What happens when you don't have your soulmate?
So for Valentine's Day
I wrote this. Because you know, why not. First and foremost, you should know about this gif: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzapccnhmh1r3gomwo1_400.gif It comes from the most recent pony episode. It's the basis on what this is.
Read more blank, because this is looong. Thanks to Papshooshed for helping me choose an ending. Happy V-Day everyone.
CAMERA PANS DOWN TO THE LIBRARY WHERE TWILIGHT AND SPIKE LIVE SPIKE: Today's the day! CROSSFADE INTO INTERRIOR OF LIBRARY, SHOWING SPIKE JUMPING UP IN THE AIR
TWILIGHT WALKS BY
TWILIGHT: Today's the day, huh? You're not talking about Hearts and Hooves Day, are you? SPIKE: Well, from all those stories you were telling me about last night, how can't I be excited for today?
SPIKE LOOKS IN A MIRROR AND LICKS HIS FINGER, TRYING TO COMB HIS HEAD SCALES BACK, WHICH POP BACK UP INTO PLACE
SPIKE: I'm going to confess to Rarity, and she'll haaaave to take me up on it! TWILIGHT: That's not exactly what the stories said... SPIKE: I know, but if I use that love potion and--
TWILIGHT: Weren't you paying attention at all? That wasn't a love potion, that was a love poison. Those are two completely different things.
SPIKE: But that's only if two ponies drink it. What if I just slip her some of the potion and then--- TWILIGHT: Spike, I forbid you from making potions. SPIKE: But c'moooon. TWILIGHT: Today might do you some good Spike, maybe you'll get over your crush. TWILIGHT TAKES A STACK OF BOOKS AND HOISTS THEM ONTO HER BACK TWILIGHT: But just to be sure, I'm taking all the Hearts and Hooves day books with me. So at least I know you won't try to do anything crazy. I'm going to go read up on some more of this, because it's still fascinating history. I'll see you later Spike! TWILIGHT WALKS OUT THE DOOR AND CLOSES IT BEHIND HER SPIKE: Hmmpph. SPIKE CROSSES HIS ARMS Yeah, just have your own good day and don't let Spike live out a dream. SPIKE LETS OUT A DEEP SIGH Well, if I can't make Rarity fall for me, then I'll just go talk to her myself! I'm sure no pony has asked her to be her special somepony today,
so maybe that means she's holding out for a dragon! SPIKE RUNS OUT THE DOOR, BUT RUNS BACK IN QUICK SPIKE GRABS A FANCY HAT AND PUTS IT ON HE RUNS BACK OUT THE DOOR AND SLAMS IT SHUT CUT TO OUTSIDE OF RARITY'S SHOP A LONG LINE OF PONIES ARE COMING OUT THE DOOR CAMERA PANS DOWN TO SPIKE RUNNING ALONGSIDE THE LINE SPIKE: Jeez! What's with all these ponies? They're not all here to ask Rarity, are they? SPIKE SNEAKS UNDER PONIES AND GETS INSIDE HE SNEAKS OVER TO RARITY'S DESK SPIKE: Hi Rarity! RARITY IS TALKING WITH ANOTHER PONY AND BOTH ARE SURPRISED RARITY: Oh... Hello Spike. How are you...? SPIKE: Well today is Hearts and Hooves day and... MALE PONY AT DESK: Excuuuse me ma'am, but you can have that outfit done by tonight, right? RARITY: Yes of course! More than happy to help a happy couple on such a day like today. MALE PONY AT DESK: Most excellent, I shall be back later to pick it up! SPIKE: So, about today... RARITY: It's nice for you to visit Spike, FEMALE PONY APPROACHES DESK but I'm currently swamped with orders for outfits that people will be wearing this evening. It is Hearts and Hooves day after all, and everyone with a special somepony needs to look no less than fabulous. SPIKE: Well, if that's the case, I can help! RARITY CHATS WITH THE FEMALE PONY AND THE FEMALE PONY LEAVES RARITY LOOKS TO SPIKE WITH A SIGH RARITY: That's awfully kind of you to ask Spike, but I have this all under control. I only want to do the very best for these ponies, and I'm afraid today isn't the day I can accept amateur work. ANOTHER PONY APPROACHES THE COUNTER RARITY: So, if you don't mind, I need my space for now. Maybe I'll see you later Spike. SPIKE: Oh... sure... SPIKE WALKS OUT OF THE STORE WITH A SLOUCH AND PUTS HIS HAT ON SOME RANDOM PONY IN LINE CUT TO PICNIC TABLES BY A FIELD SPIKE IS SITTING DOWN WITH HIS CHIN IN HIS CLAWS SPIKE: Well now what am I supposed to do? She doesn't want to be bothered, but now after that I gotta do something to make her notice me. At least I have all day, but then that means I gotta do something that will really wow her. She'll have to accept me if I do something amazing. But what? SPIKE HEARS SINGING FROM OVER THE HILL AND GOES TO PEAK SPIKE SEES SWEETIE BELLE, SCOOTALOO AND APPLEBLOOM SINGING THEIR HEARTS AND HOOVES DAY SONG SPIKE: Aha! Sweetie Belle! I could ask her.
She's Rarity's sister, she would know what Rarity wants the most out of me. What are they singing about though? SPIKE OVERHEARS SOME OF THE LYRICS TO THE SONG SPIKE: Huh... They're trying to find a date for their teacher? SPIKE SNAPS HIS FINGERS Wait, that's it! If I help out some other pony find a date, then maybe Rarity will notice how good of a... What was that weird pegasus pony called again? Well... This should be perfect! SPIKE STARTS SINGING TO THE SAME TUNE AS THE CUTIE CRUSADER'S SONG SPIKE: Rarity is fine and sweet, she really puts the spring in my step, now what I gotta do is find, someponies who need each other...? yep!
So I gotta look, all over this town,
I'm sure there's love,
ready to be found, If I help them, then maybe it'll work. Hey this one looks like he, might be my ticket to Rarity! MALE PONY: Dude, my girlfriend is coming. SPIKE: ...Sorry. But I don't know where just to look, I really wish I had Twilight's books, If I can, can find, the perfect two, then maybe Rarity will see me as a interest too. But as I look out and the see hearts fly, looks like only it's my dreams that die, But I don't want to quit or give up hope ugh this singing is for the girls, I guess I will just go and mope. I don't even know why I was singing anyway. SPIKE BUMPS INTO LILY PETAL WHEN NOT LOOKING SPIKE: Ow... Sorry about that, I was just... SPIKE SEES TEARS IN THE PONY'S EYES SPIKE: Hey, what's wrong little philly? LILY PETAL: It's... nothing.... SHE HIDES HER CARD BEHIND HER BACK SPIKE: What's this? SPIKE SNATCHES THE CARD LILY PETAL: Noooo!! That's not for you!! LILY TACKLES SPIKE SPIKE: Sorry, sorry!! LILY PETAL: This I was going to give to a colt in my class... but someone else beat me to it. SPIKE: Oh... That stinks. LILY PETAL: He was so happy when she gave him the card... I just didn't feel like... I should even try... SPIKE: Well why didn't you give him the card? LILY PETAL: Huh? SPIKE: Just because he got one doesn't mean he's totally taken! C'mon, if you like him that much just give him the card! LILY PETAL: B-but.... SPIKE: No buts! I'm going to help you with this. If you really like him then you should just go with it! LILY PETAL: But if he just... SPIKE GRABS HER BY THE TAIL AND STARTS DRAGGING HER SPIKE: Now what direction is he in? LILY PETAL: I... Uh... SPIKE: I'm dedicated to helping you with this, so that's what I'm going to do! SCENE FADES TO BLACK FADE FROM BLACK, SPIKE AND LILY PETAL ARE BY THE SCHOOLYARD SPIKE: So the guy is here, right? Go up and say something! LILY PETAL: I... I don't think I should. SPIKE: C'mooooon. If I can show Rarity I can help out others with something like today, she'll totally want me. And if you don't go then you won't know for sure! LILY PETAL: It's just that... He was very happy, and hugged her tight when she showed him the card. I like that you are trying to help me but, he doesn't want me. I'm too weak for him. SPIKE: That's nonsense! You seem to be every bit as strong as that filly over there, what do you have to lose? LILY PETAL: I think I'm going to go now... LILYPETAL STARTS WALKING AWAY AND SPIKE GRABS HER TAIL, DRAGGING HIS FEET TO MAKE HER STOP SPIKE: Pleeease try? For me? I'll... I'll get you some precious gemstones or something! LILY PETAL: It's too hard for me... SPIKE: Well... What if I helped you feel more confident? Or something like made you feel stronger? LILY PETAL: How? SPIKE: Hmm... I think I have an idea. CROSSFADE TO EXTERIOR OF APPLE FAMILY FARM CAMERA PANS DOWN TO SEE SPIKE, LILY PETAL AND APPLEJACK APPLEJACK: So now let me get this here straight... You two want to help me with some apple pickin' to help her feel better about herself? SPIKE: Yeah! And then she can confess to her affection for the colt. APPLEJACK: It's just... Usually y'all have some other idear in mind. Spike, come over here. SPIKE LEAVES LILY PETAL TO SPEAK WITH APPLEJACK IN PRIVATE APPLEJACK: What're y'all pullin'? SPIKE: I just really really really want to help somone! APPLEJACK: Usually if yer helpin' someone they're either in real trouble, or it's for your own wantin' Spill. SPIKE: Honest! I'm doing this for the good in my heart! APPLEJACK GLARES AT HIM SPIKE: Well, you see... the thing is... APPLEJACK GLARES AT HIM HARDER SPIKE: OK, OK! Rarity's busy all day making outfits for all the ponies that have special someponies, so I thought that if I helped get a pony with their special somepony, Rarity would find me really cool and would totally accept my Hearts and Hooves Day Card! APPLEJACK: APPLEJACK SIGHS I'm sorry Spike, but I don't think I can support ya doing this. It's not really fair to the little filly that yer only doing this fer yourself. SPIKE: But it's with good intention! APPLEJACK: Although... Big MacIntosh seems to have vanished from the farm. He was only supposed ta get some more hay, yet I haven't seen him anywhere. I think so long as ya also chip in the work, then sure, you two can help me out. I'll need all the help I can get right now if that brother of mine is off somewhere else. I just can't imagine where he could be... CROSSFADE TO TREES ON THE FARM, CAMERA PANS TO THE LEFT TO SEE LILY PETAL KICKING AND SPIKE PICKING APPLES APPLEJACK WALKS OVER APPLEJACK: Well, y'all are doin' a nice job helpin' me out, but I'm gonna as that ya pick up the pace. Spike, if you could try pickin' them faster so poor Lily down here doesn't have to do the grunt work. SPIKE: I know! I'm trying! APPLEJACK: So how are you feelin', Lily? LILY PETAL: I'm feel a bit better. I'm amazed that I can kick trees like this! APPLEJACK: Everypony has the natural-born talent to be an apple-bucker,
but only the ones that work hard are any good at it. I think yer really workin' hard. Do you feel any better about yerself? LILY PETAL: A little... It's just... even if I'm good and strong, I don't know if he wants that... APPLEJACK: Bein' strong isn't just about the force. There's also bein' strong of heart too. I think Spike was bein' a bit misleadin' when he wanted to help ya out, but his heart was in the right place. Ya just gotta follow your heart and take the consequences as they come. LILY PETAL: Do... do you have a special somepony? APPLEJACK: Hah hah hah, Well, I don't know about that. But I do know about being honest. And ya gotta be honest with yourself in times like these. LILY PETAL: What does that mean? APPLEJACK: That's somethin' ya just gotta learn on your own. You and Spike only need to help me out for another half hour, then yer free as a whistle. SPIKE SLIDES DOWN THE TREE SPIKE: So how are you feeling? LILY PETAL: I still don't know if I can do this... SPIKE: Well... I should probably apologize for roping you into this. Applejack is right in that I was being a teensy bit selfish of not thinking of your feelings. LILY PETAL: No... I want to give it to him... And I do feel a bit more confident after all this bucking... SPIKE: I know it's hard, especially if you're thinking of the bad side. I really like this one pony right now too, and I don't think she feels the same way about me. But I'm still gonna ask her! I'm nervous to, and I don't know what she'll say, but if I don't say what I feel then how will I ever know? LILY PETAL: ...you like a pony? LILY CHUCKLES A LITTLE SPIKE: It's not funny! I just really like Rarity, OK!? LILY PETAL: Maybe that's what Miss Applejack meant by inner strength? SPIKE: I think so! You just have to go with what your heart says! LILY PETAL: Then... I'll see you later. SPIKE: Oh no, I'm coming with you! LILY PETAL: I'm not going to talk to him now. I'm going to work on this card and improve it. I want you to look it over for me and meet me by the hill later, OK? SPIKE: Do you want me to get him? LILY PETAL: No. I gotta do this myself! SPIKE: Alright. I'd be more than happy to help! SPIKE AND LILY PETAL BOTH WALK OFF TO THE RIGHT, APPLEJACK RETURNS AND ROLLS HER EYES AT THE UNFINISHED WORK APPLEJACK: Cute little filly. Silly question though. I don't think anyone in the Apple Family has a special somepony right now. FADE TO BLACK FADE FROM BLACK IT IS SUNSET ON A TALL HILL THAT OVERLOOKS PONYVILLE, SPIKE, LILY PETAL, AND APPLEJACK ARE ALL WALKING UP IT SPIKE: Why did you decide to come along again? APPLEJACK: I don't have anythin' better to do, and I figured in case somethin' happens, I'd rather be here to help out. LILY PETAL: Can you look at the card, Spike? SPIKE: Sure. I think it's great! If someone gave me this I would probably fall scales over tail for them... That is, if I didn't already fall scales over tail for someone already! LILY PETAL: You really think so? I... I hope he likes it too! SPIKE: He's have to be pretty mean to reject that kind of card. So where is he? Do we know if he's coming? LILY PETAL: This is where we used to play... SPIKE: Huh? ENTIRE SCREEN RIPPLES INTO A FLASHBACK WE SEE LILY PETAL, HER PARENTS, BOY PONY AND HIS PARENTS ALL ON THE HILL LILY AND BOY ARE PLAYING JUBLIANTLY LILY PETAL: When we were a lot younger, our parents would take us to this hill for picnics. We'd play here for hours and hours
I liked spending the time with our families here. I know it's crazy for a filly to fall hoof over tail that young... but I did. SCREEN RIPPLES TO A FEW YEARS LATER WHERE BOY AND LILY ARE IN SCHOOL When we started school together, he started hanging with more colts, I didn't know if he wanted to play with me anymore, so I left him alone. When we began learning about Hearts and Hooves day lately, I thought maybe this would be my chance. But I was so frightened just to say anything, I blew it. SCENE COMES BACK TO PRESENT SPIKE: Gosh, you've liked him longer than I've known Rarity. I think that's pretty special. APPLEJACK: But if this is where y'all played when you were youngins, how do you know if he's going to be coming here? LILY PETAL: Because we've never seen the hill on a starry night sky. If that other filly from my class is going to be his special somepony today, he's probably going to take her here. SPIKE: So you don't even know?! APPLEJACK: It's alright Spike. How about we just go back here and see what happens? SPIKE: But we don't know if he's going to show up? APPLEJACK BEGINS PUSHING SPIKE BACK INTO SOME TREES APPLEJACK: There's a special thing called filly intuition, and I think she's on the right track. APPLEJACK AND SPIKE HIDE IN THE BUSHES BY THE TREES AND WATCH ENDING 1 BOY PONY AND TWIST WALK UP THE HILL BOY PONY: Lily? Wh... what are you doing here? LILY PETAL: Hi there, Hi Twist... There's something... I want to give you... LILY PETAL HASTILY HANDS HIM THE CARD BOY PONY: Oh... Another Hearts and Hooves day card. From my old pal, yeah, thanks a lot! What are you up to here? LILY PETAL: gulps Just... Never seen the sunset here or the starry sky... BOY PONY: I know! I was going to show Twist that! Are you excited Twist!? TWIST: I am! I can't believe I've never been up this hill before. It's so amazing. BOY PONY: Well, Lily, if you're gonna gaze we'll get out of your way. Hope you have a great evening! LILY PETAL: ...wait. BOY PONY: Yeah? LILY PETAL: How has... your day been? BOY PONY: Pretty great! Twist and I are seeing what it's like to be Special Someponies together! I'd say it's more for research than anything right now. TWIST NUDGES HIM BOY PONY: But I am very happy to be spending time with her! LILY PETAL: Oh... OK... Well... LILY LOOKS AT THEM WITH TEARS IN HER EYES Have a great night! BOY PONY: Are you OK Lily? LILY PETAL: Yeah... The landscape is just... really pretty. BOY PONY: Alright, see you later! BOY PONY AND TWIST LEAVE LILY CRIES SPIKE AND APPLEJACK COME OUT OF THE BUSHES APPLEJACK: There, there, sweetie. Not everythin' can be all perfect like we want. Ya did what your heart said, and sadly his heart spoke differently. SPIKE: ...I am sooo sorry for causing this. LILY PETAL: It's not your fault... It's mine. APPLEJACK: Now sweetie, dontcha get yourself all ruffled like that! You're young, so is he! Ya never know what the morning sun will bring. SPIKE: Gosh, if there's anything I can do Lily... LILY GRABS SPIKE AND HUGS HIM TIGHT AS SHE WIMPERS SPIKE: I'm fine with doing this. APPLEJACK: Now we should get y'all on home,
I'm sure your parents been wonderin' where ya been since school ended. SPIKE: I don't think she wants to leave... APPLEJACK: Mind carryin' her for me then Spike? All that extra work I had to do today on the account of Big Mac goin' off who knows where put a real bind on my back. SPIKE: Sure thing. SPIKE CARRIES LILY PETAL CROSSFADE TO LONGSHOT ON THE HILL, SPIKE AND CO ARE NOW SILHOUETTES THEY TRAVEL DOWN THE HILL AS THE PICTURE FADES TO LILY'S HOUSE AT LILY'S HOUSE, HER PARENTS NUZZLE HER WARMLY AND NOD TO SPIKE AND APPLEJACK SPIKE AND APPLEJACK WAVE GOODBYE AS SPIKE RE-ENTERS THE LIBRARY FADE TO INTERRIOR OF LIBRARY SPIKE: After all that, I can't go see Rarity... Love is harder than it looks. Hmm, Twilight's not home yet. I hope she doesn't mind if I write something myself... CROSSFADE TO SPIKE WRITING A LETTER SPIKE: Dear Princess Celestia, DURING HIS LETTER, SCENES FROM THE EPISODE FADE IN AND OUT, AND FADE BACK TO DIFFERENT SHOTS OF SPIKE WRITING SPIKE: It's your faithful student's number one assistant, Spike! I don't know if Twilight wrote to you today or not, but I thought I'd write to you about what I learned today. I know that you wanted Twilight to write to you about friendship, but do you think when a pony really really likes another, that it's also a form of friendship? Today was Hearts and Hooves Day, and boy there were a lot of couples! My goal today was to confess to Rarity about how awesome I think she is, but I didn't get to it. I instead learned more about what makes somepony a special somepony, and how easy a heart can be broken. Do you have a special somepony, Princess? Sorry if that seems really weird to ask. But what I did learn is that even if you are heartbroken, you always have good friends to stay by your side, and you never know what the future holds. So I think if Twilight hasn't sent you a letter yet, consider mine the lesson of the week. Your faithful student's number one assistant, Spike P.S. if you can teach me that spell to see into the future that would be awesome! SPIKE ROLLS UP THE LETTER AND BURNS IT WITH HIS BREATH A LOUD KNOCK COMES TO THE DOOR SPIKE: Twiliiiight?! Huh. Guess she really isn't home. SPIKE OPENS THE DOOR TO SEE RARITY STANDING THERE SPIKE: Oh... hi Rarity! RARITY: Why hello Spike, fancy running into you twice on the same day! Is Twilight home? I heard about what happened today and I feel just awwful. SPIKE: She's not but... Wait, you heard about what happened today?! RARITY: Yes, and I must apologize for my sister's... Rather rash behavior, even if it was for a good cause. SPIKE: ...your sister? RARITY: Oh? You didn't hear? SPIKE: Not really... I thought you were talking about something else. RARITY: Oh no no no, You see my sister had slipped some love poison to two unsuspecting ponies and ended up causing major problems for the town. I know that Twilight had given them the book that had the recipe in it, so I just wanted to give an apology so she doesn't get her hooves all beaten up about it. SPIKE: Well, she's not here right now... RARITY: Would you mind taking it for me Spike? SPIKE: Sure! RARITY: Here you go, a couple dozen bookcovers for all of her books. And... Well Spike, I was thinking of giving this to you earlier, but I couldn't find you. I know just how badly you wanted to talk to me, so consider this an apology as well. RARITY HANDS SPIKE A RARE RAINBOW GEM SPIKE: What... but... Don't you need this?! RARITY: Heavens no! I used plenty of this up today, and now that all the outfits are done I have no more use for them. At least until next year, but I know a good spot to find them. Anyway, please do tell Twilight I apologize. SPIKE: Wait... Rarity... SPIKE HANDS RARITY THE CARD RARITY: Oh, what a lovely card. Did you make this all yourself? SPIKE NODS RARITY: Well, that definitely makes me feel a bit better. RARITY KISSES SPIKE ON THE CHEEK SPIKE FAINTS RARITY: Have a good evening Spike. RARITY LEAVES SPIKE PUMPS HIS FIST IN THE AIR SPIKE: Yes!! FADE TO BLACK ~END~
