Chapter 1
Starting a New Year

A ten year old boy was walking down the sidewalk. He wore a purple hooded jacket with a green T-shirt underneath it. His hair was spiked green and eyes matching the color. His name was Spike. A genius boy who got accepted to college. He stops facing towards a bar gate with a two letter word on it. EU. Equestria University. Spike gazed upon its glory. Behind the gate was a field that almost looked like a park. And buildings that were bigger than regular school buildings. Spike took a deep breath as he opens the gate. He enters the university with excitement.

"This is it," Spike said to himself. "I've come this far and now I'm ready. I wonder if I'll make any friends here. Considering I'm the youngest here around. Oh that's right! I need to meet the principals before I get started."

Spike took out a piece of paper he received in the mail a couple of days ago. It told him that he was welcome in Equestria University and told him where to meet the three principals. He found the building and enters. It didn't took him long enough to find the room. In the room was Celestia, Luna, and Chrysalis. They all sat behind a wide desk.

"And who might you be?" Celestia asked kindly.

"Hi, I'm Spike," he greeted himself. He took out a letter and handed them. "I'm here because you sent me this letter."

"Yes. You're the one who's the over achiever in middle school?" Celestia asked.

"Not only that, but also high school," Luna added.

"That quite impressive, I might add," Celestia was actually impressed. "High scores. Straight A's. Good Behavior."

"Aw! Stop it!" Spike shyly scratch the back of his head. He then remembered something. "Oh, yeah! When do I start being a student?"

"In just a week," Chrysalis spoke. "Make sure you bring everything you need. Since you'll be staying here for the whole semester."

"I already taking care of that," Spike said, getting excited. "I can't wait to start! I hope I get to see you again. Bye!"

Spike walks out of the room. It was quiet for a sec when Chrysalis broke it.

"HHHAAAAAAAAAAAA! He's so adorable!" Chrysalis cried out, turning her eyes into heart shapes.

Celestia and Luna looks over to her swaying as hearts flew around. The two had sweat drops running down.

"Since when do you find anything adorable?" Luna asked.

Chrysalis hearts were broken when Luna interrupted. She had a mean look on her face.

"I don't! He just caught me off guard, is all!" she went back blushing, thinking about Spike. "I never seen such a cute boy in my life. Have you ever seen boys with puppy dog eyes?"

As she continues with her fantasy, Celestia chuckled. She leans resting her chin on her hands.

"I think this semester will be interesting, don't you think, Luna?" she asked.

"I would say so," Luna answered, watching Celestia giggling.

"We never had a very young intelligent student here before," Celestia went on. "I read his file that the reason why he's making good grades was because he didn't had much friends."

"You think he'll make friends here?" Luna sked. "He's only ten."

"I say he'll be just fine here," Celestia said.

A week later, all the students and councils were everywhere with luggage, boxes, and much more. They moved into their dorms for the semester. Outside were stands with different classes: choir, rodeo, chess club, arts and craft, band, everything there is to it. Spike was astonish. Standing in the middle of everything that goes on around him made him feel happy. He decided to take a tour of his own.

"This is exciting! I feel like one of them," Spike chuckled. "Okay, Spike! This year will be different. Way different. I'm in a university filled with grownups. It's time to become one of them!"

He accidentally bump into someone. Spike and a girl both fell down. The box she carried was filled with trophies and ribbons. Her name was Rainbow Dash. She wore a blue jacket like Spike is wearing with a thunderbolt rainbow shirt. She also wore blue jeans and sneakers. Her hair was a mess and is dyed in a rainbow pattern.

"Sorry, kid. Didn't see you there," she said to Spike. She got up and helped him up. "You lost or something?"

Spike stares at her. He made it awkward for her. Then he blushed without warning. He quickly notices and through his hood over his head.

"S-S-Sorry! I-I…" Spike stuttered.

"It's okay, kid. Really," she said as she squats down. "You're just shy, aren't you?"

"No!" Spike said looking away.

"Come on! It's okay being shy around women," she headlocks him, pulling him closer to her.

"Stop it!" Spike struggles for freedom.

Rainbow Dash laughs, letting him go. He still has his hood up.

"I like you already," she said.

"You barely know me," Spike said.

"Anyway, what are doing here?"

"I'm becoming a student here like you are," Spike answers. Rainbow Dash cracked up laughing thinking it was a joke. "It's not funny, it's true!"

"How can a ten year old become a student in a University?" she continues laughing.

Spike turns red. Not a shy way, a furious way. He notice the trophies she had. All was first place trophies.

"What are the trophies for?" he asked, removing his hood.

Rainbow Dash stops laughing. She stood back up with a serious expression. Her eye twinkled. Spike thought he said something wrong. Till Rainbow Dash showed him her club.

"Behold! The Sports Club!" she shows him a stand filled with all kinds of sports there is.

"You're in a sports club?" Spike asked.

"That's right! I am the number one sport player!" she shouted making poses. "Baseball! Football! Soccer! Basketball! Tennis! Track! Swimming! Martial Arts! Croquet! I am literally the Goddess of Sports!"

Spike was amazed. He too played soccer as well. He suddenly remember why he was here.

"That's amazing and all, But I have to go check in a dorm," Spike took off running while Rainbow Dash continued to brag on. "I hope we get meet each other again!"

At a line was filled with grownups and teens. Spike felt embarrassed. Some folks was looking at him thinking he was at the wrong place. Spike lowers his head hiding his blush.

"Okay, Spike. No big deal," he spoke in his head. "Just fill out the paper work, go to the dorm, and explain the situation. I'm sure one of the principals is around here telling everyone about me being in the University."

Behind him, people were getting shoved aside. Three trouble makers cut in line. A skinny student, and small student, and a big buff student. The skinny one had an emo black hair wearing a black and red stripe sleeve shirt with a grey vest. The short student has short yellow hair and a black leather jacket. The big student had five small spikes; the design of a Mohawk. His hair is dyed dark-blue and wears a grey shirt. The sleeves wore torn off showing his tattoos and muscle.

"Out of our way!" Rover said.

"Coming through!" Spot spoke.

"Make way! Make way!" Fido pushes them.

"This is fantastic! A new year means new students to mess with," Rover said, with his arms behind his head. "Spot, what's or agenda for today?"

"Nothing much? Just enough room to show people whose boss around here," Spot said, with his notebook out.

"Let's show these weaklings! I'm itching to beat up someone," Fido cracks his knuckles.

"In good time, Fido. For now, let's get things settled," Rover said.

He stops all of a sudden when he notice Spike was blocking his way. Spike turns around seeing the three looking down at him. Rover had a ticked off look on his face.

"Who are you, you little squirt," Rover asked.

"I'm, Spike, nice to meet you," Spike put out his hand, offering a handshake.

Rover looks at Spike's hand. He was getting irritated.

"Who does he think he is?" Rover said in his head.

"Anyway, I got to get my schedule and dorm situated," Spike turns back in front of the desk.

"Hold it kid! Do you know who you're talking to?" Rover cried out. Deep inside him, another part of him was grinning. "This is it. Time to show these clowns what I'm capable of… My name is Rover! These two are my pals: Fido and Spot. Together, we are known as The Diamo-"

"Alright! I got a dorm to myself!" Spike cried out, cheering.

"He's not even paying attention to me!" Rover shouted in his head.

"And the schedules aren't that bad."

"He's still ignoring me!" Rover cried out. He rushes over to him, lifting him up by the collar. "Listen, you brat! Do you realize who you're messing with?"

Spike was confused. He was speechless of what to say next.

"Did… Did you just say…?" Spike stuttered.

"Finally. It seems to me this kid already knows who we are," Rover inside him sad madly.

"Did you just say something? I was busy getting my schedule sorted out," Spike spoke, finishing his sentence.

A gust of wind blew across Rover's face. He then drops his head moaning in shame. He set Spike down and walks away. He got on his knees and set his hands on the grass. A dark mood was over him with sadness.

"I'm no good for a Diamond Dog," Rover sadly said. "Maybe it just wasn't meant to be."

"Don't say that, Rover!" Spot supported him.

"Yeah! We can just teach that squirt a lesson and two!" Fido added.

"It's 'Lesson OR two', Fido," Spot corrected him.

"You guys are right," Rover sniffs his tears way he jumps back into action turning back around at Spike. "We'll teach that squirt not to mess with The Diamond Dogs!"

"What a couple of weirdos," Spike was already walking off the moment he felt sorrow. "I gotta find my dorm as soon as possible."

Rover remain still in his pose. Birds were chirping around them. People was shocked by the scene they just made.

"Did you saw that? That kid stood up against The Diamond Dogs," a student spoke, making Rover grew a vein.

"I heard he's a new student here in Equestria University," another spoke, causing another vein pop up on Rover's head.

"Wow! He must be really smart for a kid of his age," another spoke.

Rover grew multiple of veins getting madder and madder. He started to shake his whole body filling up his anger. He yells out with rage. Everyone screams, running away from him of fear.

"That little Bastard is done for! How dare he embarrass me in front of everyone?" Rover shouted furiously. "From this day on, we're going to beat him up throughout this semester!"

"He' really scary when he's pissed off," Spot said backing up afraid. Fido was hiding behind Spot while nodding his head, agreeing with him.

During Spike's short quest of finding his room. He enters a hallway filled with just doors. He searches for his room number: ROOM 214. He look left to right seeing he was getting closer. The numbers kept rising up the further he goes. Finally he found the room. He smiles with glee. He bashes the door open. An empty room. He spotted a bed and jumps on it. He sighs happily, finally got a room of his own.

"This is great! I can't wait to start this week," Spike said, thinking of all the things he could do over the semester. "But it's going to be difficult though. I have to live on my own. Perhaps I should started finding a job to make a bit of cash."

There was a knock on the door. Spike sat up. He wasn't expecting anyone to come. The doorknob turns. It opens revealing Twilight Sparkle in her purple school uniform. Her uniform was a white button sleeve shirt with a light purple vest buttoned and a purple tie. Her purple skirt showed her naked knees and white stocking. Her hair hangs all the way down behind. She stops to see Spike in the room.

The two took a moment gathering their thoughts together. They both wipe their eyes thinking it was their imagination. They continued to look at each other. Finally they started to sweat and slowly turn their faces into shocking expressions as they gasp for air. They started screaming that everyone outside the building could heard their cry.

"What are you doing in my room!" they both shouted, pointing at each other. "Your room?" They were both confused. "Yes my room!" they went back arguing to one another.

"This is the girl's dorm! What are you doing here?" Twilight shouted.

"My schedule told me this was my dorm room!" Spike shouted back.

"Didn't you look closer at it?" she took her paper out hitting it. "It initials GD! Meaning Girl's Dorm!"

"My room number is 204!" Spike bangs on the door showing the number. "You're clearly mistaken!"

"Why would a ten year old jerk be doing at a University?" Twilight got onto his face.

"I got accepted by the three principals!" Spike got onto her face. "Is there a problem with that?"

The two angrily look into their eyes. They growled, about to start a fight. Another girl enters the room. She saw the two with darkness around them. She wore a pink shirt and a pink miniskirt. Her hair is pink and swirly.

"I didn't know I have two roommates!" she shouted happily.

"!" The two stops fighting and turn to her.

"Pinkie? You're my roommate?" Twilight said.

"Hiya! I'm Pinkie Pie!" she greeted.

"Another girl?" Spike spoke, blushing.

"HA! I told you this is the girl's dorm!" Twilight snaps at him.

"If this is the girl's dorm, then that means…" Spike started to blush even redder.

"That's right! You're in a building filled with females," Pinkie said. She saw Spike threw his hood over his head hiding his blush. The two stood there wondering why he did that. "What was that about?"

"Nothing! I'm just embarrassed, is all!" Spike turns away from them.

"Look, I know how you feel, but you're in the wrong grade school," Twilight chuckled.

"I am not! Look what the principals sent me," Spike showed the two the letter he received the other day. The two looks closely at it. Twilight was surprised what she was reading.

"You've got accepted here?" Twilight asked.

"I just told you that, didn't I?" Spike cried out.

"You must be really smart," Pinkie said. "Maybe even smarter than Twilight."

"I highly doubt that," she said, doubting Pinkie. She sighs and bows to Spike. "Sorry if I misjudged you."

"That's okay. As long as we got this situated, we're perfectly fine," Spike accepted her apology. "So, where's my dorm?"

"Aren't you supposed to be apologizing to me now?" Twilight thought. She again sighs. "It's right across from our building. You can't miss it."

"Thanks a ton. Before I forget, my names Spike," he said.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle. And this is Pinkie Pie," Twilight introduced.

"Hey! Why don't you come have a party with us," Pinkie spoke.

"PINKIE!" Twilight yelled at her. She was already irritated enough.

"A party?" Spike asked.

"Yeah! We're celebrating for getting accepted in Equestria University. You have to come," Pinkie was excited.

"I don't know," Spike scratcher the back of his head.

"But there is one rule," Pinkie held up her finger. "You have to show your face to everyone."

Spike was a little worried. If he shows his shyness to everyone, he thinks they're going to laugh at him. Or worse.

"I guess I could come," Spike said.

"Hooray!" Pinkie launched a hug at him. She tighten her arms around his neck smothering him with her breast. Spike turned redder even more. "This is going to be fun! We'll play games, stay up late, talk about each other, and watch scary movies…"

She continues hugging Spike. Twilight watches him being suffocating.

"Pinkie, I think you should let go of Spike. You're choking him," Twilight said.

Later that day, night fell. Spike was walking down the hallway back in the girl's dorm. He could hear girl's giggling and chattering. He lowered his head down blushing a bit. He shook his head trying to wipe the blush off of him.

"Get it together, Spike!" he said to himself. "This may not be what you expected. Everyone makes mistakes on their first day. To think I make friends with three girls in one day. I need some guy friends. Maybe I'll have a chance to make some guy friends at the party. At least I won't blush in front of everyone."

He saw the room #204. The same place where Twilight was staying in. He took a deep breath as he enters the room.

"Let's get this party started!" he cried out. He around the room seeing Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and three other girls. Spike stood still staring at them. Soon he started to blush bright red. He quickly threw his hood up hiding.

"I told you not to hide your face!" Pinkie told him.

"No way. This kid is the new kid?" Rainbow Dash points out. "I thought you were joking."

"Spike, you can't hide your face to everyone you know," Twilight spoke.

"It's fine, dear, he's just a bit shy is all," a fancy girl spoke, sitting on the bed. Her name is Rarity. A girl with expensive clothing. She wore a white sleeve shirt with purple shorts and a big white buckle around her waist.

"Can't be shyer than Fluttershy, that's for sure," a girl with a country accent was sitting in a chair, leaning back. Her name is Applejack. Wearing a button up orange shirt with a brown vest over it. She wore short jeans and cowgirl boots.

"He look so adorable. It's okay to show your face, young man," a quiet girl sat on the floor on the carpet. Her name is Fluttershy. A shy girl who wears a short yellow dress and white stockings.

Spike tucks his hood farther down. Rainbow Dash walks up to him grabbing his hood. Pinkie grabs his hand and pulls him next to her. She got him in a headlock with his hood still up.

"No matter. We're all here, so let's get started!" Pinkie cried out.

"Hang on, Pinkie," Applejack stops her, bringing her mood down a bit. "We have to introduce the new kid first."

"I'll go first," Rarity spoke as she clears her throat. "Hi, my name is Rarity. And I make clothes for a living."

Rainbow Dash threw a pillow at her face. The pillow slid down showing Rarity her angry look at her.

"The kid doesn't want to hear about clothing, Rarity. He wants to talk about manly stuff," Rainbow Dash said. "Remember me, kid? The names Rainbow Dash. We met at the club stands."

"Oh, yeah! You do all sorts of sports," Spike said, as his blush went away.

"See, he is interested."

"Actually, I'm just interested in soccer. Sorry."

"As long as you're interested into a sport, that's fine with me."

"Enough about sports, it's my turn to introduce to Sugarcube over here," Applejack tips her hat at him. "Names Applejack, partner. I work at Apple Acres. I grow apple trees for a livin'. Also I farm, do the choirs, and all sorts of country stuff."

"Not to mention, she's my roommate," Rarity whispers to him.

"I can hear you from here, Rarity."

"I guess I'll go next," Fluttershy spoke very shyly. She blushed looking over to Spike, who also blushed. "I'm sorry! I get nervous with new people."

"Fluttershy is a shy person, but once you get to know her, she a kind person," Twilight said. "She loves animals. And I mean all kinds of animals."

"Thank you, Twilight," Fluttershy said quietly, fiddling her fingers.

"And I'm Pinkie Pie, as you already know," Pinkie said, still holding Spike with a headlock. "I like to make people laugh and create parties like no other."

"And you already met me," Twilight said. "I'm the smartest person around like you are, I guess."

"That's what I heard," Rarity spoke. "You must be really smart for your age."

"I don't get out much," Spike said nervously.

"Well, how about it," Applejack spoke. "Let's hear about you then."

Spike lowers his head with a sad look. The girls stood quiet. Waiting for him to speak.

"Not much to say, really," Spike said. "My name is Spike. I don't have a lot of friends, I'm a bit shy around girls, and I guess I am a genius because I got accepted."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll make friends," Twilight said.

"Twilight, what are you talking about? We're his friends," Applejack said. Spike head lifted confused. "Don't you see, Spike, you're already making friends. Friends talk about each other."

"Yeah, Spike. Like you said, let's get this party started!" Pinkie shouted. The friends cheered as they began the night.

They played games as promised. Watch movies. After that, they rested in their pajamas with their favorite color. It wasn't midnight yet. Spike had fun. But the fun wasn't over yet.

"Let's play another game," Rarity said.

"We already played games, Rarity," Dash said, moaning as she sleeps.

"We should play two new games to finish the night off."

"What games are that?" Fluttershy asked.

"We should play Truth or Dare," she suggested.

"What's the other game you're thinking of?" Spike asked.

"Spin the Bottle!" Rarity held up a glass bottle happily.

"I rather play Truth or Dare," Spike said, with a sweat drop on his head.

"Okay, Truth or Dare it is then," Applejack said.

"I'll go first! I love this game!" Pinkie shouted with her hand up. "Spike, Truth or Dare."

Spike hesitated. He wasn't aware he was getting picked on first.

"Uh… Dare," he said without thinking.

"I dare you not to wear your jacket off for the whole night," she said.

"That's it? No problem," Spike took his jacket off.

"My turn, if that's kay with you guys," Fluttershy spoke. "Um… Spike. Truth or Dare."

Spike was feeling odd about this. He got picked again. He already did dare, so he went for truth.

"Truth," he answered.

"Is it true that you never kissed a girl?"

"What kind of question is that?" Spike blushed. He looks down, trying hard not to blush too hard. He didn't like where this was going. "N-No. Not really."

"I'm sorry! That came out wrong!" Fluttershy panics.

"Then why did you say it?" Twilight said to herself.

"Okay, Spike, Truth or Dare," Rarity said.

"Why are you guys asking me?" Spike asked.

"That's part of the rules, kid," Dash said in the bed.

"Fine. I choose dare," Spike grunts, crossing his arms.

"I dare you…" Rarity crawls up to Spike's face. "To kiss me."

The sound stood quiet around Spike. He could hear nothing. Then out of nowhere, he blushed red.

"WHAT?!" he cried out.

"You have to kiss Rarity!" Twilight giggled.

"This is ridiculous! I can't kiss a girl older than me!" Spike shouted. He scooted back against the bed away from Rarity's lips.

"Fine, you want truth?" Dash asked.

"Yes! I want truth instead of dare!" Spike said. He felt two arms wrapping above him. Dash grabs over him while she rested her breast on his head.

"Is it true you're bashful around older women?" Dash teased him as she tucks him in closer to her.

Spike was blushing madly now. He want to cover his face, but he took the jacket off.

"Look at him blush! I'll take that as a yes," Pinkie said.

"Twilight, do something!" Spike begs, trying to free himself from Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash, Truth or Dare," she asked.

"Dare, of course," she responded.

"Finally, someone else get to go," Spike sighs of relief.

"I dare you to hold Spike down and forcefully kiss Spike," she said.

"TWILIGHT!" Spike shouted at her angrily.

"You're the one who intrude my in the first place. This is pay back."

"You monster!"

"Alright, kid," Dash hops off the bed as she slid behind Spike smoothly. Spike shivered as he blushed madly – feeling her arms wrapping around his waist. She lowers her down next to his ear whispering to him. "Ready for your first kiss, big boy?"

"This is crazy!" he cried out struggling. He felt her legs wrapping around him. He was now locked in place where he can't escape. She grabs his chin and grins at him.

"Get ready," she leans in for a kiss. The two smacks a kiss. Spike moaned feeling her warm lips against his. The girls were all shocked. Especially Rarity – who was heartbroken. She finally breaks the kiss and releases Spike. All of a sudden he started to nose bleed. He leans to the side landing on the ground passing out.

"Rainbow Dash! You killed him!" Fluttershy screamed.

"That kiss was too much for the poor kid!" Applejack gasps.

"Hold on a minute! I was dared to do so by Twilight!" Dash points at her.

"Me? It was a joke! I didn't knew you were actually do it!" Twilight gasps.

"Stay with me, Spike! Stay with Rarity!" Rarity cried over him.

"This party was a blast! Let's do that again sometime," Pinkie happily said.

"SHUT UP, PINKIE!" the girls shouted at her.

"Sorry," Pinkie said.

The girls started to panic thinking Spike was dying. The next morning, Spike was in bed in a unfamiliar room. He was in a white gown. He also notice a package of blood hanging beside his bed, with a tube flowing with blood. He got up seeing the girls in the patient room feeling bad.

"What happen?" Spike asked, still tired from blood loss.

"You lost a lot of blood," a nurse said, holding a clipboard. Her name tag says 'Redheart' on it. "But thankfully a few of your friends donated blood. You have a nice rest."

She walks out of the room leaving him and the girls. Spike looks over to them seeing their guilty faces. Spike was about to say something, but Fluttershy spoke first.

"WE'RE SO SORRY, SPIKE!" Fluttershy gave him a hug, crying.

"Yeah, bud. Sorry for making you lost blood and all," Dash said, feeling bad.

"…That's okay," Spike spoke very weakly.

"HUH?!" the girls all said.

Spike chuckled. Knowing they were going to be confused.

"For the first time in my life, this is the most fun I had," Spike said. "I just want to say thank you."

"Well, I'm glad you're not mad and all, but why aren't you mad?" Twilight asked.

Spike tilt his head to them smiling.

"Because we're friends," he said. The girls smiled back at him. "Just promise you won't do that to me again."

"Of course," the girls said laughing.

It was at that moment when Spike realized this semester could be interesting. For the first time in his life, he made friends.
