Chapter 4: Who's That?

It was a bright sunny day outside but inside the boutique it was dark because the curtains were still closed for Rarity was still asleep. She woke up when she tried to roll over but fell of the bed and landed straight onto the ground.

"Oooooffttt, my head!" Groaned Rarity

She sat up clutching the side of her head and then went to fetch an ice pack. She walked back into her room and sat down at her vanity and looked at her head in the mirror it didn't seem as if a bruise was forming so she put the ice pack away. She was so grateful that it was Saturday because she just wasn't up for another day of school, not after all the commotion, all she needed was a little time to herself.

"Okay Rarity today is a day to treat yourself and do whatever you want,"She said to herself

"You obviously deserve it... After all you've been through."

She smiled at herself.

"Ok now for some breakfast... How about I have a cup of green tea and some berries and yoghurt?"

She went to the kitchen and made her breakfast carefully putting the right amount of yoghurt into the bowl an artistically placing the berries, it made her feel as if she had her life together. She began to eat.

"Oooh that was delicious! You are a genius Rarity!" She chuckled, once she had finished.

She went back to her room and picked out an outfit to wear, it was a silky white dress with a pink satin ribbon around her waist that was tied into a bow at her back. On the side of the dress there was 3 diamonds just like her cutie mark. She then went and sat at her vanity and brushed out her hair she also gave it a few extra curls and some hair also did her makeup, first she did her eyes (mascara,eyeliner,blue eyeshadow and false lashes) then some blusher and for her lips just some clear gloss. Finally she sprayed her favourite sent in the air and walked through it.

"There you're all done and looking as gorgeous as ever!" She said to herself while twisting her hair around her fingers. Suddenly there was a knock on her door.

"Coming!" She shouted.

"Ok Spike breathe... Breathe..." Spike said to himself

He stood up straight

"It's only Rarity, plus your not a kid anymore, your a man now! That potion really did its job."

He took a deep breath and knocked.

"Coming!" Shouted Rarity from inside.

He cleared his throat and prayed that he didn't embarrass himself.

Rarity opened the door and was stunned by what she saw. A tall handsome man with a very strong build. His hair was bright green and he had fangs. He wore a purple shirt with a green jumper over it and brown trousers and shoes. She looked closer because he seemed familiar, then she saw a pair of green and purple wings. Her heart suddenly began to flutter and she filled with life again.

"Umm...well hello there." Said Rarity trying to act casual.

She stood up a little straighter and stared at him.

"Umm... Hi." Said Spike nervously.

The both scratched they're necks at the same time and beads of sweat dripped down both of their foreheads.

"Umm... Are you new here I don't think I've noticed you before?" Said Rarity

Rarity looked down she felt shyer than Fluttershy, for once she was lost for words.

There was a long pause of silence.

"Umm... Well I'm not new, not exactly." Spike was looking down too.

He shuffled is foot a little and put his hands in his pockets.

"You seemed familiar... Why don't you come inside and have some tea?"

Rarity opened up the door for him so He could enter. He had to crouch under the door frame to avoid hitting his head but inside the roof was much higher he walked in and stood up straight.

"Sorry the boutique's been a bit of a mess at the moment. So who are you then, tell me about yourself?"

They both began to gain confidence and started to talk properly.

"Well you already know me you just haven't recognised..." Said Spike as he smiled.

Rarity stared hard at him she was blank for a few seconds and then she looked puzzled. Spike's face sunk and he looked down, suddenly she noticed how familiar all his features and all his colours where and then hit her.

"Oh Spike!" She shouted as she flung her arms around him and gave him a big hug.

Spike gulped and tensed he was startled by the passionate hug Rarity gave him. He didn't hug her back because he didn't know where to put his hands. Rarity then realised what she had just done and backed away.

"Oh sorry about that," Rarity Blushed.

"Why don't you come sit down!" She added while pulling out a chair and sitting on it.

Spike thought Rarity looked breathtaking every time she blushed like that. He pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, Rarity stood up, went to the kitchen and began making some tea.

"Oh no you don't have to!" Said Spike.

"No no, it would be my pleasure." She smiled at him her eyes glowing.

She turned around again and continued making the tea.

"So Spike... I was wondering how are you so... Grown up now?" She questioned.

She gave spike his tea and sat down at the opposite side of the table. She leaned forward, clearly interested in him.

"Well I kinda overheard you talking to yourself and saying that you'll be forever alone and stuff -"

"Oh my goodness! Did you... Im sorry if I frightened you!" She blushed and felt really awkward.

Spike continued.

"So I went back to twilight's and got her to age me! Whad'ya think!"

She leaned forward and gently held his shoulder.

"Oh Spike I think you're wonderful both ways! It's so nice of you to give away your childhood just for me! How old are you now?"

She took her hand of his shoulder. Spike took a sip of his tea, although he didn't like it very much, he was trying to act mature.

"I'm 17." Replied Spike rather proudly.

Rarity Chuckled

"I'm so glad we can be together now..." She said unknowingly.

Rarity stared right into spikes eyes and Spike stared back.

"You want us to be together?" Asked spike still staring.

Rarity stood up realising what she just said.

"Emm... Well... Yes, but only time will tell if we're compatible plus I don't want to thrust myself into this again... Not just yet." She said hastily.

All her relationships were affecting her, she had some pretty bad trust issues.

"Hey, it's ok. If you don't want to be in a relationship just yet, I get it." Said Spike.

Secretly Spike was a little miffed at this but he had to account Rarity's feelings.

"Oh thank you for understanding!" She smiled at him.

Rarity then got the cups and began to wash them at the sink and Spike stood up too.

"Oh no I'll wash those for you." He insisted

He took the cups from her hands.

"Oh your such a gentleman!" She laughed and then she stared at him.

She began to think to herself, should she give this relationship a go. Should sh-

Then the doorbell rang.

"Oh thanks for your help Spike, you should probably be going now... Right?"

Rarity didn't want Spike to leave but he had to so she could work.

"Oh yeh I probably should." Spike sighed as he was about to walk out.

"Spike wait," said Rarity

He turned around.

"How about you come here after school on Monday?" She asked

"Yeah, why not?" He smiled and walked out.

Rarity then went and checked the door it was a client wanting a new dress for an upcoming wedding.

Spike was on his way home because Rarity had to deal with the client. He couldn't help thinking about Rarity how she was at war with herself, how she was feeling and he couldn't help but feeling bad.

"I need her to trust me, hopefully soon she will." Spike thought to himself.

He was excited to go to her's again on Monday but he was worried because Rarity had trust issues and he didn't want to take it so fast. He decided to smile and go with the flow, that ageing spell was the best thing that could ever happen to him.
