A young lavender mare was sitting in the library, looking over one of her books, when her scaly friend came walking over to her. He wasn’t interested in conversation, he wasn’t interested in reading, he just wanted to be near the mare which he cared for so much.
“Hey Twilight,” Spike said with a smile.
Quickly, the lavender unicorn looked up to him and returned the smile. “Hey Spike, what is it?”
“Oh nothing,” Spike said as he sat down. “I just wanted to be with my best friend in the world.”
Twilight couldn’t help but blush. “What has gotten into you Spike? It’s like you’re a completely different dragon.”
Spike made a slightly mischievous grin. “Is that necessarily a bad thing?”
“Oh no. I love it, but I just want to know what’s making you act like this.”
“It’s nothing really. I’m just glad to be seeing you more often.”
“Well that’s kind of obvious,” smirked Twilight.
Spike jokingly rolled his eyes. “So what do you want to do today?”
“That’s not random at all,” teased Twilight. “I was actually thinking about saying hi to Fluttershy. It feels like ages since I’ve last seen her.”
“Oh could I come? I wanna see her too. I mean she’s been a good friend of mine since day one.”
Twilight smiled and replied “Of course. After all I’d love to have my best friend in the whole world with me.”
The young dragon let a smile escape his lips and tried to conceal a blush. However, just before Spike could speak, there was a knock at the door.
Twilight quickly stood and levitated her book onto its shelf. “I wonder who that is.”
Spike stood as well and turned to Twilight. “It’s okay. I’ve got it.” However, a certain pink furred pony had a different idea. Fore just as Spike took his first step; a cheerful mare burst through the door and began bouncing in their direction.
“Hi Spikey! Hi Twiey!” Pinkie pie exclaimed.
“Oh hi Pinkie,” Twilight greeted. “What is it?”
“Oh nothing much. The Cakes just can’t find a certain cook book, so I figured that if anypony had a book that I needed it would be you, because you are the book pony after all. Well more of a librarian, but I just like how book pony sounds. Book pony. Book pony. Book pony!”
The young dragon leaned over to Twilight and whispered “Looks like we’ll be going to Fluttershy’s in a few hours instead.”
Twilight let out a faint giggle and looked back to Pinkie Pie. “Well I’ll see what I can do. What’s the book called?”
“Oh it’s called The Big Book of Cakes, Candies, and Biscuits.”
“Uhhh, I’m not exactly familiar with that title, but I’m sure we could find it.”
“Yay!” exclaimed Pinkie, as she cheerfully clapped her hooves together.
“Well,” began Spike, “I’ll be upstairs if anypony needs me… For anything… At all…”
Twilight looked over to him and replied “Oh okay Spike. We’ll let you know.”
As the young dragon walked away he thought to himself ‘Gah! Why can’t I just tell her how I feel already?!’ However, unknown to him was the fact that Twilight’s eyes were tracking him until she was sure he was out of earshot.
The lavender mare looked back to Pinkie Pie and quietly whispered “Hey, can you keep a secret?”
----------
A little purple dragon was sitting on his bed, writing away in his journal, and smiling as he did so. He couldn’t help it after all, every time he would think about Twilight he’d try his best not to smile.
“March, 30th
I just love Twilight so much! I mean she’s pretty, she’s smart, she’s cute, and she’s the nicest pony I’ve ever met! She’s perfect! Why hadn’t I figured this out sooner? I only wish that I had spent my time going after her instead of Rarity.
Now I’m not very good at poetry, but I think I’ll give it a go for her.
Every time I look into her eyes I feel like I could fly,
Not once has she ever made me cry,
But every time I want to tell her, I feel like I could die,
So I’ll just leave her with a sigh
And do my best to lie.”
Spike smiled a little and didn’t care when a blush ran across his face. ‘I love Twilight so much’ he thought.
----------
After a few more pages of poetry, the young dragon began to grow bored with writing, despite the fact that he was displaying his unrequited love for Twilight. So he decided to go downstairs and see if she was ready to go to Fluttershy’s cottage.
As Spike crept down the staircase, he could hear Twilight and Pinkie Pie talking. Not being one to eavesdrop, Spike was about to walk into the kitchen and make himself known, but when he heard Twilight say just four words; he stopped dead in his tracks.
“I don’t like Spike. So why am I having these dreams?” asked Twilight.
Pinkie Pie put a hoof to her chin and said “Hmm. Maybe you do like him, but it’s just in your subconscious.”
“No way. He’s like a little brother to me. I mean can you imagine what everypony else would think if they knew we were even talking about this?”
“Twilight, I don’t think it matters what everypony else thinks. I think what matters is what you think.”
“What I think is that Spike would freak out if he knew I was dreaming about him like this.”
“I wouldn’t say that Twilight. Who knows? He may even be flattered by it.”
“Pinkie, I know my best friend. He’d probably run away or something.”
“I don’t think so. I think you should really keep more of an open mind to this sort of thing.”
“No, I don’t like Spike, I never did like Spike, and I need these dreams to stop. It’s too weird.”
The young dragon was just leaning against the wall, with tears running down his face. He wanted to start screaming, start bawling, or punch the wall, but he couldn’t make a sound. ‘She’ll never love me?’ he thought.
Spike couldn’t stand hearing this for another second, so he quickly turned around and shot up the stairs. As he ran a trail of tears followed his every step.
“Twilight, stop being so harsh about it. He’s not the same baby dragon you used to know,” pleaded Pinkie Pie.
The lavender mare let a sigh escape her lips and said “I know. I know. It’s just I don’t want to like him. I can’t like him.”
“So you’re denying everything so you won’t think about it?”
“Yeah, pretty much.”
“Twilight, if you always deny how you feel, then you’ll never find true love. Trust your auntie Pinkie Pie just this one time.”
The lavender mare smiled slightly. “I know, but if I told him I liked him he’d probably run away.”
Pinkie Pie tilted her head slightly. “Well, do you like him?”
“No. I don’t know. I don’t think so.”
“You don’t think or you don’t want?”
“I-I-I don’t know,” stuttered Twilight.
Pinkie put a hoof on Twilight’s shoulder and kindly said “Twilight, if there’s one thing you should never do it’s fight love. So don’t deny it. If you like him you like him. If you don’t you don’t. You’ll know soon enough… And you do have to admit that he did turn out to be rather cute.”
Twilight couldn’t help but giggle. “Yeah he is kind of cute.”
Pinkie Pie smiled and jokingly shoved Twilight’s shoulder. “See you do have a crush on him you liar!”
Twilight blushed slightly and jokingly said “Oh shut up Pinkie Pie.”
----------
Spike was curled up in his sheets crying his eyes out. ‘Why!?’ he thought, ‘What did I do wrong? I tried everything to get her to like me! She hates me! God why does she hate me!?’
The little dragon pulled the sheets over his head and used them to dry up some of his tears. However, they were quickly replaced by new ones. “I just love her so much,” he said to himself, in between a sobbing fit.
“Hey Spike,” Twilight said happily, but this happiness was quickly replaced with concern, fore as she trotted towards him, it became immediately apparent that something was very wrong. “Oh my gosh Spike! What happened?”
The young dragon quickly took his sheets and threw them off of him. He then turned to Twilight and screamed “Shut up and get out!”
Twilight had a look of utter shock and disbelief on her face. “Spike?! What’s wrong?! What happened?!”
“You! You’re what happened! All you ever do is lie!”
Twilight began to put a hoof out towards Spike, when suddenly he swatted it away. “Don’t touch me you selfish jerk!”
Twilight couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She’d never seen Spike this upset in her entire life. “Spike please! What’s wrong?!” As Twilight pleaded with Spike, the first tears were beginning to form in her eyes as well.
The young dragon quickly jumped out of his bed and stood right in Twilight’s face. “After all I’ve done you go and do this! You’re just like Rarity!”
“Spike, what did I do!? Please just tell me!”
“I heard every word of you and Pinkie’s conversation! If you hate me so much why didn’t you just tell me!?”
“Spike! No! I don’t hate you! I do lik-“
“More lies Twilight! Really!?”
“No Spike!”
Suddenly, the little dragon ran over to the door, but before her ran out he turned back to Twilight. “I cared about you! I cared about you so much! And look where it got me!”
“Spike please!”
“No! I don’t feel like listening to anymore of your lies!” And with that Spike shot down the stairs.
“Spike! Please wait!” pleaded Twilight, but by the time she reached the staircase Spike had already left the library.
----------
The young dragon slammed the door shut and looked over to see Pinkie Pie staring at him with a very confused look on her face. “I took your advice Pinkie! And look at what happened!” screamed Spike, still with tears streaming down his face.
Pinkie Pie couldn’t believe what she was seeing, but before she could speak, Spike ran down the street as fast as he could.
----------
Twilight was sitting on her bed, looking over at Spike’s bed, and trying to stop crying. She had no idea what to do or what to say. No book was going to help her with this either. “Oh god why did I have to say those stupid things!? I do like you Spike! I do!” she yelled to herself.
As she looked over at Spike’s bed, she caught sight of his journal through her tears. Twilight always promised never to read it, but she had to know what was going on in Spike’s head, despite the fact that she had a pretty good guess. So she slowly made her way over to it and flipped to the last few pages.
“Oh my gosh.”
First! Oh mah god that was goood!
Can't wait 'till next chapter!
905932 Thanks!
Well, that went well.
Sweet
HOLY MOTHER SHIT I'M FEATURED!!!
well i really don't like twike but this is a good story its probably really good but my bias is making me not like it as much so im not good at judging quality but its worth following
810831 OMG man im on my school laptop
well i guess that's what i get for clicking on links
906067 I just find calling Celestia god a little weird.
I mean it's like saying "Oh my Obama" to me.
906084 What? It's just Solja Boy freaking out.
It never gets old for me.
Except Celestia is a Goddess, basically...
That being said, this is so awesome.
May I make a suggestion?
I have not read the story yet, but the description you give kinda gives away a good probably half of the fic. If I were you, I would try to make it a bit more vague and perhaps not give away so much, less people just thing "oh well the description said X and Y and Z happened, so that means A and B and C are just gonna happen next. No point in reading then."
Just a suggestion
906159 I suck t descriptions... But that actually only gives away about half of chapter one...
This is a great story even though i always saw Twi and Spike as like brother or sister or even mother and son. Keep up the awesome work.
906179
All of the description happens at chapter one???
...You watching your pace there buddy?
906416 Pretty much... Yeah...
Love it

man...do you know how weird it is to go from smashing in zombie heads with a nine iron, to being all emotional for two pastel colored cartoon characters!
sigh
Oh well, time to go read more ponies while planning how to execute my subordinates with pens.
That certainly did not go well. Where'll Spike run to? Guess I'll have to wait and find out.
Congrats on being featured. It's well deserved!
denver.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw265_okay-11.png
Shit just got real
oh well back to black ops until next chapter comes
906511 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!
906507 I'm thinking Applejack or Applebloom.
And thank you!
After all I’d love to have my best friend in the whole world with me.
I'd love to have my best friend with me
have my best friend
Best friend.
That brings back some familiar feelings of getting friend-zoned haha.
Ya know what I noticed about my favorite pairing even thought of....everytime they get into a fight, Spike runs away....can we maybe, I don't know....try something new for once, like him having to sleep down stairs, or being locked out of the house or even making him older by at least a few years...don't get me wrong, Spike's a complete badass.....but maybe we who are such fans would not get dissed on so harshly if we did not keep hi a baby dragon all the time, ya know? Anyway...just a suggestion, and congrats on being featured...how does one become such?
906826 Well he runs away for because something interesting is about to happen at Sweet Apple Acres... You'll see...
Oh you just need to get a crap load of likes.
906093
Naah. Don't think so. Look. Obama is a human like every other human being in the whole world.
He is nothing special, just someone we entrust our wealth and safety and btw he was elected after all.
Celestia on the other hand is different of all other ponies in Equestria exept for Luna. They are both
alicorns and have the best features of all pony races combined in them. Moreover the ponies of
Equestria see them as their godesses, because they have the ability to raise the moon and the sun.
They also rule this world, because they are the most powerful beings there and know how to handle it.
So it's very likely to say "Oh Celestia" or "Mother of Luna" there. Just my trail of thought. Still a great story.
But seriously, sometimes I wish to jump in these stories and tell them that I'm facehoofing at their behavior
the whole time, because they just act so bucking dumb that my head is starting to hurt.
No offense thou.
No hard feelings?
Bronydragon
All these feels..
908225 Damn you're good! wanna spell check chapter seven?
there,there, twilight. reading someone elses private thoughts always makes you feel better. I know it makes me feel better when i'm down.
Is it a bad thing that I cackled evily when Spike overheard what Pinkie and Twilight were talking about?
My friend, while I feel the pacing is a bit fast, I am enjoying this very much, and I greatly want to see the next chapter as soon as possible.
OK. No. Just... no.
A bit of miscommunication can happen. It can even be beneficial for the plot. But darn it, be frugal about it! When idiot ball is passed around too much, story becomes pointless to read - what`s the point in rooting for characters if they are flagging morons?
Until this chapter, things were pretty nice and reasonable. But damn if Spike wasn`t a knuckledragging cretin in this one. For crying out loud, if he were SO stupid, he would`ve never figured out he`s got no chance with Rarity to begin with.
Have a thumbs down for making me exclaim "Why would you do that?" out loud.

906022 Uhm... I'm pretty sure this is like... the 2nd or 3rd chapter of this that's been Featured...
Maybe... I don't know.
Regardless, this was great, as usual, but it felt a tad rushed... It didn't seem like there was really much you could have done to lengthen it other than just drag everything out (which is also bad, obviously), but it still felt like everything happened too quickly...
Plot progression and all that, I suppose...
I don't know, you're the one who got Featured, after all.
906625 Yeah... Shitty deals...
912030 I did that because the next chapter has a scene that could only be reached by Spike running away. Also Spike is stupid because he's so in love with Twilight. Basically when ever he has a crush on someone he'll think about every detail about why he thinks she likes him. The same is done in reverse this time.
912411 I know it's a little fast but if I throw in some filler to slow it down it'll just get boring.
914923
OK, let me set things straight for you.
If "next scene" demands you change your heroes into flagging morons, it is usually a much better idea to change the next scene, not the heroes.
If you absolutely have to use it, there were better ways of doing it.
For example, have Spike overhear the part of conversation between Twilight and Pinkie. Let him realize that throwing a tantrum to Twilight at this point would mean nothing good - Twilight didn`t promise him anything, as of yet. So, accusing her of lying is rather stupid, if you take in account that she said nothing that could be even misconstrued as lie.
At this point, have Spike "realize" that Ponyville holds very little opportunity for him to actually find romance, and have him prepare to leave. Have him reason this out to Twilight - "Twilight, I need to go out and see the world. I`ve been your assistent for all my life, and I think I`ve grown complacent with that. Love won`t go looking for me if I sit in the library all day - no, I have to go out and seek it out on my own." Have Twilight be less then enthused, but having no heart to deny that request... Only to realize her own affections after a while, in the classic "absence makes the heart grow fonder"fashion - and have her depart after Spike.
DAMN YOU, YOUR LOVE STORY, AND ANYTHING ELSE TO DO WITH AFFECTION TO HELL!........ugh, sorry I'm encountering some problems right now. I really like this story, so much to the point where I have sat on this site for an hour straight waiting for you to update. *love song starts playing on ipod* "Dammit why can't I be lucky enough to find someone who loves me back as much as I love them?" *starts tearing up* "I fucking hate my life sometimes..."
The Master of Madness, signing-Oh to hell with it I'm too depressed right now
925101 Well fuck... I've been having writers block lately... I'm trying to have ch. 7 up in a few days, but I don't like my writing right now... In other words everything I write is shit.
And what you should do is read some scary fics. It'll get your mind off of things. Getting your mind off of shit always helps me. Also, I learned this first hand, TURN OFF ALL MUSIC OR ELSE YOU'LL FEEL WORSE!
911354 It's okay. I write about mass murder a lot anyways.
And I know. The pacing is a bit fast, but if I add filler it'll just get boring.
925139 But I love music! Music is the one thing that keeps me going. I let music influence me, control me. You might even say that music is the reason why I read love fics in the first place. I still don't know why, but I find some sort of comfort in having my emotions tugged at while reading sad love fics. I think it's because sometimes I like to know that I'm not the only one who has romance problems. Also, NO, NEVER AGAIN! THOSE THINGS ARE WHAT MADE ME WHAT I AM TODAY: A SADISTIC, DISTURBED THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD GUY WHO HAS BARELY ANY FRIENDS, DEMENTIA, DEPRESSION, INSOMNIA AND A STRANGE OBSESSION WITH COVERING UP EMOTIONAL PAIN WITH LOVE FOR CATS AND DOGS! I'm sorry, I have problems. There is a beast inside of me. It feeds off of negative emotions and thoughts. My sanity is hanging by a thread as it is. I'm surprised that I haven't gone crazy and killed someone by now. I had a very troubled childhood.
NOTE: Ha! If you think that your writing is bad, you should read my story. SPOILER: It's absolute crap, and I admit it. I'm not good at writting. I'm getting better, but I still suck
The Master of Madness, signing off.
916010
Actually...that would have been a hell of a lot better than what happened, thinking about it. And even more, not knowing what the next scene really is, I can't say for certain that it was worth it.
925146
I wrote a story about Discord winning instead of losing, have a story crossing themes of Resident Evil with MLP FIM, and I laughed, and I mean I fricking laughed while reading Silent Ponyville. I am one sick cookie, to paraphrase chancellor puddinghead.
As for that, not if you do it right. You have to make the filler not seem like filler.
That awful feeling you get when you see a favorite update and it's NOT The Twilights of Our Hearts.
MOAR.
Wow, Spike can't catch a break...
In all honesty though, I think this is one of the best Spike x Twilght fics I read so far; the way you deliver the emotion in the story is perfect IMO. As soon as I read the first scene in the first chapter, I was hooked. Compared to other authors, I think you might be one of the best. So congrats, you have yourself a new fan.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
935038 Woah! Thank you so much!
This is a very cute story. I enjoyed reading it, and look forward to more. Your writing does need some fine-tuning, though, and I caught a number of mistakes. I'm listing the most glaring of them below, but a good thorough proofreading of the entire story would be a good idea.
