Spike was in complete shock as Rarity kissed him. Though it wasn’t long kiss, just simple peck. It still caught him off guard. “Rarity?”
“I sorry, for being so blind dear, I should of realize sooner that there is only one other who just generous as me,” said Rarity, as she took of the cloak off, “And might I say darling, this is lovely dress that you made for me,”
“Well I was just trying to be a good Secret Santa, I gave everypony a good present, something that, that pony would want the most,” said Spike,
“Yes, darling, but--” said Rarity as she wrapped her hoof around his shoulder,
“But what?” said Spike, as he started to blush massively from her closeness to him,
“I didn’t get what I wanted most,” said Rarity as she grabbed his claw with her other hoof,
“And that is?” said Spike,
“To have a dance with a true gentle--” Rarity lean close and whisper into his ear, “dragon,”
“What--” said Spike, as she pulled him away from the map, so they could dance properly.
The two danced across danced all across the room. At first she was leading, but then he started lead, as she lean her face into his chest. Rarity could hear Spike heart beating faster, as her's was doing the same. Rarity and Spike were enjoying every minute of it, as they danced.

Back at the Party everypony was having a great time as the music started to play. Everypony was on the Dance floor, except for Rarity and Spike. And yet everypony had found a dancing partner. Applejack was dancing Caramel, Rainbow Dash was flying through the sky line with Soarin. Big Mac and Cheerilee were enjoying their first dance after their engagement hours ago. Even Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich had put their party cannons away long enough to dance.
Everypony was enjoying themselves. Everypony except for Twilight as Flash was still gone. She knew he would be back for Heartwarming Day. But still she was there alone while everypony else was enjoyed dancing with a close friend or a loving spouse.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Knock, knock--
“Oh, no, it’s the Master!” said Doctor Whooves, as he jumped in front of Derby, with his screwdriver out.
“Will you put that away?" said Derby, as she held her hoof in front of him. “You’re making the other guest stare,” and indeed she was right, there was some of the other guest staring.
Meanwhile Twilight went answered the door. “It’s probably just a late guest,” said Twilight, as she opened the door, only to be shocked by who was there. “FF… Flash, you’re here!” she instantly wrapped her hooves around her husband.
“I will take that you missed me,” said Flash,
“Yes,” said Twilight, as she pulled him into a kiss.
“Alright I missed both of you as well,” said Flash,
“Oh yeah, I received the proper result today and our foal is going to be a filly,” said Twilight, as she let go of him, “How did you get here, I thought all the trains had left already and that you wouldn’t get back in time until tomorrow,”
“Actually I received a letter containing an early ticket from a ‘Secret Santa’,” said Flash,
“A letter? Let me see that letter,” said Twilight. He gave her the letter. She looked through it. “That sneaky dragon,” said Twilight, as she read the writing.

Back in the map room where Spike and Rarity were dancing. Rarity began to look back on other things about Spike that she may have been blind to. Realizing with each passing moment, that this whole time she had been waiting for the perfect stallion, her ‘Shining Knight’ when her perfect ‘Shining Knight’ was right in front her. Wrapped in scale armor, Spike was the one she had been waiting for. He was generous, loyal, strong, and had a good sense of fashion.
“Spike, I want to do something,” said Rarity, as she lifted her head.
“What?” said Spike, as they stopped dancing.
Rarity place her hooves on his face. Then she lean in as she pulled him closer to her. Their mouth met once again but this it was not a simple peck like last time. This one was longer, as she realized something more in that moment. Her feeling for Spike that developed over the years was not simply a liking for Spike, or a passing fancy. It was love, true love.
As they separated, “Rarity? That was incredible,” said Spike,
“Now I know I’m in love with you, Spike,” said Rarity, as she laid her head of his shoulder, and place her hooves around his shoulders.
“What did you say?” said Spike, “This isn’t because I gave this dress because I only did that to be generous,”
“Spikey, do not dare assume this is because of the dress, darling; although it is lovely and I will be asking about how you got so good at making dresses later, dear; But for now I want hear you say it,” said Rarity, as she lifted her head.
“Say what?” said Spike,
“The words that you have want to say since day you first met me,” said Rarity, as she lean her head closer again.
“I love you, Rarity,”
“And I love you Spike,"
This time Spike pulled Rarity for another kiss. Rarity was pushing more even more, as Spike did the same. This kiss was more passionate, and last even longer. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours.
Meanwhile Sweetie Belle walked by the map room and noticed Spike and Rarity kissing. Behind them on the map was the mistletoe. “Hmm,” said Sweetie Belle, as an idea popped in her head. Then while the two were still kissing she used her magic to pull the mistletoe to her. Once it was with her, she giggle and looked back at them. “You enjoy yourself, Rarity, while I go enjoy myself,” Sweetie Belle whispered, as she walked away. “Oh Button Mash, could you come over here,”

“Spikey,”
“Yes, Rarity,”
“This is a lovely Tradition, let’s do it every year,”
“What? the Secret Santa Tradition, or the Mistletoe Tradition,”
“Both,”
******
Indeed this Heartwarming was going to be great. Everypony and dragon in Ponyville got exactly what they wanted from their Secret Santa. And every year from then on was that much better, especially now that there were two Secret Santas, Spike and Rarity.
