At the cemetery, Spike's burned body was placed in a coffin. Everypony were wearing all black. Discord was sitting next to Fluttershy, stroking her mane. Pinkie Pie was leaning on Maud's shoulder, crying a river. Twilight was by the coffin, paying her respects to her lost dragon friend. "Good bye, Spike.", she said softly as a tear fell down her face.
Scootaloo stared Twilight's face, then she looked at Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, Spike said that everything will be fine.", she said.
"I know, Squirt.", Rainbow Dash said.
"I'm just glad Javier Black is dead.", Spitfire said.
"But, we lost two friends.", Thunderlane said.
The coffin was placed in the hole. "Before we bury this coffin, I would like to have Spike's friends say some words about him.", the priest said.
Twilight went first. "Spike was the best number one assistant I've ever had.", she said. "He maybe a dragon, but, he did great helping us. He had a future ahead of him and I wish his life wasn't cut so short." She walked to her seat and sat.
Rarity walked behind of the hole with the coffin inside. "My little Spikey-Wikey was such a great helper and the best little dragon I've ever met in a long time.", she said. "He loved me so much that I wish his life wasn't cut so short. I will always love him whether he's with me or not."
The grave digger started burying the coffin. Everypony started leaving.
Mr. Stripes stood by Rarity's side. "I'm so sorry about your friend.", he said.
Braeborn and Little Strongheart was walking with Applejack. "Spike was a great friend, I wish his life wasn't cut so short to.", Braeborn said.
"He sure was, cousin.", Applejack said.
"I thought he was awesome.", Little Strongheart said.
"Yes... he was.", Applejack said.
Apple Bloom touched Spike's tombstone. Babs walked over to her. "I'm sorry about the dragon, I mean, I hardly knew him.", she said.
"That's fine, cousin.", Apple Bloom said. "I just wish there was a way to bring him back."
Discord hugged Fluttershy. "Spike did his hardest not to let you down, but, now he did.", he said.
"But, why would he sacrifice himself for us?", Fluttershy asked. "Did he do that to save us?"
"Maybe, I don't know.", Discord said.
Rainbow Dash hugged her wonderbolt friends. "Thank you for helping me and my friends (even Spike) on taking down Javier Black.", she said.
"Yeah, I'm glad we stopped him.", Spitfire said.
"No matter what happened back there, I bet he deserved it.", Thunderlane said.
"And we're very sorry about Spike.", Soarin said.
"Don't worry about it.", Rainbow Dash said.
Pinkie Pie hugged her sisters as tears kept falling down her face. "Spike, should've used his powers to kill Black.", she cried. "Without him, how will me and my friends be a whole family."
"Don't worry about that dragon friend of yours, Pinkie.", Maud said.
"Yeah, at least you have your friends with you.", Limestone said.
Twilight still sat in her seat, she wanted some more time to look at Spike's tombstone. "I'm sorry your friend caused himself to get burned, when he grabbed Javier Black and they fell into that hole full of fire.", Gabby said as she wrapped her arms around Twilight.
"I will like to thank you for helping us, Gabby.", Twilight said. "From now on, you are the mayor of Gryphonstone now."
"Thank you, Twilight.", Gabby said with a tear in her eye.
Spike did a great job killing Javier Black, and he thought his life would be longer to be with Rarity so they would get married. But, the soul of Spike the Dragon lives on.
