Chapter 1
Twilight was sitting on the couch, reading a book called The Brief History Of Light Magic. As she red away, her number one assistant was cleaning the library and reorganizing books that Twilight left out.
"Isn't it nice to have a quiet day in the library. No monsters trying to destroy Ponyvill, no emergencies from the princess-.", said Twilight.
"Your right, it is boring.", said Spike.
"Aw come on Spike, Don't you enjoy just staying inside and relaxing."
"I guess, but I miss the adventures we would have every other week. I just wish something would happen." just then, Spike tripped on the latter he was on at knocked the bookshelf down, causing all the books to come falling down.
"SPIKE.", said Twilight in a agitated voice.
"What.", said Spike. Just then, he grabbed his mouth and let out a large, fire Burp. From his fire came a scroll and it landed right in front of Twilight.
"It's a letter from Princess Celestia-." , Twilight said as she used her magic to open the scroll. "-Dear Twilight, I am sorry to interrupt you on this beautiful day, but I have urgent news. Something as come up in the griffin homeland and I need your expertise to help me with the negotiations. Only Spike and you are to know of this trip. Tell nopony else what this mission is about, and do not bring the elements of harmony in to this. Pack for no more then a weeks trip and take a train to Canterlot as soon as you can. sincerely, Princess Celestia. This sounds important. I need to leave right now, SPIKE."
"Way ahead of you Twilight." , said spike as he came down the stares with a suitcase.
"Now Spike, I'll be gone for a week, so watch over the library while I'm gone, okay."
"No problem Twilight.", said Spike to Twilight as she left the library. Spike turned around to see the mess he made and his smile quickly disappeared. "I guess I should clean that up first." , he said to himself as he got to work cleaning up the pile of books.
About two hours had passed since Twilight left. Spike was about half way through the pile of books before he herd a knock on the door. "Just a second.", Yelled Spike as he put the last of the books in his hands away. Spike opened the door to see a familiar rainbow main'd pegasus.
"Hay Rainbow, whats up".
"Not much Spike.", Rainbow said as she looked around the library. "Were's Twilight, she's not still mad at me for making it rain on her that one time is she."
"I don't think so. Actually, she had to leave on an important mission from Princess Celestia. Anyway, how can I help you."
"I heard the new Daring Do was out."
"I'll go get that, in the meantime, go head and make yourself comfortable." Spike walked off towards a self filled with all the Daring Do books. He used his finger to browse them until he found the book he was looking for. He pulled it out to revile the title of the book was "Daring Do And The Ruby Dragon" with a picture of Daring Do and a small, purple dragon fighting an all gold dragon. "Here it is.", said Spike as he handed the book to Rainbow.
"Thanks little guy. You don't mind if I read it here do you."
"Na, it'l be nice to have some company." Spike walked back over to the pile and continued to put the books back on the selves. as he was putting away the books, he looked over to Rainbow laying down on the couch. He just stared at her figure as she continued to read the book. he let out a small sigh of content as he looked at her. You see, even though Spike still had feelings for Rarity, he began to realize that she would see him as nothing more then a plaything and would love him like a son instead of like a boyfriend. However, as Spike got to know the rest of Twilights friends, He began to realize that Rainbow and him had a lot in common like they both wanted nothing to do with girly things. He started to fall in love with her, but much like Rarity, he just didn't have the guts to tell her his true feelings. He then let out a sigh of disappointment as the realization came over him.
"Hey Spike, in this book, Daring falls in love with a dragon. He sounds kinda cute.", said Rainbow.
"So?", said Spike
"He reminds me a lot of you." Spike immediately went wide eyed and had a blush on his cheeks. Is is Rainbow flirting with me. Then rainbow started to laugh a little.
"Relax Spike, I know you like Rarity."
"Yea Yea." Spike let out another sigh. Reinbows smile turned into a look of concern as she stared at Spike.
"What's Wrong Spike."
"Nothing. It's just, I don't really have feeling for Rarity any more."
"Why not."
"Well, the truth is, I have feelings for another pony instead."
"Is it somepony I know." , Rainbow said with interest in her voice
"you might know her."
"Well does she know your feelings for her."
"I honestly don't know."
"Well Spike, if you ask me, you should tell her you true feeling for her."
"But what if she doesn't like me."
"I wasn't joking when I called you cute. Only Rarity could turn you down and she was an idiot for doing it. If you tell her your true feelings, she will have no choice but to love you." Spike smiled at the rainbow maine'd pegasus.
"Thanks for the advice Rainbow." Spike got off the ladder as he put the last of the books away. Before Spike chould pick out a book to read, he heard Rainbow say something to him.
"Would you like to read with me." Spike froze in his tracks.
"Um o okay.", Said Spike as he hopped up on the couch. He sat quite a bits away from Rainbow.
"Maybe this will help." , said Rainbow as she pushed Spike into a laying stomach down position and she got on top of him. "That's better, now we can both read." Spike was blushing and looked straight at the book, trying not to make eye contact with her.
The two of them were reading the book for quit some time. Then suddenly, Rainbow realized she was blushing at the sensation of Spikes tail rubbing against her hind legs and the fact that she was right up against Spike. It also did not help that they were at a part of the book were the dragon and Daring were making out.
Why am I blushing so much. Rainbow needed an excuse to get out of this. She looked at the window and saw that it was already dark out. "Well it's getting late, I should probably get going.", Rainbow said out loud. She waited for Spike to respond but got only silence. "Spike." Still no response. She looked down to see Spike sleeping. Rainbow just stared at the sleeping dragon for a minute before she grabbed him and put him in his bed. "Good night Spike.", she said before she flew out the bedroom window. Well that was wearied She thought as she got home. She went inside her house and went right to bed.
