Chapter 5: Fluttershy's Picnic

Fluttershy had organised a picnic for all her friends, mainly because she was worried about Rarity. No one had heard a word from her since the fight at school on Friday (Except Spike). Fluttershy packed some sandwiches and lemonade, Applejack was bringing an apple pie and Pinkie Pie was bringing some cupcakes from sugar-cube corner. Everyone was already at the picnic except for Rarity and Twilight.

"Where do ya think they could be?" Asked Applejack.

"I don't know." Said Fluttershy sadly.

"I doubt Rarity would even show up!" Said Rainbow Dash a little rudely.

"Dashie I don't think that's very kind." Fluttershy said quietly not wanting to argue.

"Don't call me Dashie!" Snapped Rainbow Dash.

"Oh sorry..." Said Fluttershy her head bowed low.

Rainbow Dash put her hand on Fluttershy's shoulder.

"It's ok no big deal." Said Rainbow

Pinkie Pie jumped up.

"Hey guys look it's Twilight and... Who's that!?" Shouted Pinkie Pie

She began to jump about.

"OMG OMG, YAAAYY! A new person I haven't met yet!" Screamed Pinkie

"What in the hay are y'all talkin' 'bout?" Asked Applejack

Pinkie pointed in Twilight's direction.

"Who's that?" Said Fluttershy sounding confused.

"Uhhhh... I think it's..." Said Rainbow Dash while scratching her neck.

Pinkie threw her hands up.

"OOOHH... I KNOW I KNOW, ITS SPIKE!" Shouted Pinkie.

Rainbow Dash stood up and folded her arms.

"Don't be stupid!" Said Rainbow Dash.

Applejack then stood up as well.

"Now wait just there one second... Ah think she's on ta somethin'." Suggested AJ

"It is Spike!" Gasped Fluttershy, she put stress on the word is.

"Hey girls!" Waved Twilight as she approached them.

"Hey Twilight..." Said all the girls slowly but none of them were focusing on her, they were all staring at who they thought to be Spike. Spiked noticed and gulped, he nudged Twilight as if to say introduce me.

"Oh um... I forgot to tell you this is the new Spike." Said Twilight nervously.

AJ, Dashie, Pinkie and Fluttershy all looked at each other then looked back at Twilight.

"The new Spike?" Said Rainbow and she raised her eyebrows.

Her arms were still folded.

"Um well... Spike wanted me to age him." Answered Twilight while fidgeting.

"And why in Equestria would he want that?" Asked AJ her arms were folded too.

"Hello ladies, I'm very sorry to be late. It just took so long to get ready!"

All the girls turned their heads, it was Rarity who was apologising because she was nearly an hour late. She was dressed up in a lovely light pink sundress, a sun hat with a pink ribbon tied around it, some sunglasses, a handbag and some pink strappy sandals. Rarity suddenly noticed Spike and instantly starting talking to him. They both sat down on the picnic mat and talked away, everyone was staring at the two but they didn't notice.

"That's why." Giggled Twilight answering Applejack's question.

"Ooohhhh!" Said Pinkie Pie bursting with excitement.

"Well let's eat!" Said Fluttershy.

"YAAAAAYY!" Shouted Pinkie Pie.

Twilight turned and looked at the two.

"Rarity would you like anything to eat?" Asked Twilight.

"Oh um, just a slice of pie please." Said Rarity whose gaze was still fixed on Spike.

"And what about you Spike?" Asked Twilight once again.

"The same as Rarity..." Said Spike.

The rest of the friends continued to chatter and eat for hours. It was nearly 4 o clock when they stopped.

"Spike come on let's go." Said Twilight.

"Coming!" Answered Spike

Spike stood up, so did Rarity.

"I guess you have to go now." Said Rarity sadly.

She looked down.

"Yeah." Sighed Spike

He scratched the back of his neck. Rarity looked up at him hopefully.

"Why don't you come and help me at the boutique?" She asked.

He smiled.

"Are you sure you need help?" Asked spike.

"Definitely, don't you remember the client that wanted me to make her wedding dress?" Said Rarity.

"Oh yes her. Well about about it?" Questioned spike.

She put her hands on her hips.

"Oh Spike, don't you get it. I have to add the finishing touches!" Giggled Rarity.

Spike put his hand on his neck.

"Oh yeah, well I need to ask Twilight first."

"Okay go on then." Smiled Rarity.

Spiked walked over to Twilight who was thanking Fluttershy for organising the picnic.

"Hey Twilight, Rarity asked me to help her at the boutique." Told Spike

Twilight turned around.

"Oh you go ahead, remember you are older than you were before, you don't need to ask." Said Twilight, she then smiled at him.

Spike smiled back.

"Oh yeah, I'm still used to you bossing me around!" Chuckled Spike.

He began to walk away.

"Spike... one thing, don't stay out to late I get worried." Twilight added.

He turned around.

"Sure Twilight." Answered spike.

"So what did she say?" Asked Rarity Eagerly.

She was practically jumping around.

"She said yes, as long as I'm not too late home!" Answered spike with glee.

"Oh yayyyyyyy!" Shrieked Rarity.

She flung her arms around him again and this time Spike hugged back.

They stopped hugging Rarity looked up at him.

"Let's go!" Shouted Rarity.

She grabbed Spikes hand and pulled him away back to the boutique.

Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Twilight all watched this happening and Twilight and Pinkie both filled with happiness for they saw a new side to they're friend that they had never seen before. It was more of a childish side, a happier side, one no one else could bring out in her except Spike.

"Aww they're soo cute together!" Said Twilight.

"Yeah I know right so adorable!" Screamed Pinkie while jumping around.

The others said nothing.

"Well time to go home... Bye!" Shouted Twilight.

"Bye!" They all shouted back

Authors Note: I know I said in this chapter that they'd be going on an accidental date and stuff but I decided to add this in because I think it improves the overall story... If you know what I mean ;) Anyway to make it up I made the date night extra exciting by adding extra detail so now it's longer and better! I will upload that chapter tomorrow.
