This story is a sequel to The Diary of Spike the Dragon

Spike is on a mission. A mission to save himself and his 'friends' from everypony. He believes that Twilight and the others are falling into their clutches and he must stop them. What happens now? Innocent lives are gone, ponies panic, and our heroes have to decide between friendship and the lives of other ponies.

"The pieces are set, and the dice are in play. But does every pony have the heart for this day?"

Nearly two hundred years have passed since Rarity Belle merged with the Crystal Heart and took the throne of the Crystal Empire. Since then, through her care, determination, and vision, the Empire has flourished like never before. Now Empress Rarity stands as not a ruler of a providence, but the monarch of a rising superpower.

Today though, is the Empress' Birthday, and Lady Merry Sapphire, seneschal to the Empress, is determined to make this the best birthday Rarity has ever had. Little does she know that not everypony shares her enthusiasm for today...

Notes:
This is an official prequel to the Princess Twilight Sparkle's Birthday stories, created by Autumnschild. This story will develop and expand much of the world we made, but taking place 250 years before PTS500 and its sequel, PTS505. Due to its time gap and status as a prequel, you do not need to read the stories created by Autumnschild, and I have done my best to help that. However, knowing what happened in them will help you be a bit more aware of what is going on, and I encourage you to go read them for they are very enjoyable.

We now have our own group! Come check out the Birthdayverse!

Credit goes to Autumnschild for the proofreading for this story.
Razalon The Lizardman is credited for the grammatical overhaul.

Great thanks goes to these two, for this story would not be as good without them.

A three part, chilling story detailing the twisted love between two childhood ponies, Quicksilver and Thunderclap.

As the two grow up and grow apart, ThunderClap begins to realize that something is missing in his life and when Quicksilver returns home, all grown up, he realizes that what he has been missing, is her.

Will ThunderClap meet the mare of his dreams?
