There are things in life we wish we'd never have to see or hear, and for Spike, one of those things is having his friends angry at one another. Years and years of pent up anger from every grievance they've ever felt, all bursting out in one terrible display. And amidst it all is the young dragon, who only wants them to just stop.

Hello! How are you?
I will admit, this kind of story actually hits pretty close to home for guys like me, their are some things I want to say and get off my chest, but I don’t want to because it might hurt other feelings. So often I fantasize about it in the back of my mind. I may never dream about it, but it’s still their in my imagination. You get what I mean?
9853466 I am very well, thank you

Good! I am new here and want to start writing stories. I started by creating a story that centers around other characters in the same universe as Apple Sleep Experiment.
9853482
I am still waiting it to approved.
9853489 Well, I hope people enjoy it
I'll be honest this whole thing seemed off for me too. But... if the moral of the story is that it bugs you how people have such headcanons... you're going to have a bad time. Honestly I was there... but with much less important ideas(hiveminds are stupid for the changelings and changelings aren't bees or matriarchal societies). In the end I learned to accept new ideas so long as they were presented well. But still this fic tugged my heartstrings well. Gj. I'll give it a like but not a fav.
Pinkie Pie's biggest flaw comes from her trouble reading other ponies. Presumably because she learned how to read her family as a child, and they aren't good examples of how to learn to read other's feelings. If that makes sense.
What you show in this fic only happened once and Pinkie was out of character in it.
I gave it a like but not a favorite because I felt the story has already been done before, though I like you gave effort.

You're forgetting about Party Of One where she does something similar. Although there were a lot of off character moments for her in season 8.
Pretty emotional.
Kind of wished Luna found out about Spike's nightmare and help him out too.
Pretty interested in seeing how she would help Spike out with this nightmare due to its her specialty in helping others with that stuff.
Poor Spike. And while the ending was something I saw coming, I definitely get the feeling that prompted this story. What IS it with some stories that make the characters harbor such twisted feelings? Do they really think that it's "realistic" to the characters? Sheesh!
I love, how without any words you showed how much Starlight appreciates Spike as if he is like a little brother to her

"Sorry! Sorry!" Discord barged into the room, got off the barge, and drew a glowing thread out of Spike's forehead. He slurped it up like a length of spaghetti, patted his stomach, and then remembered he was supposed to look contrite. After clearing his throat, he said, "That was one of mine."
Going by how Twilight's eye was twitching, it was way to early for her to deal with this "... What?"
"One of my better dreams got away from me and ended up nesting in little Spoke's—"
"Spike."
"Leonard's psyche when it got tired." Discord wiped the sweat off his brow and shook off the squeegee. "I've been tracking it down all night, which is not easy when Luna spots you in the dreamscape and has convinced herself you're up to something, let me tell you."
"Try to keep your thoughts to yourself in the future, Discord."
"I seem to recall you saying something very different after the plundervines."
Twilight gritted her teeth and walked out of the room. Her twitching wings were either a sign of agitation or restraining a rude gestire that Spike officially didn't know about. "I'm going to bed. Spike, the door's open if you'd be more comfortable with me."
Spike smiled. "Thanks, Twilight." He turned his attention to Discord.
The draconequus was looking in every direction but back at him, idly swinging a dice bag in his talons. "I, uh, do hope this won't impact Guys' Night."
"You know that +4 cephalopod bane compound bow Captain Wuzz has been using?"
Discord gasped. "Not the Wuzzinator!"
"It's fine. For now." Spike nestled back under the covers. "Because friends forgive each other."
"Yes, yes, of course. Sleep well, Spike." It was perhaps the kindest Spike had ever heard Discord. Certainly the kindest tone he'd ever used when not talking about Fluttershy.
The ear-piercing, high-pitched beeping the barge made as it backed out of the castle rather undermined that, though.
(Nice bit of commentary, if a touch unsubtle. Still, thank you for it.)

... Oh. Right. For what it's worth, I meant in the "and span" sense. Still, good call.
Because you can only write so many stories before "everyone is nice to each other" has to have a "but" come after it. And it allows for a deeper analysis of who these characters could be, and what it means to be who they are.
I mean, I'll be honest. A lot of these were just common fandom complaints about certain things in the show given form. Lessons being relearned and characters being one note and doing fucked up shit to each other while not having it properly addressed is just something every fandom has to go through at some point. Clearly, fanfiction writers would explore on those flaws and shortcomings in a way that gives those things some substance where they wouldn't fine any in the canon. That's why there are stories about Mare Do Well being a fucked up idea, and stories about Rainbow being selfish, etc. The bad parts of a show yield as much content as the good.
Huh. If not for the ending, I would have been rather mad.
Fair enough.
This is a really interesting idea, watching a group of close friends have a catastrophic blowout could make a powerful and brutal story, and I like the idea that seemingly perfect friendship of the mane six hides a bunch of issues and ill feelings that no one wanted to confront because it was easier to forget and just get along, leaving said troubles simmering beneath the surface until they suddenly boil over. But the execution just doesn't have much punch. I think what hurts it are that allot of these are just common complaints the fans have about the show, most of them don't really feel like the sort of issues the characters might have with each other. For example dream Twilight's rant about Celestia manipulating and using her student while being useless as a ruler or protector sounds similar to comments made in countless blog posts and episode reviews and even some fanfics, but it rings false coming from Twilight's mouth because, as Twilight said herself, she would never hate Celestia. (In fact I've heard it argued that one of Twilight's big flaws is that she's too willing to exalt Celestia and overlook her mentors shortcomings, which is an interesting idea although I guess it's neither here nor there) And because of issues like that the fight doesn't have the impact its supposed to. I did kinda like the ending though, normally I dislike it was all a dream reveals but having Twilight say tell Spike they sincerely are as good of friends deep down as they appear on the surface felt like a fitting FIM moment.
Very few people don't have at least the potential for that kind of bitterness in them. Thankfully, most people rarely actually manifest it though. I suspect ponies are little different.
Oh, and saying terrible things to someone in a heated moment doesn't mean you don't love them - just that you hate them right then. The two are closer than they may seem.
Bringing up dead relatives and besmirching their names? Dick move, even for Fluttershy.
Oh. It's just a dream. A horrible bad dream.

Came here from Never The Final Word.
Wow! Cool story! And the non-sensicalness of the main story itself is noted, which is cool!
Makes me think of some supernatural cause, and a bit too much emotion to not jolt him awake, but cool, cool!

Typo. Need to remove the quotation mark here:
9869586 Thanks for pointing it out to me
It's silly, but hey, you all feel it too! It feels nice when your prediction or suspicion is confirmed... I started thinking Spike was in a nightmare about halfway through it. The Mane Six just couldn't say a few of those things, but that doesn't remove any fun from little experimental (and improbable?) stories like this one.
I think Disharmony is fun.
