Spike and Scootaloo stop in front of the library/castle laughing joyously. They took a trip around the whole town on the wagon and scooter. Scootaloo even went on a few improvised jumps, which frightened Spike slightly at first, thinking he would fly off, but soon came to enjoy them just as much as her.
Spike lets go of Scootaloo and hops out the wagon with a large smile. "Now that was awesome. I didn't know you were that good on the scooter." He says as he looks at her.
Scootaloo smirks as she hops off her scooter as well and slides the goggles up her face. "Pfft. I'm even better than that when I'm by myself. I was holding back cause I had cargo."
"Well, maybe next time I can just watch you as you go all out sometime." Spike offers with a sincere smile.
Scootaloo blushes slightly and turns away. "S-Sure, if ya want. Maybe tomorrow at the park?"
Spike nods. "Sounds like a plan. See ya tomorrow Scoots."
He then turns and begins to walk away.
"Hey, Spike?"
"Yea-" Spike starts to say before he feels something soft press on his cheek. He looks to see Scootaloo as she pulls away.
"Thanks, for hanging out with me and stuff." She says before she puts on her goggles, hops on the scooter, and speeds off before he could utter a word.
Spike stands there for a moment as he rubs his cheek lightly. He smiles. "Well, today wasn't a complete bust."
He then turns and heads towards the castle. He notices there are a few lights on and knows that Twilight is probably up waiting for him. He opens the doors and speaks up.
"Twi! I'm home." He says as he closes the door behind him.
"Spike? Can you come into the library? There's somepony here to see you."
Spike grows curious at that. Huh? I wonder who it is. Spike thought as he walked over towards the library, however, he pauses in surprise as he sees a familiar filly with glasses sitting on the couch.
"Um...hi." Silver Spoon says sheepishly as she waves at him.
Spike's happy attitude vanishes as he sees one of the mares that made his night go bad in the first place. He glares at her. "What are you doing here?" He says angrily.
Silver hesitates and looks over to the princess. "Can I speak to him in private princess?" She asks with nervousness present.
Twilight looks at her assistant, whom merely nods after a moment. "Alright. I'll be in our room if you need me Spike." She says before she walks past him and out the door.
Once she leaves, Spike folds his claws across his chest. "Well?"
Silver sighs and looks down. "I wanted to apologize for what we did back there. It wasn't right of us to use you like we did and I'm sorry for that."
Spike's frown lessens at that but he was still mad. "Well, at least you had the sense to apologize for it. What about Diamond? Why isn't she here?"
Silver paws the ground slightly. "W-Well, she isn't as sorry as I am, so I decided to apologize for her.."
Spike rolls his eyes. "Whatever."
Silver walks up to him. "For what it's worth, I did have a good time with you, honest. You're a nice guy and that's what made me feel even worse about it."
Spike sighs and lets his arms hang. "I did sorta have a good time too at first... It just sucks that in the end I was being used again.."
"Im really sorry." Silver repeats sadly.
Spike waves a claw at her. "It's fine, I forgive you."
Silver smiles at that. She then walks forward and nuzzles him, catching him by surprise. "Thanks for the fun night Spike."
Spike merely looks at her as she trots past him and out the door. Once he hears the castle doors close, He sighs once more before he speaks up.
"You can come out now Twi. I know you were listening."
As expected, Twilight comes back in with a sheepish smile. "Sorry, I was just so curious."
Spike chuckles. "Heh, I know. I'm guessing you want to know the whole story?"
Twilight nods once. "If you want to tell it. From what I heard, it doesn't seem too pleasant to recall."
Spike nods and begins to tell her how his day was: about him finding out he had two dates, the dance, and finding out what they did. To say Twilight was annoyed about it would be an understatement.
"I can't believe they did that to you! I have half a mind to go tell off that filly and her friend right now." Twilight says angrily.
Spike sighs. "No need to do that. It's fine Twilight. Although I don't plan to hang out with them anytime soon."
Twilight nods in understanding. "Completely reasonable." Twilight pauses as she realizes something. "Wait, well then where were you this whole time since you left? You must have been doing something to make it here after her."
Spike smiles at that. "Well, after I left, I saw Scootaloo outside and we hung out for a bit."
"Wait, Scootaloo? Why was she outside?"
Spike merely proceeds to tell her about the incident between Scootaloo and her ex-coltfriend as they walked to their room.
"So, we then decided to ditch the dance and hang out for a bit. We went to her treehouse, and she got her scooter. After that we rode around town for a bit."
Twilight smiles. "Sounds fun."
Spike nods happily. "It was. You should have seen how talented she was. I'm going to see her go all out tomorrow at the park, that is, if it's okay with you. Don't want to cancel any plans we have that I'm not remembering."
Twilight rolls her eyes playfully. "Well, we did plan to go on a picnic with Applejack, but you don't have to go."
Spike's eyes grew wide. "That's tomorrow? I totally forgot! I can cancel if you want!" Spike says hurriedly.
Twilight waves a hoof at him. "It's fine Spike. It was mostly so I can talk to Applejack since we haven't had time to see each other in a while. Go have fun with Scootaloo."
Spike pauses. "Are you sure? I can always reschedule it for some other time."
Twilight nuzzles him gently. "I'm sure Spike. Now are you ready for bed? I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted from waiting up on you to come home all night." She says as she walks ahead and into their room.
"You waited up for me? You didn't have to you know?" Spike says as he walks in as well and sees her climb into bed.
"I know, but seeing how you've been lately, I was rather anxious to hear how everything went, plus a little worried since it was your first school dance." Twilight replies as she gets comfortable.
Spike scoffs but smiles after. He walks toward his own bed and climbs in. "Always the worrywart. But, thanks for listening Twi."
"You're welcome Spike. Now get some sleep. Don't want to oversleep and miss your date."
Spike rolls his eyes at that but doesn't reply as he settles in his bed and let's out a deep sigh.
"Night Twilight."
"Good night Spike."
