The Official Sequel to Spike's Home Alone.

Don't panic! Hiatus is temporary, suffering serious writers block with this story atm. Got another one in the works to keep you entertained. Should be submitting it on Monday.

A few weeks have passed since Spike and Fluttershy made their relationship official. Despite a few bumps in the road it seems the perfect ending the fairy tales always promised. What follows however, is something that no one could have prepared them for.

But first!

A massive thank you to all those who gave me such a warm welcome to FiMFiction! Especially those who found Spike's Home Alone as interesting to read as it was to write! A number of you asked for a sequel so here you go, free of charge.
Sorry for the long hiatus, my life's been getting pretty busy lately. If you enjoyed this fan fic or it's predecessor, Spike's Home Alone, I'm now looking for proof-readers and an editor. Please message me if you're interested.

Poor Spike, all he wanted to do is spend time near the pony he adores. Now, because of one little lie, he's in real trouble. A geography bee, a macabre doppelgänger, and an icebox all play their part as Spike and Rarity once again find themselves on pins and needles...

Since he first laid eyes on her, Spike has been in love with Rarity. We all know it, hay, most Equestria knows it by now. The unicorn in question has been acting as though she felt the same way, saying sweet things and acting so lovely to the baby dragon. But as years have passed, Spike's seen the big picture and doesn't want to have his emotions toyed with.

Though maybe he doesn't know the half of it.

(Sequal to "Earning Freedom". Might be able to stand alone, but it's best if you read the first one before this)

After Big Macintosh escaped wrongful incarceration, thanks to foreign stallion named: Sin, He, Spike, Sin and another pony with questionable sanity named: Shade traveled around Equestria to live life without the constant frustrations and restraints of home. However, due to a double cross by Princess Luna, Sin found himself on trial for for assisting ponies he believed wrongly imprisoned, liberate themselves from such disgusting misuses of power and authority.

The four were joined by Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie under order of Princess Celestia as Sin's sentence for his guilt. The eight ponies found themselves among the ranks of the "Bloody Sky Captains", the freedom loving crew of the airship "Gonshinian". After seeing life stripped for the first time by the hands of his mentor, Macintosh is in shock. He had never thought death acceptable by any circumstance, though; his life had never been directly threatened before either.

After a brief conflict with the Triple M. airship: "Judgment", The "Gonshinian" has been in travel for the past week due north over the Griffin Empire to transport Sin, a former Senator of the Federation, to his homeland to investigate a suspicious lobbyist campaign. Though the motives are not yet clear, the effects seem to drive a wedge between the representative Senators, and the arbitrating Centaurs. All compliments of a Mega Corporation named: Triple M. and it's well known Vice President: Malich.

Growing up in the ruins of Fillydelphia, the orphan Spike is abducted by a group of six of the most dangerous mercenaries, bounty hunters, assassins, and roundabout crazy people in Badworld. The six have little interest in working with eachother, but a blackmailing Celesticorp and rival Luna Industries can make the life of any Badworld survivor tenuous at best.
Spike is stuck relying on his would-be captors if he wants to avoid Luna Industrie's subversive grasp.
Fortunately, Gilda always has an ace up her sleeves, or in this case a horse in her dreams.
A ragtag bunch of 'friends' is more than many have in the Badworld, but it's not always enough.

Spike is different. Derpy is.....well different. But love is there all the same. Will they break under the prussure and negativity or will they handle things Differently.

Ever since the events of his birthday, Spike has feared and suppressed his species' natural behavior. However, when one chains the beast too long, natural tendencies tend to break loose. Spike, along with his friends, must discover a way for Spike to control his natural behavior and continue to live alongside the ones he loves. But is this possible?

Which is more powerful: nature or nurture?

Spike loses a bet to Snips and Snails. The consequence? Ask Scootaloo out on a date. But what starts off as a frivolous punishment for the baby dragon ends up becoming much more rewarding than he ever expected.

Scootaloo's parents have never liked one another, not since Scoots can remember anyway. Constant fights with the orange pegasus filly as a scapegoat don't help the crusader's self-esteem, though she fights to hide it from the ponies that matter to her. Can she find it in herself to face her fears and become her own pony, separate from her family problems?

Spike finds himself in the middle of nowhere, and with no way of getting back home. For a journey this big its gonna take two, and Spike forges an unsteady partnership with a unlikely pony.

Embarked on a dangerous journey to reach his home Spike is gonna have to keep an ace up his sleeve, call some bluffs, and hope his companion hasn't stacked the deck in her favor. Tempers flare, teeth will be grit, and things will never be the same. Enough napping young dragon, it's your turn for an adventure.

Kudos, and thanks too my beta-readers xgfhj, Lium, and Dataguy who've been patient enough to deal with the multitude of grammar issues that plague my stories, and all around have been a great help.
