//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Change in Perspectives // by Animated Rarity //------------------------------// I do not own my little pony or its characters all rights reserved to Hasbro. The sun was shining all through Equestria on this early morning. Ponies were going through their business as usual. All in all it was a pretty normal day. Except for six mares and two princesses who were on there way up a mountain. Walking in the middle of the Everfree forest towards the mountain in the distance were Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and the two princesses Luna and Celestia. This day held a very special meaning for all of them. This day five years ago Spike left to take his five year nap. (Flashback) Twi.... Is this really all necessary? Of course it is Spike. Every dragon needs a hoard when they sleep. At least I think they do ......hehe... The other dragon had one. Yeah but he was also a jerk. And besides why do I need to sleep I feel fine...really. Yeah maybe say that without yawning next time darling. It makes it more convincing. Fine.....I'll take the gems but no more crying ok? Yeah all this sappy stuff is so uncool. He's just taking a nap not dying. Funny com'n from the mare who was layin on my tree branch cryin 'er eyes out. W...w..what...I told you I had a apple seed in my eye aj. Haha sure w'ever ya say RD. Awww I knew I was handsome but to even have Rainbow falling for me and you still want me to sleep? I'm pretty sure I can postpone this nap for a date....or two. Easy casanova I never said I was falling for you. Just because you got taller and more toned....and stronger.......and hot doesn't mean I fell for you. O...oh my Ooooohhh Rainbow has a crush! Rainbow has a crush! Sorry we're late everypony. Princesses!!! Hey Luna! Hey Celestia! Glad to see you could make it. Of course Spike we...I mean I..wait no..yes WE as in me and my sister wouldn't have missed it for the world Haha yes We definitely had to come Spike. Thanks you two but why do I have to sleep for five years? Spikeeeeee.....I told you before its so you can grow and develop with the possibility of getting wings and magic. Oh yeah....well if you girls don't mind I have magic to take.....I mean wings.....I mean a nap I have a nap to take. Haha ok Spike we'll all miss you. Twi its not like I'm dying......I'm just gonna sleep.....for....five years. Awwww group hug! Come on Pinkie Spike doesn't need a hu..woah..

Oh hush Rainbow bye Spike we'll see you in five years. Spikeyyyyyyyyyyyy! —————---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are we there yet?" complained Rarity. " All this dirt is sticking to my hooves and......AHHHHHH" Rarity yelled. The group turned towards her with concerned faces. "What's wrong Rarity? Are you okay?" Twilight asked worried about her friend. "I'm...i...IM SWEATING!!" Rarity whined. They all gave her deadpanned looks while Rainbow Dash groaned. "Ughhh....why couldn't we leave her in Ponyville?" Rainbow questioned. "Sugarcube ya kno we can't do that. Especially not today." Applejack stated. "Why don't we just teleport? Or fly? Or take a carriage? Ooh ooh ooh why don't w..." Twilight sighed as she used her magic to silence Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie we can't teleport there or fly because it would be to energy draining. And we need our energy for when we get there." Twilight stated matter-of-factly. "oh..." Pinkie stated sadly. "Do not fret Ms.Pie for we are almost there!" Luna stated enthusiastically. Pinkie gasped running up the mountain at full speed. "Hurry girls he's waiting for us!" Pinkie shouted towards the girls. "Now were talking!!" Rainbow cheered flying after pinkie with the girls running to keep up. "These mares never cease to amaze me with their boundless amount of energy dear sister." Luna stated while facing Celestia. "Yes they are amazing aren't they? Well shall we take the scenic route? It has been a while since we strolled through the Everfree together." Celestia stated nostalgically. "Why? Afraid all that cake went to your fat plot?" Luna teased while sticking out her tongue and running up the mountain. "Oh it is on." Celestia said while chasing after her. "Ruffians.. I for one am a lady and I shall not partake on something barbaric as running. Just imagine what it would do to my make up." Stated Rarity matter-of-factly. "Ughh Rarity there is nothing 'barbaric' about running. Its a form of exercise all ponies need. And besides what if they get there and you're not there and he assumes you didn't care enough about him to c......." Twilight tried to finish but couldn't as a white blur sped past her. "I'm coming Spikeyyyyyyyyyy!" Rarity yelled as she ran off up the mountain. "Yeah but its soooo unladylike." Twilight rolled her eyes as she ran to catch up. As they all raced up the mountain where the first red dragon Fluttershy used her stare on to make him fly away weeping they all had one thought on their mind. "We're coming Spike!"
