
Spike looked in a nearby mirror, he saw a small, fat, pathetic dragon.
"Looks like you're right"
Spike was on the verge of tears.
Don't worry, I can help you. I'm your friend
"Really?"
Of course, I'm always here for you
Spike was having a conversation with 'the voice' until he was interrupted by a knock on his bedroom door.
"Spike, darling. Are you okay?"
Rarity became worried when there wasn't a response. She decided to knock again.
"Spike, is it okay to come in?"
A few seconds later, Spike opened his bedroom door and walked back to his bed and sat down. Rarity followed him and sat next to him. Rarity was waiting to see if Spike would say anything, but after a moment of silence she decided to speak.
"Spike, I want you to look at me"
Spike slowly looked up at Rarity.
"Spike, please promise me one thing"
"What's that, Rarity?"
Rarity closed her eyes and sighed, when she opened her eyes she held on to one of Spike's claws.
"Please, don't forget who your friends are"
Spike gave Rarity a warm smile.
"I promise Rarity"
Rarity returned the smile.
"Thank you Spike"
Rarity let go of Spike's claw and looked at his arm, although it wasn't really thin, she could tell he had lost weight. Rarity couldn't hold her tears in anymore, so to prevent Spike from seeing, she got up and started to walked towards the door.
"See you again, Spike"
"See you again, Rarity"
As Rarity made her way downstairs, she let a few tears escape her eyes. By the time Rarity was downstairs she had a very thin, black line running down from each eye to each cheek. Twilight saw Rarity had been crying and walked over to her.
"Rarity, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing Twilight, I'm just worried about Spike"
Twilight sighed and faced then floor.
"Me too"
Rarity cleared her throat to get Twilight's attention, Twilight lifted her head to look at Rarity.
"Well Twilight, thank you for the delightful meal, but I must get back to my boutique"
"Oh, of course, Rarity"
Twilight followed Rarity to the door.
Rarity opened the door, but before she left she turned around to face Twilight. She looked at Twilight with watery eyes.
"Twilight, if anything should happen--"
"You'll be the first to know"
Twilight gave Rarity a warm smile, which Rarity returned.
"Thank you Twilight"
They both smiled, and then Rarity left and made her way to the boutique. Twilight shut the door and sighed, still worrying about Spike.
Spike started to exercise and 'the voice' was encouraging him.
"...99 ...100"
Come on, a hundred more
"But I've already done three hundred"
Okay, fine. Jog on the. spot, GO!
Spike started jogging on the spot, but he was so exhausted he kept stopping every five minutes, but 'the voice' kept him jogging.
After about three hours of exercise Spike heard Twilight coming up the stairs he immediately stopped exercising and wiped his forehead with a towel. Spike heard Twilight get closer and closer to his bedroom door until...
*Knock knock*
"Spike...!"
Spike got up and opened his bedroom door. Spike looked at Twilight, she seemed very happy.
"Spike, dinner will be ready soon. I'd like you to come down"
Spike didn't like the idea of dinner, but he didn't want to make Twilight angry and upset again, so he went downstairs.
You're gonna eat?
"I don't really have a choice"
Yeah, you do. Your life, your body, your choices
"Yeah, but--"
Listen! You can't eat. If you do, all that exercise you did will be a waste
When Spike was downstairs he stayed silent he didn't want Twilight to think he was talking to himself. Spike made his way into the kitchen.
"I'm down" Spike informed.
Twilight looked around at Spike and smiled. Spike was wondering why Twilight was in a good mood.
"Twilight, has something good happened?"
Twilight chuckled before moving aside to show a cake half covered with tiny shards of Rubies, Sapphires and Amethysts. Spike's eyes were as wide as they could go.
"I'm guessing you like it?"
"Yeah"
"Good. Oh yeah, Spike, can you start setting up th--"
Spike dashed off before Twilight finished her question.
"...table. I guess that's a yes"
A few seconds past before Twilight came in with the cake. The sight before her was a surprise. Spike had already set the table and was waiting for his part of the cake.
"Wow! Spike that was fast"
Twilight placed the gem half of the cake on the plate in front Spike and placed other half on a plate in front of her. Spike looked at the cake before taking a bite out of it.
"Thank you, Twilight for the cake" Spike said after he finished his mouthful.
"You're welcome, Spike"
Twilight was really pleased with Spike, he didn't hesitate and wasn't eating ridiculously slow.
After they both finished their half of the cake, they both went to the living room. They both sat on the couch. The voice spoke again.
This is pathetic
Spike stayed silent not wanting Twilight to become suspicious.
Okay, smart guy
Spike felt his whole body tingle, but brushed it off. Twilight and Spike were sitting quite close on the couch.
"You know Spike, I love moments like this"
"Moments like what, Twilight?"
Twilight looked at Spike.
"Like this, when it's just you and me"
Suddenly the cake popped into Spike's mind.
"Twilight, I need to use the bathroom"
"Okay, Spike"
Spike got up and then looked back at Twilight.
"I love those moments to"
Spike gave Twilight a warm smile before going upstairs to the bathroom.
Spike opened the bathroom door and quickly ran in and shut it.
"I'm such an idiot, why did I eat that cake"
Spike was feeling so guilty. He just wished he could get that cake out of his body.
"There's only one thing to do"
Spike kneeled over toilet got his claw and tried touch his throat. He was gagging so much.
"Come on, this cake can't stay in"
Eventually Spike got his claw and almost shoved it down his throat. He threw up and glad that 'the cake' was out of his body.
"Finally... Oh my..."
Spike saw the mess he made. He flushed the toilet and wiped the toilet with bleach and disinfectant. As soon he walked out the bathroom he heard Twilight call him.
"Spike! I'm off to bed okay?"
"Yeah, me too"
Twilight met Spike at the top of the stairs. They walked to the bedroom and both got into bed.
