Chapter 1 - The Letter

At a home inside a tree in a town called Ponyville. A young dragon snored loudly as he tossed and turned in his sleep.

"Spike"

The young dragon didn't respond.

"Come on Spike, it is time to wake up"

"Few more minutes" The dragon whined as he started to awake and placed his pillow over his head.

"You don't really plan on staying in bed all day are you?" the voice telling him as it shook him.

"Fine, fine!" he snapped before removing the pillow off his face and yawn then meting face to face with his purple pony mentor/close friend/step mother Twilight Sparkle.

"Come on, we can't just let the day go to waste" she announced as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen with Spike slowly following behind.

"So what is on the agenda for today, Twilight?" Spike as he took out a bag of rubies from the cabinet, then sat on a chair near a small table across from Twilight.

"Well it is not what is happening today but I'm sure you are aware of what is happening tomorrow"

"Of course, it is going to be our first Valentines Day here at Ponyville and that is when Rarity is going to finally see the true me; the dragon of her dreams!" Spike spouted in excitement and eagerness as he posed; flexing his arms on the chair.

"I'm not quite sure if a dragon is what she usually dreams about" Twilight said with a smirk.

"That is because she doesn't know it yet" Spike retorted. Twilight only giggled and she rolled her eyes.

"Watch you will see, it will be the best day she will ever have and it all starts with the letter I made for her" He spoke before grabbing one of the rubies and chomped down on it.

"So you're going to give her the letter confessing your feelings for her?" Twilight asked.

"Well umm…no" Spiked nervously replied "The letter is just to ask to hang out tomorrow for Valentines Day and also I was going to let the mail ponies deliver it. But then when she accepts, I will show her and tell her everything!" he yelled once more but not as ecstatic as the first time.

"Well then one of the mail ponies should be here any-" Twilight was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Right on queue; I'm gonna go get my letter"  Spike said as he put his bag of rubies on the table then quickly ran upstairs as Twilight watched him for a moment before going to answer the door.

"Mail for Twilight!" A big yellow walled eyed, light grey Pegasus cheered as Twilight opened the door while balancing a small pile of letters with her hoove.

"Thank you very much umm…what is your name?" Twilight said as noticing she never met this Pegasus before as her mailer but seen a few times in Ponyville as she levitated the mail from Derpy's hoove onto a nearby shelf. The Pegasus only looked at her questionably then spoke "Oh um mail, Hooves, Ditzy, Derpy, doo, Derpy Hooves" She said while giving a salute and a wide grin.

Twilight looked at he confused for a moment then replied "Well thanks again, Derpy. Oh and my assistant has a letter he wishes to deliver if it is ok with you"

"Oh!" Derpy responded as she quickly looked in her bag. At that moment Spike came back down stair and to the front door. "Sorry I took so long, I kind of misplaced my letter"

"Muffin?!" Derpy yelled as she took a somehow freshly baked, perfect condition muffin from her mail bag and offered to Spike. "Hu? Um…sure and can you deliver this letter to Rarity" he replied a bit bewildered by the muffin but accepted it. Derpy took the letter and examined it for a moment before placing it in the bag and saluted once more "Problem of none!"

"Does that mean you will do it?" Spike asked. Derpy shaked her head up and down which made eyes seem to bounce around. "Must go, bye!" She yelled before flying off to her next destination.

"She is a bit odd" Spike mentioned as he took a bite out of his muffin and was delighted by the taste. "But her muffins are delicious, wherever she got them from or maybe made" he added while walking back to the kitchen.

Twilight levitated the letters as she went back into the kitchen as Spike followed her back as well. "True but she seem to be doing a good job as a mail pony, now lets see…bill, bill, letter from Pinkie about another party next week, and…a letter for you apparently" She said while putting down the other letters on the table and was only levitating Spike's letter.

"A letter for me? But who would send me a letter?" Spike questioned.

"I don't know. It doesn't have a name on it. It just says Spike" She told him as she moved the letter towards him.

Spike grabbed the letter and examined it and found what she said true; there was no address or anything, just his name in a finely written black ink.

"Open it, let's see what it says"

"Alright" he replied as he tore open the top of the letter and unfolded the slip of paper that was inside. He read aloud to contents of the letter. "Dear Spike. Meet me at Sugarcube Corner at 12pm tomorrow on Valentines Day. From your Secret Admirer" The words inside were also written in black ink and just as fine print as the outside of the letter was.

Spike paused for a moment then spoke "I got a secret admirer b-but from who?"

"It's a secret admirer. Your not suppose to know who it is until tomorrow"

"Hmm…maybe it is from Rarity!" He said overjoyed.

"Why do you think it is from her?"

"Cause maybe she finally saw all the attention I gave her before. Also the letter is written so nice and there is only one Unicorn who has the elegance to do that!" he explained.

"If you say so" Twilight said.

"Well I'm going to find out right now! Umm…if that is alright, cause there is no chores to do right?" he asked.

"Well the place needs to be cleaned up but I think I can handle that myself for today. You can go and try and find out if Rarity did send you the letter"

"Thanks Twilight!" He said giving her a quick hug before storming out of the house. "I will be back later!"
A small short story starting Spike and a mysterious letter. Can anyone predict who the admirer will be?
