Introduction:Why The Hay Am I Writing This?
Dear Diary:

First of all, although I know it says "Spike's Journal" on the cover, I'm positively sure that Twilight Sparkle got into the wrong section of the bookstore, and realized her mistake on they way home. Well, to be honest, she is not the most creative mare in the world. When she gave me this, it had blue paint dripping from the cover. Also, I could see a few remains of feathers and glitter. A slight dent obviously told me that she removed a ribbon.

And only one other notification: I am not in love with you, despite the fact that I called you "dear". Clear?

So, anyway, I don't feel like I have to remind myself who I am, but I bet Twilight will read some of this at night, while I'm sleeping. She, she's a pretty good writer and reader, which means if I just right a simple, short sentence or two, I'm bound to get some sort of lecture in the morning.

I'm Spike, a dragon. I live with Twilight Sparkle, a unicorn. Why? Well, for starters, it all began when she kidnapped me from my parents on a secret mission.

...Okay, I was just kidding. Really, they say that they found some dragon eggs near a mountain. So, they give the eggs to Princess Celestia, the head of Equestria. I don't know where they eventually ended up in, but I somehow landed up in a testing room in Princess Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns. (Gee, that name's kind of boring, isn't it? Why not make a name like The Institute of Epic And Awesome Spells of Havoc For The Whole Nation? Well, I guess that would be too long.)

So, I had to undergo the unfortunate way to hatch: cracked open by a magical explosion of purple aura. Also, as an addition, I grew bigger. Like...twenty percent bigger? Nah, that's too small. About two hundred percent bigger, something like that. Princess Celestia arrived about five seconds later, ending the spell. Somehow, the filly who had caused me to hatch ended up having two new privileges;1.Being Celestia's private student, and 2.the responsibility of taking care for me.

All this while, I was sucking my tail, probably because my thumb was so small.

Actually, Twilight Sparkle's a pretty good caretaker. One, she's smart, and I appreciate somepony smart. Two, I'm convinced that she can kick flank with her extraordinary magic abilities. Three, she's purple. (Hey, you feel better when there's someone your color, right? Especially when it's uncommon.)

Do I have problems with her? Well, she's way too bookish, she seems to have a case of minor Asperger's, she's can be an egghead sometimes, and she's incredibly asocial. (I heard that word when Twilight was reading a book to herself. That's another habit of hers, and, no, I don't know why they don't just call it antisocial. It's a mysterious world.)

I'm especially concerned on the last one. I mean, she always finds some excuse to avoid hanging out with ponies other than Celestia, family, her foalsitter and me. She almost never leaves our dorm in this ivory tower, and she has never talked to anypony else unless it's about studies. I hope it's resolved soon. I mean, she's been throwing birthday invitations away lately. What is she going to do next, hang a sign around her neck that says "Go Away"?

Did I mention about her being bookish? She's transformed this dorm into a library. Except that the books are for her only, and I'm certain that almost nopony reads these things anymore unless they're old-school principals, royalty, or they somehow transported from five centuries ago to this time.

It seems like she noticed her love of reading wasn't rubbing off on me. (Well, at least for those kinds of books, anyway. Give me a simple chapter, adventure, or picture book and I'll be happy.) So, she gave me this uncreative "journal" and said something along the lines of this: "Spike, my No.1 assistant who delivers tons of letters to my mentor, everyday? If you don't mind, I'm giving you this journal, so that you can write in it every single time something interesting happens."

So, I'm forced to write down every single time something interesting happens, and they have to make sense, which means I have to be honest, like I can't write that Twilight got wings and went trough a portal and became one of those rumored human creatures ,but kept her new wings, and that I went to the moon straight after that. I also have to write a complete summary of what happened. so I can't just say "Today was an interesting day because we picked strawberries". I'll have to described what time we picked them, how we cooked them(if we did), and describe it's taste. Actually. that isn't so bad with strawberries.But still, nothing interesting ever happens around here that much.

Which means that this book will eventually end up in a place I like to call "the basement". Or, it could end up in "the closet."

Really, I wish we could move. I don't enjoy this "fancy life" so much, and from the looks of it, neither does Twilight or her family. But hey, what do we do, give up Twilight's privilege as Celestia's protege and move to Mustangia and become cowstallions? I don't think so.

Still, I live a pretty decent life, so I'm not complaining. I'll just wait for an interesting moment to come, wait for Twilight to get friends, and wait for jelly to fall from the sky. My only other worry with Twilight is that she's looking at filly storybooks now. I mean, she's nineteen. Why the hay does she read those?

And why the hay am I writing in this?

Author's Note:

Ah. My first fanfiction. It's not that great IMO, but I am satisfied with the way it turned out. Do comment if you're able!

Comments

[karl]

Well, we've definitely had these kinds of things before, but I don't know of any from Spike's perspective. Let's take a look!

[starryrocker]

Moar now pwean

[APoeticHeart]

Going to get a look inside the show from the pov of Spike. Can't wait to read upcoming chapters from writing about his time in Ponyville. So far, very good.

[NejinOniwa]

Could use some editing on this one, but overall it's fairly good. Let's see if you can get this any further!

[WorkingClassWriter]

@karl-Really? Well, I'm happy to be introduce something new. Also, you're lucky: I was originally going to make the episodes humanized until I saw EG's true designs! *Shudders*
@123daleful-Don't worry, Holy Week is coming up, and I'm religious and so is my school. Whole week of vacation, moar entries!
@APoeticHeart-Thanks!
@NejinOwina:E heh heh...I'm ten, so I'm not the best writer in the universe. I'll fix it when I can, and thanks for the positive comment!

[Cerulean Swirl]

Hello!
Though I enjoyed this story very much, I must say that your age of Twilight is off.
You must remember that ponies are not like humans, and age differently than we do.
Therefore, Twilight cannot be nineteen.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Otherwise a very enjoyable story. It is going on my favourite list!!

[Neutrinos are Magic]

Excellent premise.
If Twilight is indeed 19, then I'd place Spike at 14 or more.

[Germgod]

Ponies cannot fly and do magic either, since all the ponies in the show are very different from ponies in real life, we can assume that they have a longer lifespan(maybe even have the same lifespan that humans have)

[Forestshadows]

2270378 You're just ten? I'm 14 and I think I can safely say that you write better than I do...

[Deyeaz]

This please me. :3 Keep at it, mate.

[Ignaltus]

[paintsplatter12]

I'm not sure if the mistakes are on purpose, or if it's just because Spike can't write very well. Anyhoo, it's promising.

[Eighth Note]

MOAR!!!!!!!!!

[Changeling-Drone]

hmm twilight with a mild case of asergers... we are more alike then i originally thought
:

[WorkingClassWriter]

2270461-Thanks! I like to believe that unicorns age the same as humans but live twice as long, earth ponies age normal and live four times longer, and pegasi age slightly slower and live slightly longer than men. Hope that clears things up!:
2270548-Thanks for the nice comment!:
2270574-Almost exactly what I believe.
2270582-...to tell you the truth, I'm Filipino-Chinese. That surprise you?
2270658-Glad you liked it!
2270779-Wow! Was it really that funny?
2270857-They are mine except for the paragraph spacing mistakes-that's Spike's fault. Fixing it right now.
2270971-Woah, my ears hurt, that sounded like Isabel Kabra shouting to her henchmen. Glad you liked it.
2271837-Who? me or Twilight(who is sill best pony!)?

[SmegAndTheHeads]

I shall be looking forward to this story. Keep it up!

[Changeling-Drone]

2273601 twilight,i have a mild case of aspergers

[jroetzer]

Woo Hoo! Aspergers Twi headcannon accepted, partly due to my own diagnosis.

[AL]

really nice :DD

[Red Fox14]

This looks interesting. Just one error I caught...

"Twilight got wings and went rough a portal "

Shouldn't that be through?

[WorkingClassWriter]

2273948-thanks!
2274668-Oh, i seem to have one too, but I'm really not sure yet.
2275674-Hmm, lots of people on the internet seem to have minor diseases these days!
2276327-Glad you enjoyed it!
2279845-Fixed.

[Blood Brandy]

It may be long, but if you shortened the name to something, like, The Institute of Epic And Awesome Spells, it would be cooler and would look pretty kickin' on a resume.

And I would rather like to see more of this

[WorkingClassWriter]

2288147-Ok, I'll consider that for next chapters. Also, a note to everypony: Please don't swear, some of my friends are visiting this page.

Sorry, Ninja'd!

[Telly Vision]

Reminds me of diary of a wimpy kid.

[IceQB]

you're... 10?!

teach me young master *bows*

[Sky Charmer]

Have one problem with this first chapter (really hoping the rest of the story isn't like this). There isn't any spacing between paragraphs. That really annoys me. It looks just like a wall-o-text to me. It's also very straining to read, you lose your place easily and can't find where you were because there aren't any spaces between paragraphs. You don't have to fix it, it's just something that really bothers me.

[Sylpheed Dashstep]

Yes, this story is amazing.
Aspergers headcanon excepted. To tell the truth, I've never given that thought, but now that you mention that it makes so much sense.
And you were ten when you wrote this? *bows* Teach us the ways of your art master (I started writing when I was 13 and I'm still trash at it after two years of trying, going by my upvotes and downvotes)
~Sylpheed and Eli

[FashionablyHospitable]

if I just right a simple, short

Mistake? Intended to show Spike's young age? Or intentionally placed to screw with Twilight?

[The Shadow]

Well, considering that you wrote this when you were 10 and the fact that this is only the first chapter I’ve read, I have to say I am extremely impressed. The flow in this is very good and doesn’t go from one extreme to the other, leaving you confused. There doesn’t appear to be any spelling mistakes that I could see, but I do read incredibly fast and sometimes my brain fills in the blank if there is (unless the whole story has a lot of them, then I start having issues). I honestly didn’t start writing until I was 13 or so and I didn’t write as well as this.

Congratulations, I am going to keep reading, as this has my interest and it might even go into my Favorites.

[KvAT]

So, I'm forced to write down every single time something interesting happens, and they have to make sense, which means I have to be honest, like I can't write that Twilight got wings and went trough a portal and became one of those rumored human creatures ,but kept her new wings, and that I went to the moon straight after that.
