Princess Luna leaves the dream realm after discussing with Discord. She returns to Canterlot Castle, lowers the moon to raise the sun, and trots to Celestia's room. She knocks on the door.
"Five more minutes," Celestia groans a little.
"It's 7:30 in the morning. You're going to be late for breakfast. Pony Joe is delivering the donuts for breakfast again, Celestia."
Princess Celestia wakes up and gets ready. She opens the door immediately, and Luna steps in to close it.
"Forgive me, sister, as that was a lie. There is something crucial I need to speak to you."
"Alright, what you have to inform, Luna?"
"Promise me. Promise me that you won't speak of this to another."
Princess Celestia nods. "I won't tell a soul to anyone. It's between us and no one else. I've kept many secrets in the past. One more wouldn't hurt."
Princess Luna sighs. Celestia understands the gravity of the situation. She wonders what her sister has to say. Princess Luna creates a silencing circle so no one else can overhear the conversation within the room.
"It's about Spike."
"What about him?" Celestia's tone changes. She sounds serious and worried at the same time.
Princess Luna takes a deep breath. "Spike isn't here in Equestria."
"What are you talking about? He works at the School of Friendship and lives in the Crystal Empire. Is this a dark joke?"
"That's not Spike. That was Discord."
"Dis-Dis-Discord?" Princess Celestia sounds a little angry. "If that's Discord, then where is Spike?"
"In a better place where he's free from this world." Princess Celestia pants as she becomes teary, thinking that Spike is dead. "Sis, Spike didn't die. Spike made a wish, and Discord granted it."
"What?" Princess Celestia wipes her tears. "What did he wished for?"
"To be in a world where friends are treated like family and for him to be happy. We don't know what world Discord sent him to but, we do know that Spike is happy."
"So, why is Discord disguising himself as Spike?"
"To test Twilight and her friends," Princess Luna trots up to her sister and places her hoof on her forehead. "I'm going to use my night magic for you to see my memories through the dream. You'll see what transpired from the last time Discord spoke to Spike and our conversation."
"Okay," Princess Celestia nods, giving consent to her sister.
Princess Luna allows Celestia to witness the dream memory from last night as well as their conversation. Princess Celestia cries, seeing how heartbroken and depressed Spike was during that night. She now understands Discord's true motives. After twenty minutes of watching the memories, Luna's spell shuts off. Princess Celestia steps back to recompose herself.
"Is there a way to bring Spike back home?" Princess Celestia asks.
"You want to intrude his happiness?"
"He doesn't belong there. Also, how do you know he's happy? What if he's miserable, and it was Discord's doing?"
"You don't trust Discord?" Princess Luna is appalled by Celestia's reaction.
"Discord is unpredictable. He's the embodiment of Chaos, Luna. What he's doing is chaotic and messing around with Twilight's life a bit. He lied to Twilight and her friends. Lied to us!"
"I can't believe you. You're like them," Luna is displeased with Celestia.
"I'm nothing like them, Luna."
"You are! You sent your student to Ponyville to learn Friendship because you don't know what it is. You have no problem associating with every pony except for other creatures."
"Don't you remember what Discord did to Equestria a thousand years ago? When he took over Equestria."
"Yes, and he changed. It takes time to change, like building trust. May I remind you that you were quickly dismissive of me before I turned to Nightmare Moon?"
"Stop," Princess Celestia commands.
"Stop what, speaking the truth to you? I know what Discord is doing is noble. Would you helped Spike if he wished to go somewhere he can be happy, or would you sit idle and watch him die?"
"I said stop!" Celestia stomps her front hooves to get Luna to stop talking. She breathes heavily.
"So you are willing to sit idly until it's too late."
"No. If I would have known what was happening with Spike, I would have stepped in."
"Have you been keeping contact with Spike? Before all of this, when was the last time you reached out to the only dragon you can talk to?"
"I-I was busy. You know how it goes," Princess Celestia responds.
"You have no problem making time for Twilight and her friends. When it came to Spike, apparently that wasn't the case."
"That's not true..," Princess Celestia tries to remember the times she had with Spike.
"You've been surrounded by ponies of higher power that don't care about any other creature. Guess what, we have an EEA system that's racist to other creatures. Now I know where it came from," Princess Luna stares at her Celestia.
Princess Celestia gasps. "I am not the origin of that, and you know it!"
"No, but you carried that influence from the founders of our nation which isn't great. They started with hating each other cause they were different until they settled and become united. When other creatures came into the fray, you know where that hate went to?"
Princess Celestia sighs, remembering her childhood like it was yesterday. "Them."
"Exactly. Remember Chrysalis when she was younger? How did ponies treat her?"
"Hate and spite because she's different at the time," Princess Celestia admits.
"Do you know what happens when hate and spite get in the midst of a creature later in the years?"
"They plot and seek vengeance or, they hate our kind..," Princess Celestia lowers her head.
"Now you know how Discord felt all those years ago when everypony teased and mocked him for being different."
Princess Celestia sighs heavily. "Even so, Spike doesn't belong in that world he's in. He needs to come back. The other nations started their Bar of Alliance because of what happened to Spike. If they find out that he's been missing this whole time, things will be at a catastrophic level. Don't you agree?"
"Yes," Princess Luna admittingly nods. "However, you willing to pry away one's happiness for all? A dragon that's grown to misery to continue that path here?"
"You have to look at the bigger picture, Luna. If it's meant to be, then it's meant to be."
Princess Luna shakes her head. "Outrageous, Celestia. We as in every single one of us, should choose our paths and strive for happiness. Even if it's a 1% chance."
"No sacrifice, no victory, Luna. Remember that," Princess Celestia trots past Luna. "I won't tell anyone. I'll leave that up to Discord. It's on him if things reach a catastrophic level due to his antics and deception. I hope we have the real Spike back before global warfare begins," Celestia leaves her room.
Princess Luna looks at the floor. She now regrets telling Celestia about Spike as she seems to be blind. Princess Luna groans and decides to pay Chancellor Neighsay a visit.
very cool but im pretty sure luna would never say sis, she always says sister even in the show
10841415
I think she would if given more screen time from the show with Celestia
Author is pumping out chapters like they're newspapers makes me want to watch fairy tail again
Oh that was unexpected. The drama building now. Ooooo this is crazy.
10841425
Passion is what I have. This is my most fun story I'm writing.
10841426
Thanks
10841420
would, not does. how she talks in old manners would say otherwise but ok
10841430
It was
Yikes the situation in Equestria is reaching an invisible boiling point lets hope Discord has a backup plan in case things get too out of control
thank you for the great story
10841439
You're welcome
1084142 glad I found this story
10841436
Yea, let's hope.
10841442
I'm glad you're enjoying the story
10841431
This is my story, and if I believe there are things Luna would say, I'm gonna install it here.
If the other Nations find out about the real Spike missing, then the future chapters would be like World War 8 and most of them (Moslty Ember) would rages
There is a fic in wattpad with almost the same plot, Spike sent to other world and is more happy there but eventually he comes back to Equestria, the fic is Spike The Hunter, but is in spanish
10841450
I didn't know that exists to be honest.
10841449
Maybe
Is it okay for me to say that I like the Equestria storyline much more than the Fairy Tail storyline?
10841485
Yea, that's cool. I'm working with two realms of reality. You have your intake on what you like and don't like. There are two main focuses. You are a fan of this story and it's cool
oh dear. this is another twist. but its for the bad. don't know how it'll turn out in the end.
10841450
Can you send me a link?

Why do I have a bad feeling that Celeste is gonna do something behind Luna back?
10841545
Thank you!
10841549
We will have to wait and see
Anyone realize that Celestia is quite OOC ?
10841540
We will wait and see
10841559
Imagine telling all the nations that Spike isn't around and this whole time it was Discord's doing. How do you think they'll feel? Spike being a centerpiece of the Bar of Alliance, and Celestia knows what needs to be done
10841485
I agree with you to some degree.
FT line is an interesting and well worked insertion and development for Spike in that world, but to be honest, I don't spect a really big diference with the original story, save for Spike growing, becoming a full FT dragon, the development of his relationship with Wendy, and some encounters with other FT characters. I really enjoyed the Edolas saga of this story.
I believe the Eq line is were we can see the talent of the writer, developing that world and the changes that produces to Spike being in FT world.
I love this chapter, and this story .
10841585
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and the story
Dang it Celestia. Should Discord tell at least the leaders of the Bar of Alliance, to avoid most of the catastrophy? ----------------------> these are just my thoughts.
Cool chapter as always.
10841600
Thanks
Telling Celly was a mistake. Especially since she has a razor-sharp focus on the big picture, which can blind her in a way.
10841657
Definitely
10841568
You know Celestia is master of wearing the mask. I don't think she will take that risk to do that nor she shows emotion when this thing happened
10841671
Fair enough.
Here's yet another reason Celestia was disliked by fans after season 2.
Doggone it, knew Celestia would take like this!
Course if she manages to find Earth-land where Spike is right now she might get a rude awakening after what happened at the end of the Tenrou Island arc!
10841799
Indeed. Very Rude awakening for Celestia of course.🍺
I wonder if discord or luna will go to spike at any point and disscuss whats happening, and how this plot point will turnout in the future because of telling celestia.
10841922
We will wait and see
hope this turns out okay for spike, discord too.
also, could discord show them how spike is doing? that he found love, and is happy.
10841704
what do you mean?
10842054
Discord doesn't know what's going on with Spike and has no clue which world his magic took him to. It's like choosing a song with the shuffle feature. Don't know what you'll get.
10842056
Her failure to listen to reason has blinded her into what she believes is best for Spike & Equestria instead of trusting Luna's & Discord's finding's only proves her ignorance & no better than her so-called faithful student. If she doesn't change her point of view soon this will once again come back to bite her in more ways than one. Not to mention in the long run will only prove she's no longer fit to be ruler anymore if she can't open her eyes up to what the real big picture is instead of what she thinks it is.
As always my friend, great chapter! I had a very small feeling it would come to this with Celestia. But, since she is a political figure, she only looks at the big picture, never the small one. That is both bad and good. Good, because the bigger the better, but bad, because if you don’t see the small picture; that could lead to your very own downfall. I have read a lot of history and political books and it has usually ended that way. But, I sincerely hope that she will see the truth. But, after season 2 like TrainDude90S wrote: She never pays attention to anything else around her. If you don’t do that, then you can say goodbye to your power. Anyways, sorry for the lengthy comment.
I don't think if they found out Spike was never there it would cause that many problems once Discord explains cause he did that to save Spike and the other creatures made the alliance cause of what was happening to Spike. Besides Celestia won't be safe if she forced Spike to come back only question is which Dragon Slayer will be attacking her after Wendy or will it be all at once
