Ch.10: If Spike Never Knew Rarity

Meanwhile, outside of the cave in which Discord is holding Celestia prisoner, Spike and the other teenage dragons were outside celebrating Spike's rejoining the gang. They had brought with them a whole lot of gems to chow on and rocking it out with a bit of tail-wrestling and fire-belching, thinking it will be great entertainment for their Rookie Dragon.

Dai turned and noticed that Spike was sitting on a boulder nearby, looking up at the sky and looking a little grayer and taller than last time with the bumps on his back becoming bigger and looking like they're becoming wings. The white dragon started to worry; his Dragonheart Broken is getting worse. He then went up to the younger dragon's side.

"Hey," he said, "you okay there, mate?" The frown on Spike's face didn't leave.

"Fine." Dai could tell by the slight hesitation that Spike isn't fine. He then handed Spike a handful of small gems.

"Gem?" Spike then turned to them.

"There aren't any white diamond-shaped diamonds in there, are they?" he asked. The white dragon gave him a confused blink.

"I, uh, don't think so. Why? Don't like how they taste?"

"No," Spike answered, taking a couple and nibbling on one. "They remind of…her."

"That Sheila Pony Discord mentioned? What did do to you?"

"I fell in love with her and came close to telling her my feelings," Spike answered a little angrily. "And Discord showed me that…she doesn't love me back…because I'm too young for her." Dai saw that tears are starting to flow from Spike's green eyes as his scales became grayer. He then became taller that he's almost the same size as the Ponies, and the bumps are becoming more like wings by the minute. His Dragonheart Broken is getting worse.

"Whoa, mate!" Dai then cried. "I'm sure she didn't really mean it! And even if she did, you shouldn't give up."

"You don't understand!" Spike sobbed, jumping off of the boulder. "Rarity, she…she's a wonderful filly…I…I wanna die now than…not knowing about her for a whole century." He then looked up at the skies, seeing one of the clouds taking the shape of a Unicorn with a mane and tail like Rarity's.

Spike: If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

And if I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I'd find in you

The missing part of me

Dai watched as his new friend sung his song for the girl he lost. He can see it in his eyes that he still loves this Rarity, despite her not loving him back. That's the thing about broken hearts; they couldn't stop loving no matter what.

Spike: In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes

So dry your eyes

From hearing him mention truth and lies, Dai then recalled something. Spike said that Discord showed him that Rarity doesn't love him. Is it possible that…he lied to get him back into the gang?

Spike: And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

Back at Ponyville, Rarity sat outside of the library, looking up at the sky with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe her little Spikey-Wikey would run away like that. Why did have to go and do that? She felt like a part of her has vanished, and it has…Spike.

She smiled sadly as a cloud in the sky took the shape of Spike smiling and waving down at her. Oh, if only she told him that she liked him back sooner. Not as a friend but…as a true love.

Rarity: If I never knew you

I'd be safe but half as real

Never knowing I could feel

A love so strong and true

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

"Rarity!" The Unicorn turned to see Rainbow Dash and Lionwing rush out of the library and over to her.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Did we find Spike?"

"We think so," Lionwing answered. "Owlicious has returned and is flying around as if he wants us to follow him to Spike." Rarity quickly leapt to her hooves.

"Then what are we waiting for?" she demanded. "Let's get our Spikey-Wikey back!" And they all dashed off after Owlicious; the Mane Six and their boyfriends: Marvin X-2; Peter le Pew; Lionwing; Pyrus; and Big Mac. Rarity can only pray that Spike is alright. She'd be unhappy the rest of her life if she had never met and befriended the dragon she would soon have feelings for.

Spike: I thought our love would be so beautiful

Rarity: Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

Both: I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night

But still my heart is saying we were right

Back with Spike, he has soon become completely gray, and his bumps are now fully wings. They look just like Garble's but without the tears and holes. Dai could only hope that Garble would get back soon before Spike reaches the final stage of Dragonheart Broken.

Rarity: Oh, If I never knew you

Spike: There's no moment I regret

Rarity: If I never felt this love

Spike: Since the moment that we met

Rarity: I would have no inkling of

Spike: If our time has gone too fast

Rarity: How precious life can be…Ohh…

Spike: I've lived at last…Yeah, yeah…

Back with our heroes, they're following Owlicious as fast as they could, Rarity seemingly gaining the lead. She really wants to see her beloved Spike and make sure that he is. If he's alright, then she's going to tackle him to the ground and kiss him right on the mouth in front of everypony.

Both: I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

Rarity: I thought our love would be so beautiful

We'd turn the darkness into light

Both: But still my heart is saying we were right

Spike: We were right

Although they do not know it, the two separated lovers were shedding tears simultaneously, thinking about the one they had lost. Now only Rarity finding Spike and confessing her feelings will bring them back together and keep it that way.

Spike: And if I never knew you

Rarity: If I never knew you

Spike: I'd have lived my whole life through

Rarity: Empty as the sky

Both: Never knowing why

Lost forever

If I never knew you

Rarity, Spike thought to himself, I'm sorry that I had to leave you…and I'm sorry that I couldn't let go of my love for you. All I ask now…is that you find happiness with another guy old enough for you. He then turned around and headed back with an empathic Dai to join the gang.

Don't you worry, Spike, Rarity thought to herself as she spotted the river up ahead. Rarity's coming!
