“Dragons are not meant to live with ponies”

Spike thought that he had found his place among ponies, especially after the dragon migration.
But things didn't turn out the way he thought.
Life had other plans for him:

It has been more than three years since Spike was banished from Ponyville and shunned by his friends.
He now lives a relatively quiet life in the Everfree Forest.
But what happens when events lead spike to look back at his old life, and take him back to the times where everything went wrong? And what happened to Spike after Pony kind turns her back on him?

This story is a sequel to An Apple Sleep Experiment

It’s been seven years since the great massacre, and ponies are still trying to cope in the aftermath. Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, and her friends (minus one obvious apple) are preparing for the annual memorial, when an unexpected castle guest threatens to disrupt the peace in Ponyville forever.

This is the OFFICIAL Sequel to my previous story "An Apple Sleep Experiment", both of which have audio/visual adaptations on Youtube! For the sequel, it will be in four parts, linked here:

Spike was once a complete puzzle. All of his pieces fit together perfectly and he fit into life's puzzle perfectly. Then, he lost something, or more specifically somepony. One does not stay the same after losing a special piece of them. This is a story of puzzles and how each and every part of our universe in connected in some way, some with stronger bonds than others.

How can guilty affect someone? Some don't feel any remorse for their actions, others only apologize when they do bad things and others apologize for things they had never done.
Spike's thinks about his life and how his actions had led to bad consequences.

What is the worst thing your friend can say to you? Egghead? Leave me alone? I hope I never see you again? No. Those are only words, trifle without meaning, no weight, they are all forgiven and forgotten within a week. I know what it is. The worst thing a friend can say to you. I heard it from my number one assistant.
