As they both begin to mature, Spike and Rainbow Dash have a conversation about life, love, and what it means to fly.

Written expressly for Equestria Daily's Writer's Training Grounds #4.

Cover art swiped from QTMarx.

Spike gets a visit from a truly loyal friend, but she isn't just coming for a regular visit. what does rainbow have to say? And how will it affect their relationship?

When Spike challenges Rainbow Dash to a race, the winner of which must do something for the loser, she gleefully accepts. To her dismay she loses — but rather than make her do something embarrassing like she was expecting him to, all Spike wants is for Dash to treat him to dinner.

As the night wears on, Spike drops a few hints about his true feelings — which Dash fails to pick up on. Can she realise the truth, or is it too late?

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Winner of this contest held by the SpikeDash group. Thanks, Vexy!

It's been a few years, but it finally happened. Rarity finally told him it just wasn't gong to work out. Now all Spike wants to do is sit in his room and wallow in his misery. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash has other ideas. After all, she needs a partner for the Equestrian Unity Challenge and he could use some time away from home. Of course, making a partnership work is hard enough without the introduction of unexpected rivals or unexpected feelings.

(Written for the fourth SpikeDash competition. As this is under some constraints as a contest entry, this may see later expansion.)

(Thanks to Rocinante for pre-reading/editing.)

Is Dash really gone its been months since she disappeared and nopony has heard from her. Spike waits for her return inner home trying to keep in mind that she is all right. But as time go on the idea that she may be dead seem to be the problem that he faces alone. All he can do is remember all the good times that they shared to keep her alive at heart.

This story is a sequel to Covers

Twilight is going to have another slumber party and each of the Mane 6 is invited. Rainbow Dash however, can't stand the usual events expected at such a party, so she invites Spike to help even things out. Will they both survive the night?

Spike and Rainbow Dash are pitted in a fight to write the better story.

If only they had a story to write about.

Shout out to "Diamond brook," who wrote Chapter Two to help me me finish this story on time. Go check him out!

Confused, Spike wakes up to find himself in a predicament that he wouldn't be in by choice.

He doesn't mind all that much though.

Absolutely zero editing nor proof-reading was put into this. Consider that.

Spike gets wings... somehow, Rainbow Dash helps him fly like a pro. LET THE CHEESINESS ENSUE! Like most of you can tell, it is a SpikeDash story. I told myself i wouldn't resort to writing Romance, but hey let's give it a shot shall we?
