Ch.2
We last left off with Spike taking off after he left the castle. We see him flying through the sky waving at ponies passing by or other ponies greeting him when they saw a familiar purple dragon flying over them.
Spike enjoyed feeling the wind throughout his entire body. "Having the wind against my face feels so great. I can see why Rainbow Dash is always pumped when she flies, and show off while she is at it." Spike felt thrilled to be able to fly anywhere he could go. Instead of walking or asking Twilight if she could teleport him, or having her to take him there.
He was having the time of his life in the sky, until he recently remembered something. "Dang it. I was having so much fun and left the castle in a hurry that I didn't check what time it was.", Spike realized." Luckily I know where to go." So, Spike went to ponyvilles' clock tower that was in front of Fluttershy's cottage. 'Okay it's 9:30 AM. Which means I'm thirty minutes early in meeting Rarity at the Jewelry Shop at 10 o'Clock.', Spike thought after he arrived at the tower. "This is great!", Spike beamed with enthusiasm. "That means I can surprise her with something amazing." Woo hoo!!" Spike said shooting his arm into the air.
Once Spike had his great idea, he flew slowly around ponyville thinking what to get Rarity. "Hmm. What should I get her? Chocolates? Nah. I think Rarity wouldn't want to have sweets before lunch. How about a necklace? Nope, bad idea. That would make me look desperate, plus where am I going to get the bits for it. Hmm." Spike kept thinking for a while until it finally hit him. "I got it. I know what to get her. Flowers, and not just any flowers. Her favorite ones, white roses. And it's a good thing I know the ponies who can help me get them." Spike imagined how the day would go. First, Spike would surprise Rarity with the bouquet roses. She would be speechless at first, then she'll cry tears of joy with how thoughtful my gift is, I might get a kiss out of it if I'm lucky. Then we'll go to some place nice to eat where I can charm her as we have conversion. That will show her how I can be comfortable and enjoyable to be around with. Lastly, when I take her back home, that's when I'll tell her. "I think today is going to be my lucky day, I can feel it."
With that being said, Spike flew straight to Daisy, Lily and Rose's Flower shop. As he was getting close he could see that Daisy and Lily were outside selling flowers to customers who were either getting gifts for their loved one/ones or their soon to be special somepony.
"Hey Lily, Daisy.", Spike greeted. "You girls having a wonderful morning?"
"Hello Spike.", Daisy said.
"Hi Spike.", Lily said.
"We were.", Daisy began. "But it just got a hundred percent better once you arrived, isn't that right Lily.", Daisy asked.
"Correct you are Daisy.", Lily answered while they both gave Spike bedroom eyes.
Spike just stood there with his eyes closed, nervously laughing. "Heh heh. Yeah, right. Anyway, I came by so I could buy some white roses. Would you ladies care to help me out?", Spike asked.
"White roses you say.", Lily repeated. "I think you might want to see Rose (Roseluck) who is inside the shop if it's about roses. If it was about lilies then I could help you there."
"Or if you wanted Daisies then 'I'm your mare'." Daisy emphasized, getting a little closer to Spike.
Spike just continued the conversation, not knowing what Daisy was referring. "Rose huh? Alright then, I'll go and see her inside. Thanks girls."
But before Spike could go inside, something or somepony pulled back his arm. "If it's not too much trouble. Could you tell us who are the roses for?", Lily asked.
"Puh-lease Lily. Why even ask that. Everypony knows that Spike is madly in love with Rarity. Of course he'd get them for her"
"I know that Daisy but we don't if they are for her. For all we know he might be giving those flowers to another mare."
"No, she's right. I am getting those roses for Rarity."
"See, I told you.", Daisy boasted.
"See, they're part of my plan to woo her in order to get the confidence to finally tell her that I love her. ", Spike explained to them. "I've been friends with her for so long... I know what she likes, dislikes, what her are hobbies and how she acts like a drama queen over little things. I love everything that defines her, be it good or bad. That's why I've decided to stop hiding my feelings and ask her out."
"That is just so... So wonderful! Rarity is very lucky to have somedragon that cares so deeply for her!" Lily cupped her own two cheeks, swaying her head as she swooned over Spikes' determination to win Rarity's heart.
"I'll say. I wished I had somepony who care about me deeply as you do for her.", Daisy added wiping a tear from her eye, feeling that she will never find her very own knight and shiny scales.
"Don't worry girls, I'm sure you both will find your special someponies. You both are very beautiful with lots of charming features. If my heart wasn't set on Rarity, I wouldn't mind asking either one of you on a date.", Spike said with a toothy grin, trying to bring their hopes up.
Both Daisy and Lily were left speechless. They just looked at Spike with their faces flushed and hearts beating so fast they could burst. "Thanks Spike", They both smiled at his compliment.
"No problem girls. Well, I'll go talk to Rose now. Talk to you girls later.", Spike waved.
"You know, if it Rarity turns you down. We'll be delighted to take you out anytime.", Daisy whispered.
"What was that?"
"It was nothing. Right Lily."
Lily giggled at Daisys' comment. "Heh heh. Yeah. It was nothing Spike."
Spike just shrugged it off and entered the shop.
Before Spike entered the shop, we see Rose sitting behind the register with a stallion. While Spike was talking with Lily and Daisy outside, Rose was exchanging bits with said customer.
Rose waved goodbye. "Thanks for stopping by. Come again."
After the stallion left the shop, Rose's expression went from joyous to a gloomy one and then face planted on the counter.
"Ugh. I don't get it. Out of all the Stallions that have entered and left, not one of them got little smitten looking at me or look my way, except to try and buy something. I even put in the effort to put makeup on to look a little more attractive, but I got no reaction what so ever. Some of them I can understand since they were for their loved ones but most were just gifts for family members or to make a room look more lively. Sigh, I should just live the rest of my life as a cat mare."
As Rose was venting out her frustration she heard the door open and sees a familiar purple dragon enter the store.
"Hello. Rose are you in here?", Spike asked.
Rose quickly changed her expression and put on a fake smile so that Spike wouldn't notice she was feeling down. "Hey there Spike. What can I help you with today?"
Before Spike could give an answer, he became a little awestruck when he saw Rose but pushed it off because he needed to prioritize on what he came here for. "I came today so I could buy some white roses. Preferably a bouquet of white roses. I'll be so grateful if you have them."
"As a matter of face we just got a shipment of them today. Excuse me while I go get them", Rose said.
"Thank you so much.", Spike bowed.
While Rose went to go grab the bouquet she asked Spike what was the occasion. "So, Spike. Care to tell me what you plan to do with these white roses, if that's not too much to ask?"
"Certainly.", Spike answered. "What I'm planning on is to get these roses which is part of my plan to woo Rarity and ask her to be more than friends. I've always wanted to tell her but I would chicken out at the end. But not this time. I'm going through with it till the very end."
"That sounds so Romantic.", Rose cooed. "Since this is a special occasion I think I'll give you a discount. How does 50 bits sound to you?"
"I believe that's a fair price." Spike took out his wallet and got the 50 bits. "Here you go." He gave her the bits and Rose gave him the flowers. "Thanks so much Rose."
"No problem. Come back anytime.", Rose waved goodbye.
As Spike was about to leave, he stopped and turned his head sideways to look back at Rose. "By the way, you look very stunning Rose."
Rose was flabbergasted to what Spike just said. "Excuse me?"
"Your makeup.", Spike pointed out. "I think it looks good on you." Spike said having a red hue across his face while he scratched his face with his finger.
"When did you..."
"I noticed it the moment I saw you, and was even taken aback for a moment. You should be careful though, you might end up having this store filled with stallions just to see you, haha... But if I'm being honest, I think you look beautiful even without it.", Spike beamed with a sincere smile. As he was about to leave he took a quick look at the clock to see how much much time he had left. "Well, I'm going to head out. See you later."
And with that, Spike left the shop. If he would have stayed a few seconds more, he would have seen Rose with her face as red as a tomato. "He notice. Out of all the stallions that came in, he was the only one that noticed. What's more is that my heart is still racing no matter how many times I replay it over and over. I now see why most of the mares in ponyville have taken a liking to him. And now I think I've fallen for him as well."
After Spike exited the shop he took off into the sky again and went towards Raritys' boutique with her bouquet of white roses.
"Okay. Now that I got the roses, all I got to do now is go meet Rarity. Luckily I checked the time before I left. I have 15 minutes left before 10."
Spike flew across town in a slow and steady pace so he wouldn't harm his present for Rarity. He kept looking down to see if she was already headed towards the Jewelry shop or is still at home getting ready to leave. It took Spike a minute until he spotted Rarity eight feet away from her house talking with somebody never met before.
"Hey Rarityyy!", Spike shouted, slowly descended to the ground while hiding the flowers behind his back.
"Spikey-wikey, darling!" Rarity was a bit confused as to why Spike was meeting them so early. "What are you doing here so early? I thought we were gonna meet up at 10?"
There it was. The nickname that Spike loved to hear. For some odd reason Spike would be filled with pure joy when Rarity called him that.
"Oh yeah, about that. After I finished eating breakfast I kinda left the castle in a hurry without checking what time it was first, heh heh.", Spike explained rubbing the back of his head. "By the way, may I ask who this is." Spike asked looking at said creature.
Meet Sunny Snow, she is a kirin with her coat as white as snow and a light-bluish mane. Her scales and; somewhat clawish hooves are grey.
"Oh, where are my manners. This here is Sunny Snow, she's from the Kirin Village.", Rarity said, extending her right hoof at Sunny. Ever since Applejack and Fluttershys' trip to Kirin Village a while back, kirins have been exploring all over Equestria to experience what they've missed from years of solitude.
"Hi, I'm Sunny Snow. You can call me Snow if you'd like. I hope you don't mind me tagging along." Sunny said, extending her hoof to shake Spike's claw.
Spike extended his arm and shook Sunny's hoof. "Hello, the names Spike Tatsu. Nice to meet you Snow. And no, I would be delighted if you'd join us."
"Well, if we're all set, then lets go." Rarity started to trot to their destination.
But before they could make any further Spike decided it was time to give Rarity her gift. "Before we go Rarity there is something I want to give you." Spike unveiled what he was hiding behind his back and presented them to Rarity. He knew she loved his gift because of the way her eyes widened and how her cheeks were getting very red.
"Why Spike are those white Rose-"
"ROSES!!, Sunny yelled. "I'm achoo so sorry but I'm achoo, extre- achoo -mly allergic to roses."
Sunny just kept sneezing and sneezing that her nose was starting to get red and her eyes were getting watery.
'What do I do', Rarity began in thought. 'I don't want to tell Spike to get rid of them, it would break my heart to hurt him for doing something so thoughtful as this. And I don't want waste time in making him go back to my boutique. I want make sure I have all the necessities for the designs I need to make today. I promised my clientele I would have his wardrobe done by the end of the day. Oh, of all the worst things that could happen, this is the! Worst! Possible! Thing!' Rarity had made her decision and she did not like it, not one bit. "Spikey-Wikey. I'm awful for saying this but could you di- dispose of those."
Spike didn't know what to think. 'Why? Why would she say that. I got these for her so I could show her how I feel. So she can understand that I-' Spike paused for a bit. 'No. I shouldn't be thinking that way. Be reasonable, why would she tell me that with a sorrowful expression if she didn't care. That's enough for me to not succumb to my own greed while another suffers.'
'But Why not?'
Spike quickly looked around to identify where that horrendous voice came from but saw no pony close by them.
"Spikey?...", Rarity called out, feeling guilty that she might have hurt Spike in the most cruelest way.
Spike quickly turned back to Rarity who looked worried about him, he then closed his eyes and took a deep breath to collect himself. "Sure, I understand Rarity." He smiled at her.
Spike looked around too see what to do with the roses. He didn't want to give them to somepony he hasn't known for that long. The only logical thing to do was to throw them away in the trash. Spike headed to one. As he was about to throw them something caught his eye, more like he saw certain pen pal delivering mail to a certain pony. Spike looked backed at the bouquet and thought it be such a waste to throw away these beautiful white roses. So, Spike turned and flew straight to gabby.
"Heyy! Gabbyyy!"
Gabby turned around to see who was calling her and was delighted to see it was Spike. "Hi Spike! How are you?"
Spike landed next to Gabby. "I'm glad I saw you. Here, I want you to take these." Spike presented her the white rose and put it in her talons.
Gabby went wide eyed and her cheeks flushed red all over. "Oh, um. Spike I- I don't know what to say. This is so thou-." But before she could express her gratitude Spike flew off.
"Sorry Gabby. I have to head back now.", Spike yelled, heading back to Rarity and Sunny.
"Gee, I never knew Spike could be so shy.", Gabby said, looking at Spike leave.
Spike landed next to Rarity. "Alright Rarity, I took care of the roses, is Snow okay?", Spike asked.
"Yeah, I'm alright. After you took off I took some allergy medication to help relieve my eyes and sinuses. I'm very sorry that you had to give up those roses for my sake." Sunny said, bowing her head to Spike as she apologized.
"It's fine. I don't mind, things happen sometimes." Spike smiled to show her that everything is okay. "So, are we ready to head out?"
"Yes darling, I'm ready.", Rarity answered.
"Yup. Same here.", Sunny replied.
With that, they were on there way. While walking towards to their destination, Spike popped a question. "So, Snow. Any reason why you wanted to come along with us? If you don't mind me asking?", Spike questioned.
"Not at all.", Sunny began. "You see Spike, I actually wanted to tag along with Rarity so I could to take notes on how she creates her marvelous designs on fashion. The reason for this is because on one of my exploration at Canterlot, I became amazed how most ponies wore amazing and sophisticated clothing. I was so inspired by Canterlots' customs that I wanted to not only make those types of clothes for every kirin in my village! But to show my own wondrous fashion ideas to all of Equestria! I first asked ponies around Canterlot if they could show me the ropes but none would offer to help. Most of them either laughed or told me to get out of their place of business.,
I'm, dreadfully sorry about that Sunny.", Rarity apologize, hoping that Sunny doesn't think that all ponies in Canterlot are jerks. "I guess there are some ponies who still act snobbish."
"It's quite alright Rarity. Most of them looked busy anyway."
"That may be so, but they should at least give some form of help. It was good thing you stumbled upon Sassy Saddles; a friend of mine and told her about how I could lend a helping hoof."
"To Which I was thrilled that you'd actually help me. I thought you'd be a very busy mare since you're famous around Canterlot. Not just because how you saved Equestria countless of times but also help other famous ponies in Canterlot; Photo Finish, Fancy Pants, Coloratura, etc. But most of all is how you put others first than your own." Sunny explained.
Rarity got embarrassed at hearing Sunny praise her. "Oh stop, you're making me blush darling. I'm not all that great."
"Don't be so modest Rarity, you have done a lot of amazing feats through the years. I know because I was there to see those astonishing things, with and w/out the girls being there."
"Flattery will get you nowhere Spikey boo."
As the group kept on discussing with each other, they hadn't notice that they were already at their destination. "Looks like we're here.", Sunny declared.
"We were talking for so long that we hadn't notice how close we were to getting here.", Rarity said. "Shall we?"
"Sure thing.", Sunny replied.
"Like wise.", Spike added.
After two hours from going to the Jewelry Shop then to the fabric store, and Sunny taking notes on how Rarity does her thing. Rarity decided it was time for a break. "Phew, that was a long errand.", Rarity said as all three exited the fabric store.
"I'll say. We've purchased a lot more stuff than we normally do.", Spike added, carrying some bags and boxes while Rarity levitated the other half of their items.
"Yes, indeed. But I think I'm getting quite famished. We should go and get some lunch, care to join us Sunny?", Rarity asked.
"Sorry, but I think i'll pass on this one. I got what I came here to do and I want to get started on what I've learned. Plus, I already made plans to go eat with a friend."
"It's quite alright darling. It was fun having you with us. Though next time you should definitely come." Rarity said, hugging her goodbye.
"I'll be glad too." Sunny said returning the hug.
"Goodbye." Rarity said as she started to leave. "Come along Spike."
"Coming.", Spike responded.
Before Spike could take another step, Sunny pulled him back to say something. "Don't tell Rarity I said this but I lied."
"How come?", Spike asked, wondering why she would lie to her.
"I did it so I could give you two some alone time. I had a feeling that you liked Rarity more than just a friend. The way you would smile and blush every time you spoke with her or how you would glance at her when she wan't looking."
"I was never really good at hiding my feelings.", Spike laughed. "That's why everypony in ponyville knows who I've always liked.
"It's not a bad thing. It's actually one of the good things about you. Which is kinda why I've taking a liking to you.", She said, looking at him with bedroom eyes.
Spike didn't know what to think, he just looked at her with a shocked expression. "Oh, Snow I- I don't know wha-"
"Heh heh. Just kidding." Sunny giggled.
"Spike are you coming? You know you shouldn't keep a lady waiting."
"You should probably go."
"Yeah. I'll see ya.", Spike said.
"Oh, and one more thing.", Sunny stated as Spike was leaving. "When I was speaking with Rarity back at the boutique, it sounded to me that she is very fond of you."
"What, really?! Or are you just messing with me?"
Sunny just laughed and headed the opposite direction. "Who knows?"
Spike ignored what was said and went straight to Rarity.
"What were you talking about with Sunny?" Rarity asked, wondering what took Spike so long.
"Oh, she just wanted to know where she could get some sweets around here. So I told her about Sugarcube Corner and where to go."
"That was nice you darling. Now where should we go eat?", Rarity wondered.
"I think I have just the place."

The story premise is good, but you really need a proofreader or beta reader. There are many grammatical mistakes that made me pause in the middle of reading, breaking up the flow of the story and ruining the immersion.
Yea, i could have reread this but i didnt my mistake. But i do need a proofreader or beta reader; never heard of a beta reader.
