This story is a sequel to You're Not Fine

Friendship is a give-and-take relationship. Fortunately for you, Pinkie doesn't ask for much, and she has plenty to give.
Maybe it's time to start giving back.

Spike sets off on a solo camping trip as a vacation given to him by Twilight Sparkle for being such a hard worker, when he sees an unexpected face.

Maud Pie, Pinkie’s more serious and stony-faced (pun intended) sister, shows up at his house bearing gifts for him for the trip.

Spike knows Maud well enough that she’s trying to be nice, but why? Why is she? She hardly even knows him.

Or does she...?

Anon is dragged into Equestria by the effects of a mysterious idol belonging to Discord. He is soon discovered by Princess Celestia, Twilight, and Fluttershy, without any memory of how to speak or write clearly, or his past. Fluttershy then volunteers to watch over Anon until the princesses decide on further action. What follows is Anon's attempts at making a new life for himself alongside Fluttershy and her friends.

Featured as of 11/13/2017- Holy moly! A hearty thank-you to everyone who has joined me for the story so far, and a warm welcome to everyone who has yet to hop on board. Enjoy.

Edit as of 2022: Marked as cancelled as a courtesy to anyone who finds this. Between grad school and depression, I lost what direction I had to keep up with the story as intended. There isn't any intention to keep working on it, but I can't bring myself to delete it outright. Please take it as you will, and accept my sincerest apologies that it took so long to make clear.

After years of getting shot down by the famous fashionista, Rarity, Spike decides to give up hope on ever finding love...that is, until he learns of Twilight's true feelings for him.

When she makes a move on Spike, unknowing of his and Twilight's relationship, tension rises and relationships break. Now, will Rarity be able to fix what has been broken before lives are changed forever?

Spike decided to pack his things and disappear completely to get a fresh start on life, under the name of Jack Drake. When his past comes back to haunt him, will he be able to keep up the facade? He makes his own business as a private investigator. When the Mane 6 hire him, what's his case? Why did they come to him of all people?
