As they traveled through time, Rarity continued to study the image from Spike's dream and started to question the true meaning behind it. Discord's magic was starting to wear out and stop at their next destination, the Golden Oak Library. The library was completely empty, aside from Twilight who was reading at her desk, with a large stack of books beside her, and Spike who was dusting the book shelves.
"Discord why are we here?" asked Rarity.
"To show you how eager the poor little dragon is just too spend time with you." answered Discord. He then turned his head to the entrance of the library. A few seconds later, past Rarity burst through the door and galloped over to Twilight.
"Twilight you must help. Sapphire Shores has asked me to design her entire wardrobe for her upcoming tour, and I am completely out of jewels to use for her outfits. Will you please help me find some?" begged Rarity with a sad expression on her face.
"I would love to help you Rarity, but Princess Celestia just sent me a ton of books to read, and I really need to finish reading them. Maybe Spike would....." said Twilight.
"I'll help you!" interrupted Spike.
"Splendid. Go ahead and get your wagon Spike. Twilight, we will be at the gem field if you need us." said Rarity
"Mhmm" said Twilight already back to reading her books, and paying little attention to what Rarity had said.
"Come along Spike." said Rarity as she walked out of the library.
"After you milady." said Spike following behind her.
"He looks so happy to help you." said Discord.
"Whatever do you mean? He is always happy to assist others." said Rarity
"That maybe true, but he likes to assist you and Twilight the most. Probably you more than Twilight." said Discord.
"Why in Equestria, would he like to assist me more than Twilight?"
"Because, he likes being with you." answered Discord. He then teleported both of them to the gem field so they could watch Spike and past Rarity hunt for gems.
"Oh, I will need to find more jewels than ever before to decorate her costumes." said Rarity as she scanned the ground with her horn. "Aha!"
"Did you find some?!" asked Spike excitingly.
"Yes, right here." answered Rarity as she marked the spot where the gems were. Spike then began to dig into the dirt, with his claws, as fast as he could.
"Really? You couldn't give him a shovel to dig them up with?" asked Discord, looking at Rarity sternly.
"Well.. I... uhmm.." said Rarity, trying to come up with an excuse.
"That what I thought." said Discord, he then turned his attention back to Spike who was drooling over the pile of gems in his waggon.
"You have been very patient today, Spike. For that you get the finest gem. This is from me to you." said Rarity as she handed Spike a gem. He then looked at the gem that was given to him and then at Rarity. "Is something wrong, Spike?"
"No. it perfect." said Spike, holding the gem close to his heart. Rarity's horn then began to glow and pull her in the direction of more gems.
"Ooo, bring the cart, Spike. There are more over here."
"For me. From Rarity." said Spike, as he held the gem tighter in his claws.
"He was never going to eat it you know." said Discord
"Why would he not eat it? Did I give him one he didn't like?" asked Rarity.
"No. It's because you gave it to him. If anyone else gave it to him he would have eaten it in a heartbeat, but because you gave it to him, he chose to cherish it."
"Awwww, Spikey-wikey." said Rarity happily. They then watched as the Diamond Dogs appeared to kidnap Rarity, and as Spike tried his best to protect her from them.
"Sorry, scaly one." said one of the dogs as he stuck Spike on a nearby tree and grabbed Rarity.
"Wait! Rarity?" said Spike as he freed himself and watched as the dogs took Rarity down one of there holes.
"Unhand me this instant, you ruffians. Stop! Put me down, you thugs! You brutes!" yelled Rarity as she tried to free herself.
"Hold on Rarity!" yelled Spike as he ran to the pit.
"Spike! Ah, dirt! Aaaaah, Spiiiike! SAVE ME!" yelled Rarity as she was pulled down the pit.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Spike.
"He tried his very best to protect me." said Rarity as she watched Spike pace back and forth, trying to think of a way to save her. He then came up with an idea and started to run back towards Ponyville.
"Yes he did. He was also determined to rescue you, listen." said Discord as he made an old ham radio appear and tuned it so they could hear what Spike was mumbling.
"Must save Rarity. Must save Rarity. Must save Rarity." said Spike repeatedly.
"While you were in those cave, whining worse then Prince Bluebood to those dogs, Spike had..." said Discord before Rarity interrupted him.
"First off. I was not whining, I was complaining. Second, I am nothing like that royal pain." said Rarity sternly.
"True. At least I haven't had to get rid of you, like I did with him." said Discord
"What do you mean get rid of him? You didn't..." asked Rarity cautiously.
"Oh no. He is being carefully watched by top creatures."
"Who?"
"Top. Creatures." repeated Discord.
Meanwhile in the depths of Tartarus, Prince Bluebood was sitting in his cell, complaining to his cell mate.
"How could you take my magic from me? Me, a stallion of royalty." said Blueblood.
"Oh will you be QUIET!" yelled Tirek. "Your magic was not as special as you think it was. I gained more magic from a newborn foal, then I did from you."
"My magic was special, and just to make things worse those selfish mare didn't even bother to give me my magic back. Now I am no better than an earth pony peasant." complained Bluebood.
"You want to be compared to an earth pony? Ok, come here!" Tirek then grabbed Blueblood and snapped his horn off his head and tossed it out of the cell. "Here Cerberus have a treat." said Tirek. Bluebood was now laying on floor in the fetal position, with his hoof in his mouth.
"As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted. Spike had gathered your friend together and brought them back to the gem field to help rescue you. He even sacrificed the gem you gave him, so he could save you." said Discord as he transported both of them further in time to when Spike was fishing for the Diamond Dogs. "Watch."
"Spike, it is very noble of you to sacrifice the gem Rarity gave you." whispered Twilight.
"Oh, Lady Rarity. My damsel in distress." said Spike as he started to daydream. A few seconds later, Applejack walked over to where Spike was to see what was down the hole, and was almost kissed by him.
"Whoa there, lover boy." said Applejack, stopping him before he could kiss her. Seeing this made Rarity very mad and a vain started appear on her forehead.
"Is that a hint of jealousy I see?" asked Discord with a grin on his face.
"Ladies do not get jealous." protested Rarity as she started to blush.
"Says the mare who's blushing and has a vain sticking out of her forehead." said Discord as he turned into what Rarity looked like.
"Stop that this instant!" ordered Rarity as she turned redder. Seeing this only made Discord laugh.
"Why? You look hilarious when you're jealous. Besides, it's not like it the first time you've been jealous of another mare paying attention to Spike." said Discord as he changed back to his normal self.
"Whatever do you mean?" asked Rarity.
"You know what I am talking about." said Discord. "Would you like to see what he was think of when he was about to kiss Applejack?"
"Yes, please." said Rarity. Discord then changed the channel on the screen to show what Spike was thinking. It showed Spike as a tall dragon knight holding a lance and standing in one of the Diamond Dogs caves.
"I shall save you, Lady Rarity. Show yourselves you dogs." said Spike. As he called them out, the Diamond Dogs that had taken Rarity appeared out of the shadows. "There you are you mutts."
"Hey, who are you calling mutts?" asked one of the dogs. "Unleash the hounds!" ordered another one, as he blew a whistle to call more dogs. A large pack of dogs appeared started to charge at Spike, but he quickly defeated the them and ran over to the dogs that had taken Rarity.
"Now, where is Lady Rarity?" asked Spike as he held his lance at the dogs, they then pointed to a nearby door. Spike then kicked down the door to find Rarity standing in a cell.
"Spike! I knew you would save me." said Rarity.
"Nothing could stop me, milady."
"Ohohohoh, Spike. You are my... hero." said Rarity as she move closer to kiss him.
"Awww that so..."
"Weird." said Discord, interrupting Rarity. Saying that earned him a smack in the back of the head.
"I was going to say sweet." said Rarity sternly.
"Fine, but still look at all he did just to save you. Gathering your friends together, sacrificing his gem, and venture into those dark caves just to save you. He was so relieved to see that you were safe, but even after all he and the others went through, you didn't even thank them."
"I had everything under control. They did not have to risk their lives just to save me." said Rarity
"Yes, but still you could have at least thanked Spike for his efforts to save you." said Discord.
"I suppose I should have, but he knows I was grateful. It's not like I hurt him by not thanking him."
"It funny you should mention hurting him," said Discord with a sinister look on his face as he cast his time spell.
*instant
Still, so far so good
Hmm....I don't think intense is quite the word I would use...
probably instant
Other than that, I love how the story is progressing!
4833763 it fixed now thanks for pointing that out.
4833766 ik i just fixed it.
I see what you did there. So now we can see a little more of Rarity realizing of how ignorant she is of Spike's feelings. Though will this get worse before it gets better or will she make Discord stop?
4833787 it's going to get worse. A whole lot worse.
4833773
whoops, I guess I should have refreshed the page before putting that, according to my side there were no comments yet.
Right now I'm imagining this ending with Rarity coming to Spike, telling him that Discord made her watch past Spike as he was thinking/daydreaming about her, being all "oh now I see blah blah, I'm so touched blah blah" and Spike just being incredibly weirded out by this fact and getting too embarassed to ever be around her again.
Yep, Discord is having a field day.
Awesome story so far! Still can't believe how dense Rarity is when it comes to Spike affections though. I honestly think Equestria Girls should not be on that list. There was little to no interaction between Rarity and Spike in the movie and the only way this would work is if Rarity has an interest in seeing what Spike and Twilight looked like during their trip to the Human World (which she probably does). It would probably have the chapter follow Spike's thoughts during the whole movie and have Rarity jealous when he gets the hots for Human Rarity (or something like that).
Okay, that was funny.
Blueblood gets no respect whatsoever.
Ooh...Discord's not pulling punches.
Whoa, and we only have seen three chapters. Rarity, get ready.
4834194 This story takes place during Simply Ways.
Raiders reference... love it
I´m curious if this is gonna be one of these storys when in the end Rarity apologises to Spike, but he is just "Nah, too late" and then he´s kissing RD or something like that... You get the concept!
Well, it looks like Rarity is still pretty dense, to both Spike's feeling and her own from the looks of it. If you still need chapter ideas how about having Spike run into his old crush Moondacer who asks him out on a date but turns her down saying that he is after someone else and wouldn't be fair to her or Rarity.
4834256 I was actually going to use Moondancer for the best night ever.
A few spelling errors, but good!
6-10 Grammar mistakes, still a good story. I hope the grammar will improve some because it takes away from how interesting the story is.
Any luck with Sweet and Elite? Or is that one going to be tossed out now?
4835634 I still don't know yet. I am kind of leaning on it being referenced then having a whole chapter for it.
4835648 Okay, either one will be fine. The reason I mentioned that episode as a chapter is because of how that episode sparked the RariPants shipping and showed Spike had a potential rival for winning her heart.
Discord is really enjoying himself today.
I'm liking it so far, keep it up :D
This is really good. I hope Rarity finally sees what Spike meant, and what she's going to do when she's finds out
Cant say I find this story all that appealing. Its focused to much on a formula and forgot the story it was trying to tell. Each chapter is: discord takes rarity to an episode, show scene of spike from episode, discord then comments followed by rarity then discord again, move to next scene and repeat until episode is done, next episode with spike. The idea of rarity getting to see all those moments from the episodes and seeing what shes missing (though how she missed it even when its heavily implied that she knows) is all fine and dandy. What doesn't work is that you've focused on a reaction fic where we are painstakingly drug along from scene to scene just to get snide and repetitive comments instead of focusing on character growth and development. A few moments is all it should take, not every spike scene from three seasons. Remember that you are telling a story and not giving a play by play of the show.
Never a bad excuse for a raiders reference.
Niiiiiiiiiice :'D
Ooohh I can't wait for more!!!
4838721 agreed! More!
I'm liking it so far. I wonder how long it will be before Rarity gets a clue.
4842128 haha! Please update soon! Good story!
Quick Update Of The Story, AWESOME! . Also I'm Putting 5 WHOLE Trollestias That Rarity Gets The Hint Next Episode
how about how spike pays more attention to the needs of opalescence than the other pets in that one episode.
4856846 I will think about it. thanks for the idea.
MOAR!
If you want to, that is
4864198 I'm DinoDenver and I approve this message.
4866803

awesome i love the passion and soul you put into your writing. it makes it wonderful to read
4867004 how did blueblood end up in there?
4864198 Sure don't believe in half measures, do ya Pardner?
The Top Creatures part was the funniest thing that I have ever read.
Instant like.
It's vein, not vain.
Dang, Blueblood is racist. And finally, he gets what he deserves! Tirek is now 2nd best villain! (Discord is best villain mofos!)
Well shit Rarity why not just...you know what? Never mind, next!
It was very satisfying to see Blueblood's horn get ripped off.
Excellent chapter. I cannot wait for more, so I won't. On to the next chapter.
Blueblood in Tartarus? And Tirek took his horn, too! Priceless!
