Today was the the day something good was going to happen thought to himself while getting stuff for twilight. He had been asked to get some plants for one of twilight lesson. He had left the castle early and was still tired so he went to sugarcube corner to get some coffee and a cream filled doughnut. He was walking to the door when he looked up and seen that the moon was still high in the sky and that there were still some stars left. He continued walking down the path to sugarcube corner and whispered to himself "Twilight make sure you can find soempony else to do your stuff" and with that he walked until he noticed pinky pie hanging out front of sugarcube corner and he decided to scare her.
Spike walked up to the door as soon as pinkie pie had opened it and walked straight to the counter and order a strawberry frosted doughnut and a small coffee and left to go back to get the plants that twilight need for her new lesson with Starlight. He did not notice that farther down the path was a changeling stuck in the tree. He was heading towards the edge of ponyville about to enter a forest and as he walked into heard a noise that was not animal like and started to heads towards it. When he came to where the noise was he noticed that it was a changeling stuck in a tree and it was looking at him with sadness in his eyes and it said "help me dear dragon do not be afraid I will not harm you I promise.
Spike was worried that it was lying and faked being stuck but he noticed it was trying to push itself out but then only struggle and started to cry and cry. So spike went behind the tree and pushed from behind and noticed that the changeling was starting to move out and then *pop* out went the changeling who flapped it wing and spike looked through the hole to see the changeling smiling and he looked over to a bush and noticed that on the ground was the plants were their that he need. So he piked them and put them into his bag and went around the tree to see the changeling still there looking at him with a smile.
The changeling looked at spike and held out its hoof. Spike was cautious when he took it but then notice that the changeling started to shake his hand and spike calmed down a little and looked at the changeling and said"my name is Spike what is yours? The changeling looked at him and said"my name is Christopher but that is to hard and to long to say so I gave myself a nickname and that kind of stuck. My nick name is Chris and nice to meet you spike. Thank you for saving my life, Hey do you want to be friends Spike?"
Spike looked at Chris and shook his head yes but told him that they had to keep it a secret from everypony and that if they were caught they would both be in trouble and with that they set up a place and time to meet and went there separate way and hung out later that day and from weeks on they had become close friends and would hang out at the secret spot from then on. Month had passed and it had begone to snow and it was also close to heartwarming eve and Spike wanted to get a present for his best friend Chris.
So later that they he asked twilight if he could go out for a while and she said yes.
