Dreams. We reach for them with our all, with every bit of our soul. We never think about falling short. Rainbow Dash and Spike have both reached and missed, and now they don't know which way to turn. But they soon discover that dreams are endless and with wings and each other, obtaining them is a definite possibility.

A grown-up Spike looks back on his life and on those who are no longer with him as the anniversary of a dear friend's death rolls around. Will he be able to deal with his grief and put the past behind him? Or will he need the help of someone even older?

A kind of follow-up to my featured fic "My Little Assistant"

Upon eavesdropping on a conversation between Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, Spike discovers what his "true love" really thinks of him, and after reminiscing on his thoughts about it, he slowly begins to drift away from his friends. With sorrow and despair in his heart, Spike runs away from home, and runs into an old enemy that tries to help him out.

However, after realizing what she has done, Rarity begins to realize and discover that she has feelings for Spike after all, but can she save him before it's too late?

The first episode of The Gems Trilogy.

Sweetie Belle attempts to deal with the realization that she's developed a crush on Spike. Meanwhile, Spike's own feelings are in flux.

Some accidents are small, and some endow you with the power of a godly ruler. On the opposite end of things, you lose your wings along with your ability to move celestial bodies, and you can't tell anypony. Why, because what would they think if the princess became a librarian? It's going to be "fine". Celestia just needs to switch back with Twilight before either of their true identities are revealed. All Twilight has to do is hold down the castle, fight off scheming villains, run the country, and worst of all... deal with all the noble ponies.

Rated teen for shenanigans and some more serious parts. Takes place at the end of lesson zero. Please tear this apart with comments. I like criticism. Comment if you have issues, don't leave me with a mystery thumbs down.

Each has had their own hardship to face. Each has an attachment they need to keep. And each has only one night left to make sure their feelings are known.

Twilight Sparkle is leaving for a year, to travel throughout the world and study with masters of magic scattered across Equestria. Spike, after an accident that put him in a strange position, has had to choose between his oldest friends, or the ones he's made over the years. Pinkie Pie is reacting more violently than any of her friends thought she would. And Rarity, all the while, is trying to deal with reemerging feelings that she thought she'd not needed.

With one night before Twilight's departure, the four try to make their last night together matter, each in their own way. And in the end, they will come out of it changed for the rest of their lives.

My one shot at a one-shot (oh god the puns!). I hope this is as good as I want it to be, which is selfish, but that's what this is about.

I do not own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, yada yada yada, etcetera etcetera. I think you get the point, so I'll stop wasting your time and let you move on to the story.

As Spike pines after Rarity, he remembers a bedtime story Princess Celestia told him long ago, called the Ballad of Firebrand and Olivine. The ballad was about a dragon and a pony falling in love, and the consequences that love brought upon them.

After another failed attempt to get Rarity to notice him, Spike is left with no other choice but to call in a favor from one of his old friends Wishful Thinking and wish himself a way to her heart. Unfortunately, Wishful's magic has a price, usually on Wishful himself.

Can Spike deal with what his wish has caused to happen to his friend? Can Wishful Thinking even survive two days without a mare trying to beat the snot out of him? Read on and find out.

A/N: This was my first Fanfic in a long time and my first pony fanfic in general. So issues and continuity may have shown up and your free to point them out for me to fix.
