As last week’s Friday, that was a nice day; a little bit nicer than usual
Just as last morning, Spike woke up by his own. The sun was bright and the birdies were chirping beautifully. Everything indicated Spike that he had a beautiful day before him. School, Rumble’s party and finally meet with his brother to go to the Crystal Empire.
The dragon jumped out of the bed and began to make his bed when Lyra stepped in willing to wake him up, but seeing he was up already, she just smiled and hugged the kid.
“Ehem, Lyra?” Asked Spike a little ashamed.
“Sorry pal, is just I’ll miss to wake you up every morning, you know? Maybe you weren’t here under the best circumstances but we enjoyed your company. Thank you Spike”
“Thanks to you” said Spike sadly. “It was nice to know I could count on you during this whole misunderstanding. Now, shall we go for breakfast now or we give Bon-Bon some more time?”
“Let me see” said Lyra sniffing the air. “Yep, it smells like its ready”
Then the two of them went downstairs where Bon-Bon was already waiting for them with cheese omelets, orange juice, chocolate and fruits. Bon-Bon seriously put a lot of effort on it.
“It smells wonderful!” Said Spike deciding where to start.
“Well, is the last meal you share with us. This is our way to say good bye and wish you well with your family. Thank you for the extra days you spent with us, Spike” smiled the cream-coated mare.
And they ate happily, chatting about different subjects until it was time for Spike to go to school; where he was received warmly by his classmates, especially Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle who knew the story.
“Aw, this is what I call a show of affection” smiled the teacher.
“Is just that we’re gonna miss our friend, that’s all” said Feather Weight.
“He’s the best goal guard we ever had!” Assured Rumble.
The kids chuckled at this and a couple of them threw some paper balls to the Pegasus, but then Cheerilee called to order and everypony sat on their desks waiting for the class to end so they could go to Rumble’s. Cheerilee even finished early so they could go sooner.
“Classes are over! It’s party time, come on!” Announced Rumble.
And he flew at full speed and before he realized, he left all his classmates behind.
“This party better worth having to tolerate Rumble this whole week!” Sighed Scootaloo taking her backpack and checking that her present to Rumble was still there.
Rumble’s house was on the outskirts of Ponyville, behind the train station. It was a huge house, not as big as Diamond’s and Silver’s but it had at least four rooms and a perimeter fence decorated with balloons, streamers and such. And the closer the foals get, the louder they heard the Power Ponies theme song.
They got inside the house and much for Spike’s surprise, the first thing they saw in the hallway were two black and blue swords with Princess Luna’s symbol engraved on it.
“Whoa, I didn’t know Rumble’s parents were Lunar Guards” said the dragon to Feather Weight.
The Pegasus colt giggled.
“Yeah, they spend most of their time in working in Canterlot; that’s why Rumble lives with his older brother”
No pony said more and they ran to living room, where most of the furniture were removed (there was only one large table with a tray of cupcakes where somepony draw all the characters of the Power Ponies, a bowl of fruit punch, chips, gummies and much more). In the center of the living room, there was a disco-ball hanging; and right behind it, DJP0N3 was doing her stuff.
“I like it, but a dance floor?” Asked Snips.
“Dance floor? Where did you get that idea? This is a war zone!” Explained Rumble.
Then Rumble’s party came in, they seemed pretty intimidating since they still wore their uniforms of the Lunar Airforce (a long black trench-coat with an embroidered silver moon on the back and blue armor); but they gently smiled and show the kids the piñata they were carrying. It was a piñata with the shape of the Mane-iac.
Next, the garden door opened and the Power Ponies came in claiming that their mortal enemy was there and they needed their help to defeat her, and gave Rumble a bat so he could start. Rumble grinned and began to attack the piñata, then the team of heroes gave bats to the other kids and one by one began to destroy the villainess spreading candy all over the floor. With the foals running all over trying to get as much candy as possible, of course somepony ended up receiving a blow on his head (Button Mash). Everypony were having fun, and when the piñata was finally destroyed and emptied, DJP0N3 changed to the Power Ponies’ battle theme.
“Now it’s when the real fun begins!” Shouted Rumble.
All the kids ran to the backyard, where the team of heroes (after pose for several pictures with the colts) gave all the foals masks and water balloons; and as Rumble have said, the living room became a war zone. But soaked and all, the kids were still having fun.
“So this is a kid’s party. I can get used to this!” Smiled the little dragon.
And suddenly, Rumble hit him with a water balloon.
“Hey!” Protested Spike.
“Wake up buddy, or you’ll become everypony’s target!” Warned him the Pegasus.
Spike groaned annoyed and began to throw several water balloons to Rumble, who extended his wings and gracefully eluded them all even if his feathers were soaking wet. But when he landed, he slipped and accidentally threw two water balloons to Scootaloo.
“Rumble!” Said angrily the filly.
“Come on! It was an accident” said the colt.
“Well, this won’t be an accident!” Warned Scoots starting to chase Rumble.
Spike just looked at them with a sweat-drop on his temple.
“This two are going to end killing each other”
“You mean marrying each other” giggled Sweetie Belle aside him.
The games continued until Rumble’s parents, Night Wing and Red Hood, followed by Thunder Lane entered to the war zone carrying some pizzas.
“Who’s hungry?” Asked Thunder.
Everypony, obviously, since all the kids practically jumped over the pizzas and start devouring slice after slice. It was madness, but in a good way.
“Just remember to leave enough space for cake” said Night Wing happily.
The cake looked beautiful, as the rest of the party, it was decorated with the image of the Power Ponies. Spike smiled, he really liked this party and wished this moment to last forever. He didn’t really get why this was the first time he assisted to one of those, but even if he didn’t get it, he didn’t really mind. All that mattered was that he was there with his new friends.
They sang ‘happy birthday’ and then gave Rumble his presents, Spike didn’t have one but Red Hood assured him it was okay; they understood. Finally all the guests received an extra bag of candy to take home and everypony returned home.
Spike was confused why his brother didn’t come looking for him, but he didn’t mind. He went to Lyra and Bon-Bon’s ready to meet Shining or his parents, but instead he saw:
“TWILIGHT!”
“SPIKE!”
The two siblings ran to hug each other. It was good to see each other again, this was just what Spike needed to end a perfect day. So everything was going back to normal? He wouldn’t have to live in the Crystal Empire? He realized the two of them were crying, so what? They really needed to see each other.
“Twi, o Twi! I missed you so much!”
Twilight didn’t say anything, she just held Spike tighter.
“Twilight…”
“Oh Spike, you don’t know how happy I am to see you! I thought I couldn’t stand it, but you’re here and…”
“So this means this whole misunderstanding is all cleared?”
Twilight sobbed and cleaned the tears from Spike’s eyes. And then it was the first time when Spike took a glance of the ponies around: Shining, Lyra, Bon-Bon and one of the ponies of the social services. They all were looking expectantly.
“We’ll give you some time alone” said Shining.
So they moved to another room.
“Twilight?” Asked Spike.
The lavender unicorn took a deep breath, how to explain this to him? Shining managed to get permission for a supervised visit, but in exchange to tell Spike the truth. Would he be able to forgive her?
“Twilight?” Asked again Spike confused at Twilight’s nervousness.
“I’m so sorry Spike, but there’s no way things can go back to normal”
Twilight felt her heart breaking when she saw Spike’s look when she said that.
“Spike, I really don’t know how to explain you this but… but… there was no misunderstanding”
“What do you mean?”
“They took you away from me because I couldn’t take care of you properly”
“What do you mean?”
“The thing is Spike, during the years we’ve been together I couldn’t take care of you as I should; no, you were taking care of me and that’s not correct. Before we realized it, I ended up taking advantage of your good will and… at the end I hurt you Spike, making you work for me doing all the housework and… and… at the end I was stealing your childhood Spike”
“What do you mean, Twilight?”
“I mean I met more mistakes that the law and the common sense allows me. Spike, I’m so sorry…”
“But Twilight!”
“I was a fool Spike, and when we arrived to Ponyville our problem only got worse when you started taking care of the girls as well… with all the favors you did for us you didn’t have any time left to play with other kids or go to school. I was nothing but a selfish teenager, so that’s why they took me away from you”
Then Twilight held Spike tighter.
“So that means I would never live with you again?”
“No Spike, for the first time I have to think in you before me; that’s why you can’t be at my side anymore, you must be with someone who can take care of you as it should”
Spike simply separated from Twilight and escaped.
“Oh Spike, it was never my intention to hurt you”
I see what you did there.
The vision that Spike have when seeing Sombra's Dark Magic Door is coming to fruition.
Truthfully it my complaints were never about if twilight and her friends did right or wrong the only ones to really use spike were rarity and twilight. AJ learned his help caused more work ..lol.. Spike couldn't really help RD with her job or interests and Fluttershy didn't really need him with the animals because she had angel and Harry the bear. Pinkie you figure never really needs help from anyone. My complaint was why were they the only ones getting flack .... Celestia and her parents needed to get b**** slapped for their hands off raising approach of twilight then expecting her to be able to raise spike on her own instead they blame her for what she did to spike ...when you think about it the reason spikes so mature for his age is because thats all twilight knows emotionally she didn't have a childhood really either ... she studied to get into CSGU but immediately became celestias student and was then pretty much left to read old musty tomes with maybe the rare interactions with celestia . Rarity is just a manipulative b**** who uses child labor ..lol...
Boooooooo! Boooooo! Reunite Spike with Twilight! Boooooo!!!!
good chapter, but now things are getting sad

That's one of the central problems. Applejack, for example, hardly did anything to Spike. Other than making him pies. And for that, Cheerilee somehow got a restraining order on her. The town's treating them like they molested him. To watch Twilight and her friends be so contrite, so wracked by guilt, only to have all the adults sans Luna all but spit on them is frustrating.

Especially considering they stopped nightmare moon and discord who directly terrorized the town. All they would have to do is say " You know what screw you all .... discord there all yours " only thing that can stop him is the elements or fluttershy. The 2 princesses can't they allready tried and lost. We never did get to see how there mistreating fluttershy .... maybe there smart enough not to f**k with discord only friend...for now atleast.

They might not be real friends yet. This story happens way in the past, that's why Twilight is still a Unicorn and the library is around.
I can kind of see what happened being bad, but there forgetting one important thing as well. Twilight herself is still a teenager from what I can tell and shouldn't have been in the position she was anyway. Sure she was mature for her and ny wayne but still. They just need supervision to be together again.

Hymn ..... maybe ...... the discord reform and crystal empire are the same season ..... taking him to the crystal empire dumb anyway with all the hero worship and stuff they'll practically be throwing at him will guarantee another greed growth spurt and since he's a celebrity there all the suckpumps who will latch onto him flattering him. Plus cadance and shining have a kingdom to run to. She rules and he's running the guard again he's gonna be neglected there too. Maybe they might get some meals together but.......i say Just leave him in ponyvile and address the school and friends problems. Hell if he makes friends they can ask there parents to babysit when they go off to save the world.

Its not really that the story is bad it's actually a interesting topic. I'm guessing alot of people dislike it because .... I'm guessing this..... they feel that the attitudes of everyone ganging up on the main six is unjustified especially in twilights case. Yah there's a problem with how spike was being raised but the issue could have been addressed by talking to twilight and explaining to her what was in spikes best interest and she could have fixed it. But this would defeat the fact that the authors trying to write a story. If he did the above suggestion the story would be over in 3 chapters. That's probably not fair to him when he just wants to share a story. The comments section is really for people to help point out corrections and for people to voice likes and dislikes about content. I think the like and dislike button should be removed because everyones taste are different. Example vore fimfictions I hate them but other people eat that s**t up. Wah wah Wabash. Lol.
