Chapter 3:

Spike opened his eyes and saw that he was on the middle of a straight, white pathway. He noticed at one end of this trail was the library, "What's going on here?" Spike questioned. He turned around and saw the Carousel Boutique on the opposite side of the path.

He gazed toward the boutique for a minute until, "Hey!" Spike heard from behind him.

Spike turned back around, "Ahh!" Spike yelped as he jumped back, a completely pink pony standing less than an inch behind him. "Pinkie…what are you doing here." Spike said while still in panic over having just been caught off-guard.

"I don't have a clue!" Pinkie proudly proclaimed.

"…Why are we here? …Wherever here is." Spike asked the pink pony.

"Hmm…" Pinkie Pie contemplated the question for a minute. "Oh, oh, oh! I know, I know!" she exclaimed while jumping up and down.

"Then what's going on, Pinkie?" he asked once more.

"You're in a dream!" Pinkie informed.

"I figured that out already…" Spike stated with slight annoyance.

"Then why did you ask, silly? You know people don't normally realize they're in a dream until they've woken up!" Pinkie merrily informed.

"I…never mind." Spike said in surrender, knowing that was probably the best answer Pinkie would give.

Spike took another minute to examine the nearly completely white environment. In this dreamscape he notice a few trees floating in mid air but not much else. After staring into the whiteness he began walking towards the Library.

"You know, your dreams look really boring Spi…Hey, Where ya' going?" Pinkie asked as she followed behind him, hopping as she went.

"I know I'm in a dream, but maybe Twilight will tell me what's going on." Spike hoped.

"Why not ask Rarity over that way at the Carousel Boutique?" Pinkie asked the purple dragon. At this Spike began walking faster. "Spike! Spike! Spike!" Pinkie kept repeating over and over, Spike still ignoring her. "Spike, I thought you liked rarity?"

"Not anymore." Spike angrily stated as his walking turned into marching.

"Wait! I know why you're having this dream now!" Pinky said with an actual light bulb appearing before falling on her head, "Ow! Dreams hurt!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"…Fine, what is this dream about?" an irritated Spike asked one last time as he stopped walking, folding his arms in the process.

"It's about you dealing with your feelings about Twilight and Rarity!" Pinky said with a large grin.

"Wait how did you figure that out? …This is a dream…that's right…" Spike answered his own question, rubbing his forehead.

"Yep, yep! And I guess that makes me some sort of dream apparition, guide, pony…thingy…pony!" Pinky rambled.

"Well, whatever…forget Rarity!" Spike began, "I don't care about her anymore."

"Spike…Rarity's still your friend, she didn't know you had feelings for her…" Pinky said with a little bit of sadness.

"…I can't help it, I can't count how many days I spent helping her! And this is how she repays me!" Spike argued.

After Spike said this, he heard a voice once more behind him, "Spike…"

Spike turned around and saw Twilight walking towards him from the treehouse, "Twilight?"

"Please don't get mad like this, Spike…" Twilight requested, "Love is unconditional…If you truly loved Rarity, you should be happy for her…You know that even though Rarity has a fiancé, she'll still be there for you as your friend."

"She should've seen how kind I was to her! When she needed someone to help her with something, no matter what, I'd find a way to be there…and look what happened…" Spike said, his anger shifting more towards depression.

"What if you find out the real Twilight likes somepony else? Would you feel the same way towards her as you do Rarity now?" The dream Twilight asked.

"I…I don't know…" Was all Spike could stutter as he contemplated.

Just like last night, Spike couldn't come up with anything…

all was quiet until…

"Will you two just SAY something! You both did the exact same thing last chapter!" Pinkie exclaimed as she shattered the fourthwall like thin glass.

"Chapter?" both questioned as things began to fade to white.

.

It was about ten in the morning when Spike woke up. Having just awoken, he groggily walked over to the huge window in the bedroom and saw that the Pegasus ponies had safely diverted the tornado with only minimal damage done to Ponyville.

After gazing through the window for a few more seconds, he walked back over to make his bed. While making his bed he noticed across the room that Twilight's bed was empty, "She probably feel asleep studying again…" Spike said as he finished his first task of the day.

Spike walked out of the room and slowly closed the door as to not disturb Twilight if she was indeed asleep in the Study like he thought. Spike quietly began to head down the stairs. As Spike walked into the main room he saw a few books randomly scattered on the floor, as was usual when Twilight goes on a reading binge.

Spike reached the study and carefully opened the door. Spike peeked inside the room and saw, as he suspected, in the same corner of the room as last night a sleeping Twilight face down in a book. He walked in and began picking up the randomly strewn about literature that Twilight had gotten down. As he picked up one of the books, he saw Twilight shiver slightly. He sat the books down and walked over to the blanket that had slid off of Twilight during the night and gently placed it back on her.

He picked up the last book and as he walked out of the study, the same thoughts from last night reemerged, "What's going on with me…why do I feel so different around Twilight now…" Spike thought in his head.

He walked into the main part of the library and began placing the books back in the their places, having to use a ladder to reach most of the spots. "Come on Spike, get it together…you can't have feelings for Twi…" Spike said to himself as he placed the last book on the top shelf of one of the oversized bookcases, "…Can I…" he pondered while standing still. "Maybe cooking breakfast will get my mind off of this." Spike hopefully stated as he headed to the kitchen.

.

Spike was finishing up making breakfast when he heard the door to the study open. "Good morning Spike." Twilight said, rubbing her eyes before she walked into the kitchen.

"H-Hey Twilight!" Spike said, unusually nervous.

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked her friend.

"Me? I-I'm okay." Spike said in an obviously nervous manner.

"Uh-huh" Twilight said with skepticism.

"Here, I've got breakfast ready." He said as he slid the last pancakes from the pan onto a plate.

Twilight watched Spike as he finished plating their breakfast, "Are you sure you're alright?"

"Do I look like someone who's not alright?" Spike said with a fake, nervous smile as he picked up both plates and began to walk towards her.

Twilight was quiet as Spike put the plates on the table and sat down on the opposite side to her. After they had both sat down and taken a few bites of breakfast, Twilight asked, "Hey after breakfast would you come with me to Zecora's?"

"Zecora! But she lives in the Everfree forest!" Spike exclaimed in fear, "W-We might run into one of those ponies from Sunny Town! Or worse, the town itself!"

Twilight put her hoof on her face, "Spike how many times do I have to tell you? Creepypasta's aren't real, Sunny Town doesn't exist."

"But what about how Applebloom claims she's seen it?" Spike asked with fear still present in his voice.

"Spike remember that time you became convinced that Slendermane was real?" she questioned.

"W-Why did you have to bring him up!" Spike asked in with a look of complete terror.

A thud was heard as Twilight's head hit the table.
