This is a story about Spike, and his struggles to be included, and be a part of the "mane six". It records his thoughts and feelings on being forgotten, and his attempts to press on through these feelings. (One-shot)

*sniff* Oh Spike you have such a great heart. :fluttercry: Darn you Twilight! Be nicer to your baby brother.

I know this is a one-shot but I think maybe, MAYBE, you could easily do a second chapter. Say if Spike burnt the parchment as he would for a certain series of letters. I think maybe Celestia's reaction would be good to read. Many feels for Spike right now.

Curse you sad tag, CURSE YOU!!! Anyway a nice short read, great job. Best wishes, and I agree that perhaps a little extra would be a brilliant awesome gift.

This is why Spike really IS best pony.

Veil Of The Forgotten - Witch Mountain

To everyone who liked this... THANK YOU! I'm a beginner writer, and honestly don't have much experience writing much other than factual papers for college. So it means a lot that you guys have even liked this story! I kinda write these stories from my own experiences/feelings, so it means a lot that you guys like it. (Don't worry, I'm not a normally sad person, I just felt like writing a sad story!) Thank you all. :heart:

1235479 I actually had the same idea... But I think I'll leave this as a one-shot. I don't have enough ideas right now to truly flesh out what would happen if Spike accidentally sent this to Celestia. Plus I'm honestly not sure I can write Celestia as a character! (I don't really have a solid grasp on her...) Thanks for the encouragement though!

1235557 (Thanks! :twilightsmile: look at the above paragraph also.)

1235565 I think they should make an episode like this for Spike! He is such a :pinkiesad2: trooper, and honestly it could be an amazing episode.

1235808 Well that's fair enough I guess, such a shame though

Also in my experience Celestia's easy enough, remember she's very old, very wise and regal and her mannerisms are as such. She has a slightly playful side as is evident in Trollestia but obviously that wouldn't apply in this scenario. She'd probably offer some words of wisdom whilst reflecting on the fact that she is immortal and will outlive everyone, even Spike, so she'd probably sympathise with his predicament. It's sad just thinking about it... :pinkiesad2:

thats pretty darn good there fella. kinda surprised it hasn't more views or even a feature slot to be honest. this is quality work :moustache:

Well done. You depicted Spike's feelings well. The piece moves the audience and in so few words you accomplished your intention wonderfully.

In my headcanon, Spike falls asleep before burning this, and Twilight reads it.

Spike's wording was much more sage-like than what he would actually write; the idea f him saying, "I will be as the mighty oak, strong, everlasting, withstanding the march of time" sounds kinda ridiculous. And I've never liked the concept that all dragons live hundreds of years. The thought is just too depressing. Spike is clearly a different species of dragon from those we've seen, so there's no telling how long his lifespan is.

Aside from those minor nitpicks, I find myself loving this fanfic. Many bronies don't like to include him either.

Ever thought of doing a Spike fic of him running away?

:raritycry::raritydespair: why was i listening to sad music while reading this!

1235894 Awww!!! :raritywink: Thanks! If it got a feature slot... wow... I'd be blown away.

1236145 Thanks! I'm honestly not that good of a lengthy writer, and on top of that I tend to try to cut down excess words. I find that if drawn out too much a story, and a scene is weakened. (Honestly I WISH I could write a longer story!) :scootangel:

1235816 Honestly I've thought about writing a Celestia fic. But... I don't think I could write it as well, and honestly it would be really similar to this one.

Honestly I feel really bad for Celestia. While Spike may outlive maybe 10 sets of friends before he dies, Celestia is immortal. Honestly I think immortality without anyone to share it with is one of the worst curses ever... (Luna counts, but honestly, 1 other fellow immortal isn't enough to be happy forever...)

Really shows how Amazing Celestia is. To be able to keep her sanity and remain so... perfect.

1240195 Hmmm.... I will have to think about this one. I'll write it into my story ideas folder. :pinkiehappy:

1239506 Hmmm.

1. Spike being too sage-like.

Honestly... I thought the same at first. That maybe I was being a bit... too sage-like with Spike. :moustache: However I view it like this. Spike is around one of the MOST intelligent and bookish mares in all of Equestria (Twilight) and in addition to that, he probably reads a lot. Honestly I think I projected my personality on Spike a bit here.... I am quite bookish, and yet I speak like a "normal" kid (though I don't type like one :rainbowlaugh:).

The only times I really get bookish/sage-like in my speech is when I'm debating deep things (philosophy, etc) or when I get depressed. I guess I kinda projected my personality/habits on Spike a bit here. So, my habits+my idea of Spike's intellect level=Depressed Sage-Mode Spike.

2.As for Spike being a different type of Dragon, we never really saw any dragons below the "teenage" level. So It's possible that Spike's a different species, or that he is a normal dragon.

Also, this fic would love alot of it's emotional power if I took that bit out... :applejackunsure:

Thanks though! Love the input! :scootangel:

Oh, a gift to everyone who thought this fic was sad/may want more! 1235459>>1235557>>1235596>>1241232

The video/feelings that inspired this fic. (Warning. May cause you to cry. I still haven't made it through without tearing up :applecry:)

Oh, and to make you all feel better...

He is SUCH a awesome bro! :moustache:

1253975 Being able to get your point across with few words is a wonderful thing. I think for a longer piece you as a writer just need a story, perhaps an epic, to flourish.

1254031 :moustache:=best bro ever and that picture proves it.But I found the title of the book to be....disturbing.

1259064 Whoa! Spike... What are you reading? :pinkiegasp:

(It looks like some sort of horrible fanfic gone wrong! :fluttercry:)

This fic really needs more views, it was very good. I do feel bad for Spike, always being left behind and this made me feel worse about it xD

1523485 Thanks! :ajsmug:

If it makes you feel any better, It looks like Spike is getting more airtime next season! He's even in a musical number!

WARNING. SEASON 3 MUSICAL NUMBER SPOILER. :pinkiegasp: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! (Click if you like!)

1254038 Hey, I know this is a long time after you posted, but guess what. I have started writing a long "epic".

It's been quite well received too. If you want to read it here it is. Running from Twilight,

Currently it has 422 likes, and only 22 dislikes!

:fluttercry:that was so very, very sad:raritycry:
I only hope that one day he will accidentally burn with the wrong fire and mail the parchment to somepony instead

3052876 Hey don't worry! Spike got a lot more attention in Season 3, and he was even treated with respect in Equestria Girls! :yay:

3053369 yea, but still doesn't make up for a season and a half of being forgotten. least he will be able to keep the memories with the girls and "remember the past" together with Luna and Celestia hundreds of years later

3053369
Turning him into a dog... was not respectful to his character

3286539 My feelings on this matter...

I must say, that chapter title alone sits with me. 'Burn after writing' I certainly know that feeling, to get the words out so they will stop burning away at your insides, but to make sure no one else reads it so they dont give you a pity party, which makes you just want to end it faster.
I'm still not "better" but I'm a hell of a lot better now.
Now on to actually reading it.

:( poor spike :fluttercry:

*Gently strokes Spike’s back*

I kinda wonder that what if the mane six found this, like in his memories/dreams thanks to the help of Luna, or some how it just got transported somewhere else instead of burnt to a crisp. As many of you all know, Spike is still rarely used, and then he just got turned into a buff stereotypical jock, when he could have been more lean, and pretty sure he's at least more intelligent than most ponies. Eventually he could be smarter than Twilight

Mr. Parchment: another lonely writer that writes to me. it's Sad everyone else that writes me either is forgotten or very lonely that they have no one else to talk to. so they keep their feelings to themselves and over time it affects them where they feel worthless and like there is no one else. but there is one it's not much but sometimes reading what they say in the parchments they send me. even though I can't respond back I can't influence certain areas that can help them. but truly they must decide on what they're going to do next even I'm riding my feelings in this parchment. haha isn't that what I'm supposed to be something that could be written and later forgotten. soon I will write back but I would not send this no not until he needs it the most I can't believe I'm breaking one of my rules. whoever is reading this thank you for taking the time and reading this soon once everyone stops riding on my name I soon will disappear like the rest so thank you

Poor Spike-Wikey :applecry::fluttercry::raritycry:
