Yay! Spike did good! I would have done the same thing given the same circumstances as him. Good job Spike! And Sweetie... Get your mind out of the gutter. You know Spike better than that. Come on.
I think that when it's all said and done, Rarity's happier that Spike found love--genuine love, not puppy love--with another pony other than Rarity, even when said mare is her younger sister, rather than the shame and sadness of breaking his heart (and unintentionally hers a little bit as well), knowing how it affect a good friend, and not attempting to remedy/rectify the situation. Her generousity is so vast that even though she doesn't want what Spike wants, she still have such a high stature for him that she more than likely gave her precious time and energy to make sure that Spike does find love with somepony that will treasure him like the diamond that he is. It's a bit of a suprise that Sweetie Bell of all ponies gave Spike a chance, but then again, it showed that the young mare had liked Spike for awhile, so one can also say it's an awesome gift from big sister to little sister for big sister to 'step out of the way' and fix two issues at once---Spike's crush on Rarity and Sweetie's crush on Spike.
Result: Spike and Rarity are still friends; but Spike has Sweetie Belle as a marefriend, and we know that Sweetie likes Spike as a drakefriend. And Rarity's very happy for both of them. I bet that Spike thanks Rarity for it, since sure it would have been painful to get rejected by the one he crushed for so long, but at the same time grateful that Rarity was finally honest to him and also led him to her sister.
Now that's what I talking about

5229512 thank you. I can't remember where I first heard it but I always remembered it and believed it to be true.
Careful, Sweetie. You're about to end up all covered in sap again.
Noticed AJ's name misspelled, I've actually seen a few authors make that mistake.
