Spike, the baby dragon, belly-flopped onto his bed. He was upset that this had happened to him... He fell in love with somepony who would never love him back. A amazing prince who was married to the Princess of Love. Why, out of all creatures, had Spike fallen for him? It hurt to think that he never had a chance. Shining Armor was the prince's name. Twilight's brother, who she had adored all her life and Spike had secretly admired. But this was new...a crush. He had a silly crush on Rarity that had faded a while ago. Was his heart just sore and needed somepony to love, to fill that gap? No, he didn't think so. He actually loved him. He felt his face redden and heat up as the thought of the stallion came to mind. He was perfect. He was awesome. He was...married. The young drake sighed and teared up. Couldn't he had fallen for Discord or Rumble? Twilight knocked on his door.

"Spike? Are you OK? Scootaloo hinted me that you were in here..."

Scootaloo was dealing with a similar problem. She had fallen for her best friend, Sweetie Belle. She and Spike discussed their problems together. Shining Armor had Princess Candace, Sweetie Belle had Button Mash. Many ponies began to incorrectly speculate that Spike and Scootaloo were an item. The two had no feelings for each other. (Scootaloo didn't count the small crush she had on the drake back when she had just met him) What was worse is when Sweetie belle told Scootaloo that she and Spike would make a cute couple. She was hurt and needed Spike's confort. Twilight knocked again.

"Spike?"

The baby dragon sighed and got up to answer the door. His face turned pale when he saw that a certain prince was with his alicorn friend.

"Spike! Are you OK?! I was telling Shining Armor about the time you've been spending with Scootaloo! He thinks you guys could be a cute couple!"

The last words pierced the dragon like a knife. He teared us and slammed his door so they wouldn't see him cry. He collapsed on his bed and broke into a fit of sobs.
