[huffythedragon]

[There is a rustle of blankets and a half-snore-half-snort sound over the journals as one (1) baby dragon wakes up from his week-long sleep. The last thing he remembered was being at home, falling, and then he was going to...

He pauses, looking around. Okay. This isn't Equestria. This is Paradisa. And he's definitely not falling to his 'death' right now.

Oh, but then he remembers what happened here, what he did. He is in so much TROUBLE. He grabs his journal, not even noticing right away that it's almost empty]

Oh man, I am so sorry for what happened, guys. I didn't hurt anypony, did I? I'll do anything to make it up to you. And I'll fix anything I broke. And uh...I'll find all the stuff I took and I'll give it back, I swear.

I'm really, really, really sorry.

[DAMN YOU CAT!!!!

You've always had it in for me. It's because I destroyed your toy mouse isn't it?

Cats are worse than owls. WHY?!!!!.

Spike remains silent watching the journal. Maybe it HAD been undone? He wasn't sure if he should feel sad or happy about that. Maybe, maybe if he's REALLY quiet she'll forget he's even here.

1/3

[rarities]

[now that THAT'S dealt with ...]

I'm terribly sorry, Spike, did you say something?

[peers at the journal page ... oh, what is that tiny piece of smushed together text there?]

"I've ... always kind of ... "

2/3

[rarities]

[ ... "kind of had a crush on you".

... oh. OH.]

3/3 sob

[rarities]

[her first reaction is to kind of dismiss it as silly, but she thinks about it for a moment before saying anything, and ... well, the fact that he made sure to bring it up again means that HE thinks it's important, right?]

... Oh, Spike ...

[... she doesn't know what to say :'(]

[huffythedragon]

[Don't mind him, he's trying to smother himself with his own pillow.

Stupid stupid stupid.

Kind of muffled against the pillow]

Forget I said anything. It doesn't matter.

[Except it does. Oh world, swallow him up now. The folly of youth has claimed him]

[rarities]

Oh, Spike, don't be ridiculous; if it didn't matter, you wouldn't have said anything.

[huffythedragon]

[A muffled groan is her response. Apparently the world is not going to swallow him up today no matter now much he asks it to]

I know, and it does it's just [siiiigh] stupid. I shouldn't have said anything.

[rarities]

[a pause ... :c]

May I come to see you?

[huffythedragon]

[Oh no, he didn't expect that. THINK FAST SPIKE!!]

Uh..no! Because I...

...have a horrible, festering...thing. You really don't want to come near me, it's gross and itchy and you don't want to catch that. All your fur will fall out. Best keep weellll away so it doesn't get you.

The festering thing.

[rarities]

Pleeease, Spike? [even if he can't see her, she's totally using that cutesy eyelash batting voice LMFAO]

[huffythedragon]

[He can see it in his minds eye with that voice. CURSES HE CAN NEVER RESIST THAT]

...I guess so.

[Sweet Celestia he's going to regret this]

[rarities]

Don't go anywhere, I'll be there in just a moment.

[shuts the book! she'll be headin' over to his rooooom 8) give her a few minutes. .. okay like ten. maybe fifteen. KNOCK KNOCK]

[huffythedragon]

[He avoids answering it for a few minutes. MAYBE HE CAN PRETEND HE'S DEAD.

But, after a short while, he realises he can;t avoid this forever, so he opens the door, looking so very, very awkward]

Hi Rarity.

[rarities]

Hello, Spike. May I come in?

[huffythedragon]

Uh...sure. Come on in.

[So so awkward forever, shuffling back inside, gesturing for her to follow]

1/2

[rarities]

Thank you.

[nods ... and she'll glance around before looking down at Spike]

[rarities]

Spike ... I just want you to know that you are a very dear friend of mine.

[huffythedragon]

[Oh man it's the friend talk, the dreaded friend talk. Of course, he belatedly realises he'd end up getting the friend talk back home too, so he should have expected no more. Not that he was, anyway, only in his little imaginary world inside his own head

Man, he misses that world right now]

Yeah...thanks. I know.

[rarities]

[sdlkfjsd POOR SPIKEY WIKEY. :'( but she will lean down and nuzzle the side of his face ♥]

[huffythedragon]

[He'll accept that nuzzle as a consolation prize. He still feels like a massive loser.

Never gets the girl ;;]

[rarities]

[slkjsd DON'T FEEL BAD SPIKE ;; she looks a little concerned]

Will you ... be alright?

[huffythedragon]

[And now he tries to MAN UP and act like he is indeed fine. Because that's what guys do. He thinks. Shruuuug]

Yeah, I'll be fine.

[rarities]

All right ... [looks unsure though :( SHE IS WORRIED ABOUT YOU BRO]

[huffythedragon]

[He offers her a smile now, hoping it's convincing enough]

Honest, I'll be okay.

[rarities]

[well ... she's still a little worried, but. she doesn't want to be TOO nosy, after all, these are very delicate matters!]

Well, as long as you're sure. [smiles back!]
