Princess Twilight Sparkle's coronation was a disaster. However, her ascension to the throne led to one of the most prosperous eras Equestria has ever seen. Thanks to that, she and her friends can live in peace and harmony in the land that they love, regardless of the distance between them.

But Twilight wasn't the only one who had to make big changes when she moved to Canterlot. Her assistant and confidant, Spike, is ever by her side. And unlike Twilight, he still has some unfinished business in Ponyville. Thus, a promise was made between himself and the Element of Generosity, Rarity. Now, five years later, it's time for Spike to fulfill that promise.

If only he was good enough to do so.

Spike has been a friendship ambassador to a faraway land for the last 5 years. He hasn't seen his Equestrian friends for that long either. The new world was not at all what he expected. The memories still haunt him as he embarks on a cruise liner bound for Equestria. What changed about him? Why is it so hard to face the ponies he once called friends? Perhaps the long ride would give him some clarity about what he really remembers, and who he remembers it by.

Story set long after the end of the show (but not the final episode). Just wanted to write a story based off A Pleasant Cruise , but I felt like it could use some more. Emotional sappy stuff is the main focus, so I hope you enjoy your heartstrings being played. Make sure you check out the other story to support the original work! Very good read :)

Spike has eaten the book of Inspiration Manifestation. The next day he accidentally casts its dark spell on himself.

When invited to the Grand Galloping Gala, Capper wasn't expecting to catch the eye of the princess of the night. And after a small moment between the two, he dare believes that there could be something more. However, a quick reminder of the past might make him think otherwise. But maybe, just maybe, he could be someone that Luna would like.

Why does Starlight have a crush on Trixie? What made her think this way? And should she ask her out or not?

Starlight has a lot of questions for herself and they're very confusing. Surely she should be able to find the answers to them if she just gets a second to clear her head. After all, she's the most powerful unicorn spellcaster alive! There's nothing she cannot do if she approaches it with a rational, reasonable mindset.

Probably.

Just being a friend is simple and safe, according Spike. He’s not cut out to be anything more than that: he isn’t the dashing hero that an amazing pony like Rarity expects and deserves. When a random act seemingly breaks their friendship, and when he’s given a chance to relive that moment in hopes of finding a way to fix it, he’ll discover just how complicated, and also how simple, his and Rarity’s relationship is.
