Chapter 1

Twilight was sitting on the couch, reading a book called The Brief History Of Light Magic. As she red away, her number one assistant was cleaning the library and reorganizing books that Twilight left out.

"Isn't it nice to have a quiet day in the library. No monsters trying to destroy Ponyvill, no emergencies from the princess-.", said Twilight.

"Your right, it is boring.", said Spike.

"Aw come on Spike, Don't you enjoy just staying inside and relaxing."

"I guess, but I miss the adventures we would have every other week. I just wish something would happen." just then, Spike tripped on the latter he was on at knocked the bookshelf down, causing all the books to come falling down.

"SPIKE.", said Twilight in a agitated voice.

"What.", said Spike. Just then, he grabbed his mouth and let out a large, fire Burp. From his fire came a scroll and it landed right in front of Twilight.

"It's a letter from Princess Celestia-." , Twilight said as she used her magic to open the scroll. "-Dear Twilight, I am sorry to interrupt you on this beautiful day, but I have urgent news. Something as come up in the griffin homeland and I need your expertise to help me with the negotiations. Only Spike and you are to know of this trip. Tell nopony else what this mission is about, and do not bring the elements of harmony in to this. Pack for no more then a weeks trip and take a train to Canterlot as soon as you can. sincerely, Princess Celestia. This sounds important. I need to leave right now, SPIKE."

"Way ahead of you Twilight." , said spike as he came down the stares with a suitcase.

"Now Spike, I'll be gone for a week, so watch over the library while I'm gone, okay."

"No problem Twilight.", said Spike to Twilight as she left the library. Spike turned around to see the mess he made and his smile quickly disappeared. "I guess I should clean that up first." , he said to himself as he got to work cleaning up the pile of books.

About two hours had passed since Twilight left. Spike was about half way through the pile of books before he herd a knock on the door. "Just a second.", Yelled Spike as he put the last of the books in his hands away. Spike opened the door to see a familiar rainbow main'd pegasus.

"Hay Rainbow, whats up".

"Not much Spike.", Rainbow said as she looked around the library. "Were's Twilight, she's not still mad at me for making it rain on her that one time is she."

"I don't think so. Actually, she had to leave on an important mission from Princess Celestia. Anyway, how can I help you."

"I heard the new Daring Do was out."

"I'll go get that, in the meantime, go head and make yourself comfortable." Spike walked off towards a self filled with all the Daring Do books. He used his finger to browse them until he found the book he was looking for. He pulled it out to revile the title of the book was "Daring Do And The Ruby Dragon" with a picture of Daring Do and a small, purple dragon fighting an all gold dragon. "Here it is.", said Spike as he handed the book to Rainbow.

"Thanks little guy. You don't mind if I read it here do you."

"Na, it'l be nice to have some company." Spike walked back over to the pile and continued to put the books back on the selves. as he was putting away the books, he looked over to Rainbow laying down on the couch. He just stared at her figure as she continued to read the book. he let out a small sigh of content as he looked at her. You see, even though Spike still had feelings for Rarity, he began to realize that she would see him as nothing more then a plaything and would love him like a son instead of like a boyfriend. However, as Spike got to know the rest of Twilights friends, He began to realize that Rainbow and him had a lot in common like they both wanted nothing to do with girly things. He started to fall in love with her, but much like Rarity, he just didn't have the guts to tell her his true feelings. He then let out a sigh of disappointment as the realization came over him.

"Hey Spike, in this book, Daring falls in love with a dragon. He sounds kinda cute.", said Rainbow.

"So?", said Spike

"He reminds me a lot of you." Spike immediately went wide eyed and had a blush on his cheeks. Is is Rainbow flirting with me. Then rainbow started to laugh a little.

"Relax Spike, I know you like Rarity."

"Yea Yea." Spike let out another sigh. Reinbows smile turned into a look of concern as she stared at Spike.

"What's Wrong Spike."

"Nothing. It's just, I don't really have feeling for Rarity any more."

"Why not."

"Well, the truth is, I have feelings for another pony instead."

"Is it somepony I know." , Rainbow said with interest in her voice

"you might know her."

"Well does she know your feelings for her."

"I honestly don't know."

"Well Spike, if you ask me, you should tell her you true feeling for her."

"But what if she doesn't like me."

"I wasn't joking when I called you cute. Only Rarity could turn you down and she was an idiot for doing it. If you tell her your true feelings, she will have no choice but to love you." Spike smiled at the rainbow maine'd pegasus.

"Thanks for the advice Rainbow." Spike got off the ladder as he put the last of the books away. Before Spike chould pick out a book to read, he heard Rainbow say something to him.

"Would you like to read with me." Spike froze in his tracks.

"Um o okay.", Said Spike as he hopped up on the couch. He sat quite a bits away from Rainbow.

"Maybe this will help." , said Rainbow as she pushed Spike into a laying stomach down position and she got on top of him. "That's better, now we can both read." Spike was blushing and looked straight at the book, trying not to make eye contact with her.

The two of them were reading the book for quit some time. Then suddenly, Rainbow realized she was blushing at the sensation of Spikes tail rubbing against her hind legs and the fact that she was right up against Spike. It also did not help that they were at a part of the book were the dragon and Daring were making out.

Why am I blushing so much. Rainbow needed an excuse to get out of this. She looked at the window and saw that it was already dark out. "Well it's getting late, I should probably get going.", Rainbow said out loud. She waited for Spike to respond but got only silence. "Spike." Still no response. She looked down to see Spike sleeping. Rainbow just stared at the sleeping dragon for a minute before she grabbed him and put him in his bed. "Good night Spike.", she said before she flew out the bedroom window. Well that was wearied She thought as she got home. She went inside her house and went right to bed.

chapter 2

Rainbow and Spike were in Twilights library. It was dark outside and the inside was lit by a fireplace. Both were under the covers kissing each other. Rainbow was on top of Spike as the drake used his hands to feel all her muscles and curves. The two broke there kiss and stared into each others eyes.

"Your a great kisser.", Spike said in between breaths.

"Your not so bad yourself, big boy.", said Rainbow as she pecked Spike on the lips.

"You know, when I told you my feelings, I was worried you were going to say you didn't like me."

"I didn't know I liked you until yesterday, I'm just glad you like me to." Rainbow leaned in and gave Spike another deep kiss. "So how do you think Twilights going to take the news when she gets back."

"I don't care, let be just enjoy this moment." Spike leaned in for another deep kiss as he put his long, Snake like tong into her mouth. Rainbow broke the kiss and instead started to kiss him on the neck. She gradually lowered her kissing closer to the chest, then the stomach, and then got down near his-

*BANG*

Rainbow fell out of her cloud bed to be met with the floor. She got up as she rubbed her head.

"What the hay kinda dream was that.", said Rainbow as she got up to inspect her bed, it was covered in sweat and saliva from her biting and tong kissing her pillow. Rainbow was more confused then she had ever been. She would have wet dreams a lot. sometimes it was Spitfire, sometimes it was Pinky Pie, but she never had these feelings for a guy before, or Spike for that matter. but the even weirder part was that she actually liked it. She wasn't having the dream because she wanted sex, she wanted Spike close to her, she wanted to hold him, she wanted him to say that he loved her. However, she had no time for that, she needed to help Fluttershy that day and was running late as it was. Rainbow grabbed the sheets in her mouth and put them in the storm cloud she used as a washing machine. "I'll clean it later." , said Rainbow as she bolted out the door. She did her best to concentrate on flying but she replayed that moment over and over again in her head. She just kept thinking about it untill she made it to Fluttershys cottage.

"Oh Rainbow, I'm so glade you made it.", said Fluttershy.

"Yea yea, sorry I'm late.". Said rainbow

"Oh, it's okay Rainbow, whats important is your here now."

"Good point, lets get started.", said Rainbow as her and Fluttershy went towards the animal kennel. Rainbow and Fluttershy did stuff like collect the eggs from the chicken coop, feed the birds in the trees, and play with the land animal to give them exercise. The whole time they were working, Rainbow kept getting distracted by memories of what happened. After she finished feeding the birds she was standing in one place thinking about it over and over again, playing the same seven words over and over again.

Do I have a crush on Spike

"Rainbow-.", Said Fluttershy finally getting Rainbow attention "-are you okay, you've been standing there for five minuets." Rainbow finally recomposed her self and was about to tell her something, anything, But then she let out a sigh when she realized that she had to tell somepony, and there was nopony she trusted more then Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy-."

"Yes Rainbow."

"-Can... can I tell you a secret."

"Of corse."

"Do you promise to tell no pony about this."

"I Pinky promise.", she said while making the appropriate gestures.

"I'm serious Fluttershy. If you tell anypony about this, then I'll tell everypony that you sleep naked.", said Rainbow to the now deeply blushing Fluttershy.

"I won't tell anypony, I swear." Rainbow leaned in closer so she could whisper.

"Fluttershy, I... I think I like Spike.", said Rainbow to a giggling Fluttershy.

"Well I like Spike to."

"No mean I really like Spike."

"Well so do I."

"FOR BUCK SHAKE FLUTTERSHY, I AM IN LOVE WITH SPIKE!!!" Rainbow immediately put both of her front hooves over her mouth. She looked around to make sure no pony was looking there. Then she looked up to see a wide eyed Fluttershy.

"Oh....... my. How do you know it's love."

"Well, I don't to be honest. You know i've always liked fillies so this is the first time I have had feelings for a guy, or a dragon for that matter. I also know that i'v never felt this way before. Last night, I had the most intense wet dream I have had in months. I'v never said this before, but it's good to talk about this ."

"Well I'm glade you told me this instead of keeping it pent up."

"Well, actually, there's another reason I told you Fluttershy-." said Rainbow as Fluttershy leaned in "- I have never had a crush before. So, I was wandering if you could give me advice about..... you know........ telling Spike my true feelings." she didn't need to have any feeling in her face to know she was blushing like crazy. Fluttershy was quiet for a couple minuets, looking off as if she was deep in thought. After a while, she took one of her hooves and put it on Rainbow.

"Well Rainbow, if you want my advice, I say you tell him your true feelings to his face."

"But what if he says no, you know I don't take rejection well."

"I know, Applejacks black eye is reminder enough, but You need to know that you tried or your going to live in uncertainty the rest of your life." Rainbow let out a big sigh before she looked at Fluttershy.

"Your right. I am going to tell him, but i'v never tried to hit on a guy before." Fluttershy went back into deep thought.

"Well..... I could give you the same advice Rarity gave me about Big Mac."

Spike had just awoke from his nap. Thanks to Twilight being out on her mission,Spike didn't have to restock books on a regular basses. He did miss the company of Twilight around, but on the bright side, he could sleep in without Twilight waking him up early. Spike awoke to realize he forgot to clean his breakfast from earlier. Spike picked up everything and just tossed it into the sink. "I'll clean it later." Spike went to browsing the books to find something to read. As he was about to pick out a book, there came a knock on the door. He opened the door to find Rainbow standing in front of the door. "Oh, hi Rainbow, what's up." Spike asked Rainbow. She was standing extremely up right, like one of the royal guards. she was also looking at Spikes lips. "uh Rainbow, are you okay."

"ofcorseimfine.", Rainbow said so fast it scared spike a little.

"Ooooookay, you must be here to read the rest of your book."

"Yea, sure." Rainbow laid on the couch while Spike got the book. Spike went over to the couch and gave the book to Rainbow.

"Here you go Rainbow.", Said Spike as he gave a quick look at Rainbow's figure. He also noticed that she was staring at him. Is.... is she looking at my lips. He brushed it off and went back to cleaning.

"Say Spike, would you like to read with me again."

"Sure." Spike went over to the couch and went under Spike like last time. He did his best to not rub up against her, in fear of blushing. As the two read on, Spike felt Rainbow push herself against him, and wrapped her tail against his. He just thought Rainbow was getting tired (She did nap more then anypony in ponyvill) but then she started nuzzling Spikes cheek. "Rainbow, what are you doing."

He's catching on. Alright Rainbow, remember what Fluttershy told you to say "Spike, you know how we've been friends for a while now."

"Yeah."

"Well, I was wondering, if maybe we could be more then friends."

"Wh...what-." Before Spike could keep talking, Rainbow flipped Spike on his back and pressed her lips against his. She leaned into him, wrapping his front hooves around him. When Spike finally recomposed himself, he closed his eyes and leaned into Rainbow's kiss. The two kissed for a good minutes before they brook away, panting for air. Rainbow looked to the side with a look of shame on her face.

"I'm sorry Spike."

"Sorry for what."

"I'm sorry for catching you off guard like that, I just.... I did what Fluttershy told me to do. I thought that if a was unexpected you would-." Before she could finish, Spike put a hand on her chin and made her look at him.

"Rainbow, I... I feel the same way, you don't have to worry so much." Rainbow smiled and gave Spike a kiss on the lips again. When the two stopped kissing, Spike said "So does this mean were dating.

"Hehe, yea I guess it does.". Said rainbow as she leaned back in for one more kiss. the two just looked into eachothers eyes for a good minute before Rainbow broke the silence.

"Spike."

"Yeah Rainbow."

"As much as I would love to stay here, I need to go back on weather patrol."

" I under stand, just promise we can continue this later."

"I promise." Rainbow got off Spike and flew out the window, waving back at Spike. When Spike stopped waving, he fell back into the couch and let out a loud YES.

"I'm never washing these lips again." He just laid there and dosed off. He could sleep well knowing that he was dating the mare of his dreams

Chapter 3

Spike woke up to be greeted with the blinding light of the morning sun peering through the windows of the Library. He tried to block the light by hiding his eyes under the blankets, but they weren't thick enough to block out all of the light. He finally, with a groan, got up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He turned on the faucet and squirted a pea sized blob on his toothbrush.

When he was done, he examined his teeth to see how clean they were. He gave a smile and then a raised eyebrow look into the mirror.

"Well hello Rainbow, You'r looking very Spikealicious* today." and then gave his best sexy grin. Just then, the front doorbell rang. "Coming", Spike yelled out.

Spike walked downstairs and opened the door to see none other then his cyan eyed, Rainbow maned pegasus. "Rainbow, what are you doing here. I thought you had weather duty today."

"I did, but I got up early and decided to hall flank instead of taking my time so I can spend some time with my Dragon."

"Oh, so what do you want to do."

"How about we go for a walk. I know a great place with a perfect view."

"Alright. while were there we can have a picnic. Let me just get some stuff then well get going, Wait right here."

"Alright, just don't keep me waiting. You know how I feel about waiting."

"I'll just be a second Rainbow." Spike ran around the library looking for stuff to bring with. He brought out the new blanket that applejack gave him for his birthday and used that as a picnic pouch. He gathered up some apples, bananas, some sandwiches, sodas, and a Daring Doo book. He tied the blanket into a pouch, put it in a basket, and went back to the door. There was Rainbow in the doorway leaning on one of the sides of the doorway.

"There you are, you ready to get going."

"Definitely"

Both Rainbow and Spike started to walk towards a spot near the Everfree forest. As Spike and Dash walked, Spike got closer to Rainbow. Rainbow looked down to see Spike and put one of her wings around him so the two of them were right up against each other.

"Is that better."

"I..I guess. it's just, I'v never been in a relationship before. I don't know exactly how a good coltfriend is supposed to act."

"Relaxe little guy, all you really have to do is not get to girly on me. I'll tell you what, if you start crossing the line i'll tell you, deal."

"Deal."

Both Rainbow and Spike finally made it to the spot. Spike set up the picnic as Rainbow went up to clear the clouds away so the two of them could have clear skis. Spike stopped every once in a while to look up at Rainbow, He loved seeing her sleek, athletic body fly through the air. Rainbow came back from flying just in time to find the picnic all set up. Rainbow sat down next to spike as she took out a sandwich from the basket.

"Wow Spike, that looks delicious."

"Thanks. I may not be much of a cook but I'm pretty good at making sandwiches and re-heating." Spike and Rainbow enjoyed there sandwiches. After they finished, they looked out onto ponyville. Spike snuggled up to Rainbow as she spread out her wing to wrap it around Spike.

"I love this place. I come here whenever I really need to relax", said rainbow.

"I can see why rainbow, the view of ponyville is beautiful."

"It's not just the view I love. It's so far away from anypony that its so quiet, peaceful-", she said as she inched closer to Spike. "-and best of all, totally private", she said as she kissed Spike on the cheek. Spike turned and leaned in to give rainbow a kiss on the lips. Rainbow pushed spike onto his back and into her feathers as he stroked her rainbow mane. Spike started to moan with pleasure as Rainbow rubbed Spikes belly.

"You like it when I rub your belly."

"Yeah, why don't you tell me were your-"

"Hay guys", yelled out Pinkie. Both Spike and Rainbow gave a loud yelp. "Oh, you two are having a hug season. Can I join you two." Both Rainbow and Spike gave each other a quick look before looking back at Pinkie.

"Um Pinkie, were not having a hug season. Me and Spike are a couple."

"Oh that's great. you two actually make a cute couple."

"I'm sorry, We were going to tell everypony but I kinda wanted to spend some time with my special guy before we told you guys."

"It's okay guys, I understand. After all, I was in a relationship once. Actually not really a relationship, more like ponies with benefits." As Pinkie was talking, Rainbow looked over to see the clock tower and saw that they have been up there for three hours.

"Oh man, I need to get going spike-", said Rainbow as she and Spike got up. "- I promised Applejack that I would help with applebucking to repay her for smashing into her apple cart."

"Oh. Okay Rainbow. I'll see you tomorrow then."

"That's not soon enough, Ill come over at around nine. Catch ya later spike." Rainbow flew off as pinkie went right next to Spike.

"So Spike, what do you plane on getting Rainbow for her birthday."

"I got time. Her birthday isn't till the 28th, that's a whole week."

"Spike, today is the 27th" Spike went wide eyed.

"What, are you sure." All of a sudden pinkie pulled a calendar out of her tail. Spike saw that today was marked off and tomorrow was marked as Rainbow's birthday party.

"Oh no, I haven't even asked her what she wants. Pinkie you need to help me, give me an idea."

"What if Sheep really could make ponies sleepy."

"I ment about what to get Rainbow."

"Oh, well she needs a new pare of goggles, she lost her old ones at the Wonderbolt academy. Why don't you talk to Rarity, she can make one of those special some pony necklaces to go with it." Spike got a big smile on his face and gave pinkie a big hug.

"Thanks pinkie, your a life saver, I'll see you tomorrow"

"You too Spike."

_______________________________________________________________________________


Later that night, Spike was walking around the now darkness covered ponyvill with a set of goggles. The shop in town was out so he had to ask Derpy to go to Cloudsdale and pick them up...... it took her four hours to finally get back to ponyvill. Spike would be mad but he did not care anymore, all he cared about was he had Rainbows present and was about to get the necklace.

He finally made it to Rarity's boutique, the lights were on so she must be working on a new project. He opened the door to hear Rarity's sweet voice say,

"Sorry I'm closed for today, maybe you could come back tomorrow."

"Rarity, it's me Spike."

"Oh then come in. My doors always open for you spike wikey**."

"Thanks, I'm actually looking for a neckless as a gift."

"Oh, getting Twilight a early birthday present. There right this way." Both Spike and Rarity went over to her jewelry collection. He saw one that was a heart with two sides that came apart to make two (like a P.F.F. neckless). He took out two pictures and put them on the counter. He pointed at the neckless and said "That one looks perfect." Rarity looked a little shocked as she looked at Spike.

"Spike, that's a couples neckless."

"Yeah.. I guess nows a good time to tell you i've started dating somepony." Rarity took Spikes picture and put it in one of the heart peaces. She picked up the other picture and saw Rainbow there. She put it in the other heart and put the neckless down. Spike saw that she was starting to cry a little.

"What's wrong Rarity."

"I.... I always was hoping that.....that I would be your first love." Rarity started sobbing. spike went up to her and started to comfort her by hugging her.

"I didn't know you had feelings for me Rarity." she moved her hooves down his chest and pushed him on the couch. "Ow, Rarity what was that-", before he could finish, Rarity jumped on him and pined him to the couch.

"Spike, I'm sorry for this, but I just want one night. I want to know what it's like to love you." Rarity pressed her lips against Spike as he struggled to get free. The moment he wanted all his life, and he found someone else.

Spike had to think fast. Being around Rarity for so long ment he knew her one weakness, she was very tickles. He put a claw on her stomach and slowly slide it up towards her neck. She started to giggle which meant it was working. He than put both his claws under her front hooves and started to tickle her. He could tell she was trying her hardest to resist. He had to tickle her in the most sensitive spot, He started to tickle her belly while his tale tickled her flanks. Rarity couldn't take anymore and rolled over laughing. In that moment spike sprang to his feet and ran a fast as he could. He just ran to his house and didn't look back. All he heard was Rarity say "Spike wait, come back." After a while he stopped running and looked back to make sure he wasn't being followed.

"Sweet Celestia Spike, what have you gotten yourself into. How can it possible get any worse then this?

Spike was walking trough ponyvill, trying to process what had just happened back there. All these years of being treated less like a boyfriend and more like a regular friend from Rarity, and only now does she tell her how she feels.

He was torn with what to do. On one hand He still had feelings for rarity, Years of being under her every movement will do that. On the other hand, he was truly in love with Rainbow and could never cheat or break up with her. He knew that he was in love with rainbow that very day she saved his life. That day when he got lost in the everfree forest.

He was out helping zicora by lighting her pot with his fire breath and giving her an ingredient known as essence of dragon, which turned out to be just dragon spit. After he helped, the forests was to dark for him to see the road and were he was going. He could here the growls and roars of the creatures that were infesting this forest. Spike picked up his speed but no matter how fast he ran, the forest just got darker.

He ended hitting a tree, But it actually turned out to be, not a tree or even a timber wolf, But something much worse. It was a not so friendly and not very bright ent. The creature was trying to squish Spike for waking him up from his nap, And as you know if it is not the nice kind of net, you should never wake them up. Spike ran but the ent was to fast because of his long strides. Spike triped on some exposed roots and stumbled under a half uprooted tree. The ent tried reaching Spike but could not, so he started to rip the roots off the tree. Spike could do only one thing, he yelled "HELP" at the top of his lungs, hoping somepony would here him.

The next thing he knew, there was a streak and the ent was kicked to the ground. The ent was to big to get up and simply rolled away out of the forest.

When his eyes adjusted, Spike saw it was none other then Rainbow dash.

"Hey there little guy, are you okay", said Rainbow. The only thing Spike could think to do was run up to Rainbow and give her a big hug.

"Thank you Rainbow, If you hadn't showed up I may have been Root food."

"Don't mention it little guy. come on Spike, lets get you back to Twilight." The only thing Spike could think about was Rainbow saving his life. He Had been saved By Applejack and Twilight before but this one was different. He felt emotions He never felt before for Rainbow. He was very confused at what these new feelings were. Of corse he now knows that it was love, but When it first happened, He didn't know what it was like to be in love. He wanted asked Twilight but felt very embarrassed on asking this to her, So instead he asked went to ask Fluttershy (thinking such a emotional pony like her would know what to do). Fluttershy said she knew what that feeling was, Spike was in love. At first he felt disgusted at the idea but then he realized it was true, he was in love with Rainbow.

"What am I gonna do", said Spike with a sigh. Spike finally came to the library. He reached for the rocks on the side of the building and flipped one over to reveal a key. "One day Twilight this is going to bite you in the flanks", said Spike as he unlocked the door. He walked in to find the library was completely dark. He Lit a fire in the fire place and jumped on the couch. He didn't care about getting Rainbow a gift any moor, He was to busy wandering what he was gonna do now.

He started to doze off , when All of a sudden he heard a knocking on the door. Assuming it was Rarity he ignored it. He looked at the clock and realized it was nine. He jumped out of bed and went to the door. He opened it to reveal Rainbow.

"Hey there little guy, sorry to wake you up."

"Oh no, it's okay. I wasn't sleeping, just resting my eyes."

"If your too tired, I can come back tomorrow Spike."

"No it's fine, Come on it." Rainbow walked in and sat on the couch as Spike sat next to her. "Rainbow, I need to tell you something. You see I went to See Rarity today and-."

"Let me guess, she overreacted and jumped you?"

"How did you know."

"Because it's Rarity. Look Spike Do you truly love me?"

"Of corse I do."

"Then you need to tell Rarity that she had her chance and she just has to respect that you love some pony else. Trust me. Rarity can be very emotional sometimes, but she'll get over it eventually."

"Wow, for some reason I thought you were going to be so mad."

"Why would I be mad, you didn't cheat on me, Rarity jumped you." Spike had a big smile on his face but it went away because he started to shiver. "What's wrong?"

"I'm cold blooded, I have a hard time making my own body heat." Rainbow put her hooves on Spike and made him lean down on the couch as she wrapped her wings around him and laid her head on his stomach.Spike Put his arms around Rainbow. The two of them started to fall asleep until Spike said "Rainbow, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you the neckless I wanted to give you for your birthday."

"It's okay Spike, you don't have to get me anything for my birthday, But how about I give you a early birthday present.", said Rainbow as she inched herself up and gave Spike a deep kiss. There tongs met inside each others mouths. Rainbows hoof trailed down past Spikes Belly and went down further. Spike broke the kisses and said,

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing, I'm gonna make you a man", said Rainbow as she leaned back in to kiss Spike Before he stopped her. "What's the matter. If your not ready yet just say so, we don't have to do... you know... If you don't want to."

"No it's not that, it's just, can we maybe move this up to the bed? I don't think there will be enough room for us here."

"Okay, Put out the fire and I'll meet you upstairs", said Rainbow as she jumped off and walked away as she gently caressed Spikes chin with her tail. Spike jumped over to the fire and put it out. Spike walked upstairs to see Rainbow under the covers showing only her eyes.

Spike went under the blankets and crawled up to Rainbow Until he was right on top or her. "Are you sure your ready for this Spike?"

"I've never been more sure about anything." Spike leaned down and gave Rainbow a kiss as the two of them had a night under the blankets And expressed there love for each other.
