“It's times like these you learn to love again./It's times like these time and time again.” –Foo Fighters, ‘Times Like These’

Sequel: "Life In A Northern Town"

Spike begins to spend more and more time helping Rarity and Sweetie Belle around the Carousel Boutique. As time goes on, Sweetie Belle and Spike become close friends, sharing close secrets. But there seems to be a secret that Sweetie Belle thinks Spike should share with Rarity.

Spike's Destiny was decided long before he was even born, but when he is finally told about it, will he go along with Celestia, or will he rebel and run away with his friends to make his own destiny?

It has been five years since he first arrived in Ponyville, and Spike has grown both physically and emotionally. Yet even though he's remained infatuated with Rarity for so long, he's bottled up his feelings, until reality hits him, and his depression forces him to make certain decisions he may later come to regret. Now he must face reality, and all that it entails, including his own reflection, whether he likes it or not.

Spike's choices, however, affect not only him, but those closest to him as well. The six ponies he holds closest to his heart will bear witness to his suffering, and they themselves shall know love at its best...

And at its worst...

Rated Teen, because, just in case. Sometimes it's better to be safe rather than sorry. No sex or gore, just in case you were wondering.

Planned out and written previous to the airing of My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic Season 2 Episode 17. Special thanks to SocraticBrony for all the help and inspiration!

All characters belong to Hasbro and Lauren Faust and blah blah blah, whatever, but the story is MINE. If you'd like to share it, or whatever, I'd ask you to please ask for my permission first.

After finding her assistant missing again during her court duties, Twilight finds Spike with none other then Fluttershy and learns that the two have been a couple for a while. After overcoming her shock, she is told the story of how the two, unexpectedly, found comfort in each others embrace...

An old Dragon is revisited by a certain Princess who comes to give him something he's been looking for for a long time.

(Yay! My first story everypony ^0^ Enjoy y'all. Since this is my first could you all be kind and give any critique please. Thanks ^-^)

EDIT: I completely forgot to edit this. Sorry everyone, but a while back I hit a total writers block. This was written as a one shot and I couldn't come up with anything that matched the atmosphere of this chapter. That and I went into a bad depression and just kinda forgot about a whole lot.

I am going to edit the story now so that it is a slightly better read and so it will provide some closing. Again, apologies!

Twilight has been summoned to Canterlot for important training as a princess, but she is unable to bring Spike along. Unfortunately, her closest friends are unable to watch him, so she turns to her newest friend Trixie. However, will Spike be uncomfortable around her or will he be able to look past her previous actions and consider making her a friend?

There was a question... and Spike wanted the answer. The curiosity of it was gnawing at his little dragon brain like gerbils in a vat of candy corn. In desperation, he turns to Cadence for help, and she's more than happy to assist.

After all, it's just a simple question. What's the worst that could happen?

(Takes place prior to Season 1. Rated for scattered innuendo.)

It's New Year's Eve and everyone is enjoying themselves at Pinkie Pie's latest party, or at least most everyone. No one should have to spend New Year's alone, an older Spike offer's his companionship to a rather out of place feeling Princess Luna. In the end both of them find that special someone to begin the new year with.

SpikexLuna oneshot

Ten years ago Spike left Ponyville out of fear of his rampages hurting somepony. Now he has returned and must face up to the events surrounding his departure.

Needs work, but I am not quite sure how to make it better. Please comment and critique.
