The date is Feburar 1 175 AG. I am right now looking after Spike. Twilight has to hold a public speech with all the people in need of hope at the moment. And with Twilight being so widely known and respected as well as the admiration towards her she is the perfect one for the job. And Doctor is visiting an old friend since nothing serious is going on. And so I’m left to watch over Spike.

I brought him to a public playground there are many other children running around and playing. I can see Spike messing around wit a unicorn foal his age with a white coat, a light pink mane and tail, and light pink etes. I can see the two of them playing and having fun. I smiled at that. I’m glad Spike’s having fun.

I then saw a white unicorn with a golden mane and tail, light pink eyes and a golde flower for a cutie mark approach given Spike a scowl. I got up I can see what is happening.

“Rose go to your father and get away from that thing.” The mare said with prejudice. 

The little filly got up “I’m sorry Spike.” She apologized and then left.

“You best scram you won’t hurt my daughter are any of these fouls foul beast.” She snarled,

I saw hurt on Spike’s face and got mad. “Hey who do you think you are saying that about him there are kids here.” I said.

“Exactly there’s kids here this thing can’t be allowed to influence them it should be on a leash.” She said. I saw tears flowing through Spike’s eyes.

“Hey he’s not some animal he’s

“Yes it is.” She snapped.

“No, he's a person you fascist prick.” I stated.

“Can we go now Ditzy?” Spike asked.

“Yeah go beast.” She said.

I glared at her and left with Spike.

“Hey Spike you okay?” I asked.

“It’s just I’m so tired of being judged all the time most people look at mea and see a monster being a dragon sucks.” Spike said.

“Spike, don't say that it’s what you are.” I suad,

“It’s just being a dragon means I’ll be discriminated against if I were a pony I wouldn’t be judged.” Spike said.

“Spike that’s not true.” I said.

“You don’t know that.” Spike said.

“Actually I do Spike I’ve been discriminated for being a pony before.” I said.

“You have.” Spike exclaimed.

I nodded my head. “In my world I’m the only pony withit it everyone else are humans and due to my differences. I two have been called freak and monster many times but my parents were always tere for me and told me to accept myself and know you must.” I said.

I saw hope and gratitude in Spike’s eyes. He hugged me.

“Thank you.” Spike said.

I hugged him back “Welcome pipsqueak.” I said I will always be there for Spike.
