Rainbow Dash?

Authors notes: Hi and welcome back to the story! Sorry if you guys thought it was gone, just real-life problems holding me back, depression, blah blah but who cares about that! next chapter is here.

Spike woke up with a silent groan, gazing around the empty room expecting like nearly any other morning to either hear or see Twilight, but as quick as the hope came it left with his grogginess as he remembered the day before. He wandered down stairs and sighed softly as he glanced around the empty house. He decided not to dwell on it and a grabbed a handful of gems as his eyes fell upon the note Rainbow Dash had left. Reading it while munching on the gems Spike glanced outside and decided now would be a good time to go and find out what she wanted. Wonder how long it will be Twilight is back? Spike wasn't as worried about her departure as he had been. After all there had been numerous times when she had left without a word and returned later on.

Glancing around ponyville, he stood still as he took in the usual hoof-traffic of the ponies, whether it was Applejack setting up her stand or the Mailmare …attempting to deliver her mare. He winced slightly as she ran face first into a building but it didn't seem to faze her. Shaking his head slowly he continued his way to Sugarcube Corner. His mind went back to yesterday and all the things that happened and then back to the present. It had been a lot more busy for him he realized and it didn't look like it was gonna slow down any time soon. Opening the door to Sugarcube Corner he couldn't help but feel the thought was put into stone as he was embraced by the pink, curly maned mare of Sugarcube corner, otherwise known as Pinkie Pie.

"Spike!" she exclaimed happily squeezing him closer to her surprisingly soft fur. He chuckled into her fur as she twirled around with him in her arms. Suddenly she stopped and lifted him straight towards her face. "I knew you were crying but I couldn't find you. "Her ears flattened to the side of her head and her mane laid in a unusual and saddening position. "My tail wiggled, my teeth chattered, and!" for a second her hyper attitude pushed away the depressed one. "I couldn't smile! I knew one of my friends was in deep pain…" Her eyes filled with tears and her mane deflated completely with a pop. "I..I"

Spike couldn't help but gulp and search the room as the mare nicknamed "The smiling party animal" become something he had never seen nor had the unfortunate position of dealing with. Ok Rainbow Dash, if you could pop up or Discord…anypony would do! He sighed softly as he realized he had to deal with this on his own. "Pinkie Pie…there really isn't anything you could of done at the time…"

With a sniffle Pinkie Pie moved her face closer her eyes still filled with tears. "R-really?"

"…but you can help me now by showing me your unbreakable happiness." Spike mentally crossed his claws in hope and watched as the mare's mane poofed back up and her smile came back.

"Ok Spikey-Wikey!" She hugged him tight. "Don't you worry no more sad Pinkie Pie!" She giggled down at him as he smiled back.

They both glanced up in surprise as Rainbow Dash trotted in. Rainbow Dash winced slightly as the sudden warmness filled her chest as she saw Pinkie Pie with Spike in her arms. What the hay? She's just hugging him…She shook her head slightly and glanced up just in time to see Pinkie Pie jump into her usual hug of greeting, completely forgetting the fact that she still had Spike in her arms. "W-wait Pinki-"

Spikes words were cut off as he found himself sandwitched between the two mares.

"Ooopsie" Pinkie Pie giggled pulling him out of the pony sandwitch. "Hi Rainbow Dash, what brings you here today?"

"Pinkie Pie we discussed this…Remember?" Rainbow Dash gave her friend an exasperated look. Rolling her eyes as Pinkie Pie went into deep though to remember what the reason she was even there for, she turned to Spike and waved. "How are you doing this morning?"

"Pretty good, though…" Spike sighed softly. "It's a little weird not having Twilight around." Kinda sucks not having somepony sleeping in the same room. Spike thought as he remembered the many times he hadn't fallen asleep to the rhythmic breathing of Twilight.

"Though?" Rainbow Dash watched his expression as it turned from sadness to a grin as he shook his head. You know I'm here for you so why wont you tell me? Rainbow Dash felt a strange sharp pain in her chest as the question of whether or not he trusted her flashed through her mind. No, of course he trusts me! I'm practically his best friend…aren't I? shaking her head of these "Strange" thoughts she glanced over at Pinkie Pie as a literal light bulb lit over her head.

"Oooooh! Now I remember!" Pinkie Pie grabbed Spike's clawed hand. "I'm going to help you make some cupcakes for your date!" Rainbow Dash chuckled watching Spike, his eyes huge, as he got pulled through the door by Pinkie Pie. That should cheer you up a bit more. She smilled as she trotted out the front door and began to make her way down the street. I think he can manage on his own…she tapped her chin curiously. Now who else could help out Spike? Just then she heard a singsong, cute, and calm voice softly say "Morning Rainbow Dash" she turned to meet the soft blue eyes of Fluttershy, who had a bag on her back, filled to the brim with an assortment of apples and pet foods.

"Hello Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash smiled at her friend. Perfect!

Meanwhile…

"Umm Pinkie pie? Are you sure that's not too much flour?" Spike frowned as he pushed the large chef's hat back on his head as he stared at the large bowl of flour sitting in front of him.

"Of course its not too much silly!" Pinkie Pie poured a bag of sugar into the bowl making Spike wince slightly as he pondered whether or not this was really a good idea.

"Isn't that enough sugar and flour for at least a whole batch of-" his eyes went huge as suddenly the flour-sugar mixture began inflating. "uh Pinkie Pie?" he glanced over at the mare as she stirred some of the whipped topping up, humming softly to herself.

"Uh Pinkie Pie?" He gulped as it grew to the size of a small ball. 'Pinkie Pie we have a problem here.." he could feel the sweat dripping as he gulped, trying to stay calm as possible.

"okayyy! The topping is.." Pinkie Pie cut off staring at the large "Bubble" of flour and sugar. "that doesn't look good." She said smiling.

"Well as long as we don't-" Spike cut off his eyes all but bulging out of his head as Pinkie Pie poked the bubble.

"Pokeeee"

Meanwhile…again…

"Rarity did? Oh poor Spike." Fluttershy glanced down feeling an extreme pain in her chest as her empathy took over. "Is he still down? Maybe I could help out…I mean if it would be alright…" Though she said it inside she felt it didn't matter if it was alright or not, if her friend needed a hoof or two she would be right there to lend it.

"Well that's what I was hoping to ask you about, it really seems he could use a hoof, I mean he only had his eyes on Rarity." Rainbow Dash sighed feeling that warm feeling in her chest again. "I think It would help him move on to see other mares…maybe not to date but to see that you know? We care about him."

Fluttershy nodded. "What about Rarity? What is she saying or doing?" She watched Rainbow Dash's ears flatten and her eyes look down and it was more of an answer than she needed. "Well…he's welcome to stop by anytime."

"Thanks Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash smiled. The two trotted side by side in silence when suddenly Fluttershy remembered.

"Where's Twilight?"

Back at Sugarcube Corner…

"I must admit that was definetly a different way of making cupcakes.." Spike chuckled as he glanced at the platter of finished cupcakes, all just waiting to be frosted.

"Well of course silly! It's also very fast!" Pinkie Pie giggled.

"Just one question…how do we get apart now?" Spike glanced up at Pinkie Pie who was attached by the wet flour to his back.
