After spending a day picnicking and having fun with his pony friends, Spike awakens to find himself in an unfamiliar Equestria and appears to be living in a cave and has grown into an adolescent dragon. A nagging feeling tells him something is very wrong. Spike ventures to Ponyville in search of answers. His hopes rest on his friends helping him find out what's going on. He first goes to Twilight's library figuring if anyone can help him it'd be her. But when he gets there he is met by a unicorn he's never met claiming to be a relative of Twilight's and his friend. After talking to her Spike learns that a great deal of time has passed since his last memory of the day he spent with his friends. The unicorn offers to help him remember by taking him back to his cave. There all he has left of his friends is a chest full of keepsakes and letters, and a picture. Can this unicorn help him recover his lost memories or has Spike somehow ended up in a strange new Equestria and is there anyway for him to return to the world he once knew?
This story was strongly inspired by the picture I am using for the cover and the comments on the site I found it at. I will inform you ahead of time that this story will pull strongly at your heart strings. I feel no shame in confessing that I got misty-eyed while I wrote this. I hope it moves you as well.
