Chapter One 1.2
A friendship never ending
By Flying Lotus youknowhatever...
Chapter One: This Chapter doesn't have a name
It was a bright, warm and just downright beautiful morning in Ponyville; the sun had begun easing over the pink clouds that covered the kingdom of Equestria. Dowsing its lively mountains and sweet villages in vivid tones of crimson and yellow. When Spike had just woken up to a voice so beautiful; he thought he was still snugly asleep. The juvenile dragon opened his eyes; riveting in the sunlight that illuminated his room through its small timber framed window; cobbled with spider webs and dust that danced in the air. He got to his feet, sinking his heels into the persistent cold of the floor and stretched his arms from wall to wall yawning inaudibly over the conversation that was being had in the next room. .
“And that is why they call it a hooficure Twilight” Spike heard the heavenly voice speak out to his roommate/sister/master and friend Twilight Sparkle.
It was a familiar and calming voice, one that Spike had enjoyed far too often for his own good “Rarity?” Was he really still dreaming? Spike reached down and pinched his arm only to have a sharp and real pain bite back at him. He hadn’t expected that, not a dream! “Rarity!” Spike roared out of sheer excitement. With his mouth agape and huge pink hearts in each of his eyes, he made a mad dash down the stairs; and face first into Twilights rear with a thud.
The purple dragon bounced backwards on impact knocking him off his feet and onto his backside. Twilight cocked her head up in surprise, snapping her attention towards Spike before grabbing his eyes with her own disappointed scowl “Spike? What were you doing running down those stairs? You could have yourself!” Twilight hissed, correcting her pet/brother/slave and friend.
“But...” Spike muttered before he averted his gaze towards the ground. Spike was filled with the kind of shame that made it difficult for him to look his friend in the eyes anymore, he glanced away.
"Honestly Spike I don't know what I would do with myself if you got injured!" Twilight added, continuing to pressure the juvenile dragon.
“I.. I didn't mean to hurt me, or anypony! I.. I'm really sorry though, I really mean it!” he pathetically replied with a tone so genuine it expressed alone what words could not.
Rarities eyes welled up with tears, glimmering for her unfortunate friend “Ohh my poor, little Spikey wikey!” The shimmering white and purple pony that had once been standing next to Twilight leaped out at Spike. Throwing her forelegs around him and enveloping him in a generous hearted embrace. Burning away all his fears of disappointing Twilight… again… (This was something that was becoming a trend of his recently.)
"There, there Spike, you'll be okay, just don't worry... I'm here for you now" Rarity said hushing her friend and bringing a smile to his face.
Spikes mind went blank at Rarities spontaneous act of kindness. He fell limp in Rarity’s arms as she clutched him to her chest “Ra...ri..ty..” Managed to slip Spikes lips as he mumbled in an incoherent manner un befitting of a dragon. Rarity released her hold of Spike and slipped back to her former spot beside Twilight. While Spike slumped to the ground counting the stars and hearts that came whizzing past his head.
Twilights resistance melted and she returned Spike her trademark ‘Apology Accepted’ smile “Spike, Rarity and I are going to the spa and we won't be back to later this afternoon. You can have the day off; here I’m giving you your allowance early this week. Go get something special!” Twilight finished, but not completely sure whether Spike had understood her or not.
“Spa, allowance, day off” Spike replied through his idiotic stupor.
Twilight zapped a sack of bits into existence with her magic and floated them over to the purple mess on the floor that was Spike, as she and Rarity walked out the door. Rarity insisted on staying with Spike for a little while to make sure he was ok. In fact she was more than willing to forego her trip to the spa entirely just to be certain. But, time after time Twilight assured her Spike would be fine.
By the time Spike was himself again Twilight and Rarity were long gone and Spike wasn’t about to waste his chore free day drooling on the ground. Oh no, he was going to buy himself a feast fit for a dragon at the most expensive restaurant in Ponyville! Spike rambled his way back up the staircase and into his room and slipped on the little diamond blotch bow tie that Rarity had made for him around his neck, polished his fangs and brushed his ma... er spikes... before stepping out the door. If you are what you eat, then Spike had to be a gem.
Upon taking the first step outside of the doorway he couldn’t help but think when was the last time he had left the library on anything short of business. Really, he couldn't remember. He inhaled a lungful of the cool summer breeze that flowed through the door way and directly into his nostrils turning his gaze towards the deep blue skies, flabbergasted that there wasn't a single cloud to be seen.
“Rainbow dash is actually doing her job today” Spike assumed to himself, hardly believing what he was seeing. Spike turned around and reached for the door behind him which he closed shut and turned the library’s business sign from ‘open’ to ‘closed’ before leaving.
Spike had finally found the time to admire the beautiful sunrises that he never had the time to appreciate; on account of him being looked up inside Golden Oaks library running chores all day long. Except nights which were of course Owlicious’ shift. On his way Spike was greeted by many of his neighbors in Ponyville complementing him on his splendid bow tie and exemplary etiquette. Spike was happy with his day so far, it was a normal day as far as normal days in Ponyville go. And that was usually too good to be true. Spike spotted a huge crowd of ponies clamoring outside his destination, well so much for a normal day after all. Spike covered the distance with ease and worked his way through the crowd, skillfully scuffling his way to the center. When he spotted the familiar blue Pegasus drawing in huge crowd as she was rescuing a cat from its perch in a tree.
Spike observed his friends heroic deed safely from within the mass of bystanders. The crowd cheered for Rainbow as she flew up into the tree and retrieved the uninterested and passive cat from its doom before flying it over to its owner, Derpy Doo (or was it Ditzy Doo?) who in turn saved the kitty from any doubts it had of not being loved when Derpy crushed the small cat in a loving embrace (Why Derpy didn’t just fly up to the branch and rescue the cat herself was a mystery wrapped inside a secret, but then again, she is Derpy after all).
After the ever so brave though Spike would never admit it, Rainbow dash had reunited the pet with her owner she began to boast once more of her valiant deed. She flew high up into the air hovering over the mass of faces to make sure every pony in the crowd could hear her "Another pon... er Cat! Saved by none other than Ponyvilles infamous Rainbow dash!" the smug blue Pegasus bellowed out as insurance that some pony had missed the rescue, or Celestia forbid, forgotten about her selfless act of generosity to save such an adorable and innocent creature.
Spike caught Rainbows words through the crowds’ d'aawss for Derpy as well as their equally loud cheers for his cyan Pegasus friend. Spike bought his hands to his mouth and curled them into a cone shape to amplify his voice against the crowds’ "Woohoo Rainbow dash!"
Rainbow dash flinched in the middle of show boating taken aback familiarity of the voice. She confusedly searched through the crowd for the source of the familiar (and oh so erotic but she'll never admit it) voice of Spike. Thanks to Rainbows unfaltering eyes she spotted Spike waving his arms around in an attempt to catch the absent minded Pegasus' attention. Rainbow flew in close to her dragon friend hovering mere feet away from his face. The crowd had almost dispersed now or had gone to examine Derpy and her pet giving rainbow plenty of room to linger in
"Oh hey Spike" Rainbow blurted out deliberately ensuring every pony in earshot heard her "Didn't see ya there while I was risking my very life for this cat!" she finished proudly; chest huffed up and totally not full of herself.
Spike was jumping with excitement from the rescue, enthusiasm strong in his voice “I know! I saw! Who could it be? Besides maybe mare do..."
"Oh no" Rainbow interrupted Spike mid-sentence "We're never going to bring that up again, ever, period." Upon finishing her sentence and observing the grin on Spikes face, the blue mare face hoofed a little. Embarrassed by just how easily her friend had pranked with her, the infamous prank master: Rainbow dash.
Spike couldn't hold himself anymore and burst into a light cheery laughter "Haha don't worry, just messing with you Rainbow"
Rainbow eased back once more reeling a sign of relief over her face “Hehe good one Spike. Say, what ya doing out here anyway? Aren’t you meant to be helping Twilight with her chores?” Rainbow asked Spike quizzically to hear the dragons alibi.
Spikes grin faded and he returned to his usual self again “Oh, Twilight and Rarity are spending the morning at the spa. And I get the rest of the day off, with no chores” Spike finished running through his defense with ease and confidence.
Rainbow darted her eyes over Spikes body once more, taking note of his bow tie “And what’s that for?” She asked gesturing towards his attire.
Spike looked down at his glimmering bow tie and back up again to meeting Rainbows gaze with his own “This old thing? Rarity gave it me!” Spike said, his eyes glowing as he finished the sentence “I need to look my best if I’m going to be eating at the Hayrys”
Rainbow eyes widened and her expression changed instantly from investigator to skeptic “You’re going to the Hayrys? That’s the bestest most awesome restaurant in Ponyville!” Rainbow stated, her mouth watering just at the mere mention of it.
“Yup, I always go there for my days off and since I am a regular customer mister Hayry himself gives me discount!” Spike stated, now this time boasting himself. One look back at his blue friend and her expression said it all; she looked starved and thirsty, nothing that a little trip to Hayrys couldn’t fix “Hey, why don’t you come with me?” Spike insisted with honest hearted enthusiasm.
Spikes words tugged Rainbow ears... and her stomach. The life of devoted hero can leave you running on empty far more than you’d care to be. Rainbows eyes lit up and a smile began to emerge from her day dreamy expression. Rainbow had never been to such a nice restaurant in her life nor had any pony invited her to accompany them either. She wasn’t about to say no… “Omygoshomygoshomygoshomygosh” of course she couldn’t really say yes either.
Rainbow dropped at Spikes side with a dull clunk from her hooves as they impacted the sidewalk. Rainbow still smiling from ear to ear and Spike looking a tad bit confused at Rainbows glowing disposition, entered restaurant. The atmosphere was very… Rarity in a way. Curtains, candles and even chandeliers! left, right, center it didn't matter, the place cluttered with them. Spike didn't mind, heck he was sure he could even see Rainbow enjoying it! Despite her defiant tomboyish flare that would've suggested otherwise.
Rainbow Dash on the other hoof, was too busy observing a whole area dedicated to equestrian sports and athletes. She insisted ruthlessly that they sit down at the table that had the signatures of the Wonder Bolts team written across it like a huge piece of paper. There was even Spitfires Wonder Bolt suit hanging high up on the burgundy walls of the restaurant, just out of reach (Which may have been a good thing considering Rainbow obsession over her). Rainbow couldn't bring herself stop talking about her and the rest of the team once they sat down. She must've told Spike everything he’d ever need to for the rest of his life. And she did it without taking a break to breath!
"Err... Are you okay madam?" The white and ashen coloured waiter asked with uncertain caution as he found himself caught in between Rainbows fanmare-ism and his job "Is... She going to be okay?" He whispered into Spikes ear.
Spike veered up at the waiter "I hope so" He said anxiously "I don't think I've ever seen this way before"
The waiter paused expressionless, like a deer in lamp light "Oh... well um, yeah that's right. What will you be ordering this afternoon?"
Rainow suddenly took halt from her nonsense fan dribble and smacked the the menu into her face, reading the menu as if it were the single most important thing in the universe "Uhh, ummm let see..." Rainbow paused for a brief moment only to burst out in excitement as she found the exact item she had been searching for "This!" Rainbow yelled at the waiter flinching at her every word, she held out the menu in her hoof and pointed the item, unintentionally assaulting the waiter with her impatience, extremely bad table side manor and situational ignorance.
Spike face palmed, "I'll have the usual" He said grudgingly. The waiter turned around in an instant and instinctively bolted back into side the safety of the kitchen, far far away from Rainbows il etiquette.
"So what did you order?" Rainbow asked the regretful purple dragon.
Spike looked across the table back and back into Rainbows purple reddish eyes "Oh, ruby steak! It's my favourite!"
"You know, I'll never understand why dragons eat gems, it sounds as appetizing as eating a rock" Rainbow said dismissively.
"But rocks and gems have completely different tastes!" Spike defended hurriedly "That's like comparing oranges and Apples!"
Rainbow buried her face in her hoof and shook her head low in disapproval "You know what? Forget I mentioned it"
By the end of their meal Spike had paid the check for both of them costing him his entire weeks’ salary to the dismay of his rainbow-maned friend. Spike and Rainbow left the restaurant satisfied and stuffed to breaking point with food and minerals. As they exited the building onto the hoofpath Rainbow sucked in a huge mouthful of air before rambling incoherently once more.
“Omygoshdidyouseethatrestaraunt!theyhadawonderbolttablethatwassignedandevenawonderboltssuitl!” Rainbow shrieked while Spike just tuned out for a few seconds think to himself. He was astonished at how much Rainbow had adored the Wonder Bolts. Or, how any pony really could adore the Wonder Bolts as much as she did. But then again, over the past forty minutes he had spent listing to her, he found himself an unintentional fan of the Wonder Bolts, Soarin to be specific.
Only after putting a bit of distance between the restaurant and themselves had Rainbow calmed down enough to establish a normal breathing pattern again. Spike and Rainbow were still a fair distance away from the library. On foot it would take at least another twenty minutes. Spike had wanted to get home before for Rarity and Twilight came back so he could tidy up the place, you know, his way of saying sorry. And although Spike was in a hurry to get back home, he also wanted to spend some more time with Rainbow dash. Spike caught a glimpse of Rainbow through the side of his eye. She was starting to look bored… or sleepy? He really couldn’t tell, to him, she all ways looked sleepy.
Rainbow opened her mouth and let out a hearty yawn turning to face Spike “Euuhah, hey Spike”
Spike jumped a little in surprisement from the sudden question question “What is it?” He replied caught off guard as he turned to meet her gaze attentively.
“What do you want to do now? I'm kinda bored" And sleepy Spike added in his head, before thinking what he was going to do now.
"Well" Spike paused in thought "I was going to go back to the library, why? Did you want to do something else?
"Well... have you ever been flying with a Pegasus before? Rainbow said faintly grinning through her bored expression.
Spike stood in place unable to recall if had ever actually been flying with a Pegasus before? " I don't think Twilight would let me..."
"I promise I’ll make it fun!” Rainbow cut in, gesturing towards her back with her right hoof for Spike to mount her.
A streak of red shot across spikes cheeks before he could give his answer “Uhmm…” Spike muttered sheepishly “But I have to get home soon and..” He was cut off by Rainbow again before he could finish.
“Don’t you worry about it Spike, I’ll bring to the library right away, I promise, you won't be disappointed” Rainbow replied again still grinning with confidence.
Well, it was futile to decline Rainbows offer, honestly Spike would never live it down or more realistically Rainbow would never let Spike live it down. He nodded back at Rainbow as she lowered her torso to the ground allowing Spike to reach up and climb onto her feathery back. Spike clutched the base of her wings with his pointed claws carefully. The blue Pegasus leant forward splaying out her wings to her sides readying them for flight.
“Hold on tight Spike, this’ll be fun!” Rainbow claimed as started beating her wings. She began a light trot which escalated into a canter than finally a gallop building momentum with her every step. Spike was buckling on her back sliding from left to right when Rainbow began a count down.
“Five, four, three, two, one” Rainbow jumped into the air catching an updraft of wind beginning her speedy ascent over the top of Ponyville while Spike was little more than a screaming mess holding onto her back for dear life. It was one thing to watch Rainbow fly and an entirely different sensation to fly with her, Spike now knew this first-hand. The wind whipping through his scales and rattling his spikes was as exhilarating as it was frightening. It was something so foreign to him, something so strange, yet he found himself enjoying it. Rainbow began slowing down swiftly and before small dragon could say cherrychanga they were back at the library.
Rainbow landed just outside the library hitting a branch her way down, knocking Spike off her back and falling to the ground. Rainbow quickly landed next her purple friend “Sorry bout that Spike” She said through her frown as she grasped Spikes hands in her hooves and tugged him back to his feet. Looking as sorrowful as Spike had felt that very morning.
Spike dusted himself off and returned her looked back with a smile of his own “Don’t worry about me Rainbow, honestly I’m fine” He said pausing between his sentences “Honestly, that was the most fun I’ve had all week!”
Rainbow looked relieved as she fell to her haunches “Phew had me scared there for a second Spike. So when are Rarity and Twilight getting back?”
“Soon, I should probably start cleaning up before they get back actually” Spike replied
“Oh...” Rainbow hesitated “Well... I should probably get out of here anyway. And when you get another day off, make sure you come and see me. Next time it’ll be my treat" Rainbow turned around ready to fly off before she cast her gaze back on Spike "Oh, and Spike, the I was acting at the restaurant today... lets just keep that between you and me” Rainbow shot Spike a thankful smile before turning away and darting off into the distance again.
Spike fell back against the rough bark wall that was Golden Oaks library and scratched his head in confusion. He had enjoyed himself, far more than any other day in recent memory, and yet, he wanted more. More time with Rainbow dash and more time with Rarity. It was a strange feeling that was filling him up from inside, like a balloon ready pop, only the balloon was filled with butterflies. Spike cocked his head up again and just stared into the vast blue horizon that his friend so elegantly tamed, and he just stood there waiting for the world to make sense again. Only it didn’t, he still felt the same and he didn’t have a clue what to do next.
“Oooh Spikey wikey!” A voice like silk called at him from across the street…

DAMN YOU INCOMPLETE TAG!! or maybe not....
well back to normal...i'll wait until its completed...sry personal rule
p.s: still have a thumb :p
Awesome story is awesome... Enough said
Okay, in the middle the quality just randomly goes down. Missed capitalized names, sentences that don't make sense, and Rainbow Dash's personality went way to far into fangirl. Aside from the ohmygosh, she never really speaks that fast. Usually she goes more for talking about how awesome they are. There's certainly a charm to it, and it is interesting. Spike likes both, and both seem to have feelings for Spike, so I can see this getting crazy and even heartbreaking. Still, certain things feel a little to unnatural.
Why is Rainbow labeled as infamous?
1941881 You don't become famous by pulling pranks and boasting about everything... Also, she once killed a chicken...
1941918 Oh OK
The plot is interesting and I would like to see where it goes.
And I thought Rainbow was a lesbian.....................................
I like it. Have a
The story is cute, although slightly OC.
I bucking adore anything SpikeDash
Grammer and sentence structure needs a bit of work The errors I found, I self correct by copy pasting the story into my wordpad and going over it with a fine toothed comb. I wish to show you, but I have no idea how to go about that.
I'll go and perform Seppuku if this has offended you in anyway. Please don't hate me kind sir.
1950918 Just send me a private message and I'll get underway with editing it. Hmm actually I haven't got any pre-readers or editors and you seem to know your stuff, so would you be interested in helping me out?
1950918
*grammar
1962006
God dammit...
How did I mess that up...
I think phonetically sometimes and it just comes out like that, usually when I try to type fast, but that's just me
Hurry, another, please!
I say, this is a good chapter, can't wait for another chapter.
This is honestly a good story, just fix all the grammatical errors. BTW, i love your avatar...
Infamous means famous for doing some thing bad
