While practicing transformation spells, Twilight accidentally hits Spike, temporarily trapping him in a colt's body. While Twilight tries finding the solution to turn Spike back, he has to learn about his new body, and a new bit of information from Applebloom that might change his life for years to come.
(Note: This is a story I wrote quite some time ago, and was originally published in full on DA a little over a year ago. Also, as a heads up, I know the first three chapters aren't exactly very high quality, they were written and published on DA before my editor became a brony and I was more comfortable sending him my stuff. The chapters after that though (4 and onward) are in better quality, I can promise that. Also, this is set around mid-season 2, to kinda understand why certain factors were left out.)
im suprised nopony has commented yet
I thought it was a very nice story. A little choppy in a few spots and some misspelling but over all it wasn't that noticeable.
This fic definitely needs more upvotes and comments.
I loved this Fic! I even found myself 'D'awww'-ing and some parts
I'd honest my like to see more fics from you!
This one needs more attention. It was very very good.
This is a good SpikeBloom fic but one of my complaints would be that you throw around the words "simply" and "small smile" a lot and that kinda bugs me.

My apologies about that. I've actually been trying to avoid doing stuff like that, esp. since my editor seems to agree with you on that, but I guess I've been having a hard time doing that since that's how I actually talk.
It was enjoyable enough a bit short but it was goo to me.
Surprise!!
Applebloom had perfect timing, revealing her feelings just as applejack comes outside.
Applebloom is a little sneaker...
Appleblooms gonna be PISSED if her coltfriend is turned back
Spike... Rarity DOESN'T LIKE YOU!! GIVE UP!!
This is too great of a story to not even have 100 upvotes. This deserves a fave
Nice story
I was kinda surprised to see how many views and likes this story 'didn't' get, but yeah, great job
/)
I liked it, but the overuse of simply just interrupted the flow of my reading. Oyher than that well done. I will continue reading
cool story bro
dang talk about friendly fire
well this should be good
3692780 I agree
also I've seen a few fics where twilight is treated as Spike's mother and the CMC or one of them love spike
would love to see more of those kind of fics
3694555 dude the fact that he's allowing Applebloom to cuddle him means that he has given up on rarity
love the how the story is going by the way, good work author
if the cuteness in this story continues, I'm gonna get either diabetics or a heart attack.
jk, great story by the way

I'm glad you liked it.
In regards to a sequel, I do have something brewing in my head about the matter. It doesn't exactly follow Spike and Applebloom though, but it will follow them pretty closely to at least keep track of what's going on between the two as time passes.
4004893 cant wait to see what you cook up my friend.
also keep an eye out for a story by me that will have the prologue and first chapter out within a few months.
*looks behind self*
me: "ulp guys help me."
doing good so far
reaction to spike calling twilight " mommy": D'aaaawwwwwwwwww!
Hey! You added Peewee! I miss that little guy. Wish the didn't take him out of the show all together. Great story by the way!
huh...damnit twilight
fuck.... now i want some frys
FUCK YEA MOTHERLY LOVE
can't.....breath......to much......cuteness...xP
4004893 Who is Twi's husband ?
5320852 I'm actually leaving that up to the reader's discretion. While I do have my preferences of who, I'm aware that everyone has their own separate opinion of who Twilight should be paired up with. Hell, if you want, you can even say it was a changeling, or Discord, or Princess Celestia if you prefer.
Note: I do ask though that no one starts arguing about who is best husband (or wife) for her in the comments. I did it so everyone could remain content, no matter who this spouse was, not give a reason to start a flame war.
3694159 so true I wonder how well this will end
Also....WTF Spike! Twilight was trying to be motherly to u and u got pissed off!? Dude that's a new low..
3694555 so DAMN TRUE IM SO FREAKIN MAD AT SPIKE FOR TELLING HER THIS U DONT SAY THAT TO A MARE!!!
At least she gets to snuggle him which is pretty cute
But not enough!
Why does Scootaloo have Twilight's dictionary, or even just one volume of it? Does Twilight know she has it?
Why are they getting so hung up over the mothering thing? It has exactly nothing to do with turning Spike back into a dragon; whether or not they develop a mother-son relationship is completely independent from whether Spike is a dragon or a pony.

I can't exactly recall what was going through my head, seeing it's been quite some time (the post date for the chapters here may say this story is 2 years old, but it's actually older since it was on my DA account for some time before I posted it here), but I suppose the reason for it was this:
Twilight's case was probably that from the perspective of a pony-Spike, it was mentally 'easier' to accept the idea of him being her 'son' compared to when he's a dragon, when they're visually different species, and that it was like it would be more status quo that they're not mother/son as it had been like that since they met. (At least that's how it kinda felt back then, when the concept of Twilight and Spike having a more mother/son relationship was a bit rare.) Spike's case is that he wanted to go back to normal again, back to a dragon, and Twilight is wasting time with the whole mothering thing, even if it was minimal, that would've been time she could've been spending practicing and perfecting the spell sooner rather than later.
Huh. Does anyone else hear a dragon screaming?
Warning Spoilers:
Awwww I wanted Spike to be a unicorn so we could have some cute scenes of Twilight teaching him magic. Oh well Earth Pony was my second choice and probably makes the most sense.
Still I don't know what you keep beating yourself up about. I see a lot of potential in this first chapter
How is applebloom supposed to learn about relationships if you are actively stopping her from doing exactly that? Coddling is bad practice apllejack.
