Chapter Ten
Crushing Blow
Lil’ Dew and Sweetiebelle both helped to pick up Spike and help him to his feet. After his fight with Lyvia he was winded but only mildly wounded. It seemed as though Lyvia had held back, otherwise he would have been in so much more pain.
“Are you sure you’re alright, Spike?” Sweetiebelle asked, holding his hands tightly, worried for him.
He nodded, “I’m fine, Sweetiebelle. I’m only a little winded that’s all.” he smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
He looked upon her beautiful face, which was covered, in pure-white fur and her emerald green eyes just screamed out ‘love’! She had a soft, soothing smile that showed she cared and the lightness of her expression only accompanied that. However, he also noticed that the burn on her left cheek reopened and had begun to bleed again.
This made Spike feel guilty and miserable, the memories of what he had done on the train were rushing back to him now and how he had caused her so much pain. Yet, these emotions were soon overshadowed by his instant curiosity that emerged as he remembered her laughter. He still couldn’t figure out why she had laughed the way she did, or why she even did.
He shook his head a little to try and throw away these thoughts, they were distracting him and right now he thought that it would be best if they just returned to class; they were surely late.
“Hey, Sweetiebelle.” Spike said to grab her attention as the three of them walked towards the castle-school.
“Hmm?” she replied, turning her head to face and still holding his hand.
“You’re cheek is bleeding again.” he remarked.
“Yeah I know. I can feel the blood.” she replied, using her other hand to wipe some of the drops off her cheek.
“Do you want to go to the nurse?” he inquired, as he was worried about he. A burn can easily get infected and the last thing he wanted was a girlfriend who was sick or in pain.
She only shook her head. “No I’ll be okay, I’ll put a bit of ointment on it when I get back to my dorm, but thanks anyway.”
“Alright then. As long as you’ll be alright.”
“Spike, it’s not going to kill me. Of course I’ll be alright.”
The three of them entered the school grounds through the large, stonewall, crossed the grassy oval and walked through the Celestial Courtyard and the soon reached the school itself. The corridors were empty and the air was quiet and still, something seemed wrong, the place seemed dead.
“Is it just me, or is this place quieter than usual?” Lil’ Dew spoke, She was looking around curiously to see if she could see anyone and to her surprise, she couldn’t even see or hear Lyvia anywhere either.
“You’re right, is really quiet.” Sweetiebelle replied, also letter her curiosity take over and she looked around too.
No one was in sight and no one could be heard, it seemed as though they were very late for class because there was not a singe person walking the hallways. This was also slightly unusual considering that teacher’s often patrol the passageways of the school.
But then, they heard two voices; they were coming from just around the corner. One voice sounded like a grown woman, actually it just sounded like an old hag, which was probably one of the teachers. The other voice belonged to none other, than Lyvia Sounds.
“... so you’re saying that there are three students skipping class and two of them are romantically involved?” the old hag asked.
“Yes.” Lyvia replied simply.
“Then this must be reported to the Headmaster immediately!”
Lyvia and the old hag of a teacher walked around the corner to see the three students. Sweetiebelle, Spike and Lil’ Dew stood shocked as they saw the teacher and Lyvia.
“That them, Miss Hag.” Lyvia pointed out and she took a step back to watch the events unfold, she had a small smirk on her face; she was enjoying this.
“Thank you Lyvia.” Miss Hag walked up to the three; she had an irritated and menacing expression planted upon her face. “What the hell do you kids think you’re doing!?”
Spike gulped and watched helplessly as the teacher approached.
“We... We got lost.” lied Sweeteibelle.
“Is that so, little missy? Then how did you get accepted into this school if can’t read the signs that are everywhere?!”
Sweetiebelle went silent, she was usually a very good liar but this time she was caught out and she didn’t know what to do.
The teacher noticed the silence and ordered the three of them to follow her back to the headmaster’s office, and the did. They followed the old hag all the way until their impending doom. The headmaster was about the find out about their relationship and not to mention they would get into more trouble for not going to class. They would surely be expelled and all that time and money that Rarity and Twilight put in would have been a waste. Spike wondered how Twilight would react; he wouldn’t be able to help her in her advanced magical pursuits. And how would Rarity react; she would surely not be happy about this at all, she’s not as rich as Twilight and she was stricter on Sweetiebelle too. He glanced over at his beloved girlfriend and noticed that the same thought was going through her mind; you could tell just by looking at her face.
The old hag opened the headmaster’s door and brought them in, she lined the three of them up in front of a curious principal and began to explain what had happened. Lyvia was behind her.
“Headmaster Tinder Box, I caught these three skipping class and wandering the halls. Not only that, but two of them are romantically involved.”
This immediately caught Tinder’s attentions and he sat up in his chair, glaring down at the three students.
“What are you names?” he asked softly, trying not to strike any fear into them.
“I’m Spike, this is Sweetiebelle...” he said, pointed to her, “... and this is Lil’ Dew.” he finished off by gesturing to Lil’ Dew.
“So Lil’ Dew, Sweetiebelle and Spike, which of you are romantically involved?”
“Spike and Sweetiebelle, sir.” Lyvia said as she stepped out from behind Miss Hag, showing herself and she lined up with her friends. “I also skipped class with them.”
This stalled his attention and he looked at her, angrily “Lyvia, how dare you continue to break my rules. We have talked before about you’re continuous fighting and now this. What is wrong with you girl!”
“I don’t care, you know that. Expel me if you want, but I still wont care.” Lyvia replied.
The headmaster shook his head in disapproval and looked at the other three, specifically Spike and Sweetiebelle.
“Why are you kids dating when I made it clear that dating is against the rules?” he asked.
“Because I love him!” Sweetiebelle yelled without hesitation. If she were to be expelled, she would go out with a bang.
“I see...” he looked over his papers and pushed his glasses closer to his eyes and read from the sheet. “It says here: Dating is against the rules at Canterlot School for Equestria’s Gifted due to the fact that it distracts students from their study and hinders their true performance. The punishment for students caught dating is instant expulsion.”
Sweetiebelle looked down and her stomach suddenly dropped; the feeling of sorrow flooded her mind and the thoughts of Rarity’s reaction did too. She knew that she would be grounded and she knew that she would be lectured everyday for it, but what actually ate at her sanity was the fact that she had just wasted thousands of her sister’s Bits on only four days of school.
“However, on that note, I offer you a choice. You can both denounce your love and remain in the school, or you can stay together and I shall expel the two of you.”
Spike looked at Sweetiebelle and held her hand again. “I wasn’t lying when I said that I would never leave you... So I’m sorry about this” he turned to look at the headmaster, “Expel us. We will never denounce.”
“I see then... well, by my right as headmaster, you two are expelled.”
It was done; they had been expelled. After only four days of attending school they had already been expelled. It was remarkable and scary, but the way they sore it, if they couldn’t love each other where they were, then they would go someone where they could.
“Oh and Miss. Sounds.” the headmaster continued and spoke to Lyvia. “You are expelled too for not heeding my warning before.” he looked at the three of them, “ There will be a train waiting for you tomorrow morning at 10am. Gather your things and be down there by then. The train won’t leave until all three of you are aboard.”
-- The next morning –
The three teenagers, Sweetiebelle, Lyvia Sounds and Spike were all lined up on the platform waiting for the train to come.
Lyvia was wearing her signature red, hooded, zip-up jumper with her white, buttoned-up shirt exposed. She had a brown belt that held up he blue jeans. On her feet were black, leather boots. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail again too. She stood near Sweetiebelle and Spike but she assumed that it would be safer to stay away. By her side were two suitcases full of all her belongings, they weren’t heavy and they didn’t even have that much in them since she didn’t wear a wide variety of clothes.
Sweetiebelle was also wearing her signature outfit, which were a shortish, light pink, sleeveless dress, red sandals and multi-coloured bangles. Around her neck hung a golden, manticore necklace and on her ears were two diamond earrings. She had brushed her hair and pampered her face extra today in hopes of distracting Rarity from her anger with how beautiful she looked. She had only one suitcase by her side as Spike was carrying the other one, which meant that he was carrying three in total.
Being a dragon meant that he was stronger than most ponies and so he was able to carry Sweetie’s extra bag with his tail. He was wearing a black, zip-up jacket with his white polo exposed underneath. He was wearing blue jeans and black shoes as well. He was holding Sweetiebelle’s hand and his two suitcases were by his side.
They patiently waited for the train to arrive and when it did they boarded. Or, so they were supposed too.
This was the last thing Sweetiebelle had remember as she never did board that train, in fact she wasn’t sure what had happened instead. However she had woken up in a small, dark and damp looking cell.
The cell appeared to be underground, as it didn’t have any proper wall, only rock formations. This didn’t disturb her too much, no, what actually disturbed was what she was looking at.
Through the bars of the cells were eyes staring back at her, they eyes belonged to an old rival, someone she hated to see and someone she had hoped she wouldn’t see for years to come. The eyes that stared back at her were owned by Diamond Tiara.

looks like I'll have to wait a while longer.
Wow.............................................
I wonder what s*** they got into that got SB into a cell with DT.
Cant wait tot see what happened!!!!
Am i the only person who absolutely hates reading a story with a cliff hanger ending? Either way please hurry with the sequal. I would very much like to know what went down.
4518592 I'm already writing the sequel, so do not sorry, I won't make you guys wait longer than a week. I understand how absolutely torturous the waiting can be so I will only torture you guys for a little while. =P
4593206 okay so why was he such a jerk at they beginning then was nice again
my head already hurts
4597879 1- he's a teenager
2- characterisation...
4597883
okay I totally forgot some teens are immature and I am one but I'm more mature then most of my friends
4597890 I agree, and I do admit that I may have rushed his characterisation or had it a little wavy.
4590805
Okay I was just saying the actual way it is written is that way. Since you know, then its fine. I say 'Applebloom' when its actually 'Apple Bloom'.
I noticed just now that the summary only talks about Spike and Sweetie Belle, but so far, I've noticed Lyvia also seems important to the story so why isn't she mentioned in it? Also, you have a character tag for Rarity but she hasn't been really in the story(as of yet anyway) but is also not written in the summary. Is there a reason to that?
4617014 yes there is actually. You see, Rarity has a character tag because she was i the peologue so she was a legitimate character but she is also Sweetiebelle's sister so its a given that she'll be in the story. Also, I neer really planned for Lyvia to be in the story and she sort of just happened.
4618053
I understand that Rarity is her sister and all but if she doesn't have a relevant part in the story, then she doesn't really need a tag. She needs to be in more than just the prologue; she has to be a character widely focused on almost as much as Spike and Sweetie Belle. If she is only in the prologue and possibly one or two more chapters, she wouldn't even fit in the secondary character role.
That's another reason to the whole summary thing. If they are mentioned in the Summary, Most Suppose they are the focus of the story. For some reason, I have the feeling that Lyvia will be just as important and focused on as Sweetie Belle and Spike. I have no problem with that, just it would have been great to know earlier so I could have an idea. Most people do. You dont even have to put her name; merely hint that an OC is included(besides just the tag of course.)
Don't worry, I have thought of that and I will continue. I was merely just voicing my opinions so far.
4619092 Point taken. Thank you.
Okay I have now read this entire story and can give my opinion on it. In a few simple words: Potential but needs work.
Let's start off with what I first spoke of. Rarity's tag shouldn't be on here. Besides the prologue, she is not even seen once, mainly because she isn't there. Also, Lyvia is considered a main character here; an annoying one, but one nonetheless. The OC tag helps us know that but a little more should be added to the summary.
Next is the story itself. I like the premise of it alot: Spike and Sweetie Belle finding love in each other as they try to keep it hidden in a school that doesn't allow relations. I do hate that it was only four days, as that just removed the possibility of so many more great chapters that even I had for this story. There were also a lot of holes left unfilled that i hope will be in sequel like the senior that was stabbed, Lyvia's reasons, DT's random appearance, Lil' Dew's punishment and what happens with her(personally for my own pleasure) and where Spike is when Sweetie Belle wakes up. I also hope Spike becomes a badass kinda but thats just my wishful thinking.
Now, the grammar. Needs work but isn't too bad. It doesn't disrupt the flow too much but I do suggest getting an editor if you care about editing it.
9 out of 10 for Romance
9 out of 10 for Slice of Life
10 out of 10 for Anthro
10 out of 10 for Random(suggested you add this)
7 out of 10 for grammar
7 out of 10 for overall story.
I will be reading the sequel because these questions in my head will annoy me if i get no answer. Hopefully they will be. There will be a like in this for you tho. :)
Meh you weren't that important here.
Edit: Noticed you removed Rarity Tag. Thanks for not being mad at my comments. I'm only trying to help and I really do like the story.
4619590 Hey, your comments are quite good, even if a little over the top and a little annoying at times.
However, this was my first story and I had no original plan for it so any help is better than no help and so far you're really the only one giving that to me, so thank you.
I have/and will take into account everything you have said, but please note that I will not be changing anything.
Also. on top of what I said previously about having no original plan, and what you said about there being many holes left unfilled. I only have to say that I do not entirely know what I'm answering and what I'm not (However, some questions will be answered later on... like way later on; depending on how important it is).
But none the less, thank you.
4619695
oh for the holes I spoke of, I was only hoping for them to be answered. I don't expect Anything on here because it isn't my story. Also I would never ask for you to change YOUR story. Beside grammatical errors, the story should stay the way you want it and if others don't like it, find another story.
Also I apologize for the annoying comments. If it's because of the colors and such, I merely do that to make the comments more lively and attractive to the eye. If you wish, I will refrain from posting them and keep it plain.
I'm so sorry I forgot this was in my bookmarks and was just browsing and I find out you finished this whole story when I have time I'll finish it. On chapter three by the way.
4728318 i hope you're enjoying the story. There's also a sequal that I'm close to finishing too.
4893543 thank you, I made that mistake in two of my stories I believe.
There we go, I fixed it
5139357 hey don't worry, Spike will get better, it's callwd characterisation
I like story on to the sequel straight away
