"Shall I finish up from here Sweetie Belle? You need your beauty rest for tomorrow." Spike asked his bride.

"Sure thing Spike. See you tomorrow, Smoochums." Sweetie said and left with her sister.

"Right...well...This part my adopted mother knows about..." Spike said.

"YOUR DATING SWEETIE BELLE?!" Twiilght exclaimed once I told her.

"Yep. She got heart broken by Button Mash and I got heartbroken by Rarity. Things just sort of happened from there." I said.

"I'm sorry it's just...your growing up so much Spike..." Twilight said, tears in her eyes. Or was that Liquid Pride? ...Totally Liquid Pride.

"I've got to grow up at some point. I guess now is a good time to mention that I've always seen you as my adoptive mother, Twilight." I said to Twilight.

"Oh Spike..." Twilight wing hugged me. It was nice.

"That's it?" Spoiled Rich asked.

"Not much more to tell. Me and Sweetie Belle dated for a whole two years. I was much better of being her boyfriend and the only one who wanted to see her for who she was. Everyone else just shrugged her off as Rarity's Younger Sister who wasn't amongst her best friends. Even other colts and later stallions Sweetie's Age. Throughout each one of those that hurt her by calling her Rarity's Younger Sister and treating her as nothing but, I was there. I wasn't going to let her be alone as she worked through the hurt and the pain." Spike said. "I stuck by her side, whenever she needed a shoulder to cry on, I was there. Whenever someone tried to rape her, I was there. And whenever she struggled with her homework even, I was there. Rarity can testify to that last one." Spike said. "I'm a dragon by nature, and I have to deal with keeping my greed from flaring up. But for the first time, my greed worked in my favor when it came to my relationship with Sweetie Belle. Our love became my greatest treasure; far more valuable to me then anything in the world. Even gems were nothing compared to my love for Sweetie Belle. Thus, my greed kicked in, making me want Sweetie Belle's love more then anything else. And over time, I've managed to even use it to my advantage. The one time my greed did something good. And that was three years ago." Spike said.

I went over to Rarity's to pick Sweetie Belle up for our date today. However, Rarity was on the couch eating ice cream non-stop. "...Let me guess, you had another break up?" I asked.

"No...worse..." Rarity showed me the ransom note.

"...Pay seventy thousand bits within one week or never see your sister again?!" I read outloud.

"Sweetie Belle's been kidnapped...and there's no way I'll make enough money in time..." Rarity said.

"SPIKE WANT!" I said before heading out side, morphing a bit as my greed triggered me to change into that mid-stage form I was when I let my greed control me. Only this time I felt in control.

"Sp-spike..." Rarity came out and confronted me. "Don't get greedy on me now, Sweetie needs you!" She said.

"SPIKE WILL GET SWEETIE BELLE BACK!" I said and walked off. Rarity went wide eyed.

"I think it was more so that his lust for my sister combined with his greed to drive him to the lengths he was willing to go." Rarity said upon coming back.

"RARITY!" Spike yelled.

"Sorry...sorry..." Rarity said.

Unlike last time when my dragon nature took effect, this time I was in full control. I would get Sweetie Belle back. For she was MINE and MINE alone. I managed to find her thanks to the enhanced nature of my mid-stage form making me focus on Sweetie Belle specifically. I found her tied up and held by two stallions from class who were planning on torturing her to death.

"What the...A DRAGON?! HERE IN PONYVILLE?!" One of the Stallions said.

"GIVE SPIKE SWEETIE BELLE!" I warned them.

"NEVER!" The other Stallion said.

"Uh...I think we just signed our own death warrent dude..." The first stallion said before I knocked them both out by hitting them against each other. I saved Sweetie Belle and reverted to normal once she hugged me.

"Spike...your greed saved me..." Sweetie Belle said.

"It...it was nothing my darling..." I said to her.

"But it meant everything to me..." Sweetie Belle said before kissing me on the cheek. The very act caused me to pass out. I woke up sometime later back at my room in Twilgiht's Castle with Sweetie Belle and Rarity beside me. "My handsome prince..." Sweetie Belle cooed at me.

"Oh Spike...you saved my sister...I can't ever thank you enough!" Rarity said.

"Don't mention it Rarity." I said.

"You saved me from two mean stallions. Your my hero, Smoochums!" Sweetie Belle said before kissing me again.

"Sm-smoochums?!" I exclaimed, caught off guard.

"Well since my sister kept calling you Spikey Wikey, I figured I might as well get to call you something unique to me, and me alone." Sweetie Belle said. I smiled.

"I can deal with that, my love." I said.

"Oh Smoochums..." Sweetie Belle said, clearly head over heels for me at this point.

"Huh...that's why she called you Smoochums earlier..." Spoiled Rich said.

"Yeah. It's her thing. No one else gets to use it." Spike said.

"No one was planning on it, sugarcube." Applejack said.

"It's getting late...everyone turn in for the night." Twilight said but stopped Spike. "...Do we need to tell them about your proposal?" Twilight asked her adopted son.

"No mommy...we don't. As it was the same two stallions, same thing as last back then on the day I planned to propose to her. Which I still got to." Spike said.

"I guess your right, my son." Twilight said.

Tomorrow was a big day...
