It was nice day in Ponyville. It was only one month until Sunset Shimmer and Spike’s wedding. Everpony was very excited that it was almost there. Sunset and Spike had gone out for a walk around Ponyville. On the way back, Spike said he had to stop by Fluttershy’s to help her for a bit. So they went their separate ways. Sunset arrived at the library.
“Hello, Twilight?” Sunset yelled as she walked in.
Sunset took a good look around the room and saw nopony. But she did see a really weird door she had never seen before.
“Twilight?” Sunset called again.
Still no reply. At this point Sunset assumed Twilight wasn’t home. She decided to go and see what this strange door was. It had a crystal on the top of the frame. The frame had a few crystal spikes, but they looked to be for decoration. Her interest was piqued. “Why would Twilight just have this door in the middle of the room?” Sunset decided to open it for fun. So Sunset opened the door and got a chill. She just brushed it off as a random feeling. When the door opened, it was as she expected. There was nothing on the other side. “Well why would there have been?” Sunset turned around and was greeted by the sight of Spike.
“Oh, hey dear. Hey, why is this door here?” Sunset asked.
“I don’t know or care.” Spike replied in a malicious tone.
Sunset picked up on the odd tone.
“Umm, Spike, is something wrong?” Sunset asked nervously.
Spike glared at her. Sunset could feel something was wrong.
“Yeah there is. You’re here.” Spike replied in his malicious tone.
“Um... what?” Sunset asked.
“Are you as deaf as you are dumb? My problem is you!“ Spike yelled.
“W-What do you mean?” Sunset asked, beginning to feel tears welling up.
“I hate you! I want you gone! I never loved you!” Spike spat.
“B-B-But I thought you l-loved me.” Sunset said, tears flowing.
“You thought wrong. I made a huge mistake saying yes.” Spike said taking the ring off and throwing it.
Sunset’s tears were that of a waterfall. She could not speak a coherent sentence. This couldn’t be right; it had to be a nightmare.
“Well, leave! I never want to see you again!” Spike yelled.
“B-B-But...” Sunset started.
“No, there is nothing else you worthless mare! Why would I ever love you! You kidnapped me, and tried to take over Equestria. How could I love a monster?!” Spike said, voice dripping with venom.
Sunset began crying harder than before. She closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again she was looking at the door. Spike was standing there, holding it closed. She felt her tears flowing. She threw herself to hug Spike.
“Please don’t hate me, I love you! I’ll do anything. Please!” Sunset begged while holding Spike.
To anypony else it would have seemed she was crazy. But Spike knew what the door was. He recognized the look that was in a pony’s eyes when they looked into that accursed door. Sunset had been looking into the “Nightmare door” as he called it. It was the door from Sombra’s chambers. He didn’t know why it was here, but he knew he had to comfort his fiancée.
“Shhh, it’s okay. I’m never going to leave you.” Spike whispered soothingly.
Sunset kept sobbing into her lover's arms. She didn’t know what was going on but right now that was second. She just wanted to be comforted by her lover. Spike was happy to do so. Sunset took a while to calm down.
“It’s okay.” Spike said to her.
“B-B-But you said y-you hated m-me.” Sunset said.
“No, the door did that. I could never hate you. I love you and I always will.” Spike soothed.
Sunset was willing to believe that it had been a nightmare and cried into Spikes arms. Tears of sorrow and of joy. Once she had completely calmed down she decided to ask Spike about the door.
“How did the door show me what I saw?” Sunset asked.
“I’m not sure. If I had to guess it would be black magic.” Spike answered.
“Oh, okay.” Sunset replied.
“If you don’t mind, what did you see?” Spike asked.
Sunset almost began to cry at the mention of her “vision.”
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to!” Spike quickly added.
“No, you deserve to know.” Sunset said.
Sunset then took the next thirty minutes explaining the vision she had. Spike comforted her every time she looked like she was going to burst out in tears. Spike in turn explained the mirror and his experience with it.
“I’m so sorry you had to see all that.” Spike said.
“It’s not your fault.” Sunset said.
“Yeah but...” Spike started.
Spike was cut off by Sunset’s lips meeting his. Spike was a little shocked at first but soon melted into it.
“What was that for?” Spike asked as they pulled apart.
“For being the best fiancé ever.” Sunset said while hugging him.
It was then that Twilight came home.
“Spike I’m baaaa…” Twilight started but then saw the scene in front of her.
“Um, am I interrupting?” Twilight asked.
“No, but why do you have that evil door?” Sunset asked.
“Oh, that door. Celestia wanted me to research it and its purpose.” Twilight answered.
“Well here is my report. It is evil, it made me cry and its purpose is to make ponies or
dragons or whatever feel miserable.” Sunset stated.
“Hmm, well I have gathered some information and I have one thing to ask.” Twilight said.
“Okay, what?” Sunset asked.
“Did it make you appreciate what you have now anymore?” Twilight asked.
Sunset thought on it. She actually came to the conclusion of yes. Now that she thought of it, she appreciated Spike so much more. Didn’t make it any more enjoyable but, maybe there was a purpose to it.
“Yeah it did. It made me realize how important Spike is to me. More than I had even thought before.” Sunset said with a slight smile.
“Aww, you know you should send Celestia a friendship report on that.” Twilight said.
“Yeah, no. I agreed to embrace friendship, not write a report afterwards.” Sunset said.
“At least I tried.” Twilight said going into her studies.
Sunset put Spike on her back and grabbed her bits. After that she began to walk outside.
“Um where are we going?” Spike asked.
“On a date. A really nice one.” Sunset answered.
“Sounds nice, but why?” Spike asked.
“Because I love you.” Sunset answered.
