Once upon a lonely afternoon, Spike and Silver Spoon had a talk. This is how it went.

Written for this contest.

Nearly a decade past since Twilight and Spike moved into Ponyville. Since then, Spike grew himself into a fine young dragon. One day, during a storm, he stops into Sugarcube Corner to visit his old friend Pinkie Pie. When her foals begin crying in fear of the thunderstorm. Luckily, Spike knows just how to cheer them up.

This is based on a chapter from Fireproof, which is a sequel to Dragon Sage. The chapter felt so good to write that I felt it deserved to be it's own one-shot. I edited a few elements in the story to keep it from spoiling the others.

(Takes place immediately after "Luna Eclipsed", colab with yodajax10.) Another Nightmare Night has come and gone, and now Ponyville begins the process of cleaning up after it.

Spike offers to help out, but Twilight reassures him that they can handle things on their own. So, reluctantly, the baby dragon decides to spend a little time with Princess Luna, who has just come out of her shell.

But what can the two talk about? Quite a lot, actually. And both will come to realize, they have something in common.

What is the worst thing your friend can say to you? Egghead? Leave me alone? I hope I never see you again? No. Those are only words, trifle without meaning, no weight, they are all forgiven and forgotten within a week. I know what it is. The worst thing a friend can say to you. I heard it from my number one assistant.

Kirakina did a reading of this story, it can be found here. Cheers!

This story is a sequel to The Princess And The Dragon

It has been a week since The Storm King's defeat, but Spike has been acting very quiet and won't open up to Twilight or Starlight. But Twilight calls upon Princess Luna, who also happens to be Spike's dragon sitter to find out what's going on.

This has no connection to a previous story I co-wrote with SuperPinkBrony12 Closure (Which I do love), but I wanted to see what things would be like if it were in my head canon of another story we both wrote, The Princess And The Dragon , where Luna becomes Spike's dragon sitter.

SuperPinkBrony12 also served as an editor and proofreader here! Check out his stuff!

If she had been a good little filly, she would have listened to her mommy and daddy and her teacher and the esteemed mayor of Ponyville. If She had been a good little filly she would have stayed indoors, hiding under her bed as she waited for the Royal Guard and the Princesses to arrive and deal with the dragon. If she had been a good little filly, the kind of child that always got what she wanted for Hearth's Warming, she would not be on the trail leading up the mountain, to where the dragon now rested.

Glitter Belle is not a good little filly. She is a curious one, whose curiosity has brought her face to face with a very, very large dragon. Let's hope it's in the mood to talk.

Spike is the only dragon in Ponyville, friend to the elements of Harmony and Twilight's number one assistant. But when he gets left behind on an important mission by Princess Celestia, the dragon begins to contemplate past events and even dares to question his services.

It really was a very nice hat she'd given Spike.

Even though Twilight gave it back to her after his rampage was over, Cheerilee doesn't want to keep it.

She really should give it back to him.

Spike's got three whole days to himself while Twilight is away at the Crystal Empire. Three whole days to be independent and free to do whatever he wants.

Or he would have, if a female dragon hadn't mistaken him for an abandoned hatchling. Now he's been snatched up and taken to her home to be "properly cared for."

Stuck in a cave with an overly-protective dragon intent on mothering him...maybe he should have just gone with Twilight.

Thanks to QueenCold for letting me use this picture of theirs as cover art!

The Friendship Summit preparations have gone on without a hitch, thanks to ‘Princess’ Spike’s initiative and resourcefulness. He still has to deal with Twilight’s disapproval, though.
