It was stupid, it made the young unicorn filly; Sweetie Belle stick her tongue out. The thought of a stallion and a mare, or a stallion and another stallion, or just mare and mare together in a happy relationship made the unicorn Crusader let out a joyful squeak. But the idea of her being in love, it made her shake and groan.
Young ponies, shouldn't be in love.
But, here was Sweetie Belle sitting by herself. Muttering under her breath about this and that, her breath could be seen in the cold December morning. The gentle snow that fell upon her mane, the way she swings her back hooves, gently brushing against the ground that she nearly couldn't reach.
It was all because of some pony. Or well in Sweetie Belle's case. Some dragon, but not any stupid dragon. But, the stupid and lovable Spike. It was all his fault that Sweetie Belle's cheeks were warm in the cold air that rushed through her mane. It was his fault that she felt a strange flutter in her chest just from thinking about her and Spike together.
Imagining that the young dragon was sitting next to her, his gentle claw rest on top of her hoof while her head leans onto his shoulder. Embracing the warm feeling of his scales against her soft and smooth fur. Or maybe he just has his arm behind her bring the Unicorn Crusader closer to his warm body.
Sweetie Belle shook away that evil imagination. Even if did sound kind of nice. Nope, still stupid Spike's fault that she was like this. He shouldn't have been there, he should have been helping Twilight or any pony else, anyone else beside Rarity. If he just chose to go to Sweet Apple Acres or Sugar Cube Corner, then it would have never happened.
It was worst that Rarity took a picture of the two of them when the catastrophe happened.
When Sweetie Belle nose collided into Spike's nose.
It was heinous. Well, Sweetie Belle thought so. Rarity on the other hoof, just thought it was just adorable. She would think that Sweetie knew what her older sister has been trying to do for a while. She has been trying to set Spike and Sweetie Belle up on a date all because The Element of Generosity thought the only reason why Spike been coming around a lot was because of Sweetie Belle.
Now, Sweetie Belle didn't know what to think anymore. Spike was still Spike. But at the same time, he wasn't. It didn't make any sense, she didn't know how to explain anything anymore, she didn't know what to feel. Should she be mad and angry at Spike because of the bumping of the noses? Or should she feel flustered, and shyly look away while rubbing her hoof into the ground.
She didn't even know how Spike felt about all this. Did he like it too? Did he think it was a complete accident? He did look rather shocked at Sweetie Belle's nose touching against his. But, his rough and tough scales did feel rather nice against her coat.
From what Sweetie Belle remember from the nose accident. Well, that what she calls it. Is that both herself and Spike was rushing towards the Carousel Boutique, then Sweetie Belle tripped over a rock. She stumbles and wobbles to regain her balance, but right before her face could come into collision with the ground. It hit something else.
Her eyes were wide, a wide smile on her lips knowing that she didn't hit the ground. But, once she saw the purple and green dragon with his brand new wings. (That Scootaloo has been complaining about day and night.) He was shocked, it felt like seconds, minutes or an hour. Sweetie Belle wasn't sure anymore.
Her nose rubbing against Spike's nose. She thought the two of them would have stayed like that forever until that loud snap sound filled the air. It felt like all of Ponyville, no all of Equestria grew silent while the two of them were pressed against each other. But, that snap from the camera caused everything to begin again. The birds twitter, the ponies stomp pass and Sweetie Belle and Spike quickly departed.
He did look shocked, sweat rolling down the back of his head. His eyes widen, his legs shaking, his new wings moving back. And Sweetie Belle ran away. She didn't look back towards Spike, she didn't look where she was going. All she knew was that she needed to get away from Spike, away from Rarity, away from the Camera that snapped that embarrassing photo of them together.
And that's how Sweetie Belle ended up, sitting alone on a wooden bench. While the snow creeps down from the sky, watching the Colts and Fillies playing snowball fights, building snow ponies. She just sighs.
"Mind if I sit next to you?"
Sweetie Belle looked at Spike, he scratched the back of his head. Sweetie Belle knew he was nervous, Spike always scratches behind his head whenever he was nervous. She didn't speak, silently nodded her head. Spike let out a chuckle, brushing away the snow on the bench to sit next to The Unicorn Crusader.
She looked over at him with her shining emerald eyes. Whenever she turned around, she felt his gaze on her. It made her smile, knowing that he was just as shy as she was. The two of them sat in silence, his claw so close to her hoof, but yet to Sweetie Belle it felt like miles away.
"I like it." The young male dragon finally spoke up again.
It felt like the two of them was sitting there for hours, just waiting for the other to finally say something.
"Huh?" Sweetie just let out.
"Your touch. The feeling of your fur against my scales. It was nice." Spike said he was looking away from her. But Sweetie Belle could see the light shade of red creeping onto his cheeks.
"I like it too. I thought a lot about it. And I like your touch too." Sweetie spoke, she was looking away from him as well, but the warm feeling on her cheeks didn't disappear.
Sweetie Belle eyes widen feeling his claw on top of her hoof. She looked at Spike before he could pull away in fear. She gave him a light smile and a nod. She rested onto his shoulder, his scales against her fur. It felt better in reality than in her imagination.
A young thirteen-year-old Sweetie Belle lay on top of her bed, wearing her bright pink pyjamas. It was a Sunday Night, the clock was about to hit nine. All young Sweetie Belle was doing was tapping a pen against her chin in thought. Her tongue sticking out, severely pieces of paper were already made into a tight ball and threw towards the now almost full rubbish bin.
During dinner time, Sweetie Belle's mother, Cookie Crumbles was telling another one of her stories about how she and Sweetie Belle's father; Hondo Flanks met. One story caught the young teenagers interest, a story about a love letter. Leaving inside the locker of Sweetie's father.
That's why there was a mountain of trash building up. Sweetie Belle let out a cry, slamming her head against her pillow. Muffling her screams, why was this so hard? She didn't even know how to start it, should it be Dear Spike, or Hey Spike, or What's up, Spike? Why was there so many that didn't feel right?
This just seemed impossible.
Her unclicked pen tapped against the blank piece of paper, she was quickly running out of. Her lips pouted, she looked around her room. Pink walls, a stuff dragon doll that sat on her pillow. It was purple and green, it was small and cute. Heart shaped pillows on the only chair in the corner, her bookshelf with her movies and books collection. Toys from her favourite movies and T.V shows.
Then it happened. Out of nowhere, a burst of creativity. She quickly grabbed her pen and paper placing them onto her bedside table. Her tongue stuck out of her mouth, as she wrote down word after word. Sweetie Belle almost didn't know what she was writing anymore, she was just writing down what came from her heart.
That the only thing that matters was the letter that held all of her feelings towards her crush; Spike. A loud knock at her door caused Sweetie Belle to jump in shock.
The young teenager let out a soft yawn. Turning off the lamp, falling fast asleep entering her world of dreams and holding her dragon doll tight. Cuddling it while drifting off, dreaming of tomorrow and all the wonders that awaited her.
Dear Spike;
I need to tell you this, I love you. I had and still have a crush on you, ever since Kindergarten. I know we're both friends, but I want to hold your hands and kiss you on the cheek. I want to just be with you because I really do like you Spike, my schmoopy-doopy pie. My sweet crumb cake, you make my heart beat faster. I feel like our hearts are one, trying to pull us closer together. All I'm saying is that I love you Spike, and please meet me out at the courtyard either at Lunch or after school on Monday. Love Sweetie Belle đź’–
It was Monday night; six O'clock. Sweetie Belle poke at her dinner; lasagna. Rarity was rather quiet, so was the whole dinner table. In the morning, Sweetie Belle slipped the love letter into Spike's locker, just to learn that he was sick on that day.
"I slip a love letter into my crush's locker this morning." Sweetie Belle suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence between the family.
"That's fantastic. You're much braver than me, I was too afraid to give Hondo Flanks my love letter. It was really embarrassing." Cookie Crumbles spoke
Sweetie Belle blinked in horror. She was trying to remember what she wrote towards Spike.
"But it all worked out in the end right?" Sweetie asked Cookie Crumbles giggled.
"Hondo and I both laugh about it later. But, I never gave it to him until we were already dating in high school." Cookie Crumbles explained.
Sweetie Belle was internal screaming. Quickly eating her dinner, she rushed up the stairs and fell onto her bed. She looked at her phone and the app Memo. Sweetie readied through the letter she wrote, it was lucky that she copies everything down on both paper and on her phone.
Sweetie Belle couldn't believe what she wrote down. She let out another scream, she quickly dialled Apple Bloom's and Scootaloo's numbers in a panic. One ring, two rings, three rings.
Hello? Scootaloo's voice sounded a bit tired, but Sweetie could hear the sounds of video games being played in the background.
Howdy Belle Apple Bloom voice sounded just as cheerful as always.
"Girls, I made a big mistake. I need to get the love letter that I wrote to Spike back before he reads it. Or my life will be over!" Sweetie Belle cried out
Hold on Belle. What's happened? This morning you couldn't stop talking about you would never regret this. Scootaloo spoke
I'm with Scoots. This seems out of left field, what's so bad on that letter that Spike can't read it. Apple Bloom said
"I call him my schmoopy-doopy pie. My sweet crumb cake." Sweetie Belle explains, she heard Scootaloo laughter.
Okay, here's the plan. Tomorrow Spike has piano practice in the morning before class and then he has P.E. If we all skip first period, you, Scoots and I can go to Spike's locker. Break in, find your love letter, destroy it and all get milkshakes at Sugar Cube Corner after. Apple Bloom said
"But, my perfect record." Sweetie Belle softly said.
What's more important Belle, your life or your perfect record? Scootaloo asked
"Where should I meet you, girls?" Sweetie Belle asked
Outside of Spike's locker. We'll all go to the bathroom and stay in there when the bell was about to ring and wait a few minutes for all the students to clear the halls. Apple Bloom said
"You girls are lifesavers," Sweetie said.
Yeah, yeah. You shouting for Sugar Cube Corner to make it up for us. But I don't mind since I have a test this morning. And I didn't bother studying Scootaloo said.
"Thank girls, see you in the morning." Sweetie Belle said, knowing the sleepless night and the incoming nightmare that was coming.
The next morning, Sweetie Belle wearing her white jumper with blue collars and cuffs. A red scarf around her neck, a blue mini skirt and black shoes. The first bell for class to begin finally rang, Sweetie Belle, Scooatloo and Apple Bloom and exit out of the girls' bathroom.
The girls walked through the empty halls, Locker number 200, locker number 201, locker number 202. Spike's locker was 205, the three Crusaders stood in front of locker number 205. Scootaloo presses her ear against the cold metal, listening to the code of Spike's lock.
"Should be concerned how Scoots knows how to break into lockers." Apple Bloom whispers into Sweetie Belle's ear.
"Rainbow Dash taught me everything I know," Scootaloo explains to her best friends.
Scootaloo opens the locker, pulling out the love letter giving it towards Sweetie Belle. The purple hair teenager shut the locker and leans against the lockers. Sweetie Belle felt like she could breathe once again. Holding the love letter close to her chest.
"Mind telling me the whole letter?" Scootaloo asked
"Oh, I can just send it to you." Sweetie Belle pulled out her phone to send Scootaloo the text of the love letter.
It was silent for a minute. Scootaloo raised her eyebrow at her friend, Sweetie Belle paused, she looked down at her phone. She just slams her head against the lockers. Before the girls could ask where Sweetie had sent that text.
"Spike. I sent it to Spike." Sweetie Belle said, under her breath.
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at the thirteen-year-old boy; Spike walking down the halls. He gave the girls a wave and a smile.
"The teacher let me out, to try and find you girls," Spike said, right before his phone buzz.
He looked down at it. Sweetie Belle bit her bottom lip, it seemed like time crawl to a stop or close to one. Every second, Sweetie Belle can see her life break apart. Before she knew it, Spike placed the phone back into his pocket and smiled towards the Crusaders.
"I need to get you girls to your class," Spike said, the Crusaders all groan in annoyance.
"I like you too. Date at Sugar Cube Corner this weekend?" Spike asked, whispering into Sweetie Belle's ear.
All Sweetie Belle did was give him a silent nod. Leaning against him, as the two walked side by side. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at each other and smiled.
The wooden floor of The Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse felt the soft feeling of another tear falling hard onto the wooden floor. Sweetie Belle sniff and rubbed her eyes, puffy and bright red. It was all unfair. How can Applejack and Apple Bloom be such great siblings while she and Rarity did nothing but argue with each other.
She was alone. Running out of The Carousel Boutique in tears, having just disowned her sister. Sisters no more, it still hurt, but it was the right thing to do. Well, that what Sweetie Belle believed.
She and Rarity had nothing in common. Two different coins, one was an Apple while the other was an orange.
She just heard the slight creaking of the floor.
She rubbed her eyes seeing Spike there. She turned her head away and let out a huff.
“If Rarity sent you. Then tell her I'm not coming back!” Sweetie Belle cried out
“I actually came for you. You were in tears, I was worried.” Spike said
Sweetie Belle looked over at him. The young male dragon did look rather concerned. Plus, the young male dragon didn't sound like he just visit Rarity. Spike is normally much more outgoing after a trip to Rarity. Then before he pays more attention to others.
Sweetie Belle had to wonder why he followed her, rather then the young male dragon chasing after the young unicorn crusaders older sister.
“It was all Rarity's fault! I tried to be a good sister and all she did was annoyed me!” Sweetie Belle shouted
“Don't even try to say you know how I feel.” The young unicorn crusader cried out in anger before Spike had the chance to open his mouth.
“But, I do. Twilight's my oldest sister. For years all I got is just books. But now, and for most of my life. I have been her assistant and nothing else.” Spike said
“I’m sorry to hear that Spike. I guess we're on the same boat.” Sweetie Belle stated
“Not quite.” Spike said “Twi’ does care about me, we take care of each other. But you need to find out what happens with you and Rarity.”
Sweetie Belle sat in silence for awhile. She didn't know how long, all she knew was that she was trying to find out something that she and Rarity had. Anything that could've help, anything that should help, anything that would help.
Yet nothing came to mind.
The young Unicorn Crusader rubbed her eyes once more. Feeling a pair of arms wrapping around her soft coat, her warm white fur gently brushing against his ruff scales.
She was blushing. Her cheeks were velvet red, a soft glow on her soft snow white fur.
Spike was hugging her.
It felt nice. All her troubles sort of melt away, feeling his claw combing her back. She nuzzle against his neck, her two front hooves wrapped around his torso, bring the young male dragon closer into the hug the two of them shared.
Time had seemed to paused, a soft turn of her lips. A soft and faint smile appeared, the young unicorn crusader closed her eyes. Spike's scales felt like sitting next a warm fire on a cold day with heavy snow pouring down late at night. Maybe with a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Sweetie Belle fur against his scales felt beyond amazing. Her fur felt much cozier than wrapping oneself in a warm blanket on a late night winter's eve.
Feeling her nuzzling against his neck made him smile, remembering some nights where Twilight would use him as her snuggle buddy. But, Sweetie Belle felt just much better, heck it beat out some of Rarity's hugs.
The warmth of the golden sun blaze through the open door. Shining upon the pair of them, finally the hug broke apart. The young male dragon and young unicorn crusader were both blushing their faces faced away from each other while they remember the warm hug.
Sweetie Belle’s glaze turn towards Spike. She was sure that she forgot how to talk. Her mind was something of a blur, but that hug was something that she needed, she knew she was still smiling. The young unicorn crusader just hoped Spike felt the same way.
Why did he hug Sweetie Belle?
Spike tried to think about all the answers to the question. It was almost like asking why was the sky blue or why the sun rises in the morning every day. It was just a question that every pony already knew, but still bothered him
Why did he hug Sweetie Belle?
Spike just didn't know! Did he want to know? She was upset, she was crying. She is his friend. But still, he didn't regret it. Instead he enjoyed enough to want to hug her again. Her fur melt away all the stress he been through this morning. It felt nice, no. She felt nice, well better than nice. Almost perfect, the young male dragon just hope Sweetie Belle felt the same way.
Sweetie Belle had seemed to almost forgot about Rarity. Keyword; almost. Her older sister was still there and still pain her. But not as much. The flow of tears had seemed to stopped.
“Thank you Spike. I really needed that.” Sweetie Belle softly spoke up.
The young male dragon turn his head towards Sweetie Belle. His eyebrow was raised, rather confused on what had happened.
“No problem… Sometimes all you need is just a simple hug from time to time.” Spike said
Then the wet feeling on his cheek. His right cheek, where Sweetie Belle's lips had pressed against. Her face was lit up, bright red, Spike's cheeks were blushing red as well.
“Thank you again.” She said, almost bowing her head to him
“Do you want to have another hug before you go?” Spike asked
The young unicorn crusader turned her head to face the young male dragon. She gave a light smile, nodding her head slightly.
After all sometimes all you need is just a simple hug.
The final hours of the Grand Galloping Gala were closing by, the golden bells rang, the dance floor was empty and bare, ponies and creatures all across Equestria were tired from the long night of dancing and fun. Yet, there was still the band ready to play for any couple wishing to spend this night together with the special someone.
For tonight, was the night. That a growing dragon would share a dance with the mare that he loves. His body was still growing he was now the same height as a teenage pony, his scales were smooth and a soft glow of a light purple that shines in the pale moonlight came from the windows. His spikes on his head were growing longer and sharper, he kept pulling on his red bow tie. Wearing a white collar t-shirt and over that t-shirt was a blazing blue tux with gold cuffs.
Yet, for young Spike The Dragon. He sat alone, waiting for the special moment for her to come. She looked amazing in the dress, it was like something out of a dream coming true. But, he always chocking on his words, couldn't say how he felt towards her. She is beauty within itself, yet, when colts ask for her hoof in a dance. She would always regret them.
With her mane tied up in a bun, the swirls of purple and pink with gold earrings and beans in her mane. A long dark purple dress that reaches down and gently brushes the dance floor of The Grand Gala, soft stars around the tail end of her dress. That bright smile, those luring emerald green eyes that Spike would get lost in.
The mare that he loves since he first came to Ponyville, Sweetie Belle.
She was so close. Yet, so far. Spike couldn't work up the courage to ask her out, any time he tried to ask her. He would just turn into a repeating idiot, repeating everything that he said, finding something else to look at rather then her eyes, since he knew if the male dragon gaze into those soft emerald colour eyes, he would never stop.
Sweetie Belle looked over towards the male dragon, he sat alone having regretting any mare or dragon that tried to ask him for a dance. Just like him, Sweetie Belle loved him, she would blush and look towards the ground. Stuttering and mixing up her words, trying to get him to notice her. Try to start something with the one that she loves.
Spike let out a deep breath, the dance floor was empty, almost everyone has gone home beside the stray few. A stray piece of tumbleweed could roll in the wind here to show how empty this place was. The one night to show Sweetie Belle that he loves her, share a dance and see what happens in the future.
Her table wasn't far, she was with the rest of The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Spike stood in front of them, he gave a grin, his gaze looked at Sweetie Belle. She somehow looking even more gorgeous in the moonlight, she gave a slight smile. He gave a small bow, holding out his claw for her.
"May I have this final dance?" He asked, his head lifted up.
His forest green eyes met her emerald green eyes. For a moment there, the world seemed to stop spinning for them. Her gentle and caring smile grace her lips.
"I would love to have this dance." Sweetie Belle answered, her hoof brushing against his claw.
For a moment, he felt her soft snow-white fur brushing against his hard scales and sharp claws. The two of them enter the center of the dance floor, the pair of lovers bowing to each other, a light blush appearing on their cheeks, the moment each of them waited for in this long night of passion.
Spike grabs her front right hoof pulling her closer to his warm body. Her head brushes against his neck, his free claw around her neck and the flow and moves with the music. Sweetie Belle felt like she was floating in the air, spinning around in the spotlight that shines upon them.
The moment she has been waiting for was finally here. She was dancing with the one that she has been in love with when she first met him. Memories of moments that the two of them shared, the first moment where the two of them met. He saw her beauty, the way she smiled towards him. The moment where the two had a date at Sugar Cube Corner, the pair would say it wasn't a date.
She felt wonderful in his claws, she looked up to him, Spike was just a little bit taller than she was. Their eyes meeting in gaze, she gave him a smile. He held her closer to his body, her lips looked soft and red, he wanted to press and shared a kiss with her. He had a yearning to share a kiss with her.
"Spike." Sweetie Belle softly said
"Sweetie Belle," Spike replied to her.
Their dance had ended, the band has packed away, the two stood in the middle of the dance floor. It seems like every pony eyes were on them, with how little there were left in the Grand Galloping Gala dance hall.
"I love you. I want to be with you." Spike said
The pair was rather close to each other, they still hadn't broken apart since the dance the two had shared with each other.
"I love you too... I was to shy to say anything before." Sweetie Belle softly spoke
She moved her head away, her lovely stare was now facing the cold hard dance floor. Spike bought her chin up, their emerald and forest green eyes staring lovingly into each other. He bought her into a kiss, they closed their eyes, she wrapped her hooves around him, pulling him deeper into the kiss that the two of them shared.
A pair of Alicorn watched, Princess Celestia, let out a soft cough, holding out her hoof towards her sister. Princess Luna let out an annoyed groan. Handing her older sister a couple of bits for the solar Princess winning the bet the two of them made.
The Belle Family and The Sparkle Family were at war with each other.
For years the two families lived together. Each and every new year, a brand new thing would crawl up the skin of the other. It didn't help that there were neighbours. When the newest member of the Belle Family, Miss Sweetie Belle was born on the same day as the newest member of the Sparkle Family, Mr Spike Sparkle.
Since the age of five, Sweetie Belle and Spike downright hated each other. Spike would pull on Sweetie Belle's pigtails dipping them in paint buckets. Then Sweetie would get revenge at Spike by hiding away his favourite football, or maybe ruining his painting by just splashing tons of blue paint on it.
Then they turn ten. They fighting and name calling just got worst and worst. Sweetie would trip Spike over or ruin his piano practice while she was practising the violin. Spike would state that the violin was only for real ladies and not some fake one in a worn down dress. Which would end with Sweetie Belle tackling Spike to the ground and begin punching him in the face.
Years, Spike Sparkle and Sweetie Belle would fight and argue with each other. Sweetie Belle would stick her tongue out at him, while Spike would sometimes tear her dress. But, a day came by. A day where all the hate that Spike Sparkle had for Sweetie Belle all change to love.
It all started at the age of fourteen. Spike Sparkle found out he has a crush on the youngest of The Belle Family, and it terrified him! Sweetie Belle was beautiful, she was sometimes funny, she was graceful at moments and she could play the violin and sing like a real Angel.
Little did Spike know is that Sweetie Belle felt the same for the youngest of The Sparkle Family. She found that Spike Sparkle has bee coming to become a rather handsome man, he was rather strong. There was a time where he stood up for her. Sweetie Belle worst enemy stopped a couple of girls on picking on her and a few boys trying to date her.
Sweetie Belle couldn't fight it anymore.
Spike Sparkle couldn't fight it anymore.
'I can't believe a have a crush on the rival family!' They both thought
Fifteen years old. High school, Sweetie Belle watched Spike punching a teenage boy who was trying to grab her forcing the youngest of The Sparkle Family to get violent. That boy left, Spike turned to face Sweetie, she just noticed how tall Spike was getting. Back when the pair was five, they were the same height. Now, Sweetie Belle has to stand on her toes to meet Spike Sparkle's eyes.
Normally, what would happen will Sweetie would make a comment about something she has in her book on 'How to make fun of Spike Sparkle.' Yet, what happened next was still a blur. Either knew who started it, yet, either really cared. Spike believed that Sweetie started it by pulling on his tie. While Sweetie believes that Spike started it by pulling on her waist. The pair kissed, lips meeting in a soft closing kiss. Spike wrapping his arm around Sweetie's waist bringing her even closer. Almost like he wants this since the pair first meet.
It was lunch. Sweetie Belle slams her hands down onto Spike's desk. He normally sits alone or with his two mates, Rumble and Tender Taps. While Sweetie would sit with her best friends, Scootaloo Dash and Bloom Apple or how everyone calls her Apple Bloom.
"Ground rules. Since it clear that you like me and I like you." Sweetie said
"Duh. The first rule; Don't get caught."
The weird newly couple began talking on how to keep their relationship out of the family rivalry. The second rule was that only Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Rumble and Tender Taps was allowed to know. The third rule was that no visiting the other in the house unless no one less was home. The fourth rule was that if their siblings or parents ask any questions, lie about hanging out with friends.
Spike couldn't hold himself back most of the time, trying to pull Sweetie into kiss every time she said anything evil. Sweetie Belle would hold up her finger, pushing his head back. Somehow those two work anything out, when Spike's older sister, Twilight Sparkle asked where he was going most of the time.
"Just out with Rumble and Tender Taps," Spike said with a shrug.
Twilight's eyebrow raised at the statement. "You almost always say that. Are you sure you don't have a girlfriend?" She asked with a grin.
"Please. I rather not have a high school fling."
'I'm so sorry I call you a 'high school fling' don't kill me Sweetie.' Spike thought, while his expression stayed claim
"Plus mom and dad say no dating. Shining and Candance wasn't allowed to date until college." Spike added
"Sure, sure," Twilight said, her grin stayed.
"If you say anything to mom or dad. I'll tell them that your math lessons at Rainbow's house has nothing to do with maths." Spike said, that caused Twilight to become enraged
She turned his chair. Glaring down at her younger brother. The two eyes locked, Twilight snaps her head away, just muttering out a soft 'fine' before leaving her sibling alone.
Sixteen-years-old. The big number and also the same number that Spike's mother, Velvet Sparkle allowing Spike to finally start dating. Spike just nodded his head, not really paying attention to the number of girls on his mother's list that was 'worthy' on dating her little 'Spikey Wikey.'
That nickname haunted him, it was worst when Sweetie Belle found it out during the age of seven. Then it just now turns into a strange pet nickname. Spike Sparkle didn't know how to feel about that now.
"I say the Tiara Family daughter will be perfect for you. Are you listening Spikey?" Velvet said Spike let out a 'huh' for his reply.
"Miss Diamond Tiara will be the perfect girlfriend for you. I know that she has always like you." Velvet said
Spike was good at keeping his expressions straight. But, him and Diamond Tiara together. He already knows that Diamond wants to bang her best friend; Silver Spoon. There was no way he get in the middle of that. It was true that back in middle school, Diamond did have a crush on him. But, that's just history long forgotten.
"Nah. She into someone else at the moment." His reply was.
His phone ding, he kind of forgot that he woke his secret girlfriend up in the morning just for a happy birthday message. Only get to threaten to never wake a lady getting her beauty sleep. Now, if those two were still enemies, Spike would tease her about it. Now that she's his girlfriend. Sweetie Belle has become a little bit more terrifying, he kind of wonders if that was her plan all along.
Just her telling him to get to his room for a special birthday present. Spike blinked and put his phone away, listening to his mother and father; Nightlight Sparkle talking about some possible girlfriends for him to have, he hears Ember's name, Smolder's name, or some reason Cozy Glow's name was there.
Now that chick was crazy.
Wait. Spike paused, He thought back to the message and let out a long loud fake yawn.
"Sorry, guys. I had such a long day. I think I'm going to head up to my room. See you all in the morning." Spike said, he stretches his arms out.
"Well, night son." Nightlight Sparkle said
Spike Sparkle couldn't hold his grin as he races up the stairs, quickly pulling his window open and helping his girlfriend inside.
"I thought you would be quicker," Sweetie said, brushing off the leaves on her nice and long light cyan blue dress.
"The folks want me to get a girlfriend when I already have the best one," Spike said, Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes.
She gave him a quick peck on the lips before tackling him to the bed. For some late night, birthday fun.
Normally, their dates would either be a movie or a trip over at Sugar Cube Corner. The Cake Family always found the two of them cute together. But, tonight, Spike took Sweetie Belle out to a real restaurant, just a little outside of Canterlot City. It was a real nice dinner.
"So, what were your parents talking to about on your birthday?" Sweetie asked
His and Sweetie's birthday was just a few weeks ago. After that night, Spike kind of forgot about what Velvet Sparkle and Nightlight Sparkle were talking him about.
"Girlfriend. They want me to get a girlfriend." Spike said
Sweetie gave him a grin, "Oh, tell me the list. Should I get jealous?"
"Diamond Tiara who into Silver Spoon. Ember who into Thorax, Smolder..." Spike listed
"I can see that last one," Sweetie stated
"I rather have you. And last Cozy Glow." Spike finished
"That crazy girl! Is she obsessed with you?" She asked Spike nodded his head
"Yeah, she found out my cell phone number. She can spot me in a crowd. That girl is terrifying."
Sweetie Belle's laugh was nice to listen to, Spike never noticed it until now. Everything was going fine until Spike almost chokes on his drink. Seeing his own parents walking through the front door.
"Get underneath the table," Spike said Sweetie raised her eyebrow.
"Are you crazy?" Sweetie almost cried out.
"My parents are here. Unless you want a fight, get under the table." Spike said
Sweetie rolled her eyes, she could only see the feet of Spike's parents. Listening to conversion, she was only half listening. Until Spike's mother; Velvet Sparkle said.
"Who's the special girl?"
"Please, she just some high school fling. No one important." Nightlight's voice said
That seemed to upset Spike, with his seat pulling back. Hearing his hands slamming against the table, Sweetie Belle got out her phone and texted Spike; "If this doesn't work. I'm breaking up with you."
"She's more than a high school fling. Don't you dare say that about her! I love Sw... My girlfriend and I want to spend the rest of my life with her..." Spike paused, hearing the ding and reading Sweetie message.
"But, she super shy. Maybe you can all meet her some other time. But, not now. First real date and she rather not meet parents on the first date."
Smooth Spike, real smooth. Sweetie thought.
But, she did smile hearing what he thought of her. She saw everyone walking away. Sweetie crawl under the table, grabbing Spike's arm and the pair leaving the restaurant. Spike grabs his keys, yeah he got a car for his stupid birthday. Which Sweetie Belle was totally jealous of, Spike held the door open for his girlfriend.
The car ride was rather silent. Either of them spoke anything, even the radio wasn't on. Or any of Sweetie Belle's CD that she kept in Spike's car.
"Did you really mean that, back at the restaurant?" She asked
"Yes, I did. I love you and I want to be with you. I hate not seeing you every day, I hate that I can't tell people that I have the best girlfriend in the world. At points, my parents think I was gay, one day it was just "How was your day? Do you like to kiss guys?"' Spike said
And Sweetie Belle couldn't stop laughing. Spike shook his head and join in on the laughing, Spike stopped the car in front of her house. Sweetie gave him a peck on the lips, Spike gave a grin.
Age Eighteen. The year was now, Spike Sparkle might have sneaked into The Belle Family house. To give Sweetie Belle two gifts, one was a heart-shaped necklace and the other was a diamond engagement ring. Sweetie pulled him to the side, her parents were out at the moment.
Spike Sparkle short green hair still spikey like when he was five. A purple hoodie, black jeans, with a white top. While Sweetie Belle wore a cyan blue dress, Spike smiled and gave her the necklace. Sweetie Belle gave him a kiss, he held onto her waist. Then the two of them heard the sound of something dropping.
Rarity Belle. Right, Sweetie Belle forgot that she was over.
"Umm... It's not what it looks like." Sweetie said, unsure on what to say.
"Are you and Spike Sparkle dating?" Rarity asked
"Yes. We love each other." Sweetie said
Later that night, both Spike's parents and Sweetie's parents found out. There were yelling, shouting, name calling. It almost like the two families have to been fighting for years. Then, Velvet said something horrible about Sweetie Belle. Causing Spike to stand up.
"I love Sweetie Belle, I don't care if you like her or if they like me! I want to be with her, I wanted to save this until later. But, Sweetie Belle..." Spike said, getting on one knee. "Will you marry me?"
"Yes." Tears running down her face.
"I refuse to let my daughter marry that no good son of yours." Sweetie Belle's father; Hondo Belle shouted
"Well, I refuse my son to marry some water down..."
"We don't care! Argue and fight, but I'm marrying Spike and we're leaving." Sweetie said, grabbing onto her boyfriend's arm dragging him out of the house.
Age Twenty-two. Cookie Belle and Hondo Belle soon ran into Velvet Sparkle and Nightlight Sparkle in the supermarket. The four of them started fighting like always. Soon another shopping cart crash into them.
"Be careful Spike, you might wake her up." Sweetie's voice said,
The four adults looked at the newlywed couple, Spike Sparkle and Sweetie Sparkle and a little baby girl sleeping.
"Oh, hey mom, dad," Spike said, still sour about what happened a few years ago.
"Meet our daughter. Her name is Sweet Heart Sparkle." Spike said
"Did you two know about that?" Velvet asked Sweetie's parents shook their heads answering 'no'
"Spike, Sweetie. Maybe this weekend, you two can come over for dinner. We can't change the past, but we can make a better future." Cookie Belle said
Another calm and peaceful day, a young unicorn filly. Having a fluffy white coat that puff up around her neck with light cyan blue highlights mixing with her dark purple mane. Young, Sweet Heart, just the young age of ten. Sitting underneath the shade of a large oak tree, wanting to finally read all those Daring Do books her Aunt Scootaloo talks about.
"I hear that there's a monster lurking in the woods." A colt said
Sweet Heart looked up from her book, towards the colt for a brief second before returning back to her reading. Nothing, important.
"Well, duh. There are all types of monsters in The Everfree Forest." One filly stated
That girl gets it. Sweet Heart never bothers to learn any names before, with all those changing cities and faces until she found her home with her single mother; Sweetie Belle.
"Different from Timberwolves, or Ursa Minor. Rumours state that this beast is bigger than an Ursa Major and is stronger than a pack of Timberwolves." The same colt from before spoke up.
Rumours. That all they were. Sweet Heart kept looking up from her book from time to time, thinking about this 'monster' in The Everfree Forest. Her mind did think about the tale of Zecora, but she moved closer to Ponyville while taking up the job for Nurse in The School of Friendship.
"No way!" A different colt stated gasping
Sweet Heart began to think if she should start remembering names. She can't get through life by just calling every pony she meets by a number.
"Yes, way. It said that any pony that dares enter The Everfree Forest and the monster's territory. Let's just say, no pony has ever come back alive." The colt said Sweet Heart rolled her eyes.
"If no pony came back alive, then I have to wonder how did the rumours start." Sweet Heart finally spoke up.
She finally got a good look at the group of colts and fillies. All three numbers were here, the colt talking about the stupid rumour was Number Three, the filly who believe in the stupid rumour was Number One and the other colt was finally Number Two.
"Look Number Three. That rumour is just another tall tale, like the one about Zecora. It's nothing to worry about." Sweet Heart said
"Wait. Do you not know my name? But, is it true. Cause this monster lives in the darkest part of The Everfree Forest. My brother tells me even the Timberwolves don't go in there." Number Three said
"Yeah, I heard about that too. That's where the Orthrus, Nemean Lion, Ladon, and Caucasian Eagle live." Number One spoke
The three numbers began chatting about this and that. Sweet Heart stopped listening since she doesn't care. She heard the clock tower ding, it was almost three O'clock already. The young unicorn filly tucked her book into her saddle and left those numbers bricking with each other.
She might have stopped by Lyra and Bon-Bon's Candy Shop on the way home. Chewing on a stick of gum, she slowly pushed the door open. The wooden floor creaked underneath her, then she heard her mother's voice calling out her name.
Sweet Heart gave a grin towards her single mother; Sweetie Belle raised her eyebrow towards her daughter. Sweetie Belle stood rather tall, her mane was long and rather beautiful with the pink and purple mixing together, her mane covering her right eye that covers the scratch from a violent dragon.
Well, that what Sweet Heart has heard. Those tall stories were a little weird, some said that a dragon visiting Ponyville decided to attack Sweetie Belle when she was a growing mare, around her teens. Some say that it was just a weird accident with a turn of events.
"Afternoon Mom." Sweet Heart said, grinning towards Sweetie Belle
"You're late, it was meant to be four, not five." Sweetie Belle spoke, Sweet Heart giggled
"Some colts and fillies were talking about tall tales about a monster that lurks in the darkest part of The Everfree Forest." Sweet Heart explain
"Also, got caught up with my book. Maybe I can just cheat and lie through the test."
The glare from Sweetie Belle caused Sweet Heart to grin, "Or not. Cheating is wrong."
That glare. Sweetie Belle's glare sent a chill down Sweet Heart's spine. Always making her change her ways and look away.
"Well, I'll cook us some dinner..."
"NO!" Sweet Heart cried out, "I mean, you work so hard for me. And it the least I can do is make dinner for both of us. Maybe even Breakfast and Lunch. Or how about I just do all the cooking and you don't step in the kitchen at all."
When Sweet Heart finally got her own family with Sweetie Belle. The young unicorn filly thought that she wouldn't need to cook anymore, learning how to cook and survive on her own. Until the first night with her new mom. Sweetie Belle can't cook, the first thing Sweet Heart saw for dinner that night was black crust and liquid that turned out to be chips.
Since then, lies and more lies to keep Sweetie Belle out of the kitchen. And that's why Sweet Heart tries to set her mother up with stallions that can cook. It weird since her mother was still hung up on her crush back when she was a teenager.
The School of Friendship, cause ponies believes that Sweet Heat has a friend problem. Just because she never bothers to learn any names cause of all the moving cities and changing families. It never gave her time for friends, making everyone not important become a number.
The young unicorn filly sat in the library, reading on Myths and Legends of The Everfree Forest. A soft yawn escaped her lips, it was peaceful. Quiet, and no pony around to annoy her.
A pair of large pink wings poke out of the table near Sweet Heart. The unicorn turned, thinking that she saw something with the corner of her eye. With nothing there, Sweet Heart shrugged her shoulders and returned to her book.
A puffy dark purple with cyan blue tail pokes out of another table closer to Sweet Heart.
A large dark shadow creeps over Sweet Heart, while the unicorn readied.
"Surprise Best Friend Hug!"
Flurry Heart.
Why did it have to be Flurry Heart?
The Princess of Emotions was nuzzling Sweet Heart's cheek. Alicorn’s just have to age slower than normal ponies, until the age of ten. Making Flurry Heart around twelve and somehow the youngest Princess thought that Sweet Heart was her best friend.
Wait. There are normally two. Flurry Heart was Trouble, but there was another pony that caused Sweet Heart pain.
A large pink cake, a floating pink earth pony filly. She was twirling a glass of blue milk on the tip of her hoof.
There's Pain. Known by Screwball.
Those two never leave Sweet Heart alone. It was the only reason why the young unicorn knew Pain and Trouble names. Flurry Heart would think of something crazy, Screwball would make it dangerous, the two of them would drag her. Literally, drag her causing Sweet Heart more Pain and Trouble.
"Hey Screwball, I'm just giving my bestie a best friend nuzzle." Flurry Heart said, her cheek nuzzling Sweet Heart while Flurry Heart was grinning.
"I'm not your friend and there's no such thing as a best friend nuzzle and if there was. I wouldn't want one!" Sweet Heart cried out
This was her life. Then something would happen that would cause her pain and trouble. Wait, where's did her book go? Her short question was quickly answered by seeing Screwball holding the Myths and Legends of The Everfree Forest book upside down.
"Oh, you're looking into that rumour floating around. The one about that monster lurking in the Everfree Forest." Screwball said
"When I told my mom about that rumour. She brushed damage eye, I think the monster who did that to her is in those woods." Sweet Heart said
Flurry Heart leaps onto the table, Sweet Heart leans back in surprise. Flurry Heart has a bit of a Hero problem, ever since she heard about the warrior that saved the Crystal Empire. Since then, almost any conversation went back to that mysterious hero that saved the Empire.
"Come my friends! We'll shall go deep into the woods, defeat this monster and I shall be known as a hero just like my hero. The Brave Warrior who saved the Crystal Empire. He's the best, the legends state that he took down King Sombra with his might." Flurry Heart said.
"Just rumours." Sweet Heart spoke.
"Let's go!" Flurry Heart quickly said, pointing her hoof towards Canterlot.
"We have class soon."
Sweet Heart has always used that to get out of Flurry and Screwball's plans. With the Head mare that runs the School of Friendship is Flurry Heart's aunt.
"Then let's go at night. We'll all meet at Sweet Heart's place." Screwball said
Everfree Forest was dangerous at night. The deepest and darkest of The Everfree Forest at night was just suicide. Well done, Screwball. You just went from Pain to Downright Crazy. But, Flurry Heart agree with the Princess of Chaos and that means no matter what Sweet Heart said or did. It was the hunt for a monster tonight.
With pebbles hitting her window, then an Alicorn flying up to the said window, using magic to open it, and then using the said magic on Sweet Heart's tail to pull her out. Sweet Heart hit the ground, seeing Screwball and Flurry Heart smiling towards the young unicorn.
"Come on bestie! To the Forest!" Flurry Heart cried out, pointing towards the School of Friendship.
"The Forest is that way." Sweet Heart said
Flurry Heart quickly turned around, the Alicorn and Earth Pony grab a hold of Sweet Heart's legs, dragging the young unicorn towards the Everfree Forest late in the middle of the night. The branches scratched against Sweet Heart's fur, she was sure something was bleeding at the moment. The way how Flurry Heart held onto the young unicorn hoof caused Sweet Heart to kept moving.
"We're lost! We have been in this blasted forest for about an hour now. I'm tired, sore, and I'm sure I just saw a creature licking his lips when we passed." Sweet Heart said, Flurry Heart finally let go of her hoof.
Screwball turned around, summoning a bowl of popcorn. Watching the unicorn and Alicorn, Flurry Heart rubbed her eyes, small tears dropped to the ground.
"I know you don't like me. I just wanted you to." Flurry said
"Why, you're The Princess of Emotions, the future heir to The Crystal Empire. You can be friends with any pony." Sweet Heart said
"That the point! They won't be my friends. They'll just hang out because I'm a Princess or that I'm Twilight niece. They think just because they are my friends. They won't need to try, you were the first pony to treat me like a normal pony. You didn't even see my wings. You just see me. That why I want to be your friend, so I won't be alone anymore." Flurry Heart said, tears running down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry. I'm just used to being by myself. It has been two months since I met my mom and well... I'm just sorry..." Sweet Heart said
The two of them stayed silent, the loud crunch of popcorn could be heard from Screwball, the two fillies turned to look over at their chaotic friend. An owl hoot, the trees began to rattle.
"We should hurry and find him." The Princess of Emotions spoke in a hushed tone.
"Flurry wait!" Sweet Heart cried out, Flurry Heart turned to face the unicorn.
"How about a best friend hug? I have been a horrible one, but I can start changing for you."
Flurry Heart quickly flew over tackling her friend in a hug, a large smile on her lips. As they fur brushed against each other, Sweet Heart gently pushed the Alicorn away. Flurry's hoof wrapped around Sweet Heart's hoof, the pair walking through the Everfree.
Until a roar from a beast hiding in the shadows caused the three fillies to run inside a cave. Sweet Heart and Flurry Heart lit up their horns, while Screwball shook her hoof making it light up. Writing on the walls, faded, but still somewhat readable. Names like Ponyville, Twi- Spark- Or Sweet- Be- gems were covering the ground.
A large dragon stood in front of them. Large purple with green spikes, her teeth were sharp and his claws looked sharp enough to cut through diamonds. And he was cooking dinner. When he turned around, he saw the three fillies. Sweet Heart was the first one to step forward.
"Why are you kids here. This late at night. It's dangerous." The dragon spoke
Before any pony could speak up. A loud rumble came from each of their stomachs. The dragon place down three bowls of soup from them. It smelt great, Sweet Heart's mouth was almost drooling. She has never smelt anything this good in her life. Where has this dragon been?
"We shall not eat..." Flurry paused seeing her best friend digging into the soup like there was no tomorrow. "Sweet Heart it might be poison!" The young Alicorn cried out.
"Poison or not. This stuff tastes great, my mom turned a liquid into a solid. I had eaten water once." Sweet Heart said before she digs her muzzle back into the bowl.
"Look, umm..."
"Call me Spike."
"Right. Spike, didn't know monsters had names. But, I Princess Flurry Heart shall defeat you and wait... Did you say your name was Spike, like the hero and warrior Spike? The same one who took down King Sombra?" Flurry Heart asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Uh, yes?" Spike wasn't sure how to answer.
"I'm your biggest fan. I want to be just like you. I want to fight and defeat evil. Become; Flurry Heart Vs. The Forces of Evil. Alongside her best friend, Sweet Heart!" The young Princess pulled Sweet Heart into a tight hug. Smiling
"Why are you here? If you were a hero of an Empire. Why hide in this cave?" Sweet Heart asked.
"It happened a long time ago..."
You See, back when I was just a teenage dragon. I loved this unicorn mare. Her singing voice was perfect, she was amazing. It was hard to explain, but I loved her and she loved me back. Until I showed her my dragon way. My bottled up rage, it happened so fast, this stallion was trying to hit on her. I got mad, I was blinded by my rage. She was mine, and I loved her, I didn't want anyone or anything get in the way of that. When she told me he wasn't worth it, I didn't listen. She gave my arm a tucked. That got my attention the wrong way, I turned to face her and scratched her eye. Her right eye, she spent three weeks in the hospital because of me. I couldn't face her, I knew she hated me and could never love me. So, I ran.
"Your wrong. Sweetie Belle still loves you." Sweet Heart cried out, Spike looked over at the young unicorn.
"I'm her daughter. Sweet Heart, my mom still loves you. Every time I talk to her about dating some pony new. One who knows how to cook. She just tells me that her heart forever belongs to her first love."
"Please come back to Ponyville so you can start cooking for me!" Sweet Heart said
"No way! If he coming back, he going to teach me awesome fighting moves!" Flurry Heart said
"I guess I could make him have cotton candy hair. The blue type, the one that no one likes. And have a one-eyed monster or maybe in his case a two-eyed monster bit him." Screwball said
Spike slammed his hands onto the tables. "I'm not going back. I hurt Sweetie Belle. I hurt the one I loved the most. How can I just go back and face her? Knowing that on her face is a scar that I caused?" Spike asked
"She still loves you. And you still love her. We all need to face our fears, but she needs you and you need her. Plus, I think we're lost and I don't know the way back." Sweet Heart said
Spike let out a laugh. "You're right kid. I take you fillies home."
Spike knocked onto Sweetie Belle's door. "Maybe this was a bad idea. I'll go back to my cave now!"
Flurry and Sweet Heart grabbed onto his tail. Forcing him to stay, a tired Sweetie Belle opened the door with a soft yawn escaping her lips. She rubbed her tired eyes, seeing Sweet Heart, Screwball, Flurry Heart out at two in the morning alongside a male dragon.
"Spike?" She asked
"Yeah. I was scared after what I did to you. I sort of ran. Also, your daughter and her friends decided it was best to enter the deepest and darkest part of The Everfree Forest late at night." Spike said
"I'll talk about your punishment in the morning. Your friends can sleep over for the night." Sweet Heart nodded, she and her two friends rushed upstairs.
Spike gave Sweetie Belle a grin. "So, how do we start again? Do we start again?"
"I'll like too. I missed you, I waited for months for you to return." Sweetie Belle said
The two of them stood in silence.
"I still love you. Plus, your daughter is great as well." Spike said
"She needed a home. I needed a family. I love her, and yes I still love you. It just going to be a little awkward to start all over again." Sweetie Belle said
She held the door open for him. "But, you're welcome to live here until then."
Spike ducked his head, walking inside Sweetie Belle's house. Starting something old again with a new burning flame.
Three Months Later...
Sweet Heart has a brand new father; Spike and Sweetie Belle got over the bumps and there were a lot of bumps. With the dragon just returning out of the blue again from out of nowhere. But, the two of them got married just last month, at the wedding. She was the flower filly, and oddly enough Flurry Heart wanted to share a dance with her.
Sweet Heart walked through the halls of The School of Friendship, a large crowd of ponies surrounded something making a circle. A bright flash of light, Flurry Heart teleport close to Sweet Heart. Giving her best friend some best friend nuzzles.
"How's your family?" She asked
"Great, Spike is a great dad." Sweet Heart answered
"That's great... I... There's something that I have been meaning on telling you." Flurry Heart said she was blushing it was light.
Sweet Heart's eyes lit up. "You have a crush! Don't worry, as your best friend. I'll help you get him."
"Yeah... Get him." Flurry Heart said, looking into Sweet Heart's eyes and gave a smile. Following her friend to class.
