Spike has been rejected by Rarity after helping her for a very important client and a fashion show. He disappears shortly afterwards, leaving Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and the rest of the gang saddened by his absence.

It has been three years since that incident, and the girls have gotten past the sadness, but still get together to remember the purple dragon every year. On this day, a new pony comes to Ponyville, and although he knows nothing of what his life was like, helps the group have more fun and fills part of the hole left in their hearts from Spike.

Idea for the fashion show goes to LordPlagus777's story Heart of Scales.

Spike moves to Canterlot City and starts his school year at Canterlot High. Most of the girls start falling for Spike due to his cuteness and innocent personality. The only thing that stands in the girls' way is Spike's older brother, Scales. In order for the girls to get closer to Spike, they'll have to to spend some time with Scales as he and Spike are inseparable.

(Note: Spike's personality is more childish and cheerful in this story than in the show.)

After Rarity says something that breaks his heart, Spike snaps and storms out of her boutique. Leaving Rarity confused by the last words he said before he left. Discord appears and decides takes her on a little trip through time to show her how Spike really feels about her.

This story takes place during the events of Simple Ways and after the events of Twilight's Kingdom.
