Celestia had always assumed that the relationship between Ponies, Dragons, and Changelings would be fraught with conflicts, no matter how much crystal peace there was. However, everything would change in a meeting where she would discover something very relevant, something they all have in common that would unite them in a single mission together...
"Now... How is it that you two know Spike?"
(Nope, Triple Threat is not canon here...god i hate that episode)
Hehe... somedragon is gonna get ATTACKED
Sludge is gonna die.
And gonna die HARD
Triple Threat. Not Triple Treath.

Thanks
Okay, before I start reading this, I saw your synopsis for this story and I respect you for hating that Triple Threat episode because WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MAKE SPIKE SO STUPID?!
May I remind you that his bravery is the reason that he’s friends with Ember and Thorax. With Ember, he sacrificed himself to compete in the Gauntlet of Fire and he gave her the title of Dragon Lord Ember. With Thorax, he sacrificed his reputation in the Crystal Empire for his changeling friend and was the first sign of peace between changelings and ponies. So, WHAT ARE TALKING ABOUT when you say that he’s afraid that they won’t get along and massive war will commence.
Don’t even get me started on the map “summoning” him to solve a friendship problem only for him to get screwed over and do nothing to solve it. Great job, amazing, brilliant work. They ruined his character again.

Finally somebody who agree with me

And whats worse is its the only time the map ever called on him.
Its like the tree of Harmony is mocking him.

THE MAP CALLED STARLIGHT TWICE!!! IT CALLED APPLEJACK AND FLUTTERSHY TOGETHER TWICE!!! IT EVEN CALLED SUNBURST!!! SUNBURST!!!
The map basically said, “Hey Spike, we got a problem. Go solve it! Oh, you figured it out and all you had to do was NOTHING AND LEAVE IT TO YOUR FRIENDS TO WORK IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES EVEN THOUGH I’M THE ONE WHO WANTED YOU TO GET INVOLVED IN IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! I AM AN AMAZING PLOT DEVICE!!!”
He could’ve been spawned for a different episode but no, they had to do it here to remind us that he’s still a character on the show.

And the fact its not a valid excuse on the Mane 6 leaving him out too.
Since in Shadow Play the map called ONLY the Mane 6 I think but the Pillars and Sunburst and Starlight came and turns out its Starlight(one who the map never called for this) was the one who solved it.
So the fact that someone the map didn't call got to go and solve it and no retaliation from the tree showed Spike could have gone on those adventures or at least with the Mane 6 in season 5 premire.

I agreed with you too.
Whats worse is how Triple Threat is Spike's last proper interaction with Thorax and kind of with Ember.
