Hello, King Spike Rules here and here this is the second to last chapter of the Crystal Couple. I hope you guys enjoy the this chapter and I have an announcement at the end of this chapter.
Chapter 5: Learning from the Past.
Spike was still fuming as he walked down a few steps and headed down an ally way that lead to the main street of the Crystal Empire. As he emerged from the ally, Spike looked around and was about to hall a cab when a familiar voice called out to him.
"Lord Spike, how are you?" Spike turned to see Lain walking up to him dresses in a yellow top cut above her belly button with tight blue jeans and high heals.
"Oh, hey Lain." Spike said with a smile on his face as he looks at the young mare walking up to him.
"So, how was the party?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"Ummm, not so great." Spike said as he hung his head and sighed as he thought of what had just happened moments ago.
"Oh, that's to bad." she said as she looks around for a moment before getting a big smile on her face as she looks at Spike before speaking again, "Hey, I'm off right now. So, do you want to get something to eat."
"Ummm, sure. Why not." Spike said with a small smile on his face as he wrapped his arm around Lain's and the to walked down the street.
Back as the party, Rarity was just standing there in shock at what Spike had just said to her and her mind was going over every last word he had said to her. As she through it over, she slowly realized that what Spike had said was right and it was then she heard a voice talk to her.
"How could you do that to him?" Rarity turned and saw the yellow mare glaring at her as were her friends as she continued, "When he was with us, he could not stop saying how pretty, kind, and sweet you are and that is how you treat him?" And she stopped, and another voice caught Rarity's attention.
"Is that how you really treat your models?" Rarity turned around to see Kin standing behind her with an upset look on his face as he shock it and then turned to leave.
"Wait?" Rarity called out to one of her idols as he turned his head to look at her for a moment before speaking once again.
"Until you respect ones accomplishments, one does not deserve respect for theirs." Kin said as he walked away and the group of four mares turned from the devastated Rarity as she hung her head and tears began to form in her eyes. Just before she breaks down completely, a shadow appeared before her.
"Spike?" Rarity called out as she looks up with a smile on her face, but it vanished when she saw it was not Spike and was then shocked to see it was crystal guard standing above her.
"Please, follow me." he said in a stern tone as he turned around and began to walk away. Rarity was confused to say the least, but she simply dried her tears and followed the guard towards the VIP section. Once inside, Rarity continued to follow the guard for a few minutes until she found herself in front of a door. Rarity was feeling a little uncomfortable as the guard reached for the knob and opened it for Rarity, who was quickly ushered inside by another guard that appeared behind her and was scared when the door was closed behind her.
Meanwhile in the city, Spike was have a lot of fun with Lain as the duo walked a few feet down the street and went right into a restaurant near the party. As the duo walked in, the hostess was smiling and laughing as she turned to look at who had came in. But as her eyes laid on them, her jaw dropped and she stared in shock as she looked right at Spike.
"Ummm, hello. Are you alright?" Spike asked as he looked at her with a concerned look on his face as he snapped her out of her trance.
"Oh, yes I am." she said with a nerves smile as she picked up two menus and lead the duo toward a booth. Once they were seated, she left them and quickly got on her phone to text her friends. After a minute or so, their waiter showed up and was too shocked at seeing Spike, but kept his cool.
"Can I get you something to drink?" he asked with a smile on his face as he looked at the two.
"A couple of colas." Spike said as he continued to look through his menu and looked up at the waiter.
"I good with that." Lain said with a smile as the waiter wrote it down and left to get their drinks. Once he was gone, she looked at Spike with a smile on her face.
"So, tell me what it's like being a dragon?" Lain said as she leaned forward and smiled at him.
"Ummm, well..." Spike trailed off for a moment before talking about what he liked about being a dragon
Back at the party, Rarity was very nerves as she looked around the pitch black room and when she saw nothing, she turned back towards the door. Unfortunately, it was not there, which made the fashion pony even more nerves and she began to panic as she reached out to try and feel for the door.
"Hello, any one there?" Rarity called out as she tried to call for help as she franticly continued to look for the door, when suddenly the floor under her began to glow and turned into a path that lead further into the darkness. Confused, Rarity slowly followed it as she continuously looked around for any soul that was in the room with her. After a few minutes of walking, a bright light appeared to her right and as she turned towards it, an image appears.
"That's right and I have clothes just right for the show, but I need your help." Rarity said as she placed her hand Spike leg and waited for him to react, and once she face turned from purple to bright red, she continued, "I want you to come with me and model my outfits for me."
"What, me? But I'm no model." Spike said as he felt unsure if he should do that.
"Please, it will make the entire Crystal Empire and me very happy, Spikey-Wikey." Rarity said as she leaned against him and gave him the puppy dog look, he was hers.
"Alright, sure. I'll do it for you." Spike said with a smile as Rarity got very excited.
"Oh, thank you Spike." Rarity said as she leaned forward planted a sweet kiss on his cheek. Making Spike swoon over the action. After the image was over, it disappeared look appears on her face after she had just relived one of the moments that pushed Spike away.
"How could I have done that?" she asked herself as another bright light appeared behind her, and as she turned around. She saw another scene from a few days ago.
"Alright, maybe that is a small reason. If I help her, then she might finally see me as something more then just a friend." Spike said in a dreamy state.
"Spike, she could just be using your fame in the Crystal Empire to make other ponies to like her outfits better." Twilight said in a calm tone as she looked at Spike with concern look on her face.
"Oh Twilight, do you really think Rarity would do something like that?" Spike asked with a slight chuckle to his voice has he walked past Twilight and gave her a kiss on the cheek before he walked past her, Leaving a worried Twilight to chuckle slightly as she turned and followed him down the stairs. Rarity was shocked by that as she looked away and began to think of what she had just heard.
"He trusts me that much?" she asked herself as the image vanished like the first one and then she continued on with what she had just saw.
Back at the restaurant, Spike was wiping his mouth as he placed his fork on the plate in front of him and then he lifted up his hand to flag down his waiter.
"Is there anything else I can get for you?" he asked with a smile on his face as he stopped right in front of the table.
"No, I'm good. You Lain?" Spike asked with a smile as he looked at the lovely mare sitting across from him.
"No thank you." Lain said as she leaned back and relaxed as for a few minutes.
"Alright, I guess we're just take that check." Spike said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, no. Your meal is on us. Lord Spike." the waiter said with a smile on his face.
"Really, thanks." Spike said as he pulled out his wallet and placed twenty bits on the table as the two of them got up from the table, and proceeded towards the exit. Once outside, Lain looked around as Celestia's was still just starting to set in the distance.
"So, would you like to see the latest Zombie Ponies movie?" Lain asked as she looked away and blushed a little bit.
"Really, not a lot of mares like those kind of movies. Sure." Spike said as he took Lain's hand and walked with her towards the movie theater.
Rarity continued to walk down the glowing path for what had felt like hours until she saw another bright light appear farther down the bath. Seeing it, Rarity ran down the path until she arrived at the bright light and watched as another image appeared before her.
"Oh, your finally here, Darling." Rarity said as she walked up and hugged Twilight, who hugged her back half heartedly. After that, she turn to see Spike with arms stretched out and she said, "Oh, Spike. Would you be a dear and put my stuff in our private car?"
"Umm, Sure." Spike said with a slight disappointed tone as he walked past the two mares and began to pick up her suitcases. As he was doing this, the others watched him and did not look pleased at what they saw.
"She could not even give him a hug?" Applejack asked out loud to the others.
"Apparently." Dash answered her as the two looked at each other and then began to help the poor dragon with his work. As this was going on, Twilight and Rarity watched them from the other side of the platform, and finally Twilight spoke up. After seeing herself like that, Rarity once again began to realized just how much she missed used Spike and his kinds.
"Why did I act like that?" Rarity asked out loud as she notice another bright light behind her and as she turned, she saw another scene of what had happen the last week,.
"Wow, this stuff looks great." Spike said with a smile as he plopped down one of the chairs and took a ruby from a large bowl in the center of the of the wood table.
"Spike, what are you doing?" Rarity asked in an upset tone as crosses her arms in front of her.
"Umm, relaxing?" Spike said with a confused look on his face as he was not sure what he did that upsetted her.
"Well, don't eat those. They gave us these gems as gifts and are just going to eat them?" Rarity asked.
"Well, they did put this sign that reads. "For the Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious"." Spike said as he pointed to a note in front of the bowl.
"Well, fine." Rarity said as she walked past the table and sat on the bed as she stared to remove her boots. Once they were off, she began rub them and groaned on how sore they were.
"I could help with that?" Spike said as he looked at the mare sitting on the bed and she smiled back at him.
"Oh, would you Darling?" Rarity said as she put her foot out towards Spike, who got out of his seat and walked over to her. And then he dropped to his knees and began to massage Rarity's sore feet. Oh, thank you Spike." Rarity said as she reached into the bag Spike gave her and pulled out a small, black mushroom. Once it was out, she screamed in glee as she ran into back into the bath room as Spike began to enjoy his own meal. After eating nearly the whole tray, Spike laid on the bed and began to rest his eyes. That was, until he suddenly heard Rarity's voice.
"Spike, what are you doing?" she asked as she walked out of the back and saw him.
"Umm, getting ready to sleep?" Spike answered in a confused tone.
"But we can't share a bed and a true gentlecolt would give the bed to a lady," Rarity said as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Wait, then how am I laying in here?" Spike asked as he was not sure if he liked how the whole thing was going so far.
"Oh, I arranged for you to have the booth nearest here." Rarity said with a smile as she looks sweetly into his eyes. Spike wanted to say something, but the way she looked at him just made him give as he stood up and grabbed a blanket as he walked out of the room with E=Rarity closing the door behind him. Rarity was shock at seeing what she had did mere days ago, and was starting to feel sick from what she was treating Spike like that.
"I abuse and yell at him, but he still treats me so kind." Rarity said in a sadden tone as the image vanished and she continued down the glowing path.
TBC.
Well, that was it for this chapter. It was going to be the last chapter with a sex scene, but this idea got stuck in my head and so I went with it. The sex scene will be in the next chapter. Also, I have to announce the second Dragon Mating Season comic is now on Palcomix, called Sex-Ed with Miss Twilight Sparkle. And finely, I'm putting up a poll to see if I should try something.
