BONUS: Spike The Dragon
“Hold on, hold on,” you interrupt. Craning your neck, you scan the room. “Where is Spike, Twilight?”
“Spike’s in his room, I think,” Twilight responds, placing a hoof to her muzzle. “Why do you ask?”
“Did you invite him down here to spend time with everypony?”
“Well…No, I didn’t.” Twilight scrunches up her muzzle. “But Spike never spends time with us during our sleepovers.”
“Is that because he doesn’t want to or because you never invite him?”
Twilight’s muzzle scrunches up even deeper. “Well, I…That’s a good question, although probably an unfair categorization.”
“Because?”
Twilight’s scrunch becomes a grimace. “Because…Look, Spike knows he’s our friend and that we care about him! I promise!”
You cross your arms. “Mmmmhmm. Okay. Well, tell you what, I’m going to go and say hello to him before we finish this conversation.”
Twilights ears perk up. “I…okay,” she relents.
You open the door on your way out.
“Let him know that he’s invited next time!” she calls after you, a hint of desperation tinging her voice.
A few minutes later, you knock on the door to Spike’s bedroom.
“Coming!” an excited voice calls. Not a moment later, the door flings open to reveal an extremely eager-looking little dragon. His expression melts when he sees you. “Oh, uh, hey.”
“What’s the deal, Spike?” you ask, leaning casually against his door frame. “Were you expecting Rarity?”
He shrugs. “That would have been awesome, but, uh, no. Just expecting…Anypony else. It’s not important, though, come on in.”
“Thanks, my dude.” You step through the room’s threshold and close the door behind you.
“What’d you do tonight?” he asks.
“Oh, I was out for a while, then I came back and stumbled on the girls having a little slumber party.”
Spike’s ear frills flatten against his head, but he keeps a cool expression. “Oh, uh, are they here? Really? I hadn’t noticed. I’ve just been so engrossed in my evening.”
“I’m glad you’re keeping busy,” you tell him as he waddles back over to his bed. “What have you been up to?”
“I’ve been reading some Power Ponies comics,” he comments as he flops back on his mattress.
“Very neat. I didn’t know that new issues had come out recently.”
Spike sits up and scratches the back of his neck. “Well, uh, they haven’t. I’m rereading a few of the old arcs. But, I’ve been meaning to get around to them again! So, it’s, y’know, nice to have the opportunity to catch up.”
You stand silently for a few moments as you look forlornly at Spike, your lips pursed in concern.
“So, you were down there with the girls for a while, right? N-not that I know! I’m just, uh, guessing.”
You nod slowly.
Spike clears his throat. “…Did, uh...They happen to mention me at all?”
You take a deep breath in before exhaling. “Spike…It’s not your fault.”
“Huh?”
“It’s not your fault.”
Spike crosses his arms across his scaly chest. “What are you on about? Did somepony break something down there?”
You take a step forward. “…It’s not your fault.”
Spike grimaces and falls flat on his back again. He speaks to the ceiling. “Okay, okay, I get it! I can get a little jealous sometimes that I don’t get invited to things, but it’s no big deal! I mean, it’s a mares’ only sleepover anyway…Er, mares and humans…I guess…”
You step to the edge of the bed. “It’s not your fault.”
He sits up again, glaring at you. “What’s your deal, coming in here and just repeating that? Why don’t you go back down there and hang out with them? That’s what friends do, isn’t it!?”
You sit on the bed next to him. “It’s not your fault.”
Spike points a little purple claw at you. “You shut your flat little human mouth,” he sputters, tears beginning to well up around the edges of his eyes.
“It’s not your fault.”
Spike gradually slips into a fit of sobs. He covers his eyes with his claws as he lets out a quiet salvo of choking cries.
Gently, you place a hand on his head spines. “It’s not your fault,” you whisper to him.
Spike collapses against you, crying into your shoulder. You wrap your arms around him in a tight hug as he lets his emotions flow out. “That’s it bro…Hug it out,” you encourage him, beginning to gently rock side to side.
A minute or so later, Spike’s crying has stopped and his head lays softly against your upper chest. You give him a few firm pats on the back. “O-okay. I’m good. I’m good,” he tells you, his voice gravelly.
“You sure?”
“Yeah, yeah…” he pulls away from you and scoots back on the bed, looking down in shame.
“Y’know, for all the fuss you Equestrians make about the magic of friendship, you guys have the same sorts of friendship problems that we have on earth,” you tell him gently.
“Really?” he asks, daring to meet your gaze again.
You nod. “You bet.” You hop off of the bed. “Come on downstairs with me, I have an idea.”
Spike seems to shrink back at your suggestion. “I don’t know if-“
You hold up a hand to stop him. “Believe me, buddy, I guilt tripped them hard. If we hurry down, I bet we can get you some apology cuddles from Rarity.”
Spike leaps off of his bed and skids as he hits the ground. “Really!?”
“I think so. Worst case you’ll have to settle for Twilight.”
Spike grimaces. “Yuck!”
“Alright, alright,” you tell him as you open his door. “But pick another backup just in case.”
Spike thinks for a moment as he exits his room and sets off down the hallway. You follow. “Okay, you’re going to call me crazy…” he begins.
“No such thing as a crazy dragon when it comes to cuddling.”
“…Do you think we can make Rainbow Dash happen?”
You purse your lips as you evaluate the situation in your head. “Actually, I think so. If there’s not a good enough opportunity to snuggle up with Rarity, just give Dash the puppy eyes and spin something about how she’s never bothered to give you flying lessons since you got your wings. Even she has to fold under that.”
“Nice!” Spike launches into the air and gives you a quick bro-hug. “Thanks so much, man.”
You pat him on the back. When he lands on the ground again, you offer him a fist bump, which he immediately returns. “You bet. I got your back, little dragon.”

Short, but cute~ I love these "Choose Your Own Adventure" type stories. You've got a lot of potential~
There's too much adorable here! Help!
In all seriousness, great writing for each of them. Spot on.
Great premise and structure. But there are so many other ponies who deserve to be included. Let me be the first to request further chapters with the Princesses and Crusaders and anthrophile-Lyra and Moondancer and Fizzlepop and Zecora and Cheerilee and Big Mac (no homo) and Discord and a batpony OC and the Dazzlings and the other Pie sisters.
Delightfully silly.
THIS IS YOUR BEST STORY EVER!!!! *SQUEES*
x infinity
THANK YOU FOR WRITING IT!!!!*Bearhugs CGrant*

Make way, everyone! I'm here for a dose of fluff!
Once I get the time, sadly.
FEATURED!!!!!!
x infinifity
So nice and cute! Reminds me of that Pony Cafe Story
I desperately needed this after reading a horribly depressing fic.
Much cuteness. Very floof. So cuddles.

Oh wait...
It is..
Very interesting. I snuggled everypo—everycreature in the end.
I’ll might do a fanfic reading of this entire fanfic.

There's a choose-your-own-adventure brony cafe story? ><
That's what I'm in the middle of writing at the moment...
Also I've only read Twilight's bit so far, but this was delightful. Your writing's really good!
Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm getting the feeling that it's not Spike's fault.
Anybody else?
9568209
OwO u just did by leaving a nice comment!

*КАТЮША begins loudly playing in distance*

Wait, wait, wait! We are talking about billions upon billions of horsewords here! You can’t make a descision like that; you’re just a grunt! ... No offense.
(If you take a look back through all my MLP 40K fics, you’ll probably notice the liberal smattering of aliens references)

*sighs* ... *Starts up the T-34*

I could Search it for you if you want
Good Will Hunting is an amazing movie.
I think one of the greatest things about these stories is that you always find a meaningful way to incorporate Spike.
9568904
Spike is a goodboi, he needs love. I never had a younger brother so I write him and any main characters like I would me and a little bro :3
9568768
If it's easy to find, I'd appreciate it! I tried doing a search for stories with "cafe" and the tag "Second Person" but I don't think it came up.
9570020
There you go, had it in my faves, isn't exactly second person but very familiar
The Platonic Pony Petting Café
9570031
Thank you so much! I'm going to go check it out now~
9570055
You're welcome!
Need far more anon-spike bromanship.
Most excellent.
This is the first choice I pick. I wonder why...But now I understand...It's sad to be left out by your friends in your own home...
9568935
spoken as a true only child; take it from someone who actually does have a little brother, your idea of how having a younger sibling is overly idealistic at best, and laughable at worst. don't get the wrong idea though, i wouldn't trade my brother for all the money in the world, but like any other relationship (as in family, friends or a lover) it has its ups and downs
9572360
I do have a little sister... the relationship dynamic for siblings of the opposite sex is just different from what I’d imagine if I had a little brother
9572370
sorry, sorry, you just gave off that impression, but as far can till, be it a little sister or little brother your going to fight with them, and have each others backs when it counts excetera excetera, its just how that happens that changes
Finished my fanfic reading with all choices and bonuses read. This story is great. My favorite out of the bunch was Pinkie Pie.
9572598
That was quick! Thanks for doing it! :D
9572905
Your welcome.
Adorable. My only real complaint is: The description implied that it would be "pick your own adventure" . But there's only one point where the reader actuality makes a choice. Otherwise, it's just a normal second person story.
Also: I'd suggest a placeholder chapter at the end. So that comments for the story as a whole don't get dumped onto the Spike chapter.
the Pony I will snuggle with his Twilight and a kiss on the cheek

Indeed
I feel so sorry for Spike
Twilight so cruel not to get invited 
Is that a reference my eyes see?
Uh, what's happened?? I thought, cuddles were ahoy! Is this called "cuddling"?
Maybe, I should have chosen somepony else...
NO SPIKE CUDDLES?

PRICELESS

Agreed! Followed by Luna
The Spike part was both unexpected and crazy wholesome
