Spike, like many teenage boys, is at a loss for romance. Kissing girls is as foreign as shedding for a pony. Seeking guidance, Spike turns to the one mare he trusts with such a matter: Cadence.

Taking him under her wing, Cadence sets up practice dates for the young dragon. But with each date, something grows underneath the surface. The dividing line blurs, and practice soon becomes reality...

Thanks to Vexy and The Abyss for kicking this fic into shape.

Twilight calls her friends over to help her with a spell that with temporarily enable them to use each-others attribute's, such as their wing's, magic, etc. However, when focusing on her spell, Spike trip's into the middle of the spell, causing it to go haywire! Once the smoke clears...the Main Six find themselves...transformed...

Special thanks to Coda Crescendo for editing this story!

After leaving on a second pilgrimage to find himself, Spike returns to Ponyville, physically larger and sporting an impressive array of skills and powers.

His plans for a calm life in Ponyville, however, takes a different path as he soon finds himself the desire of several ponies interests, friends old and new included.

Change breeds benefits, as the saying goes. Spike has yet to hear it ring true.
