Sequel to Halcyon Hearts

Cutie Mark Crusaders Time Travelers, yay! ...Wait, what?

When older versions of Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Spike appear from the future, Twilight and her friends are in for the time of their lives. The Crusaders have gone back in time on a mission that may decide the fate of time itself! They are fearless, they are resourceful, they... completely messed up right from the start, huh?

Now it's a literal race against time to set things right, as powerful enemies from the future attempt to claim the past for themselves. So join the Elements of Harmony and the Crusaders of tomorrow in an epic story of danger, hope, despair, betrayal, revenge, love and swashbuckling high adventure!

Just remember the golden rule: Time travel doesn't make sense!

Spike is taller then he was, and later he asked Twilight to start paying him and having more rights. but she just says he's being ridicolus and runs off to the spa trip that Rarity promised.

Meanwhile Spike, who is filled with rage and anger for Twilight, runs off to Canterlot to stay with the princesses,but he also finds a mare with her son and daughter who are homeless, Spike brings them with him and starts to live in Canterlot. Although Twilight demands that he comes home, he says no.

So I wonder what it'll be like for Spikes new life.

What would happen if Spike was born earlier than in the show and was raised by dragons instead of ponies? What if his teacher told him to come with him to meet with Celestia and the recently returned Luna. How will the princesses and Elements of Harmony handle a blunt, sarcastic, and strong young dragon. And how would this affect a certain shy Pegasus who is afraid of dragons.

[HUMANIZED] As Spike grows older, he becomes increasingly confused and frustrated, unable to forget his past life. Perhaps his friends can help him find himself as friendship grows into something more...

First attempt at writing fiction. All constructive criticism is very welcomed, including insulting criticism.

Spike has always considered Ponyville his home, and has always held Rarity a special place in his heart. That is, until a group of dragons showed up after years of looking for him. After meeting his real family and hearing why he was brought into the ponies' care, he starts to rethink his old thoughts.

Now he only has a week to make a decision: either stay with the ponies who loved and cared for him most of his life, or go with the dragons and finally be with his real family. The decision would have been all so clear...

...if there wasn't another factor in the equation.

Much love to those who oversaw the story:
