Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were sitting on their thrones. Twilight began to speak. "Okay girls we all know why I called you here," Pinkie Pie raised her hoof. "Uhh yes Pinkie?"
"We came her to talk about how Spike and Coco will never tell each other their feelings and that'll make Coco go back to Manehattan which will make Spike bitter and resentful" Pinkie said with a smile. Twilight stared at her blank faced.
"I uh, how did you?"
"I know everything Twily!" Twilight glanced at the other mares.
"O-kay," she cleared her throat. "Well tomorrow is the day she returns to Manehattan and as we all know Spike and Coco like each other. We have to get them together after all he finally got over his stupid crush on Rarity."
"Hey!" Rarity said. She crossed her front legs and pouted "It wasn't that stupid"
"Ugh whatever, can we get on with it" Rainbow Dash said irritably.
"Rainbow Dash, we're doing this for a friend, I think Spike deserves to be happy," Fluttershy glared at Rainbow Dash.
"Anyway I was thinking we get the two of them alone together, you know somewhere romantic," Twilight pulled out a list. "There is multiple places where this date could take place."
"Like that one hill that overlooks the town," Rainbow Dash said.
"Or Ponyville Park" Fluttershy added. Twilight put her hoof to her chin.
"What do you think Rarity?" Twilight asked. "I mean you know Coco better than any of us."
"I don't know darling," Rarity put her hoof to her chin, "I got it!" She exclaimed.
"Alright tell us" Rainbow said.
"I was thinking we get them to believe we're having a picnic, we send out invitations to them. They'll believe all of us are going so when they arrive it'll be just them together with a romantic dinner just waiting for them" Rarity clopped her hooves together. "And Ponyville Park is the perfect place for the date."
"That sounds just wonderful" Fluttershy fluttered her wings.
"Great idea Rarity," Twilight pulled out a list and wrote something on it. She levitated the scroll to Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie this is a list of what we need," she turned to other mares. "Rainbow Dash I need you to clear the skies over Ponyville Park," Rainbow Dash saluted.
"Consider it done."
"Fluttershy, your job is to make sure that no animals spoil their date," Fluttershy nodded.
"We don't have alot of time before they wake up, so let's get going!" The mares all nodded and went their separate ways.
Spike was laying down in his bed fast asleep. His door opened slowly with a quiet squeak. Coco walked in and made her way to Spike's bed. He's so handsome Coco put her hoof on his hand "I love you Spike," she said quietly into his ear. Spike smiled which made her face as red as a ruby.
She hugged his body softly but unfortunately she and Spike still had to get up to work. Hesitantly she lightly shook him.
Spike opened his eyes and saw Coco. "Good morning Coco," Spike stretched his arms. "Wow Coco you look, beautiful" Coco blushed.
"You're looking pretty handsome today too Spike."
"You're lying I must look a mess" he ruffled the spines in his head. "So today's our last day of work right?" Spike asked.
"Yes, I think it is"
"Well we don't want to keep Rarity waiting," Spike hopped out of the bed.
"One more day," Coco said to herself as Spike went into his bathroom. "I have to tell him today."
Twilight sat on her throne overlooking the plans she and her friends prepared. "This has to work" her ears twitched when she heard the clopping of horseshoes against crystal. "Okay, let's hope I'm a good actor" she used her magic to levitate Pinkie's "fake" picnic invitations onto her lap.
"Good morning Spike, good morning Coco," Twilight said pleasantly.
"Good morning Twilight what's up?" Spike asked as he stopped in front of her throne.
"Oh, Pinkie wanted me to give you this," She levitated both invitations into Spike's hand. Spike grasped them and opened the invitations.
"Pinkies having a picnic?" Spike asked as his eyes scanned the paper. Twilight nodded.
"Rarity also wanted me to tell you last night she finished the remaining dresses," Twilight felt sweat form on her brow.
"Oh, really?" Spike asked.
"Yep, you two get the day off, so go ahead and enjoy it" Twilight smiled.
"Well okay then," Spike turned towards Coco, "What do you want to do?" he asked as he put the papers somewhere. (No seriously I demand to know where they hold items at in My Little Pony. It's driving me crazy!)
"Would you like to walk outside with me?" Coco asked.
"Sure, we need to relax anyways," he said before walking out the room with Coco to his side. Twilight watched them as they walked.
"This will work, it has to"
Spike took a deep breath and let it out. He stretched his arms as they walked away from the castle. It was a nice day out, sun shining, not a cloud in sight. Your usual day in Ponyville. Flowers covered the grass ( at least the storm did something good) birds chirped, squirrels scurred across tree branches. Coco smiled and put her head on his shoulder. Spike grinned and put his arm around her.
"Spike?" Coco began.
"Yes, Coco?"
"I just wanted to say that I enjoyed my time with you," her face felt hot. "To be honest you were the best part if my trip here." Spike grinned.
Coco I enjoyed our time together, I've never met anypony like you before,"
"Thank you Spike,"
"It's my pleasure," he chuckled. "This has been some week huh?"
"It sure has."
"Okay I think this'll work," Rainbow Dash said as she kicked the last cloud. "How's your end Rarity!" She yelled.
"Just fine," she placed some roses in a vase. "This will be just perfect" Rarity unfolded the blanket and laid it on the ground. "Oh I can't wait to see how happy they'll be together," she giggled. "They'll be so cute."
Rainbow Dash flew down and landed on the ground. "Looking pretty good Rarity."
"Thank you Rainbow," she placed the basket on the ground. "I can't wait!"
Spike and Coco sat down on the grass. Coco stared at the blooming flowers that grew on the tree's branches. "Beautiful," she said to herself.
"It sure is" Spike said. "Coco can I tell you something?"
"Of course"
"I want you to know... That I-I uh," he closed his eyes. "I think I l-lo," he bit his tongue.
"You what?" Coco asked. Spike scatched the back of his head.
"Umm, I think I well nevermind," Coco shook her head.
"Spike," she put a hoof on his hand and stared into his eyes. She leaned in and pushed her lips against his. His eyes widened. She pulled back. "I love you too," she kissed his cheek.
"You, lo-love me?" Spike asked. Coco nodded. He smiled.
"Spike, would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Yes, of course," he jumped. "I have a date!" he yelled happily. Coco giggled.
"Let's get to that picnic we don't want to keep them waiting" Coco said. Spike picked her up.
"We got a lot to tell them"
