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?

Through the simple act of betraying with somepony he knows and loves. Spike will be shown just how far his music can take him. From a simple dream as a little dragon, he gave up his dream and his talent to help the only pony who betrayed him after so many years of being on her side. Running away from Ponyville with his violin, Spike trips to Canterlot... Healing old wounds, finding new friends or something more, and possibly even rekindling the old fire of his dreams...

This time he will focus not on the others, but to follow his dreams...

Life is pretty unpredictable for me, but that alone is the predictable part of it. Pretty early on, I learned that I should expect the unexpected, and enjoy the brief moments of peace when they were there. Such an outlook helped me early on to keep from going crazy with all of the stuff that's happened to us all.

As the years passed though, I found my own source of peace: my closest friends.

My best friends were always there for me, and I for them. We held each other up when we fell below the surface of the sea of life, and offered friendly smiles and listening ears to each other when we needed it most. Even with all the insanity we weathered over the years, we became closer in spite of it...or, perhaps because of it. In a world of hoarding dragons, I may be the only one that cherished a small group of ponies over gold or jewels.

Note: Ponies are considered adolescent/mature at a much younger age than humans (six and fourteen, respectively). I've made an oversight on this, and I believe this explanation will fix that. Also, this will be a Spike-harem fic, but as with all my other submissions, there is no clop; just a heads up.

Spike has been spending a lot of time with Flitter, a local pony in town who is (at best) an acquaintance of the Mane 6. Rarity sees this and launches straight into action, enlisting Twilight Sparkle's aid in getting to the bottom of Flitter's intentions with her dear Spikey-Wikey.

Teen Rating for some suggestive passages.

EDIT: Hit 4k views 10/7/16- Most successful story so far. I'm glad people enjoyed it!

With Spike having become an adult, Canterlot now plays host to dozens of mares from the the Crystal Empire set on attracting his attention. Rarity, faced with the prospect of having real potential competition for Spike's heart, is forced to confront her own long-developing feelings for Spike, and the question as to whether Spike still feels the same way about her. Meanwhile, Spike decides that the time has finally come for him to tell Rarity how he's felt about her and finally put the question of their relationship to rest, one way or another.

With both ready to confront their feelings towards each other, the question becomes, what could possibly go wrong?

Note: This story is part of the Guarded Emotions continuity.

Edit: Featured as of 2/1, Thank you guys so much!

We all have feelings we keep inside. Some are better at doing this than others, question is. What happens when you've hidden them so well that you yourself have no idea about it.

While everypony is growing and building a life, Spike notices that he is still a baby dragon, and will probably be for a long, long time. Not to mention that he had no dreams or expectations for his future, other than a not-so-realistic one: to be with Rarity.
On a desperate attempt to change his life and discover who he really is, a lot of depressing facts are unveiled. Can Spike withstand his fate and what being a dragon implies?

Through the simple act of bumping into somepony new, Spike will be shown just how far his music can take him. Healing old wounds, finding new friends, and possibly even rekindling an old fire.

Spike has been rejected by Rarity after helping her for a very important client and a fashion show. He disappears shortly afterwards, leaving Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and the rest of the gang saddened by his absence.

It has been three years since that incident, and the girls have gotten past the sadness, but still get together to remember the purple dragon every year. On this day, a new pony comes to Ponyville, and although he knows nothing of what his life was like, helps the group have more fun and fills part of the hole left in their hearts from Spike.

Idea for the fashion show goes to LordPlagus777's story Heart of Scales.

Ever since Scootaloo met Rainbow Dash's parents, they have taken every opportunity to spend time with each other as much as possible. One of those times being Scootaloo's birthday. There, Scootaloo would receive the most precious gift that would change her life forever.
