When you wish upon a star.

In the town of Ponyville there was a lot of hustle and bustle for a what was considered to be a small town. In that town there was everything that a pony could need to live comfortably and it that town was a dragon named Spike. I was content with my life, assisting Twilight and her friends. Though if I were to be truthful with myself, I want to help more. I looked up at the stars and then back at the pony that I considered to be my mother. Who was sound asleep after a tough night of studying. Sometimes I wish I could help more with them, that’s me I’m Spike.

I liked looking at the stars, it makes me wonder sometimes about what could be out there. I’ll never tell Twilight though, hopefully she’ll never find out. I looked back out on the stars and smiled, then I saw an incredible sight. It was a shooting star! I saw it and closed my eyes making a wish. I wish I could help the girls more. When I opened my eyes I saw the same shooting star, getting a little too close. “That’s not a shooting star.” It’s a meteor! The meteor crashed in the Whitetail woods. I almost stumbled off the balcony. I ran over to Twilight and shook her yet she wasn’t budging. I knew the Whitetail woods was a popular camping ground and it was summer time, so it was almost a guarantee.

I had to go look to make sure that nopony was hurt! I ran off to the supply closet and grabbed a jacket, a first aid kit, and a flashlight. I ran out of the library and ran as fast as my legs could carry me then I tripped and fell. I got up, dusted myself off and grabbed my stuff double checking to make sure that none my stuff was broken or missing. Then I continued to the place where the meteor crashed. As I looked around I saw small fires and stomped them out before they could spread. Being a dragon had it’s perks, that meant an immunity to flames, lava, and magma.

“Hello? Is anypony there?” I asked with my voice raised. It seems like nopony was answering. I looked around some more and then I stumbled upon the point of impact. The crater that the meteorite had left and I peaked inside the crater. Looking at the meteorite it was…different.

I read a few astronomy books, mostly when I was bored and had read all my comics. Almost if not all of meteorites were rocks, but this looked to be made of metal. My curiosity getting the better of me I climbed over the lip of the upturned dirt and slid down into the crater. The metal meteorite then suddenly opened up and inside of it was……a wristwatch? That’s strange I reached out to touch it when the wristwatch suddenly came alive and jumped out at me!

It attached itself to my wrist and closed around my arm! “AAAAAHHHHH!” I shook my arm trying to get it off but it wouldn’t budge. “Uh oh, Twilight isn’t going to be happy about this.” Then I heard a noise come from the wristwatch and stared at it. It looked so weird, my curiosity overriding my logic I started to mess with the watch. It looked like it had buttons on it so naturally I pressed it. Then the center of the watch popped out and on its surface was a silhouette. “Huh?” I pressed down on the center to see if it would go back in and stay like that, oh how wrong I was.

There was another noise and then I felt myself changing, my body was becoming hotter and hotter, while my skin start to change into these clustered rock-like formations. It spread faster than I could imagine and before I knew it I had changed. I looked down to see that not only had I changed, but I grew taller. “Whoa!” Not only that, but my voice changed as well! I was looking all around my body to see that I had become like a mix of lava and fire. I looked in the shiny reflection of the metal meteorite and saw my face was different. I put one of my hands up to my face, which was now an never ending torrent of fire. When I heard the voice of someone familiar. It was the voice of Rainbow Dash.

“Hey I think I see something over here!”

I was almost about to call out when I realized something I didn’t look like myself. They might treat me hostile! I don’t want to fight my friends! I was panicking thinking of something to do or say that might convince them that it was me, but it was too late. I heard a collective gasp and when I turned around I saw my six best friends all looking at me. “Um……hi?”

“Get back girls this thing could be dangerous!” I heard Twilight say. That really hurt me, I know she can’t tell that it’s me but calling me a thing isn’t really nice.

I got up and climbed out of the crater. “Look, I’m not going to hurt any of you, there’s been a big misunderstanding!”

“Twilight, it’s an alien!” Rainbow Dash said. “What should we do?”

“I-I don’t know, I haven’t dealt with anything like this before!” Twilight said.

I took a step forward and the girls got into a defensive stance. “Don’t you dare make another move!” Applejack threatened.

I raised my hands up defensively when all of a sudden fire shot out of my hands and the girls had to split up to dodge it. “I didn’t mean to do that-” I was too late as Rainbow Dash charged forward at incredible speeds and I had to drop to the ground just to barely avoid getting hit.

“Think you can attack by surprise do yah hothead!?” Rainbow taunted from the sky. “I’ll show you not to mess with Rainbow ‘Danger’ Dash!” She charged again.

Twilight meanwhile had put a shield up and was looking at the fight when something caught her eye. It was a first aid kit, and not just any first aid kit. It was hers, there was also a flashlight there too! No wonder Spike was missing when the girls woke her up to investigate the crash, Spike had gotten here first! That alien must have done something to her baby! Twilight was pissed off now! She dropped the shield and shot at the alien with a magic stunning beam. “What did you do to my SON!?” She yelled while joining Rainbow in the fray.

Twilight thinks I did something to me! I got to show her that I’m Spike! Stupid watch, can’t you change me back!? I thought to myself as the symbol on my chest started to flash red and make a sound like it was shutting off! Then a red flash of light went off blinded both Twilight and Rainbow Dash. When they looked back to see where the alien had gotten off to, yet in it’s place was…...Spike!?
