"Yes, finally another story of a person reincarnating as Spike, there are about three already."

"Charly the cretin was another embittered individual who fantasized about unreal worlds and happy moments. After insulting every deity possible, the gods of wishful thinking allowed him to fulfill his dream."

"Stop me if you've heard this before. A character, Charly, has died, causing a great commotion in the census. A deity or something similar grants him another chance that he didn't seize to make friends. However, the deceased heartthrob Charly doesn't want this, so he does the most logical thing in this situation.

Twilight Sparkle was always a loyal student from a young age, never disappointing her teacher or doing anything to upset her. That includes never mentioning the old love letters she found in the princess's trunk. But putting aside her intelligence and self-control, she now rushes home to warn about the arrival of NIGHTMARE MOON (curiously, her name doesn't appear in the census).

Meanwhile, Charly gently awakens and softly asks upon seeing his claws, 'Wow, have I transformed into another creature?' This happened in his mind; he was reasonably paralyzed. His once beautiful calloused and sore hands from working as a virtual reality mason had wasted away, now replaced by sharp but somewhat chubby claws. His sculpted face with acne marks was a bland reptilian face with snake eyes.

After the initial shock, Charly did the most sensible thing: to see his new member. 'Upon concentrating and seeing it grow,' Charly exclaimed, 'DAMN, I have two penises!' That makes up for everything. And now, Charly, with a smile, embraced his new life

"The joy of the moment was short-lived, disrupted by the homeowner, the landowner, and her brooms. Twilight entered, calling for Spike, who decided to hide behind the door from the intruder.

"Spike!" Twilight shrieked upon seeing her paralyzed servant, possibly caught being lazy. Spike merely sought to obey Twilight's orders, realizing that the smallest bed was his. Automatically, like moving an involuntary muscle, he did everything asked of him – fetching books, even falling off shelves, vomiting mail, and climbing onto a carriage powered by two horses. But any fear or respect he might have had for the self-proclaimed unicorn Twilight vanished after enduring three hours of her crying and complaints.

"Look, Twilight, maybe you should listen to that princess; making friends isn't so bad. Being sent to the edge of the country overnight, now that's bad. And you don't complain about that. You might even make a friend," Spike mentioned with a timid smile, hoping to silence her. Sadly, it only provoked her.

"But Spike, I don't understand why the princess would take such a serious situation lightly; it's not like her." Within seconds of the royal guard pegasi landing, they dashed away from Twilight. Before she could comment on this oddity, she was surprised by a pink pony who gasped at the sight of someone from the city.

"Remember when I said you could be friends with someone?" Spike queried a bewildered Twilight. "Well, everyone except her." And so, Spike faced his first evening in his new reality."

"The first item on the list is to check the food for the festival. Hey, but I don't understand why they send you to do this if you're just a student. Aren't there others qualified for this?" Upon arrival, we were besieged by Applejack and what I think was her partner, Big Mac. I was actually more concerned about the apparent injury Applejack caused to Twilight. Poor thing, should I believe she was a tax collector? Anyone could be mistaken due to her city accent.

"Hey, Twi, have you heard about moderation?" Twilight seemed to just continue with the list automatically, ignoring clear derogatory comments about her weight and diet, as we were having amusing situations with a Pegasus of questionable sexuality. Must have had a conflicted childhood.

We entered the only place bold enough to have a color different from brown and white: a boutique managed by another unicorn. The difference lies in their makeup. Apparently, no one seems to notice that they all have the same face but with varying colors. Now Twilight is being rude to Rarity.

"Hey, Twi, just accept the girl's spaghetti. I think you can still eat a bit more," I said with a disappointed look and a craving for spaghetti.

"Spike, what are you talking about? We're talking about decorations," Twilight mentioned before being interrupted by Rarity.

"Oh, darling, do you owe me a story about Canterlot, the glamour about...?" Oh great, I'll just ignore this until the next scene!

"Spike, hey Spike. Are you okay? You've been lost in thought for half an hour. You didn't react when they put you in that outfit. All day you've just been quiet and still like a statue. Tell me if you're feeling unwell, okay?"

"Whatever you say, Twi. Hey, isn't that the next thing on the list?" The next part of the preparations involved checking if the festival music was suitable. A shy and reserved butter-colored pony conducted birds like an orchestra. However, even when Twilight tried to start a conversation with the girl, she only managed to make the conversation more uncomfortable, ending up in silence. As we were leaving, Fluttershy let out a cute scream upon seeing me and started babbling about how cool and manly us dragons are. It's always the shy ones.

"So, what do you want me to say?" I asked the sick armadillo-colored pony, enchanted by her pony-colored eyes.
"I want to know everything," she responded with a soft sigh that betrayed her true intentions. I decided to comply with her request but without delving into adult topics out of respect for Twilight.
"Well, it all started when I was a small and tender egg, living happily where dragons live. Until the evil Princess Celestia kidnapped me. Yes, she used her magic to snatch me and keep me as a trophy in her castle. Until one day, this pony..." I emphasized my point by tapping Twilight's rear end with my chubby paw, "...used me to pass her entrance exam at the Princess's School of Magic and Combat. Celestia was so impressed that a filly could hatch a dragon from its shell that she gifted her a palace, a pufferfish, and a personal servant – that would be me, a servant for all eternity, or for as long as ponies live." As I finished my story based on my vague new memories, Fluttershy had vanished, and I was alone in a dark room.
"Spike, how could you tell such a terrible and false story!?" But my sweet Twi's scolding had to wait given the new circumstances.
A group of ponies led by the pink pony (now Pinkie) decided to crash into our residence to give us a welcome that only Twilight would hear, probably threats and rules about the town. I decided to immerse myself in the atmosphere and might end up kissing a girl in the dark part of the treehouse.

After three hours of a wild party that was essentially an embellished twelve-year-old's celebration, I discovered a sad reality. For the ponies, I was a cute nine-year-old, chubby and spoiled. There would be no kisses under the table, and worse yet, nobody cared that I was a dragon. I was the biggest beast in this world but in miniature form, and the only one who seemed to care was the loser Pegasus, Fluttershy.
"Oh no, that story you told me was awful, Spike. I thought the princess was sweet and kind." Tears streamed from Fluttershy's lovely eyes, and a growing fear about her ruler only intensified. I decided to confirm it.
"Yes, but that's not the worst thing the princess has done. Once, she took away birthday cake from all the orphaned children in Equestria." I got up to find Twilight, leaving the now non-believer in her system of government, Fluttershy. Maybe she could dance with her. I remember she likes that a lot.
"Hey, Twilight, do you know how lame it is to throw a party at your house and then not show up? Besides, it's almost time for the festival and everything."

"Oh no, she's becoming rude again, I'm going to ignore her while she talks about how terrible it is to behave in society.

"Hey Twilight, we're here already and I only had to endure you for an afternoon."

"I was worried about you until you called me rude."

"Did I say that out loud?"

"Everyone, praise Princess Celestia!" shouted the mayor as she looked at Twilight. "Hey, don't you find it curious that the princess made her most important festival in a small, remote town in the middle of nowhere? And that she sent you instead of one of her own ponies?" The curtain revealed a black pony laughing and acting like me after my parents' divorce. Nightmare Moon caused panic in the entire place. Twilight dragged me to the treehouse. I distanced myself from her problems, leaving her alone in the library. Before leaving, I heard Twilight's new friends entering the place to confront her.

I entered the forest; it should be safe if it's close to the town and there's no sign of danger. I only remembered eating gems and cakes, but with these fangs, I could probably eat some small animals. Maybe that way, the locals would respect me, and I'd get kisses in the closet. I must have changed for less than an hour until I was captured by Nightmare Moon, the pony.

"You were the friend of that lavender pony, but it seems she left you to your fate. But now you'll be my dragon slave. If you obey me, I'll grant you the privilege of being my main pet," Nightmare Moon held me with her magic, putting me in a dilemma. Being demoted from a pet to a slave would be a big step back in my career, but I'd work for a better company, maybe even get medical insurance." Alright," I replied, "but I'll have to give my resignation to my old employer, you know, for a reference."

Nightmare Moon ignored me and teleported me to the ruins of a castle just in time for 'that' conversation with Twilight. Instead, Twilight tried to confront Nightmare Moon; I must be a great employee to her. I cried with happiness as my boss called her followers to beat Nightmare Moon with lasers, who didn't want to discuss my employment benefits.

"Spike, I'm glad you're okay. How did Nightmare Moon catch you?"

"That doesn't matter, Twilight. I just want you to know that I'll never consider another job offer."

But evil Celestia killed the joy and silenced happiness with her majestic entrance. She threatened the now defeated Nightmare Moon to never rebel against her again, making her cry.

Now Twilight had a crown and would be a new resident of Ponyville. And Fluttershy would be in a vegetative state after seeing the princess. Poor thing, she's the only one who knows 'the truth.'

Meanwhile, I can only watch as Twilight decides our new residence and accepts that her teacher sent her on a suicide mission to retrieve her sister, whom she banished because she was bored. I guess life is amazing.

"Touch and I'm gone."

"So, Twilight, you working, I don't believe it. Early in the morning, Twilight woke up Spike with the excuse of preparing his breakfast. They had plans to help Applejack with her work on the farm, and apparently, Twilight was forbidden from going within ten meters of the kitchen. This left Spike confused; memories of him and Twilight filled his mind while memories of his past life faded away. The few memories he retained intact were clearly different, seeing his old friends as pony versions of themselves. Although he knew what a human was, his mind was capable of recreating the idea.

Breakfast was light, and Spike's movements in the kitchen were mechanical, making hay oatmeal and heating bread brought from Canterlot. For him, a gem with ketchup. Twilight left excitedly, mentioning how important it was for her studies to interact with her new friends. At that moment, Spike understood her motivations: Twilight sought to earn friendship points to write about it to the Princess.

He knew they had left the village when the atmosphere changed completely; Twilight was late and went straight to the apple fields. Applejack had a brief exchange of words with Twilight; she didn't notice, but Applejack was visibly upset by her lateness. They kicked trees and filled baskets. Spike just stayed thinking and analyzing his memories with Twilight.

Applejack and Twilight talked about mare things. Twilight talked most of the time about the wonders of taxes and the tax advantages that family businesses have. Their emotional chat was interrupted when Spike vomited a letter with two tickets to the Gala Gallop.

"The Gala Gallop is the most exclusive and important event in Equestria," Applejack mentioned with her characteristic accent, pointing at the ticket. Princess Celestia had invited Twilight plus one person to the event, and since Applejack was a visionary, she wanted to set up a food stand to raise funds for her grandmother's surgery. Apparently, the profits generated by the farm were not enough for surgery for a priority patient, even though this farm supplied three villages besides Ponyville! Rainbow Dash (the most epic pony) appeared on the scene asking for the second ticket, her dream was to meet the Wonderbolts and hassle them a bit, a dream more possible than Applejack's. The discussion between the two ponies ended with both of them facing off in a fight for the ticket. Spike, who was still on top of Twilight watching the show, kicked Twilight in the side with his hooves, making her whinny and run.

Twilight went out for a run when Spike hit her, dropping the tickets just a few seconds after they had entered the town. Twilight angrily pulled Spike off of her, furious at being used as a mount.

"Come on, Twi, it's not that big a deal. We had to leave, and you froze; I had to get you out of there," Spike mentioned as he brushed the dirt off his scales. "Besides, you're a pony; you should be used to that." Spike finished with a mocking smile directed at Twilight, who gave him a terrifyingly serious look.

"You know you shouldn't make those kinds of comments, Spike. You know very well that those kinds of comments are harmful."

"Aw, Twi, I was just kidding," Spike tried to lighten the awkward moment, but Twilight interrupted him again.

"Kidding? Spike, what's gotten into you?" Before he could continue, Fluttershy appeared between them with the tickets in her mouth.

Fluttershy completely ignored the argument they were having and began to discourse about the animals in Canterlot's garden, fantasizing about the unconditional love of all animals. Spike decided to thwart her dreams by mentioning that the garden was private and that if she entered, she would go to the dungeon. Poor Fluttershy believed his lies again and became paralyzed with fear, thinking she had committed a crime in her head. Twilight tried to continue her discourse about the historic racism that ponies have suffered, but she was attacked by Pinkie Pie and her dream of going to the Gallop Gala, which she considered the best party in the country. She sang about the wonderful games, but Spike decided to ruin her idea of the gala again to keep talking to Twilight.

"Pinkie, the gala is a type of social gathering, not a birthday party." Pinkie wouldn't give up on her dreams, claiming that such an important party should be just as fun. Twilight helped Spike by telling Pinkie that at the party, nobody dances the "Pony Okie Dokie," which broke her heart. Twilight's words were once again cut short by Rarity's presence and her dreams of finding love at the gala and marrying a prince. Spike and Twilight found nothing to say to her, and Rarity celebrated, thinking she would keep the ticket, but she was tackled by Rainbow Dash, who argued with Twilight about her decision to give the ticket to Rainbow Dash, being tackled by Applejack, who was still fighting with Rainbow over the ticket. The situation worsened when Applejack and Rainbow were on the floor, grabbing each other's manes in their attempt at Greco-Roman equestrian "combat."

Twilight exploded again in front of all the girls and left with Spike to eat their lunch. Alone again in the restaurant, they tried to resume their discussion. Twilight wanted to start her exposition about offensive comments towards different species, but she quickly noticed Spike's lack of interest.

"Hey, I'm talking about something important. Look at me instead of staring at the sky." A storm was raging in Ponyville, leaving houses flooded and foals abandoned, but a small ray of light was above Spike and Twilight. It was Rainbow, who initiated a storm 10 meters around to prevent Twilight from getting wet. Their fight had gone wrong, and Dash's missing tuft of hair confirmed it. Spike couldn't help but notice how a small house next to the restaurant was cruelly destroyed by the storm, leaving a family homeless. When the small storm ceased, Spike decided to distance himself from Twilight and what was happening in the town, trying to clear his mind of the uproar and the novice writing. When he reached the edge of town, he thought about leaving, leaving Twilight and going to the dragon lands. He thought he could send a letter to the Princess explaining why he left, but it was right on the edge of town that a pain in his chest froze any idea of leaving Twilight. He dug deep into his new memory and understood: in his oldest memory, it was Twilight who, with her magic, made him hatch, and it was that same magic that prevented him from abandoning his unicorn. The path he had traversed through the forest seemed to mock him and his attempt at a new life, but his attempt at independence vanished when he was teleported to the treehouse. Twilight, who was trying to hide from the whole town, found her friends in her room, waiting in the darkness.

"Oh, come on, completely unnecessary, girls," Twilight spoke with the girls about her thoughts and concerns, having a nice intimate moment very different from what Twilight had planned to have with Applejack. But her moment of reflection ended when Spike vomited five extra tickets with a letter from the Princess.

In the end, everything was resolved incredibly for Twilight and her band of social misfits. Twilight made her friends happy, Celestia was able to read about Twilight and Spike's friendship progress, and Spike discovered that the only thing his new body retained from the previous owner was an immense devotion to the nerd Twilight.
