I always thought this would be great, to have somepony chase me instead of it being the other way around. To have her say she loves me without any care about what anypony would say. But I was so, so wrong. As I am writing this she is after me. Truthfully I don’t see the connection, we are two very different creatures and many ponies like her chase her around. But not the way she chases me. I’ve tried asking for help, the stallions think I’m nuts for running away from an attractive mare and news got around about how she “loves” me so the mares refuse to think otherwise. I could tell my friends but they would definitely tell my sister, who while on her own could do tons of damage and destruction to anyone that hurts me, she would without a doubt tell my mother about it. Just the thought of what she would do is going to give me nightmares for a while. This mare, I’ve only known her for the past three days and I already fear her. Yet at the same time, she’s my best friend. I love hanging out with her, I love making music with her, and I even love helping her with the simplest tasks. But you have to understand, I don’t love her. God, now I’m referring to this journal as if it were a living being. I’ve tried to tell her I don’t feel the same way but to no use. She always says how I’m either “scared to admit it” or “I haven’t realize my love yet.” I would give her a chance, but she is far too forward. Even when she’s calm she constantly flirts with me. Than you have moments like this, where she can’t stand the wait any longer and tries to force me into a relationship. Whether it’s plain kissing me repeatedly or taking me on a date, it’s the chase that scares me. She even tries to get me in bed and I may not be reclusive as Twilight, but just due to being the only dragon for miles around, I’m really socially awkward. So much in fact that the idea of sex actually scares me, something about being that close and exposed with somepony is just horrifying to me. I remember telling Shining about that and he still laughs about it to this day. I heard her stop trotting; I think she knows where I am. Oh Vinyl, I feel you will always be my best friend, and my worst enemy. Three days ago- Spike thought today was going to be different. He woke up today with the intention of helping his crush Rarity and hopefully finally being bold enough to ask her out. It’s been three years since the Crystal Empire was restored and within that time, puberty finally kicked in for our reptilian friend. He was now half a head taller than Twilight and it’s been nothing short of a wild ride for both of them. Twilight now had tests and experiments done to him anytime anything changes. Grown an inch? Need to do a test. Ate lunch at a different time than usually? Need to do a test. Showed with warm water instead of hot? Need to do another agonizing, time-consuming test. Spike, on the other hand, is taking this growth spurt of his in a different way. You see, dragons were only viewed as giant, terrifying beasts or as cute, lovable babies like from Spike’s previous years. There is a sweet spot though, where many mares (and even a few stallions) were instantly drawn towards the very attractive drake. But we just got side tracked; this isn’t about the growth spurt. It about what happened when Spike finally reached the home of his crush, the Carousel Boutique. However, he didn’t think a black pegasus with a light blue mohawk would be at the front step. “Hey dork! What are you doing here?” Thunderlane said. Spike stopped right in his tracks. He then looked at the pony with confusion. “Did you just call me a dork?” “What about it? Are you going to cry about it loser!” “No, it’s the 21st century. If this was the 80’s then I may have been a little insulted but-“ “Whatever, don’t even think about asking Rarity out man. She’s mine!” He barely knew this guy for twenty seconds and Spike already wanted to punch him. “Okay one, she’s not yours and frankly that’s a little sexist of you to say. Second if I harmed you in any way I’m sorry.” Spike said with sincerity. “Sorry? About what? About being a huge nerd!” The more Thunderlane laughed at his own horrible insults, the more Spike wanted him to go away. He was never one for violence. “Look, can we just-“ Bop Spike then felt a punch connect with his jaw, but it was weak and coupled with the fact Spike had dragon scales, it literally felt like nothing. “… Did you just punch me?” Spike asked. While it didn’t hurt, the fact this guy tried to physically harm him made him mad. “And what if I did?” Thunderlane said while confidently brushing his shoulder. “I didn’t do anything, yet you-“ Bop “Ha! How did you like that one?” The overly high confidence of this guy was starting to make Spike hate him even more than he already did. “What is your problem? I-“ Bop “-simply walked out here to-“ Bop “-help my friend out with her-“ Bop “-work and you just keep trying to-“ Bop WHAM! Spike punched Thunderlane right in the chest, and it was powerful enough to make Thunderlane crash into the trashcans behind him. Spike felt nothing but pure bliss from this, until- “What in the world happened here!?” Spike’s heart stopped beating for a second as he looked up to see Rarity looking back and forth at him and Thunderlane. “Look, Rarity-“ “I-I was trotting over h-here to come and a-ask you on a d-date.” Rarity gasped as Thunderlane began to slowly and overly dramatically point his hoof at Spike. “B-But he found out! A-And he started to-“ “Rarity the guy is lying, ask anypony here they’ll-“ Spike started but was cut off by Rarity. “Spike, silence.” Spike felt his heart break a little at her tone. “Continue sweetie.” “H-He called me n-names, like…” He then motioned for Rarity to lean in and began to whisper things. This went on for four seconds, and with each second Rarity had on a new facial expression. Confusion. Shock. Horror. And finally, anger. “Spike the dragon…” Rarity then began to slowly walk towards the drake. “R-Rarity, you can’t seriously believe this guy-” “You insulted a kind young stallion-” This can’t be happening. “Y-You have it all wrong-” “And then you assaulted him-” Years of hard work, ruined. “Stop talking.” Spike felt like crying. “I can’t believe you. To think I actually had a crush on you.” Scratch that, he is crying. “I thought you were different, I thought you and me would be like the characters in my novels. But I was wrong. You are a vile, horrid dragon, just like the rest.” “N-No… Rar-” “Don’t ever talk to me again. Come on in sweetheart, let’s get you all patched up.” As Rarity finished, Thunderlane was practically dancing with joy over this. As he went into the dress shop, Rarity took one final look at Spike and slammed the door. He had never felt a more cold, heart crushing stare.
