First! Top three comments!
3: Justus80. Oh, something tells me that you're getting your answer by the end of this episode.
2: VintageThunder98. Rainbow Dash is one of my favorite characters too. To me it's tied with five characters total.
1: EpicPie1. Glad to see you like my character! I didn't really know that he would become a favorite to anyone else! And also, Pinkie and Blitz? Wow, I thought that no one would even like that idea.
Pinkie: Yeah, I thought that was a little over the top too. *She's sitting off to the side off-screen, eating some popcorn*
Me: But-how did-your... WHY?!
Pinkie: No pony can stop Pinkamena Diane Pie! *She jumped up in excitement as she pours the rest of her popcorn into her mouth in one go*
Me: Err... Aha! Well, you all go ahead and enjoy the chapter. As for me, I have a pink menace to take care of. *starts to crack knuckles. Then goes off-screen to where Pinkie is. After multiple crashing noises, along with a screeching cat noise, I fly back into view, looking exhausted and defeated* Ow... Just start-up the chapter...

Spike's POV
As we kept walking towards Sweet Apple Acres, I couldn't help but frown at Twilight's huge grin. She was so happy for Blitz and Pinkie being a couple. And no matter what I try to say to convince her, there's Pinkie Pie or some pony else watching me because I Pinkie Promised.
So now I just had to agree with whatever she thought. Which was just going to get more and more confusing.
"Oh, there she is." Twilight noted as we saw Applejack over by an empty spot near the barn.
When I started to walk over to Applejack, Twilight pulled me, aside and brought us both behind a bush. "What's wrong?"
"Shh. Look." Twilight told me quietly, pointing towards where Applejack is.
I looked over and saw that the empty spot wasn't that empty. A few feet away from Applejack was what looked like some kind of tower being built by a yellow streak of light that was spinning around it really fast. I took a wild guess and assumed it was Blitz.
"So Blitz is building something for Applejack. It's Friend's Day, what's wrong with that?" I asked.
"That's not what I'm referring to Spike. What I'm saying is that if Blitz is here then maybe he's also going to tell Applejack about him and Pinkie Pie." Twilight told me.
I sighed at her. "Twilight for the last time, Blitz and Pinkie were both at Sugarcube Corner because-" Before I could explain it to her, an apple fell on my head. I looked up and saw Pinkie Pie sitting on the branch above me in a crow costume.
She made a realistic 'Caw!' sound and flapped her fake wings, flying off. My jaw dropped at the sight of that, leaving me speechless.
But before I could finish talking Twilight out of her idea, she looked back at the two of them. I gave up again and turned back towards Applejack and Blitz.
Blitz had finally finished working on the tower and stopped flying around it. As he tried to fly over to Applejack, he got too dizzy and ended up crashing into her. "Sorry about that Applejack." Blitz said as he slowly got up off her.
He then helped her up. "It's alright Blitz. Besides, ya just finished buildin a whole silo!" Applejack said, admiring the silo in front of her.
"Yeah. Luckily it wasn't that hard to build. Still, I hope the mayor doesn't ask me to build any clock towers or anything." They laughed a little at that. "Besides, I'm kind of in a hurry so I had to be quick about building it."
"Ya have to leave already? Sure ya don't wanna come in fer a quick bite to eat or somethin?" Applejack asked him, trying to be polite.
"Nah, I can't. Wish I could though it smells great." Blitz complimented.
"Oh... Well alrighty than. Guess you can have some later then. Yer still comin to that hill later right?" Applejack asked him.
"Wouldn't miss it." Blitz said shaking his head. He then started to fly off. "See ya then." He said as he flew off.
"Guess he didn't say 'the news' to Applejack." I said, looking back at Twilight, who kept looking at them. "Come on, let's go talk to her." I said to her, as I started walking out of the bush.
But she pulled me right back in a few seconds later. "Are you crazy Spike?!" She whisper-yelled to me. "We can't talk to Applejack now! If we did then she'd hear the bad news!"
"What are you talking about?" I asked her, really confused by the sudden change of heart.
"Don't you get it?!" She asked me, shaking me a little to make me see whatever she was trying to see. "Blitz isn't dating just Pinkie Pie! He's dating Pinkie and Applejack at the same time!"
Okay, now she was going to far with this. First she thinks that Blitz is dating Pinkie Pie. Now she thinks he's dating Pinkie AND Applejack?! "Twilight, there is no wa-" She interupted me before I could deny it.
"No Spike. Didn't you just hear what they said? There going on a date later on a hill!" She told me what they just said.
That wasn't it at all. There wasn't going to be any date on a hill. That's where Rainbow Dash's surprise was going to be, and that's where all of us were going to meet up.
"Come on, were getting to the bottom of this right now Spike. Let's see just where Blitz is going this time." Twilight said to me as she started to go after Blitz, forgetting all about Applejack and the gifts. I sighed and got the wagon, going after Twilight since I had no real choice but to follow her.
After going after Blitz, we eventually ended up in front of Fluttershy's Cottage. "What's Blitz up to now?" Twilight asked no pony in particular.
"Maybe doing something that makes sense..." I mumbled. "Twilight, why would Blitz do any of this to Applejack?" I asked her.
But Twilight just ignored my question as she made a pair of binoculars appear out of nowhere. She then used them to look closely at Fluttershy's window, trying to see something.
"Twilight, what are you doing?" I asked. Was she really spying on them now?!
"Blitz is up to something Spike, and were going to get to the bottom of it. First, we need to see just why he's at Fluttershy's house." She explained to me.
"Maybe to say happy Friend's Day?" I asked rhetorically. This was starting to get ridiculous, but Twilight thought that her theory was right.
"Sush! Their about to say something." Twilight said to me as she tried to listen in as well.
"Thanks for helping me to feed all of my animals Blitz." Fluttershy said to Blitz happily.
"Don't mention it. Besides, it's the least I can do on Friend's Day." Blitz responded. He then saw two mice having an argument. "Okay, what's this all about?" He asked.
After some chattering from the mice, Blitz shook his head at them. "Well if you only have one piece of cheese, just ask for another." He said to them.
Guess since he was a mouse, he can understand him now. Wish I could understand animals. I thought to myself as I watched him.
He then went off somewhere else and came back with another piece of cheese. "There. Anything else you two need?" He asked.
They both shook their heads with a smile and ran into a mouse-hole, stopping their argument.
"Wow Blitz. You're really good with animals." Fluttershy told him.
"Not really. I was only able to help because I can speak mouse." He then saw a duck and a cat arguing for some reason. "Yeah... I can't help with that." He admitted.
"Oh dear... Mr. Quack? Ms. Clawferd? Could you please both calm down?... If that's okay..." Fluttershy asked.
As we watched, I turned back to Twilight. "See? Nothing's going on. Now let's just go before they see us spying on them." I tried to convince her to go.
"Not yet. Blitz is here for some reason, and were going to figure it out." Twilight told me. She then turned her attention back to Fluttershy and Blitz.
"So, do you think your still going to be able to make it to the hill later?" Blitz asked her.
"Oh, yes. I'll go over there after I finish feeding the rest of my animals. This is a really of you to do Blitz." Fluttershy told Blitz.
"Hey, it's Friend's Day. It's the least I can do. Besides, I didn't plan it all myself. I did have some help." He said, smiling at her.
"It was your idea though. Besides, I wasn't that helpful." She said, frowning a little.
"Ah come on. It couldn't have been finished without your help." Blitz said as he walked to the door. "I gotta go. I saw Twilight and Spike earlier, so that means I have to hurry up. See you later Fluttershy." Blitz said as he started to leave.
Twilight then ducked down, pulling me down as well. "This is even worse!" She whispered to me. "Now Fluttershy's added into the mix too!"
Okay, Twilight's officially gone off the deep end about this. "What?! You just heard Blitz. If he's taking Fluttershy to the same hill he's taking Applejack to, then that means that he can't be dating both of them, and Pinkie!" I tried to reason.
"Hm... That is kind of confusing. If Blitz is dating all three of them, then why would he take two of them to the same place?" Twilight asked herself, thinking about what I just said.
That's when we heard some chattering coming from next to us. We both turned and saw a weasel looking at us. "Let's talk somewhere else. I need to think this over." Twilight told me.
After Blitz flew off back towards Ponyville, Twilight levitated me onto her back and headed back to Ponyville herself, with the wagon in tow. Were we ever going to get to the actual celebrating part of Friend's Day?
After a walk to Ponyville, she brought us to a table around town square. Every pony was talking with some pony else, enjoying Friend's Day and passing out gifts.
"So this is what we know so far." Twilight started. "Blitz is dating Pinkie, Applejack, and Fluttershy behind each of their backs." She reviewed, writing down something on her notes.
"OR," I started. "You could be blowing this completely out of proportion and are over-reacting." I tried to tell her.
"Okay Spike." She began. "If you think that's the case, then tell me what you think all this is about." Twilight told me.
I could already feel Pinkie's presence somewhere. And in some way I knew she was watching me, ready to stop me from spoiling the surprise. "I... I can't say." I told her.
"Exactly. You can't because there's no other explanation." She mis-understood me, but I couldn't correct her on it. "Now why would Blitz bring two of them to one place at the same time?" She asked herself.
"Oh! Maybe he plans on dating them both at the same time!" I said with obvious sarcasm. Twilight was looking to much into this.
"Wait that's it! Spike, your right!" She said to me with a huge smile.
"Wait, what?" I asked, obviously confused by this.
"Blitz is clever and crafty right? So he probably figured out a way to date both of them at once! Actually, maybe he plans on dating all three of them at once!" She jumped even further into crazy town. And not the kind of fun and friendly crazy town as Pinkie either.
"Twilight, why would he even do that?!" I asked her. Blitz wasn't anything like that by what we knew. He's never even tricked others like this before.
"Maybe he doesn't really know it's wrong... Maybe... Maybe in his world, humans date multiple others at once!" She tried to deduce.
That... That, actually didn't seem to crazy. Blitz said his world did stuff differently. That, and that his world wasn't as simple and friendly as ours. Now I could see why Twilight would think all of this. But still, Blitz doesn't seem like the type of pony who would do any of this.
"Twilight, there's still a lot of things wrong with that." I tried to talk her out of it still.
"Okay fine. Then I'll prove it to you. We'll go to that hill and you'll see for yourself." Twilight told me.
"Okay, if you say so Twilight." I agreed, not convinced. I was on the fence about the whole thing though. Yeah, they were talking about Rainbow Dash's surprise, but they were acting wierd now that I think about it. "But can we at least stop by Rarity's first? I still wan to give her my gift." I told her.
Twilight sighed and nodded. "Okay, we'll go there first. It is on the way after all." Twilight agreed.
Finally, I was going to show my feelings to Rarity. And nothing's going to stop this dragon! I psyched myself up in my mind again, getting ready to get Rarity to notice me. Even Twilight's crazy plan being put to work wasn't going to stop me now.
"Yes!" I said out loud. I hopped on Twilight's back once again, grabbing Rarity's present from the wagon behind us.
Twilight shook her head and chuckled at my actions, but I wasn't really paying attention as I was imagining Rarity in my mind. She started going walking, leaving me to think to myself.
When we finally got to Carousel Boutique, we saw Rarity inside. Finally I'm going to do it! Nothing is going to stop me now!
As I kept saying that again and again in my head, I jumped off of Twilight's back, my present to Rarity in claw. It's now or never Spike!
I went up to the window and saw her, gazing in pure happiness at a small pedestal that had one of her mannequins on it. It looked different somehow. It was different than any kind of pedestal I had ever seen.
It had small mirrors all around it with near invisible wires connecting them all. In front of the pedestal was a small crank where some pony could turn it and all the mirrors would move around. Rarity did so, having a dress on the mannequin that had a bunch of delicious gems all over it. When Rarity moved all the mirrors around, pulling the crank with her magic, the light from the window behind her reflected off of some of them.
Then, the light bounced off of the last mirror, shinning on the dress. That caused all the gems to shine, making the dress look even more beautiful. I stood in awe at the window, admiring it all.
"Oh Blitz, this is simply marvelous!" Rarity remarked, happy as ever.
"Glad you like it Rarity." Blitz said, coming into my view. What was he doing here.
"No, I don't like it! I love it!" Rarity corrected. She then smiled at Blitz and gave him a kiss on the cheek as appreciation. Blitz chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed by the gesture.
I mean while, just stared in disbelief. "W...what?..." I asked no pony in particular.
"Spike..." Twilight started, patting me on the shoulder.
Twilight was right. I thought this was all just Blitz planning Rainbow Dash's surprise with every pony else. "You were right... He is dating all of them..." I admitted.
"Sorry Spike." Twilight apologized. For what? Being right.
I didn't care at this point. Blitz needed to be corrected. And that's just what I planned on doing. "Whatever. Let's just get to that hill so we can set everything right!" I said to Twilight, ready to get back at Blitz. He messed with the wrong dragon and his friends! He needed to be stopped.
"Alright Spike. Let's go." Twilight said, going along with it. She knew just how much this all meant to me. We both then started to run to the hill, ready to meet Blitz there and stop him for good.
Blitz's POV
"So, ready to go meet every pony else at the hill?" I asked Rarity after getting my act back together. I mean, I knew she would like the pedestal, but really? A kiss on the cheek was going a little over the top about it. Thank Celestia Spike didn't see that. He would probably blow this all out of proportion.
After Rarity moved the curtain around the pedestal, she turned to me. "Yes. I can't wait to give them all their lovely gifts." Rarity said, levitating a small cart over. She then hooked it up to me without my say.
"Hey wait a minute-" I started to object, but Rarity stopped me with a smile.
"Oh come now, is it really going to be that hard to carry some of our friend's dresses?" She asked me. Somehow I knew that's what the gifts were.
"Well if it's not really that hard, then why don't you carry them?" I asked. I knew it was the polite thing to do, but I at least wanted her to give me a good reason.
"Because if you don't then I'm afraid that the fast of the whole surprise for Rainbow Dash being your idea might just slip out from my tongue." Darn she was good.
I stopped after that, not wanting to dig myself deeper. She literally just blackmailed me 'politely'. And here I thought that I was the only one that had the know how to weasel my way through conversations.
As I sighed in defeat, I could've sworn I heard Rarity snicker really quietly and mutter something under her breath even quieter.
"What was that?" I asked. With the way Rarity thought, I couldn't even try to guess what she had said.
"Oh nothing. Now let's hurry and meet our friends. Wouldn't want to keep them waiting would we?" Rarity asked me rhetorically. As she made her way to the door, I followed. I knew she changed the subject on purpose, but I didn't question it any further. Not with the fact that she could still do more 'polite blackmail' and end up having to carry her... Wait, unicorn's can't read minds can they?
As I kept thinking this, we got out the door only to see something familiar. "Hello, and whose wagon of gifts do these belong to?" Rarity asked to no pony in particular.
I recognized it right away. "Oh, that's Twilight's and Spike's wagon. I saw it earlier when I was at Pinkie's today." I told Rarity.
"Hm... Well we can't simply leave their wagon here can we? Hold on, I'll attach it to the cart." I sighed, knowing I'd have to carry even more stuff. It didn't look that heavy, but it looked like they never even passed out any more gifts after they passed out mine and Pinkie's.
"Oh now really, what's another wagon going to matter to you? Besides, I bet your already pretty strong from carrying around such heavy material and on top of that, working as a Ponyville construction worker." She tried to flatter me to get me to openly accept carrying all this stuff.
"Your not getting me to change my mind about carrying all this stuff just by buttering me up Rarity." I told her up front.
She sighed and made an agreement. "Alright fine. These two gifts look like mine, so I shall carry them. Deal?" It was barely any weight off of it all really, but I could barely tell that it was about five pounds of whatever was in there. Why couldn't she carry at least one of these wagons?
'Wow, two boxes. That's a big help." I remarked sarcastically.
"What? Would you rather carry me up to the hill as well?" She asked me.
Crap, they can read minds! "No, two boxes is perfect! Thanks for the help!" I quickly changed my mind. The wagon and cart were both a decent weight together. All added up probably fifty pounds. Thank goodness that they're six wheels total to help me out.
"Hmph, as I thought. Now come Blitz, let's hurry." Rarity said with a little more satisfaction in her voice. I can't believe I have to carry all of this while Rarity carries a measly two boxes. What ever happened to equal treatment anyway?
I followed with my head slightly down, with the cart and wagon both in tow. At least the giant amount of stuff I was carrying made me look tough. And to keep ponies from messing with me, I put in my signature toothpick. It made me look a little more tougher... At least to me it did.
Well, this has taken a turn for the worst hasn't it? By the way, ever wonder why I always tend to ask a question at the end of a chapter? If yes, then so do I. If 'No, I don't even read the dumb thing', then I can see why, my outros suck big time. If any of you have a outro idea for me, I'd love to hear it. Anyway, see you all next and final chapter!
QotC: If you were sucked into Equestria than which, if any, of the mane six would you probably end up with? Or in any case, what character out of the whole series, if any, would you probably end up with?
