Till The End...

Author's Note:

"Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye." -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Spike, you've grown so much since I first seen you as a baby dragon. I still remember the times we have spent together through the faults and chaos Equestria and we have been through. In the end we still made it out alive and intact, but there was still so much before us that nearly rattle down our paths. You were young and I was old, you were learning and I was learning from you, and in the end it all paid off...we realized, there's so many things that we both share that are special in this world.

After you set off into your hibernating season to finish your growth spurt, I took the time to prepare a hunt for a rare gem so that when you awaken from your slumber and into your adolescent years--or to us ponies--adulthood, you'll be given a gift upon your return. I didn't know what dragons your age would like the most and most of all, I didn't know if I could ever get a new heart gem like the one I destroyed back then when I was possessed by Nightmare Moon. My intention is simple, dear, it was to give you something to remember...forever.

But there was more to this, my dear. So much. I found the letter you left for me back before you set off to your hibernation. I read it...I smiled...I cried...and I did not leave my shop for two days, it took Twilight and Applejack to convince me to come out to figure out why I did not leave and when I shown them letter, Twilight was the only one who asked me if I was sure of anything. Applejack on the otherhoof was stuck to pony traditions, but explain to me that once I made an answer, I still should feel happy for you.

Believe me...it was a lot to take in.

So I spent time at the spa, reading my romance novels, and spending time with the others, still thinking of an answer. It was a long one, but the commitment behind it was very special. I remember from Rainbow Dash, she quoted something from her Daring Doo book. It said, "One must never rush for such fortunes and wonders, but take a second to look around and think. We live on a planet after all that anything could spontaneously occur and we wouldn't be prepare for, but if we survive in the end, whether it be the cause of putting our life on the line or not, we will be experienced with the outcome in what if could happen the following tomorrow or next second we take a step forward to continue our every day lives," (Doo, V.12, 132-133). In other words, Spike, I need to put my mind on the other things first and not rush into anything so huge for a mare like me to take in. So I did, I handled the important stuff such as paying for my bills, earning larger payments, and earning some great interests from many famous ponies. Do you Fleur's and Fancy Pant's filly, Chestnut? They needed a dress for her, and it was hard to get the right one, so I stop to think what interests she had and commonly they were familiar to Dash's and yours. You enjoy comic books and certain symbols that reminded you of some pony, so I made her a dress of her favourite heroin, Daring Doo.

I took my time to focus on other things, but not once did I not forget about your letter. How could I? It held meaning firmly and made this mare very stressed out from deciding about answering it. But nonetheless, I still have it, I still think a lot about it, and though Twilight and Applejack may think I have moved on with it or perhaps forgotten it all together, I still...thought about it. It is special, my dear.

So special it made me happy.

Years can go by so fast, from which our forms begin to change both physically and mentally, however, our hearts remain the same. Friendship never dies and love lasts forever. This is why the letter is special to me and why you mean the world to me. And if the earth or whatever cosmic phenomenon attempts to split us apart, our stars would remain linked and the frail knot that binds us shall not be sever. Our life together shall carry on forever.

But all of that resided with the answer you sought for and I was under obligation to give. What you sought for was an honest answer, one where only my voice would sing, lips may purr, and tone may twist with a sweeten pinch of honey. Love never felt so embracing before me that I would look like a mess...in a good way.

Spike, the world is beginning to spin and the stars are playing our favourite song. When you wake up, I want you to close your eyes and feel the mellifluous winds blow against your wings--if you happen to grow wings--and feel the gentle brisk of the winds cloak you in a soothing breeze of the new spring's birth. I want you to remember the greatest moments that we have ever spent together. After that, I want you to open up your eyes, but do not look back down or straight head, keep your head up; for you will see my star shining down upon you, casting a warm ray of light which is will be me, embracing you in a hug.

If it rains by any chance, do not feel bothered by it at all. Do not feel as if it is a gloomy side of life, instead, think of it as the cherished moment you were a bit grown and taller than me, that we both dance in the rain on the streets of Ponyville after I missed the carriage to the Grand Galloping Gala. My prince charming, oh sweet words I would call you, but most of all, my Spikey-Wikey.

Spike, I believe my answer is quite firm. I believe we both know that even through strife, what I will say will change nothing between us; I would still see you as my Spike. Spike, since you asked, when you wake up, just know...

I do...

Honestly for this type of story, it needs a bit more but for what it is, I find it alright but not too good.

5288641 Hmm, I believe this is why I have trouble writing things from Rarity's point of view when it comes to stories like this. I can do Spike pretty fine. In suggestions, what do you recommend?

5288654 For this kind of story, I honestly think two chapters that tell each point of view would be nice. That way the reader can see where the two stand in their romance.

5288683 Hmm, that seems quite understandable, especially when all I need to do is focus on the center of the season. This is set before Spring. So, maybe I can coax something up. I shall make this incomplete. Thank you darling by the way.

I enjoyed this a lot, have a thumbs up

5288728 same, this was calming to read to some chillstep.

5288773
5288728 Thank you, darling. Now I need to think of a second chapter. This may take weeks.

5288874 Seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks, it doesn't matter, things take time to progress and perfect, just like The Art of the Dress.

Not bad, but has a lot of grammar errors...

Where'd you hear this, by the way? it's really good.

So refreshing to read something on here that isn't crass or mindless pornography. Well done

Spikey awoke from his slumber, Stumbling out of the cave he checked his back for wings, Dag nab it , None.:flutterrage:
He walked and waddled, How much taller had he grown? Just a smidgen. Drat !:pinkiegasp:
He continued to walk stepping in something a timber wolf dropped off. Yuck !:rainbowhuh:
He hurried to Raritys boutique , and was knocked over by a runaway carriage ." Was-up with today?":facehoof:

Spikey walked in through the door, "Best day ever!':raritystarry::moustache:

Nice, could add a little more conflict .:derpytongue2:

OMG senpai, this is so usss!

I like this story.

It seemed a little rushed, but stories like this always make you want more, no matter how long they are XD
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Kudos!

5290928 Yes, I feel as if there should be something else to add a final chapter. Just planning what the final chapter would be.
