Hello again everybrony and welcome back a new chapter of 'My Love for Only One'. I said last chapter that there possibly will NOT be a fight again between our two eagers mares known as Twilight and Fluttershy...and I decided that there WON'T be. So lets get back where we left off, Enjoy...
"I-I'm i-i-in lo...lo...love with..." He stopped as he saw two concerned looks at him, building up pressure and stress in his mind. But he must continue. He took one quick deep breath and spoke one last time. "I'm in love with...both of you."
Both voices raised in question and the two mares looked at eachother, then to the dragon. "What!?" They both yelled in question.
"I don't whats wrong Twilight and Fluttershy. I'm in love with both of you and I can't decide who." Spike said, his heart beating rapidly in frustration, 'How can you let two mares get to you like this?' His mind asked.
"How can you be in love with both of us?" Twilight questionably responded.
"I..uh-uhm I...I don't know alright. I just don't know."
Fluttershy looked down, feeling uncomfortably keen, "but you had the flashback spike, it was me who you..."
Spike raised a claw and placed it on Fluttershys lips, he thought he should come up with something to soothen their troubles just a bit, "I know Fluttershy, it was you who comforted me through a rough time. And Twilight has been there for me my whole life. I feel for you as a great marefriend Fluttershy. Twilight I see as that as well, though in the past I felt for her like an older sister." He then recieved glares from the two, 'Shit, I didn't fully think that through'.
Twilight already had enough and lit her horn. She then teleported out of sight to who knows where, a teardrop though was the only thing that was left behind. Inside the library now were a yellow pegasus and a heart-splitting dragon.
The dragon looked away, noticing a familiar pheonix flying by to try and get his mind off of the current issue of love choosing. He raised an arm and let the bird land on it, planting its sharp talons on his rough scales. Spike then looked around for anything to eat, so he moved into the kitchen, with the pegasus following up behind him, looking very silent and unmotivated.
Approaching the refridgerator, he noticed atop of it was a small bowl of rubies, "Bingo, just what the dragon ordered!" He yelled excitedly, reaching his hand out to it and barely tipping it with his middle claw to drag it off the fridge. He brought it down and drove his hand in the pile and grabbed a handful. Opening and shutting his jaw like a crocodile as he ate the gems, crunching and crashing them like glass coming from the inside of his mouth.
"Huy Floothersha?*Gulp* Hey Fluttershy, you want to head somewhere, like maybe Sugarcube Corner, I need to get my mind off of all this commotion between you and Twi." Spike asked, looking to the pegasus who gave a small smile as she hid under her long pink mane. "Well alright then, lets go." Spike put an empty bowl down and headed for the door, laying a relaxed paw on Fluttershys back. He opened it and the two set, with as well a pheonix soaring by them for a headstart.
Where Twilight disappeared off to was the Carousel Boutique, Raritys shop and home. She had already said a couple things to the white unicorn about the crisis of love, sitting firmly on her flank as she spoke to the currently working Rarity.
"He likes both me and Fluttershy, he can't really decide on who to choose to be with."
"Well Twilight, what have you done for him to make him like you?"
"I've told him how I felt, how I appreciate and care for him, I also told him that he was my number one lover, I even kissed him and..." One last part though Twilight murmered, not feeling all that comfortable speaking about it.
Rarity rubbed her ear and crept her head next to the lavender mare, "Didn't quite hear you darling, please do speak up."
"N-Nothing, thats everything I've done so far."
Rarity put down a sewing needle and removed herself from her current seat, and sat next to Twilight who was a couple feet away, sitting on a fluffed cushion. "You have to show him how you feel deep inside, you need to make him feel you, let him know all the love and appreciation you want to share with Spike..."
"I bucked him." Twilight whispered loud enough that the white unicorn heard.
"...and last...what? You bucked him?...Well thats...a little unmandatory. Anyhow Twilight, you would also want to look gorgeous and admirable."
The opposing unicorn rose an eyebrow, "Are you sure he would like me if I did what you told me? Because this feels like a one-shot oppurtunity to win him over."
Rarity showed a non-confidential expression, "I can't say yes, but I can assure you it could most likely work. I can style up a dress just for you to show off that luxorious beauty you have." She rushed back up on her hooves and darted back to her work bench, alighting her white horn to begin a new project for her unicorn friend. Lifting up a variety of colored thread from blue to red to purple to pink. "What do you prefer darling, red or pink? These are my best choices, but I'll let you pick."
Twilight waved a hoof and gave a small smile, but disappointment was her expression, "No thanks Rarity, I really don't need a dress right now."
"Well sure you do darling, don't worry, it'll be done later this day or tomorrow at the picnic. We are bringing the pets if I do recall?"
Twilight had slight frustration, she had already said no-thank you and what part of no-thank you did Rarity not get? But the hearing of showing it off at the picnic seemed to make her feel different, 'It could be nice, but I would rather expect to wear it somewhere else.' She thought. "I would prefer red then Rarity."
"Now we're talking Twilight, it'll be finished in no time. But for now, would you like some tea or anything?" The white unicorn put down the needle and thread on her work bench, then stood from her current position and headed for her kitchen. She entered and lighted her horn to levitate a teapot that sat on a lit stove, pouring it into two teacups that were sitting near it on a counter.
The other unicorn followed behind and took a cup, "Thank you Rarity." She took a sip and waved her hoof like a fan on her open mouth the second after.
Rarity smiled, trying to keep herself restrained from giggling, "Its obviously hot darling, let it cool down a pinch. Now tell me, what do you think Spikes feels about you?" She trotted to a nearby nearly polished wooden table and sat on a cushioned chair.
Twilight sat as well next to her in another cushioned chair and spoke to her, "I'm not really sure how to say how he feels about me. All I can say is that he used to see me as an older sister, he changed over time and now he sees me as somepony else, a marefriend."
"Well thats splendid, how does he see Fluttershy on the other hoof?" Rarity glanced over to Twilight to notice her put her cup down.
Twilight took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "He sees her...as more of a big deal. Spike loves both of us and Fluttershy seems to have a better advantage of earning his heart than me."
Rarity thought for a short minute, then smiled in a slight unfortunate look, "I think I can help you with that."
Spike and Fluttershy were already in Sugarcube Corner and had ordered two strawberries smoothies from Mrs. Cake. Pinkie Pie meanwhile was currently searching in the basement for any extra ingredients for a cake project. Coincidence though, Rainbow Dash was as well there and sat with her two friends.
"So hows Spike Fluttershy? He...you know?" Rainbow Dash asked, taking a seat next to Fluttershy at a window table of the bakery.
"Am I what Rainbow? I'm right here you know." Spike recalled, turning his face over to Fluttershy who sat quietly in her seat.
"I was going to ask Fluttershy if you and her were back together."
Fluttershy's eyes sank down, covering her face behind her long and pink mane. "He loves us both, me and...Twilight."
"What!? How can he, if hes with you, then he obviously loves you more."
Spike opened his mouth to speak, but he had no response for Rainbow Dash, 'She's probably right. I probably do like Fluttershy more.' He shook his thoughts away when he saw the smoothies arrive from Mr. Cake this time. "Thanks Mr. Cake."
Right as Mr. Cake left, Pinkie Pie came out of the basement door and saw three of her friends. As she was freaking out in excitement in her mind, she hurled her body and surprisingly wrapped her hooves around all three of them, "ITS GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL! I was really bored today and I thought nopony would show today, but I was wrong."
Her lungs being squeezed out, Rainbow was able to slip out of the hug and reply to the overjoyed mare, "Its good to see too Pinkie, I guess."
"Could you stop...hugging...me...I can't *huuuuffffff*...breathe." Spike barely said, feeling no air travel down his throat as he tried escaping the amazing grip of Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie heard the dragon and let him and Fluttershy go, keeping her proud smile abroad and large. Though the pink earth pony noticed something going on, Fluttershy was showing googly eyes to Spike and Spike was trying not to show the same eyes back. Didn't Pinkie see Spike and Twilight showing the same expressions when she saw them having sex yesterday. "Spike? I thought you and Twilight were dating? Whats going on? Where's Twilight? Somepony tell me if I was asleep for a long time. Somepony get..." A hoof was placed on her lips, quieting her thankfully.
"Spikes somehow in love with both of them. Yes Pinkie I know this is confusing, but somethings wrong with him." The pegasus answered, taking a sip from Spikes smoothie and not realizing it.
"But Spike, last night you...*mph nmm*" This time, a paw covered her mouth, but Pinkie moved it aside and continued, "...you and Twilight..."
"Pinkie shut-up! Thats enough from you, lets talk about something else please." Spike pleaded, noticing Pinkie slouch down on her flank, her smile upside-down.
"that was pretty mean spike, let pinkie finish what she said. what was it again pinkie." Fluttershy bumped into the conversation, wondering what exactly the earth pony was talking about between the unicorn and the dragon.
Pinkie recovered her facial expression and exclaimed the rest without hesitation, "They had se..."
"NNNNNOOOOO! Pinkie...I'll tell her." Spike interrupted, looking to the yellow pegasus with nervousness and fear, the way he thought Fluttershys reaction would be was horrible, will Spike be able to choose easily now by going over to Twilight if Fluttershy doesn't want to see him anymore. He took a long, deep breath, looked down to his smoothie and spoke, "We...had...s-s-sex."
The look on Fluttershys face was sadness and unapproval, her heart seemed to have shattered into more pieces than it already has. Her eyes trembled and she just sat and stared at the guilty dragon. She stayed quiet and stood from her seat, looking away from everypony as a tear shed. She trotted slowly out the main doors and took to the dark-clouded sky, disappearing from sight.
Rainbow looked to Spike with much anger, grabbing him by his shoulders and bringing his scared face to her own. "DO YOU HAVE ANY SLIGHTEST BUCKING IDEA IN THAT THICK SKULL OF YOURS! YOU JUST SHATTERED MY BEST FRIENDS HEART BY TELLING YOU HAD SEX WITH TWILIGHT! I'M GOING TO SHATTER YOURS NOW! If I ever see you near Fluttershy again, your ass is mine and I will be sure you won't be able to breathe fire again." She threw Spike on his bottom and then suddenly sped out the doors to catch up with Fluttershy to see if was going to be okay.
Spike sat, not lnowing what to do now bit have anger fill his mind as well, looking to the mare who had ruined it all, "BUCKING PINKIE PIE! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD JUST BLURT OUT EVERYTHING THAT I LUCKLIY FINISHED SAYING FOR YOU!"
Pinkie sat back on her flank, her mane and tail straightening out in her sudden deep sadness, her voice softly speaking in sorrow, "i'm sorry spike, i was..."
"YOU WERE WHAT! Not thinking was one thing, you never think anyways! I shouldn't have came here with Fluttershy, I knew something like this was going to happen!"
"spike...i'm sorry, i can fix this."
"No you can't, the damage is already done and the building collapsed. Its too late to reverse it all." Spike had no idea what to do now but look at the traumatized pink mare, feeling guilty once again for taking his anger for his own actions. "...I'm sorry Pinkie Pie, I'm obviously pissed off right now and I didn't mean to make you upset. I'm gonna go okay, come by the library when you feel like. Bye." He gave a quick hug to the mare and walked out with his head down as the sky of dark clouds released showers of light rain.
As Spike walked down a street he didn't find familiar, the huge headache he experienced before struck him again, "AAAAAHHH! Not again! What is it with this AAAHHH!" He had no intention of spewing fire, but he did anyway and it did nothing to help soothen the massive head-pain he felt. He clamped his hands on his head and screamed louder to the increasing pain. He then collapsed onto the ground unconcious, dreaming of another strange experience he wasn't familiar with.
"hold on spike, you don't want to fall off like last time."
"I know Fluttershy, I'll be sure of that. Well lets head off to the skies."
A sound of wings flapping like a warm heartbeat, the sky feeling cool and slightly breezy, a few birds chirping, and even some clouds having some peaceful forms, such as a heart, a milkshake, and a flower.
The sky was beautiful when your in it, everything below looking like an advanced ant-colony. The clouds feeling very soft and yet fragile if your not a pegasus. The warm feeling of love streaking through two minds of a dragon and a pegasus as the dragon held gently on the pegasus's neck.
The two slowly swerved through the sun-setting sky, looking above he clouds to see the orange light streak across the land and skies glamorously, the magnificent beauty of it all.
"Its a beautiful sunset, isn't it Fluttershy?" The dragon softly asked, feeling the cool wind brush on his scales.
"it is spike, there was never a better time to spend a sunset with the dragon i chose to be with."
"We should come up here more often, this is so awesome to see. Me and you, just flying through these puffy clouds and seeing the sun go down and stars come out."
The stars became visible as the sun lowered into darkness, the moon shining and stars twinkling, the sight-seeing of fireflys below showing off their bright glow. The two continued surpassing clouds, coming down to a smooth landing atop of an empty hill.
The two landed and laid peacefully on their backs, looking out to the night sky of stars and well...more stars. The dragon looked to see the mare leave a hoof laying next to him, so he laid his paw over it and closed his hand. His and her cheeks turned red as they turned their faces to eachother.
"spike...can we...share a kiss?"
"Sure we can Fluttershy, just don't..."
"Spike!" The voice of the mare suddenly changed, whats going on?
"Woah Fluttershy, why do you sound like Applejack?"
"Spike!"
Spike awoke, again somewhere else instead of where he collapsed. He rubbed his head and sat up from the bed he was now in. He looked up to see an orange earth pony with a tied blonde mane and tail. "Applejack, what am I doing here?" He asked, yawning and stretching out his body to the rest he just had.
"Ah was returnin' from sellin' apples back in town n' when ah was comin' back, ah saw yer body fallen on th' road home. Ah shook ya to see if you were awake, but ya didn' answer, so ah brought ya here."
"What exactly did I miss anyways, all I last remember was being at a party at my house, suddenly my mind went blank and I don't remember anything else."
"Ya mean what happened a week ago when Twilight n' Fluttershy got into a fight."
"I was knocked out for a week?! What have I missed if I was knocked out this whole time?! Is Fluttershy okay? Is Twilight okay? Whats going on?!" The dragon began to freak out, jumping from the bed and rushing to the door of the room he was in when his body was stopped by a hoof.
"Slow down Spike, everypony is okay. But ah don' get how ya don' remember anythin' if ya were walking around all week."
"So I was sleep-walking?"
"No, you were bein' your normal self, nothin' was strange about ya except Fluttershy tellin' ya you were brainwashed." Applejack recalled, now being very confused of how Spike did not remember anything that went on the past week.
"Well this is strange, wheres Fluttershy? I got to go see her." Spike walked out the door and headed for the front door of the house he was in.
"At home ah suppose, ah saw her flyin' with Rainbow Dash, n' she didn't look right." The mare answered, following him to the exit.
"Come with me then, you seem to know whats going on so far." The dragon opened the door and began walking, calling back to AJ to go with him to Fluttershys home.
"Uuuuhhh, okay." The final words from AJ for now as she and Spike headed off to Fluttershys home just outside of Ponyville.
Fluttershy was sitting in bed at home crying, with her friend Rainbow Dash trying to comfort her through an earlier disaster. Fluttershys memories of Spike filled up her mind. How can she believe to herself that either he is back, or hes stuck the way he is.
"Fluttershy, forget about him, theres always another colt thats out there."
"no there isn't, *sniff*. spike was everything to me. he even has a filly coming."
Rainbow went silent, 'Now I'll really beat the shit out of him the next time hes near Fluttershy.' She thought, placing a hoof around the pegasus's shoulder. Having no exact reference to help her friend out now, she sighed when there was a sudden knocking at the door downstairs in the quiet home.
"Fluttershy! Its me Spike!" Called the dragon from the outside of the house with Applejack by his side.
Rainbows temper returned, didn't she tell that dragon not to come near Fluttershy about two hours ago. She rushed down and swung the door open, then tackled the dragon down, "Didn't I tell you to keep away from Fluttershy! You cheating, selfless dragon!" She raised a hoof and threw it down, but was caught by another hoof, "Huh...Applejack! Let go of my hoof, I warned this bastard and it doesn't seem to go through his skull."
"Hold on ya rabid dog, he just needs t' talk t' Fluttershy."
"And thats why I need to beat some sense into him! I don't want him near her!"
"Well ah lettin' go until you git off of 'em."
"Fine, but this was your only free chance Spike." Rainbow calmed and got off him, brushing some dust on her shoulder and letting him walk in.
The three headed upstairs into Fluttershys room, and there she was, sitting patiently on her bed, looking to the two new visitors.
Spike ran up and hugged Fluttershy, but she pushed him off, leaving the dragon to question why shes like this, same with Rainbow Dash. What did he miss? "Fluttershy, its me Spike, the one who loves you."
"The one who also cheated on Fluttershy." Rainbow budged in, glaring down at the dragon as she sat again next to the yellow pegasus.
"What are talking about Rainbow? Last I remember was Twilight forcing herself on me."
"Pinkie told us earlier you had sex with her last night."
"I did not! I love Fluttershy more than her by a longshot! Your just hearing things!"
Rainbow flew in front of his face, a deep frown added with an evil grin spreading across her face, "You wanna say that again?" She dared, preparing herself to hit the drake as hard as she ever could.
"Pinkie didn't walk in on it, it was Fkuttershy who walked in and flew off when I was going to take her to Canterlot."
"But that was almost two weeks ago when you missed the train...wait? Somethings not right."
Fluttershy smiled greatly and wrapped her hooves tightly around Spike, surprisingly yelling at the top of her lungs, "Your back Spike! The spell weared off and now your back!"
The dragon raised an eyebrow, "A spell? I was under a spell? By who?"
"by twilight, she wiped your memory a week back and you somehow recovered."
"And I don't remember anything that happened this week. What did happen exactly?...Wait Twilight!? What in the name of Celestia! Why would she do that?!"
"i'll explain that later, right now..." Fluttershy spreaded her wings out and carried the dragon outside a large open window, flying up to the sky and landing on a cloud, with the dragon now having his arms wrapped around her neck.
"Rainbow, what just happened?"
"I'll tell you later AJ. When things make sense again."
*Yawn* Well the story is coming to end in probably three or four chapters, so I'm thinking of ways to finish off this story, I have a few suggestions that I'll let you guys vote on:
A. Another clop scene between Spike and Fluttershy
B. Spike takes Fluttershy out to Canterlot without any interruptions this time
C. Fluttershy gives a friendly talk to Twilight about finding the right colt
D. Your own suggestion (If I approve and will give full credit to best idea)
I'll take two days to read off answers and I'll start on the new chapter. Happy Reading Experiences!
-Neon Scythe
P.S. I have a third story out called "Whats Left of Us" (title change soon). Where Queen Chrysalis is back after six years since her last appearence at the royal wedding. And she this time is more successful at taking over Equestrai in just two weeks, now the mane six plus others need to stop her.
