**Rarity**: [singsong] Oh, Spiiiike? Are you in here? Hellooooo?- [beat]
**Rarity**: Spike?**Spike**: Mm-hmm...**Rarity**: Oh, there you are! I was starting to think you weren't here. I realize this is last-minute, but I've decided on a quick trip to the gem cave! I am on an urgent mission to find some faceted iridescence for my new design, and I can't think of anypony I'd rather have along than my favorite basket holder/bodyguard Spike.- [beat]
**Rarity**: Spike?- [beat]
**Rarity**: Spiiiike?- [beat]
**Rarity**: [echoing]*SPIKE!*- [thud]
**Spike**: What? Oh. Hey, Rarity.**Rarity**: Honestly, Spike. It's almost as if you haven't been listening.**Spike**: [blows fire] Oh, uh... of course I was. But just to be sure, could you say it all again?**Rarity**: [sighs] I was saying that I had planned on visiting the gem cave—**Spike**: Oh, no! Is that the time?!**Rarity**: Aah!**Spike**: [panting]**Rarity**: Of course, you're right. This is a bit of a late start, and those gems won't pick themselves.**Spike**: Uh-huh.- [doors open]
**Rarity**: But the real question is which basket do you want to hold? The smaller one, right? [laughs]**Spike**: Oh, right. Sorry, Rarity. Can I take a rain check on... What was that again?- [beat]
**Rarity**: The... gem cave?**Spike**: Right. Sounds great. But I need to get to the post office before noon.**Rarity**: [laughs] All right, very funny. Obviously, you'll get the bigger basket, and I shall—- [beat]
**Rarity**: Spike? Hello?

- [theme song]

- [gem clinking]
**Rarity**: I don't understand. For as long as we've known each other, Spike has never turned down an opportunity to join me here. It's his favorite place.- [gem clinking]
**Rarity**: Ideally you catch the gems, dear. And for a trip to the post office of all places?- [gem clinking]
**Rarity**: Maybe you should move closer? And why would Spike need to go to the post office at all? He sends mail by breathing! Breathing, darling! Breath mail!- [gems clinking]
**Rarity**: Honestly, Applejack, if you're going to fill in, you could make an attempt to hold the basket the way Spike would.**Applejack**: [spits] And how's that?**Rarity**: Well, for one thing, Spike knows how to keep things quiet so as not to waken the bats.- [bats squeaking]
**Rarity**:*And*he usually pulls me closely so no gem ever touches the ground!**Applejack**: [gasps] Rarity, Spike's been followin' you closely since he got to Ponyville. And in case you hadn't noticed... [echoing]*I AIN'T SPIKE!*- [bats squeaking]
**Rarity**and**Applejack**: [yelping]**Rarity**: Actually, Applejack, I had noticed!

**Twilight Sparkle**: Um, hi, Rarity. What's up?**Rarity**: Ugh! Besides my mane? Well, that is a question for Spike.**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh. Well, Spike isn't here. I think he's at the post office.- [scraping sounds]
**Rarity**: Again?! What is it with Spike and the post office?!**Twilight Sparkle**: Rarity, what's going on?**Rarity**: Spike declined my invitation to the gem cave, and I intend to find out why.**Twilight Sparkle**: Hmm. That doesn't sound like Spike. Did you two have some sort of fight?**Rarity**: A fight? Goodness, Twilight. What in Equestria would we fight about?**Twilight Sparkle**: I've had arguments with friends before, and they can put a real strain on friendships.**Rarity**: Well, certainly. But I think I'd remember if we had an argument.**Twilight Sparkle**: Maybe you didn't realize it? Do you think you could've done something that unintentionally hurt his feelings?**Rarity**: Well, if I didn't realize what I did, how would I know what I have done when I did it? [brays] I wonder if that's it. It certainly would explain his behavior. I must apologize!**Twilight Sparkle**: For what?**Rarity**: Oh, pfft. That's hardly the point. Poor Spikey-Wikey! This calls for a grand gesture!**Twilight Sparkle**: Okay. Good talk. [groans]

**Rarity**: [grunting]- [scraping]
- [clang!]
**Gabby**: Wow! That's a big crate of stuff you're mailing.**Rarity**: I'm not mailing it.**Gabby**: Then why are you pushing it into the post office?**Rarity**: Oh. I didn't realize griffons worked at the Ponyville Post Office.**Gabby**: Oh! [giggles] No, I don't work here exactly. I'm the official mail carrier of Griffonstone. Gabby Griffon. Nice to meet ya!- [rattling]
**Rarity**: [sighs] Yes, well, uh, these things aren't for sending. They're for apologizing to Spike.**Gabby**: Oh! Spike was just here. He went to go make us a—**Rarity**: That's perfect! It'll give me a chance to practice. Uh, you stand there and tell me if I hit the right apologetic notes.**Gabby**: What are you apologizing for?**Rarity**: Darling, I don't see why that matters.- [clattering]
- [gems clinking]
- [thud]
- [ka-chunk!]
- [deep boom]
- [music playing]
**Rarity**: [overdramatically] And that is why I simply cannot bear the thought of having hurt you! And even though I don't know what it is that I did, I want you to know that it doesn't matter! Because I am prepared to do anything to make it right! [sobs] And scene.- [ka-chunk!]
**Gabby**: [muffled speech]**Rarity**: Oh, sorry, dear. Here.**Gabby**: I said, that sure sounds genuine.**Rarity**: Well, of course it sounds genuine! It*is*genuine!- [thud]
**Spike**: Rarity? What are you doing?**Rarity**: Obviously, I'm working on my apology to you, Spike. I don't know how I could be more genuine. I mean— [gasps] Spike!- [zip!]
- [ka-chunk!]
- [deep boom]
- [music playing]
**Rarity**: [overdramatically] Oh, Spike! I am so sorry! Please forgive me!- [crash!]
- [cat yowls]
**Rarity**: [overdramatically] You have to forgive me! I don't know what I did or why you're mad at me! Just please say you forgive me! [wailing] Pleeeeeeeease!**Spike**: Of course I forgive you. But, uh, what are you apologizing for?- [ka-chunk!]
**Rarity**: Why does everypony keep harping on that—?! Wait. Don't*you*know?**Spike**: No, I'm not mad at you about anything.**Rarity**: B-But... But I don't understand. If you're not upset with me, why in Equestria would you refuse to go to the gem cave?**Spike**: Uh, because I had other plans?- [clattering]
**Gabby**: With me!**Rarity**: [gasps]

**Rarity**: I don't understand. You two know each other?**Spike**: Gabby and I are sort of pen pals.**Gabby**: Yeah! There was this whole thing where I pretended to get a cutie mark because griffons don't get cutie marks, so Princess Twilight had Spike send a bunch of letters off to Griffonstone about the first griffon ever to get a cutie mark! Which I didn't really have.**Spike**: Gabby wrote back explaining things, and after that we just started writing back and forth.**Gabby**: Turns out we have a lot in common! We both come from cultures that don't have the friendliest of reputations.**Spike**: [slurps] And we're both in the message-sending business!**Gabby**: Uh-huh!**Spike**and**Gabby**: [chomp, gulp]**Gabby**: I sure wish I could send scrolls with my breath!**Spike**and**Gabby**: [laughing]**Rarity**: [forced laugh] Yes... Now I understand why you didn't come to the gem cave. Having a friend in town is a rare treat. Well, since you're busy today, maybe we can do something tomorrow. Fabric shopping? I know how you love to pick out the colors.**Spike**: Uh, actually, now that there's a griffon at Twilight's school, Gabby's here all the time.**Gabby**: Grampa Gruff asks for a lot of updates about how Gallus is doing. [sighs] Speaking of which, I better get going.**Spike**: I'll fly with you.**Rarity**: Well, all right. You two fly along. I'm sure Spike and I can do something some other—- [beat]
**Rarity**: ...time?

**Rarity**: I cannot decide which shade of purple is the most royal! And there's the pink! How will I ever choose?!**Rainbow Dash**: [grunting] Too bad Spike's not here. I bet he could help you narrow it down.**Rarity**: He is a good sounding board, isn't he?- [muffled thud]

**Rarity**: [sighs] Could you bring the pincushion a little closer, dear? I suppose now that Spike's always so busy with Gabby, I'm just now realizing how much his presence has meant to me over the years.- [beat]
**Rarity**: Even closer, darling. I don't want to prick you. I have to admit everything feels a bit "less than" without him. Too close!- [thud]
**Rarity**: Oh, darling, it's no use. Thank you for trying. I'm just accustomed to the help of a small, highly attentive dragon.**Fluttershy**: Maybe you should let Spike know how grateful you are for everything he's done for you.

**Spike**: [snoring] Aah!**Rarity**: Oh, I am sorry, Spike. I didn't mean to frighten you.**Spike**: Rarity? What are you doing here?**Rarity**: Well, I realize it's late. Or rather, early. But I have a surprise, and I just couldn't wait to share it. The Great Gem Crevasse of the Crystal Mountains!- [click]
**Spike**: Whoa!**Rarity**: It is only accessible once a year, and I thought a little day trip would make a wonderful thank you for all the help you've given me over the years.**Spike**: Oh. But I'm supposed to meet Gabby today for her rounds.**Rarity**: I see. Well, there's always next year.- [door opens]
**Spike**: You know what? I'll just write her a note.**Rarity**: Are you sure?**Spike**: Absolutely.

- [gems clinking]
**Spike**: Wow. Rarity, you weren't kidding. The Gem Crevasse was amazing! I'll be snacking on these for a week.**Rarity**: What did I tell you?**Gabby**: Hey, Spike!**Spike**: Gabby! You won't believe where I went today!**Gabby**: Actually, I think I will. I got your scroll. The Great Gem Crevasse sounds a lot better than doing my rounds.**Spike**: Mm-hmm!- [gems clinking]
**Gabby**: Whoa! It was definitely better! I gotta get back to Griffonstone, but you have to tell me all about the Crevasse tomorrow!**Spike**: Absolutely! [grunts] Thanks again, Rarity. What a great day.

**Gabby**: Okay! Start from the beginning, because I want to hear everything!**Spike**: Well, to get to the Crevasse, you have to climb across a rope bridge because the air's too thin to fly!**Gabby**: That is amazing! Then what?!- [thud]
**Gabby**: Whoa!**Spike**: Sorry, Rarity!**Rarity**: Oh, no apology necessary, Spike. In fact, I was just looking for you.**Spike**: You were? Why?**Rarity**: Because I just acquired... these!**Spike**: Passes to Power Ponypalooza!? For today!?**Rarity**: Mm-hmm! I know we just went to the Crevasse, but I feel I've barely scratched the surface of expressing my gratitude for all you do.**Spike**: Uh... of course I want to go, but that'll be two days in a row we haven't hung out.**Gabby**: Nah! Are you kidding? It's Power Ponypalooza! You have to go! And now you'll have*two*things to tell me about!**Spike**: Okay! Come on, Rarity! Let's go!

**Spike**: Whew! Are my claws sore.**Rarity**: Indeed. I had no idea how much walking there is at a Power Pony convention!**Spike**: [grunting] Aww. I know I told Gabby we'd hang out tomorrow, but I might need the whole day to rest.**Rarity**: Whoo. I know what you mean. Perhaps you could, uh, just send her another note.**Rarity**and**Spike**: [grunting]**Spike**: [chuckles] I think maybe you're right.**Rarity**: Honestly, I might need to spend tomorrow putting my hooves up as well. [laughs]- [door opens]

- [knock on door]
- [door opens]
**Rarity**: I hadn't counted on Power Ponypalooza being quite so draining, but I thought we might spend the day recuperating together.**Spike**: No way!*Ogres & Oubliettes*?!**Rarity**: Well, I know how much you enjoy it. And this seemed like the perfect opportunity for you to teach me the game.

- [door opens]
**Gabby**: [echoing] Spike? I got your note! I figured I'd come by before my rounds with a bowl of energizing turnip soup.**Rarity**and**Spike**: [laughter fading in]**Rarity**: Can Princess Shmarity use her Shield of the Coiffure to defend herself from the purveyor of poor color coordination?**Spike**: Oh, she can try... Success! Shmarity's shield holds against the Green-Eyed Monster's attack! And then—!**Gabby**: Spike?**Spike**: Oh, hi, Gabby. We were just—**Gabby**: Your scroll said you were too tired to do anything today. But I guess you were just too tired to do anything with me.**Spike**: No-no-no-no! That's not true! I can come with you on your rounds right now!**Gabby**: I don't think so, Spike. Maybe I'll just handle the rounds on my own from now on.- [thermos clinking]
**Rarity**: Oooh! Princess Shmarity uses her Prismatic Beam to change that poor monster's color to a more pleasing shade of purple!

**Rarity**: What do you think, Spike? Solids or prints?**Spike**: [sighs] Prints, I guess. You already have a lot of solid colors.**Rarity**: Oh, you are so right. Prints it is! So nice to have you back, Spike.- [cash register rings]
**Rarity**: Although I hope you're able to reconcile with Gabby.**Spike**: I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to.

- [montage music]

**Rarity**: I quite enjoyed our day together today, Spike.**Spike**: Yeah...**Twilight Sparkle**: Hi, Spike.**Spike**: Uh-huh...**Twilight Sparkle**: Hmmm. I've never seen Spike this sad before. Do you know what happened?**Rarity**: [clears throat] Yes, well, perhaps he's still just tired from Power Ponypalooza.**Twilight Sparkle**: I don't think that's it.**Rarity**: I... suppose... it's possible it could have something to do with... [coughs] Gabby not wanting to spend time with him anymore.**Twilight Sparkle**: What? I thought the two of them were hanging out all the time.**Rarity**: They were! Honestly, it took everything I had to convince him to spend any time with me at all! But between crystal gem crevasses, Power Pony conventions, and a marathon game of*O&O*, I managed to get some time in.**Twilight Sparkle**: It sounds like you made sure he didn't have any time to spend with Gabby at all.**Rarity**: What?! Pfft! I most certainly did not!- [beat]
**Rarity**: Well, I... suppose I may have monopolized him a teeny bit. [sighs] I'd just grown so used to having Spikey-Wikey around, I wasn't prepared for how much I'd miss him when he wasn't.**Twilight Sparkle**: Friendships change, but just because Spike made a new friend doesn't mean he stops being yours.**Rarity**: I know, but now I have to share him! Which I suppose I'll have to get used to. [gasps] Right after I fix the mess I've made!**Twilight Sparkle**: Good talk.

**Gabby**: [sighs]- [door opens]
- [music playing]
**Gabby**: Rarity? Is all this stuff for Spike again? Wouldn't it be easier to just give it to him? And why are you even here?**Rarity**: I am here to apologize. Actually, more to confess. And all of this stuff isn't for Spike. It's the evidence against me!**Gabby**: Evidence? For what?**Rarity**: For my acts of utter selfishness!**Gabby**: I don't understand.**Rarity**: These are items I used to lure Spike into spending as much time with me as possible!**Gabby**: They are? You did?**Spike**: Rarity? What are you doing?**Rarity**: Well, obviously I'm apologizing to Gabby so the two of you can renew your friendship, Spike. Now please, even if you can't forgive me, you simply must forgive— [gasps] Spike?! Oh. I actually owe you an apology, too.**Gabby**: You apologize a lot.**Rarity**: I wish I didn't need to, but the more time you two spent together, the more I missed my time with Spike, and the more I used every means at my disposal to get it back. I am truly sorry.**Spike**: You really miss spending time with me?**Rarity**: Oh, of course!**Gabby**: I have to say, after not hanging out with you, I understand why. You're kinda awesome! And I know what it's like to miss that now, too.**Spike**: So, do you think maybe we could start hanging out again?**Gabby**: Absolutely.**Spike**: I don't suppose you'd like some company on your rounds right now?**Gabby**: I sure would!**Rarity**: Wonderful! I can't tell you how pleased I am that the two of you have— [laughs] ...reconciled.

- [pickaxe clinking]
**Rarity**: [whispering] I suppose Twilight is right. Friendships do change.- [gem shattering]
- [bats squeaking]
**Rarity**: [whispering] Of course Spike and I will always be friends, and I can get used to sharing him.**Pinkie Pie**: [panicked yelping, whispering] Sorry! I just didn't want to drop another one and wake the bats.**Rarity**: [whispering] Darling. Catching the gems is what the basket is for.**Spike**: [whispering] Wow. You two need to be a lot quieter.**Rarity**: Spike! How wonderful to see you!**Spike**: Yeah. Gabby and I had a great day, but I'll always still want my Rarity time.- [pickaxe clinking]
- [gem shattering]
**Pinkie Pie**: Ohhhh! So that's how it works!- [wings flapping]
**Pinkie Pie**,**Rarity**, and**Spike**: [scream]
