Spike is still dancing away as another song he enjoys comes on after the first one.
"Awesome!" Spike says happily before he dances even harder.
By this time he attracts a small amount of ponies to cheer for him.
"Go Spike, go!" Sweetie Belle cheers loudly as he twirls on the ground again.
"Ah never knew Spike could dance this good." Apple Bloom comments, impressed.
"He's a pretty talented dragon. He is the princess' assistant after all." Scootaloo says as she smiles at seeing him do a flip.
Spike meanwhile is having the time of his life. However, that comes to an end when song ends and moves on to the next one. He decides to sit this song out and turns toward his dates. They were on the side giggling at each other. He walks to them and smiles.
"What did ya think of that?" Spike says with a bit of pride at the two.
Diamond merely waves a hoof. "It was alright." She says dismissively.
Spike shrinks at that slightly. "Oh."
"Hey Spike? Can you get me and Diamond some drinks?" Silver asks with a smile as she looks at him.
Spike smiles as well and nods. "Sure. Be right back." He says before he turns and walks to the punch table.
However, as he walks away from them, he pauses as he notices a few ponies in a small circle. He moves between them and sees a commotion at the table.
"Ugh! I can't believe you!" Scootaloo yells angrily at her rather irritated looking coltfriend.
"What's your problem? I was just hanging with the guys for a while. No need to flip out." Rumble says with irritation.
Spike sees Apple Bloom grab Scootaloo as she seems to want to strangle the life out of him after saying that. "Are you serious? This was supposed to be OUR date! Not yours and the guys!" She nearly screams at him.
"It's not that big of a deal. I'm here now aren't I?" He says indignantly. Spike even has the urge to hit him at that comment.
"What?! I will not be second to your friends! You can go hang out with them all you want cause WE ARE THROUGH!" She yells the last part before storming off and out the door. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle glare at the colt before following after.
Spike walks up to him with a quite a bit of annoyance as he speaks to another colt. "Jeez, she can be so overdramatic sometimes..."
Spike taps his shoulder. He turns and sees a rather angry dragon glaring at him.
"Hey Spike. What's-"
He didn't get to finish before he is punched right in the face by the dragon.
"Ow! Dude what in the world did you hit me for?" He says as he holds his face in pain.
"That's for hurting one of my friends and being an idiot!" Spike says with a glare. "You're lucky I don't burn you to a crisp." He adds, a plume of green fire escaping his maw.
Rumble panics and runs away from the fire breathing dragon before getting burned.
Spike sighs at that. "I hope she's okay." He says before he decides to get the punch for his dates. He gets to the table and grabs three cups. He makes one quickly and drinks it before tossing it in the trash a few feet away.
"Two points." He says with a smile before he makes two more. He grabs one in each claw and turns to leave...only to collide with a unicorn filly, knocking one of the drinks out of his claws.
"Oops! My bad!" She says before she continues past him to the little fillies room down the way.
Spike sighs at that. He grabs a few napkins and starts to clean up the mess. Some of the liquid trailed under the table so he moved the table tarp out the way and went under to clean it, making sure not to spill the one in his other claw.
"Where is that dragon? He was supposed to be getting us drinks!"
Spike pauses in surprise at that. Then he starts to clean it quickly so he could get back to the mares and apologize.
"Diamond calm down. He probably had to use the bathroom or something."
"Well he should have done that after he got our drinks. Lazy dragon."
Spike frowns at that. I'm not lazy, I just got distracted by the argument that happened. He thought as he finishes cleaning the spill. He turns to head out from under the table.
"Don't you think that's a little much?"
"No. Pretending to have an interest in the dragon is a little much."
Spike froze, his eyes growing wide.
"I mean, do we really have to go through this every time we want to do something? Why not just admit that we're dating already."
Spike feeks his blood running cold. He can't believe what he is hearing.
"We've been through this already Diamond. You know how my parents are. She still thinks I came here with Snails. Eww."
"Well, at least those two would have waited on us hoof and hoof, unlike that dragon."
"I don't know, Spike's not-" CRUNCH
Spike accidentally crushed the plastic cup in his claws, spilling the drink.
"What was that?"
"I don't know. Oh, eww! There's juice on the floor!"
Spike slowly walks out from under the table, surprising them.
"S-Spike? What were you doing under the table?" Diamond says as Silver's eyes grew wide.
"Oh no. D-Did you hear all that." Silver says in horror.
Spike merely nods his head once while looking down. His eyes were heavy with tears, but he forces them back as he looks at them.
"Now I know why Scootaloo said what she said about you two..." He says before turning to leave.
"What did she say? And where are you going? We are still on our date!" Diamond calls after him.
Spike pauses at the door, one claw on the handle. "I wouldn't continue this date for all the gems in Equestria." Spike says simply before opening the door and walking out into the chilly night air, not even close to as cold as his heart.
DT & SS damn that's cold!
poor Spikey
Party poopers!
Now what?
Wow that is cruel great chapter you should do a Apple Jack x Spike story
Right when Spike overheard her I was like "oh no honey you ain't doing that to my dragon!"
Sometimes I hate when I'm right!
Is this going to be like for Spike? Shot down to a point where he'd be cornered into isolation?
You know, even when she was found out, Diamond was still a bitch, but it almost seemed like Silver was sorry. Maybe she actually was enjoying the time with Spike as well as Diamond
6211100
Wait and see.
6211834
Here? Or another story?
6212733
But she did, sadly.
6213056
Hey, it happens. Maybe things will get better...
6213352
You'll just have to read and see...
6213895
It seems that way, doesn't it?
6214967 I guess they will if he ends up with Scootaloo.
But, like I said before, we have to first get up to the first scene in chapter 1, before the healing can start. For, Spike's, sake I hope that soon, he already stuck out twice, and there maybe a third.
Great story. Please continue!
6214960 I do that a lot.
Great. (Sarcasm).
First Rarity and now SS and DT just use him to hide the fact that DT and SS are dating each other.
I WILL DESTROY THEM!!!
6214963
Another story
6215167
Let's just say this story isn't even halfway through yet.
6215668
The anger is real!
6215675
Oh definitely! I have one already in the making.
6216325 cool
6216320 Damn! Not sure if that's good or bad for, Spike, but I will enjoy the ride. Keep going!
....honestly, Spike, I'm as dumbfounded as you are.... especially if it seems like you continue to strike out with potential dates.
Assuming the story, as I haven't seen it all yet, Rarity rejected you. And now I see that Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara are fillyfoolers (well it seems Diamond Tiara is a definite one, the jury's out on Silver Spoon in my opinion), even though they are using Spike to get you to the dance.
....whatever you do Spike, don't take that phrase to heart. Trust me. I'm pretty sure that there is somepony there that completes you. And regardless of the pain and suffering, the heartbreak and tears, being truly loved is worth it because you are not alone. This world was never made it for you to be alone, regardless of how independent you may be. Also I hate the idea of a rebound, but considering Scootaloo is probably looking for love as well, especially after breaking up with her ex-coltfriend Rumble, it may be your best bet to at least talk to her. I'm pretty sure that the two of you are friends already.
Now I've seen all of it so far. Rarity went lesbian for Fluttershy, DT's lesbian with Silver Spoon (but both are still in the closet). Scootaloo's coltfriend is now her ex-coltfriend, and good riddance to Rumble since it's clear that he never learned his lesson and Scoots got tired of it.
Considering that Twilight Sparkle is one of the main characters of this, and basically everypony else have turned out to be straight-up plotholes to Spike, I'm starting to think that this is gonna be a issue of First Girl Wins, and it appears that the First Girl is Twilight by a mile. She seems to be the only one that really cares for Spike's well being, she's the one that comforted him when he found out Rarity is with another mare, not to mention kinda tearing the fashionista a new one for leaving Spike to the winds because of some closet-minded thinking that a pony and dragon can't work.
And then there is that little thing of both Twilight and Spike wishing upon a shooting star that night : Spike wishing for somepony that would genuinely like and date him, and Twilight wishing for Spike to be happy. I bet that the two of them don't see that they are perfect for each other--they are already best friends; seems that best friends is a fertile land where actual relationships are cultivated from.
Stay Tuned!

Wow. Your comments actually make me want to post the next chapter much faster. So be it; today there will be another chapter coming out.
Also, I enjoy your thoughts on the story. They are quite interesting. Let's see if your assumptions are correct.
6223070 I hope you do, this is getting REAL good.
Rarity and Flutters are dating, DT and SS are dating, Scoots just dumped Rumble, and I'm sitting here wondering how this'll all work out in the end.
6229310
it doesn't. Spike ends up becoming a monk and questions "what is love?" then suddenly, three stallions pass through in a car, bobbing their heads and complaining about the broken CD
DAMN! Knew something was going on, but was this before or after the girls 'redemption'? Go after Scoots, Spike, go with your heart out! Also Dinky is awesome.
