In an alternative universe, Spike's transformation went a little... differently. One where there were less princesses and singing, and a big heaping dollop of sarcasm.

Strictly for laughs, don't take it too seriously. Unless you want to.

Were there really any songs in Molt Down? I forgot.

This fic is based far more off 'Magical Mystery Cure' than' Molt Down'... :raritywink:

Got a good few chuckles outta me. Have a thumb. :moustache: :twilightsmile:

10386973
A thumb, a claw, a hoof... I'll take any of the above. Cheers. :raritystarry:

Poor Spike. Always getting used and abused, no matter what goes on in his life.

This was a fun story and so very like Spike. Very snarky and funny.

I don't doubt his friends care a lot for him, but he certainly deserves more appreciation... especially in the early episodes. :pinkiesad2:

And thank you, I always try playing to my strengths. You'd almost think 'snarky' was my middle name... :twilightsheepish:

I think you missed an italics tag/endtag

10387082
Oops. Fixed. I hate it when that happens. :rainbowwild:

it's a bit hard to know which character is talking a bit before spike appears :rainbowderp:

10387106
Just look at each line of dialogue following the last one... there's your answer. :twilightsmile:

:moustache: Me like
:duck: me too
:twilightsheepish: more books
:rainbowlaugh: the flying's just a start
:ajbemused: He's bigger then Big Mac break out the banjo
:pinkiegasp: and the whip cream
:yay:

And thus, Spike's Chad-mogrification was explained, and the day went on without a hitch.

I miss wise-cracking Spike! Fun story!:moustache:

Roll credits :duck:

Thank you. And Snarky Spike is a national treasure. :moustache:

“Oh, but that’s not all I’m going to do for you today, despite your current spate of rudeness…” Celestia was unimpressed at being cut off in her prime when she’d warmed her vocal chords up especially, but she carried on regardless. “How do you feel about… body modification?”

“W-What? Who’s that? Mane-iac’s newest assistant, or something? I’m a bit behind on the latest issues, so please don’t tell me any spoilers…” Spike had been bewildered enough by a lot of the big words Celestia had used, but this particular phrase had him stumped.

I’m confused. Did Celestia say that or not?

10387803
Yes she did. If Spike had said it, it would be part of the preceding paragraph. :pinkiesmile:

10387818
Oh. I thought it was said by a mysterious third character, but then I realised that Spike was confused by the term “body modification”.

Garble's in for quite a surprise at the Gauntlet of Fire. :)

10387820
That was the joke. Spike’s vocabulary isn’t quite as advanced as Twilight‘s. :twilightsmile:

10387830
Should be a more even contest, anyway. :rainbowwild:

Surprised twi took that better than i expected.

10387840
If Spike’s happy, then she’s happy. It’s not going to stop her from running loads of tests though, or writing a thesis which may run into a few thousand pages... :twilightoops:

Well, par-for-the-cause course) for this most weird of days, anyway.

Yeah. Have to admit, I REALLY like the exchanges, characterizations, humor and general wrap-up here. And, yeah, the alterations to Starswirl's spell causing Spike to go through the Molt a couple of years early AND get an additional two decade age lift was pretty entertaining stuff. The up side is that, once he learns to control that newly increased strength and flame breath and learns to fly, he can be a MUCH bigger help to Twilight and the others in their adventures. And yeah, the Gauntlet of Fire would probably go a fair bit differently here too.

Haha. That got a chuckle out of me
