Hello, King Spike Rules here and this is the next chapter to Heating. Well, we are nearing the climax of the story and I hope you all enjoy this since we all get what we want from the last chapter along with other things to happen in this chapter.
Chapter 7: What the Heart Wants.
Spike just stared at the hall way that Pinkie had just vanished down while crying, and after a few moments to get his head clear to what had happen just then. He turned to look at Rarity, who had her arm wrapped around his and a sick looking smile on her face as she tried to start walking with him.
"Come along Spike, the other's are waiting for us." she said as she continued to try and lead Spike down the hall, but he refused to move as he planted his feet firmly, and looked at her in shock as she turned to look at him while she asked, "What is it?" That question was it for Spike and he pulled his arm from her grasp.
"You are unbelievable." he said as he began to run down the hall after Pinkie, leaving a confused and shocked Rarity to just stand there while watching him run from her after Pinkie. Spike ran over the stairs and leaped down from the top, landing on the coffee table. Which caught the attention of all five ponies as they looked at him.
"Girl's, were is Pinkie?" he asked them and they all looked at him blankly for a few seconds before they shook their heads from the shock of seeing him jump long enough for them to answer him.
"Yeah, she just ran out of here crying." Fluttershy said as the other looked at each other and nodded to conform to Spike that it was the truth.
"Crap." Spike yelled as he hopped off the table and began to dig through the nearby closet as the girls just watched him, not sure why he was acting so frantic.
"Yeah, what did happen?" Applejack asked as she felt they all should know why their friend ran out of here crying and the others nodded as they too really wanted to know what was going on.
"Spike, what are you doing?" Rarity called out from the top of the stairs and they looked up at her, seeing she had a mad look on her face as she was starting to walk down the stairs and she had not taken her eyes off of Spike one second.
"Not now Rarity." he said as he found what he was looking for and sat down near the closet as he began to put his boots on. Hearing Spike just blow her off like she was nothing enraged Rarity as she let out a loud huff and reached the final step to return to the ground floor.
"So, your just going to ignore me after I give you the attention you always wanted from me?" she asked him and she put her hands on her hips.
"Yeah." he said as he didn't turned around and barely let her know she was there as he continued to work on something while sitting down on the floor until he finished. Spike then stood up and revealed that he was wearing his snow boots, making all of the girl except Rarity gasp
"So, oh you want to go after some party floozy then spend the night with me?" Rarity asked as she was shocked at how this was going and did not expect Spike to act this way, while the others were shocked at what she had just said about her friend Pinkie. Spike heard what she said too and turned to look at her as he began to walk towards her.
"You know what Rarity, you seam to see me as a friend and nothing more up until I start showing possible feelings to some pony else." Spike took a pause as he got in her face and glared at her as he added, "Your just a jealous, awful little tramp." He then turned and walked away as Rarity had a shocked look on her face as did the others as they had just watched all this. It took a few moments until Twilight snapped out of it when Spike opened the door and snow blew into the library.
"Spike wait." she said as she got up and walked towards him as the others too got up to join her as she continued, "You can't just go out there in this weather." Spike looked at her for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh as he looked down to the floor.
"I'm sorry Twilight, but I have to find her." he said as he turned and walked out into the snowy night, leaving all four of them shocked at what he had just done.
"Good riddance you damn dragon." Rarity said as she crossed her arms and let out another huff, leaving all four of them shocked as Twilight turned to look at Rarity with a glare on her face that would make Nightmare Moon piss herself as did the other glare at her commit.
"What did you say about my little brother?' Twilight asked as Rarity looked at her for a few seconds before gulping and taking a step back as she was not sure what was about to happened as Twilight walked towards her, but she knew it was not going to be good.
SPike paused
The snow was falling to the ground hard and the wind blowing that made visibility nearly impossible, and yet Spike continued to try and follow Pinkie's trail as he ran after a blur as fast as the snow would allow.
"PINKIE PIE!" Spike called out into the snow and crossed his arms while shivering, he knew it was not the best of ideas to walk out of the house into the snow with out any real warm clothes or the protection spell. But he couldn't worry about that right now since he was on a mission to find the girl that was in this storm just like that. "PINKIE, where are you?" he called out once again as he continued to walk through the snowy storm, but he was starting to get weaker the longer he stayed in the cold and soon he was barely able to walk forward for more then a few feet before he fell to the ground in a thud. As Spike struggled to get up and looked on, seeing something against a wall that looked off and then he heard something.
"H-how could I be stupid." a voice said as he could hardly see them, but he heard that voice and he knew who it was that said that. And so, he forced himself to his feet and slowly staggered forward towards the figure until she came into view. She was sitting against a wall of one of the building, not wearing anything except for her outfit and was curled in a ball with tears running down her face.
"P-P-P-Pinkie?" Spike said stuttering as he walked towards her and her head jerked up to look back at him as she heard his voice. She quickly stood up and looked at him as she was shocked at seeing him out in the, so shocked in fact that she lost her voice for a few seconds as he moved closer to her in the deep snow.
"Spike, what are you doing out here?" she asked as she was confused as to what would have made him come out to find her, but she was in no better condition as she was barely wearing anything and definitely not for weather like what they were stuck in.
"I-I-I w-w-wanted t-to s-sa-say something t-to you." Spike said as he continued to shiver from the cold and he could feel his legs getting wobbly from under him, but he kept his balance as he looked her in the eye as he continued, "I-I-I..."
"Yes?" she asked as she could feel her heart began to race as she leaned forward form where she was standing and listened closely to him as she wanted to hear what he was going to say through the heavy snow, and wind as it was blowing harder then moments ago. Which was getting to Spike even faster as he could feel his heart slowing down and he knew this meant he didn't have much more time to tell her.
"I-I've b-b-been th-thinking a-a-about w0what's been h-h-h-happening between us..." Spike paused for a few moments as he was having trouble to get his thoughts to leave his mouth the way it should have, but he shook his head to clear it and he looked at her in the eye as he finished, "I-I l-l-love you." These words made pinkie gasp and lean against the wall as she was not truly ready for him telling her this, and yet here he was, the dragon of her dreams, telling her that he was in love with him. But her mind had little time to soak in what he had just said as Spike passed out in front of her.
"SPIKE!"Pinkie yelled as she felled to her knees and made him look at her as she petted his cheek while saying, "Please, not now. You can't leave me right now after what you just said." She continued to pat his cheeks and tears began to form in her eyes as he was not responding as she began to wale, "No, SPIKE. Please wake up. I need you." she screamed at the top of her lungs as she looked up to the heavens and waled even louder as the thought of being with out him was nearly to much. But as she continued her crying, Spike's body suddenly jolted and his eye quivered a little as he opened up his eyes.
"Oh, Pinkie. Your in heaven too?" Spike asked as he looked up at her with a small smile and Pinkie's head shot down to look at him, shocked that he was still alive even though they were in the cold.
"N-no, y-your not in heaven Spike." Pinkie said as she looked down at him and wiped her tears from her face as she continued with what she was saying, "Your still in Ponyville." Spike just looked up at her and smiled wide as he put his hand on her cheek.
"Your here, so it is heaven." he said as he moved his hand around a little and wiped her tears away, making Pinkie smile back at him and she put her hand on his as she looked down at him.
"Your such a corny dragon." she said as they looked at each other and began to lean closer, going in for a kiss and their first kiss.
"WHOOO, way to go Spike." a voice called out from the snow, and both Spike and Pinkie's eyes widen as they turned towards the voice, which quickly yelled out, "Ouch, what was that for?"
"You ruined their moment Dash." another voice called out from the snow as well, and they both knew that voice as Twilight walked into view from the storm with a smile on her as Dash walked up next to her while rubbing her head.
"You didn't need to hit me." she mumbled as Twilight turned towards her and shot her a glare, which made Dash gulp and looked away from her while whistling. After doing that, Twilight turned to look at Spike and Pinkie, who were both bright red from having their moment being heard by two of their friends was to much for them to take.
"You two alright?" she asked as Spike and Pinkie were slowly standing up, and they both quickly realized that they were not really cold anymore and they nodded a yes. "Very good, now. How about we three have a walk to the SugarCube Corner and have a private talk over there?" Twilight asked as she began to walk towards the shop and they were both shocked at how calm she really was after hearing all that had happened, but they had little choice in excepting the request and then followed Twilight.
"You three do that." Dash said smiling as she watched them leave the area and then smirked as she turned around, and headed back towards the library as she said, "I'll go tell the others what happened." But she didn't make it five feet before a snowball flew through the air and hit her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground and slowly got up with a groan.
After finishing the quick walk to the bakery, Pinkie lead them up to her room and began to get some drinks as Twilight sat at the table in the center of the room with Spike sitting across from her. Spike was still bright red from what had just happened in the middle of the snow with him and Pinkie, and the fact that Twilight and Dash had heard it was not helping any.
"Spike, I need to talk to you about what you did just a few moments ago." Twilight said as Pinkie stepped over and placed mugs of hot chocolate in front of them, and Twilight began to enjoy sipping hers as Spike gulped and looked at Pinkie as she sat down next in between them at the table.
"Twilight, I understand this is sudden and all of me saying I love Pinkie but..." he paused as he looked at her and she looked back at him with a loving smile while offering him her hand. This made Spike smile wider and he took her hand into his claw as he continued, "But I love her, she sweet, kind, and is always there to help me keep my spirit up when I feel down. So, I'm not going to stop seeing her and I hope you can accept that." Twilight continued to sip on her hot chocolate for a few more moments before lowing it and looking at him with a kind smile.
"Oh, that's fine. And I'm happy for you two." she said with a sweet tone, much to the shock of both of them as Spike and Pinkie looked at each other for a few seconds before either of them could thing of something to say.
"R-really?" he asked her and watched Twilight nod yes, making Spike let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at Pinkie before he asked, "So, what were you talking about?"
"You can't just run out into the snow storm like that." Twilight said as he smile vanished to that of a worried look on her face as she continued, "If me and Dash didn't find you when we did." Her voice began to break as tears filled her eyes before she launched herself forward and wrapped his arms around him as she cried out, "I never want to lose you." Spike was surprised for a mere second before smiling and wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't worry, I will never do that again." he said smiling as he continued to Twilight as Pinkie looked at them and smiled, as she was happy that not only did she have Spike but that twilight was happy for them to have each other.
