Twilight and Spike grew up and did everything together since forever. But following the events of Magical Mystery Cure, Twilight is now a princess. She grew up first. Spike realizes he needs to catch up, and so makes a choice to do the same.
All the while, there is a secret, one that involves Princess Celestia, our favorite little dragon, and a certain sense of heritage.

A very good story. And it's also a good take on the possibility that Spike isn't as universally adored as he is in Ponyville.
Hmm... so there is more to Spike and Celestia's relationship than just her help to raise him...go on...
For some reason i really want this to be spilight, too bad it doesnt have romance tag, still an amazing story.
I like it so far. I hope to see more.
So beautiful, yet so sad.
Oh, please, give us more.
This story addresses many problems Spike has to face
in season 4, especially with Twilight being a princess.
Spike is absolutely right. He has to strike out on his own. His role in Twilight's story is over. As far as am I concerned Twilight development as a character is over and we should all move on to more interesting subjects. Spike being one of them.
This chapter was so good and full that this story could perfectly be a one shot. Of course, i want you to write even more
I looking forward to see Spike's growth and see what he becomes.
i don't know if this is featured yet but i am calling it now just in case, but on a seperate note when twilight said she had a mental flatulation I almost died, just the thought of her saying she had a brain fart was hilarious
I wanted to cry just a lil bit.
Please. Moar. Now
Not sure if good.
Beautifully written
I wonder if Twilight suspects something.
Great, witty writing style, emotionally depth without overuse of sentimentality, and coming at a time when I was lamenting the lack of focus on Spike's relationship with Celestia and Twilight in fanfics.
So favourited.
This is an awesomely written story, I really enjoy the fact that spike is the protagonist, that it talks about the race problem in a real way. Because Canterlot unicorns are already shown as bigoted towards other pony races, it isn't even a stretch to add in entire species.
Favorited instantly.
There is one instance in here of homophones tripping you up: you wrote "illicit" when you meant "elicit". (It's in the section with Glory.)
Apart from that, faved. I want to see where this goes.
Absolutely awesome! I can't wait to see Spike tackle the world apart from Twilight. It seems just like something Spike would try to do. He wants to be everything he can be, so he can help Twilight even better. It's adorable and pretty darn noble, too. But I think what I like best is that he's actually doing this for himself, deep down. He needs to figure himself out.
Nice work. I'll be keeping my eye on this story, for sure!
Slept in lab. Woke up. Checked centrifuge. Amorphous mixture. Shrugged shoulders. Checked mail. Then FIMfiction.net. Saw own story on featured box. Determined many y'all to be one wtf short of a cuckoo's nest. Meaning, y'all be crazy awesome. Thanks.
2220883 First comment is good comment.
2220937 Acknowledged.
2220968 Up/downvotes emerged as a dichotomy of agreements and go-to-hell's. Impressive. Will say this: lack of romance tag not necessarily indicative of future developments.
2221026 Gratified.
2221074 Will give more.
2221145 Only because you said 'please.'
2221212 Hmm. Perhaps. Difficult to predict.
2221559 Agree to some extent. Still more room for Twilight's growth. But Spike was engineered for Coming-of-Age stories, hence have a certain degree more interests. But Twilight always adorkable.
2221572 Acknowledged. Amidst doing so.
2221574
2221578 Agreed. With gusto.
2221958 You display foresight. And glorious appreciation for small quips.
2222139 Tears are for men.
2222583 Patience is a virtue. Maybe.
2222778 Then use average formula =
-Eh. Ah've seen better.
2222910
2223152 Flattery. Powerful weapon.
2223270 In agreement. One of several reasons for writing this.
2223399 To be fair, not all Canterlot ponies. But agree that species difference creates entire tier of new issues.
2223473 Thank you for notice. Will fix. Here, Twilight approves.
2223685 Will now commence centrifuge of victory. Wait, oh sh--
Dude, this is awesome! I love Spike, and I LOVE stories that explore his character, his relationships with Twilight and Celestia. That you went with the "Twilight=sister, Celestia=mother" angle is so awesome. I for one look forward to your headcanon! So far, it seems spot on with mine! My story deals with similar issues, so I can't wait to compare your canon to mine!
Any idea how long this will be? I'm in it for the long haul.
2224178 Now i have faith with the shipping
Liquid pride was shed.

Spike understands that adversity is one's friend. That's what I was thinking while watching the original '80's pilot. The Rainbow of Light was getting its ass kicked by the Rainbow of Darkness or Evil or something, and the pressure it was under caused it to grow a pair, push the darkness back, and knock Tirek off his high horse.
Now here's a challenge for you: write something that I don't want to favorite. The only author I've seen who can write such deep, insightful, character-driven fiction revolving around Twilight and Spike's relationship is The Descendant. As in his fanfiction, Spilight (friendshipping) always deals with Spike making a major decision and Twilight coming to terms with it. It makes sense, Twilight being older and more mentally developed while Spike still has growing up to do. Although I wish I could claim I'm anxious for a bigger story arc for Twilight, Spike is simply a much more interesting character (or just the one I relate to the most).
On another note, when Twilight tackled Spike, I immediately thought of the fight between Mark Wahlberg and a short, stuffed Seth McFarlane from Ted.
Love this story!
Will it focus as Spike POV? or will it change back and forth between him Celestia and Twilight?
2224178
*begins chanting please Twilestia repeatedly*
*is shot*
If it does go romantic and ends up Spilight, could you age Spike up a bit? I find young Spike and Twilight rather creepy,
EDIT: Yes I do know lots of people find Twilestia creepy too. Shut up, it's different!
2224338 Brohoof, fellow Spike writer. Will read your stories once done with next chapter. Don't want to be influenced yet. Let us see if our Head Canons will clash or meld. As for length, the next chapter is the last, as this story is only a prologue.
2224341 Shipping has always been a test to one's faith.
2224412 That line implies there are solid and vapor forms of pride as well.
2224532 Thanks to you, the new girth of my head disallows entry into elevators. In all seriousness, though, The Descendant is unparalleled when it comes to writing Twilight and Spike. It's simply inspiring.
Challenge accepted. Title of story: Sexual Amorphism. It will be weird.
Can't stop laughing.
2226381 Last scenes will unfold from Celestia's perspective. The link between her and Spike will be explained. Not that it's anything complicated or particularly clever.
2226419 Will take request into consideration. Anyone willing to speak out in risk of figurative bullet through brain is worthy of attention.
Other than that, and the randomly capitalized words near the beginning, this is a great story so far.
2226554 Wow, one sporadic dislike already. In any case, my request for shipping should be ignored. Bronies on this site need a better sense of irony. I would be happy to see more of my prefered pairing on this site, but this story doesn't really seem the place for it or any shipping, honestly.
Holy shite!! Not a good first impression but that's all that can be said. How have I never heard of you before?! This was amazing!! There were subtle Spilight moments in their, and others that's just screamed "take me the wrong way!!" The overall theme captured in this, a dragon's tale of growing up and the hardships that follow, great. To have Spike face such hate, such contempt for his mere existence, and to take it, live with it, deal with it, I think he's already mature in a sagely way. Also thank you!! Legitimately to see Celestia presented not as a god, but a mother figure, one that has tapped into the "being" (shut up) and can view it with a smile. Too many times I've seen Celestia portrait as this composed, other worldly being, to see her in this light, it's refreshing to say the least. It also gave me some ideas for my story so thanks for that too.
"I'm gonna get stronger, smarter, faster, taller, and build a wider vocabulary"
hope to see more soon!
FEELS, FEELS, FEELS, LOL, MORE FEELS!
i'm diggin this story
i lost it at that part, i was already laughing my ass off but god that line so many laughs.
ahem, comedy aside, very well written, cannot wait to see what happens next, the feels no the sad ones, but so many feels from the characters, this is the type of writing i like most, the one that makes you see the characters in your head come to life very well done
a little rambling here
, so spike for next dragon king heir, seventh element of harmony, celestia successor maybe 
? next princess i mean prince dracolicorn?
god i feel bad for that last joke 
Note to myself: come up with a good term for spike turning an equivalent of alicorn and write a comedy story about it to debut on FIMFiction, prospects for terms, Dracolicorn, Dracorn, Alicornequus (mix of alicorn and draconequus)... i think i need professional help
have my thumbs up and a fav
Bravo. Amazing work so far; I patiently await the conclusion, as well as what follows.
Amazing, truly amazing wow! This is easily going to be what I would like to see happen for the beginning of season 4. Spike can no-longer just be the baby dragon assistant, time for him to earn some real growth of his own and really leave his mark on the world.
Here's to you Spike, make season 4 your time to shine.
Great chapter, feels from beginning to the tearful end. This story has EPIC written all over it.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next chapter, unless you decide to make this a one-shot than that's ok too.
Finnaly a good story with decent not out of character characters. I wanna see where this goes the promise is high along with my hopes.
Took me a while to get to reading this. I saw it was about Spike, and I jumped on it; he just never gets enough attention. It's been great so far, so I'll stick with it - and you - until the end.
I gave a thumbs down because I can't get rid of the thumb, and I can't tell if this will be awesome yet. Bonus for having Tia as Spike's mom.
I love this! I love how natural the characters are, like from the show itself. Deep meaningful conversation! Please keep it up!
Continue. My attention is grabbed. History is being made with each letter you type.
2224178
I haven't even read the story yet, but I felt this needed to be adressed.
Do you always talk like Mordin, or is this a one time occurence? Either way, it's awesome
You have been thrown onto my read later list, as the Codex Alera series have stolen all my reading time, but I think i'll give you a complimentary upvote just for the heck of it
You're writing. I like it, it shows that a much larger than life story will happen. I can feel it in my bones! Also as another annoying fanboy, I do believe shipping is part of a balanced diet of fanfiction... Or perhaps just to get diabeetus.
Best wishes!
2224178
Are you responding like Rorschach (Watchmen) on purpose?
Naruto? When did this become a crossover?
jk
This story is really interesting. While I will admit that I think some of the introspective moments for Spike and Celestia were a bit too wordy and poetic for my taste, I think the plot and dialogue itself are fantastic. Nice to see a mature approach to Twilight's coronation and her relationship with Spike.
Please keep it up!
Oooh. This is a very promising beginning.
So begins the saga of Spike's growing up!
I'm behind this 1000%! Great start for sure
2227026 Randomly capitalized words were not done so randomly. Attempted to denote conceptual significance to words. Can see attempt was ineffectual. Will try to refrain in future.
2227030 Acknowledged.
2227177 Am relatively new to site and fandom. Glad you enjoyed story so far.
2227367
2227685 Thanks. I think. Uh, what about drakalicorn?
2227718
2228202 Will address thoughts on story in next chapter and blog.
2228336 Hope not to disappoint.
2228542 Like white on rice? Gum under shoe? Brony on pony?
2228544 Sound reasoning.
2228637 Don't know about 'like the show,' but glad you approved thus far.
2228883
That, señor/ita, is fine example of hyperbole. But, thanks.

You actually replied to all comments?!
Well everyfreshy does that. Hopefully you still remain relatively active in replies.
2224178 I've never been one to make frivolous comments. And this story is a very well done view of Spike deciding to leave his comfort zone.
