To say that the girls had had great adventures would be an understatement, since Twilight Sparkle had transferred to Canterlot High, the Mane 7 had been through a lot, and all of them related to the magic of Equestria.
Her fight at Camp Everfree against Gloriosa Daisy.
The time the girls lost their memories related to Sunset Shimmer due to the power of a magic stone used by Wallflower Blush.
Or even that adventure on the cruise ship where they met Equestria for the first time.
But summer vacation was about to end, the girls would enter their last year at Canterlot High before graduating which would mean a big change.
But what they didn't know is that they weren't the only ones facing big changes.
This is the story of a little purple dog, who had always been by Twilight's side, who will live a great adventure in which he will demonstrate how important he is, one adventure that will change his life.
Forever.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is:
EQUESTRIA GIRLS: DRAGON´S AWAKENING.
Home of the Sparkle family.
The sun had risen, which woke a purple dog with green floppy ears, he was Spike, he came out of his doghouse which was in the Sparkle family's yard, “Another great, beautiful day.”
Since Spike learned to speak, due to an incident involving Equestrian magic, Twilight explained it to her family, who were really surprised, but since Spike had lived his entire life with them, they decided to accept it with their open hearts.
Spike looked inside his dog house, it was better arranged thanks to Twilight and the girls, who were in charge of making it more comfortable for the dog, he had a small dog bed where he slept, next to him there was an open bag of dog biscuits, there were 3 cookies left, but Spike ate one leaving only 2, “Yum.”
But something that caught the attention were a pile of comic books that were next to his bed, when Spike learned to speak, he also learned to read for unknown magical reasons, the comic books were about a group of superheroes known as the Power Ponies, along with their dog superhero named Hum Drum, Spike enjoyed those comics, they were very entertaining, and of course, they were easier to read than the huge books that Twilight showed him.
“Spike,” came a voice.
Spike turned around and saw that it was his owner, Twilight Sparkle, although Sunset sometimes referred to her as the other Twilight or Sci-Twi, this because she had already met the Twilight Sparkle from Equestria, he was also told about a Spike from Equestria, he was interested in meeting him one day, because he was told that he was a dragon.
“Good morning Spike,” Twilight told him as she leaned down to pet him and scratch his ears.
“Hi Twilight,” Spike greeted her back while wagging his tail for comfort.
“Are you ready for today?” Twilight asked him.
"What are we doing today?" The little dog responded with another question.
“We will go to the Canterlot Museum of Science and Natural History,” responded its owner.
“Oh that,” Spike sighed, “Twilight, we still had a week left on summer vacation and you decide to go to a museum.”
“Wow, Rainbow Dash said the exact same thing,” Twilight said in amazement.
A few hours later, on the streets of Canterlot.
Twilight was heading to the museum and carrying Spike in her arms.
“I don't think this is a good idea,” Spike told her, “What if they don't let dogs in?”
“Spike, that's ridiculous, of course you can come in,” Twilight responded, “Besides, we haven't been able to be together lately.”
Spike had to agree with Twilight there, since she couldn't take him to the cruise ship or to Equestria Land.
“Believe me, this will be a perfect time for us and Sunset Shimmer to enjoy,” Twilight told him.
“Twilight, Spike,” greeted Sunset Shimmer who was standing in front of the museum door.
“Speaking of the devil,” Twilight said with a smile, “Sunset.”
They gave each other a hug.
“Hi Sunset,” Spike greeted her to which Sunset took the little dog in her arms and hugged him.
“I see you're even more excited than me, since you arrived before us,” Twilight Sparkle said with a smile, “How is that possible?”
“Because of the new exhibit they're showing,” Sunset Shimmer replied.
“So that's what it's all about,” Spike thought.
“A new exhibit?” Twilight asked her.
“Yes, come in and I'll explain,” Sunset responded.
A few minutes later.
Twilight, Sunset, and Spike had entered the museum, guided by Sunset.
“There it is,” Sunset Shimmer pointed to the display, it was a kind of tiara like the ones princesses wear, the tiara was a light blue color, it seemed to be made of crystal, but what stood out the most was a ruby in the shape of a heart embedded in the center, on the plate under the tiara, the following could be read: AMORE´S TIARA.
“Amore's tiara?” Twilight and Spike asked at the same time.
"According to history, this tiara belonged to the queen of a distant kingdom which no longer exists, the crystal kingdom, she was known as Queen Amore, the entire kingdom loved her for the love she transmitted to her subjects, ” Sunset Shimmer explained to them with emotion, but then her smile faded as she continued with the story, “But tragedy came the day the queen was murdered.”
Spike gulped at that, quickly jumping into Twilight's arms.
"She was murdered?" Twilight Sparkle asked her.
Sunset Shimmer nodded, “That's right, one night, when she was sleeping, one of her guards, the captain of the royal guard precisely, Captain Umbrum, entered her room, took out his sword and…”
Sunset was silent for a moment, but Twilight and Spike knew what happened.
“Thereupon, that scoundrel tried to steal the tiara in an attempt to try to rule the kingdom, but his plans were frustrated when the other soldiers caught him red-handed, he tried to flee but there was no way out, cause the queen was sleeping on the highest floor of the castle,” explained Sunset Shimmer.
"And what happened next?" asked Spike who was too interested in the story.
“Captain Umbrum was not planning to spend his last days in a dungeon, so he took the tiara and jumped out of a window,” explained Sunset, “They found his body, but the tiara was supposedly lost for more than 500 years but miraculously they found it several weeks ago.”
“Wow,” Twilight exclaimed.
“And do you know why I was so interested in this story?” Sunset Shimmer asked them to which the two shook their heads.
“Because where I come from, Equestria, there is a story similar to this,” Sunset Shimmer told them.
“Really?” Twilight asked in surprise.
“Just how this one?” Spike asked just as surprised.
“Something like that,” replied Sunset Shimmer, that was when she told them about Queen Amore of Equestria, the Crystal Empire and the evil King Sombra, she continued until they reached the present day, where the Empire had returned, but with that, Sombra had also returned.
“But that was when Spike, even with all the fear in the world, decided to give the crystal heart to Princess Cadence,” Sunset Shimmer continued, until reaching the final part where Sombra was defeated.
“Wait, so you're saying my counterpart from Equestria is a hero to the crystal ponies?” Spike asked.
Sunset Shimmer nodded, “That's right, the ponies were so grateful to him that they decided to make a statue in his honor, the Crystal Empire knows him as Spike the Brave and Glorious.”
“Wow, I wish to become a hero too,” Spike said.
“You can be a hero Spike,” Twilight Sparkle told him.
"It would be cool to think about that, but the truth is that I cant, I'm just a dog, not a dragon, I can't fly or breathe fire, I don't even have magic like you girls," Spike responded a little discouraged.
“Spike, the girls appreciate you very much, you don't need to have magic or dragon powers to stand out,” said Twilight Sparkle, who carried the puppy in her arms.
Sunset smiled at him, “Spike, did you know that the other you from Equestria couldn't fly at that time, and he didn't use his fire either.”
"What? But he's a dragon, he would have easily burned Sombra,” Spike responded in surprise.
“The other Spike is aware of that, but he knows that he is much more than those abilities, he is a very kind being just like you, and prefers to avoid violence,” Sunset Shimmer told him.
“Wow, that's very noble of him,” Spike said.
“That's right, so don't get discouraged, even if you are a dog, you will do great things,” Sunset Shimmer told him, making Spike smile.
After a few seconds, they had been staring at the tiara, but Spike thought the heart shapped ruby that the tiara had embedded seemed very strange, he looked at it for a few seconds but at that moment...
FLASHHH.
Something happened, suddenly the only thing Spike could see at that moment was green fire which was quickly consuming the museum.
“Ahhh,” Spike shouted, causing him to fall from his owner's arms.
PLFTT.
Spike fell to the ground.
“Spike, are you okay?” Twilight Sparkle asked him, Spike opened his eyes again and realized that there was no fire in the museum, he was confused.
“Did it all happen in my mind,” Spike wondered, then looked at Twilight, “Yes Twi, I'm fine, I just got distracted for a moment.”
Although his lie was weak, Twilight and Sunset believed him.
The day continued its course, the 3 saw other exhibits in the museum, although they did not deny that the most interesting was the tiara.
After saying goodbye to Sunset Shimmer, the two returned home.
Hours later at the Sparkle family home.
Twilight Sparkle was in the dining room having dinner with her parents, Night Light and Twilight Velvet, her brother Shining Armor was not there because he had moved in with Cadence.
On the floor Spike was eating dog food in his bowl, but he was still thinking about the tiara and that strange vision he had.
“Spike, are you okay,” Twilight Velvet asked.
That brought Spike back to reality, “Oh, I'm fine Mrs. Velvet.”
“Seriously, buddy, you haven't touched your food, does it taste weird?” Night Light asked him.
“No, the food tastes good,” Spike responded, taking a bite from his bowl, “I just had a few things going through my head, Mr. Light.”
Night Light smiled and caressed him, “If there is anything that worries you, you can tell us.”
“Thank you very much, it means a lot to me,” said Spike, who finished his food and headed to the dog door that led to the yard and, therefore, to his doghouse.
“That was weird,” Twilight Sparkle said, “Normally Spike is full of energy and always hungry, but since we got home from the museum, he hasn't been the same.”
“Maybe you should talk to him tomorrow, dear,” Twilight Velvet said to which Twilight nodded, she wasn't going to abandon her pet, because he was also her first friend.
Hours later, night had fallen.
Spike was sleeping in his bed inside his doghouse, but he wasn't feeling well.
“AHHH.”
When he managed to close his eyes and sleep, images of green flames flooded his head, after several minutes, it would not be difficult for him to assume what was happening. “Would it have something to do with that ruby?”
But again the images of green flames were still present, that's when Spike suffered a slight pain in his paws.
“Gyahhh, what's wrong with me,” Spike complained in pain as he could feel his doghouse shrinking more and more.
Spike began to feel strange things in his body, he felt cold, he felt discomfort, he felt suffocated.
“Stop,” Spike pleaded and after a few minutes, the pain stopped, but Spike fell asleep at that moment as if it had knocked him out.
The next morning.
“Spike,” came Twilight's voice which woke Spike up.
Spike opened his eyes, only to realize that his doghouse had indeed shrunk, he had to ask Twilight and Applejack to repair it.
With effort, Spike left his little house to say good morning to his owner, “Good morning Twilight.”
But when Twilight looked at him she got a big surprise, “Ahhhhh, who are you?”
Due to the fright that Twilight had received, she fell to the ground.
“Twilight, what do you mean?” Spike asked as he left his doghouse.
“Wait a minute, Spike, is that you?” Twilight asked, still scared.
“Who else could it be,” Spike responded with a mocking smile, he had already left his house, but he felt that something was not right, it was difficult for him to be on all fours and he felt something dragging him, when he turned around he realized that he had clothes on, jeans and a green short-sleeved shirt, “Did you put clothes on me while I was sleeping?”
“It can't be, you're Spike,” Twilight said surprised, “What happened to you?”
“What happened to me?” Spike asked very VERY confused.
Without answering, Twilight quickly showed him her reflection in a mirror that she had taken out of her backpack, that's when Spike understood.
When Spike looked in the mirror he saw that he was really wearing clothes, but that wasn't what stood out the most.
He realized that he had grown, his fur had disappeared but what changed the most was his face.
“AHHHHH,” Spike shouted as he realized that the face he saw in the mirror was not the face of a dog, it was the face of a human boy.
He became a human in one night.
"TWI, PLEASE HELP ME," Spike shouted feeling scared of his new body.
