//------------------------------//

Day 1
The forcefield that blasted all of changelings from the castle was now gone. But almost immediately after, there was a bright purple flash. Spike turned his head in the direction of the flash where Twilight used to be was now an empty space.
Spike stood there in shock just looking at the empty space until Cadance spoke up.
"Um where's Twilight?" asked Cadance 
"I think she may have teleported away," replied Spike helpfully.
"Well then we should search the castle," said Shining Armour 
"I'll never live with myself until i can tell her that she was right the whole time," said The five mares at the same time.
and with that all the ponies gathered at the ceremony split up in search for the purple unicorn that they all cared for.
Day 3
"Anything?" asked Spike 
"Nothing so far... we did a full sweep of canterlot and we still couldn't find her," said Shining Armour
Just then, Princess Celestia appeared at the entrance.
"Perhaps she is not at Canterlot at all," suggested Princess Celestia
"But no unicorn can teleport that far," said Shining Armour
"No average unicorn perhaps," said Celestia," but Twilight Sparkle is no ordinary unicorn. She has more magical potential than any other unicorn that i have seen in all my years. Why when she had her first magical freakout, her magical powers rivaled that of Starwirl the bearded. And now she is a fully grown mare, so i think she may have teleported a little further than canterlot."
"Well where else could she be?" asked Shining Armour
"Well there is a certain empire that your spell that was used to banish the changelings from canterlot has caused to reappear. Apparently love can be used to power the most powerful spells ever put on parchment easily," said Celestia
"Then what are we waiting for?" asked Shining Armour "Let's go find my sister!" 
Month 1 week 2 day 5
"Anything yet?" asked Spike
"Nothing... we've been searching for over a month now and there's still no results," said Shining Armour
"You can't tell me you're just gonna give up," said Spike
"Well what am i supposed to do?"asked Shining Armour "my soldiers have been scattered around Equestria, they are worn and tired out, and they have been searching high and low for my little sister. If they can't find her then no one can."
"But even so, you can't just give up," said Spike
"I know i shouldn't Spike but what can i do when there's nothing left for me to do?"asked Shining Armour
Spike didn't answer Shining Armour's question and instead walked out of the room closing the door gently behind him as he went to bed in tears.
Month 6 week 3 day 2
Spike walked around the crystal empire admiring the scenery. He moved into a suite in the castle of the crystal empire after asking the Princess if he could move. The library was now managed by Lyra Heartstings and her marefriend Bon-Bon.
Spike went to the local cafe. He ordered a tall Cappucino, Although it was a little too bitter for Spike, it helped energise him and forget about the issue nagging his mind about a certain purple unicorn. Life was tough without Twilight, Spike was forced to grow up in a world without Twilight where he had to take care of himself without Twilight protecting him. Sure Shining Armour and Cadance would help him whenever they could but to Spike, they were more like the aunt or uncle you only ever see in family reunions .
Spike lounged for abit before thanking the waitress and went off on his way to the castle to help out with some chores but not before he got a newspaper to read. the headlines were:
Mare found lost in forest has woken up.
Spike felt his heart flutter a little thinking that it might be Twilight who was found. Unfortunately, it was just derpy who always seemed to get lost.
Sighing, Spike continued on his way to the castle.
Year 1 week 1 day 3
Spike was woken up by a knocking on his door
"Coming," said Spike
"Spike we found her," said Shining Armour from outside the door
A moment after hearing the news, Spike dashed out of his room eagerly.
