//------------------------------// // Spike // Story: A Choice Between Two Doors // by Silver Shadows //------------------------------// A baby dragon should not be faced with two doors. However, he was pretty much sick of doing everything Twilight asked him to do. When Twilight could’ve levitated a book to herself, he had to use the extremely complicated organization system to find the exact book. Then when a mishap would happen in the library, it was his job to resort every single book there and do every single one of Twilight’s orders. So why didn’t he choose the dark door? Spike eventually saw Twilight as a sister, especially when she had hatched him. After some time, it was almost like watching a studious sister arguing with him. Besides, after he had met Rarity and saw her when she was getting affected by that book... let’s just say that he wasn’t exactly going back to the other side. He had been tricked into the darkness once. Spike had became greedy and grew to be a giant dragon that endangered Equestria. Only Rarity pulled him back into the light, with her gem shining his generosity. When he had grown jealous of Twilight’s owl, he had ran into a cave and endangered himself. It was then when he felt like he owed his life to Twilight and Twilight didn’t even blame him for it. Spike never had any true friends until Thorax came along. Twilight’s friends usually just put up with him, besides Fluttershy, but even she was a little distant from him once she had gotten over the fact that he was a baby dragon. Thorax, a changeling, had changed his whole life without really knowing it, even though Spike didn’t see Thorax that often. Ember was a whole other story. Spike had given her the role of being the Dragon Lord because she was different from the other dragons and he valued her as a friend. Spike ended up choosing the light after that, even though he was inching towards the darker door at first.
