Chapter Seven - The Shipping has been Doubled!
Pinkie Pie stood at the desk in her room, quill held in her mouth, rocking on her hooves. Several ideas hit her at once, and she quickly scribbled them down onto the paper, then realizing the quill was dry, she dipped it in her ink bottle and tried again.
“Hmm….” She tapped her chin, and felt something brush her leg. “Not right now, Gummy! I’m in ‘thinking mode!’”
The pink party pony sat back, rubbing her temples with her hooves. “Alright, the ‘mouth-to-mouth’ didn’t work… and I accidentally gave Twi and Dash a sleep medicine, not that plant I found in the Everfree! That stuff always makes ME really happy.” She picked up a baggie of some odd plant, and sniffed it blissfully. “Ahhh…”
Gummy nipped at her hoof. “Oh! I get it, you’re hungry!” Pinkie gasped. “Oh, I’m so sorry! I forgot to feed you, didn’t I?”
Discarding the bag, she bounced to the closet, and pulled a bag of gator food from atop a shelf.
“Here you go, little guy!” she poured it into his bowl and he eagerly started munching.
“Now,” she said dramatically waving a hoof above her head. “My plans must go on!”
She frowned, thinking.
And she thought.
And thought.
And she thought some more. “This won’t do!” she stomped a hoof. “My friends are hurting, and they need to be made happy again!”
“I’m gonna have to be even more stealthy… and then… WAIT!” She clapped her hooves excitedly. “I’ve got it! Yes!”
She pulled a party horn out of nowhere and grinned. “Things are about to get heart-warming!”
~~~
Spike anxiously knocked on the door to Carousel Boutique, the little box held behind his back.
Are my spines straight? Are my scales shiny enough? I hope I don’t have bad breath! He thought, rocking on his heels. And then the door opened, revealing Rarity; and all of his worries melted away just looking into her beautiful eyes.
“Oh, hello Spike, dear. Did you need something?”
There was something different about her, he noticed but didn’t dwell on it. “Uh... yeah! I um…” Think Spike! “I just came to visit! Twilight’s busy, and I was just bored. Yeah.”
“Oh, yes of course.” Rarity’s expression glazed over for about a split second, but then she smiled at him. “Please, do come in.”
Spike couldn’t help but wonder what was making her seem different; but he just couldn’t quite put his claw on it. He stepped in and she shut the door behind him.
Finally, Spike realized why she looked different. “You’re not wearing any makeup!”
Rarity blushed, turning her head away. “Oh, yes… I uh… forgot, I suppose. Been busy as a bee, lately!” she gave a nervous chuckle.
“I think you look amazing!” Spike said, and Rarity gave him a sideways glance.
“You do?”
“Yeah!” Spike replied, “I think you look great without it!”
“Oh no,” Rarity waved a hoof dismissively. “I do not – I mean, I suppose I do – but it doesn’t compare to when I wear my makeup!”
“I think you look really nice,” Spike said. “Like… the ‘real’ you. Not that I thought the ‘make-up’ you was fake,” he added quickly.
“Thank you, Spike.” Rarity said thoughtfully, closing an eye and placing a hoof over it. She did feel better without all that eye-shadow caking her eyelids, sometimes it was nice to just wash it off and feel natural. She’d never actually thought about it this way before.
“So… are you making any dresses or something? Anything I can help with?” Spike interrupted her contemplation, and she thought for a moment. Actually, this was giving her an idea…
“Idea~~~” she sang, pretty much repeating what I just told you guys. “Yes, I just got the greatest idea! Come along, Spike!”
Spike eagerly followed her towards her desk, and she pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil, and started sketching down. Spike waited behind her patiently, keeping quiet so as not to interrupt her.
“Yes, yes.” She murmured to herself, “Perfect! Oh, I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this before!”
“What is it?” Spike asked, and she smiled at him.
“Oh, you’re comment gave me the most wonderful idea!” she clapped her hooves together, azure eyes twinkling.
She opened her mouth to speak again, and then stopped, giving him a funny look. “What’s that behind your back?”
“Oh!” Spike took a step back, holding the little box in front of him. “It’s… it’s… for you,” he handed it to her and she took it gently in her blue levitation.
“Oh, how nice!” she smiled.
She opened the box, and Spike averted his eyes. Would she like it?
Rarity opened the box, and her eyes grew big. “Oh my, it’s… beautiful!” she gasped.
~~~
Meanwhile, at Rainbow Dash’s house…

o_O. THAT CLIFFHAGER. YOU ARE EVIL SIR/MADAM.
i love this story and the chapter is good set up for the next one.
I'll be waiting...............
first
Wait...What just happened? Did pinkie become the narrator and break the 4th wall?
1760567
That
That is evil.
You give us nothing, you tease!
Bah! *pouts*
1760571
I will just take that as a yes...
so, gators are a common pet in ponyville?
No, not a cliffhanger!
1760628 Cliffhanger, hanging from a clifffff~
And that's why he's called cliff hanger~
Oh you e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/trollface.png you.
I started reading 'And she thought some more' and after in the voice from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"
1760644
holycrap i remember that show o.o
1760719 Oh gawd
1760734 To be honest, the Cliff-hanger bit was the only reason I used to watch that library show - it was called Between the Lions or something, wasn't it? XD
Pfff That is not a real cliffhanger. You guys are some crycliffhangerbabies.
Dat Cliffhanger.

1760755
yep!
:D
1760607
What would the gator food even be made of, seeing as their strictly carnivorous....?
1760755
Yes, it was, that was a pretty good show.
1761014 I don't know maybe there are shops in Equestria for griffons, and maybe the griffon's sell meat, and maybe Pinkie orders gator food from one of those
Pinkie, just what are you up to? I shall continue reading to find out!!!
1761183 She's in her bedroom
"I accidentally gave Twi and Dash a sleep medicine, not that plant I found in the Everfree! That stuff always makes ME really happy.”
This explains sooo much
1761251
Ok such small update is disrespect to your readers. Even if this size was actually planned, the chapter of this size with little to no development is what I consider lazy writing.
1760607 Of COURSE not, silly! She just has gator food stashed in her room in case of Gator emergency!
1760755 (Yes, that's the name of the show) CLIIIIIIFF HANGEEER! HANGING FROM A CLIFF! AND THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLED, CLIIIIFF HANGEEEEER!!!
That cliffhanger... you're such a tease.
Also, the whole Happy plant thing with Pinkie was both random and funny. Good to get some insight on what's been going on in her head, with all the "shipping" she's been doing.
IT'S MY DICK IN A BOX!
dick in a box baybay.
yourpopfilter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Dick-in-a-Box-300x222.jpg
and just like that Rarilight is over which is a shame because that seems to be the least popular mane 6 pairing and so i liked the parts with rarilight due to it being so uncommon.
otherwise all i have to say is that it was a good chapter even if it was really short
Whut? Rarilight just ended like that? Really? oO;
Somehow pretty hard to believe given Rarity´s words/actions the past chapters. I doubt she´d just throw herself at the next guy/girl who compliments her especially if said guy a) always compliments her b) is a child and c) a dragon. Rarity´s too good-hearted to either use Spike as a re-bound and too romantic to just forget about her big love for Twi just like that.
Oh well, maybe i misunderstood which can happen when theres not much to read and lots to interpretate.
Don't do it Pinkie! You have so much to live for!
What does that even mean?
I don't know. It was funny in my head.
1761916 Would you happen to have read "Let's Find You a Date!"? It's got Rarilight, but I've said too much.
1760644 Oh God, I remember that xD
And I also thought the "and she thought some more" in a Grinch narration.
1761464 Sorry
1761954 No no, it's not over 'just like that', just watch :3
Spike has the Red Button in the box, doesnt he?

yes i have read that story and Damn it,Twilight,I love you! but apart from those two i cannot remember other stories with this pairing.
I love how nobody's curious as to what Spike got Rarity
1763866
The reason is that nobody cares about Spike,so we couldn't give less of a damn even if we tried.

In order of most likely to creepiest:
>Some kind of gemstone?
>A life-size Twilight plush?
>A Twilight-wig for Spike to wear, made from her actual hair clippings that he's saved from her haircuts?
Wait wait wait... That's all we get after weeks of waiting? You're cruel beyond words!
1767007 You mean my user name or my real name? XD
1763399 *FUCKING SLAM* Woot 1mil
