Spike went home quickly to find Twilight hard at work trying to learn some new magic spell or something.

"Spike you're home! Here come help me!" Twilight commanded.

"Sorry Twi. Can't. I've got a date tonight." Spike said rushing upstairs past Twilight.

Right as Spike was running upstairs Twilight burst out laughing, "You? Date? Who?"

"Why do you want to know?" Spike asked smirking a bit, "Jealous maybe?"

Twilight hung her head in embarrassment. Twilight hadn't been on a date that Spike knew about in a long time.

"Wha- what?" Twilight said uncomfortably, "Not at all. So who are you going with?"

Spike decided to spare his friend any more embarrassment by saying, "Apple Bloom."

Twilight nodded in acknowledgement but didn't dare say anything about it because if she did Spike might bring up Twilight's dating problem again.

"So where are you two going?" Twilight asked.

Spike explained the situation that she asked him out and he didn't know. He decided to leave the part about having three dates out though, and instead leave it on a need to know basis.

"Well you better leave then because it's almost five forty five," Twilight said before adding, "Good luck."

Spike walked out the door ready to face anything. On his walk down to Sweet Apple Acres Spike felt like he was on top of the world and he had never had the confidence he had now. This was going to be Spike's first date and even though he was reluctant earlier he told himself that he might as well give it a shot.

"I wonder what we're going to do." Spike wondered.

As he walked through the gate to Sweet Apple Acres he saw Apple Bloom was waiting for him near the barn with a small basket sitting next to her. Spike walked up to her trying to think what to say.

"Hiya Spike!" Apple Bloom greeted.

"Hi Apple Bloom!" Spike said before asking, "So what are we going to do?"

"Ah was thinkin' that we shoul' go and hav' a picnic o'er near the clubhouse." Apple Bloom suggested.

Spike agreed and they headed toward the clubhouse talking leisurely. When they got there they laid out a blanket over the grass and sat down.

Spike, not really sure what to say, decided to ask Apple Bloom the most simple questions he could think of so he wouldn't mess anything up, "So, how was your day?"

Apple Bloom smiled and took off at the question, "Ah had so much fun todah! I wen' with Sweetie and Scootaloo to Sugarcube Corner and spent the day makin' stuff for the Cakes."

Spike smiled and nodded thinking to himself, "She finally gets it I guess. To get her Cutie Mark she has to do something she loves."

Spike's thought were suddenly cut off when he heard, "and apparently Scoots and Sweetie both are going out too."

What? How had Spike managed to screw up this time when all he asked was "How was your day?"

"Oh that's great! So why'd you ask me on this date in the first place?" Spike asked trying to turn the tables.

Apple Bloom either didn't care or didn't hear Spike as she just kept on talking about how friends and her all had dates. Spike was relieved to hear that none of them would tell who they were going out with but he knew that it wouldn't last for long. As soon as this date was over he needed a plan and fast because as soon as they figured out Spike was the same date for all three of them he would be screwed. He knew he had to talk with Twilight and see if she could come up with a plan. But then again how would Twilight react to the situation he was in?

Spike was determined to stay focused on the date so he asked his question again, "So why'd you ask me out in the first place."

"Well ya are one of the nicest ponies, erm, I mean dragons I know… and well ya see," Apple Bloom said trying to get the words out before abandoning the thought completely, "so ya."

Spike could tell she was holding something back. He raised an eyebrow at her as if to say, go on.

Apple Bloom sighed, "Listen can we just leave it at that."

Spike was unsatisfied but decided to let it go for now, but throughout the whole picnic he made sure not to forget about it. Every now and then he would ask subtle questions trying to get the answer, which Apple Bloom didn't seem to notice. It wasn't really because he had to know but more for the sake of knowing that Apple Bloom hadn't been completely honest with her intentions behind the date.

Other than that Spike had a great time. After the picnic they decided to walk through the field of apple trees. Spike looked around and all he could see was apple tree after apple tree for what seemed like forever.

He finally decided to ask the question again just to see if he could pry out an answer, "Listen Apple Bloom, I don't care why you asked me on this date I just think it would be best for me to know why."

Apple Bloom sighed, "Alright, ya see when I was at school this week, ah made ah bet wit' Diamond Tiara."

Spike raised his eyebrow slightly.

"And Ah told her tha' I coul' get a date faster than she coul'." Apple Bloom explained.

Spike frowned, "And that's the only reason you asked me out? You could of just told me the situation and I would of backed you up you know."

He wasn't mad because he understood why Apple Bloom did what she did, he was just a little hurt that she didn't really want to go out on a date with him for himself.

"Ah am sorry Spike. It's just a little embarrassin'."

Spike wasn't that disappointed to be honest and he did feel genuine sympathy for Apple Bloom, "Don't worry about it Apple Bloom. Even if it wasn't a real date I still had fun either way. If you tell Diamond Tiara that you went on a date with me I'll back you up."

"Really? Thank ya so much Spike." Apple Bloom said giving him a hug.

Spike left back for the library to get ready for his second date with Scootaloo. When he got back he called for Twilight to see if she was still around but he got no answer. He had intended to talk to her about his situation with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. He checked the clock and he saw it was seven thirty he immediately headed back out and headed over to Scootaloo's house.

He knocked on the door and Scootaloo answered it, "Hey, Ready to go?"

"Ya I can't wait! By the way who are we seeing?" Spike asked curious.

"Oh! The opening act is a rock band that Rainbow Dash is a part of and I think she is the lead guitar and she sings lead vocals. I think they're called The Future Greats. And then after that we get to see Dark Pony!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

"Is Rainbow Dash any good? I never knew she was in a band." Spike asked.

Scootaloo looked at him as if he had just cursed out Granny Smith, "Of course Rainbow Dash is good! She is only the most awesomest pony in all of Equestria!"

Spike decided not to argue about it and they headed off for the concert which was on a clearing right in front of the Everfree Forest. There was a huge crowd that must have been at least half of Ponyville but there were probably a lot of ponies from out of town too. He recognized a few of the ponies as he and Scootaloo tried to find their spot but the majority of the crowd he did not recognize. Then he saw one pony that he defiantly knew, Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh no. If Twilight sees me then my cover could be blown. She knows that I was supposed to be on a date with Apple Bloom earlier. I can't let her see me." Spike thought.

Spike didn't take is eyes away from Twilight until Scootaloo hit him in the arm to tell him that it was about to start. He saw Rainbow Dash fly up to the front of the stage, with a guitar in hand, to the microphone. She didn't say a word and Dash began to play. To Spike's surprise Dash was a pretty decent and made a pretty good impression, and about halfway through that first song Spike began to let up and just focused on having fun.

Spike realized that Rainbow Dash was singing to one of his favorite songs, "You're Gonna Go Far Kid" by the Offspring. Spike was having a blast and soon enough Dark Pony was out on stage and Rainbow Dash had joined Twilight in the crowd.

"Phew! At least Twilight will be distracted." Spike told himself.

Spike looked at Scootaloo and she looked back and both their eyes became huge and they smiled wide. This was it.

The crowd started chanting over and over again, "DARK PONY! DARK PONY! DARK PONY! DARK PONY! DARK PONY!"

The lead singer, Red Mane, looked back at his band and they nodded. They started with a very familiar song that they seemed to play at every concert and everypony in the audience seemed to recognize it as well.

Scootaloo shook Spike and yelled over the noise of the crowd, "THIS IS AMAZING!"

Spike attempted to respond over the noise of the crowd but the crowd was too loud so he just nodded and smiled instead.

The concert lasted a good two hours and Spike and Scootaloo had a blast. Dark Pony was great as always and the whole way back to Scootaloo's house they could not stop talking about it.

"I can't believe they played so well! They were even better in person than I thought!" Scootaloo said as they walked up to her house, "That was so cool! Anyway thanks for coming with me Spike. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ya that would be awesome." Spike said.

Scootaloo turned and walked inside as Spike waved goodbye. Spike started back down the path towards the library. He couldn't believe how great the concert had been and time passed so quickly as reminisced that he hardly noticed that he had already made it back to the library.

He stepped inside only to be greeted by an angry Twilight Sparkle who had apparently been waiting for him, "Spike! What were you thinking?"

Sorry that i couldn't put any song lyrics in at the concert but it is against site rules so no dice.

Okay so last chapter i got a lot of people saying that they liked it and i'm really glad so i thought i would respond to some of your reviews.

ultimateCCC- SOrry couldn't fit him in. :(

Matthias123 and Sir Crimson- Well you are probably disappointed by this chapter then. Sorry guys but Apple Bloom is very difficult for me write for and i don't really care for her character much.

Sir Crimson and dr rockso64- I thought they were around the same age but my friend keeps arguing with me about it so i just decided to say they were the same age in the beginning so no one could misinterpret it.

To everyone else who commented its not that i'm ignoring you, i appreciate you taking the time to review my story it's just i either didn't know what to say or didn't want to give up to much of rest of the story.

Just so you know i probably won't be able to update for about a week or two because i've got testing and projects and tons of other things to do so don't feel like I've abandoned you

So as always feel free to review and thank you
