Spike sighed as he wore his apron while dusting the shelves in the library.

"If Twilight just took my advice to get a vacuum, this would be over in a few minutes." he muttered to himself.

After cleaning Twilight's entire bedroom, he was off to the next room until suddenly Spike trips over himself! He then gets up with one palm on the wall, which was then pressed inwards by accident!

"Huh?!"

That's when a secret compartment opened-up. He was surprised and couldn't help but walk into the dark entryway.

"Man, how come this feels like the time I found that Inspiration Manifestation book? Ooh, I could still remember how bad my poo was after that! I made a literal brick!" That's when Spike saw a book atop a pedestal. "What the?"

He walked closer and closer, until...

"Tssss Tw-Twilight's diary! AND IT'S UNLOCKED!!!"

He backed up from the book and was about to run out of there, but the fact it was unlocked was oh so tempting.

"If I'm caught, then I'll say because the Owl found the room by accident."

Then he began reading!

Day 1

Dear Diawee,

Today I've been accepted into Cewestia's for gifted unicorns, got a baby dragon for a wittle brother, and best of all got my cutie mark! Best day ever!"

"Aww, that's so cute filly Twilight." He flipped the page.

Day 20

"Dear Diary, I was bullied today, being called 4 eyes & Mega nerd, it was so mean!"

"Aww, Twi."

"But then my dragon Spike breathed tiny sparks of flame all over them! Saving me!"

"Whoa, I did? Nice."

Then he flipped the pages again...

Year 5

"Dear Diary, I'm now 15 and my dragon Spike is now 8...and this time I returned the favor 7 years ago after I saved him from bullies calling him out of place!"

"I remember that, I loved you for that."

Year 7

"Dear Diary, I am now 17 and Spike is now 10, but sadly this might be the last time I write in you for...for..."

"For what?"

"For now that Spike has found a crush, which means...we can't hang out as much now that he's gonna do everything in his power to woo her!"

"What? But Twilight, we hang out a lot, Rarity's just one of my...priorities." 'Could this mean Twilight liked me that way?'

"I know it's silly to be jealous, but whenever I see him try so hard to woo her, it just makes my chest tighten up and make me wanna drop a piano on her."

"And that's why, if I can't have Spike, then I should just abandon my crush on him."

"Twilight..."

Then, Spike closed the book & sealed the room shut! He left Twilight's room to collect his thoughts as he sat on the castle's front steps.

"*sigh!*'I'm so sorry Twilight, guess that Flash Sentry guy she's crushing on now is how she's filling the void in her heart that I caused her...I gotta make it up to her somehow.'

That's when Spike heard laughing.

"Hm?" Spike looked to see Rarity walking besides Flash Sentry.

'Rarity? And she's laughing & walking with Flash Sentry? Wait, are they hugging?' Spike looked. '*Groan!* They've been hugging for 10 seconds, could it be that they're...dating?' Spike then felt tears form in his eyes before running back inside.

"Oh Flash, thank you for giving moi your trade secret to making even flashier stallion's fashions."

"No, thank you Rarity for giving me your trade secret on how to rock out with style!"

"You're one delightful friend." Rarity said platonically.

"Yeah, you're pretty cool also." Flash replied in a platonic manner as well.

Now we see Spike crying on his bed.

'I can't believe it. I've been crushing on her for years!' he thought.

"Has all of my efforts just been in vain?"

That's when he heard somepony's crying as said pony walked by his room.

"Twilight?"

"Spike? W-What is it?" asked Twilight wiping the tears from her eyes.

"I heard you crying."

"No I wa...Spike, why are you crying?"

"I'll tell you but you tell me why you're crying after okay?"

"Okay."

"Alright, it's just that...I saw Rarity with Flash Sentry."

"That's what I saw!"

"It's a cruel kind of funny isn't it? That the ponies we've been pining for would eventually end up with each other." Spike said with a face of painful sorrow.

"I know...you have it very rough don't you Spike?"

"Y...you're one to talk."

"What are you talking about?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I...kinda.....read your diary." he admitted.

"You...what?"

"Yeah, I...I was flattered by how you truly felt, it really touches my heart."

"You really mean it?"

"Yes I do...I'm sorry for being the 1st at breaking your heart."

"Actually, you never did break heart. I always hoped you would see me more than a childhood friend."

"Wh...what? R-really?"

"Yes, Flash was just in case you did get together with Rarity, or anyone else that isn't me."

"Twilight..."

"You know, maybe we could hook-up, considering what had just occurred."

"You sure? We might still be a little hurt."

"We've been trying to make our crushes so very happy, that now that they've found each other, why forbid them from happiness?"

"What does that mean for us?"

Twilight then cradled Spike's face with her hoof. "Spike, we've been together since forever, and if we do go through with this, it wont really change anything, we'll just live...as lovers."

Spike's eyes widened as that actually did sound kinda nice. "You really really wanna try it Twilight? What would others think?"

"Oh don't worry you 2, you guys are the majority OTP of Ponyville." Pinkie as she popped out of nowhere.

"AH!" they yelled jumping back. "Pinkie!"

"Sorry about that."

"What do you mean we're the OTP of Ponyville?" Asked Spike.

"It'a as it says, you 2 are the citizens' favorite imaginary couple!"

"Wait, everyone really thinks we could make it as a couple?" asked Twilight.

"Yup, you 2 were meant for each other."

Both watched as she disappeared by jumping into a book.

"I don't know if we should take the town's word for it, but let's try it!" Twilight suggested.

"Yeah, who knows, maybe this town is right about us, despite the fact that my mom dumps all of her weird subjects here."

"*Giggle*. So...where shall we go for our 1st date?"

After their 1st date went amazingly well, Spike & Twilight were closer than ever before, even getting married eventually, giving Cadence and 5 of her friends from high school a turn at saving Twilight & Spike from Queen Chrysalis, how's that for the phrase: You scratch our back we scratch yours, you know what I'm saying? But anyways, the 2 who were shocked the most from this were Rarity & Flash Sentry. Rarity missed a chance at becoming a Princess yet again, while Flash Sentry lost his chance at becoming Prince.

We now find ourselves in a new castle Twilight built just for her and Spike. Twilight had to have a bigger & better one since you know, Spike got more growth spurts. Their friends didn't mind that though, because they all go cooler thrones. Anyways, let's see what the couple has been doing since I, the narrator decided to do time skips in this chapter...okay, they are not here at home, not here Sugarcube Corner...ah, here they are in the park! Wait, what are they doing?

"Come to daddy, come-on Space Scale, come to Daddy."

That's when the hybrid child go up on it's hind legs which was where the hooves were, and began taking it's...

"Her" Pinkie corrected.

Her 1st steps towards Spike.

"There ya go!" cheered Spike holding his daughter up with a smile.

The baby laughed while flailing her claws and hooves.

"Spike! The BBQ is ready."

"We're coming."

"Thank you servant."

"You are very welcome Princess, have fun with your family!"

Spike & Twilight were having loads of fun alone with their daughter...and the servant watching the grill, then, after eating...

"Okay Francis, wait for my signal, then take the picture" Spike told him.

"His name is Francis?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah." Spike replied. "Alright, one 3, 2, 1, now guys!"

That's when all of their friends jumped out of the bushes and got into the picture with them!

"Spike! What the Tartarus?!"

"Whaaaaat, I thought I'd try something unpredictable, we don't want a 2nd Cadence now do we?"

Then everyone started laughing, putting an end to such a fun day.
