"Late night, come home. Work sucks! I know!"

E

Making friends is hard. Especially when you're trying to live up to seemingly unreachable expectations. Starlight knows this firsthoof.

Fortunately for her, Spike has a bit of wisdom to share that might just help.

Very sweet. Nothing more to say.

Nice analogy! I LOVED it! :heart:

7079133 Thanks for the feedback, man!

7079142 I had a lot of fun writing that analogy, lol. Thanks for checking it!

Nice oneshot. I like how Spike speaks maturely in the conversation.

A like from me. Keep it up.

7079159 Thank you, my friend! I've always liked to portray my own kind of character to Spike. I keep him canonically friendly, but also give him a bit more dignity.

Looks like a date to me.

7079151 No prob! Anything for a friend!

Great story! Please write more Starlight and Spike fics. :pinkiehappy:

7079178 I may or may not ship these two after watching the episode...

I did like the interaction between Spike and Starlight in the premiere. This really built on that. And Sunburst and Trixie? Didn't see that coming...

Spike and Starlight have a really nice relationship going, and this is a story that emphasises that bond :P Nicely done :twilightsmile:

I adored Starlight and Spike's whole growing friendship in the season premiere. I'm not sure if I ship them, but they sure are cute. And this is great! Even though I'll disagree by saying that coffee is just gross. I can't stand the stuff. :P Good stuff nonetheless.

Great take on some Wisdom Spike. Lovely use of analogies as well, and I loved it.

Have a stache' :moustache:

I liked it :twilightsmile:

I saw a small grammatical error though :P

But I still ship Starburst.

Very very nice. I liked it.
(And that Trixie-Sunburst thing? I can ship it x) )

Great story, bro!

Mother fucker.

Proud to say that I made this story suck a little less. Good shit, bro:ajsmug:

Cute little vignette.

Starlight and Spike really do bounce off each other quite well. Their subtle, innocent snark is pretty endearing, and you captured that well. :twilightsmile:

That was lovely and sweet. Though I prefer tea to coffee :twilightsmile:

It begins! Great job!
Let's hope for a better season.:moustache:

And more of this shipping! Just goes to show you, Spike, there are other/better unicorns out there, if that's your thing?!:trixieshiftright::facehoof:

And big ups to, Zecora. She can use more air time all around. In stories and the show. Hmmm.... more of, Zecora and Spike, ship too!:pinkiehappy:

Wow. Spike's pep talk with the coffee is something I'll have to store in my internal memory for whenever I feel bad about myself. That was great. Also, from what I detected, Spike and Zecora met up alone sometime about his feelings of insecurity. That piques my interest immensely.

defeat bad guys that make you look like a tutorial boss in Basements and Dragons

I like this quote a lot, but I also have a very, very tiny nitpick about it: the game you're playing off of does exist in MLP comic canon, but it's called "Ogres and Oubliettes" there. That tends to be what a lot of fans use in place of D&D in fics. Why the heck do I know this?

On an unrelated note, I do appreciate that the castle is handicap-accessible!

7079908 Thanks, sweets! I always appreciate your feedback.

7079905 Spike is a total pussy slayer.

7079854 Spike and Star meshed so freaking well.

7080113 And, the pussy is a plenty!:trollestia:

Sunburst and Trixie?

A stallion capable of appreciating the skill she brings to the table, but not capable of actually threatening her dominance. That makes an uncomfortable amount of sense. Question is: What does Sunburst see in her?

The interaction between Starlight and Spike was one of things I loved about the season 6 opener. And I loved how Spike cleared away Starlight's doubts about fitting in Ponyville in this story, too. They sure make an awesome duo.

This was a wonderful story to read, and I definitely enjoyed it.

After the season premier I was on the look out for any shippings between these two, since Starlight was such an awful character to begin with I believed the only way I could even give one iota of a damn about her was through a ship or two.

This will suffice to help change my current opinion, yet I think she is still terrible, she's just not dead to me now.

I don't want to ship these two... I really don't want to ship these two...

But they're so cute together... and thinking about it logically...

Goddamn it... I can't deny it anymore...

Heh... you know what? I buy this 100%. Spike and Starlight balance out really well as friends, as this nice little scene just showed. Thanks for a great fic! And here's hoping we get to see more of these two hanging out in the coming episodes of Season 6!

Fuck Starlight, seriously I hate her even more than Brad (not Flash Sentry). But this made me like her a little and appreciate the booming friendship between her and Spike.

Well done, brother, well done.

that's some analogy you got there that kind of works out with the sageness spike tends to bring to the table in the show. i think he would approve.

7082698 Spike has been through these things and used to be ignorant and arrogant, but now he's leaned a lot and has become wiser. Now it's his job to teach Starlight that life isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Spike went from student to teacher and it only took him 6 seasons.

Coffee is indeed wonderful. This was a sweet story and I'm really liking the friendship vibe that Star and Spike have going.


I now also feel the need to get a Starlight Glimmer coffee cup

Nice nice NICE!

You know, I learned something today. Something so important that I don't think I'll ever forget it no matter what may happen down the line:

I really hate coffee. In fact, I will never like coffee. I'm more of a hot chocolate kinda guy in all honesty.

Oh, and also:

Starlight blinked a few times. “Um, can I have a map to that sentence please?”

I'm stealing that sentence. No seriously, that sounds like something I would say. Thank you for opening my eyes to such a revelation. Unlike that coffee analogy. :moustache:

Starlight Frappe. Mocha Glimmer latte. If I liked coffee or went to Starbucks, I'd buy that.

I need coffee

I like the friendship between Spike and Starlight, which was portrayed very well here.

In truth, I dislike coffee pretty strongly. But the analogy you've made here is wonderful. Props

Also, more... Sparlight(?) plz. It's my new OTP

7311094 Check my new story, I'm Your Villain for new Sparlight :raritywink:

7311101

You silly, I already commented on that one too! In fact, I read it first

Coffee tastes more or less how chocolate without sugar would taste, both being ground-up roasted seeds that contain caffeine.
Still, it's nice to see an occasional story that doesn't super-glue the idiot ball onto Spike's head.

Personally, I think Starlight Glimmer could do well in a military or guard force once she got her issues resolved.

A few minor errors here and there, but a nice story with a good lesson. And I like the interaction between Spike and Starlight—I really think that should happen more often in the show when it comes back on. Great job! :twilightsmile:

Oh, and also: Triburst? Interesting pairing. What would Trixie be doing up in the Crystal Empire for that to occur? :rainbowhuh:

Analogies with coffee, never thought I'd see that
