> Spike The Alicorn > by Spikemaster105 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Back From The Dead > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lightning and thunder can be heard as rain poured down in the dark night, a purple colt with emerald green mane and tail can be seen running away from a creature with green glowing eyes and made out of wood. The colt looked tired and ready to collapse, but his will to survive was giving him energy he didn't know he had. "I'm too tired to keep running, I need to getaway somehow" he panted as he looked around to escape the wooden beast. As the creature was closing in, the colt saw the edge of the dark Forest and use what remaining energy he had and ran as fast as he could to escaping the Forest. He made it to what he believed was a farm, he looked back and saw the creature standing at the edge of the Forest as he stopped to catch his breath. "Guess they don't like to leave that awful place", he said tired. He walked for a while and saw a barn, then he started to stumble, "this is it, guess i'm gonna die not knowing who i am and where i came from", he thought before he collapsed in exhaustion hunger and freezing. As morning came, the sky cleared up and Celestia's sun came out as an orange mare with a blond mane and tail with 3 apples for a cutie mark was seen sleeping, she opened her eyes with a smiled and got up to stretch as a yawn escaped her muzzle. She grabbed her cowgirl hat and place it on her head, "glad that storms over, now i can buck those trees and finish collecting those apples", she said to herself with a smile. Then she frowned saying, "maybe i can check on Twilight afterwards, see how she's doing". She remembered how worried Twilight was when Spike disappeared, she remembered the face Twilight had when she accepted that Spike was gone after 2 months of searching for the little drake. Twilight broke down and locked herself away in the frienship Castle and started blaming herself for Spikes disappearance for a year as her friends tried getting her out, but she wouldn't listen. The mare walked downstairs of her home and greeted her sibs and granny, "morning Apple Bloom Mac Granny", she saw them eating. "Morning Applejack" they greeted back in union, Applejack sat at the table and ate in silence with them. Things hasn't been the same in Ponyville since Spike disappeared, he was the most friendliest helpful dragon in town. When she finished eating, she walked outside to the barn to get some baskets as a sad smile came across her muzzle, she was thinking how Spike always came to help with the apple harvest. When she was about to open the barn doors, she saw in the distance a pony on the floor, she went to investigate and found a purple colt out cold, she nudged him asking, "hey lil fella, you ok", but he wasn't responding. She notice the tiny wings and horn, she stared to shock at at the colt she thought there were only five alicorns, but she found a alicorn colt on her farm and he was not responding. "I need to get him to the Hospital, quick", she picked him up and placed him on her back, she galloped as fast as she could to the Ponyville resident Hospital, "I need to talk to Twilight and the others about this", she thought. After taking the colt to the Hospital, she was on her way to the friendship castle, she knocked on the giant crystal door and yelled, "Twilight? I need to talk to you? its important". She heard the door creak open and saw her friend peek through, "i'm ok Applejack, you don't have to check in on me", Twilight told her. "Twilight, this is not about that, i found a colt on my farm", the country pony told her friend. Twilight looked at her confused, "what, is he ok" Twilight asked. "Yeah, he's ok...but it's just that, you need to see for yourself", Applejack told her, Twilight opened the giant crystal door fully and there she stood, messy unkempt purple mane and tail with a pink magenta streak in it, tears on her face from recent crying, she used her magic to clean herself up and follwed Aj to the Hospital. When they got there, they asked Nurse Redheart, "how is he nurse?" Redheart smiled, "he's doing ok, he was just hungry tired and cold, plus he had a sprained hoof", she lead them to the room, as they walked in they saw the colt sitting up in a Hospital bed awake with a bandage wrapped around his left hoof. The colt looked at Applejack and asked with a smile, "are you the pony that brought me here?" Applejack smiled in relief to see he was ok and answered, "yeah, i'm the one that brought you here". She thought of something, then walked up to the bed and asked, "hey lil guy, do you know were your ma and pa is?" The colt looked down with a frown and said, "i don't have a mom and dad". He looked up at Twilight and saw she was staring at him wide eyed in shock, "another alicorn, but a colt", she whispered. Then she walked up to the bed and asked, "how did you end up on my friends farm?" The colt shrunk back and answered, "i-i was running from a creature last night in some awful Forest". Applejack eye's widen and said, "Timber Wolves" She looked at the colt and asked, "why would you be in the Everfree forest?" The colt looked at her confused and asked, "what is a Timber Wolve, and what is this Everfree Forest?" Twilight stared at him and said, "you not from around here, don't you have any relatives, like a big brother sister aunt or uncle?" Again the colt looked down with a sad expression, "i don't, I've been alone as long as i can remember, I've been traveling by myself, eating whatever i can find and drinking water from what ever lakes and rivers i come across." Applejack looked him in his emerald green eye's and said, "whats your name lil guy?" He looked up to her, "i don't know my name, i can't remember". Twilight looked confused, a purple alicorn colt was found with no name and relatives. Nurse Redheart walked back in with a clipboard in hoof, "so, i would let him leave, but i need to find his guardians". Twilight looked at her and whispered, "Nurse Redheart, can i talk to you, in private". They walked out the room and Twilight turned to her and said, "Nurse, he doesn't have anypony, no mom or dad, he's been alone since he can remember". Redheart gasped, "oh my Celestia, that's awful, a little colt alone by himself". Twilight thought of something, then decided, "I'll take him in since he has nopony to watch him". Redheart gave her a concerned look and asked, "are you sure, i mean ever since Spike-". "I'm sure Redheart", Twilight cut her off and walked back in the room as Nurse Redheart put a smile on. She said to the colt, "whats you name?" Applejack turned to Redheart, "he doesn't have one". "No name? well then, you are ok to go, just take care of that sprained hoof, ok" Nurse Redheart told the colt, he smiled and nodded. Redheart turned to Twilight and handed her the papers, "i need your signature, saying he's in your care". Twilight took the pen with her magic and signed her name, she walked up to the colt and asked with a smile, "can you use your magic or fly?" The colt looked down and said, "i can't fly", he smiled a little, "but i can barley use magic", Twilight pick him up gently with her magic and placed him on her back. "Is this ok with you", Twilight asked smiling as she turned her head to face him. He shifted a little and said, "yeah, it's ok". Twilight walked out with the colt on her back, they stayed in an awkward silence, Twilight decided to break the ice and asked, "so, anything you like to do, you know, besides traveling?" The colt looked away and told her, "what i like to do is find out who i am, you know, find out were i came from". Twilight thought of something, then asked, "hey, would you like to meet the rest of my friends?" The colt smiled and said, "sure, i like that". The colt then thought, "why do she look like I've seen her before, but i can't remember her". Twilight called, "hey, you ok? you zoned out for a minute". The colt thought, then said, "Forest, call me Forest, you know cause my mane". Twilight giggled and said, "ok, Forest". When they made it to the friendship Castle, Twilight opened the door and walked inside, she closed it and used her magic to lift Forest off her back and placed him down gently on the crystal floor, she said, "well, welcome to my home". Forest looked around in awe as he limped and said, "you live here, its so big". He found a picture of her friends, he noticed a purple and green baby dragon in it and said, "never knew you had a dragon". Twilight frowned and told him, "thats my little brother Spike, he....died last year", Forest saw her looked down, trying to fight back tear's. Forest looked at the picture again and asked, "what happened to him?" Twilight looked away and answered, "he went into the Everfree Forest...and never came back, we searched for him for two months, but i just accepted the fact that he was gone". Twilight walked to the cutie map and used her magic to call her friends, after a while, a blue mare with a rainbow mane and tail barged in through the doors yelling, "alright, it's about time, I've been itching for some action". She saw Forest behind Twilights hind leg scared and asked confused, "hey, who's the colt", four other mares walked in afterwards, they saw Forest also. Twilight moved and introduced, "Forest, these are my friends Pinkie Rarity Rainbow Dash Fluttershy and Applejack, oh and my name is Twilight Sparkle". Forest shrunk and looked down and said, "h-hi, my name is Forest". Then he thought, "why do they look so familiar, but i can't remember them", Pinkie popped up out of nowhere, in his face startling him. "HII'MPINKIEPIEAREYOUNEWHEREWHATKINDACAKEDOYOULIKE-" she was pulled away from him, by her tail from Rarity. "Pinkie, your scaring the poor little guy", she said giving the pink pony a stern look. Rarity turned to Forest and said in a sweet voice, "hello there, my name is Rarity". Forest stared at her and blushed, Twilight saw this and thought with a smile,"wow, just like Spi-", she stopped and took a good look at him, "purple fur, green mane and tail". Then her eye's widen and spoke, "nononono it can't be", her friends and Forest heard her and turned to face her. Rarity asked, "Twilight darling, whats wrong", Twilight eye's where wide with tears, staring at Forest. Suddenly she pulled Forest into a hug crying, "Spike, you alive, i-i thought you were dead", the girls looked confused as Forest was trying to get out off her death grip, when he did he ran behind Applejack scared. They glared at her as Applejack said glaring, "what in tarnation has gotten into you girl". Twilight looked at them, "girls, thats Spike, don't believe me, look at the picture and look at him, purple fur green mane, Spike purple scales green spikes". They did just that and saw the resemblance, they stared at him in shocked, then shock turned to tear's of joy as they embraced him crying, "Spike", over and over, when they let go, Spike looked at them scared and confused. He backed up saying, "i don't know you, so tell me whats going on, why you calling me Spike". Twilight walked towards him saying, "Spike, it's me? Twilight? your friend? your sister?" Spike backed up and said, "my names Forest, not Spike". Rarity called out to him, "please Spikey-Wikey, its us, surely you can't forget that beautiful heart shaped gem you gave me for your 10th birthday", she said with a frown. Spike backed up more and hurt his hoof again, "aahh my hoof", he pick it up off the ground. Twilight tried to come to his aid, but Fluttershy came to him gentry and picked him up cradling him, "oh, you poor thing, you hurt your hoof, here, let me make it better", she gently kissed his bandaged hoof making Spike stare at her, then out of nowhere he grabbed his head groaning in pain, then he passed out. They cried out, "SPIKE!", as he layed limp in Fluttershy's arms, but they can see he was still breathing. The girls looked at the passed out Spike with concern, then Twilight yelled, "quick, take him upstairs while I'll go get the Princesses". Fluttershy nodded, then flew upstairs with a passed out Spike in her hooves as Twilights horn glowed, then she disappeared in a flash. She reappeared in Canterlot next to a Castle, she saw the guards at a gate salute her as they let her pass, she ran in thinking, "I hope Celestia has a explanation for this". > Remembering EveryThing Sorta > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike was in a dark void, floating in midair, wondering where he was at. "Where am i? why is it so dark?" he asked, looking around scared. "That's because your in the dream realm" he heard a voice say. There was a flash of a bright light that neary blinded him. He saw a purple, and green baby dragon. "Hey, i know you, you were in that picture i saw" Spike said in shock. The dragon nodded, and said "That's right, and I'm here to help you remember who you are". What Spike saw next was the same baby dragon he saw, walking in Ponyville, with a smile on his face. He was waving to ponies that pass by, and they were waving back, then he heard 2 ponies talking about a gem stone in the Everfree forest "hey, did you grab that gem in the Everfree?" one pony said. Spike saw the baby dragon stop, and jump behind a barrel to listen. "No man, I almost had it, but those Timber Wolves found me in that dark Castle". the baby dragon grinned, and walked out from his hiding spot, saying "Sweet, there a tasty gem in mom's old Castle," he licked his lips "hmm Twilight would freak if I go into the Everfree...meh she'll get over it" he shrugged. He started to walk to the Everfree, and Spike was following him. When the baby dragon crossed into the Everfree, everything changed again, Spike looked around, and saw that he was in some old dark Castle, with half the ceiling gone, and spider webs everywhere, it gave him the creeps. He saw the baby dragon pass by the hall way, he ran calling "hey, wait up, what does this have to do with me remembering?" His words fell on deafs ear, he ran in front of the baby dragon to try again "I said, what does this ha-" he stopped talking, as the baby dragon walked through him, Spike shuddered "dude, that's creepy". He turned around just in time to see the baby dragon walk into a room. Spike ran to catch up, when he did, he saw the drake picking up a gem stone. the baby dragon sniffed it, and licked his lips, he opened his mouth, and ate it. The baby dragon had a disgust looked on his face, and said "that gem tasted funny for some reason" he shook it off, and walked back out, with Spike not far behind. The seen changed again, Spike looked around saying "now what?" he heard yelling, and saw the baby dragon running away from the Timber Wolves he heard about when he was in the Hospital, he ran, and followed them. When he reached them, he realized he was not in the Everfree, he saw that he was not in Ponyville "shoot, he must of ran the wrong way" he saw the baby dragon grabbing his stomach in pain, as the creature from before, was closing in on him, Spike tried to warn the baby dragon about the river behind him "hey, watch out for that river" but he forgot he couldn't hear, or see him. The baby dragon looked at the Creature with fear, and said "i need to call for help". He took in a large amount of breath, and yelled "TWWWWIIILIIIGGGGHHHHT!!!" he called in the royal Canterlot voice his mom taught him. He backed up more when the creature closed in, but he fell into the river, and started screaming "help somepony help me!" Spike stood there wishing he could do something, but he knows he can't. Everything changed again, and he saw that he was somewhere in a green beautiful forest, he saw the baby dragon crawl out of a river dazed, and tired. Next thing Spike knew, he saw the baby dragon grabbing his stomach in pain, and passed out. What made his jaw drop was that he saw the baby dragon transforming. He saw his claws turn into hooves, his green spikes, and tail turn into a green mane, and tiny wings grew out his back, and a horn from his head. Spike stood there, staring wide eyed at the dragon turned pony, and said "n-no, this can't be....i was a dragon....my name is Spike?". Everything changed again, he was back in Ponyville, 6 ponies searching for something, he heared Twilight crying "Spike? Where are you? Please answer me?" She sounded like she was scared "Spike? Please? Tell me yo-" she stopped when felt a hoof on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Applejack, with tears in her eyes, she said "Twilight...we been searching for 2 months now...we checked all of Equestria" she looked down "maybe we should accept that he's gone". Twilight smacked her hoof off her, and cryed "NO!! He is not gone....h-he c-can't be gone" she felt tears rolling down her cheeks. Spike stood there, watching Twilight fall to the ground. He felt tear's in the corner of his eyes, he walked up to Twilight, and said "I'm here Twilight, I'm ok". But he forgot that she can't hear him, or see him. He saw the rest of the main 6, with another pony he didn't see at the library, walk up to Twilight, and group hug her, as they cried for the baby dragon they knew, and loved. Spike stood there watching them mourn for him, everything went black again, as he saw that he was in a dark void again, floating with images of ponies that knew him when he was a dragon, talking to him. He saw 2 images that caught him attention, one was of him and a filly playing, the filly was running from him, saying "heh heh, can't catch me Spike". The other was of him when he was a tiny baby dragon, and a beautiful white alicorn. The alicorn was cuddling him in her bed as he yawned, and fell asleep. She kissed his tiny head, and whispered "Goodnight, my beautiful child". Everything changed once more, as he saw images of ponies with sad looks. The same 2 images made him want to cry, as he saw a filly, with a red mane, and tail with a pink bow on her head, crying in her room. The other was of the white alicorn crying in her bed saying "my son, I can't believe your gone....why" she cried into her tear soaked pillow. Spike was looking at the alicorn with tears of his own, saying "m-mom.....I'm here, I'm ok". He was starting to remember, he looked around at other images from his lost memory "Twilight! girls! i'm alive! Apple Bloom! Sweetie Belle! Scootaloo! I'm here!" he yelled, as everything went black and he got sucked into the darkness, he screamed as he woke up covered in sweat. > Starting To Remember Now > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike woke up screaming, with tears in his eyes. He looked around and saw the Main 6, with another pony looking down at him with concern. "What happened, where am i?" he groaned "why does my head hurt?" He asked, grabbing his head in pain. Twilight comfort him saying "relax Spike, your safe in your old room". "My old room?" He looked around and saw a small book shelve, he got off the bed and stumbled a little. He closed his eyes and concentrated on his magic, his horn glowed a dark green aura, but stopped do to his headache. He fell as Twilight rushed to his aid, Spike grabbed his head groaning "my head, it hurts too much for me to use my magic". Twilight used her magic to grab the book, she levitated Spike and the book on the bed. Spike thanked her and saw that it read "Family Photos" he opened the book with his hooves. What he saw was pictures of him when he was a dragon with the Main 6, he turned the page and saw other pictures of him and other ponies. One was of him and 3 fillys, smiling for the camera. Spike continued to look through some pages and saw more pictures, some had him and a white stallion dress like a royal guard, some with him and Twilight. He stopped on a photo that had him, the white alicorn he saw in his dream, a night blue alicorn, and a pink alicorn. "Is this my mom?" He asked pointing a hoof at the white alicorn. Twilight smiled a little and said "Yes Spike, thats your mom, aunt and cousin, and the white stallion dress like a royal guard is our big brother Shining Armour". "So, i have a family, i-i have a mom?" He smiled with tears of joy, a year of traveling alone, thinking he has no family, even though he doesn't remember them, he is glad to know that he has a family. "I talked to her, and she love to see you tomorrow morning" Twilight told him with a smile. Spike smiled back and said "i like that, i would love to see my mom again". After every pony left, Spike, Twilight and Starlight Glimmer spend sometime together, they were eating daisy sandwitches. Spike asked "hey Twilight, can i go out to get to know the town again?" Twilight stopped eating and said "i don't know Spike, what if you-". Spike cut her off "come on Twi, it will be a good chance for me to remember again, and i want to remember?" "He has a good point Twilight, exploring the town could help him remember" Starlight told her teacher. Twilight thought about it, then agreed "fine, you can go". Spike got up and ran to the door "but be careful Spike, and be home before it gets dark". Spike was exploring the town, and ponies were happy to see him alive, some were shocked to see he was an alicorn. Spike looked around at all the shops with a smile, he said to himself "this town is so great, how can i not remember it". Spike continued to look around, but stopped when he saw a filly getting bullied. He glared at the bullies and yelled "hey, leave her alone!". they turned around "who's gonna make us? you" the one with a tiara on her head said in a snooty voice. Spike walked in front of the bullies, willing to protect the filly and asked "are you testing me?" The bullies saw that he had no cutie mark and smirked "whatever blank flank" they laughed as they walked away. "Jerks" he muttered, he turned around asking "hey, are you ok?" But froze when he saw the pink bow on her head "Apple Bloom?" He had a small vision of him and her playing, from 4 year's ago. Apple Bloom backed up saying "who are you?" Spike smiled saying "it's me, Spike". She looked confused "Spike?" He nodded, then she saw his fur color and mane. They screamed excitedly embraced eachother, she was happy that her best friend was alive. They broke the hug as Apple Bloom asked "Spike, what happened to you?" Spike smiled saying "long story short, i lost my memory, but I'm starting to remember again". Apple Bloom looked confused, but decided to shrug it off. Apple Bloom asked "hey Spike, wanna go meet Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo?" Spike smiled saying "sure, lead the way" they started to walk. Apple Bloom was leading him through the Apple farm. Spike looked around "if i remember, your leading me to your club house, right?" He asked. Apple Bloom looked at him confused as he said "I'll explain everything, once we get there". Apple Bloom opened the door to the club house and called "alright cusaders, today i bring a guess". Spike saw two other fillies, one was a white unicorn, the other a orange Pegasus. The 2 fillies saw Spike walk in and wave a hoof. Scootaloo asked "who is that?" Apple Bloom smiled saying "girls, this is Spike". Sweetie Belle eye's widen, as her and Scootaloo got up to embrace the colt. Spike got flash backs of him and the cusaders playing games and helping them trying to achieve their cutie marks. They let go as Apple Bloom saw that he had no cutie mark, she smiled saying "hey Spike, care to become a honorary member of the cutie mark crusaders?" Spike smiled saying "it would be an honored to join you girls". After the membership introduction, and Scootaloos drum solo. Spike became a cusader, Apple Bloom put a cape on him with a colt on it, saying "congratulations Spike, you are an officially a cutie mark cusader". Spike embraced her as she blushed. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle giggled at Apple Blooms blushing face, but she shook it off and asked "o-ok, what happened to you Spike, why are you a pony?" Spike sat down on his haunches and told them everything, about how he ended up in Ponyville, and about his dream. 2 hours later, Spike was almost done telling them about his dream "And that's how I'm remembering" Spike finished his story. The girls were shocked, Spike was traveling from town to town outside of Equestria, but happy to know he was home and remember everything. Sweetie Belle got up and said "i gotta go guys, Rarity might need my help on a dress, bye" she walked out. Scootaloo got up saying "me too, Rainbow Dash, and my parents might get worried" she also walked out. Apple Bloom and Spike were the only ones left in the club house, they stood in a awkward silence. Apple Bloom took a quick glanced a Spike and thought "i can't believe Spike is an alicorn" she look away. Apple Bloom asked Spike "so...you happy to be a cusader?" Spike looked back at his cape and said "yeah, it's great" he looked back at Apple Bloom and saw her with her head down "hey, whats wrong?" He asked with concern. "It's like your back from the dead Spike, you don't know what this means to every pony, what it means to me" she had tears in her eyes. She had a crush on Spike since he came to Ponyville with Twilight 4 years ago, when he was 8 years old. She remembered how hurt she was when word got out that Spike disappeared. Then how devastated she felt and how much she cried, when the search was called off and he was pronounced dead. Spike tried to comfort her saying "hey, it's ok Apple Bloom, im here". Apple Bloom nuzzled him under his chin saying "i really missed you Spike". Spike got more flash backs with him and Apple Bloom alone together, helping her with chores, he nuzzled her back saying "i missed you too, and I'm sorry that i forgot you AB" Spike thought of something then asked "hey Apple Bloom, wanna go to Sugar Cube Corner?" Apple Bloom dried her eyes and smiled "sure, i like that". They were in the said building sitting in the back, talking and laughing "wait, wait , wait, so let me get this straight, you the girls tried to get cutie marks in police force?" Spike asked with a chuckle. Apple Bloom rubbed the back of her head embarrassed, saying "cutie mark cusaders police officers". Spike laughed as Apple Bloom pouted "it's not funny Spike, you try arresting ponies twice your size". Spike's laughing turned into chuckles, as he apologized "sorry AB" he ate the rest of his cupcake. They got up and thanked Pinkie for the cupcakes. Spike asked Apple Bloom "do you want me to walk you home?" Apple Bloom smiled "i like that" they started walking to Apple Blooms house. They walked through the farm and made it to Apple Blooms porch "thanks for walking me home Spike" Apple Bloom thanked him. "No problem AB, let me know when's the next cusaders meeting". He was about to walk away, when Apple Bloom called "oh, and um Spike?" "Yes, Apple Blo-" he stopped mid sentence as Apple Bloom kissed his cheek. "Thanks for defending me from Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, bye" she walked inside. Spike was frozen in place, then a smile creeped up on his muzzle as he turned around and started to walk home. Apple Bloom was inside her room talking to herself "why did i kiss him, sure he's a pony now, but still" she groaned and decided to forget about it. Back at the friendship Castle, Twilight was pacing back and forth wondering why Spike has not come home yet. "Just calm down, he's fine, it's not like he's been pony napped or attacked" she started to panic even more "that's it, I'm going to go look for him". She was about to walk out, when the doors opened and Spike walked in. She teleported to him in worry "Spike, are you hurt? did you get lost?" She checked him all over for injuries. Spike calmed her down "relax Twilight, im fine, i was just hanging out with Apple Bloom, look?" He turned around showing off his new cape "im a cusader now". Twilight sighed in relief knowing he was just hanging out with Applejacks lil sister Apple Bloom, then she giggled "so, you were with Apple Bloom, just the two of you" she smirked. "Of course it was just the two of us, why, what are you getting at?" he asked confused as Twilight giggled at how oblivious Spike is. She and the rest of the Main 6 know about Apple Blooms crush on Spike, but he was taking a interest in her too, but not knowing how he was getting closer to her. Spike shrugged it off as he walked in the long hallway to his room, Starlight Glimmer saw Spike and sighed "about time you came back, Twilight was starting to freak". Spike chuckled saying "yeah, she can be a real worry wart, but hey can you blame her, I'm her little brother plus i dont know how to fly, or cast defensive spells". Starlight smiled and asked "if you want, i can teach you someday?" Spike smiled up at her saying "sure, i need to learn some spells anyways". He continued walking to his room. In another Castle, a white alicorn was in her bed chambers, holding a picture to her chest with a smile "Spike, my son, your alive and safe, i can't wait to see you again" she said with her eyes closed. She couldn't wait to hold her son in her arms again. > A Trip To Canterlot > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike was seen hopping in place. Twilight giggled and said "can't wait to see Celestia, huh?" Princess Celestia send Twilight a message saying that she send a chariot to pick them up. "Of course i am Twilight, she's my mom" Spike beamed. The chariot arrived as a unicorn opened the door and said "Prince Spike, we wish to escort you to the Princess". Spike And Twilight hopped in, the door closed as the Pegasi pulling it headed to the Castle, Spike opened his tiny wings and flapped them, he was excited. Twilight looked at him and thought "how is he a alicorn...and why". When they got to Canterlot, Spike looked at the Castle in awe at how big it was, he got another small vision of him walking the streets of Canterlot, and ponies looking at him in disgust or fear because he was a dragon. Spike frowned and looked down. Twilight saw this "Hey Spike, whats wrong?" She asked as she scooted closer to him. "Twilight, did ponies fear me and hated me when i was a dragon?" He asked, looking up at her. Twilight glared out the chariot, remembering the times before they moved to Ponyville, Spike always came home sad or with tears in his eyes. She hated the fact that ponies picked on him because he was a dragon, saying thing like "he doesn't belong here" or "he's a monster" she wanted to give those ponies a piece of her mind for picking on someone that she consider a little brother. Twilight wrapped a hoof around him saying "Spike, if anypony tells you anything bad, you come to me, ok". Spike wrapped his hooves around her and said "thanks, big sis". The chariot landed in front of the Castle, the chariot door opened and Spike hopped out. He froze and stared wide eyed at 3 alicorns in front of him, they did the same with happy tears and smiling. Spike had visions of him and the white alicorn playing in a garden, he was chasing her as they laughed, another one with him riding on the back of a night blue alicorn while she flies through the night sky. And a third vision of him and the pink alicorn pranking a white stallion, they laughed when he complained about his mane. "Mom, auntie Luna, Cadence" he muttered as tears formed in the corner of his eyes with a smile. He ran to them crying "MOM, AUNTIE LUNA, CADENCE" he hugged them as they cried "Spike". Celestia cried tears of joy, hugging her son she thought was dead. Same thing with Luna and Cadence, hugging their nephew and cousin. Twilight looked at them hugging, she smiled at the warm feeling of a mother reuniting with her son. They broke the hug as Celestia looked down at her son in surprise "Spike, your an alicorn, and i think i know why". She put him down and walked towards a large gate with two guards on each side. They were walking to the Castle library as Celestia asked "Luna, why was it impossible to enter Spikes dream?" Luna looked away "well, when we thought our dearest nephew was dead, we didn't bother doing it". When they got there, Celestia was looking for a book "what you looking for Princess?" Twilight asked curiously. Celestia found the book and levitate it on the table, Twilight read it "Equestrias myths and legends". Celestia looked down at Spike and asked "Spike, do you remember how you became an alicorn?" Spike shook his head "no mom, i don't, but i had a dream about you and every pony crying, how you guy's thought i was dead". "But i did see myself when i was a dragon, i was in your old Castle and i ate a funny looking gem, but it tasted funny" he told her. Celestia looked through the pages and stopped on a picture of a fire red heart shaped gem "ah just what i thought, Gem Of Hearts Desire" Celestia read it, she turned the page "whatever dragon eats this gem shall be granted a wish of their hearts desire, even if it means turning into a different species". They looked at Spike as he shrank under their gaze "what?" He asked. Celestia read more "but come at a cost, whatever species the dragon turns into, will no longer have there dragon roots like, greed, craving for gems, and sharp teeth, it also come with a lot of pain, passing out and not remembering what happened and who you are, but the only way for them to remember, is to spend time with the ones they love and care about". They turned to Spike, Celestia asked "my son, was there something you didn't tell us?" Spike looked down "i always wanted to be a pony". "Spike, does this have something to do with what these other ponies told you?" Twilight asked. Spike nodded, "But why?" Twilight asked. "Because of my greed growth, i hate everything about being a dragon, i couldn't stop myself" tears formed in the corner of his eyes. "I didn't want to hurt anypony, i was scared that..what if it happened again, what if i..." he laid down on his stomach, curled into a ball and sobbed. Celestia sat down and levitated her son in her arms "shh, shh, its ok my son". Spike continued "i had dreams mom, dreams that i killed everypony, and i k-killed you, Twilight, aunt Luna, Cadence, and the girls, i-i-i didn't want to hurt you" he sobbed into his mothers chest. Twilight put a hoof to her mouth, Spike had dark nightmares that he destroyed Equestria as a big dragon, and that he killed her, the girls, and everypony around. Spike looked up and asked "mom, if it came true, would you- Celestia cut him off "no, i wouldn't have the heart to put you down, you are my son, my beautiful child and i love you too much to think about doing that" she kissed him on the head. Twilight and Luna joined in on the hug. "Same with me Spike, your my little brother and i would hate myself if it ever came to that" Twilight told him. "As for me dearest nephew, i will be no better then Nightmare Moon, if it came to that too" Luna told him, as Cadence nodded feeling the same for her little cousin. Twilight thought of something "but why an alicorn, and not a earth pony, unicorn or pegasi?" She asked. Spike looked down "i always wanted to be the son you wanted". Celestia gave a stern look at her son "Spike, don't ever say that, you are my son and we will always love you no matter who or what you are". She hugged him as Luna, Twilight and Cadence agreed. Spike smiled with tears "mom, Twi, aunt Luna and Cadence, i love you all". "We love you too Spike" they said in union. Twilight looked through the book saying "it says that theres no reversing it, no magic can reverse it" she closed the book "guess your stuck as an alicorn Spike". Spike smiled "yeah, i can fly" he looked back at his tiny wings "if i learn how too, i can learn spells" he smile grew "i can fall in love". The Princesses giggled "i got to say Spike, you do make a cute colt, it will be a matter of time before fillies start chasing you" Celestia told her son, she giggled as Spike blushed "mom" he wined. Twilight smirked "Apple Bloom will have some competition for your affection". Spike glared at her as Celestia smirked "oh, does my son have a fillyfriend i don't know about" she teased. "Mom" Spike wined "shes a filly and shes a friend, but shes not a fillyfriend". Cadence giggled "Spike, did you forget that i am the Princess of love, i can sence when someone is in love". Spike blushed remembering that she can do that. They walked out of the Castle library, and started walking down a big hallway. Spike was looking at his tiny wings and stretching them, Twilight saw this "Spike, if you want i can teach you how to fly?" She asked. Spike smiled at her "sure, Twi". Spike thought of something "hey mom, can i go walk around Canterlot to remember it?" Celestia smiled at him "yes Spike, you can...wait right here, ok". Spike was confused, but did what he was told. Spike was grumbling as he walked the streets of Canterlot. His mother asked a royal guard to escort and protect her son, while he looked around. Spike had a sour look on his face "when i said walk around, i meant by myself mom, i aint a little colt anymore, i mean i survived by myself for a year". He saw ponies looking at him, and whispering thinks like "hey, is that the Princesses son" or "he looks better as a colt then a dragon, he will fit right in". Spike walked closer to the royal guard, the guard asked "is something wrong young Prince?" Spike looked around at every pony "why are the mares staring at me" he thought. Then out of nowhere fillies started to come up to him, they where telling him things the made him blush like "you look cuter as a alicorn" or "would you like to hang out with me". The guard tried to protect him, but he felt over whelmed by a bunch of fillies. He looked back at Spike and said "run", Spike took off as fast as his hooves can take him. The fillies over power the guard somehow as they gave chase to the poor colt. > Trip To Canterlot Part 2 Family Bonding > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike was running from the fillies, he passed by other colts that watched in envy or jealousy. Spike turned corners and tried hiding, but they keeped on finding him. Spike was getting tired "i need to head back to the Castle" he turned a corner running back to the Castle, his mane was unkempt and his fur was dirty. He ran past the royal Guard that was to protect him, he was hurt and getting up "STOP!" They stopped "I am a royal Guard you fillies..and i will not be over power by-" he screamed like a mare when they ran over him. He laid on the floor groaning "everything hurts". With Spike, he looked back and saw the fillies growed in numbers "i'm almost there" he booked it past the gate, he looked back and saw the fillies stopped at the gate, he smiled. He wasn't looking where he was going and ran into a white stallion with a blond mane and tail. "Ow" Spike said in pain on the floor, "hey, who let a filthy colt like you in a royal place like this?" The stallion asked in a snooty voice. Spike looked up and was surprised, he had flash backs of the stallion, telling him thinks like "you are not royalty" or "a beast like you deserves to be put down like a monster". "B-Blueblood" he backed up scared of him, he remembered all the times Blueblood called him names. Blueblood glared "that's Prince Blueblood to you, pesent". Spike backed up some more as Blueblood took a good look at him "you look familiar...have we met" he saw his unkempt mane and dirty fur, he cringed "well, it doesn't matter" he smirked "Guards". Two Guards appeared "take this..filthy colt outside" the Guards didn't move. Blueblood looked at them "whats wrong with you, i said take this filthy colt outside" the Guards still didn't move. Spike thought of something "Guards" they stood at attention, waiting for Spikes command. Spike smirked at Blueblood "take this...stallion to my mother" the Guards saluted "yes, Prince Spike" they grabbed Blueblood as he struggled. Celestia was in a royal meeting, when the Guards walked in with Spike, Celestia stood up and asked "what did you do this time Blueblood?" Blueblood was still struggling "me? I didn't do anything, it was that filthy colt". Celestia saw Spike "Spike, what happened to you". "Fillies mom, and im scared to go back out" he shook. Blueblood paled at the name "S-Spike? As in that reptile Spike". Celestia looked at him and asked in a scary voice "what did you do to my son?" The two Guards told her "your Majesty, he tried to have the Prince thrown out". Spike hugged her leg "and he called me filthy". Celestia's eye twitched "take Blueblood to the dungeon...I'll have a talk with him tomorrow about what its like to feel a mothers wrath". The Guards saluted her, then took a crying Blueblood to the dungeon. She turned to the business ponies in the room and told them "i'm absolutely sorry, but this meeting is cancelled" they nodded in understanding, and got up to leave. She looked down at Spike "come on, let's get you washed up so we can do some family bonding". After Spike took a bath, Celestia was drying him off "Mom! Mom, you messing up my mane" he fix his mane with a hoof. "Spike, stop moving", she said trying to dry him off with a towel. Celestia finished drying him off "ok, ok, i'm clean, can we go now, please" he said the last part with a beaming smile. Celestia giggled "ok Spike, lets go" they walked out of Celestia's bedroom. As they walked down a hallway, Celestia asked "where is that royal Guard that was supposed to escort and protect you?" Spike scratched the back of his head. With the royal Guard that was supposed to protect Spike, he was being carried by two other royal Guards. They asked "What happened, you look like you were in a bar fight?" "Fillies" he grumbled. They stopped "you got over powered by Fillies, you, a trained Guard" he nodded, then they dropped him and started laughing there flanks off. They walked untill they saw a male version of Celestia with a brown mane and tail, and a brown beard. She asked "Solaris, care to join us?" "I would love to join you dear" he answered with a smile. They walked out of the Castle, ponies bowed in respect as they walked down the street, "so, were are we going mom", Spike asked. Celestia smiled "how about Doughnut Joe's". Spike looked confused "Doughnut Joe's", he asked. "You don't remember him Spike, he was one of the few ponies that was nice to you in Canterlot" she told him. They walked to the said place, when they walked in, Joe saw Spike "Spike, so it is true, you are an alicorn and alive" he said with a smile. Spike stared at him as he got more visions of him and Joe having friendly talks and Joe defending him whenever some pony said something bad about him. Spike smiled "Joe...now i remember you, you have the best Doughnuts in Canterlot" Spike beamed. Joe saw Princess Celestia and Prince Solaris, he bowed "what can i get you, your Highnesses" he asked. "We'll take 2 coffees, a hot coco and 3 doughnuts" she ordered with a smile, he nodded and went to the back. Spike was sipping his hot chocolate, he saw some fillies looking at him, when he looked at them they quickly look away. "Hey mom, what happened when i was gone", he asked. Celestia gave a smile "a lot has changed Spike, you have a baby cousin/niece". She looked at Solaris "and i found love" she kissed him. Spike looked at them "so..i have a dad" he asked with a smile. Celestia nodded "yes Spike, he is my husband and your father", Spike had a big smile, he had a complete family now, he has a dad. They continued to walk the streets as Spike looked at all the shops, he even got himself a custom designed saddle bag with green flames on the side of the pockets. "hey mom, can we take a ride on the clouds?" Spike asked looking up at the said clouds. Celestia nodded and levitated him on her back, as she spread her wings and flown to the nearest cloud, Solaris did the same, when they landed on it, Spike hopped off her back as they laid down on the cloud. Spike walked around on the cloud "it feels like a pillow" he walked to the edge of the cloud and stretched his tiny wings, moving them up and down. Celestia was laying down next to her husband "Spike, don't get too close to the edge" she warned her son. "Relax mom, i'm just trying to- woaa-ahhh" he was too close, so he slipped and fell off. "SPIKE!" Celestia cried about to get up to save her son, but Solaris spread his wings and flew after his son with speed. Spike was falling and screaming "aaahhhh" he opened his wings, trying to fly, but it was no use. He closed his eyes thinking he was going to die, but stopped when some pony grab him in mid air, he opened his eyes and saw his new father carrying him back to the cloud. When he landed, he put Spike down, Celestia picked Spike up in a hug "Spike, my son, im so glad you alright" she said kissing him on the head, she put him down "Thank you Solaris, for saving our son" she said nuzzling her husband. Spike looked at Solaris "thanks...dad, for saving my life" he thanked his father. "Hey, your my son, and i will do everything in my power to protect you" he said, giving Spike a noogy. When the sun was setting, Spike fell asleep curled up between his parents. "Do you think he will be ok with us as a family?" She asked her husband, looking down at Spike as he slept. Solaris kissed her "i'm sure he'll understand" he smirked "who knows, maybe we can do some father and son pranking, but he'll be surprised about his other big sister". When night time came, Celestia gently levitated Spike on her back as Solaris picked his saddle bag up, they opened their wings, and flew back to the Castle. They landed on the balcony, they walked down the long hallway to their bed chambers, they opened the door and walked inside as Solaris put the saddle bag away. Celestia closed the door, and Solaris's horn started to glow, his body became gray and long, with limps of different species, a horn and antler, a grey beard and red eyes. They got under the covers with Spike between them still fast asleep. Celestia kissed her husband "good night, my handsome Prince" she looked at Spike and kissed his head "and good night, my beautiful boy" she closed her eyes. "Sleep well Princess" her husband looked at Spike "sleep tight son" he closed his eyes falling asleep with his wife and son. > Spikes Surprise Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike and Twilight were on there way back to Ponyville on the Friendship express. "I can't believe those fillies tried to get me to hang out with them" he said, still remembering how earlier, different fillies came up to him to see if he wanted to hang out before he goes back to Ponyville. "Can you blame them Spike, you do make a cute colt" Twilight teased and giggled. He asked curiously "Has that ever happened to you Twilight?" Twilight stopped giggling "has what ever happened to me?" She was wondering what he meant. "You know, Stallions chasing you, asking you if you wanna hang out?" he looked at her. Twilight blushed and scratched her head "some were like that, after i became a Princess" she chuckled nervously, remembering all the stallions that tried to ask her out, but she turned them down gently. Spike shrugged and stared out the window, "i wanna learn how to fly today" he said out of nowhere. Twilight heard him "Spike, are you sure you wanna start today?" "Yes Twilight, i wanna start flying" he looked at his wings, flapping and stretching them. Twilight giggled "ok, but after the surprise". Spike turned to her "what surprise? What are talking about?" Twilight shook her head "sorry Spike, but you have to wait till we get to Ponyville". Spike continued to stare at her confused, but decided to shrugged it off. When they got to Ponyville, Spike looked around with his saddle bag on his back and asked "hey, were is everypony, i thought the girls and cmc will be here" he frowned. They walked the empty streets of Ponyville, Twilight asked "hey Spike, let's check Sugercube Corner, see if anypony is there?" Spike nodded and followed Twilight, when they got to the building, they saw that everything was dark inside, Spike walked inside first. When he did, the lights came on and everypony in town jumped out yelling "SURPRISE" but stopped and looked at him concerned. Spike was scared, he had his eyes closed with a green bubble shield around his body, Twilight tapped the shield and asked "Spike, it's ok, it's just a surprise party". He opened his eyes, and saw everypony looking at him with worry, his horn stopped glowing, and the shield disappeared. Spike looked at everypony "sorry guys, but a year of traveling alone, i'm not use to anything jumping out at me" he said looking down. Twilight hugged him and said "Spike, your home, you don't have to be scared no more, you got me and the girls to protect you". Spike saw a banner that said Welcome Back Spike And We Are So Glad Your Alive Party, there was party streamers every where, green and purple balloons, and a party cake. Spike smiled and hugged her back saying "your right Twi, i Don't have to be scared anymore". They broke the hug "alright, lets party" Spike said with smile as every pony cheered. The music was being played by Ponyville's resident DJ, Vynle Scratch, every pony was dancing and having fun, some mares hugged Spike, thinking how cute he was as a colt, witch caused him to blush, but ponies hugged him saying how glad they are for him to be alive and well, some fillies thought he was cuter as a colt. As the party went on, as Diamond Tiara walked up to Spike when he was standing by the punch bowl "so your Spike, the dragon from last year" she said with a fake smile. Spike turned to her "yeah, that me, whats your name?" She got a little closer to him "my name is Diamond Tiara, the most cutest and beautiful filly in Ponyville" she pointed with a hoof to a gray filly with glasses "and that over is Silver Spoon". Spike looked at the gray filly, she blushed and waved with a smile. Spike looked back at Diamond Tiara, "so..i was wondering if you like to hang out me and my friend Silver Spoon" she batted her eye lashes at him. From a distance, the cmc saw this as there eyes twitched, the Main 6 saw them and giggled "you girls are jealous, huh" Rarity asked. They blushed and told their sister's "we are not jealous" they glared at them. A flash was seen, as Discord popped out of no where, "daddy, so glad you can make it...wheres mom", Fluttershy said hugging her father. "Hello Fluttershy, my dearest daughter, surley i can't miss my son's welcome back party" he said with a smile. "As for your mother, she should be hear any minute, i gotta say, your mother spends time looking at dresses in her closet, ponies don't normally wear clothes" he said with a shake of his head. Celestia appeared in a flash, behind him without him knowing. "She tells me things like do you think my butt look big or does this dress make my butt look big, her butt wouldn't look big, if she learn to stay away fro...what you girls looking at" he twisted his head around, and paled when he saw his wife glaring at him. "What was that, dear husband" she said looking at him, ready to send him to the moon. Fluttershy flew to her, "mom, it's been awhile", she said hugging the Princess. Celestia hugged her back, "it's great to see you too, my daughter", she said with a smile. Fluttershy was an orphan since she was 8, she lived on her own ever sence, after Fluttershy befriended Discord, they had a father and daughter relationship, but after a while Fluttershy saw Discord as her father and Discord saw her as his daughter. He even protected her like a father, after Discord married Celestia, Fluttershy saw her as her mother. They broke the hug, "So, where is Spike? They looked around for their son. Fluttershy pointed a hoof at him, as they turned around they saw the cmc walking over to Diamond Tiara who was talking to Spike, Discord grinned "oh, this is gonna be good" he snapped his fingers, making popcorn appear in his lion paw. "Well.." Diamond said waiting for and answered, he was going to say something when Scootaloo said "don't do it Spike". Diamond groaned "what do you want?" "Sorry Diamond, but i have plans, maybe later" he said with a smile. Diamond groaned saying "plans? What? Your hanging out with talentless blank flanks like them", Spikes eyes widen, the word blank flank echoed in his head, he got images of the fillie bullying his friends calling them blank flanks, and talent less. "You" he glared "now i remember you...your Diamond Tiara, you bullied my friends years ago" he said, staring at her. "Yeah" she shrugged "so, you wanna hang out with cute fillies like me and my friend, or.." she looked at the cmc "..you wanna stay, and hang out with losers like them". Spike shook his head "Sorry Diamond, but i'm already am hanging out with cute fillies, so no" the cmc stared at Spike in shock, thinking the same thing "he thinks im cute". She turned and stomped away back to Silver Spoon, Spike turned and the cmc gave him a group hug, Spike blushed. When they broke the hug, Spike scratched the back of his head "umm...i can explain", they giggled at how embarrassed he was for saying that. Spike heard somepony call his name, he turned around and saw his mom, with somepony he never seen before. He walked over, hugging her "mom, your here, but were is dad?" He saw the draconequus, and his eyes widen as he got vision of Discord, from when he broke free from his stone prison, to when he was reformed and he even remembered one time after Teriks defeat, he gave his mother flowers as an apology. "D-Discord...your my..dad" he asked wide eyed. Discord snapped his fingers and appeared in a black armour suit and helmet, he breathed heavily "yes Spike.....i..am your father". Pinkie appeared out of nowhere and fell to her knees, and her front hooves up staring at the ceiling, she yelled "Noooo", everypony looked at her weird. She looked around "i mean...yes" she beamed and disappeared some how. Celestia started to explain "Spike, when you were gone...i was devastated, but Discord helped me through the pain...he was there for me..eventually we fell in love, and he asked me to marry him...so i did". Discord snapped his fingers and turned into Solaris, "when i'm in Canterlot or the Crystal Empire, i'm Prince Solaris", his horn glowed and transformed back "but when i'm in Ponyville, i'm Discord the embodiment of chaos". Spike looked up at him "but why...why change yourself when you in Canterlot..and what is this Crystal Empire". "I felt like you Spike, ponies judge me for being different", he looked at Celestia, "but i do it for your mother, the mare i love" he said kissing her. "So Spike, are you ok with this" he asked, everypony looked on. He thought about it "yeah, i'm ok with it, it would be nice to have a dad". Discord smiled and snapped his fingers, making a t-shirt appear that said NUMBER 1 DAD everypony cheered and continued to party. The cusaders came up to Spike, Sweetie Belle asked "come on Spike, lets dance", she said pulling him to the dance floor. They started dancing with him, some fillies looked on jealousy how the cmc get to dance with Spike, some tried to dance with him, but backed off when the cusaders glared at them when Spike wasn't looking. It was starting to get late as Celestia was ready to leave to lower the sun, so Luna can raise the moon, after the party ended Celestia and Discord was saying goodbye to their son and daughter. "Bye Spike, don't forget to visit us again", Celestia said hugging her son. "I will, bye mom...bye dad...love you" Spike said hugging his mom. "We love you too Spike" Celestia and Discord said in union. They broke the hug, "Oh, and um...Fluttershy...take care of your little brother", They said before disappearing in a flash. Spike jaw dropped, "wait...Fluttershy is my..", she picked him up in a hug "thats right Spike, im your big sister..now you have two", she said hugging him. Spike shocked look turn into a happy one, he has 2 big sister's. Fluttershy put him down. Everypony went home, at the Boutique, Sweetie Belle was in her room laying on her bed talking to herself "i can't believe Spike thinks im cute....he does look cute as a colt" she said with a smile. At Rainbow Dash's parents house, Scootaloo was in her room thinking the same "Spike called me cute she smiled he does look cool as a alicorn she closed her eyes thinking about seeing the colt again. > Learning To Fly And Not So Flying Date > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike woke up with a smile, today was the day Twilight was going to teach him how to fly. They forgot about it the other day because of the party, Twilight freaked out and apologize to Spike several times, even though he forgave her. "Alright, i can't wait to start flying", he said running out of his room, to the library part of the Castle. "This is so boring" he said, bored out of his mind. He was hoping to go somewhere to learn how to fly, like a open field, but Twilight was drawing all kinds of flight pattern's on a chalk board. "When you fly Spike, flap your wings slow and steady", she said while drawing the lessons on the board. "Twilight, can we go out to an open field, so you can show me and do a demonstration", he asked with a bored expression. He's been sitting in a desk for 3 hour's, Twilight pulled a book thats almost as big as him out from the top shelve that read An Equestrian Guied To Be A Safe Flyer. Spike groaned "Twilight, that's gonna take forever" he face desked himself. Twilight gave him a stern look, "Spike, you have to learn these lessons, or your end up like..", knocks were heard, cutting her off. She walked away to answer the door, when she did, Scootaloo was standing there with a smile, "hi Twilight, i was wondering if Spike like to hang out with me today", she said with a small blush. Twilight was going to say he can't, but Spike came from behind her and answered "sure Scootaloo, I like to hang out with you...maybe I'll remember more", he walked out. Twilight called out to him "we'll finish when you get back Spike", she closed the door and sighed, "Spike, your growing up fast...and it's making me worry", she walked to the library to reshelve everything. With Spike and Scootaloo, they were walking through the streets of Ponyville. "Thanks for saving me from a boring lesson Scootaloo", he said thanking her. Scootaloo looked away with a small smile and blush, "n-no problem Spike", she shook it off, "so, what were you learning", she asked curiously. Spike smiled, "oh, she was teaching me to fly", he frowned, "but it wasn't what i was hoping for". Some fillies looked at Scootaloo in jealousy as one said to herself, "how come she gets to hang out with Spike, and i don't", she said pouting. Scootaloo smiled, "that awesome Spike, maybe we can fly together some day", she blushed and looked away, embarrassed from what she said. Spike gave her a smile that can make any filly blush, "i don't mind that", he thought of something, "hey Scootaloo, maybe we can help each other to fly". Scootaloo walked a little closer to Spike and said, "that sounds fun". A gray colt saw them and frowned, "i guess i'm not cool enough for her", he said looking down. They walked in a middle of the field, outside of Ponyville, Scootaloo asked "so Spike, how should we started?" Spike shrugged, "lets try running while we flap our wings", she said. Scootaloo nodded as they walked to the other side of the field, they crouched down and took off running, while flapping their wings. Scootaloo was struggling, "come on, i can fly", she said to herself. She got a little airborne, but fell and rolled on the ground, Spike stopped and came to her aid, "Scootaloo! Are you alright", he asked, helping her up. "Y-Yeah, im ok Spike", she said trying to be tough, but she fell back down saying, "ok, lets rest for right now". Spike layed down next to her, little did they know, they were being watched from a cloud as Rainbow Dash said "those two are sure are getting along", she grinned, looking down at them. "They sure are...first Apple Bloom, now Scootaloo", Fluttershy giggled, watching her little brother. After a while, Spike asked "let's try again", he got up and walked to the other side of the field. Scootaloo layed there thinking "he does look cute as a colt", she covered her mouth with a blush, "no...i can't..he's Apple Bloom's crush...not mine" she said to herself. Spike turned around and saw she was still laying down, "Scootaloo, if your still hurt, we can stop if you want to", he said standing on the other side. Scootaloo told him, "no, it's ok Spike, i can still try", she got up and walked over to him. Spike smiled at her saying, "you sure are tough, Scootaloo". Scootaloo blushed and said, "thanks Spike". They tried for hours none stop, they were hurt, but still trying after falling down, Spike was panting, "come on Scootaloo, we said we will fly, and we will", he said not willing to give up just yet. Scootaloo looked down, "it's no use Spike, no matter how much i try, i just can't fly", she tried fighting back tears, but they still came. Rainbow saw her sister crying from the cloud, she muttered, "don't give up kid, i know your better then that". "Maybe Diamond was right, maybe i am a flightless loser", she felt tears rolled down her cheeks, "i don't deserve to fly", she cried. Spike sat next to her, she cried on Spike's shoulder. He got visions of him and Scootaloo alone together, comforting her whenever she was crying about how she can't fly and being a shoulder to cry on whenever Diamond Tiara made fun of her, for not being able to fly. Spike was starting to remember all those times Diamond Tiara called Scootaloo flightless and a chicken, also saying things like "you will never learn to fly". Spike hugged her, "it's ok Scootaloo, don't listen to those negative thoughts, you will fly....no..we will fly, and when we do...me and you will go flying together", he said wiping her tears with a hoof. She dried her eye's, "Promise we'll going flying together". Spike gave her a warm smile, "i promise, Scootaloo". Scootaloo giggled, "do you Pinkie Promise", she asked. Spike tilted his head, "Pinkie..Promise", he was confused by that. Scootaloo frowned, "that's right, you don't fully remember...well a Pinkie Promise goes like this...cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye", she said doing the said motions. Spike shrugged and said, "i Pinkie Promise that we will go flying together...cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye", he did the motions. They tried again as Spike told Scootaloo, "remember...you can fly". Scootaloo nodded and got ready, she said to herself, "i can fly...i can fly", they took off running, she was repeating was she said over and over. Spike was thinking, "come on...for Scootaloo...i Promised her". They opened their wings and flapped them, they closed there eyes as the hovered, soon it turn to flying. Scootaloo opened her eyes and gasped, "i-im flying....i'm flying", she flew around. Spike opened his eye's, "I'm flying....this is so awesome", he flew around. They flew all over the place, cheering. They landed on a cloud as Scootaloo smiled excitedly, "you see, we can fly", Spike told her with a beaming smile. Scootaloo pounced on him and gave him a hug, "thank you Spike, i wouldn't have done it without you", she said nuzzling his cheek. Spike blushed, "um...no problem Scootaloo", she realized what she was doing, and let go of him. She blushed, "s-sorry Spike", she said looking away. "It's ok Scootaloo, so wanna take that fly together", he asked with a smile. "Sounds awesome", she said as they flew off the cloud and glided through the sky. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy followed them, Fluttershy asked, "um..Rainbow..are you sure you wanna follow them..i mean it's fine if you want to?" Rainbow grinned, "come on Fluttershy, i wanna see if Scootaloo will make a move", she said, following them behind a cloud. With Spike and Scootaloo flying through the air, they were getting hungry, "im getting hungry..what about you", Spike said, turning to her. Scootaloo answered, "yeah, im getting there", they landed on a cloud. Spike looked down, he saw that they were right above Sugercube Corner, he asked, "wanna get something from Sugercube Corner?" Scootaloo nodded as they flew down, when they landed in front of the door, Spike walked in and held it opened, "after you", he bowed like a gentlecolt. Scootaloo blushed and walked in, they walked up to the counter were Pinkie was at, "Spike, Scootaloo..you two on a date", she asked with a grin. Some fillies in the place gave Scootaloo a jealous look, wishing they can be on a date with Spike. The two blushed as Spike said, "Pinkie..this is not a date..we are just hanging out". "We'll take two cupcakes please", Scootaloo ordered. Pinkie nodded saying, "okie dokie lokie, 2 cupcakes coming right up", she went to the back to fix the order. Spike and Scootaloo were sitting in the back talking about how they were flying and other stuff. Pinkie popped up with a tray, "order up..2 cupcakes and a strawberry milkshake", she put the order on the table. Spike looked at her, "Pinkie...we didn't order a milkshake". Pinkie grinned, "i know..dont worry..everythings on the house", she said before hopping back behind the counter. Scootaloo saw that the milkshake had 2 straws, she blushed, "we gonna have to share a milkshake, huh" she asked, then she looked around at all the adult couples sharing milkshakes. Spike shrugged, "i don't mind sharing with you", he said with a cute smile. Scootaloo smiled back and started drinking the milkshake, from outside Diamond Tiara saw them through the window, "how come he's sharing a milkshake with her...a cute colt like him, supposed to be sharing one with me", she groaned and walked away. When they finished, they thanked Pinkie for the milkshake and flew to a cloud. They were laying on the cloud, Scootaloo asked, "so Spike, what's it like being a alicorn?" Spike smiled, "It's great Scootaloo, i never been so happy...no more greed...no more feeling like i don't belong...no more worrying about if i'm gonna hurt somepony because of my greed growth", he looked down. Scootaloo saw this, "Spike?" "I never got the chance to say...i'm sorry Scootaloo...for taking your scooter", he frowned. Scootaloo nuzzled him, "it's ok Spike..i know you didn't mean too". Spike nuzzled her back, "thanks Scootaloo". Scootaloo thought of something, "hey...how you remember all that" she asked. Spike shrugged, "i don't...i saw it in my dream, but i don't remember it". Scootaloo thought about something, then she kissed his cheek, "thank you Spike, for this awesome day". "Aww yeah" She looked around, "did you hear something" she asked. Spike shrugged, "i didn't hear anything", Scootaloo shrugged it off and layed her head on Spike's shoulder. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy was giggling behind a cloud, then they flew away to leave them alone. In another Castle, Cadence was talking to her husband Shining Armour, when she stopped, "Cadence...what's wrong" Shining asked. She grinned, "nothing...nothing is wrong", she told her husband. > Kinda Of A Date > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike woke up in his room, he looked around, "Twilight must of found me sleeping on the cloud with Scootaloo". He said to himself confused, "i'm not use to hanging out with girls my age, but with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle...it feels right for some reason". He shrugged it off and got out of bed, he walked downstairs, "morning Twilight", he said with a smile. "Morning Spike, i made you a daisy sandwich", she said levitating the plate on the table. "Thanks Twi", he said before eating. When he was done, he frowned and looked down, "i'm sorry Twilight, for missing out on my flight lessons". Twilight hugged him with a smile, "it's ok Spike, i understand you wanted to spend some time with Scootaloo", she smirked, "so...how was yesterday". He smiled, "it was great Twi, me and Scootaloo learned how to fly, we went to Sugercube Corner and shared a milkshake, we watched the sunset...and i think we fell asleep on a cloud". Twilight giggled, "hmm...sounds like a date to me". Spike blushed, "it wasn't a date Twi, we just hung out....sure she kissed my cheek and thanked me for helping her fly and spending time with her....but still". Twilight grinned, "so...she kissed you". Spike nodded, "yeah, Apple Bloom did too, after defending her from Diamond Tiara and spending time with her....but they were just thanking me". Twilight giggled at how clueless he was, "you have no idea, do you", she said with a grin. Twilight decided to ask, "Spike...how do you feel about them..do you like them?" "Of course i like them Twi", he shrugged, "anyways, i gonna go to Rarity's to see if Sweetie Belle wants to hang out with me", he walked away and out the Castle. Twilight giggled again, "Spike...your falling in love, and don't even know it". With Spike walking to Rarity's, he said to himself, "where should i take Sweetie Belle", he shrugged, "I'll ask her later". When he got to the boutique, he saw the sigh that said WE ARE OPEN, he walked in and heard a little bell ring, he looked around at all the ponyquins with different dresses, "why does this place look familiar". He got visions of him when he was a dragon, helping Rarity and talking with Sweetie Belle. "Oh yeah, i use to help Rarity...now i remember". He heard Rarity, "hello and welcome to-Spike?" He turned around, "hi Rarity, is Sweetie Belle here", he asked. "She is, let me just call her", she walked to the steps, "Sweetie Belle darling, Spike is here to see you", she called up the stairs. Sweetie Belle came down, Spike saw her and asked, "hi Sweetie Belle, i was wondering if you like to hang out with me today?" Sweetie Belle blushed as Rarity giggled, "you mean like a d-date" she asked. Spike shrugged, "something like that". Sweetie Belle smiled, "i like to hang out with you Spike". They were gonna walk out when Rarity called, "Sweetie Belle, when you get back, tell me everything", she grinned. They were walking through the streets of Ponyville, when Spike asked, "so Sweetie Belle...were do you wanna go today?" Sweetie Belle shrugged, "i ate already so...maybe we can just go for a walk". "Sounds nice", he said with a smile that made her blush. They walked side by side, fillies looked on in jealousy, "her too...how come i don't get to hang out with that cute colt" one wined. A colt with a brown mane and a propeller hat watched in envy, "so..he thinks he can take my Sweetie Belle away huh", he turned and ran to prepare his plan. They walked for awhile, untill they heard someone, "hey you...you think you can take away my Sweetie Belle". They turned around and Sweetie Belle groaned, "Button i told you, i don't like you". Spike asked, "who is that Sweetie Belle?" She glared a the brown colt, "thats Button Mash, he thinks I'm his fillyfriend, but he doesn't know how to take no for an answer", she said through grit teeth. "Sweetie Belle, go out with me..i won't take no for an answer", Button said grabbing Sweetie Belles hoof. Sweetie Belle pulled her hoof away, and got closer to Spike, "Button, im already out with somepony". They walked away, as Button glared at Spike, "game on". Diamond Tiara walked up to him with a smile, "i got a plan to break them up..you can get Sweetie Belle...and i can have Spike, win, win". Button smirked, "tell me the plan", Diamond Tiara smirked and whispered the plan in his ear. Spike and Sweetie Belle were walking on the apple farm, "how about we go sit on top of that hill", Sweetie Belle said, pointing to the said hill. Spike nodded as they walked up the hill, when they got to the top, they saw there was a beautiful view of Ponyville. They sat down on the grass and looked down at Ponyville, Sweetie Belle heard somepony call her, "Sweetie Belle, i came for your love", she groaned and turned around, there she saw Button with Diamond Tiara smirking. Diamond smirked, "Spike, how about you ditch the blank flank and hang out with a cute filly like me", she said batting her eye lashes at him. Sweetie Belle glared at them, "leave Diamond, and Button...i dont like you, ok". Spike stared at Diamond Tiara, "i aint gonna lie Diamond, you are cute and beautiful....but you are more rotton then an apple left out in the sun". Diamond glared at him, "why do you like hanging out with an ugly filly like her, she has no talent, she is a nopony". Spike looked at Sweetie Belle and saw she had tears in her eyes, he glared at Diamond, "i like hanging out with her because she is my friend, and she is more beautiful than you will ever be, inside and out, now both of you leave us alone". When they took off, Spike asked in concern, "hey, are you ok?" Sweetie Belle wrapped her hooves around him and cried, Spike got flash backs of him and Sweetie Belle alone together, when ever she was crying, Spike comfort her by saying things like "you are a somepony" or "you are not ugly". He started to remember all those times Diamond Tiara said things to her like "a colt will never like a ugly filly like you". Spike hugged her and let her cry, "it's ok Sweetie, your not ugly", he said patting her back. Spike thought of something, then he started to sing to her. come stop your crying It'll be alright Just take my hoof Hold it tight I will protect you From all around you I will be hear don't you cry For one so small you seem so strong My arms will hold you Keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be hear don't you cry Sweetie Belle dryed her eyes with a smile, "thank you Spike". Spike smiled at her, "remember Sweetie Belle, you not ugly, you and the rest of the crusaders are beautiful, don't let anypony tell you your not". Sweetie Belle blushed and nuzzled him, he nuzzled back as they watched the sunset together. From behind a tree, Button looked down, "she wants him", he said walking away. After awhile, Spike walked her home, "thank you Spike", she kissed his cheek, "for everything", she said before walking inside. Spike walked home with a smile, "i feel weird...like butterflies in my stomach", he shrugged, "meh...im probably just hungry", he said walking home with a big smile. > A Brother's Advice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The crusaders were in there club house, talking about getting their cutie marks while Spike was at the Castle getting magic lessons. They were disappointed that he couldn't show up. "All right girls, what should we do today....girls?" Apple Bloom said, but they were not listening, they were daydreaming with smiles on there faces. "Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo?" She called them. "Yes Spike?" Sweetie Belle said daydreaming still, then she covered her mouth with a blush. The girls giggled, "you were thinking about Spike, huh", Apple Bloom asked. Sweetie Belle blushed, "n-no i wasn't", she said in denial. "Yes you were", Apple Bloom and Scootaloo said in union giggling. Sweetie Belle sighed, "fine..i was", she said, with a small smile. "But can you blame me, he's so sweet and kind..he even said we were beautiful", she said causing herself and her friends to blush. "He said that", Scootaloo asked trying to control the blush on her face. Sweetie Belle nodded, "i aint gonna lie girls..but i think i like Spike". Scootaloo looked away, "yeah..i think i like Spike too". Apple Bloom stared at them, "so..you girls have a crush on Spike too, huh", she asked. They nodded as Sweetie Belle asked, "but..is it wrong for us to like the same colt?" Scootaloo shrugged, "i don't know, but there are more fillies and mares in Equestria then colts and stallions". "Well..we should talk to our sister's about it", Apple Bloom said, as they nodded and got up to leave. With Spike learning how to teleport, "come on Spike, you can do it", Starlight encouraged him. Spike had his eyes closed, struggling as his horn glowed, then he disappeared in a flash. He appeared in his room, he opened his eyes and smiled, "I did it, I teleported", he said jumping in the air and hovering. He landed and ran down the long hallway, "I did it Starlight, I teleported", he said hugging her. Starlight hugged him with a smile, "you see..told you, you can do it". Spike look up at her, "and you were not wrong", he said with a big smile. Twilight walked in on them hugging, "hey Spike, Shining Armor and Cadence are...whats going on here", she asked. "Hey Twi, Starlight taught me some spells watch", his horn glowed and he teleported behind her, then he started to teleport all over the place. Twilight saw this and panicked, "Spike..slow down..your gonna hurt yourself", she tried to stop him, but Starlight caught him in her magic and levitated him to the ground. "Spike, take it slow next time..ok", Starlight told him with a chuckle. "Ok Starlight", he hugged her, "and thanks, your the best", he let go as a knock was heard. Twilight saw them hugged and felt a little pinge in her heart, but she answered the door, when she did there stood Shining Armor and Cadence with Flurry Heart. She put the feeling in her heart aside and greeted, "Shining Armor, Cadence you made it", she said hugging them. "Hey there Twiley, hows my sister, now..where Spike?" he said walking inside and looking around. Twilight frowned and pointed a hoof to behind her to where Starlight and Spike were talking about him learning more spells. Spike saw Shining Armor and his eyes widen, he got visions of Shining Armor protection him from ponies, whenever they tried hurting him, and him spending time with Shining Armor. "Shining Armor", he cried as he ran to him, hugging him with tears, happy to see his big brother again, Shining Armor hugged him back, tears in the corners of his eyes. Shining was happy that his lil bro was alive and ok. Spike looked up and dried his eyes, "liquid pride Shining". Shining smiled, "liquid pride". Cadence saw the look on Twilights face. "Twilight, are you ok", she asked. Twilight shook her head and answered, "yeah...i'm ok", she said looking at Starlight. Cadence stared at her, then at Starlight, "somethings going on...i'll talk to Twilight about it later". Shining levitated Flurry Heart to Spike, "Spike...this is your cousin/neice Flurry Heart", he said as Spike sat down and held her in his arms. Flurry Heart looked up at Spike giggling, "hey there, I'm Spike..you cousin/uncle", he said looking down at her, he laughed when Flurry Heart grabbed his muzzle. Shining Armor took Flurry back, "hey Spike..i heard that you took three fillies on a date..was it true", he asked with a grin. Spike blushed, "it wasn't a date Shining..we just hung out", he said looking away, then he looked confused, "wait..how you know about..", he looked at Cadence giggling, "you told him huh", Spike asked. "I'm the Princess of love Spike, you should know i can sence when someone is in love..and those fillies are in love with you", she said. Spikes eyes widen, "wait..the crusaders are in love with me", he said, blushing. Twilight giggled and told him, "of course they are Spike, why else would they kiss you". Shining picked him up in a noogy, "thats my little bro..getting the fillies". Spike got out of his grip, "so, they have a crush on me..but is it wrong to like three fillies back". Shining Armor levitated Flurry Heart to Cadence, "if you girls don't mind, me and Spike like to have a talk, brother to brother", he said looking at them. They nodded and walked away to another room, "listen Spike, that's ok, mares and fillies out number colts and stallions, just don't do anything adults do". Spike looked confused, "like what", he asked. Shining scratched the back of his head, looking away, "I'll tell you, when your older". Spike looked down, "oh..so it's ok to have three fillyfriends", he asked. Shining nodded, "just ask them out, but not all three at the same time", he said patting Spikes back. "So, take them on separate dates", Spike asked. Shining nodded again, then he decided to ask, "what did you and the Crusaders do, when you hung out with them one by one?" Spike smiled, "oh, me and AB went for a milkshake at Sugercube Corner, me and Scootaloo learned how to fly, and went flying together and we slepted on a cloud", he said with a smile, remembering his time with the girls. "Wait, wait, wait..you slepted on a cloud with your friend", Shining asked, wondering if he was old enough for that. Spike nodded, "yeah, we were tired and exhausted..so we fell asleep on a cloud". Shining panicked, "i don't think you old enough for that..don't tell Twilight". "Don't tell Twilight what..that me and Scootaloo were tired and exhausted from learning how to fly", he asked confused. Now it was Shining to be confused, "wait..i thought..oh, you were just exhausted from teaching yourselfs how to fly", he said sighing in relief. Spike was confused, but shrugged it off and continued, "Me and Sweetie Belle went for a walk, and watched the sunset on a hill", then he frowned, "but this one filly Diamond Tiara..she wont take no for an answer", he said glaring at the ground. "Yeah..your have those kind of girls chasing you", Shining said rubbing the back of his head, remembering some mares when he was younger wouldn't back off when he was seeing Cadence. Spike looked up, "Shining..have you ever had fillies chasing you before", he asked his big bro. "Is Cadence behind me?" Spike shook his head no, "then yes, when i was younger before i met Cadence..i was popular with the girls..it was nice too, they were asking me to hang out and stuff", he said with a proud smile. Spike looked down, "it was nice hanging out with them", then a smile grew on his face, "it was also nice when they kissed my cheek..it felt right for some reason". Shining chuckled, "thats because you like them back". "It did feel right..so i guess i do like them back", he said with a smile. Spike hugged him, "thanks big brother", he said with a smile. Shining hugged back, "anytime lil bro", he had a smile of his own. Spike let go and walked away, "well..im going to head out see if there around..bye Shining, bye Cadence", he said before leaving. Shining Armor paled and turned to face his wife, she was glaring at him, "Cadence..how long you been standing there", he asked sweating bullets. Her glare, turned into a proud smile, "you are a wonderful brother for giving Spike that kind of advice", she said kissing him. Shining sighed in relief, "i know i am", he said with a smile. Cadence walked away, "oh..and by the way..your sleeping on the couch tonight". Shining jaw dropped, "well played lil bro", he gave a small smile, knowing Spike trolled him. > A Date With Sweetie Belle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days have passed since Shining Armors visited, after the talk his brother gave him, he's been falling for the crusaders more and more, each time they spend time with him. He was looking for Twilight, so he can let her know he was going to be with Sweetie Belle all day, he was planning to go to ask out Sweetie Belle. He was walking in the hall way, then he bumped into Starlight, "hey Starlight, have you see Twilight anywhere", he asked. Starlight shrugged, "she around..face deep in a book or something, why", she asked. "Cause i wanna let her know, that i'm heading to Rarity's", he said with a smile. Starlight smiled at him and asked curiously, "oh, what for?" Spike looked at her, "i gonna ask out Sweetie Belle today", he said with a smile. "How sweet, i heard there was something going on between you and the crusaders", Starlight said with a smirk. Spike looked down with a blush, "yeah". Starlight thought of something, then levitated a small pouch of bits to Spike, "here Spike, treat those girls nice...and think of it, as a reward for your short magic studies". Spike tooked the pouch with his magic, "Starlight..i can't take bits from you", he said looking at her in shook. She shook her head, "think nothing of it Spike, my gift to you", she said with a smile. Spike smiled and hugged her saying, "thank you Starlight, your the best". From around a corner, Twilight was watching them and gritted her teeth, she whispered, "why is she giving Spike magic lessons..im his big sister..not her". Spike broke the hug with Starlight, and said, "i'm heading to Rarity's..bye Starlight", he said, before teleporting out the Castle. Twilight came from around the corner and walked pass Starlight, "oh, Twilight there you are, Spike just left to Rarity's", she told her teacher/friend. Twilight turned to face her with a fake smile, "oh..well, when he gets back, I'm gonna teach him a few defensive spells because I'M his big sister", she said walking away. Starlight stared at her confused, "ok...what was that about, she has been acting weird for a few days, since i taught Spike some spells", she said to herself, she shrugged it off and continue to do, what ever she was doing. Spike appeared outside the Castle, he looked around, "i guess my aim was off", he shrugged, "guess i'll walk", he said, walking to the Boutique. When he got there, he noticed the sign that said WE ARE OPEN, he walked in and heard Rarity say, "I'll be with you in a minute", he sat down and wait. After a while, Rarity showed up and saw Spike, "oh, Spike darling, what can i do for you", she asked with a smile. "Hi Rarity, is Sweetie Belle here", he asked with a smile. Rarity nodded and called her down, "Sweetie Belle, Spike is here to see you". When she came down, Spike blushed and asked, "hi Sweetie Belle, i-i was wondering if you like to go on a d-date with me?" Sweetie Belle blushed with a small smile, "sure Spike, i'll like to go on a date with you", she said looking down. Spike smiled, "great, we can go right now...i mean if you want to". They heard a thud, and saw that Rarity fainted on her fainting couch, with a big smile. Sweetie Belle shook her head and answered, "sure Spike, we can go right now", she said with a smile as they walked out, leaving Rarity on her fainting couch. They were walking through the streets of Ponyville, when Spike asked with a smile, "ok Sweetie Belle..where do you wanna go for our date?" Sweetie Belle smiled saying, "we can go to Sugercube Corner". Spike smiled back at her, "sounds nice". As they walked to the said place, Sweetie Belle was thinking, "i'm on a date with Spike..maybe we can share a milkshake together", she blushed and smiled at the idea. When they got to the place, Spike held the door open for Sweetie Belle like a gentlecolt. When they walked in, Pinkie popped out of nowhere, scaring them as Spike jumped in front of Sweetie Belle, and grabbed Pinkie with his magic, everypony saw what happened and "awwed" at how Spike jumped in front of Sweetie Belle to protect her. Pinkie was upside down with a smile, like she was use to it, "Pinkie, why did you do that..i could have hurt you", Spike said putting her down. "But you didn't...anyways since you two are on a date, what can i get you", she said with a grin, leading them to a table, pulling out a note pad out of her mane as she burped out a pencil. They stared at her like she was crazy, wondering how she knew they were on a date, and where the pencil came from. They decided to shrugg it off, knowing to never question Pinkie. "We'll take two cupcakes and a strawberry milkshake please", Spike order with a smile. Pinkie nodded and wrote down the order, and went behind the counter to fix the order. They sat in a awkward silence, Spike told her, "i'm not really good at dating". Sweetie Belle looked away, "yeah...me neither". Pinkie appeared with there order, "here you go guys", she grinned, "enjoy you two love birds", she said disappearing back behind the counter. Sweetie Belle thought of something, "Spike...why did you jump in front of me when Pinkie popped up", she asked curiously. Spike scratched the back of his head, "oh...i thought somepony was gonna hurt you..so i guess i wanted to protect you", he said with a blush. Sweetie Belle blushed, "no colt has ever done that for me before, he must like me back", she said with a smile. They ate their cupcakes and started drinking the milkshake, "I'll be right back Spike, gotta use the little fillies room", she said getting up and walked to the restroom. What they didn't know, was they were being watched by Diamond Tiara, from outside, when Sweetie Belle got up to leave, Diamond made her move. She walked in the building, and up to Spike, "oh..hello Spike, i didn't know you were here", she said with a fake smile as she sat in Sweetie Belle place. Spike stared at her, "Diamond, me and Sweetie Belle are on a date...so can you please leave", he said with a glare. Diamond looked around, "hmm, i don't see her anywhere, do you?" Spike groaned and asked, "Diamond, why are you here?" "Relax Spike, i just wanna talk..so what is it you like about those three talentless blank flank losers", she said with a smile. Spike gritted his teeth, "Diamond...don't call them talentless losers", he said getting angry. She didn't listen and drank the milkshake, "i'll leave, once you answer this question...so you really think i'm cute and beautiful", she said with a smile. Spike groaned, "yes Diamond, i think your cute and beautiful, now can you leave so i can continue my date with Sweetie Belle", he told her with a glare. Diamond smirked, and got up to sit closer to Spike, "thats all i wanted to know", she leaned in trying to kiss him on the lips. At that time, Sweetie Belle came out of the fillies room and saw Diamond leaning towards Spike, she felt her heart break and was gonna leave, when she heard Spike. She turned and saw him fly over the table, and land on the ground saying, "Diamond, i will never kiss you..i rather kiss the crusaders then kiss you", he said glaring at her. Sweetie Belle blushed with a smile from what he said, "he rather kiss me and the girls then Diamond, she stared at Spike with a dreamy smile. Diamond saw Sweetie Belle, and smirked, "how about this...i challenge you to a singing competition, and if i win, Spike has to go out with me and be my coltfriend". Spike glared, "and if Sweetie Belle wins?" Diamond turned to Spike, "then I'll leave you and the crusaders alone for good". They thought about it, then accepted the challenge, "your on", they said in union. When Diamond walked out, Sweetie Belle started to panick, "what was i thinking, i can't sing Spike", she said with a frown. Spike looked her in the eyes, "yes you can Sweetie Belle, if Scootaloo can fly, then you can sing", he said with a smile. Sweetie Belle blushed and calmed down, "you really think i can sing". Spike smiled at her, "i know you can sing", he smirked, "besides i gotta plan". Later on, a stage was built and ponies all over town showed up to watch the show, Sweetie Belle was in full panick mode, "i can't do this Spike, i can't sing in front of a live audience", she said pacing back and forth. Spike tried to calm her down, as Diamond finished singing her song, she walked backstage passing them saying, "good luck loser", then she winked at Spike, "and I'll see you soon, future coltfriend". Sweetie Belle was called to the stage, she was pacing, "i can't do this Spike, it was a stupid idea", she said ready to cry. Spike looked into her eyes "do you trust me", he said with a smile. Sweetie Belle looked at him confused "what?" Spike held out a hoof to her and asked again, "do you trust me?" "Yes Spike, i trust you", she said calming down and taking his hoof, Spike pulled her on the stage with him, he turned to ponies holding instruments as he nodded and they started playing a song. Spike started to sing to Sweetie Belle. i can show you the world Shining shimmering splendid Tell me Sweetie Belle now when did You last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes take you wonder by wonder Over sideways and under On a magic cloud ride A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No pony to tell us no Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming Sweetie Belle stared at him then started singing herself. a whole new world A dazzling place i never knew But when i'm way up here It's crystal clear That now i'm in a whole new world with you They got closer to each other as ponies looked on with smiles of how beautiful the song is and how beautiful Sweetie Belle can sing. now im in a whole new world with you unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring tumbling freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes) They started to get into the music. A hundred thousand things to see (hold your breath it gets better) i'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't go back to where i used to be (a whole new world) every turn a surprise (with new horizon to pursue) every moment red-letter They got close and stared into each other's eyes. I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you a whole new world (a whole new world) thats where we'll be (thats where we'll be) a thrilling chase a wondrous place They nuzzled each other. for you and me When they were done, ponies cheered for them as Spike gave Sweetie Belle a smile, "you see, you can sing". Diamond came running from the back, "you cheated", she said angry. Spike smirked, "sorry Diamond, you didn't say it has to be a solo". She turned and ran away angry as they laughed. A flash was seen as Sweetie Belle turned her head and saw a cutie mark on her flank, it was a pink heart with several music notes around it. She gasped, "i-i got my cutie mark", she started jumping around, "i got my cutie mark", she said very excitedly. "Congratulations Sweetie Belle", Spike said with a smile, then without warning she pounced on him. "Thank you Spike, thank you, thank you, thank you", she said kissing his cheek. Spike was blushing, from the kisses Sweetie Belle was giving him. Everypony cheered as the Main 6 came from the crowd, "oh Sweetie Belle, i'm so proud of you", Rarity hugged and told her little sister with a smile. Sweetie Belle smiled, "thanks Rarity", she turned to Spike, "and Spike?" He turned to her, "yes Swee-hmpff", he felt Sweetie Belles soft lips on his. He was surprised, but closed his eyes. "I couldn't have done it without you", she said with a smile and a blush. Spike was blushing, but shook it off and asked, "Sweetie Belle, will you be my fillyfriend?" Sweetie Belle smiled with joy, "i like that very much", she said nuzzling him. Spike thought of something, "hey, does this mean your not a crusader no more", he asked. Sweetie Belle relised this, and looked down, "oh yeah, guess i'm not a crusader no more". Apple Bloom and Scootaloo came from the crowd, "you are still a crusader Sweetie Belle, always will be", Apple Bloom told her as Scootaloo agreed. Sweetie Belle smiled at them, "thanks girls...oh and Spike is my new coltfriend", she said nuzzling him. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at them in envy, but pushed it aside and congratulated their friend. Sweetie Belle told her friends, "let's not have a cute-ceañera or mark mitzvah till we all get our cutie marks, deal", she said looking at her friends and new coltfriend with a smile. They smiled and said, "deal", as they did a 4 way high hoof, and Spike and Sweetie Belle continued their date. When the sun was setting, Spike walked Sweetie Belle home, "i really had a great time Spike", she said smiling at him. Spike smiled back, "me too Sweetie", he said, as they stared into each other's eyes. Then Spike leaned in and kissed Sweetie Belle on the lips, she was surprised then closed her eyes. Rarity opened the door and saw them, she squealed in delight, then fainted. Spike asked looking down at Rarity, "is she gonna be ok?" Sweetie Belle shrugged, then turned back to Spike, she kissed him again, "i love you Spike, bye", she said dragging Raritys unconscious body inside. Spike smiled "i love you too Sweetie Belle", he turned and walked home. As he was walking home, he said to himself, "1 down 2 to go, maybe Scootaloo will go out with me". He walked home with a smile, happy to know he's finding something he couldn't find as a dragon...love. > Dark Flash Backs > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few days have passed since Spike and Sweetie Belle became a couple, and the Grand Galloping Gala was coming up, and he was planning to ask Scootaloo if she wanted to go with him, but first he needed a tux. Spike was walking to Rarity's, saying to himself, "ok, how am i gonna ask Scootaloo to be my date to the Gala", he said with a smile. When he got the Boutique, he walked in, "I'll be right there in a minute", he heard Rarity, so he sat and waited. Rarity came from a different room and saw Spike, "Spike darling, you here to see your fillyfriend", she said with a grin. "No Rarity, i'm here cause i need a tux for the upcoming Gala", he said with a smile. Rarity smiled, "oh, so you want me to take your measurements darling". Spike nodded, then Rarity told him, "ok Spike, would you be a dear and help me like old times", she said with a smile, remembering when he use to help her out before he disappeared. Spike smiled, "sure Rarity". After taking his measurements, Rarity started making the tux with Spikes help, "Spike, can you get me a green ribbon please", she said measuring the tux. She got no answer, "Spike, its rude to keep a lady waiting", she said, waiting for an answer, but didn't get one. She use her magic to take the red glasses off her muzzle, and folded them. She turned around, "Spike, whats taking.." She stopped mid sentence, when she saw Spike looking in a drawer, he was breathing heavely, like he was going to have a panic attack. Rarity stared at him concerned, "Spike darling, are you alright", she said walking closer to him. Sweetie Belle came from downstairs at the time, and saw Spike, "hi Spike, whatcha.." She stopped when she saw the look on his face, his eyes were wide with tears, and breathing heavely, "whats wrong Spike", she asked her coltfriend, concerned. Rarity saw what he was looking at, it was the heart shape ruby Spike gave to her on his 10th birthday, it had a golden necklace around it. Rarity's eyes widen, "Sweetie Belle, go get Twilight and the others", she said trying to calm Spike down. Sweetie Belle nodded and ran out to get Twilight and her friends, Rarity stood with Spike. Spike was staring at the ruby, muttering, "i didn't mean to, i'm sorry", over and over, as Rarity held him in a hug. Spike was having visions of himself when he was a dragon, he was destroying everything in his greed growth, he saw himself holding Rarity in his tail as she screamed for help, to the time when he almost hurt Rainbow Dash and his big sister Fluttershy. Rarity was trying to calm him down, "Spikey-Wikey, listen to me, it wasn't your fault", she said stroking his mane. The visions ended as he came to his sences, Spike looked up at Rarity holding him, he got out of her hold and backed up from her in tears, "R-Rarity, i-i didn't mean to hurt you, i didn't mean to hurt anypony", he said before running out the Boutique in tears. Rarity tried to stop him, "Spikey-Wikey, please listen to me", she said concerned for him, but he was already gone. With Sweetie Belle, she was running to Twilight's Castle, "I wonder what is wrong with Spike", she thought in concerned for her coltfriend. Spike was running through Ponyville in tears, scared and remembering the looks ponies gave him after the greed growth was over. He ran past ponies that looked at him in concerned, Pinkie Pie saw him running and asked in concerned, "Spike, what's the matter?" Spike stopped and looked at her, he started to remember him taking things from her, and her throwing cake at him, he backed away and muttered, "I'm sorry Pinkie", and took off running. He saw Sugercube Corner and his eyes widen, he had a vision of him destroying the Cakes homes, Mrs Cake saw him through the window and waved a hoof with a smile, Spike saw her and muttered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to". He took off running outside of Ponyville in tears, he didn't care where he went , he just wanted to get away from everything. Hours later. The Main 6, Starlight and the cmc were looking for Spike, soon they got the whole town involved. "Spike, where are you....please answer me!", Twilight yelled, checking everywhere, concerned and scared that she might lose him again. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were checking the sky and clouds, "Spike...please answer us...we want to help you", Fluttershy called, scared that she might lose her little brother. "Spike, come on little buddy...we just want to see if your ok", Rainbow Dash called in concern, flying around. "Spike...please come back", Sweetie Belle called, as she checked every corner of the town, she was worried about her coltfriend. With Spike, he was hiding behind a bush just outside Ponyville, he was crying and curled up into a ball, thinking about how he nearly destroyed Ponyville and hurt the ponies he cared about. He heard somepony say, "hey i found him, over here", he looked up and saw Rainbow Dash flying above him. Rainbow Dash was looking down at him in concern, soon Fluttershy came flying by next to Rainbow, she flew down and hugged Spike, as he cried into her chest. "Spike...why would you run away", she said hugging him. Spike didn't say anything, he just cried into his sister's chest, Fluttershy carried him back into Ponyville. Fluttershy landed in the middle of Ponyville, with Spike in her arms, everypony saw him crying into Fluttershy, and stared at him concerned. After what felt like hours, Spike calmed down, "i didn't mean to hurt Rarity, i didn't mean to hurt anypony", he cried. "What do you mean Spike", Fluttershy asked as she held him. "I saw visions of myself as a dragon from two years ago, i didn't know i nearly destroyed Ponyville, or almost hurts ponies", he cried holding Fluttershy. "I'm sorry everypony", he sobbed. Everypony understood now, he remembered his greed growth, ponies looked on at how hurt he was from remembering it, knowing he hated being a dragon. Mr and Mrs Cake walked up to him and said in union, "we forgive you Spike". Some ponies walked up to him saying they forgive him for destroying their homes or business. Rainbow Dash flew up to him, "i forgive you squirt", she said hugging him. Fluttershy was still holding Spike, he looked up to her, "Fluttershy, can i stay with you tonight", he said still hurt about what happened. "Of course Spike, you are my little brother after all", she said hugging him. She looked to Twilight, "umm...if that's ok with you", she said hiding behind her mane. Twilight smiled, "he can Fluttershy...just take care and watch over him", she said looking at Spike. After Fluttershy took Spike home, they ate dinner and talked for awhile, Spike was still hurting from earlier. Spike remembered Fluttershy's cottage, he remembered all the times he helped her feed the animals, and drank some tea with her. When it was time for bed, Spike asked looking down, "Fluttershy, can i sleep with you tonight?" Fluttershy smiled and answered, "of course you can". They went to bed as Fluttershy held Spike close, he felt fresh tears rolled down his cheek, "Fluttershy, i just wanna say I'm sorry, i didn't mean to hurt you", he sobbed a little. Fluttershy kissed his head, "it's ok Spike, i know you didn't mean to", she said hugging him close. Spike looked up at her, "thanks Fluttershy....i love you big sis", he said before yawning and falling asleep. Fluttershy smiled and looked down at him, she kissed his head, "i love you too Spike, my little brother", she said before falling asleep herself. Spikes eyes shot opened, he looked around and saw he was in another dark void, he noticed he was floating, "hello", he called, "is anypony here". His eye's widen when he heard a deep growl, he saw a giant green head with red eyes staring at him. > Dark Flash Back Part 2 Dark Dreams Return > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The giant green head stared at Spike, baring its big sharp teeth, Spike tried to get away, but couldn't, he even tried blasting it with magic, but couldn't. "Who are you", Spike asked scared, trying to fly away. The giant green head spoke in a deep voice, "who do you think i am", it said as it came closer, revealing itself to be a giant green and purple dragon. "Why do you look like me, back when i was a dragon and had a greed growth", Spike asked wide eyed staring up at it. "Cause i am you, the monster inside of you", it said growling. "Don't tell me you don't remember me", it said glaring at Spike with its red eyes. A flash nearly blinded Spike, as the scene changed to a destroyed Equestria, Spikes eyes widen, "no....no..no..not this again please", he begged, not wanting to remember all those nightmares he had years ago". He saw the dragon rampaging through a destroyed Ponyville, burning everything in its path. Spike looked on in tears, "STOP! PLEASE!", he cried. Hiding in a shadow, was Princess Luna, "Spike..be strong dearest nephew", she whispered, wishing she can go hug her nephew and tell him it's alright. Luna then looked on at the scene, "Spike..you need to know, that your not a monster, or a dragon no more". The dragon appeared in front of Spike again, "you see, this is your destiny...was your destiny anyways", the dragon looked away. Spike tried to be brave, "i'm not a dragon no more, i am a pony..a alicorn" he said glaring at the dragon with tears in his eyes. The dragon smirked, "do you really think that gonna stop me from haunting you", it asked. The dragon grinned, then started to transform into Spike, but a taller version of him, with red evil looking eyes. Spike backed away in tears, "get away from me", he said trying to fire a magic bolt that Starlight taught him. He finally did, but it did nothing, the dark alicorn laughed but it sounded evil, "that tickled, do it again". Spike backed away and ran, he heard the dark alicorn say, "you think you can run from your past and future". The alicorn gave chase to the poor colt, laughing while he ran, "face it Spike, you are a monster", it said mocking him. Spike ran and ran, "i'm not a monster", Spike said while running. He stopped a looked behind him, and saw the alicorn was gone, he looked around for it, then saw it was blasting everything in a destroyed Ponyville, "no...please", he whispered with tears as he ran to the town. He saw ponies dead everywhere, and cried while looking around, "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to", he said sobbing. His eyes widen when he heard somepony say, "you think you can fit right in, now that your a pony", Spike saw a dead pony talking. "You think you can hide from what you did as a dragon in your greed growth", the talking dead pony said. "When you get bigger, your probably get power hungry and destroy us all", another dead pony said. Spike backed away from it, then tripped over something, he saw it was the older version of the cmc and the Main 6 without Twilight and Fluttershy. "no...no...everypony..im sorry", he said looking at his dead friend in tears. "Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom", he sobbed for the fillies he loved. He ran from the scene, only for it to change to a destroyed Canterlot, "why am i here", he said looking around at all the destroyed buildings. The dark alicorn appeared again, but he was destroying everything in Canterlot, "Spike..my son..don't make me do this", he heard sompony say, he turned to a destroyed Castle and saw his family, and older version of Flurry Heart, they where ready to fight. "Hello mother, father...i see you brought the rest of the family to die with you", the dark alicorn said with a evil grin. "Spike, why are doing this", he heard Cadence say. "If i can't rule everything like a king, then i shall destroy everything..and i will destroy anypony that stands in my way", he said ready to fight, and giving a evil grin. "Uncle Spike, please...don't do this, i don't wanna fight you", Flurry Heart said, letting a few tears fall. The dark alicorn turned to her, "I'll kill you last", he said giving an evil smile. "Dearest nephew..stop, please, we don't want to hurt you", he heard Luna say in a sad voice. "Too late for that Luna, i am more powerful then Nightmare Moon", he said with a evil laugh. "Spike, listen to us, you gotta calm down, i don't wanna fight my cousin", Cadence said in a hurt voice. "Princess of love, pathetic....love aint gonna save you this time", he said glaring at Cadence. "Please my son..i don't wanna hurt you", he saw his mom in tears, ready to fight. "Too bad mother, cause i ain't afraid to hurt you", he said firing a spell at her, but she protected herself and her family with a shield. "Spike please, don't make me fight you, your my son", he saw Discord as a draconequus, ready to use his chaos magic. "My magic is more powerful then your chaos dad", he said the last part in disgust, before firing a magic bolt at him, but Celestia protected her husband with a shield. Spike looked on at the commosion in tears, "stop it..don't hurt my family", he said in a hurt voice. "Spike...i don't wanna fight you...please...your my brother", Twilight said crying and ready to fight if she has to. The dark alicorn looked at her, "I'll give you one chance, i want you to rule with me, as brother and sister..we can destroy anypony that stands in our way", he said with a smirk. Twilight shook her head, "no Spike, i will not rule with you, this is wrong and you know it..just stop Spike, please", she said in a hurt voice. The dark alicorn glared and gritted his teeth, "then you will die with everypony else", he was gonna shoot her with a magic bolt, when he heard crying. There he saw his sister Fluttershy, "Spike...why you wanna hurt us...don't you love us, don't you love mom, dad and Twilight...don't you love me Spike, i'm your sister", she cried. "Spike, you gotta stop..i don't wanna fight my own brother", Shining Armour said ready to fight if he has to. With Spike, he saw Fluttershy crying, "please..don't hurt them..please", he cried, wishing he can do something, but can't. The evil alicorn didn't listen and attacked the Princesses and prince, Spike looked away so he doesn't see what happened. Another flash was seen as the scene changed to a completely destroyed Canterlote and Castle, with the evil alicorn standing tall and blasting everything away. Spike's eyes widen and ran to the scene, there he saw his family dead on the floor. He slowly walked up to his parents, "mom, dad..come on, you gotta get up", he said trying to pick them up, but couldn't. He felt tears in his eyes and ran to Twilights body, "Twilight..we gotta go home", he said shaking her with both his hooves. He ran to Luna, and pulled on her ear, but she didn't move, he backed away and looked around at everything that is destroyed, scared and don't know what to do. Princess Luna saw him from a distance and fought back tears, she wished she can go down to him and hug her nephew, telling him it's not real, its only a dream. He ran in a random direction, "help!", he said looking in random directions. "Somepony...anypony...help", he sobbed as he looked back at his dead family. Discord layed dead holding his dead wife, like he tried to protect her from a blast. He walked back and put himself between his parents, layed down and cried, nuzzling his mom and dad. Princess Luna let a few tears fall as she looked at Spike, she gritted her teeth, "it's only a dream dear nephew", she whispered, keeping herself hidden knowing that he has to face these nightmares alone. With a heart broken Spike, he saw the evil alicorn walked up to him, "Spike, what have you done", it said, giving him a stern glare. Spike jumped up, "i didn't mean for any of this to happen", he said backing up. "You killed the Princess Spike, you killed your family", the evil alicorn laughed. Princess Luna had enough and interfered with Spikes dream, walking through the evil alicorn as it disappeared, she hugged Spike as he cried into her chest, "there, there nephew, its ok...it was only a horrible nightmare", she said stroking his mane. "It felt so real aunt Luna, i really thought i killed you guys", he cried, soaking Lunas fur. "Spike, you can't let what happened in the past effects your future", she said still holding him. Spike looked up at her with tears, "but what if it does come true, what if i do become evil", he said crying again. Luna thought of something, "my dear nephew, let me tell you a story you don't remember", she said putting him down as the scene changed. > Letting Go Of The Past > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike and Princess Luna appeared in a throne room, "where are we aunt Luna", Spike asked looking around. "We are in Canterlot Spike", Luna said walking down a big hallway. On the stain glass widows, images started to play as Spike and Luna walked down the hallway. Spike was looking at them, he saw a black alicorn with a dark blue mane and tail, and blue armour, fighting a white alicorn with a pink mane and tail. Spike recognised the white alicorn, "is that mom, why is she attacking my mom", Spike asked glaring at it. Luna looked down, "thats me Spike, 1000 year's ago", Luna said with a frown. Spike looked at her in shock, "how is that you aunt Luna, you will never hurt mom", he said. Luna sat down saying, "sit down Spike, so i can can tell you this story". Spike did what he was told, and sat across from her, "1000 year's ago Spike, i became something horrible, because of my jealousy and hungry for power", she said looking down. Spike asked confused, "who did you become aunt Luna". "I became Nightmare Moon", she said getting teary eyed. "Nightmare Moon", Spike said confused, before he got a small vision of him and Twilight, when they first came to Ponyville, Nightmare Moon telling all of Ponyville that she locked away Princess Celestia and tried to bring enternal night. "Now i remember, she locked away mom and tried to bring enternal night, but Twilight and her friends stopped her with the elements of harmony", he said with a frown. Luna nodded, "thats right Spike, and i became her because i was jealous that our loyal subjects loved my sister's mornings then my night's", she said watching the battle on the stain glass window. "But it wasn't only jealousy dear nephew, it was also that i wanted to rule all as Queen", she said with a frown. Spike looked at the battle, and saw how his mom defeat Nightmare Moon, "so thats how her mane got like that", Spike asked looking at Celestia's mane change from pink to a rainbow like mane. Then he saw his mom looking at the moon, then he saw how hurt she was for banishing her only sister to the moon for 1000 year's, Spike looked on at his mother crying for what she's done. "She hated what she's done huh", Spike asked letting a few tears drop, watching his mom in pain. Luna was watching too, and let a few tears drop herself, "thats right, after i became myself again, i asked Celestia for forgiveness, and she accepted", she said in a hurt voice. Spike got up, and walked up to her, "i forgive you auntie, i know you didn't mean to hurt anypony", he said hugging her. Luna smiled and hugged him back, "thank you, my dear nephew". She broke the hug, "thats why you shouldn't let your past, despite who you are now Spike, i know you won't make the same mistake i did 1000 years ago". "You need to know dear nephew, that you are Spike the alicorn, no longer Spike the dragon", she said with a smile. Spike smiled at her saying, "your right auntie, I'm no longer Spike the dragon", he puffed his chest out, "I'm Spike the alicorn, future Prince of Equestria", he said with a smirk. Luna giggled at his claim, "careful dear nephew, keep that up and fillies will chase you", she said with a smirk. Spike blushed, "auntie", he wined. Luna continued to tease, "i heard from a little birdie, that you have a fillyfriend already", she said with a smirk. Spike looked up at her surprised, "who told you, it was Cadence huh", he said with a blush. Luna nodded with a smirk as Spike groaned, "i forgot she can sence love", he said annoyed. Everything started to change again, but not before Spike hugged Luna, "thank you aunt Luna, for helping me with this problem, i love you", he said before everything went black. It was morning already, Spike slowly opened his eye's and noticed that he was in Fluttershy arms, he saw that her fur was soaked and looked at it confused. Fluttershy woke and saw that Spike was awake, "morning Spike", she said with a smile, then she frowned, "Spike, why were you crying in your sleep", she said looking at him concerned. Spike looked down, "i had a nightmare that i destroyed all of Equestria, and i was a evil alicorn that wanted to rule as a king, and i killed..mom, dad, Twilight, you and everypony else", he said looking like he wanted to cry. Fluttershy hugged him, "it's ok Spike, i know you wouldn't hurt me or the rest of the family", she said trying to comfort him. Spike hugged her back, "thanks big sis", he said with a smile. He broke the hug, "aunt Luna came to me and helped me with it, I'm no longer Spike the dragon Fluttershy, i'm Spike the alicorn, future Prince of Equestria", he said with a big smile. Fluttershy giggled, "come on Spike, lets eat breakfast", she said getting out of bed, and walking out the room with him. While they where eating, Spike decided to asked something that was bugging him, "hey Fluttershy, since your my sister and since mom and dad are the Princess and Prince of Equestria, does that make you a Princess as well", he asked confused. Fluttershy looked away, "it does Spike, but i don't want the title because i don't want to be treated differently because mom is the Princess, i just wanna be me". Spike continued to eat, "what about the stallions, have they tried asking you out because your a Princess", he said with wonder. Fluttershy blushed, "umm...sometimes...but i kindly told them no", she said blushing remembering some stallions tried to ask her out, some keeped their distance do to her father being the god of chaos. After they ate, Spike was gonna walk out and fly home, "thanks Fluttershy, for letting me stay here last night", he said hugging her. Fluttershy hugged him back, "your welcome Spike, and i wanna let you know that this is your home too", she said with a smile. Spike broke the hug, and walked out saying, "love ya big sis", then he stretched his wings and flew to the Castle. Fluttershy stood there with a smile, "love you too little brother", she said before walking away to feeding her animals. Spike was flying home, gliding through the sky with a big smile, he looked down and saw the crusaders walking, he flew down and landed next to Scootaloo. "Hey girls, what are you up to", he said with a smile as they turned to him. "Spike, are you feeling any better", Sweetie Belle asked her coltfriend concerned. Spike walked over and nuzzled her, "i am Sweetie, thanks for asking..anyways where are you girls going". "We are going to Sugercube Corner, wanna come", Sweetie Belle asked with a smile. Spike scratched the back of his head, "i was going to go home to let Twilight know i'm ok now", he said looking away. "Come on Spike..pleeeease", he heard them say, and saw them giving him puppy eyes with a pout. He looked away, "i don't know, i really need to let Twilight know i'm feeling better". Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo nuzzled him from both sides of his face, and Apple Bloom nuzzled him under his chin, "pleeeease Spike..for us", they said in union. Spike had a blush on his face and broke, "fine..ill join you girls", he said with a small smile. They cheered and started walking to Sugercube Corner. When they got there, Spike held the door opened for them as they walked in first. Pinkie popped up out of nowhere, scaring them and Spike didn't grab her with his magic this time. "Hey girls and Spike, what can i get you four", she said with a smile, as she lead them to a table. "We'll take 3 cupcakes and 4 milkshakes", Spike ordered with a smile. The crusaders looked at him, "Spike, you don't have to do that", Sweetie Belle said. Spike smiled and shook his head, "its ok girls, i wanna do it cause your my friend, plus ain't that what gentle colts do with ladies", he said making them blush. Pinkie grinned, "ain't that sweet, being a gentle colt for your 3 fillyfriends", she said writing down the order before going behind the counter to fix it. All four blushed at what she said, but shook it off, they sat down and started talking, after a while Spike remembered, "hey Sweetie Belle, did Rarity finished making my tux", he asked. Sweetie Belle smiled, "yeah, she did Spike". Spike took a quick glace at Scootaloo, "good", he said with a smile. Pinkie came back with the order, "enjoy you guys", she said with a smile, hopping back behind the counter. Apple Bloom smiled at Spike, "we are glad you feeling better Spike, after what happened yesterday". Spike smiled back, "me too AB, my aunt Luna came to me in my dream last night, and help me remind myself that i'm no longer Spike the dragon, but Spike the alicorn, future Prince of Equestria", he puffed his chest out. Sweetie Belle blushed, "and since your my coltfriend, does that make me future Princess of Equestria", she said with a smile. Spike shrugged, "i don't know, i gotta talk to my mom about that", he said with a small blush. After they finished eating and drinking their milkshakes, Spike asked, "hey Scootaloo, can i talk to you later, alone", he said turning to her with a smile. She smiled back, "sure Spike". Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went home, leaving Spike and Scootaloo alone, they walked out of Sugercube Corner and flew to a cloud, "ok Spike, what do you want to talk to me about", she asked with a smile. Spike looked down, "you know the Grand Galloping Gala is tomorrow right", he said with a small blush. With Twilight, she was wondering why Spike wasn't at the Castle yet, "where is he, why hasn't he come home yet", she said pacing back and forth. "Relax Twilight, he's fine, you taught him how to defend himself", she said to herself as she stopped. She started pacing again, "but what if he got hurt, or lost, or worst", she panicked, "thats it, i'm going to Fluttershy's to check if he's there", she said opening the giant twin doors and flying to Fluttershy's cottage. When she got there, she knocked on the door, "Fluttershy, its Twilight". The door opened as Fluttershy poked her head out, "oh hello Twilight", she said with a smile. "Hi Fluttershy, is Spike still here", she said with a smile. Fluttershy shook her head, "no, he left this morning, i thought he flew to the Castle", she said confused. Twilight became worried, "he is not at the Castle yet, i thought he was still here", she said pacing back and forth. Fluttershy became worried too, "where could he be", she said wondering where her little brother is at. "Come on Fluttershy, lets look for him", Twilight said flying away with Fluttershy behind her. They were looking for him, as they called him name, "Spike, where are you", Twilight called. Fluttershy was calling his name too, "Spike, its Fluttershy, where are you". They bumped into Rainbow Dash, "hey, you girls looking for Spike", she said with a smile. Twilight looked at her with a hopeful smile, "yes, have you seen him", she said flying up to Rainbows face. Rainbow backed up, "relax egghead, i seen him with the crusaders at Sugercube Corner", she said with a smirk. They flew to the building, but didn't see them, "Rainbow Dash, you said he was here", Twilight said, glaring at her friend. Rainbow was gonna say something when they heard somepony say, "of course i be your date Spike", they heard it from a cloud and flew to it. They gasped at what they saw, "oh..my", Fluttershy said blushing covering her mouth with both hooves. Twilight was confused by it and didn't know what to say. Rainbow Dash was grinning, thinking "way to go Scootaloo". What they saw was Scootaloo kissing Spike on the lips as she hugged him, "I'm so glad you asked me", she said breaking the hug and kiss with a blush and smile. Spike had a blush of his own, but blushed in embarrassment, when he saw Rainbow Dash and his sister's looking at them. > Twilights Fear > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike and Scootaloo were blushing, looking at the 3 ponies that found them, Rainbow Dash was still grinning and Twilight was still confused. "Spike, why was Scootaloo kissing you", Twilight asked confused. He looked down, "i asked her if she will go with me to the Gala tomorrow as my date", he said still blushing. "And i said yes", Scootaloo said still blushing. "Atta girl Scootaloo", Rainbow cheered for her adopted sister. Scootaloo smiled, as Twilight glared at Rainbow Dash, "what..she's my sister..i'm gonna teach her about colts", she said with a raised eyebrow. Twilight shook her head, "come one Spike, let's go home", she said flying towards the castle. Spike was gonna fly after her, but turned to Scootaloo with a blush and kissed her back on the lips, "bye Scootaloo, I'll pick you up tomorrow", he said flying away. Scootaloo stared at Spike flying away with a blush and smile, "see you Spike", she turned and saw a grinning Rainbow Dash and a blushing giggling Fluttershy. "Wait till mom and dad hears about this", Rainbow said still grinning. Scootaloo blushed, thinking about the talk her mom with give her, "I'll fly home Rainbow, so i can get ready tomorrow", she said flying home. With Spike and Twilight at the Castle, Spike asked with his head down, "are you mad at me Twilight?" Twilight smiled and hugged him, "no, i'm not Spike". Spike hugged her back with a smile, after a while Twilight broke the hug, "i thought you liked Sweetie Belle, Spike", she asked with a grin. Spike blushed, "i do, but i like Scootaloo and Apple Bloom also". Twilight gave a small glare, "so your gonna start a harem", she told her little brother. Spike looked confused, "what's a harem", he asked. Twilight looked away, "I'll tell you when your older..anyways let me get dinner started, then its off to bed", she said with a smile. After they ate dinner, they started talking, "so Spike, how are you feeling after the bad memories", Twilight asked concerned. Spike looked down, "i had a nightmare Twi, that i saw myself as a big dragon destroying everything, and then a evil alicorn", he said with a frown. Twilight stared at her little brother concerned, "a evil alicorn, why", she asked. Spike felt tears in his eyes, "i wanted to rule as a evil King, you, my mom, dad, Cadence and rest of the family tried to stop me and talk to me, but i wouldn't listen, and i killed you guys", he said letting tears fall. Twilight hugged him, "that will never happen Spike", she said with a frown. Spike looked up at her, "Twilight, promise me that i won't turn evil", he said with tears in his eyes. Twilight got teary eyed, "Spike, you will never become evil", she said looking down at him. Spike smiled, "thanks big sis, i love you Twilight", he said with a yawn, feeling tired. Twilight let a few happy tears fall, "your welcome little bro, and i love you too Spike", she said with a smile. Spike tried to walked to his room to go to bed, but he was too tired to walk. Twilight giggled, "you want me to carry you Spike", she said with a smile. Spike nodded as Twilight levitate him on her back as she started to walk to his room. When she was walking in the giant hallway, she bumped into Starlight Glimmer, "Twilight, there you are, i was- "Shhh, Spike is sleeping Starlight", Twilight said looking at her little brother sleep on her back. Starlight saw him and giggled, "ok, take him to bed, then I'll talk to you", she whispered. Twilight opened Spikes room and layed him under the blankets, she tucked him in and kissed his head, "goodnight Spike", she whispered with a smile. When she walked out and closed the door, she asked, "ok Starlight, what is it you wanted to talk to me about", she said with a smile. Starlight beamed, "ok, i been thinking about all the times i helped Spike with magic and spells, and do you think the Princesses will let me be Spikes personal magic teacher", she said with a smile. Twilight frowned, "i don't know Starlight, what if they say no", she told her student. Starlight frowned, "come one Twilight, Spike needs it", she tried to convince her. Twilight glared at her, "no Starlight, i already have plans to teach Spike some spells anyways", she said turning and walking away. Starlight teleported in front of her mentor, "why are you acting this way Twilight, you been doing this for a while", she asked with a confused voice. Twilight glared, "acting how, i'm not acting weird because you are trying to take my little brother away from me", she said trying to walk to her room. Starlight stared at her, understanding now, "so that's what it is..your jealous that i'm helping Spike with magic and spells and your not", she said with a hurt voice. Twilight stopped and looked down, "i don't have time for this Starlight, go to bed and get ready for tomorrows Gala", she said walking in her room and closing the door. Starlight stared at the door, "I'm sorry Twilight, but I'm still asking the Princesses tomorrow", she said walking to her room. With Twilight, she was struggling sleeping as she was dreaming about Spike, She opened her eyes and saw she was in Canterlot. She looked around and saw Spike with Starlight Glimmer, "wow Starlight, your a much better magic teacher then Twilight, i wish you can be my sister instead of her", he said hugging Starlight. Starlight hugged him back, "and i wish you were my little brother Spike", she said looking at Twilight with a smaug look. Twilight felt tears in her eyes as she looked on at them hugging, then she saw the Princesses walk up to them. "Starlight Glimmer, you have mine and Lunas permission to be Spikes personal magic teacher", Celestia said with a smile. Luna turned to her sister, "indeed dear sister, i believe that she will do a better job then Twilight, maybe even a better sister then Twilight too", she said with a smile. Twilight ran up to Spike, "Spike, why are you doing this, i'm your big sister", she said with tears in her eyes. Spike turned to her, "oh hello Twilight, my former big sister", he said backing away from her. Twilights eyes widen as more tears came out her eyes, "Spike, please don't do this", she said with a frown. The Princesses glared at her, "you couldn't protect my son when he ran away, so Starlight will now protect him like a big sister should", she said smiling at Starlight and Spike. Spike smiled at his mom, "really mom, Twilight don't have to be my big sister and Starlight can", he said with joy. Celestia nodded as Spike beamed,"thank you mom", he turned to Starlight and hugged her, "i love you big sister". Starlight smirked at Twilight, "i love you too little brother". Twilight backed away slowly and ran away in tears, she ran in the Castle garden and broke down, "why did Spike say that for, i thought i was his big sister", she said crying on the floor, into her arms. Then her hurt turned into anger, "Starlight..Starlight took him from me", she said with a glare and gritted teeth as her eyes became like Nightmare Moons, but disappeared when she saw Princess Luna walk up to her in concern. "What ever is the matter Twilight", she asked looking down at her with worry. Twilight felt tears in her eyes again, "Spike don't need me no more as a big sister", she said with a frown. Luna was confused, "why is that". Twilight gritted her teeth and glared at the floor, "Starlight is giving him magic lessons, i was supposed to do that for Spike, i'm his big sister and not her". Luna saw her eyes and gasped, "Twilight, calm down, Spike will never leave your side for Starlights", she said trying to calm her down. Twilight took a few breaths and relax, making her eyes go back to normal, "i don't know what to do Princess, i don't wanna lose Spike again", she said in a hurt voice. Luna hugged her, "the choice is up to you Twilight, make the right one", she said disappearing. In Canterlot, Princess Luna opened her eyes, "cause if you don't, a Nightmare will take control over you because of your jealousy..like it did me", she said with a frown. > At The Gala part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up with a jolt, she looked around and saw it was morning, she sighed in relief knowing it was only a dream, "time for the Gala", she said with a small smile. She got up and walked to Spikes room to wake him up, she knocked on the door, "Spike, are you up yet", she said with a smile. She got no answer and thought he was asleep still, so she opened the door and walked in, "Spike, time to get up", she said with a giggle. When she got close to his bed, she noticed he wasn't in it and panicked, she ran out his room to look for him, she checked all over the Castle and still couldn't find him, "oh no, what if he got pony napped, they can hold him for ransome", she said with worry. She heard the door opened and saw Spike with Starlight in his green and purple tux, "you look great in that tux Spike", she said with a smile. He looked down, "you think so Starlight", he said with a smile. Starlight smirked, "yup, and i'm sure Scootaloo will think so too", she said withba giggle. "Starlight", he wined with a blush. They saw Twilight glaring at them, "what", they said in union. Twilight shook her head, "Starlight, wanna help me with breakfast", she said walking away. "No thanks Twilight, me and Spike ate already", Starlight said with a smile. "Yup, we went to Sugercube Corner, we were gonna wake you, but decided to bring you back sometime", he said levitating a bag to her. Twilight grabbed it with her magic and opened it up to find a muffin, she glared at it as she turned it to ashes. Spike saw the look on her face, "Twilight, are you feeling ok", he said in concerned. "I'm fine Spike", she said through gritted teeth. Spike wasn't convinced, "are you sure, because- "I SAID I'M FINE SPIKE!", she yelled using the royal Canterlot voice. Spike fell back on his flank from the force and stared at her with a hurt look, "Twilight", he said getting teary eyed, Twilight never yelled at him before. Starlight saw Twilights eyes looking like Nightmare Moons, "you need to calm down Twilight", she told her teacher/friend. Twilight shook her head and walked away, "whatever, just get ready for the Gala", she said walking to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Starlight helped Spike up, "don't worry Spike, when the Gala is over, I'll talk to her", she said with a comforting smile. Spike wiped his eyes and dicided to forget about it, "your right, we need to get ready", he said putting on a smile. Later on, Spike flew to Scootaloos cloud house and knocked on the door with a hoof, the door opened and he saw a blue stallion with a short rainbow mane and tail, "so, your the colt thats here to pick up my little girl", he said with a glare, making Spike shrink back. Scootaloo came to the door, "dad, thats Spike", she said with a stern look. His eyes widen, "Spike..as in Princess Celestias son Spike", he said sweating bullets. She nodded as he quickly bowed, "i'm sorry young Prince, i didn't know it was you", he said in a panic. Spike backed away a little, "It's ok, all is forgiven", he said with a smile. Scootaloo face hoofed, "dad, can we go inside your embarrassing me", she said with a blush embarrassed. They went inside where Scootaloos giggling mom is at, "i can't believe my daughter got herself a coltfriend", she said with a grin. They blushed as Scootaloo told her mom, "mom, he's not my coltfriend, not yet anyways", she wispered the last part. Spike turned to her, "what was that Scootaloo", he said with a smile. "Nothing Spike", she said looking away. Her parents decided to introduce themselves, "hi, i'm Windy Wistles and this is my husband Bow Hothoof", Windy said with a smile. Spike smiled back, "nice to meet you, i'm Spike future Prince of Equestria", he said with a smirk and puffing his chest out. Windy giggled, "you got yourself a keeper Sweetie", she told her daughter. Scootaloo blushed, "mom", she wined of embarrassment She turned to Spike, "come on, let's go before-SNAP-she starts taking pictures", she said before she face hoofed. Spike saw they had a camera with a picture sticking out, "umm", was all he can say confused. "Mom, dad, I'll be back later tonight, come on Spike", Scootaloo said flying out. Spike was gonna follow Scootaloo out, but was called back by her parents, "Spike, can we talk to you for a second", Windy said with a smile. "We just wanna say thank you for teaching our little Scootaloo to fly", Bow said with a smile. Spike smiled back, "your welcome", he said flying out after Scootaloo. They watched him fly away, "take care of our daughter Spike", they said in union. They reached the Boutique as everypony was there, Spike had to wait outside a room untill the Main 6 and the cmc were done getting ready, not that they wear clothes anyways. Spike knocked on the door, "can i put my tux on yet", he said inpatient. Rarity went up to the door, "Spike, we are putting clothes on, you cannot come in here, it's rude", she told him through the door. Applejack rolled her eyes, "for the last time Rares, we don't normally wear clothes, we are always naked", she said with a groan. When they were done getting ready, they walk out wearing their Gala dresses, he saw the cmc and his jaw dropped, "you three look beautiful", he said making them blush. "Thank you Spike", they said in union. "Sweetie Belle, are you ok with me taking Scootaloo to the Gala as my date", he told his fillyfriend. Sweetie Belle shook her head, "no, it's ok Spike", she said with a smile. Spike smiled back and kissed her, "thanks Sweetie". Rarity was surprised, "Sweetie Belle darling, are you sharing Spike with your 2 friends", she said with raised eyebrow. Sweetie Belle nodded, "yeah, me and the girls decided to share him", she said with a smile. Rarity looked at her, "i'm ok with it, as long you don't do any adult stuff", she said with a stern look as the rest of the older ponies agreed. It was night time and they were on their way to the Gala via Chariot, when they got there, Spike saw his family all dressed up. The Chariot landed and he hopped out, "mom, dad, it's nice to see you again", he said flying towards them and hugging their necks. They were surprised, "Spike, you can fly", Celestia said with a smile. "Yup, and i can shoot magic and use spells", he said flying in mid air. Solaris smile, "now you can be tough, maybe join the royal Guards", he said with a smirk. Celestia glared at her husband, "but he's still a child", she said with a frown as he folded his ears back and put his head down. Celestia smiled and kissed him, "maybe when he is old enough ok", she said with a smile. Spike smiled as he landed on the ground, "it was Starlight that taught me to shoot magic and use spells", he said with joy. Solaris looked at Starlight, "is that so", he said with a smile. Spike nodded as Twilight interrupted with a groan, "i don't want to be rude Celestia, but don't we have a party to get to", she said walking away with a grumble. Everypony looked at her weird, "whats her problem", Rainbow said confused. Starlight and Luna stared at her, "control your anger Twilight", they both thought. As everpony was mingling, Twilight walked away from everypony else, "oh Starlight taught me some spells and magic", she said mockingly. "What about me Spike, you could have came to me for magic advice or teaching because i'm your big sister, not her", she said glaring at the ground pacing as her eyes were slit. Luna saw her and walked up to her, "Twilight, you need to control this jealousy of yours with Starlight", she said in concerned. Twilight flew away saying, "whatever Luna". Luna looked at her flying away, "i can feel it, the Nightmare is taking control over Twilight little by little", she said with worry. With Celestia and her family, "mom, i told you, i'm not interested in finding love yet", Fluttershy said with a blush, flying in place. "But why not Fluttershy, your little brother did", she said pointing a hoof towards Spike who was busy talking to Scootaloo and laughing. "Come on Fluttershy, theres got to be a stallion you have your eyes on", Celestia said with a smirk. "Mom", Fluttershy wined red faced. Solaris looked at his wife, "i agree with Fluttershy, i don't think she is ready", he said with a shake of his head. She flew down next to him, "thank you daddy", she said with a smile as she hugged him. He nuzzled her affectionately, "i want her to be my little Princess a little bit longer", he said with a smile. "Daddy", she wined with a blush. Celestia giggled at her daughters blushing face, then she saw Spike calling her, "hey mom, check it out", he said as he teleported, then he started teleporting all over the place before being caught in Starlights magic. "Spike, remember what i told you", she said with a stern look as she put him down. Spike blushed in embarrassment, "oh right, sorry Starlight". Starlight smiled, "it's ok Spike", she turned to his parents, "Princess Celestia, Prince Solaris, if it's ok with you, i wanna be Spikes full time magic teacher", she said with a bow. They looked confused, "full time magic teacher", Celestia said with interest in her voice. Solaris turned to her, "sounds like a great idea, he could become stronger", he said with a smile. Celestia thought about it, then agreed, "sounds like a great idea, ok Starlight from this day on, you are now my sons full time magic teacher", she said with a smile. Spike beamed, "really mom, she can", he said with a smile. They nodded as he hugged Starlight, "i can't wait for you to teach me new spells", he said with a smile. She hugged him back, "and it's gonna be great teaching you Spike", she said with a smile. She broke the hug when she heard the royal couple clear they're throats, "but we need a promise from you", Celestia said before looking at Spike, "Spike, do you mind us talking to Starlight alone", she said with a smile. Spike shook his head, "not at all mom", he said running away, but stopped, "oh mom, i forgot to ask, if Sweetie Belles my fillyfriend and i'm a future Prince, does that make her a future Princess", he said with a blush. They thought about it, "not really, unless you two get married", she said with a grin. Spike blushed, "oh..well, i'm gonna go look for Scootaloo, bye mom, dad", he said running off. When they made sure he was gone, they turned their attention back to Starlight, "you know what dark magic is, right", Celestia asked with a serious look. Starlight nodded, "yeah, why", she said confused. "I don't want my son to learn any dark magic whatsoever, the last thing i want is a Sombra version of my son", Solaris said in a serious tone as his wife nodded. Starlight bowed, "you have my word that Spike with not learn dark magic", she said with her eyes closed. "I trust my sons future in your hooves Starlight Glimmer, make sure he knows how to defend himself and protect himself from harm", Celestia said with a smile. "You have my word Princess", Starlight said with a smile, then she walked away to look for Spike. With Twilight, she flew around in the sky as she was mumbling to herself with a glare as her eyes were slit like. She looked down and saw Spike looking around, he eyes went back to normal as she smiled, knowing Starlight wasn't around him. She flew down next to him, "hey Spike, what your looking for", she said with a smile. Spike looked at her with a smile, "oh hey Twilight, geuss what", he said with a beaming smile. Twilight smiled and said, "what". "Starlight is now my full on magic teacher", he said with a smile, but slowly frowned when he saw the look on her face, "Twilight, you ok?" Twilight had her eye's closed and gritting her teeth, when she opened her eyes, they were slit like Nightmare Moons. She finally snapped, "Starlight this, Starlight that, what about me Spike, i thought i was your big sister, you should be coming to me for advice, not her", she said glaring at him with her slit eyes. Spike backed away scared as she walked towards him, Starlight saw this and ran in front of her, protecting him. Twilight glared and gritted, "you took him away from me, i was supposed to teach him magic like a big sister, but you took that from me", she said through gritted teeth. Starlight got ready to defend herself and Spike, "why are you acting this way Twilight", she said with a glare. Twilight glared back, "its because of you", she said causing her body to have a dark purple aura around her, and her eyes to glow. She started to transform and become the same hight as Luna causing her dress to rip off, dark purple fur and Sparkling purple mane and tail, she had one goal on her mind and that is to kill Starlight Glimmer for taking whats important to her. > At The Gala Part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight stood there glaring at a surprised Starlight Glimmer, Spike stared at Twilight in fear, ponies saw the commotion and stared at Twilight in fear and backed away from her. "You took him away from me", Twilight said with a echoing voice, glaring at her. Starlight got ready to fight, "i didn't take him away from you", she said with a frown. "Shut up", she said firing a magic bolt at her. Starlight eyes widen and quickly put up a magic shield and defended herself and Spike from the attack, ponies ran from the area in a panic. Celestia and Solaris saw ponies running and asked, "whats going on". A random pony said, "theres a magic fight", he said running away. Celestia and her family went to check it out, and saw Twilight attacking Starlight and Spike, but something was different about her. Celestia used her magic to stop her, "Twilight, whats the meaning of this", she asked with a glare. Twilight didn't listen and broke free from the hold and continued to attack Starlight. Starlight barley had enough strength to push Twilight back, "run Spike", she said using her magic to levitate herself and fly off. Spike ran to his mom as Twilight gave chase to Starlight, "Spike, are you ok", Solaris asked his son concerned as his mom hugged him. Spike nodded, "I'm ok dad, but theres something wrong with Twilight", he said scared breaking the hug. "Fluttershy, keep your brother safe, we'll go after Twilight", Celestia told her daughter. "Ok mom, dad, aunt Luna, please be careful", she said hugging them scared. "Don't worry, we will", Solaris said as him, his wife and Luna flew after Twilight. Twilight was chasing Starlight, firing magic bolt after magic bolt, she was missing, but destroying everything as well. "Twilight stop, I don't wanna fight you", Starlight said dodging the bolts. Twilight was getting more angry by the second, "stop moving so I can kill you", she said through grit teeth. She fired another magic bolt, but missed and destroy a bridge, "you can run Starlight, but you can't hide", she said looking around for her. Starlight was hiding and trying to catch her breath, "Twilight, please stop", she whispered in a hurt voice, not wanting to attack her back. With the Main 5 and the cmc with Spike, "what's wrong with Twilight" Applejack asked concerned. "I don't know Applejack, she thinks Starlight took me from her", he said pacing back and forth. The Main 5 and cmc saw Twilight chasing Starlight all over the place while firing magic bolt at her and missing, Celestia, Solaris and Luna were trying to stop her but couldn't, everything were being destroyed in Canterlot. Spike looked on wide eyed, the he gave a determined look, "stay here", he said flying towards the battle. "Spike wait", Fluttershy called flying after him, as everypony else followed them. With the battle, Starlight had enough running and decided to fight back, "Twilight, please forgive me", she said firing a magic bolt of her own at Twilight. Twilight was surprised by it and got hit, stunning her, she shook it off and smirked, "so, its like that", she said firing bolts at Starlight. Soon it became a back and forth battle, "Twilight, stop this at once", Celestia said trying to trap her in a magic bubble shield, but some how she broke out. Twilight turned to her with a glare, "stay out of it, or your gonna get hurt", she said through gritted teeth. "We are not gonna fight you Twilight, just calm down and stop", Celestia said with a stern look, not wanting to fight her favorite student. "So your gonna be part of it, then fine", she said firing a magic bolt at Celestia. Solaris pushed her out of the way and got hit by it, making him scream in pain and plummet to the ground, "Solaris!", Celestia cried for her husband. Spike and Fluttershy saw him get hit, "dad", the colt cried flying down towards him. "Oh no, daddy", Fluttershy cried in tears watching her father fall. Spike gritted his teeth a concentrated on his magic, trying to save his father, "come on, come on", he said trying to at least slow the fall. Solaris hit the ground with a thud as Spike landed next to him, "dad, are you ok", he asked in worry. Fluttershy landed next to Spike and gasped in shock at her father wound, he had a black burnt spot on his rib. He tried to get up, only to fall back down in pain, Spike was pacing back and forth, untill he got an idea and closed his eyes and his horn glowed. But nothing happened, he groaned, "Fluttershy stay here with dad, i'm gonna go help mom", he said about to fly up. "No Spike, it's to dangerous", she said in tears looking at him. "Fluttershy, dad needs you, i can't do nothing 'cause i don't know any healing spells", he said with worry Fluttershy looked at her father, then Spike, "please be careful Spike", she said in tears, aiding her father. Spike flew up to the battle, "Twilight, stop this please", he said in a hurt voice. She turned to him, "stay out of it Spike", she said with a glare. "No Twilight, you need to stop", he said with a glare of his own. They stared at each other for a while, before Twilight got hit with a magic bolt and turned around firing her own. "The Nightmare has taken control over her, because of her jealousy", Luna said as she put up a magic shield. Celestia dodged a few, "he anger is making her too strong, we can't even stop her", she said before getting hit herself and screamed in pain and fell. "Sister", Luna cried, as she flew down after her. Spike saw his mother falling as his aunt was flying down to catch her, "mom", he cried, then he turned to Twilight. "Twilight, I'm sorry for this", he said firing a magic bolt at her, it hit her in the back. She turned to him with a glare, "you attack me after everything we been through", she said through gritted teeth. Spike stood his ground, "you need to snap out of it Twilight", he said ready to defend himself. Twilight glared, "fine, join your parents then", she said firing a bolt at him, Spikes eyes widen, then closed waiting for the impact. Starlight saw this and fired a bolt of her own and stopped it before it hit Spike, "Twilight, snap out of it, you almost hurt Spike", she said tired from the battle. "This is your fault", she said before she felt something jump on her back, she turned her head and saw it was Spike. "Twilight please, i love you and we don't want to hurt you..i don't wanna hurt you", Spike said with tears in his eyes, hugging her neck. Twilight eyes widen, then she glared, "yeah right, you don't love me", she said grabbing him with her magic and tossing him towards a wall and started attacking Starlight again. Spike activated his bubble shield and embraced for impact, he hit it with so much force, it collapsed on top of him. Celestia saw it, "my boy", she cried flying toward the pile of rubble. Fluttershy and Solaris heard her and saw her flying towards a collapsed wall, "oh no, Spike", Fluttershy said in tears for her little brother. Celestia was gonna use her magic to levitate the pile of rubble off her son, when he blasted his way out in a green shield panting and his tux ripped, "i need to stop her, that's not Twilight", he said flying towards the fight. Twilight was blasting Starlight, when she felt a blast behind her, she turned around and saw Spike, "so, back for more", she said with a glare. Spike glared back, "you are not Twilight, my sister will never hurt me like you did", she said through grit teeth. Twilight chuckled, "your right, i'm not 'cause i'm Nightmare Sparkle", she said with a laugh, then she fired a magic bolt at him. Spike blocked it with a shield, "your pretty good for a alicorn colt", she said with a smile. Spike smirked, "cause i had a great teacher the taught me a thing or two", he said firing a bolt at her. She dodged and flew at him, Spike saw this and flew away from her as Nightmare Sparkle started firing bolts at him, but he dodged them. Celestia and Solaris saw that their son was in danger and flew to rejoin the battle as they follow her shooting bolt at the evil alicorn. Nightmare Sparkle looked behind herself and smirked, she did a loop de loop and ended up behind them. Spike looked behind himself and saw Nightmare Sparkle attacking his parents, he glared and fired a bolt at her. Luna flew to the battle to aid her sister and brother in law, but got hit by Spikes magic because Nightmare Sparkle dodged it. "Sorry aunt Luna", he said firing another a Nightmare Sparkle. Starlight joined the battle as Nightmare Sparkle flew around dodging the magic bolts. Nightmare Sparkle turned around and quickly fired bolts at Celestia, Solaris and Luna dropping them out of the sky. "Mom, dad, aunt Luna", Spike cried for his parents and aunt, the glared and charged at Nightmare Sparkle, only to get grabbed by the neck with her magic. "Let him go Nightmare Sparkle, this is between you and me", she said with a glare. "Your right, it is and he's getting hurt because of you", she said tossing him aside. "I'm gonna turn you to stone", she said firing a spell at her, then they started to battle one on one, firing Spells at each other eather blocking or dodging. With Spike flying through the air, towards the Main 5 and cmc, Rainbow Dash saw him and flew to catch him. She caught him, "gotcha Spike", she said with a smile. "Why is she doing this", he asked himself as he got visions of him and Twilight together. "Let me go, i gotta go back out there", he said as Rainbow Dash held him. "No way Spike, it's too dangerous", she said with a shake of her head and holding him tight. He tried to get out of Rainbow Dashs hold, "i need to snap her out of it", he said struggling. "Spike, please don't do it, i don't wanna see you get hurt again", Sweetie Belle said in tears as the rest of the girls nodded. He saw Starlight and Nightmare Sparkle at a distance, then they started charging their horns, he stared in shock at everything that is destroyed and used whatever strength he had and kicked Rainbow off and flew towards them. "Spike wait", Fluttershy tried to call him. "You gotta Stop right now Twilight", he yelled as they fired their magic at the same time, Starlight saw Spike flying in the middle of it, but it was too late. "Stoooop", he said before getting hit by the two blast causing a huge explosion. "SPIKE!" Fluttershy cried in tears flying towards her little brother. Celestia Solaris and Luna showed up as Spike got hit, "my baby...no", Celestia cried in tear. Nightmare Sparkle stared in shock, "fool, trying to stop our battle", she said calming down a little. Spike fell from the sky unconscious and glowing red, Solaris flew in and caught him, he took him to the rest of the Main 6 and cmc. When he landed he put a red glowing unconscious Spike down, then he turned to stone as everypony gasped in shock with tears. "Spike, please no...Spike", Fluttershy cried holding her father in tears for her little brother she lost. The cmc cried as their sister's hugged them in tears also, Sweetie Belle was crying her eyes out for the lost of her coltfriend. Celestia, Luna, Starlight and a calmed down Twilight flew down to see Spike as a statue, "my beautiful boy..no", Celestia cried hugging her husband for the lost of her son. Solaris was hugging his wife and daughter with his wings in tears, sad that he lost a son he never got to spend some time with. Starlight was hugging Luna as they both cried for their lost, as Twilight stared at Spike in tears, "what have I done, I..I..I'm so sorry Spike", she said breaking down as she collapsed. Everypony was too busy crying for Spike to see their tears going in the statue as it glowed, then it stopped, "uhh what happened", Spike said slowly getting up with a groan. Everypony wiped their tears and stared in shock at Spike, then Celestia scooped him up in tears as she was kissing his head, "my boy, my beautiful son, your alive", she said hugging him. Solaris and Fluttershy joined in on the hug with tears of joy, happy that their son and little brother is alive. They put him down, the the cmc grouped hugged him as they kissed him all over his face with tears, happy to know the colt they love is alive. Spike was blushing when they stopped, the Twilight hugged him in tears, "I'm so sorry Spike, I didn't mean to hurt you, I saw what I was doing, but I couldn't control myself", she said as she kissed his head. Spike looked up at her, "it's ok Twilight, I forgive you", he said with a smile and tears. Twilight smiled with tears, "I love you little brother", she said hugging him. Spike hugged her back, "I love you too big sister", he said in tears. Twilight broke the hug and turned to Starlight, "you can be Spikes full time magic teacher", she said with a smile. Then she frowned, "i'm so sorry Starlight", she said looking down. Starlight hugged her, "I forgive you Twilight", she said with a smile. Celestia smiled, "I forgive you too Twilight". "Me too", Luna said with a smile. Solaris smiled, "me too, I forgive you". Twilight smiled with tears, "thank you all". Scootaloo walked up to Spike, "Spike, will you be my coltfriend", she asked with a blush. Spike smiled, "does this answer your question", he said kissing her on the lips. Scootaloo was surprised, but slowly closed her eyes, when they broke the kiss, Solaris told him with a grin, "and thats how I got your mother to be with me", he said causing Celestia to glare at him with a blush. Apple Bloom asked with a blush, "Spike, will you be my coltfriend too". Spike smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips, "yes Apple Bloom, I will". The cmc beamed and nuzzled him as he blushed red, everypony laughed at his reaction glad that everything is back to normal. Somewhere else a bug like alicorn opened her eyes and gave an evil grin, "this love is powerful, I like it". A Changeling walked in her throne, "Queen Chrysalise, i have news the Princess son has returned", he said with a bow. "Really, then I will drain all the love from him", she said with a evil laugh. THE END
