Spike has hit his growth spurt making him happier than ever before... for about two weeks before he realized he was still the same, just taller and lanky. He still makes most of the chores around the castle, takes notes, reads comics, runs errands around town, and helps his friends whenever he can.

He's the same dragon he was before. The same coloration. The same appetites. The same hobbies. The same likings. The same fears.

The same weakling.

The same coward.

The same Spike.

He decides it's time for that change once and for all. And he knows exactly who to go to for that.

**Prequel to You Can Count On Me**

A lonely Pegasus, scared by the world around her and content just being by herself. On a faithful day, she earns her cutie mark. What if on the same day, she also found a dragon egg. How would one simple shift change Fluttershy and Spike's life?

AKA, a story I'm surprised didn't get made sooner.
Inspired by The Dragon of sweet apple acres, My Dragon Brother, and Spike Pie.

I am 100% Making this story because I found this picture while surfing the web and found it Adorable in every way.
Warning, this story does have Genderbending.

After a human wakes up to find that he's changed species and gender, he/she ended up spending a decade as an adventurer and after gaining a reputation as a member of a well-known group of explorers traveling the world. They have decided upon their next destination... Equestria.

But what led this human turned Dragon to this point?

This is the story of Flare Blacksmith, dragoness, traveler, Explorer, and did we forget to mention that she has a strong resemblance to a certain baby dragon named Spike?

This story is heavily inspired by the longtime favorite of many, Ten Years Gone, by Some Other Guy.

This is a prequel to a upcoming rendition of ten years gone called Ten Years Redone

I fully admit that the initial concept is not mine, and that some chapters have similarities to the original. I would gladly contact the author of the original if not for the fact that he has completely disappeared, and hast not been on the site for quite some time.

Artwork is not mine, source is unknown, All credit goes to them and I would be more than happy to accept a more original variation.

Spike was always different from other dragons. Sure, he still had many of the standard abilities of a dragon (such as flame breath and really tough scales), but he also liked reading more than other dragons did and didn't enjoy many of the same activities that gave other dragons pleasure. He was also adept in the field of alchemy. His only friend growing up was the Dragon Lord's daughter Ember.

Now, however, he has a chance to find out WHY he is different from other dragons, even if it means saying goodbye to his only friend. However, if he isn't like any other dragon, then what is he like?

Is there another out in the world like him or is he truly alone?

If he isn't alone, then where will this new path take him?

Many adventures with new friends and dangerous new enemies will give him the chance to find out, for better or for worse.

The only way to see where he will end up is to keep moving forward and never look back.

This story is a sequel to The Villain: Total Eclipse

It has been three years since the Spike the Dragon was defeated in what is now known as the "Eclipse Uprising". The kingdom of Equestria has since healed its wounds, and has been rebuilt to its former glory. However, whispers circulate across the kingdom about the straining relationship between Princess Celestia and her former apprentice, Twilight Sparkle. Still, the kingdom has had a unyielding peace these past few years.

Unbeknownst to the ponies, a new threat is looming just to the south.

This story is a sequel to The Villain

After many years of neglect and mistreatment, a seed of hatred was born in the heart of a baby dragon. From that hatred, Spike attained the power of the Eclipse Dragon, but it is not enough to slake the rage that clings to his very soul. He desires the complete destruction of Equestria to make the ponies pay for what they have done to him. He will use everything in his power to see them suffer. It is up to Twilight and her friends to stop his plans from coming to fruition. And perhaps, they will reach out to the kind friend that they once knew.

A friend often feels neglected and mistreated by the others. Sadness turns to anger, anger turns to revenge. This friend lashes out at the mane six by becoming the most devastating villain that they have ever faced. It is up to the girls to fend off this new powerful foe while trying to figure out who it is that unleashed the terrible terror in the first place.

After a long, grueling trial, the Crystal Empire was finally freed from the dark influence from King Sombra, once and for all. The triumph was tainted, however, by a tragic sacrifice. Now, with one of them gone forever, Twilight and friends must find a way to cope with the loss in their lives.
