The Tour
The next morning Spike was standing on the balcony, looking at the sun rise from Ponyville while everything was bright but his sky was dark with Black and dark green clouds and thunder crashed and lightning flashed at the side of his tower.
Spike was marveling the lightning show when he heard breathing "Hello Applejack" he said turning to see the just said mare.
"How did you?" Applejack started.
"I could hear your breath coming from the bottom of the stairs" Spike said then he frowned "It was filled with fright" he told her.
"Well no offense but being alone with the Bringer of The Apocalypse will do that" Applejack replied.
"How can I take it other than offense" Spike said "You don't have to be afraid, I have never once attacked you or your home, you should be greatful" he told her with no warmth.
"But why did yew do it, why did yew leave me'h alone?" Applejack asked.
"I don't know" Spike frowned "I guess it was because I still had more Sentimentality than I thought, It was my weakness" he said.
"Sentiment is not a weakness, it means you still cared" Applejack frowned this time.
"ah Gag", but now there is no ounce of sentiment within me now, you saw it in action" Spike grinned coldly.
"That is true you were hardly holding back, but let me'h ask ya'h why did yew come in ma'h room in the middle of the night and put a blanket over me'h" Applejack asked Spike just looked at her with no expression "Yeah don't think ah did not peak open an eye and saw you walk out" she said.
"I Still don't know why I did that, maybe I want you comfortable here" Spike answered "any way there is waffles and assorted fruit and apple fritters you should chow down" he said.
"Right" Applejack said before walking away but turned back to Spike "but maybe there is still more warmth than cold than ya'h think" she said before walking away.
Spike just stood there silent and confused "What is it with this Pony why doesn't she see me like the others?" he said.
Applejack was greeted with a warm meal, a meal just like Spike said.
"A bit of a short cut to make food but it's mighty tasty" Applejack stated well eating sitting at a round table, Spike walked in and got himself a plate and sat at the other end of the table made of granite and gray marble with a large emerald in the middle.
The two sat in silence eating "So how about I take you for a tour in my home" Spike said.
"That will be nice" Applejack answered, Spike finished and made his plate disappear.
"Meet me by my door and I'll give you the tour" Spike instructed, Applejack came to him 40 minutes later.
"You must have been hungry to make me wait this long" Spike said a bit annoyed.
"Well Pardon me'h ah was watching ma'h dish's" Applejack snarked.
"Well follow and listen I'm only going through this tour once" Spike said with seriousness, Spike showed he the rooms he can make activities for them if she asks, he led them up the stairs to the towers.
"Okay the stairs on the right and left lead to the tower's balcony's" Spike told her "But don't go to the middle one, that one is my private chambers" he said.
"Is that understood?" Spike said firmly.
"Of course my master" Applejack snarked.
"fiance not master" Spike frowned "Your allowed to go anywhere but not this tower" he said with more force, but then he sighed "Maybe if we get closer I will show whats up there but for now stay out" he said, Applejack walked but looked at Spike without him knowing, she saw him casting saddened look up at the stairs and sighed but went back to a face of stone and she looked forward.
"And at nights you can watch the moon and the stars" Spike said.
"Do you?" Applejack asked.
"I don't look at another's sky but my own" Spike replied "But if you want to see Luna's sky I can grant you that, whats mine is yours" he said spitting the name out like it was poisonous
"And my turn to ask something" Spike spoke "Why did you let me go and why did you sing to me make me remember my weak self?" he said making Applejack fumble her words.
"Because I expected Fluttershy to do something like that, so why did you?" Spike said.
"Well ah. I uh, I just thought there was something in yew worth saving" Applejack answered.
"The other reason?" Spike replied.
"ah didn't sing to make you remember, I sang for the ponies you made fear you remember" Applejack said.
"To remember a creature ponies could walk over" Spike spat "If you remember I was pushed aside by the ponies I thought I could trust just because I befriended Thorax, I Hate them" he spat.
"Cadance, Shining Armor Twilight, the ones that saw you as family" Applejack cut in that statement made Spike snap
"There not my family!" Spike shouted as his eyes glowed and thunder crashed and the castle shook "my family is deadall because of that brat throwing a tantrum, If I didn't make the demands I wou-" he started.
"You would kill her?," Applejack said "Did it ever occurred to her that she regretted it after" she asked.
"Doesn't matter matter, I'll never let it go or forgive what she or Twilight has done to me" Spike said even voice.
"What about you?, you threatened thousands, millions of ponies in your quest for power" Applejack said heatedly "You struck down anypony rose against you, didn't care about anything or anyone but you" she said.
"Because I saw ponies for what they are, Monsters" Spike hissed.
"But that seems to change somehow yew haven't done anything to me'h" Applejack said "You gave me a meal and a warm bed instead of a cold tower" she said.
"Would you prefer that I didn't?" Spike said.
"Just saying there is more good in ya than yew think" Applejack said before walking away.
