Chapter 5
The Dance Competition
Few weeks later, Spike was making friends, he's getting use to his classes, and thanks to Pipsqueak and the Crusaders giving him a tour Spike finally knows half of this school. It's getting easy for him until he started to make difficult choices.
Spike and Pipsqueak was walking down the hallways heading to their next class. What kind of adventure will Spike be facing next?
"I can't believe Mr. Discord is teaching us music today?" Spike asked.
"He sucks at it, one right note and he gets mad over it," Pipsqueak said, chuckling. "But on the bright side, Octavia will be in there, and man can she play an instrument."
"Doesn't she play the cello?" Spike said.
"Yeah, but she's also learning how to conduct," Pipsqueak continued. "But you should meet her friend; she's the complete opposite of her."
"Yeah, Vinyl Scratch," Spike said. "I met her in class, and she's one hell of a DJ player."
"You already met her in class?"
"Her and Octavia, it's been a week Pipsqueak, not a day since I was new here."
Students came running by them on by one rushing to a crowd around the corner. The two friends have gotten curious of what was the fuss about. They push through the crowd and saw what they were looking at. There was a poster on the wall saying a dance competition is going to be held at school.
"No way," Pipsqueak spoke. "A dancing contest."
"A DANCE CONTEST!" Pinkie pushes Spike and Pipsqueak aside out of nowhere.
"Where is she coming from?" Pipsqueak asked.
"I want to know myself," Spike answered.
"Would ya look at that," Applejack lean her arm over on top of Spike's head. "A dance off."
"I'm so excited!" Pinkie cried out.
"What's going on girls?" Twilight said, walking with Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy.
"Ooooo~~~," Rarity rushes to the poster. She rips it off and shows it to her friends. "There's a dance competition holding at this school."
"A dance competition!" Twilight took the poster out of her hands. "I can't wait."
"I'm so in if you enter!" Pinkie excitedly said.
"Don't forget me about me," Rarity said.
"What about you guys?" Twilight asks her friends.
"I think I'll ask Sweetie Belle to dance with me," Pipsqueak said.
"Aw, I'm sure she'll say yes," Rarity said in a adore way.
"Course I'm enterin'," Applejack answered Twilight's question. "I have dozens of country songs to show off my dance moves."
"I'm not much of a dancer," Rainbow Dash spoke. "I'll watch you guys dance, just don't let ME dance."
"I just watch the fun, I normally don't enter competition, if that's okay with you," Fluttershy said softly.
"I don't know," Spike shrugs his shoulders.
"Aw, come on, Spike, it'll be fun," Pinkie said.
"Who will I dance with though?"
"That's easy, Spike," Twilight said.
"Yeah, I think I know who you want to dance with," Applejack said.
"Really? Who?" Spike asks.
"Me!" Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie all said at the same time. They all look at each other giving looks to one another.
"I think you two are mistaken," Applejack spoke first. "Me and Spike, I think we make a perfect team."
"Spike isn't country, Applejack," Twilight said. "Besides, I think my assistant would go dancing with a smooth dancer instead of a country dancer."
"Your both wrong," Pinkie came rushing to Spike grabbing his arm. "Spike is the type of guy who wants to go crazy dancing such as myself."
"I think he prefers country music!" Applejack took Spike's other arm as she looks at Pinkie.
They started arguing as they pull Spike's arms. Spike was like a tug-a-war to them, it felt like his arms was about to come apart.
"Will you girls stop fighting?" Twilight said as she grabs Spike's jacket. "He wants me as his dance partner!"
The all tried to pull Spike away from each other leaving him in pain.
"Will you all stop it!" a girl said.
They all stop pulling on Spike. It was Octavia wearing her clean light grey button sleeve shirt with a light pink bowtie around her neck and her black skirt. She also wore pure white stockings that her knees were hiding. She wore black dress shoes and her hair was black and long.
She took Spike away from them and made him stood next to her.
"You don't go forcing people to go to the dance with you," Octavia said in a soft furious way. "A gentleman, such as Spike, would have to ask one of you girls to dance with him."
"Don't tell me you want to dance with Spike," Twilight said, hoping she'll say no.
"Actually, I'll be judging this year," Octavia said. She got down to her knees and wraps her arms around Spike's neck. They touch cheek to cheek as she starts snuggling him. "Besides, if I did enter the contest I would've taken away from you three and force him to dance with me."
"What!?" Spike blushed. He throws his hood over his head covering his blush.
The three of them burst their eyes into flames growing pure jealousy, watching her cuddling with Spike like that.
"Why is it he gets the ladies and I don't?" Pipsqueak grew jealous.
"Maybe it's because Spike is in high school with us, he is a freshman," Fluttershy answered.
"He's the same age as me!"
"Octavia, stop holding Spike like a lost puppy," Discord scooted her away from Spike. "You know the school's policy."
"Then why doesn't he stop the Diamond Dogs picking on Spike," Rainbow Dash asked.
"Get to class, kids," Discord leads them into his classroom. "I feel like magic today when I hear the beautiful band playing."
In the classroom, the students were getting their instruments out. Twilight plays the piano, Applejack plays the fiddle, Pinkie plays the trumpet, Spike saxophone player, Pipsqueak the trombone player, Octavia the cello player, and Vinyl Scratch as the electric guitar player.
Vinyl sat next to Spike. Her hair was stripe blue and light blue. She wore a plain white T-shirt that has a picture of two eighth notes tied together with a blue vest over it and blue shorts that was showing her thighs. She has headphones around her neck and goggles on top of her head revealing her bright magenta eyes.
"Yo, Spike, what is up," Vinyl said. Her and Spike knuckled bump each other.
"Hey, Vinyl," Spike said. "Ready for another class with Mr. Discord."
"Nope."
"Me neither."
"Okay class," Mr. Discord began. "I have some bad news."
"You lost your sense of music?" Pipsqueak joked.
"Very funny, Pipsqueak," Mr. Discord laughed. "Sadly I have to teach two classes at once today, Ms. Cheerilee is sick but will be back tomorrow. For now I want to hear my class play, Octavia, would you kindly lead the group today?"
Octavia stood out of her chair and grabs the baton off the desk. She stood in front of the group with music in front of her on the podium. She lifts the baton and began playing.
The band plays the song but was playing horribly. You could hear what they were playing, but a few missed notes. Octavia was sickened by the sound as Mr. Discord smiled thinking it was beautiful.
"Wonderful!" Mr. Discord shouted as the band played loudly. "Beautiful! Keep playing while I go to the other room!"
Octavia and the rest of the band watch him go out of the room. As soon as he closed the door behind him, Octavia picked up the beat with four taps on the podium with her baton.
TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!
The students picked up the beat playing groovy music. Twilight was playing the piano wildly. Pinkie plays the trumpet real loud. Applejack played the fiddle very fast. The whole band was playing like a Broadway musical band. They swing their instruments left to right as they get into the beat. They were perfect till Mr. Discord came back in. They played slow and horrible again.
"I feel magic in the air!" Mr. Discord yelled out, waving his arms in the air side to side. He notices Pipsqueak blowing bubble gum out of his trombone. The gum grew big and round as it came out of the horn. Mr. Discord took the baton out of Octavia's hand and walks towards Pipsqueak. "No chewing gum in class, Pipsqueak!"
He pokes the bubble gum with the baton and made a loud popping noise. Pipsqueak frowned watching Mr. Discord walking back to Octavia giving her baton back.
"Keep playing!" Discord said. "I'll come back in five minutes!"
Mr. Discord walks out of the room. Octavia picked up the beat again.
TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!
The band played excellent once again. Applejack stood out of her chair and began to dance. She dances like a cowgirl as she showed off her dance moves. Soon Twilight pushes her away and dances as well. She did a ballet dance twirling around 10 times without making herself dizzy. Pinkie then got up and dances like crazy. She slide left to right and did the splits.
Octavia slaps her forehead. So did Spike. They both knew what was up.
"Why are they dancing?" Vinyl asks Spike.
"The reason why they're dancing is because a dance competition is coming up," Spike answered. "But really, they're just showing off to see who I go with."
"They're dancing because they want you to see who you go with?"
"Pretty much."
Mr. Discord came in from behind. The girls quickly got back to their seats and played horribly once again.
"I love it!" Mr. Discord shouted. "I want you to play faster this time!"
The band did as they were told picking up the pace.
"Come on, you can do better than that; faster!"
The band played faster and faster. Octavia was swinging the baton around her. They played faster and faster and faster till Applejack saw smoke coming out of her fiddle. The whole band was sweating and their faces turned blue from not taking a single breath.
"And~~~ stop!" Mr. Discord cried out.
The band stops dropping their instruments down to the ground. They lay back against their chairs breathless. Twilight fell forward against the piano and Octavia fell to the ground worn out. The whole room was acting like they were dead.
"Take a rest as I go teach the rest of the class next door," Mr. Discord said, leaving the worn out students.
(Later)
Spike was walking down the hallway still worn out from band. He was soon stopped by Twilight Sparkle. She gave him a big smile for Spike as he didn't like where this was going.
"Hi, Spike," Twilight spoke.
"Uh... Hi," Spike awkwardly said. "Did you need something?"
"Just roaming around the halls," she said. "But since we're together, I've been thinking."
"If you're wondering who I'm going with I already chosen," Spike said making Twilight shocked.
"Oh, Spike, of course I would go to the dance with you," she said.
"It's not you," Spike made Twilight heartbroken.
"ALL RIGHT!" Pinkie bust out of a locker scaring Spike and Twilight half to death.
"Pinkie! Were you spying on us!?" Spike cried out.
"Yes, and can I say something to you," Pinkie walks over to Spike pushing Twilight away. Pinkie got down on one knee and grabs Spike's hand. Her eyes were sparkling making Spike into a short trance. "If you wanted to go to the dance with me, all you have to do is ask. And together, we will win by dancing our feet till our hearts are on fire."
"Pinkie, the competition is just for fun," Spike blushed. "But it's not you who I want to go dancing with."
"WHAT!" Pinkie dream was shattered.
Applejack came out of nowhere pushing Pinkie out of the way and stole her position. Pinkie bumps into Twilight as they both fell down. The two saw Applejack holding a rose for Spike in her mouth. She then grabs a hold of Spike around the waist and dips him down nose to nose.
"I may be western, cowboy," Applejack took the rose out of her mouth and placed it into Spike's mouth making him blush. "But that doesn't mean I don't know how to tango."
"I'm flattered, Applejack," Spike said with the rose in his mouth. "But, not to be rude and all, but I don't to dance with you."
"What?" Applejack drops Spike to the floor making an ooof! sound.
"Spike, what are you saying," Twilight came over to Spike helping him up.
"I don't want to dance with either of you; I want to dance with Rarity!" Spike shouted. This made his friends hearts shattered and depress. "You three keep forcing me to dance with one of you and it's not working. Besides, she's not forcing me to dance with her like you three. I'm sorry, but this has got to stop."
Spike walks out of the school building leaving the three girls heartbroken. They were sad because he was right, and they felt bad for it.
"I can't believe it," Applejack said.
"We pushed him to far," Twilight spoke.
"Now he won't be dancing with any one of us," Pinkie said.
They all look at each other and gotten mad.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" They all said at once.
Spike was walking outside and saw Rarity by the flag pole. Spike smiled as he walks towards her. Rarity turns to see Spike and was glad to see him.
"Hi, Spike," Rarity said. "Did you need something?"
"Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie are forcing me to go dancing with one of them," Spike said. "So I was thinking maybe you would go to the dance with me."
"Oh, Spikey-Wikey, I would love to take you to the dance," Rarity smiles making Spike relieved. "But somebody already asked me to go dancing."
Spike broke his smile and his eyes widen of disappointment.
"With who!?" Spike dared asked.
"Blueblood," Rarity said. "I'm sorry, dear."
"But you can't, I mean, the three of them will-"
"We still have a chance!" Pinkie cried out behind Spike.
"Come on, Spike, you have to choose," Applejack said.
"She's right, if you want to dance, you have to choose now," Twilight crosses her arms.
"Okay, fine, the reason why I don't want to go dancing is because I don't know how to dance!" Spike shouted.
The girls were silence surprised to hear Spike saying that.
"Wait, you don't know how to dance?" Pinkie asked.
"No," Spike answered.
"Then why did you ask Rarity to dance with you?" Twilight asked.
"To get you three off my backs," Spike said.
The four girls were silence once again as Applejack raise her hand saying to come here to the girls. The four of them huddled around whispering. Spike wanted to hear what they were saying but couldn't make out what. The girls' turns back to Spike and had a plan going on.
"Okay, Spike, we'll teach you how to dance," Applejack said.
"...Really?" Spike said making sure this wasn't a joke.
"We'll teach you how to dance like a pro," Pinkie said.
"We're going to have a night out," Rarity said.
"A night out?" Spike asked.
"First we need Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash," Twilight took out her cell phone and dial Rainbow Dash's phone number.
At a baseball field, Rainbow Dash answered her phone.
"Hello?" she answered. "... Hey, Twilight... Uh-huh... Spike... Can't dance... We'll be right over, first I have to do something."
She hung up and walks over to a pitching machine and turned it on.
"Okay, Fluttershy! Ready!?" Rainbow Dash called out to her. She grabs a ball out of a bucket next to the machine and was about to stick it into it.
Fluttershy was wearing pillows all over her body with a pitching glove in hand and a umpire mask on. Her legs were shaking in fear.
"C-C-Can you c-c-count down first, before y-y-you pitch it," Fluttershy said, shaking her words. "I always think th-th-that's always a g-g-good idea before-"
Rainbow Dash drops it in the machine sending the ball flying at Fluttershy. Fluttershy couldn't help but ran for the hills as she yelps. Rainbow Dash watches her and started to run after her.
"Fluttershy! Wait!" she called out. "I'm sorry!"
(At Sugarcube Corner)
Night went by as the seven friends were eating ice-cream on a booth discussing about Spike's dancing problem.
"So Spike doesn't know how to dance then," Rainbow Dash said.
"Afraid so, Twilight said.
"Don't worry, dear," Rarity said to Spike. "Not everyone is good at dancing."
"Yeah, but I do it embarrassedly," Spike groaned.
"Come on, Spike," Fluttershy said. "I'm sure you don't look that horrible."
"Yeah, show us a little dance move," Rainbow Dash said. All the girls agreed with her.
Spike got out of the booth and showed them what he got. All he did really was sliding left to right in a awkward position. As he finished the girls looks at him with jaws down.
"See! I told you it sucks," Spike crosses his arms.
"Hold on, Spike," Rarity walk's out of her booth and came to Spike. She grabs his hands and was about to dance with him.
"Grab my waist," Rarity said putting Spike's hand on her waist. "Now hold my hand and follow my lead."
Rarity and Spike dances around the room. Spike followed her footsteps one by one. Mr. and Mrs. Cake watch the two dance as they held hands together. Spike was amazed by Rarity's dance. He learns a few bit more steps and ended with a final step.
"Not bad," Rarity said, smiling at him.
"Really?" Spike said.
"Okay, partner," Applejack stood up taking Spike away from Rarity. "I'll teach you a thing or two about dancin'."
"This isn't a competition, Applejack," Rarity puts her hands on her waist.
"It is for the ones who want to dance with Spike," Applejack brought Spike close to her making him blush.
Applejack taught him to dance like a cowboy and also taught him how to swing his partner around. Soon Pinkie butted in.
"Our turn!" Pinkie said.
Pinkie taught Spike how to dance with spin and dips, also how to act silly when dancing. Then Twilight came in taking Spike away.
"Come on, Spike," Twilight said. "I'll show you how it's really done.
Twilight taught him how to slide with his partner, making it look smooth for them.
Each one of them taught Spike how to dance, but they grew jealous to one another. It was late and was time for the gang to head home. They walk down the streets in town still talking about the dance.
"I've been thinking," Spike said. "When is this competition?"
"About four days away, why," Fluttershy asked.
"Because what if I have lessons from you three each day," Spike suggested.
"Like taking turns?" Pinkie said.
"Yeah, and at the end of the day of the dance contest I'll choose who I want to dance with."
"Hey, that doesn't sound too bad," Rainbow Dash said.
"But there is a plus note, though," Spike points out.
"And what might that be?" Applejack asks.
"That if I choose who I want to dance with, you girls have to deal with it," Spike said.
"Of course we'll deal with it," Twilight said.
"No you won't," Spike stops them. "You three are fighting over someone who you're begging to go with. You won't deal with it if I get to choose who I want to dance with. You three are best friends, and best friends don't fight against each other."
The three girls look at each other and thought about what they were doing throughout the day. They were fighting over Spike, instead of making a plan.
"Sorry, Spike," Pinkie said.
"I guess we gotten carried away," Applejack rubs her head.
"We promise that whoever you choose, we'll be fine with it," Twilight said.
Spike gave them a smile.
"Okay, then it's agreed?" Spike said seeing the three nod together. "Alright, Twilight will go first, then Applejack, then Pinkie."
"What if I want to go first?" Pinkie said.
"Spike asked me to go first because he's my assistant," Twilight answered.
"Now hold on, cowgirl, what if I want to go first?" Applejack said.
"Girls!" Spike said looking at them with angry eyes as he crossed his arms.
"We're sorry," they all said together.
Spike gave them a warm smile and began practicing dancing. Spike went over to Twilight's place learning their dance moves. They were smooth and slick and Twilight's parents taking pictures of them dancing. Twilight panics as she took the camera away from them in embarrassment. Spike laughs as he saw the photo they took, Twilight will admit that they look cute together.
The next day, Spike went over to Applejack's farm. Applejack took a record out a record disk and put it in a record player. They dance together in the barn letting Big Mac, Applebloom, and Granny Smith being their judges. They stop dancing and saw what they wrote on a small piece of paper. they held it up showing an 5, 4, and a 6. Than Winona came in jumping on Spike. He dances with the dog and the judges gave them an 8, 9, 8.
Finally, Spike went to Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie babysits the babies. They went inside and dance silly. Pound and Pumpkin Cake clapped as they enjoyed watching the two dance. Spike and Pinkie bowed down to them.
(The Day of the Dance Contest)
The gym was filled with students wearing their tuxedos and dresses. There were snacks, balloons floating in the ceiling, tables were set, and the judges were watching. Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie showed up in dresses with their favorite color. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came in with their regular clothes on. Spike came in behind wearing a purple tux with a red rose on and a green bow tie.
"This is it you guys," Twilight said. "The moment we've been waiting for,"
"Hey girls and guy," Pipsqueak said wearing a black tux. Sweetie Belle was with him wearing her purple blouse.
"Hey, Pipsqueak," Spike said.
"You two look cute together," Rarity said.
"Rarity!" Sweetie Belle groaned.
"Who are you dancing with?" Pipsqueak asks Spike.
"I'm about to choose," Spike said.
"Up next is Pipsqueak and Sweetie Belle," Octavia as the judge spoke into the microphone.
"Good luck to you both," Fluttershy said.
"Thanks," Sweetie Belle said.
"Tell me who you're dancing with when we come back," Pipsqueak said.
They both got to the dance floor and danced.
"Rarity!" a Senior called out to her.
It was Blueblood. Wearing his white tux with a blue bow tie on. His hair was curled all the way to the bottom flowing down. He was tall and handsome to go with it.
He took Rarity's hand and kissed it.
"Oh, stop it, you," Rarity blushed. "Everyone, this is Blueblood, he's a senior."
"Doesn't he look sassy to you," Spike whispered to Rainbow Dash's ear.
"Please, he IS sassy," Rainbow Dash said.
"You ready to go dance away and win our trophy," Blueblood asked.
"We're just here for fun, Blueblood," Rarity said.
"Hey! Are we forgetting something?" Applejack said.
"Oh, yeah. Spike is about to choose who he wants to dance with," Pinkie said.
"So, Spike," Twilight pulls Spike in. "Who do you want to dance with? And it's okay if one of us doesn't get picked."
"How about we wait till Rarity and Blueblood goes and then I'll pick," Spike said.
"Up next is Blueblood and Rarity," Octavia said.
Pipsqueak and Sweetie Belle came back to them sweating.
"You're next," Sweetie Belle said.
"Thanks," Rarity said as they walked together.
"Break a leg," Pipsqueak said.
Rarity then trips over her heels. Everyone was in shocked.
"That's the spirit, Rarity!" Pinkie gave her a thumb up.
"Rarity, are you okay?" Spike said, kneeling down helping her up.
"Yeah, I just sprang my ankle," Rarity said.
"Rarity!" Blueblood pushes Spike to the ground making an ooof! sound. "You're ankle, I'm sorry I didn't catch you. Are you able to dance?"
"Yeah, I think I can manage," Rarity stood up and tried to stand on her feet. But her ankle made it hurt. "Just a little sprang, at least there's a slight chance we could win."
"... A chance," Blueblood hesitated. "Rarity, I can't take that chance."
"What do you mean?" Rarity said to him.
"I mean, I really want to win this."
"But this is just for fun."
"Just for fun? I REALLY want to win this Rarity," Blueblood said. "Besides, you were dancing with this ten year old at Sugarcube Corner."
"Hey," Spike said as Pipsqueak helped him up. "This ten year old happens to have a name."
"I was teaching him to dance," Rarity chuckled.
"I thought we had a thing together," Blueblood said.
"A 'thing'! What 'thing'!" Rarity threw her laugh away.
"... I see," Blueblood said standing back up without helping Rarity. "Have fun playing it solo."
"Hold on, Buckeroo," Applejack said tipping her hat down. "I think we 'oughta teach you a lesson on how to treat women properly."
"How about a beat down against us two," Rainbow Dash said cracking her knuckles.
Blueblood stumbled back and took off running.
"Yeah, and don't come back!" Pipsqueak shouted, he then took Rainbow Dash's arm and pretending she was holding him back. "Hold me back! Hold me back, Rainbow Dash!"
Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow but go along with it.
"Blueblood and Rarity, you're up next," Octavia continued.
"Now what do I do," Rarity was about to cry till Spike came to the plate.
"I'll dance with you," Spike said.
"WHAT!" Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie cried out.
"Pipsqueak, can you go to the judges and change Blueblood's name to mine?" Spike asked.
"Way ahead of ya," Pipsqueak rushes to Octavia.
"Blueblood and Rar-"
Pipsqueak whispered something in her ear.
"Rarity and Spike?" Octavia said covering the mic with her hand as Pipsqueak continued talking into her ear. "Partner gone? A sprang ankle? Pipsqueak, I can't do that. I'm sorry, but they're disqualified."
"Really?" Pipsqueak grabs a five dollar bill out of his pocket. "And how would Abe Lincoln react to that?"
Octavia looks around as she slowly took the five away and put it in her pocket.
"Up next will be Spike and Rarity," Octavia spoke into the microphone. Pipsqueak whispered something else into her ear. "Who made up a dance called... The Sprang."
Spike slaps his forehead but rolled with it. Spike helps Rarity up and helps her walk over to the dance floor.
"Follow my lead," Spike whispered to Rarity.
The song began to play and Spike step in and out his left leg, so did Rarity with her sprang ankle. Spike grabs Rarity and twirled her around with her good ankle. The crowd was cheering knowing her ankle was sprung. Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie were happy Spike did the right thing, and just to prove their attitude they went to groups telling them to cheer on and applaud them. The crowds cheered, applaud, and whistled at them.
As they were done dancing, they bowed down and saw Octavia rushing over to them with a microphone in hand.
"The winner is Spike and Rarity!" she cried out.
Spike and Rarity was happy they win. Rarity gave Spike a big kiss on his cheek making him blush hard red.
"Come on everybody!" Octavia continued. "Let's all do The Sprang!"
They all dance and acted like their ankles was sprang. Spike was dancing with Rarity. Pretty soon he dances with Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie at the same time. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy dances with them along with Pipsqueak and Sweetie Belle.
As the dance was over with, night came by and Spike and the girls walks outside heading home. Rarity was carrying the trophy her and Spike won.
"That was awesome," Rainbow Dash said. "You two rocked it."
"I guess we did," Spike said, he turned to Twilight and the other two. "And thank you three for supporting us."
"Like we said, it's not a problem," Pinkie said.
"Because we're friends," Twilight said.
"Best friends," Applejack corrected her as she grabs Twilight and Pinkie around their necks.
"So, you want to grab a bite to eat?" Twilight asked.
"Nah, I'm taking Rarity home tonight," Spike said.
"Before you go, Spike," Pinkie stops them. "Who were you going to dance if Rarity didn't hurt her ankle?"
"Oh, well, to be honest, I would've asked Fluttershy," Spike answered.
The three were left clueless. They've been teaching him just to get with Fluttershy?
"Really, Spike!?" Fluttershy blushes.
"Yeah, I mean, you cute and always nice to me," Spike said in a gentleman way.
"Spike, you're making me blush," Fluttershy said covering her face.
"Ah, we would've been all right if ya didn't picked us," Applejack said.
"Yeah, we would've dance with our other friends," Pinkie said.
"I'm glad to hear," Spike said. "Bye."
"Bye, Spike," Twilight and the others waved goodbye to him and Rarity.
"I guess we'll be leaving to," Rainbow Dash said.
She and Fluttershy waved goodbye to their last three friends.
"To think we've been over reacting to him," Applejack said.
"Does he still hate us for fighting over him?" Pinkie asked.
"I'm sure he wouldn't hate us," Twilight said. "After all, we teased him enough as it is."
"Wait, does he hate being tease?" Pinkie asked again.
"You and me did kiss him in the cafeteria on his first day," Applejack said.
"Is that why we were fighting?" Twilight said asked. "Including the fact that me and Spike are lab partners?"
"We were jealous over Spike," Pinkie said.
"Why were we jealous over Spike?" Applejack asked.
They thought this through and soon came too realized of why they were fighting in the first place. They were in love with Spike.
"We're not really-" Applejack said.
"But we're older than-" Pinkie said.
"And he's just-" Twilight said.
They all look at each other giving strange looks to one another.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" they all said at once.
Spike and Rarity was walking in town. They arrived at Rarity's house - aka the Carousel Boutique - and waved goodbye. Spike walks down to his neighborhood and looks down at the sidewalk sad. He stops and covers his eyes. tears were rolling down his face. He sobs under a street lamp post crying nonstop.
"I wish you could've been there for me," Spike cried as he smiled. "You've would've been so proud of me... Mom... Dad..."
