“Wasn’t she wonderful?” I asked. Rarity was one of the ponies whom I really liked, but she wasn’t my favorite pony.
“Focus, Casanova,” Twilight said. “What’s next on the list?”
“Music. It’s the last one.”
Just then, Twilight and I heard birds singing. We looked to see a yellow pegasus near a tree full of birds. This was Fluttershy, my favorite pony. She was the cutest and kindest out of the Mane 6.
“Oh my, stop please, everyone,” said Fluttershy. Apparently, one of the birds had trouble with its rhythm.
The scene played out just like in the show. Twilight scared the birds away by mistake, she said hello to Fluttershy, Fluttershy acted very shy, and then the birds returned.
“Well, that was easy,” Twilight said as I approached her. I knew what was going to happen next.
3...2..1…
“A baby dragon!” Fluttershy exclaimed. She ran over and pushed Twilight aside. “Oh, I’ve never a baby dragon before! He’s so cute.”
“Well, well, well,” I said to Twilight. The fact that Fluttershy called me cute made me blush.
“Oh, my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk.”
Dragon and pony interaction sure has come a long way. I forgot how little they got along in the beginning.
“That's just so incredibly wonderful. I just don't even know what to say!” Fluttershy said with glee.
Then I felt something tugging me, and the next thing I knew I was flying onto Twilight’s back.
“Well, in that case, we’d better be going,” Twilight said.
“Wait, wait!” Fluttershy called out. “What’s his name?”
“I’m Spike,” I replied.
“Hi, Spike. I’m Fluttershy. Wow! A talking dragon. What do dragons talk about?”
“What do you want to know?”
“Absolutely everything.” After Fluttershy said that, I could hear Twilight moan.
“Well, I started out as a cute little purple polka-dotted egg...”
I didn’t know what was Spike’s past exactly, so I kept the story broad enough so Twilight wouldn’t get suspicious, yet Fluttershy would still be interested.
“...and that's the story of my whole entire life!” I said. “Well, up until today. Do you want to hear about today?”
“Oh, yes please!” Fluttershy replied.
But before I could say anything to her, Twilight quickly turning around. I was annoyed at first, but then I noticed what was before my eyes. The Golden Oaks Library. I thought I would never see it again. It’s a shame what happened to it after Tirek came along.
Which reminded me. I should try to find a way to prevent Tirek from escaping Tartarus. Obviously, I couldn’t just put him down, as that would be too morbid. I’d have to think of something. I knew that when Cerebus escaped, Tirek wasn’t in Tartarus anymore. I’ll have to keep that in mind.
“....and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep,” Twilight said.
I quickly jumped off. “No I don’t!” I rebutted. Twilight then bumped me with her flank, knocking me down.
Ow. At least she didn’t buck me off this time.
“Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance!” Twilight said. I was less than amused.
“Poor thing.” Fluttershy picked me up. “You simply must get into bed.” She flew into the library. Twilight quickly released me from her grip and pushed her out.
“Yes, yes. We’ll get right on that. Well, goodnight!” Twilight slammed the door.
“Rude much, Twilight?” I asked.
“I’m sorry Spike. I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light?”
Suddenly the lights went on, followed by a bunch of ponies yelling, “Surprise!”
Then Pinkie jumped right in front of us.
“Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you!” She said. “Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?”
“Very surprised,” said Twilight. “Libraries are supposed to be quiet.”
Then Pinkie went on how boring quiet parties were and how we first met her. As she was talking, Twilight walked over to a table and poured herself a drink. I was confused why Twilight used her mouth instead of her magic. I think most of Twilight’s problems would’ve been solved if she’d remembered she had a horn. That’s when I noticed what Twilight was pouring.
“Uh, Twilight,” I said. “You’re pouring hot sauce.”
“Huh?” Twilight levitated the bottle and read it. “Oh, oops.” She grabbed a different bottle and another glass.
“See?” Pinkie continued. “Now you have lots and lots of friends.”
“Mm-hm.” Twilight pretended to listen as she drank from the glass.
“Why is there a bottle of hot sauce here, anyway?” I asked. I got my answer when Pinkie poured a bottle of it onto a cupcake before eating it. I was a bit grossed out by it.
“What?” Pinkie asked. “It’s good.”
Mm.
I'm so curious how this could go and the butterfly effect with each changed episode. Like, the main problem with stopping Tirek completely is that Discord won't fully learn his lesson/reform.
You know the more he tries to fix the worse it will get in the long run. He already made the life of that librarian worse without meaning to and now he is trying to find a way to change the things that big. Without tirek the box will never open and the crystal castle will never grow. The map will never be created and twilight won't know about starlight until it is too late.

And Discord...motherfcking Discord won't complete his first Arc.
Unless he plays out to be meta which I find can be pretty hit-or-miss, depending on the degree. He breaks the 4th wall (directly) once, and the rest of it is pop-culture references, so being extra meta for the sake of meta doesn't fit him too well. Perhaps DavidSpike could engage in a nice philosophical debate when/if the O&O thing happens. It'd probably help endear Discord towards him and ease the problems of that episode, as well as reinforcing the lesson about compromise and being mindful of the interests of others.
*snorts*

How so? I thought the implication the episode gave was that Dusty Pages retired on her own. Wasn't Twilight worrying about the book was just her being Twilight?

Yeah and honesty Twilight just forgetting EVERYTHING she had in Canterlot is just bad writing.

Well, seem I'll be going. Shame, but this isn't my type of story, though I do love the whole brony becomes spike idea.
seen - must be added
Waaay tooo shooorrrt chaptersss
10115615
Normaly i suspect the Author counting on that but this Author literally makes a half baked chapter and calls it a days work
10124103
Could work
Or backfire so hard it kills Equestria

To bad we cant expected something better here with the bare minimum that seem to be here...

Absolutely PRICELESS

Its a great idea. Perhaps some Author with creativity or capacity for actualy writing something new may i dare say out of the box thinking, write a story instead of a episode scene copy/paste commentary with ideas to improve a character.
She really never a baby dragon, but you probably missed "seen" or "met" there.
That's... lazy. No, seriously, lazy. You decided to include this dialog, but didn't want to come up with a dialog your character literally had there and skipped it entirely. It makes sense in a show where Spike is a secondary character, but that's not the case here. I actually curious in exact story he came up with on the spot which wasn't too short or too vague to feel suspicious, but wasn't too detailed for Twilight to notice inconsistencies.

The first chapters really need additional content & editing. I just finish passivly listen to the story. He will make world of difference in quality in length, detail and idea AFTER Nightmaremoon.
Maybe content get edited in later?
When I re-read the chapters after the latest updates I am like:
Or in English instead of german:

wtf mlp was on nick at one point
Still too scripted, only detected
a single differencetwo differences? Is new spike really so much of clone that he'll snark "well well well" at Twilight exactly as he did in the actual episode? Judging by the like ratio being over 1k, I can only hope the writing becomes more independent further down.11666475
trust me it does.
11666636
I'm trusting you on this
Good chapter, but it will get a lot better and more creative soon
Fuck Tirek... Kill that bucker. If he got his way, Equestria and other nations be nothing but livestock...
In my stories I will not show mercy to him unless I come up with good reasons to
Though sending Tirek away is a option, since he has his own Kingdom in the original series as I found out.
