Spike was pretty freaking sure that something was going on. For a few weeks, he had watched Twilight Sparkle and her other friends drift apart. "Hey guys, wanna go to the Six Elements theme park?" He would say. Then he would be rejected in six different ways, because Fluttershy was going to have a tea party with Spite, and Applejack was going to pick apples with Lies, and Twilight was going to have reshelving day with Idiocy's help, and Rarity and Greed were going to the spa, and Pinkie and Grumpiness were going to have an all-nighter sleepover party. Even Rainbow Dash, who loved rollercoasters, was going to race with Conspiracy. Plus, they never did anything with eachother either. And they were starting to treat him differently. Fluttershy would occasionally snap at him, Applejack would act suspiciously as it she wasn't being entirely truthful, Twilight would not react to him shirking his studies. Weird. 

And another thing- he was staring to notice odd things about their new friends. For example, he would sneak up on Applejack and Lies at the orchards, and just for a minute, Lies would appear to have wings, or fangs, or two horns from different animals. Like a- what were those things called? What Discord was? Oh, Spike remembered. A draconequus. And everything  he saw his friends, they seemed just a tiny bit grayer. 

"C'mon, Twilight, stop being stupid and hang out with your other friends once in a while. You hardly even see them anymore!" Twilight snapped viciously back at him. "Ugh, why don't you STOP BEING SUCH A NOSY LITTLE PAIN IN THE PLOT AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! What I do with my friends is MY BUCKING CHOICE!" 

Spike had to do something before his friends stopped being friends and became enemies. Yikes. Can't let that happen, he thought.
