What would happen if Spike was born earlier than in the show and was raised by dragons instead of ponies? What if his teacher told him to come with him to meet with Celestia and the recently returned Luna. How will the princesses and Elements of Harmony handle a blunt, sarcastic, and strong young dragon. And how would this affect a certain shy Pegasus who is afraid of dragons.

Twilight and Soarin' live their lives together and have a foal on the way, read as the tale of two ponies in love unfolds.

NOTE: You do not have to read the first two really, the only thing you need to know is that they met at a summer festival in Ponyville, and Soarin' crashed while showing off for Twilight, losing his flight abilities.
But reading the first stories is a good idea, though Purple Skies isn't the best story out there.

Princess Twilight Sparkle is perfectly happy with her perfectly ordinary life in Ponyville. Every library book is properly shelved in its appropriate place, and her life continues on exactly according to her meticulously planned out schedule.

Then she gets a bodyguard.

Now she has to find some way to fit this new pony into her life on short notice. It won’t be an easy thing to adjust to—especially since Captain Storm Kicker’s presence makes it that much harder for her to go on living like the same old Twilight Sparkle she was before she became a princess.

It's been a long, long time since Spike was stolen from her, but Twilight hasn't forgotten nor forgiven. After a long and arduous journey, she has finally found him and his kidnapper.

She will save him.

No matter the cost.

(Under Renovation)

Being the subject of a great and powerful destiny isn't all it's cracked up to be.

If anything, it's annoying. And extremely painful.

After awakening to his fate as the purple one, Spike is immediately tasked with preventing the world from falling into the clutches of a being known only as the Shadow Sage; who, after being imprisoned in the distant past, is more than ready to make his grand return.

And what better way to commemorate the event than razing the entire world?

Now, Spike must find the four Guardian Dragons and receive instruction in each of the elements of Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth. Mastering all four is the only chance he has of sealing away the malevolent evils to restore order and harmony.

One minor problem: the Guardians are long gone, having faded from history at the time of the Shadow Sage's previous sealing. In addition, his forces have kidnapped the members of the Mane Six for unknown purposes, and now they must be rescued before it is too late.

"Remind me again why the fate of the world is resting on my shoulders?"

While teaching Spike math one afternoon, Twilight comes up with a solution of 'sixty-nine'. Spike can't stop laughing enough to tell her what's so funny, so she's going to find out.

Oh, she will find out.

Preread by RainbowRick, thanks to both of you!

This was originally meant to be my sixty-nine follower special, but other stuff came up and...yeah. I eventually got around to it. Enjoy!

Twilight Sparkle is happy with her life, but she can't shake the feeling that something is missing....

Soarin' is glad to be a WonderBolt, it's his life dream, he has an audience but no pony to perform for personally..

Twilight Sparkle and Soarin' embark on finding their true loves.
