Dragons are a reclusive species. Not often do the wild beasts be settling near settlements, and ponies clearly do not be wanting them. However, some are not so common in sense like the others. Gayl, a stallion with a wild passion for learning, always had dragons on his mind since he was a wee little foal, and as he grew up, he noticed there weren't very many credible research books on dragons. Being the scholarly, daring type he is, he planted his home base in Ponyville (infamous for attracting danger) and starts his quest to sate his thirst for dragon knowledge. But first, he'll need some willing volunteers to accompany him on his travels.

After all, to go where dragons be is a perilous life choice.

An unfortunate turn of events finds Spike changed into an Earth pony. Rarity unintentionally crushed his heart and now she has to fight hard to win back his trust, his friendship, and maybe something more.

The story continues with Curse of the Werepony 2

Don't know what the heck is going on? Then start to story right by going all the way back to the beginning with And Tootsie Flute Makes Three

Faithful knight of Celestia, Sir Spike de Draco leaves Canterlot with his young shieldmaiden Twilight Sparkle to embark upon a journey of stolen pony hearts, spontanious beard-sprouting, dozens of broken teeth and the smiting of evil left and right.

We are living our lives
Abound with so much information

We're all trapped in a maze of relationships
Life goes on with or without you

That's what I believe in until...

"Thou art I, and I am thou...
From the sea of thy soul, I come...
From the very moment of my emergence, I have been a guiding light shed to illuminate thy path...

When I heard those words... my whole life changed completely and one day I will find my truth...

Twilight's been dissatisfied with Spike's literary skills as of late, thus casuing her to give Spike a journal. He's not amused, but what can he do?

No matter how much he dislikes the thing, it's his duty to write in it whenever something of note happens. Little does he know that some very interesting stuff is to come...

An observation of what Spike could have wrote in such a book, covering all 26 episodes of Season 1. Also contains some pages from the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

(NOTE:This story was written when I was ten, but please don't let you turn that off! I think that the sequel, Spike's Journal 2, is better, but I am proud that I was able to gain so many likes at such an age. Enjoy!)

Now has a sequel.

The origins of Spike's birth has always been a mystery, and although he is content with his life, forces out of control have other plans for the baby dragon. The Mane 6 must aid Spike in figuring out who he really is.

Spike is an unusual dragon, and a hard working creature. Dragon infants his age have never been known to speak or walk. Dragons of any age have never been known to show loyalty to ponies. And yet Spike is devoted to a fault to his motherly and caring pony employer. Head over heels for a fashonista pony who's very being goes against dragon nature. What is so different about the only dragon to walk among the ponies? What does his future hold? And why does Princess Celestia seem to have a vested interest in him? These questions have itched the back of Twilight's mind for sometime now. And she may not like the answers.

A noble dragon is not decided by blood, but by fate. Celestia knows this, but as she thinks back on the origins of Spike's egg, she ponders the truth of that statement.

Spike is blackmailed by the Cutie Mark Crusaders into helping them get their Cutie Marks, when they find out about his love for Rarity. After a small accident cause by the four, Spike overhears Rarity ranting negatively about a certain "him". In the depths of misery, Spike begin's unintentionally spreading his sorrow to everyone around him. It'll be up to Rarity to bring Spike out of his pain and back to his normal happy self.

Originally written from June of 2011 to September of 2011. Before Season 2 aired, and how I would see the reveal of Spike's secret.

All his life, Spike has worked his scales off, sometimes literally. For the mane six, with no gratitude or thanks for what he does. One day, as Spike is about to go and participate in a talent show, all of the mane six dump work on him as they went off to a Wonderbolt show, and once Spike finishes the chores, also helping some of the citizens along the way. He then runs into the mane six who dump MORE work on him and run off to Sugarcube corner, Spike just falls to his knee's and cries.

The next day however, Big Mac calls a meeting with a few of the citizens and brings Spike with him, they all agree to hide Spike and cover him from the mane six, while he goes off to be what he should be doing. Be a kid.
