Leaving and Discovery
One day, Spike was in the Golden Oaks Library, stacking bookshelves, as usual, he sighed as he finished stacking the last book. After the Changeling attack, Spike suddenly had a growth spurt and was about the same height as one fifteen-year-old human teenager, from Lyra's description, although he didn't know what a human was. He also had a muscular build, emerald eyes and green spikes all along his back and tail.
Anyway, today was the day, Spike knew he could do it, all he had to do was ask her, and explain why he should have it and she should let him have it.
Let me explain. From birth, Spike was Twilight's 'number one assistant', even though he was the only one. He had been raised by Celestia and Cadence before Twilight was old enough. Spike was told that he was an assistant so he had to help Twilight, and he was able to get her through her school years, and through the years his work increased. And then once she graduated and moved to the library, Spike worked harder than ever.
He got used to it but then once the move to Ponyville happened, he was excited since he might be able to make some actual friends, but no, intact the work increased since Twilight always left to hang out with her circle of friends. He also got frustrated when the events with 'Owls well that ends well' happened, Twilight ignored him, after everything he had done for her, and even that ended with more work!
And to add icing the the gem-less cake, when Spike left to be with the other dragons during the migration, he was thinking that maybe life could be different from his normal life, but the teens had annoyed him too much, although he wouldn't mind having another go at it, maybe things would be different. He felt like this new life could be better, no more work, just gems and friends to hang out with. But sadly, it didn't work out, so he went back to his normal dull life of helping Twilight, and also helping Rarity when necessary.
Although he had a crush on her since he saw her, it slowly dimmed down to the point he only saw her as a friend, and even then he started to help her out less and less and started doing paying jobs around town, although they were just one time jobs, he still got paid fairly.
But Twilight thought she knew everything about the Drake, she didn't. She thought all he was interested in was gems and rewards for work, that was nothing like him. He had written drafts and ideas for books but didn't publish them since he feared Twilight would either get jealous or take all the credit. He was also interested in drama and acting, but couldn't join the local acting guild since when he once asked Twilight what she would do If he asked to join an acting group, he got a reply ' Well you can't join silly, you're my number one assistant!' Then ran off for a picnic with the girls. He was also interested in music, he had favourite artists and has written drafts of music when Twilight wasn't looking, he also secretly went to concerts at night. He also was a bit interested in blacksmithing, the local blacksmith had let him practise a bit, he had made a few swords and spear tips.
He then heard her enter the main room from her study, he turned to see the lavender unicorn. She has had a purple mane colour with a pink strip in it, the same was with her tail. She also had dark purple eyes and one big star and five surrounding starts for a cutie mark.
"Morning Twilight," Spike said.
"Morning Spike," Twilight said as she walked into the kitchen. Spike followed and sat at the table, Twilight soon joined him with a cup of coffee.
"Twilight?" Spike asked.
"Yes?" She replied.
"I was wondering-"
"Where your chore list is? I put it next to your bed as usual." She said.
"No, I mean. I'd like things to change." He said Twilight put on a confused face.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what I get. I'd like to be paid for my work and given more holidays and rights." He said.
"Oh, ha. Nice joke Spike. That was a good one." Twilight said.
"I'm being serious," Spike said in a deeper tone.
"Oh, well Spike, you're my assistant, and assistants help those who do the actual work, so I see no reason to pay you, also we don't work that much anyway," Twilight said.
"Yeah, when WE do stuff, but let's have a look at this. My choir list consists of doing the dishes, cleaning up your messes, dusting the books, etc. so why don't I get paid for those?" He asked as he pulled out the choir list from behind, Twilight usually dropped it by his bed at night for the next day.
"Spike there isn't that many chores anyway," Twilight said.
"There's 251! and you're usually leaving to have fun with your friends, while I stay here cleaning up everything you've left behind, and your 'standards' of a clean library are too fucking high!" He said.
"Spike, watch your tongue!" Twilight said.
"And also, I've never given a day off! The only times I do I used to help out Rarity, and then that one time with Applejack and the Timberwolves." He said.
"We'll you shouldn't have been fantasising about being with her! Like you had a chance with her." She said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Spike said as his eyes squinted.
"Oh come now, you're a dragon, she's a pony. It would never work!" She said.
"What the hell!? Why do you care who or what I go out with, I mean I heard of Griffon-pony relationships, as well as cow and pony ones and I even heard Braeburn's going out with a buffalo!" He said angrily.
"Spike, I've had enough of your nonsense! What would you even do apart from this? Nap all day?" Twilight yelled.
"Rainbow Dash seems to do it and you don't seem to care. I actually have interests and talents Twilight! Rather than a talent for the best cleaner or best slave." He shot back, smoke flaring from his nostrils.
"Spike, you are not a slave, you're my assistant!" Twilight replied.
"I get no pay and I do everything for you! How am I not a fucking slave!?" He screamed.
"Alright, I understand, you're probably made for some slacking you did. But don't blame it on me!" Twilight said. This statement didn't help, Spike was already gritting his teeth, clenching his fists and smoke flaring from his nostrils. His face now turned completely red as steam started to stream from his ears, his arms flailed uncontrollably and his teeth were starting to Hirt itself from the pressure.
"Now, I'm going to the spa to see Rarity, and I want this mess that you caused cleaned up!" She said as she walked out and angrily slammed the door, causing the books to fall from the shelves and cover the floor from the energy Twilight's Horn released.
"Fuck this! I'm out." He said as he walked up the stairs to his room where he wrote a letter to Princess Celestia and then wrote another note for Twilight, then he did a final check on his letter before breathing fire and sending it up to Celestia.
Dear Princess Celestia
It's me, Spike, I was wondering if it was okay with you and Luna if I stayed in Canterlot?
From, your humble dragon, Spike.
Meanwhile as Spike waited, he pondered of what had happened, Twilight, the pony who he had assisted all of his life just wouldn't listen to him, even if he was taller and more mature, she still considered him as a baby, which annoyed him since he felt like he was at least at an adult pony age.
"I've been used my whole life... and when I need to be listened to. I'm drowned out...hell, Twilight didn't even care about my side of the story when Owlicious came here..." He had to calm down a bit, he couldn't find himself to be filled with rage, he wasn't that type of dragon.
One of the main reason he decided to ask the princess first, was because when he was little and was taken care of by Celestia and sometimes Cadence, he felt like he was treated right. Like he could do what he liked if he did his work, and he did. and he was also thanked for his hard work, unlike Twilight. He then belched out a scroll and started to read it.
To my Dear Spike
Of course it's ok for you to stay here in the castle, I think Luna would be very happy to play with her favourite nephew again, and I can't wait to see my little dragon all grown up.
From your mother, Princess Celestia.
Spike smiled as he finished reading the note and putting it away in the bin. Spike was the first to admit, he had a weird family. From his mum to his wacky aunt, not many could say they had a princess as a mum. Spike and Luna had grown a close friendship with each other as Spike started to play video games, he was able to afford them with the money he saves from doing odd jobs for ponies when he could, if he wasn't busy with Twilight's demands, their favourites were Halo, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, Pony Kart and of course, Super Pony Bros
But anyway, Spike, now happy that his work life with Twilight would stop, headed for the Ponyville train station, bought a ticket, and boarded the train to Canterlot.
_____________________________________________________________
Spike soon got off the Canterlot express, and started to head towards the castle, he decided to walk through the alleyways. Sure it was dangerous, but he was a dragon, about as tall as the princess, there probably wouldn't be anyone who would want to attack.
But as he walked through one, he heard whimpering and crying, he followed the noise until he saw something that shocked him.
It was a mare, hugging a colt and a filly very close to her. The mare was a deep dark blue, with a dark orange mane, it seemed to be very long and straight. She also had beautiful dark aqua eyes and a paintbrush cutie mark.
The colt seemed to have a dark blue mane, a brown fur, and no cutie mark, the filly was the same, no cutie mark, but instead had orange fur and a yellow mane.
"Mommy, I'm scared." The filly said.
"Shhh, it's ok honey, we'll survive." The mare said comforting her children.
"Um," Spike said making his presence known, the mare and the foals looked at the dragon with scared and frightened faces.
"Please, do what you want to me but leave my children alone." She asked,
"Hey, hey, hey. I'm not going to hurt you, alright." Spike said.
"O-Okay." The mare said.
"What's the matter?" Spike asked.
"Well, my husband just took my home, and my money, I have no job. And now. I and my babies have to stay on the street here." She said with tears in her eyes.
"That's sad...hey, how about you come with me?" Spike asked.
"Really!?" The colt asked.
"Yeah, why not?" Spike asked.
"Oh thank you mister dragon!" The filly said.
"Don't worry."
"What's your name?" The mare asked.
"My name's Spike, what about you?"
"My names Creative Paint, these are my children, Electric Buzzer and Singing Melody." The mare said pointing to her children as they got up, but she reluctantly walked towards him. While her children quickly rushed to Spike as they started to follow him.
"So where are we going Mister Spike?" Melody asked.
"Oh, it's a surprise," Spike said, she just tried the puppy eyes, and it worked as Spike immediatly gave up.
"Alright, how about I give you a piggy back?" Spike asked, he couldn't react before the little filly was on his back, holding onto his shoulders, he just smiled and walked on.
"Weeeee!" She said, Creative just smiled, even though this Drake could just be tricking them for personal gain, and he was a dragon which could burn her and her family, she was happy to see her little filly having fun.
They soon found themselves in front of the Canterlot castle doors.
"What are we doing here?" Buzzer asked.
"You'll see," Spike said, soon two royal guards opened the door.
"Princess Celestia will see you now." One of them said Spike nodded while Creative, Buzzer and Melody's jaws all dropped.
"You know the princess, Mr Spike?" Melody asked.
"Eeyup," Spike said as they started to walk into the throne room.

Ummm.....
I like the story, but the proofreader did a halfassed job.
Yis your storys really good cant wait for next chapter
Twilight is a raging bitch.

This is an interesting start. I can definitely see Spike doing this, finally getting fed up with Twilight. I do love that the other three Princesses care for Spike deeply, as well as the implication that Canterlot is his original home.
Since I can see that the main character are Spike, Princesses Celestia and Luna, as well as a OC (the mare that just recently became homeless), I am waiting for more.
In a little bit of a tangential sense, this beginning reminds me of a similar story "Spike's journey", specifically the time when he was in Canterlot. As well as seeing the Princesses once again, I wonder if his hidden talents come to the forefront, and that he meets with some of the Canterlot Elite, like Fancy Pants and Hoity Toity. Hey, how about eventually he becomes a member of the Canterlot Elite himself? And while all those events happen, back in Ponyville, the mane 6 confront Twilight on Spike's disappearance. I expect that if could be split, which some agree with Spike and the others just think Spike is just being a baby.
I graciously and greedily await for MOAR!!!!!!
Aww! Spike is being so nice! It adorable... :3

Except for a few spelling and grammar mistakes, this was fairly enjoyable.
The only other issue is explaining why Spike wandered down the alleyway. Shortcut? Maybe he way carrying something and it rolled into the alley?
As for the rest of the story. I'm kinda of a huge fan of those fics where a character has a terrible job, a lousy boss and just quits.
I curious to see where you go with this and see the interaction between Spike and the family of three. I hope you update soon.
Well Twilight just took Celestia's spot on my Bitchs to kill list and dude stash bomb
KA-BOOOMMMMM stash stashes every were for this story CLAPING
3022252 Hey, I did a nice job!
Before, there wasn't much to work with, but I helped churn this out. If you don't like go find some other editor to bother. I have better things to do than to listen to you say I did a half-ass job.
Like everyone else said, there are spelling errors. But this still got a good review so I look forward to the next chapter to edit. My advice, find more proofreaders. Having only one will make this hard to correct. More eyes can help spot more errors and make the story more beautiful.
MOAR it's sooo goooddd
I like it. Fast, but original.
Im hoping we get a letter from twilight later saying how she is begging him to come home because she cant do anything on her own.
MOAR NOWS
MOAR!
spikes only reaction shoulda been: Twilight, Twilight, Twilight... F*** you then.....
I have to read more
3025112 I believe that she would probably have trouble going to the bathroom if spike wasn't there to wipe her ass.
!
This story is to good to be left on hiatus or cancelled
!
Counting the points brought up by thewaffler there are twenty one things the two of us found. I am not counting the spots where I thought the wording was awkward, those could be differences of opinion. this might not be a halfassed job as TheDerpyOutcast said but it certainly rates as slap dash.
book.After the Changeling [ needs space ]
but no, intact the work increased [ in fact ]
She though all he was interested in [ thought ]
Twilight would ether get jealous [either]
My choir list consists [ chore ]
he pulled out the choir list [chore ]
I've ( ) never given a day off! [ been]
Braeburn's going out with a buffalo!" He said angry. [ angrily ]
your probably made for some slacking you did. [ mad]
his teeth were starting to Hirt itself [ hurt themselves ]
causing the floors being covered in books [causing the floor to be covered ] ???
then he burped up the response from Celestia [ the next lines are the letter he sent to Celestia]
we now come to the spots pointed out by thewaffler
then this one "You now the princess Mr.Spike [know] [ space needed]
Yeah, great behaviour from the country's hero. Especially to her supposed longest time friend.
Well, the story is quite interesting.
But the grammar, I have to say, is rather bad. I had to reread lots of sentences to understand what they meant. Do you perhaps have an editor, or even a proofreader? They definitely come in handy and could make your story more likeable for others.
If you do have one already, fire him/her and find a new one please. I'll keep reading since there is only one more chapter left. Hope it's not as bad though...
