The next day, Fluttershy went through her morning wtih enthusiasm. She had bit of "pep" in her step, humming a tune while doing the daily chores. She had a huge smile on her face that was noticed by Angel, who looked curious as to why shebwas so happy. Fluttershy was always happy, but this was enough to scare Angel. As Fluttershy finished tending to her garden, she entered her cottage and noticed the flowers. Spike gave those to her last night.
"Spike..." She muttered, her smile widening even more. She rememebered last night. Taking her to dinner. Bringing her around Canterlot. Spike being such a gentledrake. Spike kissing her at the door.
Spike kissed her at the door.
And she slammed the door in his face. He smile left her face, She felt bad for Spike.
"I need to apologize to Spike." Fluttershy said, leisurely making her way out.
-------------------------------------
Back at the library, Twilight was just waking up. She looked over to the bed on the other side of the room. It was made perfectly.
"Hmm. did Spike already wake up?" She groggily said to herself.
She made her way downstairs. No sign of Spike anywhere.
"Where is Spike?" She was saying to herself.
Then she finally remembered.
"Hehe. Oh yeah." She stopped her worrying and made breakfast. That was until she heard a knock at the door.
"Mm. Hold on. I'm on my way." She said, still drowsy.
"T-Twilight? It's an emergency. It's about Spike."
Twilight felt worried, but quickly relaxed herself. She knew it couldn't have been that bad. She opened the door.
What she found was shocking. She saw, standing across from her, was a distraught Rarity. She was in tears. Her make-up smudged and hair a mess. She had bags under her eyes. She must not have gotten sleep.
"What's up?"
"It's about Spike."
"Yeah, you told me that, but what happened?"
"Well. It started about yesterday afternoon, when Fancy Pants came over-"
"Fancy Pants came over?"
"Yes, we were dating. He told me to keep it a secret, which is why he left me. Anyway..." and Rarity explained everything to her. Throughout the story, she would start to cry more and more. By the end, she was bawling her eyes out.
"...So I came here to apologize to him, even though he doesn't want to see me. What do you think about this?"
"Rarity, I'm disappointed in you. How could you do this to Spike for so long? And then go after him now? You were so greedy, using his love to get what you wanted. You're supposed to be the Element of Generousity. How could you?"
"I know Twilight. That's why I came to apologize."
"You're out of luck. He didn't come home, so I assumed he slept over Fluttershys cottage after their date. That's the only place he could be."
"Let's get going then." They were just about to leave, when they heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Twilght said.
In came Fluttershy, with a grin on her face.
"Fluttershy? Where's Spike?" Twilight asked.
"I thought he was here. I came to apologize for slamming the door in his face when... he kissed me. I was so shocked, I just had to. Luckily, Rainbow explained to him why and he was content and went home."
"That must have been when he came to the boutique." Rarity said.
"Spike went to the boutique last night?"
"We'll explain on the way, but we have to leave now." Twilight said. Even though her exterior was cool and calm, she was freaking out on the inside. Everything happening with Rarity and Fluttershy, and to top it off, Spike didn't come home. Twilight was worried. They started a search party and began looking for Spike.
In the Everfree forest, Spke managed to get to the very edge. He was sitting on a cliff, looking at the rest of Equestria. It was so beautiful. He had never seen anything like it. Spike was able to clear his head. Spike still had to make a decision, which was a bit obvious.
"I wish I could stay here forever. Forget about everything. And just watch the sunset." Spike said to himself. He took a deeo breathe and began to think.
Fluttershy was the best thing to happen to him. She made him so hapoy, and she basically saved his life. He knows now, he wants to be with her. But, something inside Spike kept going with Rarity. She always held a piece of his heart, the fire ruby. He gave that to her, and she loved it. And when they kissed, he knew it was wrong, but he didn't care in the moment until reality hit him. The kiss was all he ever wanted. But it was wrong. And so is what Rarity did to him. It made him want to burn down the forest right there. But when his thoughts went back to Fluttershy, he was fine. He started hearing her voice. Sweet sweet Fluttershy.
And Rainbow Dash? Spike looked up and noticed the two flying in the air looking for him. He didn't even bother running. He knew he would be cauht by one of them. he heard Applejack and Pinkie in the bakground, Twilight sounded worried, Rarity wasn't even talking.
Suddenly he felt something brush up against his arm.
It was Fluttershy, and she took a seat right next to him.
"Hello Spike.."
"H-Hi. Do you already know?"
"Y-Yes."
"I'm so sorry this happened."
"Don't apologize. I would've done the same thing as you."
"You would?"
"Of course I would. I don't blame you for what you did. It was Raritys fault. She came onto you, and you had nothing to do with it." You comforted her in her time of need when she needed somepony. She sounds like you a little." She joked.
"Yeah, I guess."
Fluttershy cuddled up on his arm and they watched the he bottom of the sun hit the horizon. It was going to be dark soon. Spike wraped his arm around Fluttershy and they laid together. Then, Fluttershy went in for a kiss, unbeknownst to Spike. And this time, it didn't feel awkward. No pony felt like hiding when it happened. Spike went along with it, and they felt the sparks fly.
"I love you" They said in unison. Then, Rarity found them. Spike cleared his throat.
"Oh boy, I should continue looking for Spike, since he's not here!" Rarity said, winking to Spike. They finished their kiss. Fluttershy and Spike felt so happy to be together. This was nice.
