//------------------------------// // Chapter 11 All Good Things // Story: Loves Weird // by ILIKEBOOKS //------------------------------// Twilight Sparkle laid over a book, her face had a look of shame. "I can't believe it, out of all my books not one book had anything even slightly related to Spike's problem," she said to herself as she levitated the book onto a nearby bookshelf. She laid there defeated. All of last night she spent studying relationships and came out with nothing. She looked out a window, dawn had already past and it was well into the morning. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the Golden Oaks Library's stairs creaking. She saw her friend and sorta brother walk down the stairs. Spike eyes were focused on her. Spike stopped right in front of her. "Hi Spike," Twilight said in a slight monotone voice. "Spik I'm s..," but she was interrupted by Spike putting a claw to her lips. "Twilight, I'm the one who should apologize, I tried to force my problems on you and I shouldn't have," Spike said as looked into her lavender eyes. Twilight stood up, and wrapped him into an embrace. "Spike I'm sorry I should of helped you and admittedly you probably would've never had been in this situation if I taught you about dating beforehoof," Twilight kissed his forehead. "Can you forgive me?," "Of course I can, speaking of dating I have a date with Sweetiebelle today, and I was wondering if you can loan me some bits for the date? I promise I'll pay you back," Spike said as he let go of his best friend. Twilight looked down at him and pleasantly smiled. "Spike, you don't owe me anything, how about I give you some bits and a day off?" Twilight said. Spike eyes sparkled. "Really?," "Of course, but you have to tell me where the date is going to happen," "It's that one really nice restaurant in the middle of town, I already made reservations for it," Spike said. "Sounds really thought out, how did you come up with it?," Twilight asked Spike slightly blushed. "I was going to take Rarity there for our first date, but as you can tell that never happened... but who cares I'm with Sweetiebelle and I love her!," Spike said triumphantly. "What about Applebloom and Scootaloo?," Twilight asked. "I love them too, but today the only filly on my mind is Sweetiebelle!" Spike smilled. "Today is going to be the best day of Sweetiebelle's life!" Half an hour later Twilight was asleep on her bed and Spike walked down the stairs taking it slowly so he doesn't wake Twilight. Spike walked to the front door, "here we go," Spike took a deep breath and opened the door. He was greeted by a beautiful day. Spike walked along the gravel road, Spike knew exactly where to go. Spike walked through town and smiled to ponies he knew. Spike passed the Ponyville park and waved to the colts who were playing hoofball. Spike passed Bon Bon and Lyra whom were sitting on a bench (Lyra of course was sitting in her usual but weird way). Spike saw his destination, Ponyville market stalls. Spike walked until he saw the stall he wanted. Spike walked up to the mare. "Well hi Spike what do you need?," Roseluck asked Spike. "Hi Roseluck I need a rose but not just one I need a whole bouquet of roses, can you do that for me? Spike asked. "Of course I can," Roseluck grabbed some roses and rolled them into green wrapping paper. "So let me guess, you got another date?" She asked. Spike nodded, "Yep another date but this one is going to be special," he said as he grabbed the flowers off the table. Sweetiebelle sat on a stool in front of Rarity's vanity. Her sister was studying her features. "Maybe some light blue eyeshadow and maybe I could straighten her mane," Rarity said quietly to herself as she circled her sister. "Rarity do you mind telling me what you're thinking?" Sweetiebelle asked. Rarity didn't seem to hear her as she levitated multiple beauty products around the young filly. "This might hurt" Sweetiebelle thought to herself. Five uncomfortable minutes later "Ahh, there we go. That wasn't too bad now was it Sweetums?" Rarity asked. Sweetiebelle simply rolled her eyes and groaned as she climbed of the stool. "Come on now Sweetie it'll be worth it once Spike gets a eyeful of you," Rarity giggled. "Who would of thought that my little sister would be on a date already?" "I get it, I'm cute," Sweetie said as she admired her features in a mirror. Rarity put a small diamond encusted headband in Sweetiebelle's now straightened mane. Rarity glanced outside the window, the sun hanged low in the sky. "Well I say you're almost ready for the evening now all you got to do is not ruin you makeup," Rarity said. "I won't," "Great, now lets get you fitted for you dress!" Rarity said happily. "Ugh, fine," Spike tightened his tie around his neck, and adjusted his cuffs. "So, how do I look?" Spike asked. "You look like a regular Casanova," Twilight said as she circled him. "Did you brush your teeth? "Yep," "Shined your scales?" "Nice and shiny," "Great now I want you to be on your best behavior, okay?" Twilight asked. Spike rolled his eyes. "Come on Twi it's me what's the worst that could happen?" Spike said. "Just be good okay?," "Yeah okay," Spike walked downstairs to the front door. "See you later Twi," "Bye Spike, have a good time," Twilight said as Spike left the library. It was a quiet evening in Ponyville, Spike enjoyed the beautiful red and orange skies. He walked through town in a steady pace. "It's just me and her tonight there is nothing that can go wrong," "But there is" a voice in the back of Spike's head said. Spike shook off these thoughts as the Carousel Boutique came in to view. Spike knocked on the door. The door opened slowly. "Oh Spikey Wikey, you look so handsome Sweetiebelle is one lucky filly," Rarity nuzzled him. "I'll go get Sweetie wait right here," Rarity vanished from view. After a few seconds a fully dressed Sweetiebelle came out the door. "Hi Spike, you look great," Sweetiebelle said. Spike grabbed her hoof and kissed it. "You look, stunning," Spike said. "That means the world coming from you," Sweetie said blushing. Spike gave Sweetiebelle her flowers and Sweetiebelle stuck one in her mane. Spike held Sweetiebelle's left hoof with his right hand. "Ready to go?," "You know it, handsome,"
