Spike was panting as he was trying to deliver some new silk Rarity had ordered.

'Here he comes...' Thought Tumble as Spike was heading towards her. "Spike, I..."

*ZOOM!* Spike zipped by as he ran past Tumble!

"*Sigh* Guess not this time."

You see, Tumble here had a little crush on the purple dragon. They met when Scootaloo wanted to introduce her friends to each other, and well, just see this flashback.

*Flashback!*

Tumble was enjoying the punch at Scootaloo's birthday until a hoof tapped her from behind.

"Tumble, this is my new pal Spike!"

"Oh, hey there Sp..." Then, as soon as she turned...her heart was feeling just magnificent.

Spike was scratching his back as Tumble stared at him in a sparkly background.

"Hey Spike, pay attention."

"Oh, sorry Scootaloo I'm a little nervous considering you dragged me here when I should be picking-up the laundry, anyways hello Tumble, hope we can be great friends."

That's when she fainted like Hinata Hyuga.

"Ah!" Then Spike got down grabbed her with both of his hands and tried shaking her awake! "Tumble! Are you okay?"

Then Tumble woke-up only to faint again!

"Ah! No!"

*End of Flashback!*

Tumble sighed with joy, but sighed in sadness as she lost a chance to tell Spike how she felt.

'You can do it Girl! You can tell Spike how you feel!' Then Tumble pumped her hoof into the air!

"Tumble! I'm heading to Hayburger's want something?" Then Thunderlane saw his little sister's pose. "Uh..."

"Oh, I'll have a cheese burger and toy."

"Alright." Then Thunderlane left the living room.

So, after lunch Tumble decided to see Spike again! This time, seeing him walk Winona.

'Focus Tumble! Try and bring up something about animals.' she thought taking a deep breath.

"Hey Sp-" She was stopped as Winona bit onto her hoof. "OW!"

"Winona! Bad girl! Let go!" Winona obliged & let go.

*Grr...* Winona growled then did the I got my eye on you thing with her left paw to Tumble.

*Gulp!*

"Sorry Tumble, could you talk to me later? I don't trust Winona around you."

Tumble nodded her head as Spike and Winona went on their way.

'Okay Tumble, time to go to the doctor, Flitter & Cloudchaser are right there to carry you, because it's possible you've contracted rabies from that bite.' Then as she stumbled towards the twin pegasi sisters.

"Oh, hello Tumble how are you?" Asked Flitter.

"Take me to the hospital, I've been infected with...raaaa.....biiiieees..." *THUD!* Then everything went dark for a few hours before finally waking-up in a hospital bed.

"Oh thank Celestia!" Said Thunderlane before hugging Tumble. "Hey Doc, how much is this gonna cost?"

"Don't worry, we'll take care of taking care of Tumble's welfare again." Said Cloudchaser.

Then, after being released from the Hospital, Tumble decided to try again!

'I'll try something more....primal.' she thought setting up a cardboard box that was held up with a stick that had some string attached to it.

"This ruby will catch his eye." she set it down and ducked into the bushes.

"Ooh, piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy!" That's when..

"Outta my way shrimp! That's my shtick!" Then..."Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! Ooh a piece of ruby!"

That's when the rope dropped the box on James Woods then Peter & Brian Griffin came outta the bushes and held on tight!

"Thanks kid." Said Peter

"Yeah, he would've expected us to do it to him again!" Added Brian.

Then Tumble face hoofed!

Now we find Tumble setting up a net launcher while Spike was browsing through the flower shop.

'I wonder, should I really be kidnapping Spike? He did say we could talk after he's done with his list of errands.'

She tapped her chin and didn't notice her putting too much pressure on the lever before it went off, but in the reverse way.

"Ah!" Then the net got all over her! "Dang! Hey, you! Yeah you with the scissors, instead of irresponsibly running with those, could you cut me free from this net?"

"I'm gonna have to refuse out of spite for your brother, so good luck figuring out how to get out yourself!"

"Come back here you jerk! Grr..."

That's when the net was flung off of her!

"What the? Oh, thank you Princess Twilight."

"No problem, now where's your brother? Rainbow Dash told me that she's dumping him and wants me to pass along the message."

"He's at home preening."

Then, after Twilight headed to Thunderlane's home, Tumble decided to give it one last clown college try!

"This will grab his attention without a doubt!"

"What was that?" Asked Rarity.

"N-nothing! Just mumbling to myself...how much will this cost?"

"On the house."

"Thanks for being so cool Rarity! Bye!"

Then, in her new pretty dress, beautifully done mane & tail, and a little make-up, was bound for the castle!

She softly knocked on the doors and stood there like a prim and proper mare.

"Sorry, the Princess is...unavailable?" Spike's head then spun a whole 360 degrees at what met him on the other side of the door. "TUMBLE?!"

"Hey, I..I mean...Good afternoon Spike."

"Tumble? Is that you?" he asked looking her up and down.

"Indeed it is I, Tumble." Then she moved next to him. "Do you...like what you see?" She asked while looking at him half lidded with a smile.

'Yes! Appealing to a boy's perversion is working!'

"Uh...y-yes I d-do...you know, now that I'm done with my errands, I have free time to..."

"I'll see you at the CMC Clubhouse, they need help with their fancy restaurant service cutie marks. Feel like helping them out?" She asked while holding his chin with her hoof, making him blush.

"Uh..y-yeah! I'll put on a tux and meet you th-there!"

"Good." smiled Tumble turning and winking at Spike over her shoulder before walking away.

'Okay Spike, you just let your perverted little boy side get the best of you, let's try to not be so perverted once the date begins.' Spike went back inside, had a quick shower, made Twilight some Macaroni & Cheese with a note saying he'll be out, put on a freshly ironed suit, combed his scales, and was off to the CMC Clubhouse.

Later... Spike met with Tumble as the sun began setting.

'Okay Spike, Tumble is your shy friend and you should really support her for being this bold!'

"So, I noticed you were more bold than usual." started Spike.

"Oh, well my heart encouraged me to come out of my shell."

Then Spike & Tumble went to the picnic table with a candle lit dinner ready for them. Octavia was payed by Flitter & Cloudchaser to play mood music for Spike & Tumble. Sweetie Belle was NOT allowed to cook, so instead she was waiting the table while Scootaloo was cooking the food. With AB ready to clean-up the table afterwards.

"L-ladies 1st?"

"Why thank you Spike,you're such a gentleman."

Spike blushed as he let Tumble sit first before taking a seat right across from her.

"Welcome to Chez la Cutie, I will be your waiter for this evening."

"Sweetie Belle, your french accent is just as bad as Sly Cooper's Italian accent." The both of them plus Octavia told her.

"Fine! Just tell me what you'd like to order!"

Then they looked at the piece of paper that said menu & the only thing on the menu was Spaghetti with meatballs.

"I'll have the Spaghetti & Meatballs." Spike told her.

"I, as well will have the Spaghetti with meatballs." Said Tumble.

"Splendid, wait right there, your food will be ready soon." Then she left to see Scootaloo & Applebloom.

As they waited, Spike looked down, while not noticing Tumble looking at him seductively with bedroom eyes.

'I can't believe I did it! I can finally tell him!' thought Tumble in absolute joy. "Spike, I just want to say that I'm happy you came here with me."

"Oh, well thanks, I'm happy to be here with you too Tumble, anything for a good friend."

'A friend?' "Aren't there any besides Rarity you'd see yourself going the next level with?"

"1, actually."

"For the gentleman, a plate of Spaghetti & Meatballs. And for the lady, a plate of Spaghetti & Meatballs."

"You see only one friend you'd see going the next level with that isn't Rarity?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Oh, well she must be very lucky." smiled Tumble who inside felt like crawling under a rock and crying to herself.

"Yeah, even though we've been friends for years & hang out, she's actually quite silent."

'Wait, is he talking about Fluttershy?!' "Is that so?"

"Yeah, she's our age, I'm sure you know her."

'Phew! He's talking about me.' "I'm drawing a blank here Spike, maybe you could explain a little more in detail what she looks like?"

"Well she has some of the cutest cheeks you'd ever see."

'Thank you!' "Go on."

"She has this pair of purple mane that I love to see glisten in delight."

'Aww, you're so sweet.' "Anything else?" She said while still keeping a straight face.

"Well, I love how her Silvery Gray coat shines in the moonlight."

'OW, my happiness is spiking to a higher level!' "I think I know who you're talking about, but please, more clues."

"Oh, I love how her pegasus wings fl..." Spike could not finish that sentence, there was something blocking his lips...oh that's right, the thing blocking his lips, were another pair of lips! Tumble's lips to be exact!

Tumble couldn't help herself and claimed Spike's lips as his compliments were making her feel tingly all over.

"Girls look!"

"Yes! This date is going great!"

"Let's see."

Then all 3 groaned as they checked to see no cutie mark. Spike was running out of air, so in order to breathe he had to breathe from his nostrils!

'Oh-man, this is going too far with the bold thing! Though, I really like this new Tumble!' Spike thought.

Finally Tumble pulled back with a smile.

Spike looked at her as the night wind blew her mane, and the light of the moon shined on her coat, it was a magnificent sight.

This time he held her cheeks before claiming her lips.

'JACKPOT!!! He's kissing me back!'

"Hey Tumble, we're are you? I'll be in Manehattan all day tomorrow, so..." That's when he saw it."..."

"Oh, hey big bro, wh...what did you wanna say?"

"Oh, I'll be at Manehattan all day tomorrow to get over being dumped by Rainbow Dash, so yeah, Flitter & Cloudchaser will be watching you while I'm gone, also.......great choice little sis, he's a keeper." Thunderlane said before he flew home.

Then Spike & Tumble went back to kissing each other on the table.

"So, wanna go on another date?" Asked Spike. "Say, next week on Friday?"

"Fantastic! Well, it's getting pretty late, I'll be flying off too."

"Wait, I wanna walk you home!"

"Fine by me Spike." Tumble agreed.

So, Spike walked Tumble back to her house, and gave her a goodbye kiss. After that, Spike went back to his room to sigh on the floor about the great he had.

"So, have fun?" teased Twilight with a smile.

"Yep, I sure did Twilight."

And with that, the chapter ends as Spike thinks about how wonderful the future of his love life will be.
