Spike and Rarty arrive back at Carousel Boutique.
*gasp* "I have the perfect idea for my Spikey wikey’s outfit for this party!"
"Huh? Whats that?" Asks Spike with a smile.
"Just you wait! There’s no stallion that could possibly be more perfect to wear such a piece!"
"Oh ok!" Responds Spike as Rarity begins to sketch that idea she just got,then she turns back to measure him,Spike giving a sigh.
"Now stand still… I want this to be perfect."
"Uhm…umhm…"
Rarity continues on working on that outfit,as Spike starts whistling,then she gives a gasp.
"How could I forget!! I need some gemstones! Then again,I hope you wouldn't eat them…"
"Not these; don’t worry Pinkie promised me gemstones cupcakes so there will be plenty." As spike finishes his sentence, Rarity gives a giggle.
"Oh spike… always loyal to your word."
"Who do you think I am?"
"Then im gonna get some emeralds…no…rubies…hmmm…"
"Darn! And I knew I shouldn't have eaten that fire ruby from earlier." Continues Spike. "Both of us,with a heart shaped fire ruby…lovely…You should have kept it before."
"Aww…but I let you have it because I lo-" Rarity gets interrupted.
"Wait!! I know! I know!! Wait here!" Said spike as he runs to rarity’s gemstones chest.
"Uhh… how did you know it was there??"
"Dragon instinct!!" Yells Spike from the other room. "No…no no no……AHA !!!HERE they are!" Says spike as he comes back with a heart shaped sapphire and emerald. How could I forget about these ones? Well? I polished these myself,so which one do you think works best? Since you have the eye for this kinda stuff.
"Well… ill have to chose the emerald, it matches your eyes. Almost done… aaand here it is!!" Rarity comes back with a gorgeous tuxedo,with the heart shaped emerald on a cool black bow tie."What do you think?" 
"It looks amazing!! I love it! But not as much as the pony who made it…"
"Aww…" Says Rarity, giving Spike a kiss.
"Now I cant wait to see what you're gonna wear…"
"Hmmhmm… I bet you cant…"
"Woah!! You look amazing!!"
"Well dragon boy? Shall we?"
"Yeah we don’t wanna be late…and I think this party is perfect for our hearts and hooves day date don’t you think?"
"Yes, it will be magnificent."
"I told you I had plans…" Finished Spike giving a grin.
"But,are you sure we’re gonna have some time alone,you know,with everypony there as well?"
"Don’t worry,just because Pinkie will be…just about everywhere in this party,doesn't mean we wont be able to go somewhere…private…"
"Oh my…" said Rarity,bushing.


The couple finally arrives at Sugarcube corner,and everything looks nice and fancy,just like Rarity liked. They go in,then everypony in there stares in awe seeing the beautiful couple.
Pinkie Pie randomly appears in front of them: "HIYA RARE,HIYA SPIKE!! Woaaah…you two look great!!"
"Why Pinkie,you've outdone yourself with this party." Said Rarity
"Thanks! Gummy helped!" Said Pinkie tilting her head towards Gummy on an used Party cannon.
Suddenly,Twilight and Trixie appear.
"Gosh, you two have become the center of attention." Said Twilight with a smile.
"Hehe… did we?" Said spike,blushing at the same time as Rarity.
"Looks like we’ll have a romance scenario tonight…" said Trixie with a smirk on her face. At those words, everypony awwwed,with a cute smile on their faces.
Suddenly,RD,AJ and Fluttershy appear.
"Hi everypony!" Said Spike I think you all know about the…earlier events…
"Oh… my... yes Twilight told us all about it… im sorry about Trixie…" said Fluttershy.
"…Trixie is just like me… Ah didn't know ‘bout this…" Said AJ,covering her mouth with her hat.
"And Trixie, im sorry I was so angry at you before." Said Spike, coming closer to Trixie.
"No worries…I deserved it…"
"Enough with all this sap! Are we gonna party hard ponies?!" Said Pinkie,breaking the silence.
"Lets get this party started!!" Said DJ Pon-3 from the corner of the room,placing a CD on her bass dropper.
The party starts,everypony is having a great time,and RD is drunk on cider.
"Umm… Rainbow… I think you had enough cider…" said Twilight
"No twi…you has enough cider*hic* this party is just heating up… dontr bea a party popper…" responded RD,barely keeping her balance.
"Don’t worry twi,I’ll get her lay down to calm her down,now c’mon Rainbow!" said AJ,dragging her away.
"H-hey watch it! Who do you think your touching…?" Said RD,falling asleep.
In the meantime, another song beats down, Spike and Pinkie headbanging like crazy. Rarity watches Spike from afar,as Twilight comes to her side.
"Isnt he just perfect…" thought Rarity to herself.
"Having fun?" Asks Twilight
"Why,yes indeed.How is Trixie taking you as her mentor?"
"Shes ok… I suppose,even though shes a bit too respectful with me."
As Twi and Rarity are having a nice little conversation,Spike gets drunk as well…then,song changes to a song that Spike used to sing to Rarity just about every time,and he starts to karaoke. As Spike performs,Rarity is still watching him.
"Doesn’t he have the voice of an angel…?"*sigh*
"Did you say something?" Asks Twi.
"No,nothing!"
"Why are you blushing? Is it too hot in here?"
"Somedrake busted some flames around here… umm…I mean,do you want me to offer you a drink?? Hehe…"
"Well Rarity,what magic trick are you gonna use on him?" Asks Trixie with a grin on her face.
"i…I think im gonna go get some fresh air…" said Rarity as Spike finishes his song,and follows her outside.
"Enjoying the party so far,sweetie?" Asks Spike.
"Umm… yeah… its nice…"
"You seem kinda…"
"Kinda...?"
"Kinda… umm…sad…upset… whats the word… You sure you're ok Rary?"
"Oh…i..uh…did- did I tell you what a great performance you just had? It was for sure one that even Celestia would enjoy...."
"I sure did…" says a known voice from behind them.
"P-princess?? W-what are you doing here?" Said Spike a bit confused.
"Well I heard there was a party that I didn't quite want to miss out on. And I also know about everything that happened today…I wanted to congratulate you on your earlier performance."
"Umm… yeah… thanks I guess…it was kinda bad honestly…"
"Oh no it wasn't,Spike,like Rarity said,I really liked it,especially because It was for your very special somepony." Said Celestia,giving a smile.
Spike and Rarity both blushed.
"Well,ill leave you two alone now."
"Ok Princess. Hey sweetie, shall we go back inside now?"
Rarity,still stunned to see Celestia. "Don’t wake me up…I cant believe her highness was actually here…umm yes,we shouldn't keep the others waiting."
As they return,the music stops and everypony stares at them.
"Why is everypony…?" Spike began to ask,everypony smiling at them. "Umm… I don’t get it…" As Twilight tilts her head upwards. They both look up only to see a mistletoe held by a pink magical aura,it was Trixie…
They both blush. Suddenly, romantic song starts,Spike whispers to Rarity: "Roll with it…" With a grin on his face,grabbing Rarity in a dance pose,while everypony else is watching.
*sigh* "Aren't they just perfect for each other? Said Twi
"Told ya!"*wink* answers Trixie
Everypony is so enchanted by their dance,even Vinyl takes off her glasses.
"Your steps are very precise… have you been practicing?" Asks Rarity
"Hmmm… not really." Celestia watches from outside, Spike seeing her,giving him a wink,followed by spike’s.
"Awww…this is too sweet,even more sweet than strawberry cake." Said Pinkie.
When the dance ends,everypony is cheering. "Wooooo!!!!"
"I just wanted to say, you two are the cutest couple ever!" Said Trixie.
"Exactly!" Said Twi
"Th-thanks… and Spike…thank you for the dance, it was quite unique…" Said Rarity,blushing.
"Anytime sweetie."
Twi drags Spike closer with her magic. "I never thought this will work out between you and Rarity." Said Twi, with a grin on her face.
"Umm…Twi? Do you know who youre talking to? Please! I saw this since we first arrived to ponyville."
"HEY EVERYPONY!!! Yells Pinkie at the microphone. Gather round for the group hug and photo!!"
Everyone gathers in front of the camera,with Rarity and Spike in the middle. Soon the party ends, everyone going back to their homes.
"You sure you don’t wanna stay,you two? There's still some cake left." Asks Pinkie.
"Hmmm… no thanks, we’re good,right sweetie?" Answers Spike.
"Yes… we should really get going,tomorrow is a long day,and I still have so many requests from Manehattan that I need to finish."
"Oh ok! Have a lovely night you two." Said Pinkie, trying not to laugh.
Bwahahahaha!!! Get it? Love-ly??? HAHahahaha!!!!*snort*
"Hehe… pinkie and her puns..." Says Spike,giving a giggle." ‘night Pinks!"
"‘night you two!"

The couple finnaly arrives back at the Boutique.
"Ahhhhh…! Home finnaly! Haven’t partied so hard since… since Pinkie’s last party." Says Spike, throwing himself on the couch.
Rarity gives a sweet giggle.
"Since youre the first candidate at her parties,its no wonder."
"Yup! Those cupcakes she makes are amazing!"
"Hmm...A cup of tea would do right now … im going to make one… want some hot cocoa with marshmallows? Hmmm… something that puts everypony in the mood,I guess… exept sugar."
"Yeah some hot cocoa will do." Said Spike,as he squeaks, stretching on the couch.
"Ahhhh… much better…!"
Rarity comes back with her tea, and hands over Spike’s cup of cocoa.
"Here!"
"Thanks!" Spike takes the cup, as they both smile.
"Well… Today has been…hmm…whats the word… awesome! I mean, we finally got Trixie on our side,I was an egg for 5 minutes…got stunned by her magic,which didn't feel anything to be honest… except I couldn't move at all… well,I guess that’s what I get for being so aggressive." Said Spike,giving a chuckle.
"You got me the scare quite hard back there…"
"Sorry,that shock was quite a shock."
"Shock for both of us… you should ask Fluttershy to check on you tomorrow."
Oh c'mon now…im fine. And if I had any problems, im sure twilight can fix me in a jiffy,since she has a book for everything.But if you want to… I could do that."
"Best be precarious now than regretting later. It feels like it was yesterday…the day we got together…"
"Yeah... I know……I was kinda surprised back then when Pinkie told me what you really feel for me…I wasn't sure you really loved me…until that day at least."
"I wasn't sure about you either,darling…but I really needed to find out…"
"Yeah… when I saw you with Tunderlane,I was sure you’d never love me in the future,and I had to find someone else,which I did,well... for a short time…"
"Yes I remember…when I saw you with Sweetie Belle,I thought the same…that you didn't have that crush on me any more…"
"I always liked you Rarity, I was… well… too shy to tell you directly… and im sorry it had to take that much."
"Aww its not a problem now,darling,we are here now,aren’t we?"
"Yeah…we sure are…"
The moment they began to hug,Spike remembered a certain quote:


My sweet Valentine…
I hold the brightest Star in my arms
Tonight…
…And forever more I shall…


The End
