Spike's Past

by pokefreak13


Hatred and Forgiveness

"There you a,"

"Zip it!" Spike hissed as he entered the library.

Twilight shut the door and then walked up to the baby dragon. Her brow slanted and eyes full of concern. Spike has never talked to her in that kind of language before. Something must've happened to the poor dragon.

"Spike, what's wrong?" Twilight asked, her voice as soothing as Fluttershy's.

The baby dragon looked up at the alicorn. Hot tears of hate and sadness trickled down his cheeks. Then, Spike took a steady breath and told his friend everything that happened in the cave.

"I'm sure Celestia had a good excuse, Spike." Twilight said once he was finished.

Spike shook his head. "I doubt it. She'll probably just make up a lie and steal you from me too!" The purple dragon shouted.

Twilight put her front hooves on Spike's shoulders. "I could always write a detailed letter saying that she should explain herself." She offered.

However, the baby dragon shook his head. "I want to see her face to face." Spike replied.

"Than that's what we are going to do." Twilight confirmed.


After three hours of waiting, Twilight and Spike could hear a chariot pull up towards the house.

"Remember Spike, give her a chance to explain herself." The purple alicorn reminded before going into the kitchen.

The baby dragon nodded his head and gazed at the door. "Give you a chance, I don't think so Twilight." Spike muttered under his breath.

Once the door opened, Celestia walked into the living room gracefully. Her eyes sparked with kindness and wisdom.

"Twilight told me that you wanted to speak to me?" The princess asked.

Spike forced a smile on his lips. "Of course I did." Than he motioned at the two chairs by a fireplace. "Please take a seat."

Celestia nodded happily and trotted up towards a recliner chair. Once she got comfortable in the seat, that's when Spike made his move.

"You know, I've always wondered how you obtained me." Spike said, taking a couple of steps towards the unsuspecting horse.

"You have?" Celestia asked, gazing towards the baby dragon.

Spike nodded, a dark smile formed on his lips.

"So you want me to tell you?" Celestia questioned.

Spike scowled. "I already know princess" He spit the last word out like it was poison.

A shiver ran down Celestia's back. "Y-you know?" She gulped.

"Oh yes I do." Spike smiled. Every step he took got him closer to his victim.

"Spike, I can explain!" Celestia shouted.

"Is something wrong?" Twilight hollered from the kitchen.

"Everything's fine." Celestia reassured, than she turned towards Spike. "Before you try and strike me down with your shard of glass, let me explain." The sun princess commanded.

"I don't want to hear your excuse!" Spike roared, then he charged at Celestia. Revealing the shard of glass in his claw.

Celestia sighed and used her magic to levitate Spike in front of her. The baby dragon struggled, however he soon calmed down once he realized that it was useless.

"Let me go you kidnapper!" Spike growled.

"I am not a kidnapper Spike! If you just hear my explanation then you'll understand." Celestia informed.

The baby dragon crossed his arms and pouted. However, he looked at Celestia. Giving his full attention to her.

"You have two minutes." Spike grumbled.

Celestia nodded, took a deep breath, and began to explain her side of the story.


After I got back to Canterlot with you, my parents tried to use a hatching spell on you. However, for some reason it didn't work. So for to centuries we had the best magic users try and hatch you. Nothing worked, so I decided to create a school for gifted unicorns. The task, to try and hatch you.
For two years nothing happened. However, soon a certain purple unicorn tried to get into my school. Once she hatched you, I instantly brought you back to your original home. But time was not in my favor.
When I entered that cave, the first thing I saw were two elder dragons with walkers. I knew that they were your parents; however I just couldn't bring myself to give you away to dragons who already have a hard time taking care of themselves.

"So, you decided to take care of me." Spike finished.

Celestia nodded sadly as she lowered Spike to the ground.

Spike wiped tears from his eyes before looking up at Celestia.

"I-I'm sorry." Spike apologized.

Celestia smiled sadly. "I'm the one who need to apologize Spike." She replied.

The baby dragon shook his head. "No, I'm the one who tried to kill you before listening to your side of the story." Spike pointed out.

"But I'm the one who never told you about your past. I should've told you from the start." Celestia explained.

Spike blushed. "I guess we were both wrong."

Celestia blushed also. "You're aright."

After a few minutes past, Celestia cleared her throat. "Friends?" She asked.

Spike nodded. "Friends." He agreed.
