Spike Sparkle was just your average teenage kid. He went to school, hung out with his best friends Thorax and Ember, and kept up on his art hobby. Just because he wound up in Crystal Prep Academy's 'gifted and talented program' which included a full scholarship to cover all tuition expenses didn't mean he was anymore special than anyone else.

But after getting bitten by a rather strange spider, the entire trajectory of his life abruptly changes forever and the average Spike becomes nothing short of amazing. But is he up to the new responsibilities he now bears on his shoulders? Only time will tell.

For now? He's got a criminal kingpin to take down with the help of some new friends who have come from some pretty strange places.

Spike has survived the strain of daily life to find himself empty inside. Proven a worker, a friend, and a proper dragon—that search for 'something' never ends. Finally, on being led by a feeling, he winds up before Princess Celestia without a reason.

It hadn't been too long since Equestria experienced its largest power-exchange to date, with Princesses Celestia and Luna stepping down to allow Twilight Sparkle to take the throne. A lot of crazy events may have transpired during that time, including the defeat of three of the nation's largest threats at once, but it didn't take long for Equestria to settle back to a period of calm, tranquil peace.

Unfortunately for the new ruling Princess, recent developments seemed to cause her Royal Assistant to have some issues that are difficult to explain. And after a lengthy argument which led to a blowout from the little dragon, Twilight was left feeling hopeless when Spike flew from the castle in tears.

Now it's up to their parents, Twilight Velvet and Night, to find Spike and get to the bottom of his problems. Will the Royal Assistant be able to open up to his adopted parents? And can the couple get through to Spike, and help him feel better about his insecurities?

Recently, Spike has been doubting himself. Nopony, not even Twilight, can get him out of the rut he finds himself in.

But perhaps the pony who took care of him as a baby can help.

This story is a sequel to Dragon's Mommies

What if Spike was found in the Everfree by Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash? Then after taking him in and raising him as their son, how would life with a dragon for a son be?

This story is a sequel to Dragon's Mommies, to understand what is going on, please go read that first.

Today is the best day of Twilight's life, for she has just succeeded in her dream of getting into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. But along with her new status as a student of Celestia, there's also the matter of the unexpected surprise that accompanied her entry exam. A surprise she must now introduce to her family.

Right after the events of the sonic rainboom, it is decided that Spike the newly hatched dragon is to be sent to live with his own kind, but with all the negative relations with the dragons, it was bound to cause trouble, the guard tasked with the transport of the whelp decides why risk his flank, so he flies to the Everfree Forest and deposits the baby. But he is unaware that he flew over 5 little fillies who all happened to making their way to the small village at the forests edge.

They see the guard leave the poor defenseless baby in the forest, so they retrieve him, but this has its consequences. Spike who started out with no family, now has 5 mommies.

Inspired by all the stories about Spike in other families.

Even the slightest changes in the past can have a significant effect on future events, case in point:
what if Spike was never raised by Twilight Sparkle? What if he was raised as a bonafide apple on Sweet Apple Acres, brother to Big Mac, Applebloom, and of course Applejack? What if his arrival as a hatchling had inadvertently prevented the deaths of Bright mac and Pear Butter?
