I truly care for Rarity with all my heart, but I guess telling her about it will have to wait someday."

Rarity felt tears welling up in her eyes. "Oh, my little Spikey-Wikey!" said Rarity, as she wiped her eyes.

"Looks like the only one left is you Twilight." said Applejack looking at Twilight.

"Oh, I already know how he feels." said Twilight. "He's my number one assistant and friend."

Applejack was looking in the diary as her eyes widened. "Oh my," She said.

"What?" said Twilight.

"Oh my goodness." said Applejack as she teared up a bit.

"What does it say?" asked Twilight.

"Here, Twi." said Applejack, smiling as she handed Twilight the diary. "Ah think you should read it."

Twilight looked in the diary and read.

Now it's time to move on to Twilight. Remember how I said Fluttershy is like a second mother to me? Well, it might sound strange but...Twilight is like my first.

Twilight's eyes widened as she held her hoof to her mouth in shock. All the ponies and Jiminy were also surprised. Twilight then continued to read, not knowing of the water starting to form in her eyes.

I know it may sound silly since Twilight's a unicorn and I'm a dragon. But she hatched me when I was just an egg. And she's always been there for me ever since. The more I thought about it, she's like the mother I never had. There was last mother's day when I wanted to tell her that.

Twilight Sparkle had just said goodbye to her mother Twilight Velvet, for she along with Spike had spent the day with her. As Twilight and Spike walked inside, Twilight turned to Spike. 

"Did you have a great time, Spike?" said Twilight.

"Yeah, but, uh..." said Spike. Twilight then knew Spike was hiding something.

"Spike," said Twilight, suspiciously. "What have you got there?"

Spike then pulled out a golden necklace. In the center of the necklace was something that looked almost like Twilight's cutie mark.

"Spike," said Twilight, very touched. "It's beautiful. But why?"

Spike was about to say something. But then he stopped. He just couldn't say it.

"Just wanted to do something nice for ya." said Spike.

"Well, I really appreciate your gift Spike." said Twilight as she gave Spike a light hug. "Thank you."

"No problem." said Spike. He then walked upstairs as he let out a silent sigh.

I thought about telling Twilight right there, but I was too scared and nervous to see how Twilight was going to react. I just really don't know how she feels about me.

Tears were flowing from Twilight's wide eyes while reading. The ponies and Jiminy were all crying from what Twilight read from Spike's diary.

"We need to tell Spike about this." said Twilight, wiping her tears.

"Are you kidding?" said Rainbow Dash. "Spike would be so upset if we found out we read his secret diary!"

"I don't think he will when he sees what he read." said Twilight. "Jiminy? I need you to write something in Spike's diary for us."

"Sure thing." said Jiminy. He picked up a quill and dipped it a little in the ink.

"Dear Spike," Twilight started.

A while later, Jiminy finished up what Twilight and the other ponies had to say.

"Oh my goodness!" said Fluttershy. "Spike's coming home!" All the ponies and Jiminy hid upstairs while Twilight still remained in the library. Spike then walked inside the library and saw Twilight dusting the library.

"Twilight?" said Spike.

"Oh, hey Spike!" said Twilight. "I'm just cleaning up the library! I just need to dust upstairs and I'll be finished!" Twilgith then hid upstairs with her friends as Spike looked confused as he saw his journal on the desk he worked on.

Spike picked up his diary and saw on the next page after the one he left off and read. He also didn't notice the ponies and Jiminy sneaking downstairs and watching him read.

"Dear Spike, Before you say anything, we are very sorry we looked in your diary. It accidentally came across us and accidentally happened to see what was inside. And about what we read, you don't have to be scared. How you feel is understandable. That's why we want you to come with us on Family Appreciation Day tomorrow. We all love you Spike.

Love Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Mom

"Mom?" Spike said as he read that part, confused. Spike then realized something. He started to get teared up while having the biggest smile he could ever make.

"Spike?" said a voice Spike knew. He turned and saw the six ponies and Jiminy all smiling. Twilight, who had tears streaming from her eyes had her arms open. Spike smiled happily as he ran into Twilight's embrace while crying tears of happiness.



The ponies all joined Spike for a hug as Jiminy watched happily. Jiminy then said. "I guess in the end, we are all connected in the great Circle of Life."

THE END
