This was a fun start.
I'll be interested to see what you have for the others in this little case of what-could-have-been.
Hehe, I should have figured that Spike would fall in love with Applejack because of her cooking.
Hehe, oh Rainbow, she just got herself a new cheerleader didn't she?
Now that you mention it, it is a bit surprising that Spike never seemed to have a crush on Fluttershy given how starstruck she was on first meeting him.
Though I suppose that there it was more her being struck that he was a dragon rather than anything more specific. *shrugs* Who knows how the heart works?
Thank you for the story. It was a fun and cute exercise to see these four alternate possibilities.
Not to mention a dragons ability to also be taken in by cuteness.
And now that you mention it, Spikes obsession with Rarity probably was somewhat a hindrance to the show. Fluttershy was arguably a better fit, but it could go further. He could have had multiple crushes throughout the show. I wonder if there's a fic retelling of there whole series like that. I'm definitely not ambitious enough to write it.
Spike gets all the ladies
I foresee a rivalry with the local chicken or possible Tsundere relationship
I have to say, this bit of "What could have been" WAS pretty entertaining (and actually in-character for all involved at the time).
One down, three to go.
Got to say, I LOVED this little spin. Though, Spike, I think you would probably have better luck with Apple BLOOM than AppleJACK (much closer to your age than to your big sister's age and all that).
9953012
Yeah. Yeah, she did.
9953254
Yeah. I could DEFINITELY see Spike developing an initial rivalry with Scootaloo in this scenario that gradually develops into something more.
REALLY good job on this short series of "What Ifs". I am most impressed by how ALL of them kept the characters IN-character.
Though, of course, Spike will probably have a great deal of competition from Discord a couple years down the road in this scenario (and, considering the power advantage Discord has over Spike, it would probably be a Comically Lopsided Rivalry because there wouldn't be ONE thing Spike could do for Fluttershy that Discord couldn't do literally a thousand times better).
Wait?
Crushes...
Pinkie Pie.
Applejack.
Rainbow Dash.
Fliuttershy.
... SPIKE HAS A BETTER LOVE LIFE THAN I HAVE!
This was adorable!
What if Spike had a crush on somepony else... hmmm...
"Oh Granny Smith!!"
(collective projectile vomiting)
Well, the way to ANY dragon's heart is through its stomach... just... it usually means they ate you.
I suppose it fits that he confesses right away here - honesty and all.
Delightful little what-if scenarios. I almost wish you'd done one for Rarity where Spike wasn't head over heels for her, just for the sense of completion. Still, thank you for some wonderful bits of surreal nostalgia. The Season 1 vibes are strong with this fic.
...Y’know, with this in mind, "Spike At Your Service" starts to make a bit more sense.
:)
If I recall correctly, Fluttershy was actually meant to be Spike's crush at some point, but they quickly dropped that idea. Later on, they needed a way to point out that Rarity was distinctly attractive (seeing as the Mane Six's vector models were and still are all the same), so they had Spike make a few remarks about how beautiful she was. Having that scene in mind, they ended up revisiting the old idea of giving Spike a crush, and we wound up with eight-and-a-half seasons of a certain little dragon fawning over a certain unicorn seamstress.
...This is all just a really long-winded way of saying I like all these vignettes you've made. Good job!
:)
Kind of comes off as the precursor to any given Spike harem story.
Daww what a cute little collection of "what-if's"/stories exploring just a little bit of what if Spike fell for somepony else that wasn't Rarity^^ <3 All in character, pretty well written:) My only complaint is that it was too shortXD I want more, lolXD I hope we get some form of a sequel to this:) While I would love full separate stories for each concept introduced in this collection, I have a feeling that the more realistic plan, I can imagine for you, is to tackle one of these ideas. AKA just explore one what if with one more. While I love all these ideas and all are interesting in their own right, I would love it if you explored the What if with Fluttershy. It would make sense for the story of FIM for Spike's crush to go on too long as it did because Fluttershy is too shy and too kind to hurt Spike's feelings. Plus, she would see no harm in this little crush until she sees clearly that Spike actually sees potential in their relationship. It would make sense for Spike in this scenario to see potential in their relationship from his perspective because Fluttershy is so kind and sweet to him all the time, spoiling him with love and just keeps calling him cute. With the help of her friends, animals, and Discord (another reason why I would love to explore this story idea is because the fun rivalry and conflict that would arise between Spike and Discord. Plus, you can slowly develop their friendship from this rivalry. And perhaps explore the slow progression of Discord having feelings for Flutters if you ship Fluttercord too:3 But you don't have to explore that aspect if you don't want toXD Lol! Sorry, I ship FluttercordXD) Fluttershy can reasonably break the news to the little guy without being too shy about it and do it in a clear way. Then, we can finally have a story about Spike learning how to move on from a childhood crush:)
I'm just loving this spin! Great job!
Yup! Still loving this!
Damn cute!

Sounds like a mare worth fighting for.
So is each chapter a separate AU respectively or is all of this with Spike crushing on somepony happening on the same day?
9976256 The former
Hurgh!
I just felt my heart give out from the wholesomeness of this.
It's been running on cynicism for years and now I found something cute to give my heart.
Cute.
Interesting way for Spike and Pinkie to be shipped.
I think this is the best one out of the four.
Wish that there was more than just 4 chapters
One dragon is tamed by his stomach.
