//------------------------------// // Chapter 15 Truth // Story: Loves Weird // by ILIKEBOOKS //------------------------------// Four mares and a dragon were sitting in The Golden Oaks Library. "There must be something in your head Twi?," Rainbow Dash asked as she circled around in the air. "I don't know how we can break it to them without hurting them," Twilight pulled some books out from the shelves. "This us all my fault, I should of ended it then and there," Spike sat on the ground. "I always make horrible mistakes," "Spikey it's not your fault if anything it's all our faults we barely paid attention to the obvious," Rarity nuzzled him, "You did what you thought was right we can't blame you for that," "You can blame me for being a dense fool!, why didn't I just reject them?, all this heartache will be on me," "Ah don't know anything like that, but listen Spike you're our friend, you've helped us, when nopony could, you saved my life," she gave him a hug. "You saved the Equestrian Games," Rainbow Dash said. She reluctantly hugged him. "Whenever I was out of line you brought me back to reality," Twilight joined as well. "You saved the Crystal Empire," Rarity joined in. "Spike you've done a lot for us," "You were honest to Rarity when she was under control," Applejack said. "You stayed loyal to us even when we faced our toughest foes," Rainbow Dash said. "You were generous to me on your own birthday," Rarity said. "Spike we all love you, this problem may seem big now but we'll probably laugh about it when it's all said and done," Twilight kissed his cheek. "Spike you may not be my biological brother but you're closer to me than anypony else," "Thank you, all of you, I never knew you thought of me this way," Spike pondered his situation. "I think I know of a way for me to tell them the truth," Spike said. "What do you need?," Twilight asked. "I'll need quills, and parchment," He turned towards Applejack and Rarity. "Do you two know your little sister's hoofwriting?," "I know it like a rattlesnake knows a hole," Applejack said. "I could improvise, why?," Rarity asked. Spike walked up to them and whispered something in their ears. They nodded along. "That plan is brilliant, Spikey!," Rarity clopped her hooves together. "I'd reckon that'll do the trick," Applejack said. "Great you two know what you got to do?," Spike asked. They nodded. "Great let's get this done!," Later Applejack was walking up her stairs slowly she didn't want Apple Bloom to know she was there. Appejack slipped the note under the crack of the door and backed away. Apple Bloom saw a note come out from under the door, she grabbed it, "For Apple Bloom please read?," she read the envelope and walked to her bed. She sat on the bed and ripped open the envelope, she unfolded the parchment. Dear Apple Bloom, I know we haven't seen each other in a while, but I want you to know I miss you very much. I was wondering if you want to go crusading with me and Scootaloo again? If you do please come to the treehouse at three o'clock today. Sincerely, Sweetiebelle "Sweetiebelle wants to go crusading again?, this is great I can't wait to tell her about me and Spike!," Apple Bloom giggled, "I get to see my friends again!," Rainbow Dash was flying over Ponyville at high speed, she stopped at Scootaloo's house and dropped to note on the ground and flew back to the sky, she used clouds to cover herself. She watched as Scootaloo tore open the note and read it. Afterwards she seemed excited. She went back inside for a moment and came back out with her scooter and her blue helmet on. She buzzed her wings and took off at the direction of the farm. "There she goes now it's Spike's turn to set things right," she flew off as quickly as she could. Rarity walked up to Sweetiebelle's room and stopped at the door, "Here we go," she knocked on the door, "Sweetiebelle?," "Yes Rarity?," a voice spoke from the other side of the door. "I have a letter for you but I don't know who it's from," Rarity said. "A letter?, one sec sis," Sweetiebelle opened the door and Rarity gave the note to her. Sweetiebelle opened the letter and read it's contents, a smile grew on her face. "Rarity can I go to the farm?," "Why sweetums?," Rarity did her best acting she could. "Well Apple Bloom asked that I go crusading!, this is great!," she started walking down the staircase, bye Rarity, see you later!," Rarity waved her goodbye "Good luck Sweetiebelle... Your going to need it," Apple Bloom was walkng through Sweet Apple Acres on her way to her club house. She was happily humming to herself. "This is going to be great, all day with my best friends," she pulled the stairs to the club house down and entered. "I hope they ain't mad at me for not being here, I guess I got carried away with Spike," She heard hoof beats against wood and she smiled. "Hi Scootaloo!," she ran up and hugged her friend. "It's good to see you Apple Bloom," Scootaloo broke the hug, "I have so much to tell you," "Wait for me first ," Sweetiebelle said as she entered the club house. They all hugged and giggled. "It's so nice to see you all again," "Ah know ah been so busy lately but ya won't believe what ah have to tell ya!," Apple Bloom said excitedly. "I got something to say too!," Scootaloo said. "Well let's all say it together," Sweetiebelle suggested. They all agreed. "One," "Two," "Three!,' "I'm dating Spike!," they all said at the same time, "Wait what?," they said. "You can't be dating Spike, I'm dating Spike!," Scootaloo said. They got in each others faces. "No I am!," "We can't all be dating him at the same time!," Apple Bloom said. "So which one of us is dating Spike?," "You all are," Spike interrupted. They all looked towards him confusion plastered on their faces. "But that's not," Scootaloo trailed off. "How can all of us be dating you there must be mistake," Sweetiebelle said. "There's no mistake, I love all of you, but I can't be with all three of you, so I'm sorry," "Sorry for what?," Applebloom asked. "Don't you get it I cheated on you, all of you," Spike closed his eyes. "I couldn't let any of you down, so I just started dating all three of you," "But Spike, we..," Scootaloo said. "Just because I dated all of you to spare your feelings doesn't mean my feelings were false," Spike started tearing up. "You know what this means right?," "You have to choose," Sweetiebelle said. She was crying a little. "Does that mean?," "Only one of us," Scootaloo said. Spike clenched his fists. "I'm sorry, I didn't want it to happen like this," He walked and kissed one of the fillies on the lips, "It's been you the entire time,"
