As Rarity walked away to let Spike and Fluttershy be, she still felt really upset. Even though Spike had his marefriend, she wanted Spike back. She was finally able to return the feelings to him, but he didn't want her. She misses her old Spikey-Wikey, the one always so eager to help, the one who s always such a gentledrake, and was always so happy to be with her. It was the little things she took advantage of she now loves the most. But now that Spike "forgave" her, she was happy that she had her friend back. But it still didn't feel the same.
Months had past. Spike moved out of the library and in with Fluttershy. Spike still visits Rarity at the boutique, but not as much. Spike got a job with Fluttershy, helping the more "unfriendly" animals, and some from the Everfree. Fluttershy finally became less timid. She has to be, being with Spike. Rarity is still single. She works alot more now, getting many, many more requests from Caterlot and Manehatten. Everything was back to normal in Ponyville, but Rarity hasn't been. Since the day Spike ran away, she has been feeling, guilty. Nopony knew why. She was still social and talked with her friends alot. It'sonly when Spike and Fluttershy are mentioned.
One day, Rarity decided to pay a visit to the lovely couple.
Spike and Fluttershy were relaxing in the bedroom. Fluttershy reading and Spike eating.
"Don't get any crumbs on the bed. The animals will be on this bed faster than you'd think." Fluttershy said sternly
"I won't. I promise." Spike said, sitting on the bed with a sapphire sandwich. Spike kissed her cheek. Fluttershy blushed, making Spike continue.
"Spiiike, not tonight. Maybe tomorrow."
"But 'Shyyyyyyyyy," Spike moaned, continuing.
"Spike, I told you n-" She was interrupted by a kncok on the door.
"Who could it be at this time?" She asked.
"I got it." Spike said.
Spike went downstairs to the door.
"Who is it?"
"Spike? It's Rarity. Can we talk?"
Spike opened the door relatively quickly, since he hadn't talked to Rarity in two weeks. He was shocked to see her look so, unlke herself. Her hair rushed through, make-up smudged, she looked overtired. It looked as if she barely tried putting anything on.
"Could we talk in private?"
"Uh sure. Fluttershys in he room, so we could talk here?"
"Okay."
"Spikey, who is it?" Fluttershy asked, coming down he stairs.
"Spikey" Rarity muttered the name.
"It's Rarity."
"Oh, alright. Hello Rarity."
"Hello Fluttershy."
"I'll be waiting upstairs for you, Spike." winking at him.
"Okay." Spike smiled. "So what's this about, Rares?"
"Rares" she muttered.
"What was that?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing. So I just came to talk to you about somethings."
"Like?"
She couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Spike, I'm so sorry! I never meant to hurt you like I did! I'm so sorry!" She cried, hugging him tightly.
"Rarity, calm down. What are you talking about?"
"Months back, when you asked me out to dinner. I should've been honest with you Spike. I really wish I could! Spike, I'm in love with you!" She said.
"Rarity, y-you... l-love me?" He stuttered. He was in utter shock.
"Yes Spike, I love you. Over the years, you made me smile and you helped me so much for so long, and I took advantage of you. It was the worst thing I could ever do. When I've been upset, you would be there and I would treat you like a servant. I'm so sorry."
Spike was taken back. Really, he was. His childhood crush, telling him she loves him. If he wasn't in love with Fluttershy, and Rarity didn't hurt him like she did, this would be a dream come true.
"I wish i could've seen how much of an asshole Fancy Pants really was. Do you think you could forgive me for everything?"
At that moment, all of the memories came flooding back in. The lying, the pain she brought, the tears, the blood, the cutting, He began to tear up.
"You know how much you actually hurt me ?"
"Yes Spike! I would kill to take it all back!"
"And if this EVER, happens again, you know you will be punished?"
"Y-Yes."
"Omay then. Rarity, I forgive you." He said, tears running down his cheek. Raritys make-up ran down her face.
"You know you still hold a piece of my heart, right?" Spike asked.
"You mean, this one?" Revealing the fire ruby, from all those year ago.
"Wow, you actually still have that?"
"I would never give this away, Spike. This is worth so much to me."
"Yeah."
"Okay Spike, I should get going. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yep."
"Goodbye my Spikey-Wikey." Giving him a peck on the cheek, making him blush.
"See ya, Rares."
And that was the end of that.
"Spike darling, come to bed. I have a surprise for you." Fluttershy said, rather seductively. Spike knew where this was going. This was going to be a good night.
