Spike's Other Pen Pals

The next day, Spike stopped what he was doing when he heard knocking from the castle's doors. He flew over to open the door and find Derpy standing at the front while wearing her mailing uniform. She pulled out some letters from her saddle bag and gave them to Spike.

"Mail delivery for Spike the Dragon!" Derpy said before she flew away to deliver more mail. Spike closed the door and looked at the letters. He smiled as the letters were from Ember, Moon Dancer, Quibble Pants, and Stygian. Spike flew to his room to open the letters to see what they say. The first letter Spike read was from Ember.

Hey Spike,

Everything is getting better in the Dragon Lands, especially with some of the teenage dragons taking up poetry thanks to Garble. There are still some dragons who are not comfortable with the idea of friendship, but I have hopes that they will get there. I'm surprised to hear that your princess friend will rule all of Equestria. I'm glad to hear that she was able to make some progress. I wasn't so scared of ruling as the Dragon Lord as I wanted the job in contrast to what Twilight is dealing with. The best advice I could give to Twilight is that if some of her subjects try to undermine her, she has to remind these subjects that they probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Twilight saving everypony multiple times. That is how I was able to get the other dragons to listen to me, I had to remind them that I was able to maintain peace in the Dragon Lands and with other nations because I was right for the job. Smolder has been sending me a few letters about her time at the School of Friendship. I believe she mentioned that there will be a teacher and guardian conference coming up. I'm not sure how those things works so maybe you can tell me through your next reply. When Smolder came back from leaving to without permission, I gave her a talking of a lifetime. After reading your letter, a part of me thought that it was good that Smolder was caring about her friends that she left the Dragon Lands immediately. I had her take part in an intense arm wrestle to get my permission to return to Equestria. It was a way to prove to herself that she won't cause any trouble or disobey me again. Thorax and I have been on pretty good terms. He often sends me fruit baskets or things he made from arts and crafts to show how much he appreciates our friendship. Some dragons who saw these would laugh and make fun of Thorax for being girly. I told those dragons that if I lost that friendship with Thorax, there may be a possible war between dragons and changelings. I also told those dragons that I wasn't afraid of putting them on the front lines if that were to happen. Since then, all of the dragons stopped with the teasing. Yep, it's great to be the Dragon Lord! That is all I have to say, tell Twilight I said hi and I have no doubt in my mind that she will be a great ruler like me!

Sincerely,
Dragon Lord Ember

P.S. Is Twilight the purple pony with the wings or the purple one who keeps saying that her cutie mark is more of a 'glimmer'?

Spike chuckled after reading the last sentence of the letter. He picked up Moon Dancer's letter to read to see how she has been doing.

Dear Spike,

I'm glad to be hearing from you and Twilight! It's alright if you and her weren't able to catch up with me as it looked like you two had to do something urgent. I had a feeling Twilight didn't return a library book as her photo in the Canterlot Library was replaced with mine. I guess I'm now the Best Book Borrower there. I've been sending Twilight letters on updates with myself and our other friends. Me and our other friends were able to try a new sport called Rollball. Although I wasn't good at it, I was glad to do something with my friends. There was this other time when our friends and I had a sleepover. It was fun except for when we did Truth or Dare. Let's just say that what happened at that sleepover stays at that sleepover. I'm doing as good as you expect. I hope you reply to me again!

Sincerely,
Moon Dancer

Spike thought it was nice to hear many good things from Moon Dancer. He placed the letter down and read the next one that was from Quibble Pants.

Dear Spike,

It's great hearing from you again! I was lucky enough to have some time to write this letter with all of the things I got to do with Wind Sprint. There was this one time she and I went to see the new Power Ponies movie and she started to like Zap since she is also a pegasus. I'm glad that she is starting to take interest to what I like. Clear Skies and I have been doing great as we have been going on multiple dates now. Clear even considered to have her parents meet me, can you believe that?! I'm so grateful that I have got to meet Clear and Wind. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who has problems when becoming a new member of a family. When I read that you were already making a dungeon for me, I couldn't help but look in my schedule to see if I'm able to go to Ponyville and join you in your O&O guys' night! I'll let you know through the letters if I find a good time.

Sincerely,
Quibble Pants

Spike felt glad to read that Quibble was doing great with his new family. He picked up the last letter which was from Stygian. The young dragon began reading the letter.

Dear Spike the Dragon,

I have been doing well recently. I have been exploring all around Equestria to see how things have changed since I was in Limbo. I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who had felt like an outcast when it comes to being part of something important. There were a few occasions where I had to take part in lots of book signings and Q&A sessions. It feels nice that a non-pony creature likes my book. In the past, I don't often see dragons around ponies as dragons back then tend to act violent. Now to my surprise, a dragon such as yourself lives among pony kind. This era is just full of surprises! I wrote Me and My Shadow to show everyone that being in darkness was not the answer as it led to loneliness. It was a good thing that you didn't follow my hoof-steps and turned your back on your friends. I'm grateful to you and your friends for showing me that there was something better than darkness. I should also thank you and your friends for showing the Pillars the errors of their ways. They even allowed me to be a Pillar of Equestria! Now I finally get the chance to fight along side with my friends if such an occasion occurs. If you want to go on an adventure, let me know so I can let you tag along with me. Star Swirl and I have found some great places that could make some excitements.

Sincerely,
Stygian

Some knocks came from the door and Spike went to open it to reveal Twilight standing in front of him.

"Hey Spike, I just wanted to check up on you." Twilight said.

"I'm good," Spike replied. "I'm just reading some letters from my friends."

"Well, it's good to know that you're catching up with them!" Twilight smiled as she trotted to the hallways. Spike went to his desk to write some responses to his other, new pen pals.

Spike knows plenty of good guys, and they all seem to like him.

[MLPFollower]

I wonder if the other supporting characters of MLP are pen-pals with Spike as well?

[BlueStarred Spike]

They even allowed me to be a Pillar of Equestria! Now I finally get the chance to fight along side with my friends if such an occasion occurs.

You being a Pillar is the equivalent of Spike being an Element.
