The only way of getting stronger

Oh Spike.

Why?

I'm not letting you take Spike!

HOW COULD YOU!!!!

I love you.

AHH!!!!

With those final words Spike woke up in a cold sweat. He looked around the area and saw that he wasn't at Sweet Apple Acres, he was in the Evefree Forest, and Apple Bloom isn't with him. He got up and started walking around hoping to find Apple Bloom. He was walking for a couple of minutes until he finally spotted her, but something was wrong. She was sitting on the ground writing in the dirt. He called out to her hopping to get a response.

"Apple Bloom?" She turned around, saw him, and ran. "Wait! Apple Bloom!" He then started chasing after her, but what he didn't notice he stepped on her writing.

Curiosity didn't kill the cat, ignorance killed the Dragon.

*huff huff huff*

Spike is still chasing Apple Bloom in the Everfree. Apple Bloom quickly took a turn around a tree and Spike still chased after her. But he slamed right into something and fell over on his back. He turned his snout and looked up to see Princess Celsestia.

"Princess Celestia!" Spike said in shocked. Why was she doing here in the Everfree Forest? Spike bowed down to her. He then stood up and was about to ask her something until he saw that she looked angry. Her cold dead eyes were just staring at him while he shivered in fear. But he just shook off that feeling and asked.

"Uhm, Princess Celestia? Have you seen Apple Bloom anywhere? Also why do you look so angry?" Spike asked.

"This is the final time you shall breath the same air as me you filthy beast!" Celestia said as she brought out her sun sword. The sun sword was a sharp sword with the same design as her necklace on her sword.

"What do you mean Princess Celestia?" Spike asked as he was backing up. He tripped and fell on a root. Celestia started walking towards him asw she was levitating the sword over head.

"This is the final time I let another scaled covered monster roam in my kingdom." She then raised the sword high and then it quickly swung it at Spike

"Ah!!!" Spike said as he covered his face with his arms.

"ENOUGH!!!"

Then suddenly a bright flash appeared in front of Spike. Which were Celestia used to be now there's Luna.

"Princess Luna?" Spike asked cautiously.

"Don't worry dragon she's not here." Luna reassured him. "This all a dream, let me show you." Then with that her horn started to glow, a bright flashed. Spike oppened his eyes as he saw the dream barrier. The Cutie Mark Crusaders told him about it but he never seen it in pony or dragon. It was beautiful.

"Wow" Is all he can say.

"Follow me dragon I need to show you something." Luna said as she started to move around in the barrier. Spike followed her as he kept on starring in awe at his surroundings. There were dreams everywhere, from filly to mare and colt to stallion. He kept on following until 1 caught his eye, it was Apple Bloom's. She was in a room but wearing a wedding dress. She was looking at the ring around her neck and smiled.

"This must be Apple bloom's. But who does she want to marry?" Spike asked. He wanted to look into it more but Luna called.

"Come dragon we don't have much time." Luna said as she continue her way. Spike followed but turned his head on the screen to see Apple Bloom walking towards the door and opening. He could tell it was the pony she wanted to marry because she squealed in delight and jumped towards him. Spike couldn't make out who it is, but he could have sworn he had green eyes.

"Here we are young dragon." Luna said snapping Spike back to reality. In front on them was a large rectangular bow. Luna used her magic to open it and pulled our a sword.

"Whoa, easy there Luna I don't want trouble." Spike said as he started backing up. But for a strange reason he tripped.

"You know dragon you have a bad habit of tripping." Luna said as she levitated the sword in front of him. "Here, take this."

"Huh, what?" Spike took the sword and looked at it while he was holding it in his claws. He notices it was a sharp blade with claw marks on it. "Why are you giving me a sword?" Spike asked.

"No child i'm not giving you a sword, I'm giving you the Dragon sword." Luna corrected. "Now i know your wondering why i'm giving this to you well it was yours to begin with."

"What do you mean?" Spike asked.

"Well we don't have that much time and it's kinda personal." Luna said. She gave spike a scroll, "Give this to Twilight and you and I can talk about this if you want."

Spike examined the scroll it said that he was being taken away for a while on royal duties.

"You may take a friend that you trust enough to talk about the discussion if you want." Luna added. Then a bright light startled to appear.

"What's happening?" Spike asked covering his eyes.

"It seems like your waking up." Luna said. "Remember Spike show the scroll to Twilight if you want to talk more on the subject." She then started flying to the light, she flew higher and higher and higher until she was gone. Spike was left alone waiting to wake up. But it seems like he has a couple of seconds so he turned and started running towards Apple Bloom' s dream. He was about to make it until he woke up.
