“Who could ever love a beast?”
When Spike is rejected by the love of his life because he is a dragon, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to change that. So when a pony of questionable motives offers to change him into a stallion, Spike is more than willing to shake on it. However, there was one small detail that Spike overlooked: He must first find love as a monster; a beast of a dragon, within a year or he will be stuck like this forever… A beautiful Sparity based on the greatest love story ever told, Rarity and Spike learn that what they thought was beauty was only skin deep, and that true beauty lies from within.

Been waiting for this, I'll read it when I've got some time.

Sorry.
Talking to Flim on Skype.
Aw poor Spike, reading this made me feel really guilty for what I did in my story to AB. Can't wait for more
Honestly I read the synopsis, and the first thing that ran through my mind; "Oh god not another spike becomes a pony story." I kept reading and now I'm kinda intrigued. But confused a little, majority of the story is going to be about him learning to accept himself as a dragon, or is that going to be only a few chapters, than the rest is going to be about him as a pony trying to get rarity? I'm only asking because I've kinda reached my limit on "spike becoming a pony to win rarity's love" stories.
1163802 just wait until the next chapter, then everything will be clear. but no, this is not another 'spike becomes a pony story'
Spike doesn't realize that he has an entire town of ponies that are willing to break out in song and dance. Use that to your advantage, you fool!
But it was a good start. Spike's little song was hilarious
Can't wait for more!
Today is a great day Spike
Although slightly cliche, I will admit, the start was easily pictured! I'll keep tabs on this

Didn't even start reading lol, I was going to until my question was answered. So I'll start.....soon....
Great start so far I can not wait to see what happen next and how you fully use the storyline of Beauty and the Beast and transfer it for this story. I can not wait to read the next chapter that you post you are doing a great job so far.

Also very prone to going very wrong.
Only in Ponyville does an entire group randomly break into a previously unknown song.
I'm screwed aren't I. I found this appropriate.
That's cold man, cold.
1163896 glad you liked it?
A good story so far. I can't wait to read more!

1163901 Why are you asking me? How could I know how you feel?
1163928 just was wondering if you liked it or not
So is spike still small? or is it like the cover pic and he's a bit older? I'm confused...
1163959 he is small, but thats going to change soon....
This can turn into something absolutely amazing
Poor Spike. You know, the sad thing is, in about 90% of the stories i read, he just can't win.
Although... I gotta say, Spike's approach is always wrong. He should try coming at Rarity like a sir.
Get his top hat, coat, swagger stick, and turn his swag on.
1163974 aha... looking forward to it then... tracked
on a side note: poor spike, rejection hurts and the "if you were a pony i would have said yes" sure as hell didn't help
This is great can't wait to see more.
i love it
Thought of this the entire time I read this.
Ah...
I always enjoy a character afflicted with heartbreak.
Makes for a very interesting read.
A great story with a lot of potential. This was a great start and hope to see more soon.
1163941 Happy times are abound so i'm a go with yes!
1163277 Agreed
wow, at first I was like go Spike tell her how you feel, then after reading the part where Rarity says if he was a pony should would have said yes in a heart beat. I emotion went from OH HELL YA
for Spike, then to
Spike it will be ok.
I feel for him, like I have been in a moment like that, that's funny though considering the fact that I have never been a relationship before.
1167028 Well glad you like it! be sure to fav so you can see what happens next, the next chapter of this should be out soon. plus a track realy helps me out
your one of my loyal fans Pony Knight, and i know that you're gonna love where this is headed!
Ok this is what the first chapter says to me through this song
Spike wakes up in the morning, feels good that things are going to work out between him and Rarity. He feels confidant that, when he asks her out she will say yes. He gets ready, eats breakfast, talks to Twilight a little bit then he heads out the door. Hes rhyming or singing, gets the one thing that has always stood for love in most story's, but I wont say all of them but most is the Red Rose Flower. He heads to Rarity's shop with his confidence high and also his hopes. He Knocks on the door to talk to her, he tries to tell her how he feels, at fist she does not understand, then in his own way tells her how he really feels. She finally understands and turns him down, now the only that is going through spikes head is, what have I done wrong, is it because I am a dragon, am I not handsome enough, no the reason she does not love me, is because I am not a pony, I am a dragon, a dragon who she could never love.
That is what I got out of the first chapter, and the extra feelings I got out of it with using this song.
Please tell me if anybody or anypony felt or got the same thing or something else.
Let me guess. Blueblood is Gaston?
Spike, you really screwed up this time....*facepalm*
well damn... ok I'm hooked. please continue.
1167103 reading your comment with that music made me all cryee inside. and yes there are a fw ppl who feel bad for Spike
1167338 no.......... he worse
Finally read it....and yea my fears still remain!
1183897 your fears of this being a 'spike becomes a stallion' story? all i can say is that do u really think that i would do that? trust me bro. i got this
all fears will be removed by the next chapter
1183926
I trust none without reason! o.O
See I told you!! So yeah that wraps up everything in a nutbolt, this was considered a bit of a prolouge really. Now the REAL story can get on its way!!
Thank you my fantasic editor Bunsen, who edits things like a boss. You go girl! (and also Not Worthy, who has been more than helpful as well!)
also, thank you for making this my best launch yet! almost 500 veiws in the first week and over 100 trackers and 62 thumbs! thank you to my fans. both the old ones and you new guys. you are all fantastic!
Before I start reading.... DWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA @ message from author.....
you're totally ripping off Beauty and the Beast here.
i like it!
1209107 That was a bit off the point, that there would be a mix of similar and differnece to keep things interesting. and if you were refering to the "Who could ever love a beast" line, well i just could not resist!

Why must you talk about food?!
Rainbow the Teacup! I love it! Seriously, hope to see the next chapter soon and things work out.
Spike looks kind of cool in the picture.
.... you know what...everything was just screaming that movie, but I remained blind to it.... so... so blind... anyways i think I caught two errors.
"He ran blindly, sprinting pass the ponies in town. The odd mare or stallion would give Spike a concerned or confused look, but one pursued him."
I think you meant none.
I can't find the other one now, but you repeated two words that didn't need to be repeated.
I still don't trust you.... o.O Spike better not be a pony at the end of this our im going to be very disappointed.
