-Apple Bloom’s Point of View-
After the incident in the kitchen where Big Mac, AJ and Granny were laughing at me (for some weird reason.) I stormed out into my room
I cleaned my room up a bit, while I was waiting for Scootaloo and Sweetie-Bell to come over. I was a bit nervous because I’ve kept this secret from everyone accept Tootles and my closet… Tootles is my teddy bear that I’ve had since I was 3.
And he was one of the most important things I own.
“Hay AB!” Sweetie-Bell and Scootaloo exclaimed in unison. I turned around to see the two standing next to my closet! “Hi girls!” I started grinning. “So what is this mysterious secret you wanted us to know about so badly?” Scootaloo whispered raising an eyebrow quizzically.
I pointed my hoof at the bed, “lets talk on my bed” We jumped up on my bed, the two girls leaning against the wall and facing my closet and bedroom door.
Sweetie-Bell sat still while Scootaloo was fidgeting ever so slightly. “What’s up with you Scootaloo?” I said trying to stall from me having to confess. She glanced at the ceiling then back at me. “Well, Rainbow Dash has been spending aaaaaallllll of her time with some colt from the Wonderbolts, and when she does see me, all she does is stare into space and its annoying… But enough about me… What did you want to tell us?” Scootaloo said.
Sweetie-Belle rolled her eyes at Scootaloo and muttered something about rudeness then converted all of her focus on me.
I took a big breath and closed my eyes. “Well, for, like, um, ever, I’ve had this huge crush on Spike…” I was silent for a second, and begun talking again, my voice was cracking slightly but I knew I had to get through this.
“He’s just so-“ I was interrupted by the girls “Uh. AB-“ I covered their mouths with my hooves and continued. “ As I was saying, he’s so hard-working and I just… Fell” I removed my hooves and looked at the girls.
Their faces were blushing slightly and staring at my door. “H-Hi AJ” They muttered. My eyes widened as I turned slowly, hoping it wasn’t true.
Fudge-sticks. I forgot to close the door.
And there she stood, posing like she was the fudging Princess of Equestria.
-Spike’s Point of View-
After I had hide my book somewhere I thought no-pony would ever find it, I decided to go out for a walk. I started writing a note for Twilight, and just as I was about to leave, Twilight yelled for me from the study.
I sighed and slowly started walking to her study, when she called even louder “SPIIKKEE!” I ran into the study to see Twilight standing there levitating 5 envelopes. “I need you to go get these to the girls… Got that?” I simply nodded and grabbed the envelopes.
I ran outside of the castle and set out for the Sugar-Cube Conner first. I had a plan in my head.
Pinkie-Pie (because she’ll make me laugh until my sides hurt)
Fluttershy (just, cause)
Rarity
Rainbow Dash (To accept her apology)
Apple Jack (I might see Apple Bloom! And If I do… Best for last!!)
I walked into Sugar-Cube Corners, to see Pinkie Pie practically jumping off of the walls in excitement. I tapped her on the shoulder and she spun around, “Hiya Spike! What’s up?” She said with a huge grin on her face.
“Nothing much… How about you?”
Pinkie started fidgeting as if she wanted to start bouncing again. “Oh, I am just- uh really, happy about something…” Then she sort of blushed. I think. I couldn't see, because then and there she stared bouncing in place.
I decided I should let her do her thing as soon as possible. “Here Pinkie!” I said, handing her the envelope with her name scrawled on it. “It’s from Twilight.” She smiled at me and gave me a special sapphire muffin as I walked out the door. “Bye Spike!”
I took a big bite out of my muffin and grunted slightly as the taste of the sapphires combined with the vanilla cupcake and it entwisted to create the most delicious combination of a food in the dragon world.
It was almost as beautiful as Apple Bloom.

I looked away from AJ, not knowing what to expect. “Apple Bloom… I- I didn’t know you thought about Spike that way.” She said gently.
“We-Well I do.” I said trying to sound confident. My eyes were closed.
I heard a couple of hoof steps coming closer to my bead. “I, I know how it feels Apple Bloom…” AJ said, taking a big breath “I’ve felt like that about a pony before!” I opened my eyes. “Really?” I exclaimed. She just doesn’t seem like the pony that would go head over hooves for a pony… Or dragon in my case.
AJ laughed softly. “Every pony does around your age Apple Bloom!” She said with a soft grin.
“So- so you won’t tell!” I said with a bit of excitement in my voice. She nodded in reply and then looked down at the floor. “A-Apple Bloom… I’m sorry.”
I stared at her for a second wondering what she was about to say. “For this morning… Ya see I heard this rumor from some pony saying you had a crush on Spike. And I thought about you, and how you were such good friends with Spike that I thought it was ridiculous! And then that caused Big Mac, Granny and I to laugh… Then I found out it was true.” She looked up into my eyes. “I-I’m so sorry”
I smiled at AJ and nudged her shoulder softly with my hoof, “Awn, don’t worry ‘bout it!”
Then AJ left my room whistling a tune and I turned back to my friends. They were all tense, acting like statues. I blushed slightly feeling a bit awkward. “So. Uh. Now you know! He he…”
Sweetie-Belle said deadpanned “Oh, we already knew.” I was shocked at her response and looked at Scootaloo who nodded. “Wha-But… How?” Sweetie-Belle loosened up a bit and smiled at me. “We’ve seen the way you look at him! It’s hard not too!” She ended that with a wink and I gulped. “R-Really?”
Scootaloo sighed in boredom. Sweetie-Belle and I looked at Scootaloo and she stared back “What? I’m so bored!!” She jumped off of the bed. “Why don’t we go to the Clubhouse!” She said with a grin.
All I wanted to do was get out of here, and get some air. I grinned at Scootaloo, then at Sweetie-Belle and Sweetie-Bell charged out of my room. “Last person there is a rotten egg!” she screamed as her voiced faded.
And so it began.

I walked up to Fluttershy’s cottage praying to Celestia Discord wasn’t home. Pleasedon’tbehere! Pleasedon’tbehere! Pleasedon’tbehere!
Her door opened and The Lord of Chaos himself greeted me. I groaned in my mind. I just wanted to get out of here as soon as I could. Before Discord could begin talking, I handed him the white envelope, with Fluttershy’s name quickly scribbled onto it. And ran away. As soon as I was out of there I fell on my back and tried to catch my breath.
I got up after a while and began walking slowly towards The Boutique. I really didn’t want to go there because then I’d have to put up that ‘act’. UGH!!
I was about to knock on the door when I realized I could just slip the envelope through the crack at the bottom of the door. I hit my face with my hand. Why didn’t I think of that before?
I went to Rainbow’s house and looked around for her mailbox. She had one on the ground for just this purpose. Then I walked towards Sweet Apple Acres.
I knocked on the front door of the house to hear the sound of hooves hitting hard against the wood of the ground.
Suddenly the door swung open which caused me to topple backwards and then a pony fell on me. I groaned as I pushed the pony off gently. I rubbed my head and looked at the pony that had fallen on top of me.
“Oh-Uh sorry Scootaloo!” I ran to her helping her up. “Are you ok?” Then another pony fell on us. I groaned again as a third fell -yet again- on the pile again.
I squeezed my self out and saw three fillies moaning in pain on the ground.
I looked at Apple Bloom. And my heart flew.

I opened my eyes to see Spike looking right at me. And my heart sung.
