I spent the entire day doing nothing at all. It's not actually as fun as people make it sound. And is it just me, or have I been writing a bunch of sappy stories lately? Well add another to the list. And let's just assume that Spike is ten in the show.

Let's Try Again

It had been eight years ago since Spike first moved to Ponyville, and he had grown since then. By dragon standards he was miniscule, seeing as he was about the size of an average pony. Dragons only grew until about twenty, so he wouldn't be growing much larger.

With age came maturity, and with maturity came the attention of female ponies. It wasn't much surprise to anypony but Spike himself when Scootaloo came up to him, blushing furiously, and asked if he wanted to go on a date with her. He still held feelings for Rarity, but he guessed he could try to like somepony else. After all, if eight years produced no success, it looked bleak for him and the purple maned unicorn.

And so he said yes.

Realistically, he knew there was no chance for him and Rarity, but it was hard to let old habits die. He still occasionally found himself admiring her mane or her figure from afar, but quickly cleared his head of any thoughts. It was desperately time for him to move on, and he knew it.

So as he knocked on Scootaloo's door, he cleared Rarity from his mind and focused on making this night enjoyable not only for himself but for the pegasus as well. She answered the door and told her parents she'd be back later, and they walked towards the movie theater.

Spike had never really noticed it before, but Scootaloo had grown into a very attractive mare. The purple in her mane was a unique shade that would make anypony jealous. She had very smooth curves that served well in showing off her bright orange coat, and her eyes… Her eyes were full of life, bright with excitement and always alert.

"So Spike," she said, leaning slightly on him. "What movie are we going to watch?"

The dragon was silent for a moment before answering. "How about 'The Warriors'? They're showing that one again. I think you'd like it. It's full of action."

Maybe Spike didn't love Scootaloo, but he would damn well try.

I've never actually seen a SpikeXScootaloo ship. I think I did pretty well. The Warriors is an awesome movie. If you haven't seen it, then watch it. It's the 70's or 80's one about all the NY gangs out to get another gang.
