The Missing Link

Spike's Theory

A couple of weeks went by, and Twilight was teaching another class. "And that is how the changeling transforms into their new look." Twilight said just before the bell rang. "Wow, good timing! That's all for today, class! Next time we'll be discussing the seaponies and hippogriffs!"

"Oooo my favorite!" Silverstream cheered in excitement. Just before Smolder could leave the classroom, Twilight stopped her.

"Excuse me, Smolder? Mind if we talk for a second?" Twilight asked.

"Sure, Professor Sparkle. What's up?" Smolder asked.

"I need you to come with me into my office." Twilight said. "There is a large matter that we need to discuss."

"Errr, ok sure." Smolder said. Smolder was quite confused on what was going on, but Twilight felt very giggly and quite hyped. She even let out a small spark of magic from her horn. Smolder felt even more confused. Just as the two of them arrive in the office, Smolder asked, "So what's this about?"

"Welllll...." Twilight started, but she couldn't stop giggling in excitement. Spike was also in the room as he stared at Smolder with a grin on his face and tears in his eyes.

"I don't... I don't understand what's happening here." Smolder said. "Spike, what's going on? Why is Twilight acting like a serial killer?"

"Well... remember that conversation we had a few weeks ago?" Spike asked. "The one you told me about your lost egg?"

"Yeah, you still haven't apologized for running off." Smolder said. "What gives, dude?"

"I think you should read this." Spike said as he handed Smolder a folder. Smolder curiously opened it and saw a note inside underneath some pictures of eggs and blood samples.

The note read:

"Dear Spike,

We have researched the scales you have given us by Smolder and yourself, and after some testing, we are gladly to inform you that Smolder is your biological sister."

That is all Smolder read on the note until she fell backward, feeling light headed. Twilight squeed in excitement, and Spike just kept smiling.

"I don't... I don't believe it." Smolder said to herself. "What is this? This is some kind of prank? I'm not laughing! This is offensive!"

"No, Smolder." Spike said as he walked over to her. "It is legit."

"H-how... how is this even possible?" Smolder asked. "The egg! It was gone! The centaurs took it! I was never supposed to see you again!" Smolder started breathing heavily.

"I don't know how I ended up in Celestia's possession," Spike said as he hugged Smolder, "but all that matters is that we're together again. I never thought I would ever meet my real family." Smolder was silent, but her breathing began to calm down. Spike then looked up at her and said, "Hello, sis!"

Smolder started to tear up, as she crouched down and gave Spike a hug in return. "Sup, bro?" She asked. Twilight also started to tear up and hopped excitedly.

"OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH!" Twilight cried. "This is the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life! Spike, I am so proud of you! I have so many questions! Did Ember know about this when she sent Smolder here? How did Spike end up in Celestia's possession? How was he able to survive the centaurs only as an egg? Do your parents know about this? When are you going to meet them, Spike? We should definitely go to the Dragon Lands and find them, and-"

"Twilight?" Spike interrupted.

"Yes, Spike?" Twilight asked.

"That can wait." Spike said. "For now... I'm happy with this."

"Oh," Twilight chuckled in embarrassment, "of course, my bad!"

Spike and Smolder both started laughing as she put Spike in a head-lock and gave him a noogie. "HEY!" Spike yelled.

"I have ALWAYS wanted to do that!" Smolder said, the happiest she has ever been!
