My name is Canvas. I remember because I wrote it in the corner of the white box. It takes twelve steps to get from the cot to the wall. And the lights hurt my eyes.

(Note: The story isn't in color because I decided to try this without the gimmick! But I still recommend reading the GDocs version.)

No wings...
No mark...
No family...

Scootaloo feels alone. Every day she watches as the Pegasi fly over her.
Walking on the clouds, soaring through the wind, making their mark on the sky.
Never able to join them.

But is she really alone?
Sometimes, the person you need most...

Is the one who's been in front of you all along.

Spike would sneak out of the library every night and sit on the bridge between the town and the Everfree, just to think. More often then not, the night ends with him wallowing in self pity over the mare he love's. One night however, Rarity finds her 'Little Spikey Wikey' and she realises something of great value.

Applejack takes it upon herself to get Big Macintosh a date with one of her friends.

Upon eavesdropping on a conversation between Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, Spike discovers what his "true love" really thinks of him, and after reminiscing on his thoughts about it, he slowly begins to drift away from his friends. With sorrow and despair in his heart, Spike runs away from home, and runs into an old enemy that tries to help him out.

However, after realizing what she has done, Rarity begins to realize and discover that she has feelings for Spike after all, but can she save him before it's too late?

Spike finds himself in the middle of nowhere, and with no way of getting back home. For a journey this big its gonna take two, and Spike forges an unsteady partnership with a unlikely pony.

Embarked on a dangerous journey to reach his home Spike is gonna have to keep an ace up his sleeve, call some bluffs, and hope his companion hasn't stacked the deck in her favor. Tempers flare, teeth will be grit, and things will never be the same. Enough napping young dragon, it's your turn for an adventure.

Kudos, and thanks too my beta-readers xgfhj, Lium, and Dataguy who've been patient enough to deal with the multitude of grammar issues that plague my stories, and all around have been a great help.

Big Mac walks Cheerilee home after the exasperating antics of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and talk about the past, and maybe even the future.

I consider this to be my first complete fic, so all comments welcome.

(I can't draw for crap)

With everything going on in his happy life in Ponyville, the adventures, the fun, the lessons on friendship, Spike never took time to have any appreciation with his time with it all, assuming his life would always be this happy. Then that letter came... the letter that had it spelled out right in front of him that he was never supposed to happen, that he was never supposed to even live, and that Twilight must make the difficult choice of choosing her friend, or her princesses orders. As Spike finds anger inside him build up from seemingly nowhere, he storms out of the house, into the twilight of the night, tears streaming down his cheeks.

All the while, Rarity is there to comfort Spike through his emotions, his feelings, his fears that one baby dragon should never handle on their own. She begins to realize just how important Spike is to her, not just as a friend. As the days of his happy life tick by second after second, just how dirty is Rarity willing to get just to save a dragon's numbered days?

Sparity/TwiSpike Friendship

Spike the dragon always wants to help his friends on their adventures, despite his youth, but after he gets injured on their latest outing, Twilight refuses to let him accompany her on a task from Princess Celestia in an attempt to protect him. Little do they know, a dire threat hangs over Ponyville, and has already made plans to get divert the Mane Six's attention from the real peril at hoof. Can Spike save the residents of Ponyville and deal with his own feelings of inadequacy before his friends fall into a trap?

Luna, feeling overwhelmed by the emotions from happy couples at the Nightmare NIght dance, flees the town. Arriving at Sweet Apple Acres, Luna meets Big Macintosh.
