"Oh hi Twilight! What's up?" Spike said nervously.

"Oh don't give me that Spike! I saw you at the concert!" Twilight yelled.

"Oh was that you?" Spike asked trying to avoid the subject.

"Don't give me that Spike! I thought you said you were going to be with Apple Bloom," Twilight yelled demanding an answer, "Why did you lie?"

Spike was avoiding eye contact at all costs. The only thing worse than looking at Twilight right now would be "The Stare" that Fluttershy gave.

Spike sighed, "Alright Twi I'll tell you what happened."

Spike explained what had happened and how he had been caught off guard when Apple Bloom asked him, how Scootaloo tricked him, and how he just gave in to Sweetie Belle. He also decided to tell Twilight about Apple Bloom and how that was already over and how much fun he had with Scootaloo.

"I don't care Spike! Do you realize what you've done and how you can hurt all of them?" Twilight exclaimed.

"But Twi I—" Spike started.

"Seriously Spike what were you thinking?" Twilight asked starting to calm down.

"Okay I only have my date with Sweetie Belle tomorrow and I can't cancel it so I'll just go on my date with her and make my decision between her and Scootaloo after. Okay?" Spike planned.

"Okay Spike but this is your only chance. If word gets out between the two of them you could not only ruin your friendship with them but their friendships with each other as well." Twilight warned.

Spike nodded. He walked upstairs and went straight to bed. It had been one of the most hectic days of his life.

He woke up the next morning refreshed and ready to tackle the day. Spike looked at the clock, which told him it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. He had slept through the whole morning and his date with Sweetie Belle was in only six hours. The next six hours went by extremely quick and before he knew it he was leaving out the front door of the library to go meet Sweetie Belle for his date.

He came up to Carousel Boutique and knocked on the door. Sweetie Belle opened the door a welcomed him in and told him her plans for the night, "So tonight we are going to go to the restaurant across the street from the Cake's shop, I think it's called The Everfree Diner. Anyway should we get going?"

Spike smiled and responded, "Ya! I can't wait! I'm starving!"

Sweetie Belle giggled and they walked out towards Sugar Cube Corner. On their way they talked, and Spike found it much easier to talk to Sweetie Belle than most ponies just like it was with Scootaloo. She gave off a totally different vibe than her sister, Rarity who always had more refined tastes. Sweetie Belle was different, she talked with Spike about stuff Rarity would cringe at like pranks, jokes, and Twilight's bad bedhead from her all night study sessions.

They finally got to The Everfree Diner and they stepped inside. The restaurant was busy with the staff and random ponies walking about. The diner had a hardwood floor with tables scattered throughout the room that stretched across half the room and a bar on the side. In the very back of the room there was a stage with an old karaoke machine and a microphone right in front of it.

Spike had a bad feeling about this but he and Sweetie Belle sat down at their table and looked at their menus. They ordered a basket of fries and a hamburger for each of them. You would think Spike would know what to say since this was third date in two days but his mind just went blank.

"Guess dating never gets easy…" Spike thought.

"So Sweetie, how has it been staying home alone?" Spike asked.

"It's fun but I do miss Rarity, but I guess it was good for her to get out of town and back in the big city. She really loves going to Canterlot even if it is only for a few days."

"And have you Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom gotten any closer to getting your Cutie Marks?"

"We didn't get them today, but I'm sure we will get them soon!" Sweetie Belle predicted, "I wonder what they will be?"

"Well I don't know about Apple Bloom and Scootaloo but I know that you are an amazing singer. Maybe that's what your Cutie Mark will be!" Spike encouraged.

Sweetie Belle was about to say something but was cut off by a pony who had apparently come to the stage in the back and was now making an announcement, "Hello everypony! It's that time that we start our karaoke time!"

Spike was looking around to see who was getting up to sing. There must have been at least sixty ponies ranging from foals to the oldest ponies in town and not one of them got up. That was, until Sweetie Belle started to drag him up onto the stage. Before he knew what was happening he was standing in front of the restaurant with only Sweetie Belle on his left and the karaoke machine on his right. He had no idea what song they were going to sing but Sweetie Belle whispered something in the pony's ear and he snickered and went over to the karaoke machine.

Spike stood awkwardly on the stage waiting for something to happen. Was he really going to do this? He knew he was a horrible singer from all the times Twilight told him to shut up when he was singing in the library but did that really matter? Karaoke was supposed to be fun and Spike was going to do his best and even if he didn't sing great he was going to make his performance as memorable as possible!

The song started to play and Spike couldn't believe it. The song was "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" by Elton John and it was probably one of the most legendary duets that Spike could think of. Spike sang his opening lyrics and Sweetie Belle followed in suit and they carried on from there.

Spike started to dance. He knew he looked like an idiot but he kept on looking Sweetie Belle right in the eyes as he sang and danced while also attempting to pull off a few hand motions as well.

Sweetie Belle's amazing singing made up for Spike's lackluster voice and she carried him throughout the whole song that way. The crowd laughed at Spike's and marveled at Sweetie's voice. They seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves and so were Spike and Sweetie.

The song finally ended and Sweetie Belle and Spike jumped off the stage and went back to their seats to find their food waiting for them. A few stallions gave Spike a brohoof on his way back to the table. Another pony got on stage but Spike and Sweetie Belle just talked to each other about their performance. They enjoyed themselves the rest of the night listening to the karaoke, eating their food, and talking. When it was finally time to go they walked out the door laughing and just having fun heading back to Carousel Boutique.

About halfway there Spike noticed something odd about Sweetie Belle. She had her cutie mark!

"Sweetie Belle look! It's your cutie mark!" Spike exclaimed.

Sweetie looked to see a microphone surrounded by a giant heart.

When she looked back up at Spike she squealed, "Oh my gosh Spike! Do you know what this means?"

Spike blinked. He knew that this was great for Sweetie Belle that she had finally gotten her Cutie Mark but he didn't really understand what it actually meant.

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes and explained, "It means, that my special talent is singing about love!"

Spike laughed and thought of the irony. She got her Cutie Mark about love on her first date she had ever been on.

The rest of the walk home Sweetie Belle went on and on about her Cutie Mark but Spike didn't mind. He understood that Sweetie Belle was excited about something that she had been working for a while now and he didn't want to take that away from her.

When the finally reached the shop Spike said goodbye to Sweetie and turned to leave but Sweetie stopped him. Without another word Sweetie gave him a kiss right on the lips and she walked into her house.

Spike was left stunned and paralyzed. Spike looked at Sweetie Belle as she walked inside and he started to walk away as well. He took a double take over his shoulder just to confirm that really just happened.

Spike walked back to the library more confused than ever. When he got back he opened the door and walked upstairs to find Twilight sitting on a couch, waiting for him.

"So how did it go?" Twilight asked getting up from the couch.

Spike stood and stared at his purple friend trying to sum up his date in a matter of words. He finally said, "Amazing."

Twilight slapped her hoof to her face and dropped back down onto the couch, "What are you going to do Spike?"

Spike thought about it. He really had a lot of fun on both dates with Scootaloo and Sweetie so how was he expected to choose. Scootaloo was a lot like Spike, they both loved to rock out to music and hang out. On the other hand Sweetie Belle was understanding and kind to everypony, plus it's not every day that you help another pony earn her cutie mark.

"Spike! What are you going to do?" Twilight asked more demanding this time.

"I guess I'll have to choose one Twi," Spike said stating the obvious, "But I don't know which one to choose. I guess I have to sleep on it."

Twilight wasn't pleased by Spike's decision but she knew it was his decision to make and not hers so she let it go.

Spike went to sleep that night with one of the toughest decisions he has ever made and there was no way Spike could ever be prepared for what was going to happen next.

The next morning her woke up and he had so many conflicting emotions he honestly didn't know how he should act, how he should feel, or even what he was going to say. He didn't know if he should feel angry, happy, sad, optimistic, or frustrated. Spike had made his decision early in the morning and he was ready to take on whatever was thrown at him.

He walked out and headed in the direction of the pony's house. He wasn't sure how she was going to react but he knew it wasn't going to be fun for anypony.

He walked up to the filly's house and waited in front of the door preparing what he was going to say. He had been preparing for this all morning and he was not going to screw this up.

The filly Spike was going to break up with was Scootaloo. He knocked on the door and waited for what seemed like an eternity for someone to answer. Scootaloo opened the door and greeted him.

"Scootaloo I'm sorry but I can't go on another date with you," Spike said half-heartedly.

Scootaloo's looked at Spike with a confused look, "What are you talking about Spike?"

"I can't go on another date with you. I think you are totally awesome but I can't sacrifice our friendship." Spike repeated.

"But Spike, we have never been on a date." Scootaloo responded.

"Yes we have! It was like two days ago!" Spike yelled angrily. Now Spike was the one confused.

Scootaloo laughed. She wasn't mocking him she was just laughing off the situation which Spike didn't understand at all. She finally spoke, "What the concert? That wasn't a date! That was just two friends hanging out!"

"But you said when you invited me, 'It's a date then.'" Spike recalled.

"You misunderstood me Spike. I just said that to say we were both going to be there. I didn't mean anything more!"

"But when I was talking to Apple Bloom she said that you had a date that night."

"She said that? She must have misunderstood too. I said I was going out to the concert with somepony that night. I never said it was a date or anything." Scootaloo further explained.

"But why did you bring me then?" Spike finally asked.

"I thought I already told you. Sweetie Belle hates concerts and everytime I go to a concert with Apple Bloom she always complains about everything and I end up regretting it because then I have to go to a country concert with her." Scootaloo explained.

"Oh okay." Spike said. Inside his head he was cheering as loud as he could but he made sure to keep quiet to avoid any suspicion. He said goodbye to Scootaloo and walked away in no particular direction.

It was the best possible scenario for Spike and he was lucky nothing blew up in his face like things always seemed to do. Either way Spike had a girlfriend! He had also somehow not ruined any of their friendships in the process of all that had happened in the last two days.

Spike was happy with the way things turned out and now things between Spike and Sweetie Belle would be better than ever. Spike was ready for anything life could throw at him and hopeful he and Sweetie's relationship would last a long time.
