Spike's Gals
Chapter 11: spike and diamond tiara
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was a pleasant day in the town of Ponyville as the residential baby dragon known as Spike was currently out walking to enjoy the sunlight.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard what sounded like crying. He walked over to a bush that was near the main road and pushed the shrub away to see a young filly with a pink coat and purple mane with a white streak in it.
"Um, excuse me?" Spike tried to get the young fillies attention without scaring her.
Diamond Tiara pulled her hooves away and saw a purple and green dragon looking at her with confusion. "What do you want?" snapped Diamond Tiara.
Spike recoiled from the harsh tone, but that didn't send him away. He came here to see what was wrong, and he was gonna find out. "Well, I came here because I heard you cry, so I came here to see what's wrong." replied Spike with honesty.
That surprised Diamond Tiara. If it was some other filly or colt, they'd probably leave her be and go on their way. But this dragon wanted to know what was wrong. That was actually....nice of him.
"The reason I'm crying is because I lost my tiara." replied Diamond Tiara pointing to her mane that had nothing on top of it.
Spike placed a claw on his chin as he let his mind try to come up with a solution. Then, a light bulb went off, signaling he had just the plan.
"I've got just the thing!" Spike picked Diamond Tiara up and carried her bridle-style as he began to run towards the library.
Diamond Tiara held on as she felt her face heat up. She could feel the dragon's scales, which surprisingly felt warm to her.
They soon made it to the Golden Oaks Library, with Spike still holding onto Diamond Tiara. He gently put her down and ran over one of the bookshelves and began to search for something.
"What are you doing?" asked Diamond Tiara arching one of her eyebrows.
"Looking for something." replied Spike who grabbed something behind the shelf. "Found it!" He pulled out what appeared to be a briefcase.
"What's in there?" asked Diamond Tiara once again.
Spike didn't answer, but merely unlatched the front of the case and opened it, revealing numerous tools that jewelers used. He put several of them beside him and grabbed a piece of metal that was kept in the case for an emergency repair.
"This is my jewelry repair kit. I learned how to mold and fashion metal into different shapes after reading how to. Then I saved up enough bits to buy my own kit." replied Spike who put the metal back and pulled out a piece of what appeared to be gold.
"So, you're gonna make me a new tiara?" asked Diamond Tiara with hidden glee.
"That's the plan." replied Spike who was satisfied with the piece of gold and began to heat it up with his green flames, which surprised Diamond Tiara who had never seen a dragon breath fire before.
His scales protected him from getting burned and allowed him to carefully and easily bend it the right way without losing concentration. He made sure the flames were kept at a controllable temperature and slowly began to bend the gold into a shape.
Diamond Tiara just sat there in awe as she watched Spike bend and twist the gold and even saw him grab a few gems from the case. She dare not say anything as she didn't want to break his concentration.
Spike squinted his eyes as he was almost done. After another few minutes, He stopped the fire and grabbed a tool from the case and carefully began to make small grooves into the hot metal and began to carefully put the needed gems into the necessary spots.
Spike wiped the sweat from his head as he was immune to getting burned, but he could still get overheated. He grabbed the tongs from the case and rushed to the kitchen to get water. He came back out with a bucket of water and put the hot gold into it, causing a cloud of steam to come up and block their vision.
Spike and Diamond Tiara looked down at the piece of fashioned jewelry, and Diamond Tiara was utterly stunned. The piece of gold had been fashioned into a close replica of her first one. Except for the difference in metal as this was made out of gold. The tops of it were decked in beautiful rubies that shined perfectly.
Diamond Tiara was stunned by the work on it. It didn't look like it had any errors in it. Spike held it out to her with a satisfied smile as she still just stared at it. Finally, she picked it up and carefully put it on her head. Even more surprised to feel that it fit just right.
"A-Amazing. I can't believe you made this." replied Diamond Tiara in awe.
"Well, when I'm not helping Twilight, I got free time to work on my jewelry making." replied Spike.
Diamond Tiara looked at him with a smile on her face and hugged him. Spike was surprised by the sudden gesture, but returned the hug nonetheless.
Diamond Tiara pulled away and suddenly realized something. "Sorry, I never told you my name. Diamond Tiara." replied Diamond Tiara.
"Nice name. Mine's Spike." introduced Spike with a bow, that got a giggle out of Diamond Tiara.
"Spike, do you, maybe wanna, hang out sometime?" asked Diamond Tiara with a little red around her cheeks.
"I'd like that." replied Spike happy to have made a new friend.
This day not only sparked a meeting, but a new relationship for these two.
(Timeskip)
Diamond Tiara tried to hold back tears as the pearl necklace was placed around her neck by her husband. The head of an older dragon showed itself from behind her as he adjusted the pearls.
"They're perfect." replied Diamond Tiara.
"You're perfect." complimented Spike to his wife as he was finished with making sure the necklace was just right.
Both pony and dragon held each other as the camera panned out to show them on the balcony of a house that was between a cheap house, and a luxurious mansion.
After their first encounter, they couldn't stay away. Diamond Tiara had been eternally grateful for the dragon and treated him with kindness. Spike however heard how she treated the CMC and told her to apologize. At first she was reluctant, but knew that some of Spike's gentle nature was rubbing off on her, so she said she was sorry to them. They were at first suspicious, but decided to give her a chance.
It was a few years later that Diamond Tiara began to feel a strong romantic feeling for Spike. She was scared of telling him, but mustered up all her courage and told him outright that she liked him. She was relieved to hear that he felt the same way about her, and did something that neither regretted.
He proposed.
During their wedding, Twilight and her friends showed, Silver Spoon of course with the CMC who loved weddings, her father obviously, and even the princesses. What really shocked everyone at the reception was that Celestia and Luna was his MOTHER and AUNT! This meant he was technically a prince. That really made her day.
After tying the knot, Spike began to work as one of Ponyville's best jewelry makers and managed to keep them financially secured.
Now Diamond Tiara had everything she ever wanted. A great house, a secured future, and a prince charming as a husband.
"Hey, Diamond Tiara? We're gonna be late for our dinner date!" called Spike form downstairs.
"Coming!" shouted Diamond Tiara looking at the tiara on top of her head that made it all possible. She turned away to get ready for her date with her husband.
