The Only Chapter
It was a nice and warm evening in Ponyville. As the sun starts to set many ponies begin to walk to their homes. Inside in Rarity's Carousel Boutique Rarity was just finishing the last stitches on a new dress for an order that was requested by a mare in Canterlot. As she finishes Rarity walks over to the kitchen to grab herself a glass of water. As she got to the kitchen, she could hear muffled sounds coming from upstairs.
"My word what is going on up there?" She says as she tilts her head towards the noise, her ears perked. Filled with curiosity she walks towards the stairs. Not being able to make out what she hears she quietly walks up the staircase. When she gets to Sweetie Belle’s room she hears what sounds like moaning.
"What in Celestia’s name is going on in there?"
She quickly uses magic to twist door knob. Before she gets the door opened very much she hears something that caught her completely off guard.
"Oh Spike, you’re so big!” She hears Sweetie moan softly.
"Oh sweet Celestia, Sweetie Belle, you’re so soft and warm!" She hears Spike say in a soft moan.
Realizing what they are doing, Rarity pushes the door open with her magic and walks into the room. As she enters Sweetie Belle's room, her eyes widen with surprise. She saw her sister and Spike sitting on top on each other with their lips locked together, Spike's claws gently rubbing Sweetie Belle's flank as she lets out a small moan of pleasure.
"What in the name of Luna is going on in here!? “ She yells at them.
Surprised Sweetie Belle and Spike release each other before facing Rarity while blushing with embarrassment.
"Rarity, get out of here!" Sweetie Belle cries before tossing a pillow at her sister's face. Rarity uses her magic to catch the pillow before it could hit her in the face. Tossing the pillow onto the ground, she just stares at the young couple.
“I know you two have been together for around five years but I can’t believe this!” Rarity screams at them.
“Sweetie Belle! This is not like you! And Spike!....” She lets herself trail off.
Looking at them, she calms herself down a bit before she speaks again. "It's late darling, I just heard you two making noises so I came up here to check on you, but I wasn't expecting this." Rarity says with a blush of embarrassment and anger.
Both Sweetie Belle and Spike couldn't help but blush even more with embarrassment and couldn't help but smile a bit at each other.
"That's alright Rarity, just next time would you knock before entering the room." Spike asks.
"Yeah!" Sweetie Belle pipes out with a squeak.
"Alright you two it's getting late, I'm afraid you must be on your way Spike." Rarity says as before swallowing back the lump in her throat.
Spike looks at the clock and nods.
"Aw do you have to go now?" Sweetie Belle asks with a pout at her sister begging her to make him stay for a little while longer.
"Yeah I should be on my way, don't want to give Twilight a panic attack if I'm not home early." He says.
"Now Sweetie Belle, you know that Spike has a lot a duties for Twilight at the castle. Besides it’s getting late and you need to get ready for bed" Rarity says with a look of sadness and disappointment on her face.
Spike could only nod and hop off the bed.
"Well I guess I'll be on my way." Spike says as he heads past Rarity.
As Spike walks past her Sweetie falls back on her bed with a huff of disappointment.
Rarity reaches out a hoof to tap him on the shoulder as she turns and steps across the room’s threshold and closes the door.
"Uh Rarity, are you alright?" he asks.
"Spike? Could you stay for a moment, I need to talk to you." she asks in quiet voice.
"Uh sure Rarity.” Spike says with a little worry on his face.
Rarity follows Spike to the living room where he took a seat on the couch. Rarity stepped up and took a seat at the opposite end. Spike opened his mouth to talk but Rarity cut him off with a raised hoof.
"Spike, I need to tell you something and it's very important that you listen, alright?" she says with a small shiver of fear for how the night will end.
"What is it Rarity?” He asks with concern on his face. She takes a deep breath before looking up at him.
"Spike, you have always been one of my very closest and most treasured friends, and while I'm happy that you are dating Sweetie Belle. I can’t help but feel a bit jealous" she says. Spike looks at her with confusion and a bit of hurt.
"But I need to tell you something and I hope you can understand." she says timidly.
“Um okay, what do you want to tell me?" he asks.
"Come on Rarity. He's right here you need to tell him how you feel." she thought for herself.
Rarity closes her eyes as she feels a tear roll down her cheek, shortly followed by a warm hug from Spike.
"Rarity, if there's something you need to tell me, I'm right here." He says softly.
Rarity lets go of all control and cries in to his shoulder, soaking his scales.
"Oh Spike I'm sorry!" she says in a sob. Spike just rubbed her back soothingly.
"Rarity tell me what's wrong." he says in a worried tone.
Rarity pulls back from his grip then faces Spike and wipes her remaining tears away.
"Rarity if you want to tell me something, go ahead, I won't be angry for anything you tell me." He says as he gently her damp mane out of her eyes.
"Spike, I- I love you." she said finally letting her breath out.
Spike was just staring at her. His big emerald eyes wide with surprise at what Rarity just said.
"Did you just?”… He asks not finishing his sentence.
Spike opens his mouth to say something but she cuts him off with a hoof placed on his claw.
"I can't take this anymore Spike, I have always loved you. Since the day you came to Ponyville with Twilight, I always found you so cute…”
They were both silent.
"But as time passed on, I started to find you as more than a friend, but I simply did not have the courage to tell you…" She says in just more than a whisper.
Spike just sits there opening and closing his mouth like he can’t figure out what to say.
"It hurts me so much to see you two together as much as I wanted to be with you, to tell you how much love you, but couldn't." she says trembling with sadness.
Spike looks at her. His brow slowly furrowing in to anger.
"It took you this long to say it?!" Spike yells with a hiss.
"W-what do y-you mean?" she asks.
"Do you have any idea how long I poured my feelings out to you only to be rejected?!" he yelled in anger.
"Spike, I tried to tell you but-“ She tries to say before she is cut off by him pulling his claw away from her hoof.
"No, let me tell you something Rarity." Spike growls as he looks in to her teal blue eyes.
"Ever since I came here to Ponyville seven years ago, you were the most beautiful mare I ever laid eyes on." he says almost silently but loud enough for Rarity to hear the fury in his voice.
"Even back then, you were the only mare I ever wanted to be with. Every day I tried everything to get your attention, just so I could at least get a smile from you. But you know what I get in return from you?" Nothing, absolutely nothing!” He yells at her.
Rarity starts crying again, her mascara coming off and flowing from her cheeks to her white coat.
"I spent about two years trying to be with you, but you never gave me a chance!” Spike yells at her.
"You never gave any hints that you liked me other than a friend! So I moved on! Now you come to me with all this because your fucking jealous?!” Spike screams furiously.
Rarity gasps at the when that word and his tone of voice hit her ears.
"I spent almost every day crying in fear that I may never get a mare as beautiful as you!" he says as his eyes start to water.
"But all of that changed when Sweetie Belle came in to the picture and I realized that there were ponies out there that cared about me and loved me for me!" He screams as his voice cracks and tears begin to flow down his scaly cheeks.
When Rarity hears her sisters name she cringes.
"Not long after Sweetie Belle saw that I gave up she was there to pick up the pieces of my heart that you just threw away! She put me back together and I fell in love with her! I love Sweetie Belle God damn it!”
Spike jumps off the couch and glares at Rarity.
"She has given me something that you never bothered to even consider giving me! She has given me hope, compassion, comfort, generosity and something that you never even bothered to.... love!"
Rarity cries harder as she hears his word stabbing in to her heart like daggers. Spike throws his claws in the air and turns around and walks to the door.
Before he opens the door, he turns around and looks back at Rarity.
"Rarity, I want to let you know, that even if you still have feelings for me, there will always be space for you in my heart. But now that I'm with Sweetie Belle now, there is nothing that I can do but accept your feelings for what they are." he says with a sad look in his eyes.
Rarity gets off the couch and runs over to him.
“Spike ple-“ She stops short at the glare in his eyes.
"You had your chance before and now you lost it.” He says quietly.
“I’m sure there are stallions out there that will love you. But this dragon has found his love and no longer needs yours. I’ll see you around Rarity.” He says before opening the door and leaving Rarity sitting in the door way crying.
Rarity closes the door with her magic and hears a sniffle from behind her.
"Sw-Sweetie Belle?" she asks as she turns around to see her sister siting on the staircase crying silently.
"I heard everything." she says before running over and hugging Rarity tightly.
Rarity hangs on to her sister crying in to her shoulder and neck as Sweetie Belle cries in to hers.
“I-I’m so sorry Rarity. I love Spike with all my heart… W-Why didn’t you tell him before hand?” Sweetie asks.
“I-I couldn’t tell him S-Sweetie Belle.” She sobs.
Rarity throws her head back “ IM SORRY SPIKE! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I LOVE YOU!” She wails to the ceiling.
Sweetie Belle just holds her sister in her time of need and silently cries.
