Chapter 8: First Day of School

Rarity was asleep dreaming about the story of rapunzel but she was the damsel and Spike was the prince.

"Rarity, Rarity... Let down your hair!" Shouted Prince Spike

"Oh my prince has arrived!" She sighed dramatically.

Suddenly her prince started meowing and Rarity slowly opened her eyes. She was now awake and she found Opal, her cat, on top of her meowing in her face. Rarity sat up and moved Opal to the side, she rubbed her eyes and then gave a big yawn.

"Oh Opal you just had to wake me up didn't you? I was having the most wonderful dream." Rarity Sighed.

Opal pointed at the clock on the wall and starting meowing.

"Oh your too right my darling I would've been late if you didn't wake me up!" She Replied.

Opal held her head up proudly and Rarity went and filled her food bowls, one with water and one with cat food. Opal ran over and began to eat with relish. Meanwhile Rarity began her morning routine she had a shower, made breakfast, brushed her teeth, changed clothes, did her make up and her hair, this all was not as easy as it sounds and it was especially harder today for Rarity had only had 3 hours of sleep because she woke up at 7:00am. Meanwhile at Twilight's house everything was totally different.

"SPIKE WAKE UP!" Shouted twilight.

Spike rolled over, he could clearly hear her.

"What is it..." He groaned.

Spike was also extremely tired due to lack of sleep too but he got an extra half hour than Rarity because he woke up at 7:30am instead.

"Spike come on... It's your first day of high school today!" Twilight said excitedly.

Spike sat up, looking worried, he gulped.

"W... Wait... What?" He asked just to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"I said its your fist day of high school today!" She said even more excited this time as she threw her arms in the air.

Spike stood up and he was in nothing but is boxers, he scratched his head, still not taking in wait Twilight had said.

"So your saying I'm going to school today?" He asked confused.

Twilight folded her arms and raised her eyebrows.

"Yes you are spike." She answered a little irritatedly

Spike then had a worried look on his face.

"But I've never been to any school and... And they're all ponies there!" He argued.

"Spike you know how important education is... Especially to me and so what if they're all ponies, it's not like there are dragons here anyway!" She giggled

"But... But..."

"No buts spike you are going to school. Now get ready now or we'll be late!" She said.

So spike got up, Twilight was already ready, all Spike had to do was change his clothes and brush his hair and teeth... Now that was easy. After Spike had done that they both set off for school.

Rarity was sitting bored in her maths class once again. She was almost dozing off due to lack of sleep but she managed not to because she didn't want to get called out on from her teacher. Suddenly a teacher walked in with another student behind him. It was Spike! Rarity suddenly perked up and Spike saw her and waved. The two teachers were talking to each other and Spike noticed the whole class staring at him because he was a dragon. Then the other teacher left so it was just him standing there in front of the class.

"Well why don't you introduce yourself?" Asked Ms Peppermint (the maths teacher)

Spike shuffled about a bit until he got the courage to speak.

"Well...erm... My name is Spike." He said while looking to the ground.

"Well then Spike why don't you take a seat next to Soarin over there." Said the teacher.

Spike went and sat down, Soarin started talking to him almost immediately they seemed to be getting along. Ms Peppermint knew they were talking but she didn't mind because he was new and she wanted them both to make friends but then she saw Rarity staring at him.

"Rarity would you stop staring at spike please and concentrate, save all that stuff for outside of school!" She scolded.

Rarity flushed bright red and so did he while the whole class wolf whistled and jeered. Rarity looked at spike and mouthed the word:

"Sorry!"

Spike then mouthed back:

"It's ok!"

And that was all they said for the rest of the class, in fact that's all they said until the end of the day. Rarity was at her locker she was just taking out her P.E kit and some boring old heavy algebra books that where nearly impossible for her to carry on her own. Spike was at his locker too because he just wanted to know where it was and by coincidence they where both next to each other. Spike saw Rarity struggling to carry all the algebra books.

"Do you need a hand with that?" He asked casually.

Rarity looked up at him.

"If you please, I can barely breathe!" She panted.

Spike took all three of the books from her.

"Oh thank you so much!" She sighed heavily.

"These are surprisingly heavy, but I can handle them." He said trying to be tough.

"If you insist!" Rarity giggled.

Rarity and Spike both walked home with each other. Spike was still carrying her books and they where starting to feel heavier as they were half way to Rarity's.

"Oh you're such a gentleman Spike!" Thanked Rarity.

"It's nothing." Spike Replied.

There was a silence.

"I'm sorry for what happened I'm maths." Said Rarity as she began to flush.

Spike looked at her.

"Hey it's no big deal!" He said beginning to pant.

Rarity stopped and took one book from spike.

"Is that any better?" She asked kindly.

"Yeah thanks..." Said Spike.

He was a little miffed he wanted to seem tough but he tried not to let it bother him. It began to rain a little and seeming out of no where Rarity pulled out and umbrella and shared it between the two of them.

"I always keep and umbrella handy, I don't want to ruin my perfect hair!" She laughed.

Spike laughed as well.

"Good thing too!" Spike added.

Rarity put her arm around his as they walked down the street.

"So how was your first day then." Rarity asked

"Pretty good, I made friends with Soarin and Rapidfire." He answered.

She looked at him surprised.

"Wow you must've gotten lucky, those two are very popular!" She said sounding surprised.

"Oh really they were pretty down to earth, we kinda just did some flying tricks outside." He said

She looked at him happily.

"That sounds fun, though I would never try it, but I would love to spectate!" She said enthusiastically.

Spike laughed and stopped outside Rarity's door.

"Thank you darling!" Rarity Said.

"Oh it's nothing really." Spike said humbly.

"Would you like to come in?" She offered.

"I probably shouldn't, Twilight would go ballistic, you should've seen her last night!" Spike laughed and Rarity laughed too.

"Well if you insist!" She said happily.

Then she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.

"Why don't we have a date on Wednesday night?" Asked spike.

"At 7:00pm, I'll come to yours?" Rarity added

"Awesome!" Said Spike and he walked away.
