Bats and Silver Linings
This was the night.
The night that he’d weather her fears, convince her to agree, and finally cure her. It wouldn’t be easy he was sure of that, but he’d do it because that’s what a good friend would do.
Spike shuddered as a voice so similar to his own whispered in his thoughts. “..A true friend would keep his promise.” Gripping the basket filled to the brim with various apples tighter, Spike stopped in his tracks to remind himself that this was only part of the problem...a problem he had a hand in letting get this bad.

Chapter 3: Just Like Honey
In the now vacant cottage, Spike looked at Fluttershy. The yellow pegasus already had one tear roll down her cheek. Her body was still trembling from Spike's shouting. It seemed as if she had something to say, but she was so shaken from the incident that even if she had the words, she would more than likely have more tears fall.
The dragon looked away from the mare, immediately regretting his action. With his scales on end, he spoke, "I-I .I'm sorry, F-Fluttershy ." Spike couldn't bear to look at Fluttershy, even for a moment, "I-I .didn't
