Diamond Tiara has always loved Apple Bloom. However, she has never quite felt like she was worthy of having her feelings returned by the farm pony. And so, knowing not how to express herself, she pushed her away through bullying. Hay, she thought to herself, maybe it would make her unrequited love easier to handle. As time goes on, however, she discovers that couldn't be further from the truth.

Inside the mind of Spike, there are doubts, fear, indecision, and loneliness. He longs for his true love, Rarity, to be his; but unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. After a few years in solitude, he becomes a larger dragon whose size strikes fear into the hearts of Ponyville's citizens. (It doesn't take long for dragons to grow). Full of memories and sadness, he trudges away to Mount Dragon to live the rest of his life away. But something in his heart is calling him; beckoning him. He wants to give in, he wants to return; yet his inner concious tells him to only leave for food. He refuses to leave - until one day, he hears a familliar scream...

Author's notes:
If you're all going to favorite this, could you also take the time to hit the "Like" button as well? I like the amount of people that are adding this to his or her favorites, but I don't understand why the "likes" are so low if the favorites are so high.
I'm not looking for constructive critism. Don't give me any, if you please. I'm all for voicing opinions, but don't tell me what I should or shouldn't change. Writing stories is my downfall, but in this story, I just let my writing take control. Your opinions are valued, but I refuse to take orders.
If you want something to "help" with, look at my other story, Rarity's Little Disaster.

Spike the Dragon is a long time resident of Ponyville and in this town are his best friends, The Elements of Harmony. This group has been through everything together, good and bad and their friendship has grown into an unbreakable bond, or so Spike thought.

Through a unforeseen event, Spike is sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit and the bond of friendship he thought he had was nothing more than a illusion of his heart. With his world shattered and nothing left for him to live for, one being changes that and gives Spike a new desire to live and that is for power and revenge.

This story takes place after the events of Season 4, Twilight's battle with Tirek.

Trixie has been down on her luck ever since she used the Alicorn Amulet. Considered by many as a laughing stock and a monster, her career as a showmare has been ruined, making her became poor and depressed. But through some unfortunate events, she ended up back in Ponyville where she's forced to stay with her self-proclaimed sworn enemy; Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight is actually happy to have her living with her. Then why does Trixie hate her? And why is she blaming Twilight for her misfortunes?

It's only been a few moons since Spike moved to Ponyville, and the settled zone hasn't quite gotten used to having a dragon around, any more than his sister has become accustomed to managing all the duties of a small town library. So while she sorts out late fee notices, he's expected to work the front desk and speak to patrons. Ponies who don't know how to talk to him. Ponies who seem to be having a hard time even looking at him. So when Twilight finally sends him to collect a book from a truly unresponsive patron, it's almost a relief.

Except that the pony isn't there. Will never be there again.

And just about nopony seems to care if she was ever there at all.

This was actually requested by my housemate to write. I'm not usually a shipper of DerpyDash, but I sat down and racked my brain for a good minute before I finally came up with the perfect plot. Now this, like a few other of my fics, have dark situations so if you are easily triggered. Stay away from this.
