Celly’s smart and Twilight even smarter. Here’s hoping Spike can hold on as long as he can.

I think this is my fear too. I have an r-rated book on hold and I wish to publish. Tricky part is, my family dont know that side of me so this reflects so much on my life.

Now that Emerald Flare is out in the open, mares be knocking on his door.

"Mark Twain" had the same problem
In his youth, Clemens was a steamboat pilot. He was always in debt, always looking for ways to get more money. He wrote a humorous story for a professional journal, poking fun at several people that he knew. But, when the time came to publish "A difficulty arose -I discovered a hitherto unsuspected streak of modesty in my character. I wasn't modest everywhere, but I was modest in places, and one of those places was in claiming credit for this article" So, he took the pen name "Mark Twain" (A steamboating term for 2 fathoms (12 feet) of water, the depth that most riverboats needed for safe travel)

Don't forget Starlight and the other girls, Spike surrounds himself with loads of smart cookies.

If they can find him haha.

10158127 Not sure why, but this fic just turned into an intense session of Prop Hunt.

Knowing his pen pal, occasional write backs means no secrets between them.

well i am excited for the next chapter.

You got an interesting premise going for yourself here. I think this can make for a really great story. Knowing how resourceful Celestia can be, I think she'll be able to put it all together quickly. Twilight, not so much, since while shes smart she lacks in the common sense department. I do wonder if Spike unintentionally hooks up with all his friends and they become his drakefriend to them all.

Thanks! Celestia is quite the obstacle to try and beat, she knows Spike as well as Twilight and has been dealing with ponies who try to hide their real selves for hundreds of years. Spike knows he can't outsmart Celestia so he'll have to just try to convince her that he isn't Spike, luckily he has a princess for a partner. Yeah Twi will be a thorn later but not until Spike messes up somewhere. Celestia's invite won't be next chapter though as I want a chapter focusing on Spike then on Emerald and then on Spike again so on and so forth. Well that last question is the big one right heh. I do know that Some of his friends will fall for him and some will for Emerald, a problem though is trying to be both at the same time

My guess is at the end, Spike will reveal himself, possibly retire, and be with the mares he likes. I'm going to guess the following mara fall for the "author"

Twilight
Rarity
Starlight

Maybe a few more too.

oohh boy *jumps into a trench poke his head out while wearing a world war 2 helmet* best take cover for a angery celestia is what i sense and that type of celestia is defcon 3

10159641
Hmm guess we'll see but I will say you have good guesses.

10159931
You don't piss off the sunny princess and live!

I’m just wondering how Celestial is able to memorize all of her ponies, like thousands to millions and she knows them all. How?

10160280
Yeah i always have a standard protocol if someone made celestia mad i take cover and avoid getting in middle of the cross fire

10160563
to me? She studies them but ones with potential are kept an eye on with secret agents like S.M.I.L.E and magic maybe.

This was a cute and funny chapter purr SA he has is ruff for someone who" won at life". I can tall this is going to be a wild ride.

“Well, turns out there are different kinds of love. Cadence told me that love split into many forms with three main kinds. True Love, Familial Love, and… Passionate Love.”
What about the 4th love, ''Agape'' Unconditional love?
This would be the love Fluttershy exudes...

That's not wrong though if anything that would be a rarer type. SA was talking about the three main types the heart will pick up from the ponies.

The story Spike wrote seems more run of the mill then anything. Odd that I'm disappointed in a fake story in a story. I would not be surprised if Celestia learns who Spike is. Moms know who their kids are after all. Very detailed and in character chapter.

Yeah his story was actually a fusion of FF7 and another book I've read
