//------------------------------// // You Got It. (45 mins) // Story: Thirty Minute Sparity Prompts: from SparityLoveisForever // by SparityLoveisForever //------------------------------// Spike had grown considerably since turning eighteen. He was now taller than most ponies and had strength in his arms that would out class even Big Macintosh pound per pound. He had teeth that were sharp enough to cut diamonds and his claws which could easily rend pony flesh didn't help his monstrous appearance. Lately around Ponyville there had been less talk of acceptance of the dragon, and more talk of he should return to his own kind. Twilight Sparkle was usually the one to silence these neighsayers, though any of her friends would defend Spike since they knew he was still the harmless kid they remembered. Spike however was starting to think, 'Maybe Ponyville would be better off without me. With all the dragon prejudice lately.' Today he was looking especially down, and that's when Pinkie Pie came up to him exclaiming, “Hey, Spike! Did you want an invitation to Rarity's birthday party? If not maybe I can make you a sapphire cupcake to pick you up?” “Thanks, Pinkie, I'd like both. Though I think that makes me a little greedy. Pinkie, do you remember that thing I asked you not to tell Rarity?” Spike looked down at his claws his tail absentmindedly drawing images of Rarity in the dirt. “Of course, Spike, your crush on her. Right?” Pinkie whispered as she looked back into his eyes expectantly. “Can I get a favor from you then, Pinkie.” Spike whispered what the favor was into her ear so that no one else could hear. “Alright, Spike, See you this weekend then.” With that she bounded away to very musical pony's door. ~~~~~~~~~~Later At Rarity's Birthday Party.~~~~~~~~~~ At the party that weekend almost everypony in town had shown up. Pinkie had invited everyone Rarity had said to invite. There were a majority of stallions there but there were also quite a few mares. Spike arrived and was let in after showing his invitation and Twilight twice to the bouncer. He looked around at the room of stallions and mares. It was quite a full house in Carousel Boutique. He had made his way past several of the ponies there. He was looking for the beautiful white mare of his dreams and her likely to be worn elegant dress. Spike was wearing white button down shirt and bright red bow with several gems still adorning it. He was also wearing a black jacket. 'Rarity always said she liked a snappy dresser. I don't understand what she every saw in Thunderlane,' Spike thought. Rarity was standing over near the punch table all alone. She always had seemed to have the worst trouble with stallions at her birthday. Just then there was tap on Spikes shoulder from Pinkie and he headed towards the stage. The music started slow as the record spun. Spike began tapping his feet at the beat on center stage. Everypony turned their eyes to the center stage, as Spike started to sing to the record he turned his eyes directly to Rarity and away from any other mare. “Everytime I look into your loving sapphire eyes I see a love that bits just can't buy...” Spike sang out the words in a dulcet tone that would bring almost any mare to her knees. He continued to watch her eyes and continued singing from his heart. “One look from you I drift away. I pray that you are here to stay...” Spike started the chorus with Rarity watching intently. She took a few steps towards the stage the music almost hypnotic. She could feel something coming from Spike. It was something she had felt from him before, but now it felt so much stronger. Rarity couldn’t deny that this was the way things should maybe be as she heard him singing with all his heart. Spike continued to sing out, “Everytime I hold you I begin to understand. Everything about you tells me I'm your Dragon. I live my life to be with you. No one can do the things you do.” Spike continued on with another chorus and his eyes looked full of love. Never once leaving her body. Her beautiful dress really accentuated her dark mane and tail, those lovely sapphire orbs with gentle hint of eyeshadow, from hoof to head she was perfect as always. He slowly took the mic from the stand heading towards her. He only reached out one hand to hold her hoof while the mic was in the other and the pair slowly circled. Spike finished the song with, “Anything at all you got it, Baaaby.” The music died down and he looked into her eyes and said, “Rarity, would you do me the honor of being my special somepony?” The whole crowd looked shocked and appalled a bit other than five other mares who knew this had been a long time coming. Spike stood there kneeling before Rarity as he waited to hear her response. His whole body quivering to see what would become of his time in Ponyville. Would she say no and cause him to pack up and leave, or would She fill his heart with the emotion he had enjoyed since that first day he came to Ponyville? Rarity approached Spike slowly and put her hoof on his shoulder a little water in her eyes as she spoke, “Spike, I would be very lucky to have you as my special somedragon. You always go out of your way for me, and honestly I haven't always returned that to the best of my ability. So yes, as long as you'll always be my Spikey wikie.” Spike nodded and put his arms around her pulling her into a hug. He looked down at her as she also put her hooves around his neck. Spike then moved her muzzle to his kissing her very deeply and passionately.
