SaphSpike Sidestory
(A/N a bit shorter than I intended but I only wanted to really set the foundation for the ship instead of the actual ship. enjoy!)
“Whoa what's that?” Spike asked as he and Twilight were watching Luna raise the moon from the balcony of the library. They had noticed something approaching from the opposite side of the town from canterlot.
“I dunno...” Twilight said. Luna flew back to the Balcony then with a confused face.
“My eyesight may be going or something...but it looks like there's a young Dragon flying over here.” Luna said.
“Really?” Spike asked.
“Yes, it appears to be about your age spike...just finished learning to use it's wings from the looks...why don't you go help it out?” Luna suggested.
“Sure.” Spike replied and took to the air. The pony-sized dragon had no trouble in his flight, having been taught by the fastest flier in Equestria.
By the time Spike met the other Dragon he could tell three things. First, it was female. Second, her scales were like Sapphires and third, she was absolutely exhausted.
“Hey, come on you need a rest.” Spike said, startling her by flying under her and supporting practically all of her weight. This wasn't a problem, moving bookcases and helping around sweet apple acres every now and then makes you pretty strong.
“W-what?...uh...thank...you...” she replied, confused, between pants.
“No problem...come on, that big tree there.” Spike said, helping her descend.
---
the Dragon had napped for three hours and had a good long drink. Now she was nervously pawing at the ground next to spike as Twilight and Luna looked over her.
“Please don't be nervous, it's not like you're doing anything wrong.” Twilight assured her.
“What is your name?” Luna asked.
“Sapphire...it's just that...um...I never expected there to be two Princesses in Ponyville...” she replied.
“Well Sapphire, why are you here?” Twilight asked.
“Well...I had heard there was a town somewhere that wasn't really scared of dragons because one was living there...I couldn't stand living with the Clans...so I left about a week ago...I went from town to town, trying to ask about the town without causing trouble...Luckily they didn't over react since I'm still young...but uh...I finally found a town that knew Ponyville.” Sapphire explained.
“Which town?” Spike asked.
“Cloudsdale. They gave me a drink and a place to sleep for the night too...I guess all air creatures are friendly to each other sometimes...” Sapphire replied.
“They do have a lot of respect for the flying races. Well now that you're here I don't think sending you away would be best. The Library is big enough to house you with spike though, do you know any magic?” Twilight asked.
“A little, but not much...why?” Sapphire asked.
“Well that can be a viable excuse for the citizens of Ponyville then. A dragon here to study magic. I don't think they'd accept 'I just wanted to live here' Twilight explained with a giggle.
“Oh...I guess you're right...so...would you be the one teaching me?” Sapphire asked.
“the really advanced stuff later, though for most of it Spike will teach you since I can't really use fire breath to do my magic.” Twilight replied.
“But you do pick up a few pony magic tricks when you live with the most powerful Unicorn in equestria your entire life.” Spike continued, snapping his fingers and making a book levitate over to him. He plucked it out of the air and handed it to her.
'Basic Draconic Magic'. Written by Spike Sparkle...is that you?” Sapphire read.
“Yep. Twi helped me a lot though.” Spike replied.
“Well it is getting very late, you two should sleep. Luna and I will be back in a few hours.” Twilight said.
“But shouldn't you sleep too?” Sapphire asked, but they had already left.
“It's only Eleven. Luna is the princess of the Night and Twilight helps her out a lot. Plus they don't get much alone time during the day.” Spike said with a yawn. “Come on, we recently expanded so there's a couple spare rooms you can choose from.” he continued, showing her to a hallway.
“Hey...Spike?” Sapphire asked shyly.
“Yeah?” Spike replied.
“Um...there was...another reason I came...” Sapphire started. Spike gave her a look that said 'go on'. “Well...um...this town...the Dragon Living there...the other Dragons always said he was a freak for living with ponies...but...um...after everything he did with the elements of harmony and stuff you're kind of like...I don't know...not a hero...a legend maybe?” She continued.
“A legend? Nah, I wasn't even a part of most of that stuff. Back in those days the only thing I did was write and send letters and cook.” Spike said with a laugh.
“Oh...well...still...I came because I wanted to meet you...and I'm glad I did...I'll take this one I guess.” she said, choosing a room and quickly entering. But not before kissing the purple dragon on the cheek. He stood there frozen for a full minute before he snapped out of it.
'Whoa...that was better than when Rarity used to do it...' Spike thought as he put a claw to his cheek and went to his own room.

Well I hope you enjoy, this is officially the last Sidestory- unless one of you guys suggests one that I like then I'd probably write it-. my next update will be for crimson dawn and I already have the next chapter in mind.
716488
Crimson dawn?
I have an idea
Luna Twi and the rest of mane 6 reaction to ChrysLestia
...oh damn
I greatly enjoyed this side story. Quite touching.
Anyhow, enjoying the fic very much, the story so far had been very detailed in terms of history, and I have to say I really like the way the relationships between some of the characters have been developed. Please keep up the excellent work, I definetly am looking forward to new chapters!
716698 but the story is done now...that was the last official sidestory. if any more chapters are coming they're just random sidestory somewhat relevant to the story
hehehe i see whats next.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Spike_lolface.png
Did you by any chance read "Love's A Dragon" by Mink!...?
716538The sequel to crimson night. One of his fanfics. Not this sorry.
Spike you sly dog you
717660 never heard of it
718200
i think rarity'll be jelous!
717692
Ohhhhhhhhh.... Might read later.
719543 you have your opinions, I respect that. I am not going to say 'fuck off i liked it' but I am going to say the readers that gave feedback and suggestions made that ending happen. i just turned an idea they suggested into a chapter and gave it a storyline. you have to realize, the first few chapters were written months ago. they were just revised so I completely lost the original intent the story had. and yeah, for some reason it all came out looking rushed...it wasn't intentional for about half of it but i did my best revisiting the parts that were skirted over
719821 go read crimson night. then crimson dawn. THEN you can help create crimson dawn in the comments
720170 it's something I don't have much control over...some words I accidentally have saved in my word dictionary capitalized out of context so that messes me up sometimes, other times my mind unconsciously capitalizes words it thinks are important
718329 Just clearing things up xD
Cause in that story, Spike meets Sapphire a blue dragoness... So I just had to ask
wouldn't mind some more Saph & Spike, i like the idea of that OC ship
721009 well Sapphire is actually the main character in my novel, she's a blue Draconian- sort of my invented race which is a mix of human and dragon- and I've been using the name Sapphire for years :P
720826 sorry, comment was weird looking. anyway, when ARE you going to do that story? i wanna see chapters! lol.
Erm. Am I incorrect in remembering that Sapphire was the name of the Night Shades dragon from FiMsiL? Maybe my mind is mixing up, but I distinctly remember that being NS's dragon's name... If so, Dark you sly dog you, are you planning some kind of crossover? Or are you just stealing story elements? Either is fine with me, as I like how one story can influence the writing of the others, so a blatant port of a character is fine and dandy, especially since said character isn't properly characterized in the original story. Good opportunity there... Which would be an interesting gimmick, interweaving stories, at least with passing details. You know, like in one bit mention seeing a pregnant Octavia, then, if you ever get around to redoing UF, you can mention seeing twilight walking by, or something like that. I'm only using it as a convenient example, but it is a pretty cool idea. Hell, Stephen King did it, why not you? (for those uninformed, Stephen King has ported many a character between each of his novels so that he could use their characterization and familiarity with his audience. Though I haven't read the books, I'd expect that he may have even mentioned his other novels...)
Anyway, that's my idea for the night, now back to reading my library. Oh, speaking of, you should read my last blog post, as it is pertinent to you...
721244 And here I was thinking that Mink was the first person to ship Spike with someone other than Rarity who's not a pony xD
721352 my original intent was to actually have UF as sort of a sequel to celestial connections, just not a sequel to the story. and Sapphire is just a random OC dragon I have. for dragons i match up colors with gem names, or use something like Midnight
Me likes! Nice story
DOES CELESTIA APPROVE?????
(not that i give a buck)
806462 lol I'm 16, but i type fast so it happens
826389 you enjoy the word fabulous...
seems legit
884776 this is a revision of one of my first fics so it is a bit shoddy, and trust me...neither did I
885020 How many years would this sidestory be after the main story? I'm curious of what you imagined as Spike's age at this point.
896189 I have no idea but I'm guessing not too far along, he is pony sized instead of gigantic
913086 that didn't really make much sense
Great story. I have been meaning to read this for a bit over a month by now. Finally read it. I never see good stories with a luna twilight pairing. But this story is over the top.
1012072 twilune is one of my fav pairings, my page is full of em
1013213
Well I'm going to check that out. I have lots of fav pairings.
687232 for the record, I almost never rush. I'm just a very fast writer
2046066 i liked it too, and i literally just ccame up with it on the spot lol. people were begging me to make them all alicorns so yeah
wait
who's sapphire
is she
made up
or what
I like the idea behind this story, but there just must be more description in it. The characters are also a bit flat and OOC. Sorry if you can't understand what I'm saying, I'm not real big on explaining things.
What I'm saying is: it's good but the wording needs to be changed a bit before I'll read it.
3712592 I guess this was a long while before that happened, or at least before i knew it happened.
if you think about it it was inevitable and obviously gonna happen, that's why it was so prevalent and such a boon in fanfiction.
it was hilarious how butthurt everyone got when it happened though...
3804559 magic *waves hands around*
3804559 I guess you would call that Holy Fluttershy.... Upon achieving that level of perfection, I would burn out my eyes upon seeing that so nothing mars the beauty.
bring more out! I need moar
please? 
5348134 This was years ago, man. I mean every now and then I'll go back and reread a story and go through the comments, but if it's more than a month or two old it's best to leave it be.
the person either grew up or is still just the same little ass hole they were years ago and it just sparks another flame war
5356027 I agree wholeheartedly. Most of my stories tend to be like that. I have ideas and concepts that have the potential to go far and some of them just never stop, but alas. I lose the drive for a story after too long, or I back myself into a theoretical corner by unintentionally making it so there needs to be a mountain of filler and explanation between ideas and it kills it for me.
I wanted to expand more on this story, I wanted to expand on a hell of a lot more, but I started losing the drive to keep going with it despite its popularity- mainly because of the kind of story it is- and so I ended it as best I could at the time rather than leaving it to die in the incomplete stories mountain that I've accumulated.
Awww. I really like the idea of Spike learning to use some Pony magic by being raised by the Ascendant Alicorn, the Element of Magic herself. Also I love when people explore Spike and Twilight's relationship a bit. As someone who had a non-traditional Father figure I know those feelings can be complicated, but the Love that comes of it is just as real as a "normal" parent relationship. .
D’awwwww Cute

I assumed calling the story "very 2012" would make it clear that I am aware of its age.
Well, maybe I should've dialed down my cynicism a tad.
And I am familiar with your later works and several have found their way onto my shelves.

If your intent wasn't to offend you did a pretty poor job of wording it, but I'm glad you liked other things I've written. I've had too many people message me years after a story is completed or is no longer being written to try and break down and criticize things with current knowledge and standards when these stories are years if not a decade old. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy interacting and talking about them- that's why I still check this site daily. I'm just not interested in criticism about plot points nearly half as old as me. I'm sorry if my wording was angry before, I was frustrated for the above reason.
