Spike’s eyes were wide as he ran, his pony sister running close behind him as they traversed deeper and deeper into the Everfree Forest, a bit of blood dripping from the open wound on his arm. His shirt was a tattered mess, ripped open from the front, revealing the scars on his chest, and his jeans fared no better, being mangled and torn below the knees, making them look like a strange pair of shorts, showing the many scars on his legs as well. Neither one looked back as they ran, both fearing that their pursuers would close in on them if they did. They only let themselves catch their breath once they reached a clearing within the Fores

Twilight was beyond mad. She was furious. A guard attacking an unprovoked dragon like it was nothing more that a beast from the depth of the Everfree Forest. As she stared at Spike, her anger only grew. They had hurt her dragon. Her dragon. And she would make them pay. “Where is this guard now?” Twilight asked, her mane and tail starting to become more and more frazzled the angrier she got. “Twilight Sparkle.” Celestia suddenly spoke in a calm, yet commanding voice, causing Twilight to jump in surprise. “I will not let you just go off and attack one of my guards, even if they unlawfully attacked a dragon. It seem

Spike flew through the warm air above Canterlot, glad to be out of the snow of the Crystal Empire. He was feeling much better than when he had arrived there two days ago, and was ready to start helping Twilight around the Library again. He reminded himself that he shouldn't avoid Rarity, but at least move on from her. Her point of view stung, yeah, but at least he know knew how she felt now. There was a sudden gust of wind, knocking him off course for a bit, as he slowly started to spiral down, before he managed to correct himself and get back onto his flight course. He sighed in relief, before opening his eyes to look back into two aquamarin

Twilight was mad. She wanted to talk to Cadence about Spike, ask how he was doing, if she could go see him. Instead, the pink alicorn had brought Rarity back to Twilight's castle in hopes to get to the root of the situation. And of course, the pearly white unicorn sat oblivious to her friend's anger. “Rarity, while you don't think so, you hurt Spike with what you said to him.” The Princess of Love spoke. They had been talking for a good thirty minutes with the seamstress, hoping to understand why she blatantly ignored Spike's own feelings. “I was just explaining that it's wrong for a dragon to love a pony.” Rarity repl

Spike jolted awake, gasping in fear. Another nightmare… He thought to himself, as he buried his face in his claws, tears and sweat mixing in his palms. I need to get some control over this fear of mine. Last night’s nightmare was different from his first nightmare, even though they both started out with Rarity calling him a disgusting creature for loving ponies. He found himself being ridiculed and hated by everyone, including the Crystal Ponies... and even Twilight. He feared that all his friends felt the same way as Rarity, that everypony felt the same way as Rarity. And he would have no choice but to accept this law and eithe

Twilight layed on her bed as she silently cried, watching Starlight stare at her room wall, a thoughtful look plastered on her face. She wanted to go find Spike and tell him how she felt just to get it over with, but the logical side of her brain told her that Spike might find it as a cruel joke, so she decided to wait for Starlight's opinion. Glancing around her room, she looked at all the momentos she had gathered throughout the years to distract herself. Her bed was in far right corner of her room, with her desk placed right next to the head. Along the right wall were a few posters of different plays the Crystal ponies had put on about Spi

Spike stayed quiet as the train continued on towards Ponyville, the memories of what happened at the train station still fresh. He was just surprised that Twilight didn't blast him. Of course, after the whole mess with the misunderstanding of Spike, he couldn't really blame her if she had. ***** The stallion stared at Twilight with a guilty expression on his face. "Oh. Um, sorry. I thought dragon's stayed one way forever." He told them, to which she just smacked her face with a hoof. "I was wrong, I'll admit that now!" He rapidly added. Spike sighed, standing up and rubbing his jaw. "It's fine. Next time, when a dragon tells you something abo

Spike sat patiently across from Twilight as the train rolled on towards Canterlot. Normally, Twilight would've just flown them there, but she told him that she didn't want to appear sweaty at the restaurant, which made sense. What didn't make sense is how she was acting. She kept glancing around the compartment, as if looking for something to distract herself or talk about, which was new. Normally she'd be talking his ears off about a new spell, or Starswirl the Bearded, and how he was the only Unicorn powerful enough to rival the Princesses. And he paid attention, he could see the little nervous twitches in her wings. Looking around the comp

Spike walked through the entrance hall of the Castle of Friendship, the different shades of blue and white seeming to calm him down before he had to talk to Twilight. He hoped she wasn't busy giving Starlight Glimmer another friendship lesson. But, at the same time, he was hoping that was the case, so he could distract himself for a while from more negative thoughts and emotions. He was both relieved and slightly saddened to see her reading a book in the library as she normally did when there wasn't any princess duties, CutieMap emergencies, or friendship lessons for her to take care of. He slowly walked up to her, already starting to feel ne
