*Caution for some very vulgar language throughout this chapter. Just saying*
Without thinking, Spike ran into the boutique and up the stairs. All of the lights were off and the whole building was a mess. He stopped at the top of the stairs and looked around. It was like the place was hit by a hurricane. Spike was appalled. It was always messy, yeah, but it was an organized mess. This was different, like somepony destroyed everything. Spike grew worried. He made his way to Raritys door. He heard crying, and it was definately Rarity. He was about to storm in when he remembered:
'It's never okay to just walk in to a ladies room. Knock first.' a voice told him. He knocked on the door.
"Sweetie Belle I told you to go play with the others. Go away please!" Rarity yelled. She somewhat stopped crying just to say that. Then he heard her go back to crying heavily.
"Rarity, it's Spike. Is everything okay?" Her sobs soften almost immediately.
"Sp-Spikey, is that you?"
"Yeah it is. Is everything okay?" He asked like he didn't already know. He heard her start crying again, but harder.
"I'm coming in." He said before turning the doorknob, but it was locked.
"Please d-don't. I'm f-fine." She yelled between sobs.
"I'm coming in Rarity." He said again, this time barging the door open. He immediately ran to her side, on the floor.
The room was the worst part of the boutique. If there was anything nice, it's probably ruined now. It looks as if somebody were to literally destroy the room.
"Rarity, what's wrong?"
"Nothing Spikey, I'm okay."
"Doesn't sound like it." Then it hit him. "Where's Fancy Pants?" Saying that word was like spitting poison.
"How did you kn-"
"Fluttershy told me. Where is he?"
"He went back to Canterlot. He left me."
"Why? What happened?"
She sighed, giving up. "Fine. He left me beause of his reputation. He said that if we became public, it would ruin him He didn't wan to be seen woth lower class in front of higher class. I told him it wouldn't and we'd be fine, but he didn't care to here it." Rarity said, tears forming at her eyes. Spikey, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about hi-"
"Stop, we're not going to get into this. I just came to check on you and make sure you okay, and make my leave. And to think I thought something was wrong."
Rarity was beyond appalled. She was so taken back by Spike, she didn't know what to do. She had never seen this side of Spike. It scared her. It was Fancy Pants all over.
"Spikey Wikey, I have never seen this side of you. What has gotten into you?"
"I already told you we're not getting into this. Now that I know you're okay, I'm leaving." Spike made no hesitation to leave her and he made his way to the door.
"Spikey-"
"Stop. You know Rarity, you have alot of nerve to call me that. That's a pet name you gave me, because I'm your pet. And you could never be with a pet. Don't ever call me that name again. And don't bother coming to find me either."
Rarity knew what this was about.
"Spike, if it means-"
I don't wnant to hear your apologies. You hurt me, lied to me, and frankly, I don't care to hear any of it."
Rarity kept going, seeing nothing wrong in anything she's saying.
"Spike, can we still go to dinner?"
"You're out of your mind if you think I would want to. Even if I did, I reused them and went with Fluttershy." He said, beginning to blush.
"Fluttershy, what do you see in her?"
"Well, she's sweet, nice, beautiful, and unlike you, she cares about me. And after what you did to me that night, she was there for me for the pain I was in..I.. was so hurt, Rarity." He now said, starting to just cry. Spike said. He second guessed himself. He didn't realize until just the what he really saw in her. "And since she stuck with me until I was better, I treated her to dinner." Rarity smirked, out of all her sadness.
"Are you two a thing now?" She asked.
"Why do you even care? Another relationship you wanna ruin?"
"Because Spike, if I can't make you happy, I hope somepony else can." She said, tears forming in her eyes agian.
"Save it. Thanks, but save it. You made me happy for so long, Maybe if youwere honest with me, I wouldn't be so mad, more upset. But you led me on for years and years. And you hurt me-"
"And I'm so-so-soo sorry. I only did it so I wouldn't hurt you."
"But you did."
"I didn't try to."
"But you did and that's the point. You weren't mature enough to come out and say you weren't all those years ago and now we're here. Who's the kid now, Rarity?"
Rarity was so taken back, she had no words.
"That's what I thought. Goodbye Rarity." Rarity realized he was leaving, and wasn't gonna make it look like he was right.
"You're acting like Fancy Pants. Gonna be here for me one day nd gone the next. Typical. Colts and dragons are all the same."
Spike was beyond words. He wanted to choke her. Snap her neck, but he didn't. Deep inside, he still loved Rarity.
"Is this what you want to do, Rares. Compare me to some bitch pony boy that was to good for you, so left? Are you sure? Because if anyone, that pony is you. Why is it Rares? Be honest, why don't you want to be with me? Age? Being a dragon?"
"No, not at all-"
"Then why? Is it because your reputation as the best fashion designer in Ponyville and Canterlot? Is it becasue dating a dragon would be too much for them? Too disgusting and low class?" Rarity knew that was the reason.
"That's what I thought."
"Wait, I know how to make this up to you." She got up from her bed and made her way torwards Spike. She looked him in his emerald eyes.
And kissed him.
On one hand, this was what Spike always wanted. He had been waiting for this moment for so long, and now he had it. On he other hand, this was wrong, and he knew it. He thought of Fluttershy. She helped him through so much. All of his pain, eased away when he was with her. This wasn't right. She's sweet, kind, and the person Spike could trust. Rarity wasn't. She was not Fluttershy.
"No, stop!" Spike yelled, pushing her away, even though deep down, he didn't want to. "What was that about, Rarity?!"
"Isn't this what you wanted?"
"N-No. No. You had your chance, and you blew it. You ruined it now. You lied to me, Rarity, and you must be blind to not see it. Maybe I just need some sleep, but I know that I need space from you. All of a sudden you want me now? No! I'm not youre rebound. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future, but right now, Fluttershy is who I want to be with. I waited years for you, wnd I got shit as a result. All I wanted was a sign! Just... leave me alone." were his last words before storming out the door.
"Spike wait!" but it was too late. He was out of the boutique.
"I hope we can still be friends." She said under her breath.
Outside, Spike, was trying to figure out what to do. He just told his childhood love he wanted nothing to do with her. He just anted to run away and not look back. He thought about going to
talk to somepony. Rainbow Dash is out, because she'd tell Fluttershy, and not Fluttershy because her and Rarity are best friends, and Rarity jus kissed him. Twilight wouldn't even bother to care and continue to read. He wws alone again. He flew as fast as he could, at speeds rivaling Rainbow Dash. He flew into the Everfree forest, and didn't look back. But, Spike had to be careful, because night was coming very fast.
