Back at Applejack’s home in her room. She is in her bed, but is stuck thinking about past events. She then begins to remembers the time when ‘Spike was still heart broken as he told how Rarity had left late at night while leaving messages for all of her friends. Spike caught her as she was waiting for the train and he told her that liked her a lot, but instead of facing it head on, she just told him to wait for when she returned and then she will give him her answer.
Spike waited so long after that. Almost every day he just sat on the bench by the trains hoping she would arrive with an answer. Instead one year later everypony got invitations to her wedding ceremony in Canterlot. When Spike caught wind of it... well I don’t want to remember that ever again.
When the day of the wedding came, Spike had planned to make a scene, but when he saw how she smiled at the altar, he just walked out. If it weren’t for the fact that I was one of the bride’s girls, she would have gone after him. Somepony did go after him at least. Spike’s depression lasted for months. I was worried Spike would never get out of it or do something worse, but over time Spike finally got better one step at a time.
Twilight monitored him since she was not expecting that this would leave such an impact. Like a mother protecting her child. Everypony wanted to help Spike get better and we eventually got through to him. We couldn’t hate Rarity for liking another pony, but how she handled the problem was what got us. Only Rainbow, Twilight, and I really know what happened to Spike.
Even after he got better, I looked out for Spike. I made sure that when he was looking for work, that he would work for me so I could keep a close watch. Everything was going great until she returned. I was so worried that Spike would go berserk or break down again upon seeing her return. I even went to Twilight early in the morning to express my concerns. I am glad that nothing happened.
When Rainbow told me that she thinks Rarity was going to use Spike again, I got worried. Both of them alone and Rarity didn’t even seem to mind so much. I am glad that Rainbow went to watch over him. I had to do my secret lesson with Fluttershy. After the lesson, I had to see how things were going and I saw Rainbow and Rarity fighting about something. I was about to break in there, but then Spike stopped the fighting and then Rainbow flew out the door.
I kept watching all the way to the end in secret and noticed how Rarity was trying to seduce Spike. That got me furious, but if I had entered, that would have made things awkward. I am glad that Spike was as dumb as a rock to not notice what she was doing. I lost track of time from spying so long that I had to rush to do a delivery.
After the delivery, I had to go to Sugarcube corner to pick up some ingredients and noticed Spike being stared down by Rarity, Rainbow, and Pinkie. That was a hairy situation, but then... those dreams Spike had. Why wasn’t I in them. I had done so much for Spike. I just wished that he noticed me as well.’
Wait, what? You never mentioned Rarity being married. I don't even know.

I didn't mention why Rarity went to Canterlot. I never mentioned why she was gone for three years. I never mentioned why Spike was so scared to see her again and why everypony was terrified of what would happen. and so on and so forth. We havent even hit the biggest twist.
1707950 so she got devoriced and now thinks that she can use spike as a fall back.,...
words can not express the rage i am felling right now
and i will leave it at that
Poor AJ. :
1707950 That she's no longer with him. My point was more that such a large reveal needed more fleshing out then 100 words in a 600 word chapter.
Saying Rarity didn't handle it well is an understatement. Spike goes to tell her he loves her as she leaves for Canterlot she tells him to wait for her to come back to hear her answer and then getting wedding invitations a years later? Pretty sure he knew by then what her answer was.

Pretty sure he knew by then what her answer was. Rarity kinda does seem to just use Spike for free labor and leads him on. You'd have to be a rock to not notice how Spike feels about Rarity and if she didn't feel the same way about Spike why has she never said a thing to him?
Anyone else now runt'en for the underdog?
So if Rarity was married, then what happened to that stallion? Did she divorce him?
1708215
I sort of see what you mean. I guess I will add a bit more since I do feel that a bit was left out. Keep in mind this is all in AJ’s head and these were her memories.
1707950
Pinkie and Fluttershy has a crush on Spike ?
1724651
I can already see Twilight putting up a shield around the library and yelling at her five friends to leave poor Spike alone. He's just a wittle dragon
Hmm, so far we have
whos either married or divorced who figures out she does have feelings for Spike
whos empathy for Spike's heartbreak turned into friendship and then a crush
similair to RD but in more of a Spike is a hard worker and tough as nails versus he's a sports lover and flyer
seems neutral, she probably already has a stallion eyed up but is just waiting to strike, like a tiger
um... I don't know.... that is if you cared anyway.

That is a good quick summary of the story’s characters.
Fluttershy needs more story time. Oh well, I will continue to update this story more frequently this month.
1707950
What's this secret lesson AJ learned from Fluttershy ?
Well that was alot to overlook but, atleast it out there. Hope you update soon.
SpikeDASH?! oh, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME! I am very excited to read it!
pooooooor AJ ;A;
Oooo Spike harem...wait O.o do they even have harems in Equestria
2013890
As far as nature shows, most animals that run in groups apparently has serveral females to only one to possible 3 males....so a harem is possible...it's a little strange that the male in this potential group is the dragon, not another equine counterpart (like a pony, zebra, etc.) while all of the female protagonists are essentially mares. Plus, it's Equestria, so who knows?
Off left field, I'm getting a little stalker vibe with Rarity. Girl has married someone, apparently for at least 2 yrs, didn't even bother to tell her friends that she was getting married, much less Spike. Apparently, with her returning to Ponyville, I'm getting she's gotten either divorced (like in real life) or separated from the mystery partner, and now all of a sudden wants to basically be with Spike again. One slight problem, Rarity--SPIKE DOESN'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE!!!!! YOU SAID THAT TO HIM 3 YEARS AGO W/O A SINGLE WORD THAT YOU DIDN'T LOVE HIM THEN, SO WHY NOW???!!!??!!!
You kept switching from third to first in this chapter be sure not to do such unless it needs to be done for it's hard to read. I hate Rarity, she is such a bitch, I hope she losing everything in the devorice That would be awesome to see all the mare but Rarity fall for Spike wonder if Derpy will be in this?
1847376 I just remembered that I made a Spike/Vinyl romance if you wish to look it over my friend

You sir give me new hope to continue this. I was thinking about just leaving it off for awhile while I finish off my first story, but then I now decided to finish this and my first one. Make everyone happy and stuff like that. Also the “4th chapter” is just a special and little treat for some viewers to make everything a little more interesting. I mean it looked pretty one sided. This story is definitely not one sided. three love interests , two supporting ponies atm , and one missing guardian . I say things are getting pretty up in here.
2086122 Well I'm very glad to give you aid and that you have hope for it, I really enjoyed what you had put in it, I'm very impressed. I like how you give Pinkie and Flutter's a chance, I'm glad your still writing this, trut me it's hard when you do many chapters but all you need is some music then the will to write, I'm hoping to see more. Kepp writing my friend, you're doing a great job
Nice!! I'm very please with this work though my counterpart has some news he wishes to regale you with. I think he's overreacting.
Yeah... No. I hope Rarity loses Spike in the end. She trampled his heart spit on his ego and now wants to come back in and steal him? Nuh-uh you put that Raribitch in her place at the bottom of the pack, behind Big Mac in probable love interest. Yeah you heard. Then I want you to
Okay I'm jut going to stop him there. He'll kill me if I erase what he wrote but for everything before the Raribitch comment I agree with him.
Man, this update're very legend. Gives a geito accelerate it.
I like Rarity, but here ... she is a slut! How can she do that with Spike! Damn, guys!
I was hoping to pair Spike and Dash, but after the declaration of AppleJack was really felt for her.
Now I do not know. I think I would like a pair of Apple and Spike, but honestly I'm still in doubt because of the Rainbow. Hope all ends well for the two somehow.
Already Rarity deserves no more Spike, she lost him forever. They could reconcile his friendship, of course, helping her back to her husband. Nothing else, of course.
1847376 Dear Malljong
if you haven't noticed, you're a legendary writer here. When you review a story, that's like judgement day, for the author
I am glad that Spike was as dumb as a rock to not notice what she was doing.
Hey, I resent that
