leaving ponyville
Spike walked over to the small red plastic train seat and sat down. He put his duffel bag next to him and leaned back in his chair. He wrapped his dark purple jacket around himself and leaned back in the chair. As he relaxed he looked out of the window as the train slowly started to speed up.
Spike was a mix of half human on his mom’s side and half dragon on his dad’s side. He had purple scales all over his body and tail and vertical green scales that ran the length of his body from head to tail, and two large green ears. He was 5’ 11” and was taller than the average pony yet still small for a dragon.
He looked out the window as the only home he had ever known was left behind. He didn’t know where he’d go or what he’d do but for the time being he didn’t care about any of that. All of his “friends” had abandoned him, betrayed him, or ignored him. He didn’t want to think about that now though.
He looked around the train car; there were three other ponies in the car. One was the conductor who was going around collecting tickets, a brown coated pony wearing leather duds, and a magenta pony wearing a t-shirt and jeans. There was nothing special about the ponies and nothing that caught his eye so he looked away from them. He returned his gaze to the rapidly receding train station, there was nothing there for him now. He looked away from the window, the conductor approached and said
“Ticket please” emotionlessly. Spike got out his ticket and handed it to the man.
“Where are we going anyway?” Spike asked
“Appleloosa.”
“Anywhere but there is fine by me.” Spike said relaxing again.
8 hours prior
“Twila!” Spike called running down the stairs of their tree home. He jumped the last few steps and ran into the kitchen where twila was making her morning coffee.
“What Spike?” she asked uninterested.
“The new power pony’s comic is coming out in canterlot and you said we would go if I had my chores done.”
“So I did, but Spike I can't take you today.” Twila said, Spike looked crestfallen at this point “I already have plans to go to pinky's party later”
“You said we would go a month ago.” Spike pointed out.
“I’m sorry Spike but I can't take you all the way to canterlot right now. You’ll just have to wait till it gets to the library. ”twila took her coffee and walked out of the room ending the argument.
Spike was saddened by this. It wasn't the first time twila had gone back on her word with him. Spike grabbed one of his gems from his special hiding spot and bit into it with his sharp teeth. It was amazing, he felt a bit better as he ate it but was soon finished with the gem and caught himself when he started reaching for another.
“Can’t eat all my gems now.” Spike said aloud.
Spike was sad again with the lack of gems and twila letting him down. Again. He decided he’d go and talk to applejack to see if she needed any help and to blow off some steam.
He walked down the path to the apple family farm and was surprised to see the large amount of apples sitting by the barn. While this may be normal during harvest time, the pile was unusual due to the fact that it was still growing season. With his interest piqued he walked down to the farm at a faster pace. As he approached he slowed back down to a walk and called out when he saw AJ and big mac working to get the apples in the barn.
“Hi AJ. What’s with all the apples?” Spike asked. AJ and big mac were strongly built from their life on the farm and were dressed in their working clothes.
“Ah shoot, not now Spike we got to get these apples into the barn before the bugs come.”
“Bugs? What bugs?” Spike asked confused.
“Yeah bugs, there’s a swarm of ‘em headin this way. If we don't get these apples in the barn then there gonna be eaten.”
“Well do you need a hand?” Spike asked
“nope.” big mac said.
“What my jug head fer a brother means is that you would just get in the way Spike.” AJ said setting her current bucket of apples down in the barn.
“I can help.” he said defiantly.
“Oh really. Then pick up that bucket of apples.” she said
“That’s a big bucket.” Spike said looking at the bucket in question
“Those are the smallest ones we got sugarcube. Why don't you just be on your way now?”
“Hahahaha” laughter came from the rafters of the barn. “Oh man that is good. Spike can't even lift the smallest basket. Ha ha ha ha!”
“Dash! Whatah yall doin up in the rafters?”
“I was just taking a nap when you two woke me up.” she said flying down. “God Spike if you can't lift the smallest basket how do you mean to help out here?” dash asked?
“I’m sure there’s something I can do.”
“Aww come on there’s nothing for you here.” dash said.
Spike looked at her. He realized something in her words. She didn’t just mean on the farm. She ment in ponyville. Twila might have raised him but now he barely saw her and has had to take care of himself completely and even those who he thought were his friends didn't want him around.
Then it hit him. Even Rarity wouldn’t love him. It would be bad for her image; all he was to her was some form of cheap labor. never had she actually paid him for the long hours he worked with her except for the leftover gems from her projects and even those were far and in between. With Chylene getting her veterans license out in manehatten, Pinky always partying and Dash and AJ flat out telling him he was unwanted there really was nothing for him in ponyville.
“Ok dash.” Spike said in a daze “I’ll go then.” Spike walked off away from the farm.
“Now look at what ya done.” AJ “said you got me behind schedule. You’re gonna have to make up for it by helping me.”
“Are you just trying to rope me into helping you.” dash asked
“Of course sugarcube now start moving crates.”
Spike walked in and around ponyville. After wandering in a daze for what seemed like hours he walked home and started to back a duffel bag full of his few possessions in the world. he packed some spare clothes, spare shoes, a multi-tool he had earned from big mac in a bet and seeing as he had earned the tool he didn’t inadvertently set off his dragon greed, he also packed a picture of twila, Chylene, dash, AJ, rarity, pinky, and himself, his gems, and his bits.
With that Spike walked out of the home one last time never to look back. He walked over to the train station and bought a ticket to the first train out of town.
To top it all off, for the next week nopony would even notice he was gone.

meh needs work and dude taller then average pony + dragon = epic strength so you may want to tweak things a bit also make a encounter with Rarity and pinks. Also go to my favs page and read nightmare of a dragon and the rise of Spike the dragon aslo you said antro which means no human half just ponies and dragons that look like humans. Also idea try when Spike leaves he gets chicks or becomes an advencher or a wondering hero. Also if you want to make the Aj and big mac thing more believable at Spike current Size try having him be more a bull in a china shop thing were he is too strong. while Dash mocks him for being a flightless dragon.
PS Big mac isnt a stubborn dick he is a nice guy and would have accepted the help while AJ would be more unsure becuse of the Spike at your surves episode. Also instead of twi acknowlging the promis make here deni it or forget it
pss don't forget flutters try making here scared of the new big Spike. Also you may want to changes the Size thing and make Spike 6'2 becuse 5'11 aint all that big
pssss PM me for help plot wise
This need some work...and I'm Willing to help you, cause it can be ten times greater then my own work.
So what's with the "twila" and who is chylene?
3958240
he's trying to completely humanize the characters.
twilia - twilight
chylene - fluttershy
It could use some cleaning up but there is a lot of potential here.
How much has you written this out already? I'm just a little curious, because you definitely have a bit of a plot bunny to play with. It would kinda suck if this becomes one where updates are few and far in between. (Yeah, I'm mentioning the irony of that statement on my end.)
We stand here at the beginning of what looks to be an very interesting tale, both for Spike physique as well as his psyche. Dragon or not, he still needed to have a feeling of belonging, and once again, we are seeing at a passing glance that it looks like no pony cares. Well, probably in the next chapter, we discover that there are ponies that do care, and once again, they discover it too late to even try.
I'm keeping an eye on this.
Alright you got me interesting on where this story is going to go, I am just wondering and i might have just missed it but how old is Spike here. I mean is is like 13 or 16?Ether way i want to see where this going and how the story develops into more.
3958736 oh okay.
in regards to anthro i'm thinking of changing the tag to add humans as in they were here but you don't see them because ponyville is sheltered as fuck. im going for the kind of crossover where im doing new names for some characters so you can distance this fic from the show and other fics.
also, spike is... well a twig right now, i made him weak so he could get stronger. this becomes the problem of video games where you start as the giant meat block headed tank and end as.. the same meat blok headed tank. if i made spike strong instantly then where can i go with that? besides all he dose is chores and restack the books, while one can argue that books = heavy he can do them one at a time.
thank you all for the imput and feedback i appreciate it alot.

"Also instead of twi acknowlging the promis make here deni it or forget it"
if i were to make her forget it then thsi could be more excuseable and one could say 'oh she jsut forgot' the point is that its supposed to hurt.
"Big mac isnt a stubborn dick he is a nice guy and would have accepted the help while AJ would be more unsure becuse of the Spike at your surves episode."
peopleponies act differntly under stress. there whole life could be crashing down around them becuase of this and its my fault for not clearly stating taht. i made the mistake of not implying this because those who have seen super speedy cider squeezy or read other fics know how every apple is important all year long. if i come off as a bit of an asshole im sorry.3959518
thanks for the encouragement. people who post like you allow me to write more and i dedicate more time to writing then. on the topic of ponies caring, i thouoght zecora or flutter shy (a.k.a. kindness) would have encouraged spike to stay so i had her leave and zecora i cut out from my original idea.

So, in essence, you intentionally forced his claw.......interesting. Another good example of sometimes we, whether as ponies, humans, or otherwise, have to be pushed, shoved, or otherwise "influenced"
in order to make the necessary changes needed to alter one's stand in life. Regardless of what others may say, no pony is going to give you a damn thing worth saving. You have to do it yourself.
Earn your happy ending, young drake!! You will find that it is much more satisfying and more appreciative when one learns how to be better, rather than just having someone do it for them. And, you will learn stuff about yourself that you never knew about yourself before.
