It was the one with the books that Twilight used to book. He was reading a book on pottery. Twilight came in with a purple dress that blend into her coat hair. She twirled and Spike looked at her. "Do you like it......?" she said. "I think it's a beautiful shirt but it's the same color as your skin. Try a good hue of green and yellow to contrast it," Spike smiled. The girl's smile faded. "Oh..." "What? Is it?" Spike said. "It's like you don't like my styles..... This dress was from Rarity and she spent a fortune on it for me. You shouldn't be so rude, Spike. You know better. Actually, no. What do you do even know? You don't. Because you're a kid. Why do I try? Why do I try to love you? All you had done is reject my. You were my only love. I can't feel you anymore. You are disconnected from me... for her." "What do you mean?" "Apple Jacks. You said she was beautiful the other day...... I just feel like we're falling apart. What we had, you know it, eh?" "NO," Spike slammed. "What? What can you even say to apologise to me now. You knew how upset I was after it and you still hung around her to hang out and you stayed for dinner and stole her shoes. I found them under my bed. Why Spike? Why do you need it? That isn't safe. You can't change, can you...?" "I don't love her. You can't say that. I loved her for her, but I love you for you and you alone. You are my caretaker and like my mother but not.... You are my one and only lobe, Twilight Spankle." He ran to her and kissed her and she sobbed. He really did love her but she was insecure. But it was okay now that she knew his love.
