It was a slow day in the Friendship Palace, and Twilight and her friends were getting tired of having nothing to do. But then, in walks Spike, and as the mares see him just doing what he loves on his day off, they come to realise that, quite frankly, there are things they could be doing right now.

(Collab with yodajax10 who suggested the idea. Takes place during and immediately after the events of "The Mean Six".)

When Twilight starts to pack for a camping trip with her friends, Spike volunteers not to come along and instead stay behind and manage the school and Twilight's castle.

However, the little dragon is crushed when he finds out that Starlight will be going on the camping trip as well. All alone and with no friends to spend the weekend, Spike isn't sure what he's going to do.

That is, until he gets an idea and writes a letter to Princess Luna. Now, Spike will spend the weekend with two very special (and very familiar) guests. And they'll be more helpful than they might suspect.

Shortly after getting his wings, Spike decides he doesn't know enough about his own kind, and goes off to the Dragon Lands for a little vacation. His absence is keenly felt, which is why Twilight has six unwilling volunteers in mind to fill his role...

This'll definitely end well.

(Takes place immediately after the events of "Molt Down", so obviously it will contain some spoilers. Proofread and edited by yodajax10.)

Having completed his molting phase, Spike's scales now come with a pair of wings that allow him to fly. But Smolder soon blabs to Twilight that her fellow dragon is having trouble mastering his new wings, and needs to learn how.

Fortunately, Twilight decides to sign Spike up for flying lessons with Rainbow Dash, much like when she was learning how to master her wings. And after a bit of pleading, Rainbow agrees.

But what will happen when Twilight decides to get in on the lessons as well? And more importantly, will Spike be able to master his new wings without constantly crash landing? Plus, what reason does Twilight have for getting involved?

After the events of Molt Down, Spike's friends have thrown a big surprise party in honour of his new wings, and everypony is so pleased for him! There is one guest there who isn't so happy, though. Time for a little heart-to-heart...

Contains spoilers for the latest episode, obviously.

With his molt over, Spike can finally join his airborne friends in the sky, and he’s a natural! All of his friends are absolutely ecstatic for him.

Well… maybe not all of them…

(Collab with yodajax10 who suggested the idea. Takes place immediately after "Horse Play".)

After witnessing Spike go out there and stall for time in an important play, Princess Luna becomes concerned about the adverse effects it might have on the little dragon's mental state.

She uses this an "excuse" to pay a visit to him after the play and have a one on one talk with him, giving him a chance to know that he is helpful.

But that is not the only reason the night princess comes to see Spike, the alicorn is dealing with her own personal issues and needs a friend she can trust to confide them in. Plus, Luna isn't the only one who wishes to give praise to Spike.
