Why Did You Do It?!
After Spike had awoken, the room changed from a mode of sadness and despair to joy and relief. Twilight pushed Rainbow Dash and Applejack aside and hugged Spike.
"Oh Spike! Thank Celestia you're okay!" Twilight cried. Her eyes were filled with tears. Spike's vision was blurring, he couldn't tell if they were real or fake tears.
"Twilight? Rarity? Applejack? Pinkie Pie? Rainbow Dash? Fluttershy? What's going on? Where am I?" Spike asked. Everypony looked at their dragon friend and lightly smiled. Twilight returned to her hugging position, prodding Spike to hug back.
"You're in the hospital champ. You were out cold and we brought you here to keep you alive." Rainbow Dash said. Spike looked at the blood transfusion hooked to his wrist. He didn't know who gave him the blood and he didn't care to learn. He only wanted to know one thing.
"Why did everypony bring me here?" Spike asked.
"Because we care about ya' lil' buddy." Applejack replied. Spike was too weak from just waking up to make an "Are you serious" face. He just shook his head in disbelief. The experience he endured over the past few weeks has proven to him that he was no longer cared for.
"Oh you really care about me? Then why am I forgotten so much?!" Spike stated. "Everytime you guys went somewhere, you either forgot to take me with you or took me then completely forgot about me! It's so not fair. It's like you don't care about me at all!" His words pierced the air like a lance through a soldiers body. The soldiers blood spraying everywhere, just as the effect of Spike's words. Thick layers of remembrance towards forgetting Spike began to surface. Everypony looked at each other with faces expressing guilt and regret.
"Spike, darling. Of course care about you. We never meant to hurt you. We've just been ever so busy lately. I do hope you can forgive us." Rarity said. She placed a hoof on Spike's cheek. Spike smacked her hoof away in disgust. He didn't want any pity. He wanted the truth! Rarity was taken aback by Spike's actions. With how willing he was to always help her, she never expected him to ever smack her away.
"Tell me the truth! Was it all just you being busy? Or do you all not want me anymore?!" Spike exclaimed. Spike's words created the biggest feeling of shock and disbelief in existence. The tension in the air was almost as if every atom in the room was secreting negative emotion. Twilight stood up from her hugging position.
"Spike. Of course we care about you. We just need more time to ourselves now. We never mean to forget you, it just happens. Nopony wants to be without you, especially not me." Twilight spoke. Spike still didn't believe her. His sadness from before turned to rage against them all.
"Likely story! I know how you all really feel! You all want nothing to do with me. You regret even knowing I'm your friend. I've seen it before!" Spike yelled. His words rose questions from everypony.
"What do you mean 'seen it before?'" Pinkie Pie asked. Spike looked around at all of them, took a deep breath and confessed.
"I had a dream. Everyone of you told me to leave. Everyone of you! Rarity told me she didn't have time and told me to leave Carousel Boutique! Applejack didn't want any of my help with the Apple orchard, even though that orchard is enormous! Rainbow Dash didn't even look at me! Pinkie Pie was gentle, but it still hurt. Fluttershy was too blunt. Twilight....you were the worst of them all. You told me to leave and not come back ever. It was terrible. I know it was only a dream, but it felt so real."
Everypony looked in shock at the baby dragon. Spike's words left a feeling of confusion and guilt in the pit of everypony's stomach. Spike's words carried an unsure feeling with them. Twilight put a hoof to Spike's chin.
"Spike, it was only a dream. You should know that we would never say any of those words to you. You are my number one assistant, and I not only that your kind of like my baby brother." Twilight said. Her voice chimed in a calming manner. Spike looked up with what little hope he had left.
"R-really? I'm like your brother?" He asked. Twilight nodded. Applejack stepped up.
"Your like mine too, lil buddy. I'd take your help anytime." She said.
"Me too! You may not be able to fly but you can still help me with so much!" Rainbow Dash cheered.
"Parties aren't the same without friends. If I lose a friend, I don't think my parties wouldn't be the same." Pinkie Pie said.
"Oh yes, we all need you Spike! You're so good with animals. We need go good friend like you." Fluttershy chimed.
"And of course I need my little Spikey-Wikey around to help. You're a very special friend to me. Maybe even a little more." Rarity said. She rubbed her hooves against Spike's head and chin.
Spike's heart skipped a beat after Rarity's words hit his ears. The heart monitor increased in beeps and read a higher heart rate. Everypony had a happy laugh at the sign of Spike's crush. Spike's mood was slowly lifting. He still had the thoughts of killing himself, but they were under thin wraps of kindness that his friends have given him.
Doctor Heart walked in with a clipboard in his hooves and a serious look on his face. When everypony saw how serious the doctor looked, the mood sank to uneasy fear.
"So, how am I doctor?" Spike asked. Doctor Heart looked up and took his glasses off, a sign that something was wrong.
"Well young Spike, we have a bit of good and bad news," Chills ran down Spike's spine. "You will make a full recovery, but you will have to take two of these pills a day. The pony blood that was donated to you will keep you stable, but it will not be as effective for you as reptilian blood. Two of these pills a day will morph the blood in your body into reptilian blood." Doctor Heart said. He reached inside his pocket and pulled out a bottle of pills. He gave the bottle to Twilight.
"What's the bad news?" Rarity asked.
"One of the side effects of the pills is thought or actions of suicide. And seeing that is why he is in here, the pill will only further unstable his mental state." The Doctor stated. Spike sat up on the hospital bed.
"I'll take them. It's okay if suicide is a side effect. I have six friends that will watch and protect me." He said with pride. The six mares all looked at each other and nodded. Twilight kept the pills and followed the doctor to the front desk.
After checking Spike out, everypony returned home. Spike, riding on Twilight's back, kept a light smile on his face. Hiding away how he truly felt. As Spike and Twi returned to the library, Spike dropped down from his pony ride and gave his big sisterly figure a hug before going off to do his chores. Twilight smiled and trotted over to finish organizing the library shelves. She placed the bottle of pills down on the table next to the closest shelf.

Finally! An update!
Waiting forever for this! But it's worth it!
oooh i sense a dark road ahead
......just a hunch
Sigh...I guess I can't blame you, everypony makes mistakes. Suicide isn't a side effect. Depression can be a side effect of some medicines, and that could LEAD to thoughts and actions of suicide.
Glad you brought up the whole, "pony blood doesn't match with dragon blood" debate. But just sayin', there is no known medicine that can change a blood type. Then again, it's Equestria. Magic and all that stuff.
And no offense to the medical systems of Equestria, but how thick is this doctor!? Giving a patient who attempted suicide medicine that could lead to him doing it again!? Since there's no way a blood type changing medicine exists in Equestria, we have to assume that it's magic...but if it's magic, why the plot device side effect?
Okay, everypony, debate away! I love plotholes.
4334479 thoughts of suicide is a side affect... I should know better than anyone... one of the reasons I attempted...
Good story, loving it, a few simpole mistakes but great none the less!!! Cant wait for the next chapter!
4335391 No offense, but did you even read my comment? Thoughts of suicide isn't a direct side effect; it comes from depression, which is a possible side effect.
4336857 T_T I did read your comment, if it wasnt a side affect they wouldnt list it as a commen side affect, the medication I was on had a warning saying "thoughts of suicide may accure, if you or your loved ones have thoughts of suicide talk to your doctor immediately" it is a side affect, not all drugs cause depression, and not all drugs cause thoughts of suicide!
4336857 so not even 5 minutes, I found out, yes, thoughts of suicide are common side effects to medications! Not five minutes and I proved you wrong! Dont ever fucking say Im not informed about suicide and medical connections! Ive been through it! I should know!
4336919 Please calm down; yelling and swearing never gets you anywhere. I want to make one thing clear: YES. Thoughts of suicide can come from medicines. But I don't think you're understanding me when I say that you must be depressed before you try to commit suicide. I'm very sorry that you've had experiences in this subject, but you can't just tell me that someone perfectly happy will randomly decide to commit suicide. Depression and suicide are tied, and the former is, well, the former. Depression comes before suicide, that's what I'm trying to say.
I am very excited for the next chapter. Truly remarkable work.
4334479 That's what I was thinking. I meant thoughts of suicide.
4337127 Okay. Let's chill everypony. I made a few mistakes in my writing. It happens. Also, it's Equestria. None of their logic would make sense in our world.
4339117 Nah, I'm not trying to insult you or anything. I'm just a insurmountable prick-tastic smartass.
4339252 I thought you were just being funny. Either , you're making me laugh!
4337127 true, and I apologize for my crude behavior, but some depressed people dont even realize their suffering from depression, this might have been spikes case... it was for me... I was unaware of depression, I have it, but I was unaware
Luna is slacking off her job.
Tsk, tsk... Bad Luna.
Well... that is kinda... is far-fetched? But we'll see how this will turn out
Yay! Happy Ending
Is this story finished?
4810841 No it's should say "On Hiatus"
4819617 It just say incomplete to me.
4819974 I forgot to change the setting to On Hiatus
4821941 You may want to do that.
a generic excuse for killing himself, shitty soldier analogy, and generic "we love you no matter what". whatever i liked about this story is dead now.
i have to see how this story ends up now...
For some reason I expected a black comedy with Spike making multiple attempts at his own life and finding himself too durable.
Well, I got a message this updated, but nothing there. I hope it is going to continue.
5020044 My thougths exactly
5281024
You and your crazy knots!"
Same here..... come to think of it: that kind of story isn't anywhere to be found.... I've seen some fantastic suicide fics (a couple really cliché though) but no stories that have a comedic twist in them..... what I really wanna see is a character attempting to kill itself and having its plans foiled time and time again with the characters all jolly with them like "Oh you!
So I'm not the only one who thinks that Spike is portrayed as completely useless in the show's canon huh
5383859 Totally.
This feel super rushed
He's okay.
4388547 One of the side effects of the pills is thought or actions of suicide
them are pill out like that i had before. and fucking dangers! but so doctor don't tell side effects.
They're only nice because now that Spike realizes how he was treated, then want him to forget te truth and have things go back to the way ther were.
This story has the pacing of a runaway freight train. The writing is alright and there doesn't seem to be many spelling mistakes, but yeesh. Slow down buddy.
SPARITY ALERT! SPARITY ALERT!
