Spike was at Sugarcube Corner as he couldn’t believe he yelled at Twilight like that. He didn't mean to yell at her, yet she was saying horrible things about the Mare. Was he justifed in defending her? Was Spike wrong? Was this Mare good or evil? Twilight told him that the Mare was trying to comfort him, yet her actions were more than just friendly.
What am i going to do? He thought as he rubbed his face with his claws.
“What’s up everypony, Vinyl Scratch in the house,” The white unicorn with blue streaks opened the doors of Sugarcube Corner. Her infamous sunglasses faced the row of cupcakes.
She walked up to the counter and knew what kind of cupcakes she wanted. She stood forward while looking at Mr. Cake, “Can I get six cupcakes, arrange them in any color. Regular yellowish if you can.”
“I guess this is for you and Octavia?” Mr. Cake smiled.
“Yep, she wants me to save her some just in case another date doesn’t work out and she will need something to pig out on.” Vinyl grumbled. Knowing how all her dates ended, Vinyl expected the date to end horribly.
“It will take a few minutes, if you don't mind waiting.” Mr. Cake smiled before adding, “Today, when ordering the six cupcake combo, we offer the seventh one for free.”
“Ah, you don’t have to do that, but when you say free, how can i say no?” Vinyl cheered and put her bits down to pay for the cupcakes
“Be right out with your cupcakes,” Mr. Cake nodded before rushing out into the kitchen.
“Alright” Vinyl smiled as she sat down. She wasn’t sure what to do as she merely looking around and saw many adoring fans that wanted to get her autograph. A famous DJ in Ponyville, it was quite rare. Vinyl tried to sign as many as she could. She wanted to at least have one cupcake. Many of the fans tried to give her their cupcakes, but Vinyl didn't want to take it.
After her intense signing, Vinyl saw that it was taking too long for six cupcakes to be made. “What is taking so long?”
“In Ponyville, the cupcakes might take long to make, but they’re worth the wait.” Spike said as he slid a cupcake down in front of the DJ pony. Vinyl looked at him seeing a dragon in Ponyville. She never knew any dragons that were this kind. Yet, he looked like a baby dragon, so she understood him. “Thanks,”
Vinyl took the cupcake in her mouth and ate it. Her eyes widen and a big grin smeared the face of the DJ pony, “My goodness this cupcake is so delicious.”
“I told you they were good,” Spike smiled before adding, “Spike the dragon by the way.”
The unicorn saw he offered his claw with a smile. She extended her hoof to meet the greeting, “Vinyl Scratch, but most people call me Vinyl.”
The two greeted one another with stories of what has happened to them in their lives. Spike talked about his recent troubles with love while Vinyl told him she was new in town and was living with her best friend Octavia Melody.
“Wow, I guess that’s interesting.” Spike said upon hearing about Octavia’s career.
“Yea, the Canterlot Orchestria kicked her out after the catastrophe that happened at the Great Galloping Gala. So, we are living in Ponyville until we are able to push our careers forward.” Vinyl smiled, “I already have, but I am helping Tavia out on finding her a new Orchestra. She’s uptight, but once you get to know her she’s not that bad.”
“Yea, well I am not sure who this mysterious mare is? I mean I think it’s somepony I know, but I can’t really know who she is.” Spike looked down. He really wanted to meet her and talk with her.
“Well, this mare obviously likes you more than a friend. I think the best way for you to decide on your feelings is if you spend some time with her.” Vinyl looks at Spike offering her hoof on the situation
“I guess you do have a point there, but how? I mean, the one thing she does is fight crime. I am not even sure she likes a good party.” Spike brushed some dust off the table.
“Well why don’t you and this mystery mare come to this location for a party with some ponies?” Vinyl pulled out a paper showing Spike a party that is taking place tonight.
Spike read the paper

Spike smiled seeing that it would be a great chance to dance with the Mare, if she ever showed herself. He looked up seeing Vinyl was gone and Mr. Cake waved bye. Spike smiled as he sprang into action as he runs over to the library to find a suit to wear. He wanted to go to the location and have a good time. He hoped the Mare would show herself.
Unknown to Spike, the Mare was watching him. In his excitment, Spike had dropped the note. The Mare walked over to see the invitation to the party. “How interesting.”
"Twilight,” Spike slowly entered the library as he wasn't sure if Twilight was currently present in the home. He knew that Twilight would just yell at him if she was there.
He noticed how quiet it was and kept walking forward not sensing anypony in the library. Pinkie would have surprised him by now, which was his usual cue to walk in more casually.
Upstairs he walked to the room to find something to where when he noticed the black paper that had the information on the party. He then noticed a note that was folded like a scroll. He pulls down the scroll slowly seeing the top was stuck to the wall with a nail. Spike could tell the note was from his admirer.
Dear Spike,
This party sounds really amazing and I would love to go with you. I would like to think of this as a date. I mean…if you don’t think of it as a date I would also say we can just go to this as friends….I mean if you consider me a friend of course.
Spike noticed that the letter was written as if she was talking to him.
Look, I want to go with you and I really do feel like one day I wish for you to be my special somedragon. I will offer you this deal. If you show up to this party, then I will show up without my costume on. It will be just me in a dress, and I will dance with you. I can’t however tell you when I am dancing with you. I hope to have some fun with you at this party.
Love, your mysterious mare and secret admirer
Spike smiled and goes to pick out a suit. He noticed that he hasn’t been thinking of Rarity throughout the week. He smiled as he was glad things were looking up for him. He noticed a hoof mark at the bottom of his letter. He wonders where it came from, but ignores it.
Twilight pranced causally as she was heading over to the club where the party was taking place. She had seen the note that the Mare had left for Spike. Twilight felt extremely frustrated that Spike was going to date with some random Mare that hid in the shadows. Twilight knew she was on her own for this one. The Mare might have fooled her friends, but Twilight wasn't going to be easily convinced.
"I am not going to let you hurt Spike. He has been through enough. He doesn't need another mare lying to him about how you supposedly care about him, but in reality, you don't care about him at all."
Twilight marched her way into the club to wait for Spike and the Mare.
The mysterious mare noticed Twilight walking forward and thought.
Shoot, Twilight is at the club. If she discovers who I am, my evening with Spike will be ruined. It’s time to go to plan B. She told herself as she got to work on how she will have her perfect evening with the dragon.
