Spike looked himself over in the mirror and was satisfied with what he was wearing. He was currently wearing a black tuxedo with a purple undershirt and a black tie over it.

Twilight happened to be walking down the stairs and was wondering why her assistant/little brother was dressed up.

Spike saw Twilight in the mirror and turned to her. “Hey Twilight, I’m not gonna be able to get to work on those chores cause I’ll be out for a while.” replied Spike heading over to his basket to get his gift.

“What are you dressed up for?” asked Twilight.

“Simple. I finally got the courage to tell Rarity how much I like her, and she suggested we go out to start things off.” replied Spike holding a small box in his claws.

“Wait, so Rarity accepted your feelings and you guys are going out on your first date?” asked Twilight.

“Yeah, why? Is that hard to understand?” asked Spike who didn't like the way Twilight said that.

“No, I’m just glad to hear that everything went well. I'm proud of you Spike. That took some courage.” replied Twilight with a smile.

“It sure did. I thought I’d stand there like a babbling idiot when I asked her.” replied Spike satisfied with his clothing for the occasion.

Spike turned and headed out the door while picking up the bouquet of roses and head toward the boutique.

After a few minutes of walking, Spike finally made it the boutique and tried to calm his heart down long enough for him to walk up and knock on the door. He finally got it under control and walked up to the door before knocking.

He stood there as he heard the sound of hoofs coming to the door. It opened to reveal the one he held feelings for, wearing her dress that Twilight and the others made to thank her for making their dresses for the gala.

Rarity saw It was Spike and gave him a smile that she knew he melted under. “Why hello there, Spike. You ready?” asked Rarity.

Spike didn't respond for a few seconds as he swallowed the lump in his throat before responding. “Y-Yes, Rarity. Y-You look nice.” replied Spike who felt silly hearing himself stammer.

“Why thank you darling. I must say, you do look quite dashing in that tux.” replied Rarity complimenting him back.

Spike felt like he was on cloud nine from the compliment. He shook his head to focus and held the bouquet out to her. “I got these for you. I thought they would look beautiful on you.” replied Spike who could tell his face was blushing.

“Why they're beautiful. I love them.” Rarity held them with her magic and put them in a vase to keep them hydrated and put one rose to put into her mane. The way it was put and the way she tilted her head made her even more gorgeous to Spike than before.

“Shall we go?” asked Rarity holding her hoof out for Spike to grab.

“We shall.” replied Spike wrapping his arm around her hoof and the two of them soon went on their way.

Spike was feeling butterflies in his stomach constantly as he and Rarity walked through Ponyville. He hoped his plan for the date went alright. If all went well, he would ask Rarity a very important question.

Rarity was excited for what the night may have as this was Spike who planned it. She new he had powerful feelings for her after the fiasco with his greed. Ever since then, she had gradually been feeling the same. She didn't tell him yet as he asked her out before she could tell him. Plus, this date would show how mature Spike truly is.

Spike stopped where they were as they made it to their destination. Both looked up as they stood in front of a new place in Ponyville. This place was designed to be a restaurant, while also having a dance floor where couples could slow dance together.

Both made their way in and were soon escorted to a nice table by the waitress. Both waited there at the table as their food was getting ready.

“Well Rarity, how does this place look?” asked Spike hoping she liked it.

“It's wonderful. How did you get a reservation?” asked Rarity.

“Being Celestia's son has its rewards.” shrugged Spike. He had told Twilight and the others a month ago about him being the official adopted son of Celestia. They were surprised, but he said that he didn't want ponies to pretend to be his friend, so he kept it hidden, which made them feel that he was more mature than they thought.

Both of them soon saw their foods get placed in front of them and began to enjoy the delicious meal. Rarity had a simple salad with delicious croutons, while Spike dined on some of the best gems they had.

After finishing up their meal, Spike said he had one more thing for their date. Spike had Rarity cover her eyes and held her hoof as he brought her around the restaurant.

“Alright, you can open your eyes now.” replied Spike as Rarity uncovered her eyes, and was speechless at what she saw.

Behind the restaurant was a gorgeous lake with the trees on the sides parting it just right for the moon to be reflected in the clear water.

“I figured this would be something you might like.” replied Spike.

Rarity didn't say anything, but held like close. “Spike, this is the best date I've ever been on.”

“Well, it's not over yet.” replied Spike.

“What do you mean Spikey?” asked Rarity.

Like held her hooves in his claws and looked her right in the eye. “Rarity, you already know this, but I like you. A lot. I know I'm a dragon and your a unicorn, but I want us to be together. So, what I'm asking is, will you be my marefriend?” asked like getting down on one knee. All he needed was a ring to make it look like a wedding proposal.

Rarity smiled and held back the tears before holding Spike's face with her hooves and slamming her lips with his. An instant rush of electricity passed through both of them as they knew this was the start of a new beginning for them.

“Yay!” cried Rarity now donned in a princess gown. Since like had proposed to her, she had been treated as a princess from Celestia and Luna. This day couldn't get any better. She had become a famous fashion designer, she was treated like the thing she had dreamed of, and she had the best dragon as her lover nothing could get much better.

“Hey Rarity? Fashion Hoof just called. They want you to design a new spread of gowns for the upcoming Gala.

She took that back. It just got better. And one thing was for sure. Spike was ten times the gentlecolt than Blueblood ever was.
