Just your simple Pony writer... I go under the penname Nickel Bristle as well, so that's why you might see that on my stories.

Spike's crush on Rarity may be the worst kept secret in Ponyville, but on a trip to Manehattan, he starts to feel like everyone is getting the fabulous Rarity's praises, except for him. Can Spike learn to resist the city's cold shoulder and stay true, or will the little dragon's heart be lost in the Big Apple?

This is nice, but it feels unfinished.

4741643 It was originally done as a response to a prompt in Equestria Daily's Writers Training Ground. The story mostly takes place through the events of "Rarity Takes Manehattan."

In terms of finished... I always took it that Rarity would go back through the events of the episode (rushing out of the hotel when the dresses are finished, etc.) and Spike would continue to be thankful in the background.

Aaaawwwww....:twilightsmile:

I see.

It wasn't the best stopping point, but if you change 'Romance' to 'Slice of Life', it would feel more finished.

Basically it felt unfinished because there was barely any romantic interaction. It was more of a speil between friends.

4742238 It was originally under that tag on the post but I suppose I could change it. ^_^

I came here because the picture confused me
Be a "deer" for me
Sadly enough it took me a couple of minutes to get that :ajsleepy:

4742617 It took me a while when I first saw that picture on EQD too, don't worry.

And yes, the story mostly takes place in "Rarity Takes Manehattan" after she says that line. :raritywink:

Spike looked over the edge "If our fiends did leave we could see them from here and I bet if I spit I can hit Rainbow right on top of her mane":rainbowwild:
Feeling better Rarity giggled:raritywink:" Spikey That's such a nasty thing to do,But You realy do know how to treat a lady":duck:

I get the pun in the picture, but I just wanted to say:

Deer Spike is adorable! :twilightsmile:

This was well done, though I agree with Kill the Jester, it feels incomplete, especially if one hasn't seen 'Rarity Takes Manehatten'.

4743267 Hey! Rainbow Dash wasn't a jerk in this story! XD

4743321 Fair enough. It was my first foray at the writing prompts so I sort of eased into it. This is a special case where I wrote the story inside of the episode, rather than after it.

Dat picture....so much confusion....then I got it.

And it works perfectly, once the episode itself is taken into account. :twilightsheepish:

But until I realized that the episode's conclusion was what was supposed to come after, I was confused. No matter, it worked out very well in the end! :twilightsmile:

Awww, friendzoned. Also, why does everyone assume Spike is so young? Twilight hatched him when she was really young. So Spike is likely at least in his mid-teens, heck he could even be 18.

Yeah, D Stone. Dashie wasn't a jerk but from 300 floors her mane will stand out. Got to aim at something.:rainbowwild:

4745102 In the context of the show, Twilight always calls him a "baby" dragon. Which he is, considering dragons live for thousands of years and he's only at best in his teen years.

In terms of how I write Spike, I like saying "young dragon" because it makes Spike sound a little bit more mature than a toddler that needs to be taken care of. On his relationship with Rarity... that's a whole different story.

4745153 Heh, I guess you have a point.:rainbowderp:

Dashies a little prankster:rainbowlaugh: Just like every pony or Drake:moustache:
Don't think Miss adorkable wouldn't:facehoof: agree.

And with tht last sentence, Spike's dreams were crushed.

4746149 You guys always assume the worst out of things like that.

I wouldn't say so much as crushed but... well... accepting of his place in their relationship. :)

4746181 I guess... Yeah, maybe.

yay
