Friday arrived at long last and Spike was excited. Today was the day he was going out on his date with Rebecca. He washed his face especially this morning and took a browse through his wardrobe, looking for the best suit.
"Nope, not that one...not that one either...nah, too shiny... ah ha! This looks perfect!" He said pulling out a black and white suit that had his initials signed on them.
"She'll love this for sure." Spike said to himself, and placed it back up on the hanger for later.
He closed the wardrobe and went downstairs for breakfast. Twilight had already made hers. Spike pasted her and began making his breakfast.
"Important night tonight isn't it?" Twilight said.
"Indeed." Spike said, brining his breakfast to the table "I've got that date with Rebecca!"
"Hope all goes well with you and her." Twilight said.
"She hasn't decided were she wants to go for out date, neither have I by a matter for fact." Spike said.
"Well, I bet you'll find somewhere before you go." encouraged Twilight.
"Thanks." Spike said and continued eating his breakfast.
Later that day, Spike walked into Mrs Cakes bakery, where Mrs Cake was at desk.
"Hi Spike, what can I help you with?" Mrs Cake asked.
"I need a present for my dragonfriend, Rebecca." Spike started "What would you recommend?"
Mrs Cake pondered for a moment. Then she stamped her hoof suddenly, which make Spike jump.
"I got it!" she triumphantly said. "I have a batch of cakes in store that have only been baked last week. I'll have a look for yer'"
She left the counter and walked into the kitchen. When she came back, she had a batch of cupcakes on a tray. Some had beautiful iced flowers on them and some with love hearts on them.
"Any that she would be interested in?" Mrs Cake asked,
Spike looked at the cupcakes closely.
"The ones with the flowers look a good choice...but the heart ones look good as well." Spike critically said.
Spike just stood there staring at the cupcakes.
"You decided yet?" Mrs Cake asked.
"OK. I'll have one heart cupcake and one flower cupcake please." Spike ordered.
"Aright then, that will be two bits please." Mrs Cake said.
Spike handed over two bits and placed them on the desk. Mrs Cake placed them in the cashier and gave Spike two of each of the cupcakes.
"Thank you Mrs Cake." Spike said and left the bakery.
Mr Cake walked downstairs to Mrs Cake.
"Who did you just serve?" Mr Cake asked.
"Oh, just Spike. He just bought two cupcakes for his new dragonfriend." Mrs Cake answered.
"Dragonfriend? That's a new word." Mr Cake chuckled.
"That's what I said yesterday." Mrs Cake said.
"Well, I hope they have many happy adventures together." Mr Cake happily said.
"Me to." Mrs Cake said.
Suddenly the door opened again to reveal another pony.
"Well, back to work it is then!" Mr Cake smiled.
"I suppose." Mrs Cake said, rolling her eyes.
Mr Cake giggled and went back upstairs.
"Hello, what can I help you with today?" Mrs Cake greeted the customer.
Spike made some final adjustments to his suit. He looked in the mirror and wiped a small smudge off his face. Tonight, he wanted everything to go smoothly and easy. Twilight came up the stairs and stood by him.
"So cute. Watching my little friend finally growing up to be a big dragon." Twilight softly said "Wish it hadn't have to come so soon."
"Don't worry Twilight, I'll always be the same small dragon you've grown up with through out the years." Spike said.
"I know, my little Spikey-wikey!" Twilight happily said, giving him a big hug.
"We'll, I'll see you later." Spike said.
Twilight let go of Spike and he walked down the stairs to the door. He held the door handle and looked at Twilight.
"I don't know when I'll be back." Spike said "But hopefully it wont be to late."
"I'll be fine Spike." Twilight replied.
Spike opened the door and left the library. As soon as he entered the outdoors, the cold wind hit him like a ton of bricks. A good thing he had brought his coat with him. He closed the door behind and walked to Rebecca's house. He looked back at the library, its lights illuminating it in the dark scene. He knocked the door and waited for a reply. At last the door opened and revealed Elizabeth.
"Where's Rebecca?" asked Spike.
"Oh, she went out to find you a few minutes ago." Elizabeth said "I'm sure she's not far."
"Thanks." Spike said and closed the door. He began walking around Ponyville, which was dark except for the lights glazing reflections onto the street. He walked for what felt like hours. As he was walking, he heard a voice behind him speak his name. He turned and saw Rebecca.
"Ready for that big date of ours?" She said excitedly.
"Too right!" Spike said.
"Follow me. I know a good spot." Rebecca said.
She grabbed Spike's hand and they walked out of Ponyville.
"Where are going?" asked Spike as they walked up a steep bank.
"You'll see. I'm sure you will like it." Rebecca smiled at him.
Spike's question would not go unanswered for long. As they reached the top of the bank, they gasped. The view was beautiful. Ponyville could be seen in the distance. With all the lights on in the houses, Ponyville was a bright light in the distance, a few smaller lights were probably other houses. Everything looked so much better from far away.
"Wow..." was all that Spike could manage to come out of his mouth.
"Beautiful isn't it? It reminds me of Manehattan at night. All the buildings lights would be on, the stars would in the sky, it was amazing." Rebecca said.
Spike and Rebecca sat down and gazed at the view, still holding each others hands.
"Hey, that reminds me." Spike said, grabbing something out of his pocket of his blazer "I got you this. The other one is for me."
Rebecca took one of the cupcakes out of his hand and unwrapped it. It was the heart one. But a small message had been engraved on it, saying "I love you".
"Oh, thank you Spike." She said.
"My engraving skills aren't the best. But hey, no one can perfect everything, right?" Spike replied.
"I don't want you to ever be perfect, I just want you to be the same dragon you've always been." Rebecca said, slowly edging closer to Spike.
"We've only been together for three days. I'm not sure you know that much just yet!" Spike chuckled.
Rebecca laughed and Spike did to. Spike and Rebecca looked at each other for what felt like forever.
"Spike." Rebecca said.
"Yes?" Spike answered.
" I hope me and you never part ways," Rebecca said, placing her hands on Spikes shoulders "because you and me, we were made for each other, and I want it to stay that way; forever, until death."
Spike placed his hands on Rebecca's shoulders also.
"If I ever parted ways with you, I would never be able to find someone as beautiful as you." Spike softly said.
"I guess this is the part where we kiss each other." Rebecca said.
"Looks like it." Spike quickly said, and kissed her.
Rebecca held tight to Spike and kissed him to. As they kissed, a shooting star flew past them. Spike spotted it and addressed Rebecca.
"Look, a shooting star! Quick, make a wish!" Spike said.
Rebecca closed her eyes...and made a wish. When she had done, she opened her eyes and looked at Spike.
"What did you wish for?" Spike asked.
"I can't tell you, its bad luck." Rebecca shrugged.
Spike and Rebecca put there arms round another.
"I love you." Rebecca said.
"I don't know how many times we might say that in our relationship, but still... I love you to." Spike quietly said.
They kissed each other again, and then gazed upon the bright Ponyville in the distance. There friendship would be a light, a light that would stay as bright as there hearts, right until the very end.
