HURRY UP AND GET THIS FEATURED SO HE HAS FIVE STORIES IN THERE. (also because I said I wouldn't post my new clopfic until he had a shot at getting the five streak and I'm IMPATIENT.)

Edit to whoever downvoted: feelsbad for you it got featured anyways WHEEEEE

Let's get down to business!

Interesting story, honestly out of everyone I was thinking to pair with Spike Tempest wasn't on my list. I wonder where this will go, she might not be able to do much in just a month but she might be able to do something to help him mentally with his issues in that time.

Mulan reference?

Obvious joke

Spike the dragon trained by Tempest Shadow?...this is either going to be really awesome or really bad... and I cant wait to find out which:ajsmug:

Well, it happened.

I feel like this coulda have done with another editing pass though.

9339590
Cleaning through it now.

YOU

CAN

DO

it

9339630
perfect

For some reason as soon as I sough the title, I started thinking of that Mulan movie training song :facehoof:

9339791
What inspired the story, baby.

Let keep this train going!:moustache:

Oh, five stories by B_25 in the feature box?

Well, alright then.

Now I want some Szechuan sauce for some reason.:pinkiehappy:

Quite the inferiority complex.

Ya know a shirt fc about tempest Beaton spike into the dirt for a whole month, to e d with him managing to finally land a single punch back as the conclusion would be kind cool...something about it feels right.

Can Spike be dedicated on his training?

You're telling me, broski.

Well, if he wants to become a TRUE dragon, he just needs to brutally and gruesomely devour some ponies while they plead and beg for their lives, mocking them the entire time as they slowly die! And there will be no consequences, because he's just being a dragon and he's therefore exactly like a cat playing with a mouse... despite the cat not being a sapient creature capable of conscious choice... and so no one can say he was wrong to torture and kill things smaller than him!

...

Why yes, I did just read a fanfic like that (and hated it)! How did you guess? :ajbemused:

Hopefully this story will not tread such a dismally absurd route.

LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS TO DEFEAT THE PUNS!

I like the story idea, but I'm not sure if the conversation is written a bit confusing.
I think I got it right, but once or twice I wasn't sure who was talking.

I assumed most mares would have sprinted out of the room. I was half-tempted to do the same, but something drew me toward this dragon

How does she means that sentence? I'm only slightly dissapointed that she seems to already feel something for him instead of learning to love him which I hoped this time, but that is not ruining anything so far, which is why I only want to know how she meant the first part.

“But I still can't understand why you would choose me for this mission.” I wanted to stick my tongue out after having said that; some of my old personality still liked to show itself.

I'm thankfull for that, I'm rather reading lazy at the moment, but this story is fun and short enough for a quick read. I like the idea and how you write her so far.

I like it sometimes if characters like Temest are totally suprised in the end by being told someone is in love with them, because of who they are they are might not understanding why that is the chase and stuff like that. I noticed again everything like this I'm talking about, has something to do with psychology one way or another which I like to read.

This was good, but for my personal preference I think Tempest is already to interessted in everything Spike has to offer.

edit: Maybe it would help to have Spikes POV to in the stories, to know what he thinks or whatever once in a while, to show his feelings or thoughts on Tempest. I also hope this takes a while till they are together and that the story continues after they admitted their love for each other.

Something akin to this happens in the second or third chapter. She isn't already in love with him—only that his resolve is remarkable.

9343044
Alright then, this always gives me the feeling as if they are already feeling a hidden connection for some reason.
I guess I thought you planned to go the same route as other stories, but if what you told me is the chase then I wait and see what is going to happen.
I might have said it already, but the shipping is an interessting idea. I like this more than Rarity x Spike or many of the other main six x Spike.

A story with edgepone that is NOT a TempestLight fic? Alrighty then lets go!

The title of this story reminds me of a song from the Disney movie called Mulan. The song's name is called I'll make a man out you, or something like that. Were you going for that theme here?

Nice start! Very interested to see what comes next. I think I'll enjoy watching these two interact. :moustache:

Its sad to see so many of your stories canceled

This was an excellent writin'. Felt like I was in Tepest's mind.

Ah man why was this canceled
