Shatter purple heart

Heartbroken pt 1

It started out like any other day. Ponies walked around talking, laughing, or in Rainbow's cause, napping. This day felt different though for the local residents inside of the Ponyville Library, or in this case, Spike the dragon. The purple and green scaled dragon was mopping the floors of the library again. Spike has been doing chores all day long, and he was getting annoyed. It wasn't the fact that he was doing chores, it was far, far worse. Today was a special day. It was princess Twilight Sparkle's birthday, and her party was being held at the Canterlot Gardens, and he wasn't invited. To add insult to injury, Twilight had brought along her pet Owlowiscious, but not him. This annoyed Spike to no end, as he had kept Twilight sane, fought Diamond dogs, rescued Applejack from being eaten alive, he even save an entire empire from slavery, yet Spike himself wasn't invited to the Equestrian games, nor any of Twilight's birthday parties. Though he had grown accustomed to this, adjusting to it as something that his caretaker just does. What really bothered him was the late night dates, with the lavender princess coming home at around three in the morning, or the very next day. Spike had to worry for the lavender alicorn, not knowing if she may come home hurt, or come home at all, just because she was an alicorn doesn't mean she is above being hurt. It was unlikely but still a possibility. Spike sighed. 'These mixed feelings are gonna give me an ulcer.' .
The sun was setting over the city of ponyville while Spike finish up his chores. He wished that his beloved Rarity was here, but she, like her other friends, were at Canterlot. With a soft sigh, the teenage dragon who was wearing a purple vest with matching silk jeans takes out one of his favorite books and began to read. His thoughts was cut off when he felt queasy all of the sudden. Spike knew this feeling all too well, it would happen whenever someone had sent him a letter. The dragon burped out a scroll with the royal seal and an invite. Spike picked up and scroll, riping the off the seal, and read it.
Dear Spike
Thou art truly sorry for you not being invited to Twilight Sparkle's birthday party. She had informed us that you and her got into a little fight last week, involving her well being. We know how thou feels to be left out. That's why we sent thou an invitation for Princess Sparkle birthday party. We know thou are quick in flight thanks to your friend Rainbow Dash's teachings. We hope to see you soon.
Sincerely your friend/aunt, Princess Luna of Equestria.
Ps: I believe our score in the art of gaming is 10 to 10. Best be prepared dragon.
Spike chuckled at the last line of the letter. He and Luna had begin playing games ever since Celestia was either too busy or too tired to spent time with Spike. The two told each other their dark secrets, with Spike having a crush on Rarity, and Luna wanting to abandon her royal statute and live as a normal mare. Luna told Spike that dragon's had no limit to how long they could live for but even that didn't mean he couldn't be killed. Luna even said that the princesses could be killed just not as easily as a regular pony. Putting the invite in his pocket, Spike walked out of the library, locked the door behind him, spread his wings and took flight. It would take at least ten minutes to get to the castle by flight. At least he was going to have fun with the princess of the night.
Canterlot gardens: 5:40pm
It was that time of the year once again, an event so rare, that it would make the Grand Galloping Gala look like a kiddy party. The princess's birthday party. Normally, Celestia or Luna would celebrate their birthday every 100 years, and since Twilight was the newly crown princess, it was customary for them to throw her one as well. Usually the nobles would've been invited, but this time, nearly all of the apples and oranges family were invited. Also, Twilight's mother, father, brother, and sister-in-law were also invited along with all her friends with the exception of one. The only ponies that were of nobility were Fancy Pants and his wife, the supermodel Fleur-de-lis. The garden itself was decorated with streamers, balloons, and all things party related, all the components of a party from a pink party pony. There was food set out in rows on the tables from both the Apple and the Orange families. Normally at events like this the guests would be dressed up in fancy outfits but per the request of the birthday mare the party stayed casual. This wish was fulfilled by everyone except for Fancy pants, Fleur-De-Lis and many of the Oranges.
Princess Luna looked up at the sky, waiting for her friend to show. She was wearing a midnight blue dress,form fitting to present her b-cup breast, yet was cleaveless to preserve her modesty and her black stocking that rode up to her thighs. The most fascinating feature of her dress was how both parts of her cutie mark where visible showing off her crescent moons to those that wanted to be hold them..
"Who are you waiting for Lulu?" A soft voice spoke causing the moon princess to turn her head. A white alicorn wearing a white dress that showed off her A-cup breasts the Alicorns aurora mane and tail flowed gently with the nonesxting wind.
"Oh just an old friend. He should be here any moment now." She said and looked toward the sky that was heading towards ponyville, as a figure she knew was only five minutes away was present on the horizon.
Twilight was pacing around in her room. The lavender mare was wearing her princess outfit she had once worn during her coronation. She was nervous not that one of the four princesses should ever be nervous, but telling every pony that she had found that special pony, the pony who captured her heart, that was very large news. She felt a tad sad however. Twilight knew that she would hurt Spike by dating her. He would properly leave her forever if he found out. But worst of all, he'll come to hate her. The first pony she ever told was the princess of the sun herself. She advised Twilight to tell him before things get worst, but knowing Twilight, her second worst fear was losing her best friend throughout her life. She never told him, in fact, she has been dating his crush behind his back.
"Something the matter darling?" A soft voice asked. Her voice alone made the princess's heart flutter. Her purple eyes gazed upon her glory, the white long fancy dress with a sapphire blue belt on her hips, her purple main flowing flawlessly passed her shoulders, as her sapphire eyes gazed upon her. "It's Spike isn't it?" She asked, with only a nod. Rarity walked on over to her marefriend, wrapping her arms in a tight embrace.
"He had a crush on you, and I promised him not to tell anypony about it. I even told him that I would help him be with the mare he loves, and I betrayed him in the end. I betrayed his trust." Rarity knew what she was talking about. He had helped her when orders were piling up, comforted her when a stallion broke her heart. He even modeled for her, yet she had never felt the same way for him as she felt for Twilight.
"I know darling, I know." She said, placing her lover's head against her breast. "We should go, we don't want to keep them waiting." Twilight nodded and walked out of the room with Rarity following behind.
Back at the party, Spike landed in the middle of the garden. Luna was the first one to greet him, followed by Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, the rest of the Apple family, Babs Seed, Fancy Pants, and finally his adopted mother Princess Celestia, who, like the rest, were shocked to see the dragon present. Luna explained that she wanted to see him again, and that they have a tie to settle. Celestia wanted him to leave at once. It wasn't because she hated him. In fact, she loved her son dearly. She just wanted to spare his feelings, but specifically one feeling altogether the feeling of being betrayed.
"Where's Twi and Rarity?" Spike asked, looking around the garden.
"Spike listen." Celestia began to talk. "It would be best that you leave right now." The ponies around gasped at what Celestia had said. She wanted Spike to leave his own guardian's birthday party.
"Ummmmmmmmmm, why princess?" Spike asked, confused by what he had just heard. The only time she would ask him to leave was whenever she had day court to attend. Celestia only frowned in response. If it wasn't for her subjects, if she was only alone with him, she would've told him what has been going on between Twilight and Rarity. She would've comforted him, like the time when he cried during his infant years, not wanting to be alone. If these ponies hadn't been around, she would've acted like the mother she was and not the princess they wanted her to be. If only she didn't promised Twilight to keep this a secret. It also was tearing apart the solar princess.
"Trust me Spike, It'd be best if you..." Suddenly a bright light appear blinding all the ponies, and dragon. When the light disappear, there, standing in the middle of them, were the white unicorn, and the lavender princess themselves.
"Everypony!" Twilight began. "I have some news I would like to share with you all." All of the ponies and Spike stood there. Both Twilight's and Rarity's eyes widened seeing the dragon standing there. At that moment, they both wanted to leave. Both the alicorn and unicorn were afraid of what would happen if Twilight had spill the beans. that her friendship with Spike would end. Twilight looked at her teacher, who only nodded.
"He need's to know!!" Was what her expression shouted to her.
"A-As you are all aware, I have a special s-somepony. I-I-I have been seeing this pony for the past three years." Twilight announced as she began to sweat. Each word became harder and harder to say. "A-And I would like for you all to meet m-my special somepony." She felt bad for having to crush spike's heart like this, but it had to be done now. The princess looked at Spike with much sorrow in her eyes. As Twilight turned toward the white unicorn, their eyes meeting each other, both mares knew that they were ready...... ready to face the wrath of the heartbroken dragon. Their lips met, passion burning throughout their bodies. The ponies gasp with the exception of Celestia. The sun princess herself didn't care if ponies were watching. She knew that this act alone had already shattered her son's heart. She wrapped her arms around him. Drawing him ever so closer to her. Spike was already lost in thought as the scene was happening before his eyes. All those years, all the work he put in, all those long hours of digging through dirt. He even wore a bucking dress, and for what? For his sister to come in and take her from him. But then it hit him, the whole reason why Twilight had been returning home late at nights.
"I see." Celestia felt his arm trembling. "When were you planning on telling me this?" Spikes declared, his words calm and composed..
"We were going to tell you shortly after the party Spike. We never meant to hurt you like this!" Rarity stated. Her eyes showing her sorrow for the poor dragon........... The tiny, pathetic dragon that had lost his longest crush to his sister.
Spike nodded his head, slowly taking in this new information as best he could.
"So for three years, I've been working my tail off, comforting you when those stallions had dumped you, doing everything in my power for you to notice me, but you slept with Twilight behind my back, huh?" It was not an accusation, more as Spike had wanted to have these questions confirmed. At this point, Celestia had been surprised by Spike's reaction and let him go. He did not look angry, in fact, he looked very calm. That was wrong. He should have been angry, hurt, anything! She wanted him to show anything besides this calm and cold face. Spike switched from looking at Rarity to Twilight. "And you......... The one pony I trusted for so long, to confide my secrets to, had went on and fallen in love with the one single pony that I have ever wanted." He spoke, nodding and pointing his claw towards Twilight in understanding. "I trusted you, above everypony else. I trusted you with everything, you know that. I told you that I loved her, and you even promised me that you'd help me, but instead, you betray me? How could you?" Twilight didn't know what she was looking at. Spike's words held such sway, such pain, but his face, his voice these held nothing but indifference. She felt bad to hurt him, her own little brother.
"Spike.........." Twilight was only cut off by a green claw held to her lips. Leaving Twilight to ponder, 'When did he get so close?'
"It's fine Twilight. It's fine." His words were tender, caring, comforting. "I mean how could I have been so blind?!" He walked off, his hands flailing in the air. "I mean, Rarity's a mare, you're a mare, and I'm just a dragon." His claw covered his eyes. "A stupid pathetic dragon at that huh?" He parted his claws so that he could stare at the two.
"Spike it's not-" Rarity, this time, had been cut off by a slight gust from Spike's wing.
"Oh but it must be!" He took a step towards Rarity. Closing the distance between her and him in that one step. Muzzle to Muzzle he spoke. "I mean, three years... Three years! Of Spike take a letter, Spikey, can you help me? Here for the princess, I need a big strong dragon. How?!" Spike chortled. "Three years of smiles, laughs, and hope and you both must have thought it was a BUCKING hilarious! To see me struggle, working myself to the bone, to gain your affections, to perhaps find some love in all that toil, and you BOTH had known all this time, that it wouldn't happen." Spike took a deep breath. "A shame on my part then. I'm sorry Luna, but it seems that I'll have to cut our game night short today."
"Spike, little guy come-"
"Shining..." Spike's calm and cool voice had turned dark and sharp in an instant. "Don't." He said ,walking off to the edge of the garden.
"Spike Pl-" Again Twilight had been cut off.
"Sparkle..." That one word made all those present shiver in fear. "Don't confuse my attitude recently like we're still friends. You're dead to me, I want to make that clear. You and Rarity are dead to me. One more word... OUT OF EITHER OF YOU!, and I will not be held responsible for my actions this night." Another breath was dragged out from the collected drake. "I am going for a walk. Don't expect me home, tonight, tomorrow, the day after that," He spoke each word as he seemed to get ready for taking off. "or ever." Those were the final words he spoke before falling over the edge.

{Spike's P.O.V.}
I'm falling. I can't see the bottom, just darkness. Nothing but darkness. I haven't jumped yet, I can tell that much. There's no rush of the wind, none of the sting of frosty air......... Yet I'm falling? I wonder how long it'll be till I reach the bottom? Will it hurt when I hit? Am I still gonna feel it? Was I high enough so that I will actually die? Wait ,I haven't jumped yet. I'm just falling with the ground still beneath my feet.
Funny, just when you think the world can't kick you any lower, somehow it finds a sledgehammer and smashes the ground beneath you. "Honestly, I don't know why I didn't see this coming. Those late nights, Twilight coming with me to help Rarity. It was so obvious! I was stupid to have not seen it. Oh well, now I don't have to worry about that." The winds moving, the air is biting, and I am truly falling. I close my eyes. Waiting for impact, waiting for it to end, then my wings open up and I soar away.
