//------------------------------// // Final Chapter: Welcome Back // Story: The Tales Of Spike - Neverland // by Spyro_Story //------------------------------// It is an early morning in the Everfree Forest, Twilight's friends have tried to comfort a purple alicorn with everything they can, but it doesn't help at all, because she had hopes to bring her baby dragon brother back. "It's alright Twilight, I'm sure it could a delay to happen, right?" Starlight said to her, but it doesn't help her still. "Starlight's right, its not like you technically messed it up with a spell." Rainbow Dash said. But the others besides Twilight are just glaring at her for what she said, causing a light-blue pegasi to sweat in nerv. "Yeah... i'll stop talking." "What Rainbow is trying to say is, ya probably miss something from the spell ya read." Applejack sigh. "I didn't." Twilight said to explain. "I just read the opening portal spell book and I never miss read it." But then she sigh in sadness. "Come on girls, we'll be back later tonight, I gotta go recheck the spell again." Twilight Sparkle gets up from the ground and making her way out of the Everfree Forest along with her friends following her. *Twinkle* But suddenly, the mane six and Starlight stopped their track because of the sound when the second Neverstar appeared out of nowhere. Their eyes widened and gasping by its appearance right next to the first Neverstar and shoots out the sparkling dusts like it's a shooting star. "Uuuuuh, a shooting star, let's make a wish." Pinkie Pie said in amazed by it. "I do not believe it is a shooting star, pinkie." Rarity said when the sparkling dusts started to get closer to the ground fast, forcing them to take a step back. By the time when it hits to the ground, Twilight Sparkle look closely when she sees a small figure appears. They gasp because the small figure turn out to be Spike. "SPIKE!" Twilight shouted in joy when she ran towards the baby dragon. "Twilight?" Spike said in confusion, until she gave him a biggest hug. The others were catching up to Twilight and also gave him a hugs too. "Girls, what are guys doing here?" "We're here to rescue you." Fluttershy answered. "Rescue me?" Spike said still in confusion when they let go of him. But he notice that Sparx is with him and started to introduce him to everypony. "Oh yeah, Sparx these are my friends. Girls, this is Sparx." The mane six and Starlight began to say hello to the dragonfly and then Sparx waving at them by meaning hello to them back. "He said 'hello to you too'." Fluttershy said in translation and started to like Sparx already and he also started to like her too with a blush. "Twilight, girls, you're not gonna believe where I been." Spike said to start explaining the time he's been. "Actually Spike, we do know where you've been." Twilight said. But then she gasp by noticed theirs a red cut line on Spike's chest. "Oh my goodness, your hurt." "Oh that, it was nothing, it's just a scratch." Spike stubbornly said to her. "This is not nothing, come on let's get you patched up at the castle." Twilight while using her magic from her horn to lift up the baby dragon and placing him atop of her back. "Oh okay, but after that, I still gotta explain to you all everything." Spike said. Couple of hours later when the sun rises in the horizon into the morning, they all managed to made it back Ponyville. Everypony are having the tastiest breakfast pancakes and Spike telling them his story of his adventure while Twilight managed to patched him with bandaid and Zercora's healing cream on his chest. "And that's how it all happened when we saved Neverland." Spike finished telling them his story. Everyone is speechless to hear that story from him, even Twilight Sparkle was flipping out as the baby dragon predicted back then. However, Rainbow Dash is the first to said. "That was awesome, you've fought those pirates single handedly all on your own." "Well, I didn't do it alone. Tiger Lily, Sparx, and I fought them together." Spike explained. "Huh, Ah don't know who Tiger Lily is, bit ah like her already." Applejack said when she is amused. "Although, ah have no idea there are different natives that are ponies than the buffaloes back in Appaloosa." "Especially those pirates are similar to diamond dogs, but much brutal." Rarity added. "Oh, I wish I want to go to Neverland to see all the beautiful fairies and other critters that lived their. Except the crocodile. " Fluttershy said softly when she feels a little bit jealous and terrified at the end. "Speaking of the crocodile, I can't believe that pirate captain got eaten by it, that was super insane." Pinkie Pie said after she took a massive bite on her pancakes covered in maple syrup and butter like it was nothing. But it is mistake to bring that up on Spike. "I didn't mean for that to happen, it was an accident." Spike said, but he's feeling ashamed of himself for that to happen. Twilight Sparkle placed her hoof around him and said. "I know you didn't mean it Spike. Sometimes everyone had only does this to themselves, not by those who done it." The baby dragon had to think about what she say for a few moments until he nodded to her. "So tell us Spike, how long does it take you both to find all four shards?" Starlight asked. Spike tries to remember when he uses his fingers counts how many days has he been doing all the quest until now. "It took us about... two weeks." "WHAT!" The mane six and Starlight shouted altogether in shock, causing the baby dragon to reacted to their surprises. "No, wait." Pinkie Pie said when she forget to drink the water and spit it out of her mouth. "WHAT!" "But you've been gone for two days, how could you be on Neverland for two weeks?" Rainbow Dash asked with such confusion. "I believe I do know how." Twilight said when she figured it out. "Neverland's time has somehow moved much quickly than Equestria's time, especially stopped everypony's aging forever. That would explain why he's been on Neverland for weeks." "Oh my, I could imagine if I stay this young forever." Rarity said while she brushed her mane up. "Me too." Spike said when he looked at her like she's beautiful while letting the tiny hearts out of his head with a blush. But suddenly, the baby dragon started to belching out the scroll that was send by princess Celestia. He opens the scroll and start to read it out loud. *reading Letter* Dear, Spike My sister and I are relieved you are safe returned from Neverland. We do not know how you have done it, but have succeeded to awaken both Neverstars and reunited each other among the stars, I am very proud of you for being a good dragon and a good friend to everypony in both worlds. Your friend, Celestia By the time when he finished reading the scroll, the mane six and Starlight were gathered in the baby dragon's sides with a smile at him. "Oh, which reminds me, you know what time it is?" Pinkie Pie asked everypony, ready to pop up with a magic words. "Its time for, wait for it... 'WELCOME BACK FROM NEVERLAND SPIKE PARTY!'" Pinkie Pie shouted with joy while pulling out a party canon and blasted out the confetti, causing everypony to laugh. .... Couple of days later back at the Neverland, so much has change since Spike and Sparx left this world. Like for example, Mr. Smee has becoming more than pirate, he became a book writer that he always wanted to be in his life. The lost colts began their ways of becoming the new protectors of Neverland, just like their leader before them. They will honor Peter Pan's legacy and never letting him down. So does Tinkerbell is also helping them too. Since Captain Hook is gone, the pirate dogs is decided to forgive them for doing the bad things they've done. In order to be forgiven, they have to clean up the mess they've done around Neverland and learn their lesson. And finally, Tiger Lily's father has stepped down of his responsibilities of being a chief and pass down to his daughter as the new chief of the tribe. She accepted to take responsibility for her tribe and the duties. If it weren't for Spike, who knows what will happen to Tiger Lily, but he gave her that no one has... is her hope. Neverland is now at peace, thanks to Spike the dragon from Equestria. .... After the party that Pinkie Pie plans at the night time, Spike and Sparx were outside at the castle while taking a walk. When they stopped, they looked up at the two Neverstars in the night sky. "You know Sparx, ever since I got their on Neverland, I wasn't even sure if I was brave enough to wandering on my own. But for right now, I am." Spike said to his dragonfly friend. "Although, I have a feeling that our adventure is just getting started." Sparx had to agree with Spike on this one, they're adventure... has only just beginning. The End *Ending Music* The Tales Of Spike will return.
