A True True Friend? Suggestions · 5:17pm Apr 10th, 2014
I wanna thank all of you who favorited and liked A True True Friend?, but after seeing some comments, I realize there's much more I could do with it, one-shot though it is. It's true that the rock candy necklaces, even if they are a sign of true friendship, isn't enough to quell all the pain Spike's gone through, even if Twilight said it was only a start. That's why I want to put it to you to suggest what I could add. Suggestions from the Main 6 to Spike for how they intend to make it up to him, like Pinkie baking a jewel cake with him or something. Things you think could give more reason for Spike to forgive them in a more natural way.
I still need to read your story.
Why must my life be busy at THIS moment?!?!?!?!
I say it's great as is. The story was touching and got the point across, that while, Spike may be neglected sometime or a lot, that he is still loved and they will try harder to prove that to him.
I don't recommend changing anything. But if you feel like you need to write more, might I suggest an "Epilogue".
Spike, writing a letter to, Princess Luna, about how things have been going since, Spike and the Mane 6, had their talk.
Would be a good Friendship report that would go to, Celestia, but will be given to, Luna and read out loud so her sister can hear what's been happening with Spike. You know, because we have no idea how much they really talk to each other! But I would say a lot more than the show would say.
So yeah. Epilogue this story! Can't go wrong there.
1997561 Sounds great! I'm just clean the original up to reflect that, then make the epilogue, and we should be good to go
Fluttershy and Spike going in a nature trail.
Rainbow Dash and Spike going flying.
AJ asking for Spike's assistance in the farm.
Things like that.
I know it's a bit late here's a few suggestions...just in case:
Twilight confronts Cadence about not inviting Spike to the Crystal Empire, feeling guilty Cadence decides to make up to Spike by inviting to go with her on a trip (which quickly turns into a mini adventure) to find a birthday present for Shining Armor.
While taking Spike to visit Peewee, both Fluttershy and Spike come across some poachers and try to fend them off.
Twilight takes Spike on a camping trip with Shining Armor and the three form an even deeper bond.
