Another Great Plan Goes Wrong
Spike was observing Rarity’s house from nearby bushes. That was one of those days when his obssession about the white unicorn was driving him crazy. He couldn’t stop that. He obviously knew that there was a line he couldn’t cross in his urge to be together with her. Therefore, he could be staying in his shelter for a really long time catching glimpses of his crush. From time to time he could come up to the window to see her closer. Sometimes he hated himself for falling in love with her so easily because he was aware of the fact that he had little chances with her.
But why did he have to hide himself? Rarity knew him and he was always welcomed in her boutique or her house. However, Spike thought it would be better to avoid closer contact with her. Observing her from bushes maybe was not really rational but he thought it would be better than gazing at her unconsciously while pretending to help her with her work.
He knew there is virtually no way to even date her but he hoped for this anyway.
This day Spike was really desperate for it. The best idea he could make up was, well, standing up next to Rarity’s house with a ‘free dates for any white-coated pony’ sign. He thought it would have worked if Rarity had come out of the house. He had been standing with the sign for nearly an hour until his crush finally left home. Spike thought it had been worth waiting for her despite other ponies laughing at him.
“Good to see you, Spikey!” Rarity greeted her adorer. “What are you doing here with this sign?”
Spike instinctively hid the sign behind his back. “Um, nothing.” He blushed.
“Oh, Spikey. Are you protesting against something? Show me that, please. Maybe it’s worth being angry.” Rarity laughed trying to go behind Spike’s back.
The dragon was slowly turning around in order to prevent Rarity from seeing the sign. “Where do I get these stupid ideas from?” he asked himself.
“Oh, Spikey. You know I always get what I want.” Rarity smiled using her magic to take the sign from Spike’s claws.
“Oh, that’s not fair!” he shouted.
Rarity read the sign and did a surprised face. “Spikey?”
“Um, you know, I, I, I, um, I always wanted to, tell that,” he mumbled blushing.
“Spike, I didn’t know you like Sweetie Belle!” Rarity exclaimed happily.
“I do what?” Rarity’s answer confused him.
“Well, well, well, so this is why my Spikey-Wikey likes spending time around me,” she said happily. “You seek the occasion to see Sweetie Belle!” Rarity giggled. “Well, Spike, if you really want to see her, come here back in the evening. She will most probably be back from her Cutie Mark Crusading.”
Spike was more than confused. His worst case scenario was Rarity not willing to see him anymore. He knew he had been wrong about that. THIS was the worst case scenario.
“Um, sure, that’s what I wanted.” He laughed nervously trying to avoid eye contact with his crush. “To see Sweetie Belle. Yeah. So, see you, Rarity!” he said and ran away.
Oh, childhood love, Rarity thought and started to walk toward the marketplace.
Spike was slowly walking to the library, where he and Twilight lived. “How to get out of this?” he repeated the question in his head.
“Hey Spike! Where have you been?” Twilight asked curiously when her assistant came in.
“At Rarity’s house,” he answered grimly and frowned.
“Well, I see your plan to pick up her didn’t work out. Again,” Twilight said indifferently. She always thought Spike had no chances with Rarity.
“Rarity wants me to date Sweetie Belle,” Spike murmured.
“Say what!?” Twilight was visibly shocked.
“Yeah, my plan didn’t work out. And has side effects as well,” he said and lay on the sofa. “And I don’t want to talk about it.”
Twilight rubbed her mane. “You know, Spike. I think it’s a great idea.”
“Say what?”
“Well, you and Sweetie Belle are children and I think you should go for her rather than Rarity. You see, Rarity is an adult mare and she thinks you are a cute little baby. Besides, you know what I think about relationships between dragons and ponies but as long as you are children, nothing wrong can happen, right? So, good luck with Sweetie!” Twilight explained and returned to her reading.
Spike thought the idea through. “Sweetie Belle is Rarity’s sister. So, she is like a smaller version of her. So, dating Sweetie Belle would be like dating Rarity!” Spike worked out how to change a failure into something he had wished for.
Spike excitedly ran to the bathroom to prepare himself for the inevitable date.
In the evening, Spike arrived at Rarity’s house. The fashionista greeted him and let him in. “Sweetie is in her room.” She sniffed as he was passing her. “You smell great, Spikey. I see it is something serious then.” She giggled. “Well, I won’t be disturbing you then. I am going to visit Fluttershy now. Have fun.” Rarity giggled again and left the house.
“Horseapples...” Spike said and went into Sweetie’s room.
“Hiya, Spike!” she welcomed her guest. “Rarity told me you’d wanted to see me!” she said happily.
“Yeah,” he said uncertainly. “I, I, I, I wanted to play with you, you know, like friends do.” He laughed nervously and blushed.
Sweetie Belle gave him a confused look. After a while she exclaimed happily: “Sure! I’m gonna bring the dolls!”
She left the room. Spike fell on the ground. “I have no idea what I’m doing,” he thought. Sweetie Belle was back a few moments later. “These are my favorite dolls! Here, you can have this dragon doll.”
Spike took the plastic figure. He turned it around in his claws clueless what to do.
Sweetie Belle prepared a tea party for the dolls. That would be an extremely boring experience for Spike, if he was not so nervous.
He looked at Sweetie Belle. Actually, she was like Rarity. She didn’t have her beautiful purple mane but her hair was cute after all. Her coat obviously wasn’t brushed as often as Rarity’s but was white and clean as well. The longer he stared at the filly the prettier she looked like. His mind tried to fool him. Sweetie Belle was becoming a substitute for Rarity.
“Nah, I’m not gonna fall in love with Sweetie Belle. She’s nice and all but she’s not Rarity, right?” he thought.
“Um, excuse me, Spike. Need to visit the little fillies’ room.” Sweetie giggled and left rhe room.
“I’m not gonna start thinking about Sweetie all the time I don’t see her,” he thought.
A few minutes had passed.
“Oh, no!” Spike knew the inevitable had happened. He felt something for Sweetie. He was aware of that because now he couldn’t stop thinking about the filly. “Rarity, what have you done!?”
Sweetie Belle returned to the room. “Sorry it took so long, Spike.”
“No problem, no problem, really!” Spike exclaimed excitedly.
His excitement confused Sweetie Belle. “I’m glad that you are happy...”
They resumed their tea party. After a while Spike said: “You know, Sweetie. I, I was thinking that, maybe, we could, you know, meet each other sometimes?” he closed his eyes and covered his face with his claws.
Sweetie Belle gave him a puzzled look. “Sure. You can always come to play with me,” she answered uncertainly.
“Um, no, no, I mean, you know, meet like, you know, when a pony and a dragon like each other, I mean, they meet often and you know...”
“Of course I like you, Spike!” she said happily.
“Oh, I mean, dating each other,” Spike struggled.
“Well, we can choose certain days for your visits,” she said and began filling teapots with invisible tea.
Spike facepalmed. He hadn’t seen that coming. He already lost this little amount of confidence that let him ask those questions to Sweetie Belle. After a while, he said goodbye to Rarity’s sister and returned home.
“So, how was with Sweetie Belle?” Twilight asked curiously as he went in the house.
“Meh, she couldn’t get my point. And now I have crush on two ponies. And they are sisters. And I have no chances with either of them! Gosh!” he answered resignedly and then shouted: “Everything is going wrong!”
“Don’t worry, Spike. Some day or other your plan is going to work out,” Twilight tried to comfort his assistant, who sighed and went to the bathroom.
THE END
The next day at the playgorund...
“You won’t believe it, girls,” Sweetie Belle said to her friends. “Spike wanted to date me! He is totally on me!” Sweetie Belle looked terrified.
“Really? That’s sumthin’ new. I thought he has crush on your sis’!” Apple Bloom remarked.
“Yeah, I also thought this. But yesterday I had to pretend that I’m too stupid to understand him and he left the house,” Sweetie Belle said.
“That wasn’t nice, Sweetie!” Scootaloo gave her a reproachful look.
“I know but I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. He surprised me, really...” Sweetie said sadly.
Silence hung in the air for a few seconds.
“Well, guys, let’s go crusading. I have a cool idea how we can get our cutie marks!” Sweetie said happily and trotted away. Apple Bloom instantly followed her.
Scootaloo remained at the playground for a while. “Why didn’t he ask ME out?” she asked herself and followed her friends.

lol
this was funny ok
ARRGH, MY SPARITY BONER!
maybe i should read it first
That was great, I loved how you had Rarity play her part.
Oh dat Scootaloo!
Not sure how i feel about this story....
Eh, not a bad story but I just can't see Spike and Sweetie being the same age.
Omigod... that scootaloo part! I'm dying!
Post-read: It was nice. +fav
The prose is kind of, ah, telly. It couldn't hurt to run an editing pass over it. But this is a good story at heart! I kind of like that the ending/epilogue is a bit of a downer, too.
This was fairly funny. Only critique I'd make is to take care that you maintain the same tense throughout the piece. For example, in the sentence,
it should be that "he had little chance with her." It has to be all the same.
This story was... okay. But it felt very short and empty. I read the description expecting a far more fleshed-out story than this... bizarre one-shot. I feel like having a crush on both ponies would be a great source of conflict for Spike.
But instead, it goes, "What am I gonna do?" "I'm sure you'll figure it out someday." --STORY OVER.-- Me:
I liked this short story, and I don't think that you really need to expand upon it if you don't want to. It has a cliffhanger which would be good to leave as an openended question or could allow for more work to be done in the story.
Continue this. This instant.
Will you continue this story?
Ok.
First paragraph:
This is a very tell-y paragraph, shown quickly at the beginning with "Spike was observing Rarity's house from nearby bushes". Nothing is explained about the bushes or anything, and there is no mention of the day at all despite the next sentence containing "That was one of those days". The whole paragraph continues in the same awkward flow, which needs some serious revising. "He obviously knew" - this is the narration speaking, yet it is gathering an opinion. "Obviously" is an opinion someone makes when they think something is too plain to see. "Therefore" cuts in at an awkward moment as well, and there should be a comma following after. The next sentence is also relatively short, ends too abruptly and has some tense confusion, as mentioned before by another comment. The next sentence is also very awkward, but I think I've covered these things enough so far.
I'd strongly suggest getting an editor for this, as I found the first paragraph a little bothersome to go through (too awkward). I won't get into too much detail, so I'll leave it at this.
Poor Spike can't win for loosing
Oooh, I love this paring!
SpiBelle... but then... ah... nothing happens?
1452714
I totally agree.
Well, ah, I can't really upvote this (not badly enough written by any means to deserve a downvote, either). I don't know... *scurries away*
SORCERY!MAGIC!
Thoughts are italics without quotations.
Missed the cap on Belle. Also it seems to be missing a bit of the sentence.
Aside from that most of the previous comments point out a few things.
This need's a sequel.
But I thought the reason she didn't want to date spike was she had a crush on SB or SL.
I know you did this a one-shot, but it needs MOAR
Daaaaaawwww so much wub
for the record, I dont like Sparity, so this like the funniest thing that can happen to him considering that sweetie belle won't date him either
It's a great idea, just seems it needs something... more. As in more story. As in you should totally continue with this story!
The language is a bit rough too, but certainly forgivable - that is, so long as you write more chapters.
NO PRESSURE!
Bwah? That totally threw me for a loop. I was expecting something different for sure. Especially since I've read a few stories with the same initial premise somehow. This one definitely had an amusing ending. Well done.
To be honest I really dislike Spike/Rarirty and this is my favorite pairing, though you have a few grammer errors I'm rather impressed by this and am hoping you make another one, though I really love the idea of Spike/Scootaloo as well and for a second I thought I saw a bit of Spilight but that could just be the fact that I'm such a huge fan of the pairing (my favorite with SpikeBelle being second) and I'm very glad I read this.
And was I senseing a small amount of Fluttershy/Rarity? I LOVE that pairing.
First of all, thanks for all your comments
1452645 1453791 1453456 1452962 1452828 1452812 1452758
Oh, well guys, I didn't really plan a sequel. I'm rather surprised that you want it
Well, I can think of it but don't want to force myself to write a bad sequel.
And once again, thanks, really.
please continue, i wish to read more

I'm just a bit confused about whether Sweetie was "just surprised" and delaying her real answer until later, or if she really doesn't want to date Spike. If the second of these options is true, that's hilarious and you could garner some more laughs in the final scene by having her talk about how much she doesn't want to date him.
A sequel would be interesting to read, purely in terms of where the heck you're going to take it from this point. One of the things this story leaves open to interpretation is that we don't see what Rarity really thinks of Spike.
this all got started because of that stupid season finalie.
Why? 
1455632
Huh? What do you mean?
you know that photo at the end of the episode when they where taken togther? that,s how it got started
1455692
I know the one your talking about and I too would like to see this one continued. I mean it sounded like Scootaloo likes Spike at the end so... I'd really like to see how this will go and if there is even a Spike Apple Bloom date as well, then even more interesting. Spike... You are in for one massive headache. Good luck buddy.
i'm more interested in the AppleSpike shipping>>1455965
1455692
Well, I remember now... But didn't think of it while writing this story
read my story,
spread the word
And then....
The Sweetest Gem
How dense can she really be? SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!

Spike and any CMC is fine with me but I haven't seen many AppleSpike pairings so that be nice as well. Author please continue and surprise us.
Spike the Pimp.
Brilliant
I lied. This fic never made it to the read list. I decided I might as well read now it since it's so short.
"“Sure! I’m gonna bring the dolls!”" I stopped and laughed at this.
Okay...let's see...I definitely see a 'next' here...
IDEA:
another date with Sweetie and Spike with him all lovey dovey and Sweetie fighting back her disgust and then later when she talks it over with her friends Scoots isn't there because she's got her own plan to win Spike's heart. All ends in hilarious disaster for Spike and he finally has to tell the truth. It's a start, right? I hope this sparks an idea.
Anyone considered that Rarity may be taking Trolling lessons from Trollestia?

Poor Spike
And yay
for Sweetie Belle she's awesome as always 
Random fact of the day: The orbital friendship cannon was originally constructed to make Twilight's friendship experiences less awkward.
Sufficed to say the project failed miserably. It only took 25 trillion bits to construct!
Wait, if Twilight hatched Spike when she was a little filly and when Twilight grew up. And Spike still being a baby dragon, does that still mean that if Rarity does end up with Spike does that still make Rarity a pedophile? Because he is just as old as Twilight in pony years.
Ha ha ha! That was hilarious!
Sweetie Belle was trying to be naive? That surprised me! And Scootaloo at the end...
You get a like and a favorite!
A little rushed... But it has Spike in it - all is forgiven
can you make a second chapter please?
Age (In)/Appropriate!?
