Quick Warning! This was the first story I ever wrote, and you can tell the quality within. The story has the chance to be remade, but I have no intentions to continue the story as it currently is. Proceed with caution.

Spike is a teenager now, no longer the small dragon he once was. He had wings, he could breath fire like a real dragon, though he never grew into the idea of gem greed. He's still the same old Spike!

However, ever since Twilight became a princess, and they started going on extravagant adventures all the time, he was barely noticed. Spike basically became a burden, something they "have" to take care of, not someone they "want" to do so. Staying in the castle all day long because those were Twilight's orders---yes--- orders. The gang was even bitter towards him, though he does nothing.

If Spike was lucky, every once in awhile they'd talk to him, even though it was maybe a sentance or two, but Spike was sick of it. He wanted, no, he needed to do something, and quick.

The gang are leaving to go to Canterlot today, and he has to guard the castle. A golden opportunity.

WARNING: This story is not in hiatus in the sense of no more working on it, but more or less remaking this story so it can look more professional, build up more character, and overall be a better introduction to a better story.

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.

Sonata couldn't believe it. She wasn't smiling, she wasn't happy, and was clearly shattered. She could only think of one solution: Jump. Finish the job. Besides, who would care that she's dead? Nobody liked her anyways... except the ones that cared.

Former royal guard, accused of betrayal. Pegasi seeking revenge for her lover. Dragon whose only treasure is faith. Prince of once proud empire.

The world is based on G.R.R.Martin's Westeros but it's not crossover.

Rarity was meeting with fashion designers from Saddle Arabia, Canterlot, and Prance at the boutique. As she was discussing buisness with them a young purple dragon felt like being generous today, and brought her an enormous cart of rare jewels and gemstones. What will become of Spike when Rarity disowns him? (inspired by the story "The Heartbreaker and the Cultivator")

Spike is taller then he was, and later he asked Twilight to start paying him and having more rights. but she just says he's being ridicolus and runs off to the spa trip that Rarity promised.

Meanwhile Spike, who is filled with rage and anger for Twilight, runs off to Canterlot to stay with the princesses,but he also finds a mare with her son and daughter who are homeless, Spike brings them with him and starts to live in Canterlot. Although Twilight demands that he comes home, he says no.

So I wonder what it'll be like for Spikes new life.

After reading Spike’s journal, Twilight discovers that she might not be valued as a friend by the young dragon as she hopes to be.

So following a series of hilarious attempts of Twilight desperately trying to show Spike how she really values him will no doubt entertain you! By the way, this is not a Twispike story or a shipping story of any kind. This is purely a fic about friendship. Enjoy!

TW: Eating Disorders and mentions of death

Spike's feelings for Rarity have grown stronger over the years. He feels like Rarity is just ignoring his feelings, for Spike, this feeling like rejection. This causes minor depression in the little dragon, but as the 'rejection' continues, it could lead to 'life-threatening depression.

Fluttershy makes a few appearances.

Spike has a nightmare. He grows into a monstrous dragon, destroys Ponyville, and burns Twilight to a crisp. Convinced he has to leave Ponyville before this dream can become reality, he secretly boards a train bound for the Griffonstone Station and resolves to live the rest of his life away from the ponies he has come to know and love. As night falls, Princess Luna must visit his dreams and persuade Spike that he needs to go back for the sake of his friends, himself, and all of Equestria. How far must she go to convince him?

This is a fairly dark fanfic is inspired by a short MLP comic titled Fear for the Future by Batlover800 and Charles Dickens' timeless story A Christmas Carol (although this story has little to do with Christmas I'm afraid). This was another idea I had buzzing around in my head that I just wanted to share. Hopefully, I can get it written before other tasks overtake my life.

After growing older, Spike finally gets to date Rarity as she feels he was old enough to do so. After about a year of dating Rarity feels as though their relationship is ready to be taken to the next level. Spike learns that the "next level" is to move in with her. Unsure about his decision he doesn't know if he wants to with fear of abandoning Twilight.
