When two friends have been best friends for as long as they can remember, certain aspects seem impossible or can be hidden from each other. But over time, emotions and feelings can change. What will this mean for Spike and Twilight Sparkle, and will they be the only ones who are changing their feelings?

After a major dispute with her queen, a lone female Changeling is banished from her home and forced to be on her own.
She eventually runs into Ponyville where she transforms herself into a random pony citizen to blend in. She ends up running into residents and makes some new friends while exploring.
But then she accidentally runs into a certain young dragon... one who had caught her eye during the invasion of Canterlot.

-My first romance story; but don't expect a clop-fic from me anytime soon, cause I would suck at those.

(In this story, Chrysalis calls her minions by number; please don't ask how she knows who is who.)

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Dash's Spike

Love is a tricky subject. It isn't something that just affects one pony, or two, but everypony around them, It is something that affects everypony differently, too.

Spike and Rainbow are going to have to learn this the hard way.

How will their friends react to it the same. Will they all be happy for the new couple? Willthey try to break them apart?

Events from those stories have influenced this one. Some things might not make sense if you have not read these stories.

Shadow and Silver ( Yes, Shadow the Hedgehog and Silver the Hedgehog) mysteriously appear in Ponyville. Will they get back to Earth????

After seemingly small lapse of judgment on Rarity's part, Spike is left in an emotionally vulnerable state. An attempt to cheer the saddened dragon by Applejack quickly leads to the development of affection between the pair. But Applejack is not the only one with feelings for the reptilian assistant. Twilight also realizes her romantic love for the dragon as he spends more and more time outside the library and away from her. But her white counterpart soon admits her own feelings for her long-time, scaly suitor as well.
Three mares vying for the affections of one dragon. There can be only one winner. What will happen? Who will win? Read and find out! (An updated summary for new readers) (An update to the cover art may or may not follow. It all depends on whether I can find a better image for the story.)

Spike has had it. It's not his fault the library is a shambles. In fact, he tried his very best to save it.

And now he's supposed to take the blame? Not this time! Until Twilight starts to fully appreciate his worth, Spike goes on strike!

He will not falter! He will not give in! He will stand his ground!
...if at the end of it all there is still some ground left to stand on.

Six months before the wedding of Cadence and Shining Armor, Spike meets the queen by chance. Taken aback by her quirks, Spike tries his best to become friends with her, to some success.
However, all things, good or bad, must come to an end, and Chrysalis's eventual actions at the wedding make that clear.

Spike has, in his hands, the ability to redeem this seemingly evil queen. Because... maybe she isn't as evil as everyone thought.

(Reluctantly toting the OC tag because of Chrysalis's disguise, and because of the fact that there will eventually be a true OC designed to help push the story along. AKA I didn't write the story around the OC, I wrote the OC around the story. I'm really paranoid about this pushing away potential readers, if you can't tell. ^^;)

(Character list have been further adjusted to mark what the story will become. The majority and focus of the story is the "encore", and, while it will have a "slice of life" feel, there will be important consequences to the actions taken; hence, it is an adventure.)

Heartbroken after a rejection from Rarity Spike find love where he least expects it. He also learns some thing about himself he never thought he believed could be true.

This is my first story ever. I was going to release another story but I have yet to finish it I kept getting side tracked. This story really was what I kept getting side tracked with. I will release more if this does well.

Special Thanks to Bennet001 for Editing for me. Cover art borrowed from spending to many hours searching google.

Spike is now a teenage dragon, and his love for certain white unicorn is stronger than ever, while she's not completely aware of her feelings, and has to fight to keep her little sister in line before a new disaster explodes. Although generosity may help keeping greed away, could also become a two-edged sword, and Twilight is worried about Ponyville being destroyed again as it happened three years ago.

Applejack has lately been feeling crestfallen and out of it. But when Spike stops by and offers to help her with her chores, she feels puzzled of what is happening. What exactly is going on?
