With Twilight away in Canterlot, Spike is left to his own devices. But Ponyville isn't the busiest of towns and before long, boredom begins to creep.

So to cheer himself up he decides to go spend time with his friends. Five stalwart companions whom he has known through thick and thin.

But Spike soon begins to realise that really, those are Twilight's friends. Not his.

In fact he starts to wonder whether, since he moved to Ponyville, he's actually made any friends at all...

(*2nd edition. Based on feedback, the final chapter and epilogue have been added-to to better reflect the contributions of the CMC.)

When accidentally stumbling across Spike's diary, the Mane Six discover secrets on how Spike feels about each one of them.

Flim and Applejack are a young, happily married couple with a beautiful daughter named Apple Cider. Applejack, now with another child on the way, was living a great and peaceful life with her husband and her little girl.

However, with the 25th anniversary of her parents' death drawing near, she begins to start feeling very uneasy. When her husband, Flim, gets a letter from his little sister telling him that she's ill, AJ begins to fear for the worse the moment she's told that he's going on the week the anniversary falls on.

She begs him not to go but he tells her that nothing will happen to him and if anything happens while he's away, he'll come back at once.

What started as a beautiful thing.... can end in tragedy....

Tagged Crossover for the heavy Dragon Ball Z reference (and a smaller one of Naruto). No characters from either anime/manga appear in Equestria, as I strongly believe that ponies should resolve their problems on their own. ;)

Rated Teen just to be on the safe side (it's a Dragon Ball style fight, after all :P ).

Rarity and Twilight were hardly the only ponies who noticed Applejack's increasingly inefficient methods. They were just the first ones who got her to listen. Getting them into the position to do so took more than a little finesse on the parts of some unsung heroes.
