Spike remembered, he remembered how it was before the exodus, before their deaths, before Equus fell. He was in Equus when it all happened. Afterword, he was put into Celestia's Academy For Future Cosmonauts. He was never actually good at anything in the academy. In fact the only reason he was put in it, graduated, and assigned to the Celestia was because Twilight had essentially been his mother and Shining Armor was the ships captain; but Spike was determined. He promised Twilight that he would find a new home for all Equestrians. Spike had promised her that, and he was going to keep his promise.

This is the April Fool's joke that inspired this story.
