Spike finds himself in the middle of nowhere, and with no way of getting back home. For a journey this big its gonna take two, and Spike forges an unsteady partnership with a unlikely pony.

Embarked on a dangerous journey to reach his home Spike is gonna have to keep an ace up his sleeve, call some bluffs, and hope his companion hasn't stacked the deck in her favor. Tempers flare, teeth will be grit, and things will never be the same. Enough napping young dragon, it's your turn for an adventure.

Kudos, and thanks too my beta-readers xgfhj, Lium, and Dataguy who've been patient enough to deal with the multitude of grammar issues that plague my stories, and all around have been a great help.

The third and final episode of the Gems Trilogy.

It’s been three months since the events of The Sweetest Gem and The Gemmed Satyr, and frankly, everypony is emotionally on edge.

Can Fluttershy stomach up the courage to tell Rarity what she really wants out of their relationship more than anything else? When Rainbow Dash finds out a dark secret about Applejack’s boyfriend Caramel, will she prevail when her conscience can't decide whether she should tell her friend?

Does Sweetie Belle really have good reason to worry about her future with Spike, and his faithfulness to her? And just why has Pinkie Pie been so keen to hang out with Twilight lately, and what's this she keeps spouting about the 'prophecies coming true'?

But these are only the roots of their problems. Trouble is brewing. Strange things are happening all over Equestria, one of the royal sisters has mysteriously disappeared, a familiar evil is about to rise again, and the fate of all the hearts in Equestria will lie in six ponies’ own troubled hearts as well as a mystical field talked about only in myth.

(Spyro seriesXmlp) Spyro, Cynder and Ember are accidently brought to Equestria by one of Twilight's failed spells, and with no quick way back to the Dragon Realms the three find themselves stuck in Ponyville and being housed by none other than Spike and the lavender unicorn mare herself.

Soon awkward and unusual situations arise, tempers flare with destructive consequences, and Spike learns that sometimes if you wait long enough, love will find you.

The second episode of The Gems Trilogy, and the direct sequel to The Sweetest Gem. Rated Teen for strong language and sexual implications.

Rarity becomes desperate to find her special somepony once and for all as an air of romance in Ponyville continually surrounds her. But little does she know that her own best friend has been secretly harboring a crush on her for a very long time.

This story is told from the perspectives of both Rarity and Fluttershy, and will alternate between their POV's by chapter, with occasional third-party narration and multi-POV chapters to extend the story further.

What happens when you realize that your feelings for one of your friends aren't quite the same as your feelings for the rest of them?  Do you just prefer some friends for others, or is it a sign of something deeper? What do you do with those feelings?  Hide them?  Admit them?  And how will the rest of your friends react when they find out?

Twilight is going to have to do her best to find the answers, because they're anything but obvious.

------

Yes, this is a story about romance, but I'm trying to use it to explore the relationships between the characters and see how they'd really react if romantic feelings ever did crop up, and how such a development would impact the cast as a whole.  This isn't a cutesy fluff story, despite what the cover image might look like. :p

Now with a TvTropes page!

Despite having reservations about this mute pony, Spike and his friends welcome her into their group.
