Chapter 1: Hide and Seek

"What they found in the basket surprised them at first. But has finally amazed and astonished them…,"

Counting by a large oak tree, is an Alicorn mare with a purple coat, a dark purple mane and tail with pink and purple streaks, and a cutie mark of small white stars circling a bigger magenta star. The purple Alicorn is right now counting with her eyes covered as if she was playing a game with someone.

"...Eight…Nine…Ten! Ready or not, here I come," She said as she uncovered her eyes and starts seeking.

"The Filly was revealed to be an Alicorn, who they have decided to eventually adopt and raise as one of their own. They named her Twilight and she grew up alongside Spike, a Dragon who was hatched and adopted on the same day. The two were almost like siblings from birth…,"

Twilight and Spike, a light mulberry winged Dragon with a light spring budish gray underbelly and light lime green ear fronds, were playing around with each other playing hide and seek and tag. Yet, Spike dodges Twilight and Twilight misses.

"...And a more oddly-match, yet compatible pair of siblings Equestria has never seen,"

"You'll never catch me this time, Purple girl," Spike teased, flying off to hide.

"Oh, yes I will, Spike. Don't forget that I'm really good at seeking," Twilight said as she started looking around for her adopted Dragon Brother, unaware he was flying stealthy behind her.

"As for Twilight. She, like all of us, accepted the world into which she was born. Believing she belongs here and being one of them. A purple winged, horned one of them, true, but one of them, nonetheless…,"

Twilight looked around the area to find where Spike had hidden. Of course, it wasn't long until she noticed a familiar tail of a familiar color peeking out from behind the tree. Now knowing where he was hiding, a knowing smirk appeared on Twilight's face as she approached the tree and found Spike hiding behind.

"Nice try, but I see you my little scaly fire-breathing friend," Twilight smirked.

"Okay, so you've found me. But let's see if you could catch me, Smart Girl," Spike challenged as he started flying off, starting the game of tag.

"Yeah, you better run, because here I come," Twilight chuckled as she chased after the young dragon.

Twilight and Spike ran, and flew in Spike's case, around Ponyville until Spike came to a stop as Twilight caught up to him.

"What's the matter, Twilight, can't fly? Oh, that's right you walk everywhere. That's too bad," Spike taunted with a faux-sympathetic smile.

Twilight made a short laugh and smiled, "Oh, you're toast when I catch you," Twilight promised.

"Well, come and try to get me, twinkle hooves!" Spike taunted, shaking his tail at her as he started flying off again.

Twilight then took charge and ran after the little dragon until they came across a flower stand with different kinds of flowers. But one appears to be moving all on its own and has its eyes on Spike for some reason.

"Must be tough to lose all the time, Twi-Aaah!" Spike tried to say before he found himself snatched up by the plant and swallowed.

"Alright, let me out of here, you overgrown Flytrap!" Spike demanded, his voice mumbled inside of the plant, "Um, Twilight, seriously, lend me a hoof here, will ya, sis?".

"Gee, Spike. I don't know. Trapweed's gotta eat too, you know," Twilight said with a teasing grin.

"Twilight, Whack It! Do something. I'm your buddy and my wings are getting moldy," Spike begged.

"Oh, alright," Twilight rolled her eyes as she charged at the Trapweed with her horn and gave it a few good whacks.

The Trapweed made a gurgling noise and spat out Spike and sunk into the ground to recover…

Spike collided on Twilight's chest, covered in plant slime and fell onto the ground.

"Boy, now I smell as funny as you," Spike joked at Twilight, before he stood up, "Haha, and that's a pretty bad funny, see ya later, Twi," Spike chuckled as he started flying away again.

"Typical gratitude from a dragon," Twilight commented with a raised brow.

Then Twilight regave chase for Spike again but however they ran a little far from Ponyville and came across a mysterious forest. Spike stopped near the entrance of the forest as Twilight caught up.

"Hey, wait a minute, that's cheating, Spike! Mom and Dad said we're not allowed in the Everfree Forest," Twilight reminded Spike of one of their parent's rules.

"Oh, please. Excuses, excuses," Spike scoffs, looking at his claws "Either catch up or give up, Sparky," Spike said as he flew into the Everfree Forest.

Twilight shook her head and ran into the forest herself to find Spike and bring him back before he might get hurt.

As she entered the Everfree Forest, Twilight looked around to see which way Spike has gone to and where he might be.

"Now, where could've that little gecko gone to now?" Twilight asked herself.

Twilight then stopped and listened until she heard a familiar voice ahead of her.

"Hey, has anyone seen a purple winged unicorn thing around here? I've seem to have lost mine," It said, Twilight sighed and shook her head.
