Chapter 1: Rainbow Dash (Fixed)
Ok. One: Who's this guy? Just walks in here and stands there in front of that fountai- we have a fountain? And two: That guy looks so COOL! Cloak, sword, a traveller's backpack, and everything! Just who is that guy? Though, he does look familiar. Like, really familiar. I can't put my hoof on it. Gah! It's bothering me, and I don't know why! Maybe because I haven't eaten breakfast yet… Yea. That's it. I just need to- Whoa. Is that?... That's one HUGE sandwich he has there. It's, like, longer then Big Mac! How can you make, or even have, that long a sandwich! He's going to eat, sitting there? That sandwich though… does look yummy...*gurgle* Ok, tummy. I know you're hungry. I am too. I wonder if...
Rainbow Dash slowly floated down to the stranger, who was already a quarter done with his sandwich. She gulped. For every inch she moved toward the stranger, her mouth watered just from the smell. She landed in front of him, who finally noticed the pegasus. He looked around and every pony was going about their business. His attention was back at Rainbow Dash, who was a lot closer then he remembered. He just looked at her while she stared at the behemoth of a sandwich. After a long silence, the stranger laughed. Rainbow Dash came back from reality after dreaming of waffling down the sandwich. She looked at the stranger with a puzzling look.
"Is there something wrong, buddy?" She asked, while taking quick looks at his breakfast.
The stranger's enjoyed laugh slowly died down to a near chuckle. He wiped a tear from his eyes and looked at Rainbow Dash in the eyes. He noticed that she kept looking back and forth from him to his sandwich. He looked down at his meal, pretending to eat it, but was looking at the pegasus the whole time. Rainbow Dash gulped, trying to keep cool as she tried to have a conversation with him. The stranger stopped.
"You know," he said," I've traveled for a long time. It would be nice if a certain pegasus *cough, cough* would sit next to me so I could share my breakfast. An old friend of mine once said, 'Food is a fascinating thing, but eating it alone will not show you it's full potential.' So, miss. Would you like to have a meal next to this stranger?"
Wait… Is this guy for real!?
Rainbow Dash took no time settling herself down next to the stranger.
"Really?" she asked, "Cause I don't want to be a bother taking some of that awesome sandwich you got there."
"No, believe me," The stranger insisted, "I can hear your stomach begging for it."
Rainbow Dash quickly blushed and looked away shamefully. The stranger chuckled, and in addition, he patted her head.
"It's alright," he said, "Everyone has those moments."
He placed the half finished sandwich on the fountain stool between them. He stood, drew his sword, and all Rainbow Dash could do was stare in awe at the sword. The blade shined a metallic purple shine that grabbed all of her attention. In one motion, the stranger swung the blade and Rainbow Dash flinched, closing her eyes and shielding herself from the sudden action. She slowly opened them, easing up as she saw that he already sheathed the sword.
He smiled and said, "Well? Go on," gesturing to the sandwich, "Eat up."
She turned to see the sandwich split in half with a clean slice. She looked back and forth between him and the neatly split sandwiches. Without a moment's notice, she quickly took a sandwich and took a bite. In that one bite, her tastebuds exploded. Never before had she ever tasted a sandwich so marvelously delicious. Compared to Fluttershy's home-cooked meal, this sandwich alone set itself on a whole new level of awesomeness. Rainbow Dash took another bite of the glorious sandwich and was blown away. Every time she took a bite from the Celestia blessed food, it got better and better. The flavors of lettuce, carrot, sprinkled sugar, and this other taste she didn't seem to recognize. It was a weird greenish, orange-ish mush.
"It's a rare herb from the fields of Rengea." the stranger said, noticing her looking at the sandwich oddly, "It takes any vegetables it was ground and heightens it's nutrients, also bring out it's true flavor. It was ground with sun dried, left-over vegetables, then mixed with some water. Many chefs would pay top bits for just a small pouch of these herbs. Very hard to find, let me tell you that. "
Rainbow Dash swallowed the sandwich she was chewing and looked at him in disbelief.
So, I'm eating a top bit herb in a sandwich, and the herb is something even Fluttershy doesn't know about!? But she's, like, the herb nerd in this town!
"I see that you're done with your portion of the meal," He shook his head and laughed, "Mares these days, and I thought colts would eat more."
"Sh-shut up!" Rainbow Dash pouted, "It's not like I wanted to eat it all! It was just too… good…"
The stranger chuckled a little and looked into the sky. She didn't understand why, but the more she looked at the stranger, the more he seemed to be really familiar; like, her chest tightened whenever she looked at him.
"Hey," he asked, "I'd like to have a look around town, then visit a library here. I want to read a certain book and a friend of mine said that this library has the book I'm looking for. Mind showing me around?"
"Sure," she replied, "Hope you can catch up though. I'm the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!"
"And the biggest braggart," he said, "Glad to see you haven't changed after all these years."
"What do you mean 'all of these years'?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "Who are you anyway?"
The stranger merely looked at the sky and said, "In due time, my friend."
He stood up and took a deep breath. As he exhaled, bits of smoke and dragon fire came from his mouth.
"Welp. Off we go! Shall we? I'd like to do a little grocery shopping for lunch. You're welcome to join me, if you want."
With excitement, confusion, and eagerness all wrapped into one, Rainbow Dash showed the stranger the town of Ponyville. She realized she hasn't even introduce herself.
She turned in mid-air and said, "My name's Rainbow Dash, by the way. What's your's?"
"Uh," the stranger thought for a moment, " I'd prefer not to tell you now. I'd like my name to be hidden for a while. In the meantime, you can call me, uh, Scales."
"Ok?" she questioned, "I'll call you that, but you better keep your word."
The stranger raised his right hand.
"Dragon's honor."

Please get to the next chapter soon! The wait is killing me! I want to see their faces when Spike reveals himself! I bet it will be awesome!
3804060 It hasn't even past chapter 5 yet.
Don't fret yet. I will satisfy your desires. 
3804060 And I just realized that I liked by a well-known author. Because of that, I have been re-motivated to make Chapter 2. Will come out today.
Though it'll be late at night...
3804162 WAIT! WHAT NOW? What well-known author?
3804175 Because I say so.
3804179 I meant, what well-known author changed your mind? Who is this person we must thank for next chapter coming out early?
3804193 B25. He's also a friend of mine.
Badass. That is all.
3804500 Why thank you sir.
3804519 Uh… Thanks?
3804602
I think I might have my second motivation.
3804602 Also, I've read your "Legacy of Spike" or something like that. When he was with Gilda, I practically died laughing.
olny thing i think is wierd is Rainbow dash saying mister what is this a 60 sitcom
3804696 I couldn't think of anything to say for Spike. I thought of "stranger", but that sounds like something AJ would say.
3804713 mabey bub
Keep 'em coming! These are so good mate, I love this story so far!
you have peaked my curiosity stranger, do go on.
MOAR!
hmm, this so far is a interestin read n' i can't wait to see t mane 6's reaction

; i mean yes i know u put that done n' everythin but, come on spike, u could hav done better 
3804847 What about buddy?
3806345 This sounds better. Thanks
HOLY FUCK I'M SPIKE AND I'M MYSTERIOUS!
That's how it feels
Once again you made it interesting and at the same time made me sad it is already over and i have to wait again lol. I think it would be funny if Spike started to kick himself over the persona he just made. I hope the next one he meet is Applejack. Like save a filly from a run a away applecart. outrun dash, and save her with great strength while being kind. That would impress then both. Making AJ redder then a stop sign and Dash pop a wing boner lol. Keep up the good work can't wait for the next one.

What;s with Spike and his alias ? Why can't he declare that he,SPike has return home ?
Write more!
Way to be to mysterious Spike. Seriously though how can Rainbow not know its Spike? What have there been other dragons visiting Ponyville? Have there? That would ecplain why she thinks she knows him but can't place who it was.

Rainbow Dash is not the brightest mare, not stupid by any means but takes longer to notice small details.
Nice, keeping his identity hidden but giving clues to who he is, I love it
