It was morning in Equestria. The light was shining into Twilight's room. Waking up, she yawned and used her wings to lift herself off her bed. She had a lot of stuff she needed to take care of, but she wasn't sure what to start with. Spike was still asleep, snoring in a way Twilight found adorable. Slowly, she walked over to his bed and smiled, watching the gentle rise-and-fall of his chest. Twilight smiled at her assistant's calm nature. She sat there for several seconds, until Spike started to get woken up by sunlight flooding the room. As Spike began to stir, Twilight quickly galloped out of the room and went down to the kitchen to make breakfast, hoping he hadn't noticed her. Why couldn't I move? she wondered, remembering how she had wasted almost a minuite by watching Spike sleep. She however, shrugged it off, and started to make breakfast. Spike emerged a few seconds later, with a relaxed look on his face.
"Hey Twilight! What's up?"
Twilight let out a yawn and flipped the pancake. "The roof is, silly. You get a good night's sleep?"
Spike nodded, and grabbed a toothpick and started using it between his teeth. He wasn't really sure what the point was, but it was a bit of a habbit he had developed. Twilight brought a stack pancakes to the table, but when she set them down, she didn't see Spike.
"Spike? Where are you? I have pancakes!" she called, looking around. "I made them special for you!"
A few seconds later, Spike came downstairs wearing a tacky outfit that kind of looked like something a jester would wear if he was rich. "Sorry," he apoligized. "I was just putting my loot suit on."
Twilight narrowed her eyes. "Your what?"
Spike rolled his eyes. "It's this thing you wear to get girls to notice you. And something tells me Rarity is going to notice me."
Twilight groaned. "Spike, there's more to wooing a mare than a tacky outfit. I'm a mare, why don't you ask me for advice?"
Spike thought for a second. "Hmm...good idea...hey Twilight, can I ask you something?"
Twilight facehoofed herself, and after eating an awkward breakfast, sat Spike down and started talking to him.
"The first thing you need to do is talk to her and make her feel important." Twilight explained; "Kind of like yesterday when you conforted Fluttershy when she lost her Ice cream cone. "To be fair, just treat Rarity like she's me, only you want to ask her out on a date."
Spike thought for a couple seconds. "Got it. Treat Rarity well and make her feel important. Gee, it's not like I don't already do that." he said the last sentance with a smote of arragance.
Without giving her a chance to reply, Spike got up, put his loot suit back on, and walked out the door.
"Sorry Twilight, but I think I've got this." he said, half out loud, half to himself. Spike began to walk down the road to Rarity's house. As he continued his tread, he started to feel guilty. He had ignored Twilight when she had been trying to help him, and hadn't even thanked her for breakfast. But he forced the feelings of guilt away as he knocked on Rarity's door. So what if Twilight wanted to lecture him? He wasn't an idiot.
Spike didn't get a reply, but he noticed the door was unlocked. Part of him told him he shouldn't go in, but his curosity finally won over, and he opened the door very quietly. The shop was empty, but he saw a light in one of the rooms upstairs. Slowly tiptoeing further, he started hearing hearing wispering. Spike starting walking slowly upstairs, and stopped in front of the door. I shouldn't do this. The sane part of him argued. Spike however, couldn't stop now. The wispering had gotten louder, and he could make out Rarity's voice...and somepony he didn't reconize.
Spike peeped in, slowly. His heart stopped when he saw Rarity. Rarity was making out with a large brown unicorn stallion, and to his horror, they spotted him. The stallion jerked his head away, and glared at dragon.
"Who are you?!" he shouted, using his magic to grab Spike and slam him up against the wall. "Why were you spying on us?!"
Spike shuddered in fear. He tried to break free, but it was no use. The stallion was pissed, and Spike knew he had no choice but to open up his feelings.
"I'm sorry!" Spike shouted, trying to break free. "It's just...I...came over here to seewhatwasgoingon!" he gasped. Rarity looked at him guiltilly, knowing that he hadn't meant any harm. "Blazer Hooves, please let him go. He's just my friend, and he didn't know that you were here." she begged, tugging at his back leg. Spike had no idea what Rarity was doing here. Was this some sort of sick prank?
Blazer Hooves whipped around to face her and struck Rarity across the face. "Listen up, bitch," he spat. "I thought I told you not to take that tone with me!" Rarity let out a sob, and let her head droop to the ground. What is going on? Spike wondered in horror, as Blazer turned back to face him, his fury changing to icy calm. How does Rarity know this freak? Spike wondered. Suddenly, Blazer's horn glowed a yellowish color, and a yellow beam struck inside of Spike's throat. Spike felt an agonizing sensation, as he wailed in pain. Rarity let out a shreak of horror, and tried to stop Blazer from what he was doing. "Please don't hurt him! I'll do anything you say!" she shreaked, breaking down into tears. Blazer stopped using his magic and turned to face her. "Anything?"
Rarity sobbed and nodded. Blazer looked thoughtful, then shoved Rarity on her bed. He then looked at her. "Wait for me while I dispose of this shitwad from the premises."
Spike let out a gasp of horror, realizing what was going to happen to Rarity once he was kicked out. "You won't get away with doing that to her!" Spike choked, tears welling up in his eyes. "She'll get away eventually, or, or...I'll tell Twilight!"
Blazer let out a laugh. "You're not going to do anything. And good luck getting help when I leave." he sneered, picking up Spike, and casting another spell. This time, he shot a beam that struck Spike in the heart. Although it didn't hurt, Spike felt his mind slowwing down. It was some kind of spell that put it's victim to sleep for many hours. After what felt like eterninty, Blazer stopped, and started carring Spike downstairs. "Have a nice day, kid." he jeered, opening the door, and giving Spike one more vicious punch, before flinging him out.
"Now," Blazer said in Spike's ear. "I'm going to go back and do something with your little friend. But don't worry, she'll still be...a flipping brat when I'm done...just a little more ashamed. Let's just say our relationship is going towards the deep end."
Spike was in so much pain he couldn't even cry, he just laid there and released tears. He heard the door slam behind him, and he closed his eyes, and passed out.
Hours passed, and Spike started to fade somewhat back towards conciousness, but did not fully re-awaken.
"How did Spike end up like this?"
"I don't know, I found him like this in the middle of a field when I was feeding my bird friends, Twilight."
"This isn't a normal injury, It's a blast from a magical spell. Something OR-somepony did something to your assistant."
"Spike, it's me Twilight. Please Spike, wake up..."
"Has anypony seen Rarity?"
"Rarity hasn't been seen by anyone since last night. Sweetie Belle was at a sleepover, and when she came home this afternoon, she didn't see anypony."
After about a day of being unconcious, Spike started coming to.
Twilight had been watching Spike the whole night, trying to make him feel better in any way she could. She was with him when he woke up, and was so excited to see him ok, that the nurses had to pull her off of him for hugging him to the point where he could barely breathe.
"Spike, what happened to you?" she asked, genuine fear in her voice. Spike looked at her closer. She had no idea of anything about what had happened. But he didn't want to talk about it right now.
"I don't want to talk about it right now, Twi...too terrible...Rarity's gone..." he said, not even caring that his sentances didn't make much sense.
Twilight leaned up to face him. "I understand you were through a lot. But you need to talk to me, Spike. You know where Rarity is?"
Spike was about to talk, when he let out a cough, letting out a small jet of saliva and blood from his mouth.
Twilight let out a wail of terror, and her wings started flapping like crazy. There was terror in her eyes, as though she thought Spike was about to die in front of her.
Spike managed to let out a weak smile. "I'm not doing to die on my best friend today." he told her, smiling as he wiped a tear from her eye. "I promise."
Twilight let out another sob, although her face had hope in it. "You're my best friend too, Spike, and you allways will be."
Spike managed to lean up a little. "Twilight...can you bring me some gems?"
Twilight nodded. "Anything for my Spikey-wikey." she said, kissing him on the cheek, and running off as quickly as possible.
Spike's mind suddenly snapped as she had shut the door. She called me Spikey-wikey and kissed me on the cheek! That's something Rarity does-DID. Does...she? ...no, she couldn't. Twilight was just his friend. She was just worried for him, that was it. He told himself, breathing calmly. However, before Twilight made it back with the gems, Spike started to fall asleep again. Stay awake, his mind told him. But his body wasn't going to let that happen, and before he knew it, he was out.
Spike was awoken by Twilight the next morning for breakfast.
"Spikey! Spikey-wikey! I brought you gems!" Twilight said, gently waking him up.
Spike let out a yawn, feeling a lot better than he had last night. In fact, he felt like he had before...what had happened yesterday.
Spike sat up. "What happened? I feel so much better?"
Twilight smiled. "Oh, I cast a healing spell on you. You were injured by a unicorn magic blast."
Spike smiled. "Thanks for the gems, Twi, and for healing me."
Twilight nodded. "You're welcome, Spikey-wikey. Now look, I know you don't want to talk about it, but I want to know who hurt you."
Spike sighed. "I don't know about right now..."
Twilight's eyes glared coldly. "Spikey, I want to know. There's no way I'm going to let whoever did this to you get away with it."
Spike gulped at her cold tone. Finally, he spoke. "All right, Twi, I'll tell you. So, it started when I left the house last morning wearing that tacky outfit. By the way, I'm sorry that I didn't listen to your advice, you were probably right."
Twilight smiled. "It's okay, Spikey, I forgive you. I'm sorry I was so harsh on you."
Spike nodded and continued. "Okay, then I got to Rarity's and I knocked on the door, but there wasn't anyone there." His throat became a little hoarse with pain as he continued. "She didn't answer, so I walked inside and then upstairs because I saw a light on. But then..." he let out a sob as he continued. "I-I saw Rarity kissing this one brown unicorn...he was...awful. He grabbed me up against a wall and started hurting me...Rarity tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. He told her that he would kill me if she didn't do anything he said, then-then he threw me out and I don't remember anything after that..."
Twilight had a horrified look on her face. As if she barely beleived what she had heard. Finally, she walked over to Spike. "It's okay," she wispered. "I promise we'll find him. So do you think Rarity is with him now?"
Spike nodded. At first he didn't really think about much, until he realized something. Rarity was a unicorn. Why hadn't she tried to use her magic to save him? And how had she met that jerkass? Something told Spike that Rarity must not be as kind or generious as he had thought. That sudden thought caused anger to start to build in the young dragon.
"This is all her fault!" he wailed. "She could have u-used her magic to stop him, but she just-barely did anything!"
Spike expected a scolding from Twilight about not judging somebody's actions, but instead or scolding him, Twilight nodded. "Maybe you're right. Rarity's not a pushover, and she's not stupid. Maybe she isn't our friend after all."
Spike gulped. "You mean, she's bad?"
Twilight put a hoof up to her muzzle. "It's completely a possibility."
Spike shuddered, his remaining hope crumbled. "Why, why..." he began, but faded off, and started crying. "Twilight, thank you for helping me," he snifled. "But I need to be alone."
Twilight nodded, and kissed him on the cheek. "Feel better, Spikey-wikey."
Spike was jerked out of his sadness for a jolt of confusion.Why does she keep calling me that and kissing me? She's still like Twilight, but also kind of like Rarity if she liked me even more...WAIT...no, Twilight just likes me as a friend. She's just concerned for me. Spike told himself this for the second time, and didn't think much of it. He just sat there in scilence for almost an hour, his thoughts spinning.
Finally, Twilight came back in. "Spike." she said. "I have some good news. The unicorn you saw was spotted with Rarity in Dodge City. They're not there anymore, but we have a feeling we know where to look for them."
Spike smiled. "That's a releif." he muttered, sitting up.
"Also...we have some friends here to see you." Twilight said. Suddenly, a group of dragons and the majority of the mane six entered. Spike reconized Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Ember, a short fat dragon, and ...Garble?
"Why-how did you get the dragons here?" asked Spike. Ember chuckled. "Your friend Rainbow Dash managed to get the news out fast."
Spike looked at Garble nervously "But...why did he come? He hates me!"
Garble grinned. "Oh I hate you all right, but it just so happens I also like me a little drama now and then." Turning to Twilight he grinned. "By the way, Spike's nerdy friend, just wanted to say, I don't usually go for ponies, but that mane is really sexy. What do you do with it?"
Twilight gave him an icy glare, and Rainbow Dash turned to face him.
"Are you hitting on my friend?" she asked, shoving him.
Garble grinned, and shoved her. "Maybe I am, you whiny brat."
Spike suddenly burped up a letter. On it, was a note:
Dear Spike, hope you feel better soon. Next time I come to ponyville, I'll bring you something Special.
Love, Celestia.
The rest of the ponies and dragons read it. When it got to Garble, he snatched it from Rainbow Dash. "So this is how you ponies send your stupid letters. Using this deformed freak. He'll be lucky if he ever flies or breathes fire!"
Applejack punched him in the side. "I've had just 'bout enough of you being a jackass. Either be kind, or get out!"
Garble snorted. "Whatever, he knows he's a little baby. Little Spikey's crush left him for a stallion who's probably cooler. I'll start respecting you when a girl-pony or dragon-kisses you on the lips." With that, he laughed and walked away.
The rest of the room occupants looked at each other in amazement. As Spike began to cry, Rainbow Dash went over to hug him. "Spike," she wispered. "I'll let you kiss me if you want."
Spike snifled. "Thanks Rainbow Dash, but I could never live with myself if I made my friend do something they weren't happy with."
Rainbow Dash was about to object, saying that Spike was the coolest guy she knew, but Twilight gave her tail a jerk with her magic.
"Rainbow Dash, I know you're trying to be nice, but you're not helping." Twilight Sparkle said, opening the door. "If you want to help, get Garble back here and make him apoligize."
Rainbow Dash nodded. "Come on guys! Let's go kick some dragon ass!"
Twilight glared at her. "We're not trying to beat him up...at least not that much. So don't get any ideas."
Rainbow Dash nodded.
Ember and the fat dragon looked at each other.
"We probably should head back." Ember said.
The fat dragon nodded his head.
"Okay," Twilight replied. "Have a safe trip back."
Both dragons nodded, and left.
"We'll be back." Rainbow Dash said, as she and all the other ponies except for Twilight left.
Once they were gone, Spike closed his eyes. He was amazed by the extremes that had just gone through. The last ten minuites had been some of the most extreme moments of his life on an emotional level. But what he didn't know is the extremeness wasn't about to end...
"Spikey, I'm sorry he was so mean to you..." Twilight told Spike, climbing on his bed next to him. "We'll make him say sorry."
Spike nodded. "Thanks, Twilight."
Twilight lifted his head. "You know, Spikey-wikey, it's all right. I've never gotten kissed on the lips before either. Do I look like a wimp?"
Spike shook his head. "But you're not a guy! You're not looked down on by everyone because you never smooched a guy! Maybe...I should have just kissed Dash."
Twilight nodded. "Spikey, I understand. But you don't have to be upset. Maybe...some mare-any girl-will...kiss you eventually."
Spike looked at her in confusion. "Twilight, why do you keep calling me Spikey or Spikey-Wikey, and by the way, why do you keep kissing me on the cheek?"
Twilight bit her lip, and looked away from Spike. "I-I don't think we should talk about that."
Spike wasn't going to deal with another roadblock in the way of his question. Finally, he glared up at her. "Twilight, I told you what happened to me, and now I want an answer."
Finally, Twilight sighed. "Spike, it's something that could change your view on me forever. It's kind of like...how when you wanted to impress Rarity, only imagine that you're Rarity, and I'm you..."
Spike jolted back when he realized what she meant. "Twilight...do you like me?"
Twilight shook her head. "Spike, I don't like you, I...love you."
This time Spike almost fell against the headboard of the bed he was so shocked. "You...love me?"
Twilight started to cry, when she realized that she had said too much. Her ears drooped and she expected to be laughed at.
"Twilight, I'm not mad at you. Honestly, I don't know what to say, but I'm not mad."
"Really?" she said, holding back tears.
Spike nodded, and pulled her closer. "Twilight, I know how you feel. I felt the same way about Rarity...but...here we are now...everything seems different."
Twilight nodded. "I know how you feel." Letting out a shudder, as though she was about to do something she would regret, smiled.
"Twilight?"
Twilight started leaning closer towards Spike, her muzzle getting close to his lips.
Spike tried to move back, but he found himself cornered against the bed.Don't make Twilight go through what you went through, a voice whispered in his head. She cares about you, and you care about her, go for it! Finally, he closed his eyes and moved towards her. Spike felt a sense of hope and amazement rise up in him, as he felt a new feeling, as though he could finally feel joy again.
Without warning, the door to the room, opened, and a set of gasps were let out by the mane six members that had left just a moment ago and Garble.
Spike felt Twilight shudder, but she didn't try to break away from the kiss, so he didn't either.
Finally, the silence was broken by Pinkie Pie bursting into laughter. "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! You never said Spike would get a kiss on the lips, and right now he's getting kissed!"
Garble let out an angry snarl. "You're wasting your time with him, pony! Why kiss some looser?"
Twilight's eyes flared, and she gently pushed Spike aside. "I don't know. Maybe you're just jealous."
Garble let out a laugh. "Me?"
Twilight nodded. "Yes, I said you. You're a whiny baby who probably never got kissed by anyone. Get lost, you loveshy bitch."
The entire room except for Garble started laughing, and Garble ran off, crying.
For a few seconds, nobody said anything. Spike was just siting there in amazement. Twilight may have just been his friend this morning, but he couldn't keep it a lie to himself any longer; he had a crush on Twilight. He would probably never sort things out with Rarity, and now there was a new mare, who cared for him greatly, who was there for him.
Twilight looked back at Spike. "Well...I'm sorry about me kissing you...but...at least something good happened..."
Spike said nothing, wondering what the alicorn's reaction would be.
"Oh Spike, I'm so sorry!" she sobbed, her eyes watering. "Please, I'll do anything you want!"
Spike thought for a moment. "Twilight..."
Twilight looked up at him. "Yes?"
"Will you go out on a date with me?"
Twilight froze. "Are you playing...a joke on me? Are you still angry with me?"
Spike shook his head. "Look Twilight, I may not...love you, but you've always been really sweet to me. You're kind, beautiful, awkward, shy...and perfect-" Spike gulped, his confidence lowering as he had slipped to far. "I mean pretty cool!" he lied. "So look, what I'm trying to say is, will you go out on a date-"
"Yes!" she said, hugging him. "I'd love too! And I promise to stop calling you Spikey-wikey!"
Spike frowned. "You don't have to, I think it's cute when you call me that."
Pinkie suddenly butted in. "Aww...he likes you! You two should kiss again! I'll take a picture for my scrapbook!"
"Knock it off." Applejack scolded, glaring at her.
Twilight smiled. "Okay, Spikey, if that's what you want."
Suddenly, Fluttershy piped up. "Oh Spike, this sounds romantic and all, but where are you to going to go?"
