For most of his life Spike has yearned to be treated as more than a hatchling; only five years younger than Twilight by all rights he should be considered a young adult, or at least a teenager, by pony standards.

His mind, though still developing, is at times equal to an adult pony's thanks to the many years he spent working alongside his studious caretaker. When forced to focus can could quickly outpace and outwit most colts his age.

His body on the other hand is tiny and adorable.

As with all dragons the pace of his growth matches the demands of the world around him; with the carefree, relaxed life of a librarian's assistant there have been few demands a baby dragon's form could not meet. Until now.

Faced with other dragons, rivals and peers much more fit for survival Spike's body has started working overtime to catch him up and prepare him for the long, difficult life of a dragon. Fortunately, this means he will soon have a body that matches his mind; large enough to take care of himself and get a small token or respect now and then.

Unfortunately this means he has hit puberty.

From a young age, Ditzy Doo knew she wasn't like most ponies. Jinxed and uncoordinated, she was shunned from all social circles as she grew up. When a friend finally comes her way, Ponyville's residential mailmare will surprise everyone—including herself—when she demonstrates how far she's willing to go to keep that friendship.

Have you ever wondered just what the characters of a fanfic think of fanfics? Have you ever stopped and actually thought just what it was like to have anyone at random pluck you from canon and stick you as an actor in their little plays they make up? Well these characters know what that's like first hand. Witness the hilarity that ensues in a convoluted adventure of excuse plots and tacky cliches that the characters know from the getgo that they are in and that there's nothing that they can do about it.

When Sir Spike the Fireheart is framed by a fellow knight and branded a traitor to the Kingdom of Equestria for crimes he did not commit, he escapes persecution and makes a new life in the Everfree forest with a thief by the name of Pipsqueak. All the while, the seeds of vengeance slowly begin to bloom, and with the help of a strange cast of allies, he seeks to right the wrongs done unto his name. Cover Art belongs to: John Joseco.

The year is 1886. Brilliant, but eccentric master detective Twilock Sparkle enlists the help of her friend and partner Dr Spikeson to solve her most challenging case yet. But this time, their adversary might just be out of their league...

"Congratulations, Spike! You're the new Rainbow Dash!" Twilight may have said those words in the heat of the moment, but what if it were true?

Discord, spirit of chaos and infinite jest, manages to play yet another trick on Twilight and her friends by making her hasty solution more real than she could have imagined... in his own rather idiosyncratic way, of course.

...But how will the original Rainbow Dash deal with her chaos-twisted, semi-official replacement? And can Spike really take the place of everyone's favorite speedster?

Short answer: Probably no.

Long answer: Well, read the story and find out!

A/N: This is kind of against my better judgement since I usually publish entire rather than serially, but let's see how it goes. I can always delete it all and claim it never happened, later. 8 D

On the night of his birthday, Spike's sad musings are interrupted by Twilight, who decides visiting everypony the next day might cheer him up. Now with some editing!
