As the world grows and Equestria changes, so does the lovable little dragon Spike. His affection for the beautiful pony Rarity has grown stronger over the last few years, yet he's still viewed as a little one.

Making the choice to do anything for Rarity to share the same feelings for him, Spike sets out to make true a wish that he may find out was not what he really wanted all along.

Spike finds himself in a state that keeps him from the one he loves, and he leaves Ponyville. Will Rarity accept that though?
Driven closer to him through his determination, Rarity sets out to return him to where he belongs, but her journey may not return the results she desires.

Spike left Ponyville to live in Canterlot two years ago. Now he is back, and Rarity is stunned by what she sees. What happened before he left and what will happen now? What will Rarity do with her feelings, and how does he feel about her now?

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.

Twenty years ago, an egg born to the most powerful of all dragons and his mate was laid. Fearing the hatchling's potential, an evil, power-hungry dragon led a campaign against the dragon king's stronghold. To protect their child, the king and queen sacrificed themselves to take down the villain while entrusting their child to their closest friend: the alicorn Princess of the Sun. Five years later, the egg hatched and the young dragon has since been living a peaceful, happy life among the ponies, especially the one who was responsible for his hatching, completely unaware of his past.

However, the evil dragon has returned and plans to led an army of dragons in the conquest of Equestria. To save the land and his friends, the young hatchling must learn his true destiny and discover the great power he has within.

Contains Sparity as the main pairing, with FlutterDash and FlashLight as secondary pairings.

It's been almost three months since Spike was cured of his werepony curse and things seem to be getting back to normal. Unbeknownst to him, however, Rarity has a surprise that will test his commitment to their relationship.

Don't know what the heck is going on? Then start to story right by going all the way back to the beginning with And Tootsie Flute Makes Three

An unfortunate turn of events finds Spike changed into an Earth pony. Rarity unintentionally crushed his heart and now she has to fight hard to win back his trust, his friendship, and maybe something more.

This story is a sequel to Chaosland is Other Ponies

"Loosely" based upon the Futurama episode 'The Robot Devil's hands are Idle Playthings'.

In an attempt to impress Rarity, Spike takes up a musical instrument to express how he feels. Unfortunately, this doesn't go as well as he hoped, and makes a deal with Discord to improve his chances. This works out brilliantly for Spike and he soon becomes a musical sensation; however Discord is less thrilled, and does what he can to reverse the deal.

Rarity discovers that her supply of gems is awfully low, and it probably didn't help that she used a lot of them just the other day in designing a new dress. She needs more gems if she's ever going to finish the new clothing line she already designed. Yet, most caves in Ponyville she's already been to. Determined to find more gems than before, she will go to a cave far from Ponyville. She did mention it to her other friends, but it seemed they were too busy to pay attention. Hmph. She invites Spike along like last time so that the two of them can gather enough gems for her new clothing line. Even though she wanted to gather more gems than that...

Rarity and Spike travels to the cave, but will discover more than just gems. Within the cave, unknown to Rarity before she traveled there, many bat ponies migrated there. It was that time of year, yet one bat pony is left behind. She will need their help if she is going to return to her colony, or ever face them, again. Not only that, she will need their friendship if she is ever going to do either. Will Rarity and Spike be able to help her? Why was the bat pony left behind? And, why didn't Rarity's friends tag along for the ride? -- Stay tuned in to find out!

--- Note: If readers are hoping that the romance is between Spike and Rarity, it's not. The romance is between two other ponies, yet I will go into a little for Rarity and Spike. ---

It's a cold New Year's Eve, but everyone is keeping warm at Sugar Cube Corner's New Year's Party. Of course, it would be better if Spike could get up the nerve to ask Rarity for a New Year's Kiss.

Rarity has estranged herself from her friends for nearly 3 years. The most anypony ever hears from her is a Hearth's Warming Eve card and her name all over designer clothing from Manehattan. Spike travels to Manehattan in search of his beloved friend. What secrets are being hidden behind all the tall skyscrapers and bustle of "The Big Apple?"

Thank you, starlight blaze, for helping to refine my ideas into a proper story.
