Ch.1 Spike' s Decision

Sitting alone in the library of The Castle of Friendship, wearing a pair of black pants, with black shoes, and a white jacket over a black t-shirt (see cover picture for what it basically looks like) and stood at 5' 6" was Spike the Dragon, thinking about how Thorax and Ember had come to relax and to see him but now that he was by himself he couldn't help but think about how everypony he knew was important in some way. Ember was the Dragon Lord, Thorax was the new king of the changelings, Twilight had become the Princess of Friendship, the Council of Friendship consisted of Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash (who was also a Wonder Bolt), Pinkie Pie, and Rarity (who had a shop in almost all the major cities), Shinning Armor and Cadance ruled the Crystal Empire, Princess Celestia (who he always wanted to openly call her mom but couldn't because of the Nobles of Canterlot) and Princess Luna (who he called Aunt Luna when it was just them or them and mom) ruled over all of Equstria and rasied and lowered the sun and moon. Even SweetieBell, AppleBloom, and Scootaloo the CMC had started to help ponies find their cutie marks and find out what they ment. Besides helping save the Crystal Empire from Sombra he really didn't think that he'd had done much that stacked up to everypony else's acomplishments, in fact he felt out of place most of the time.

Spike tried to shake his head of thoughs thoughts but he couldn't and started to think about how his friends treated him sometimes. Rainbow Dash laughted at him for being weak, pranked him on a daily basis, and told him that he should leave the dangerous stuff to the adults. Pinkie Pie was always there to put a smile on his face, while she did prank him too she didn't do it on a daily basis, however some of her pranks could have caused some serious harm to him, like when he was sent into the pond during winter. Fluttershy didn't treat him like a child most of the time but she did treat him like one of her pets that couldn't help it's self out of bed in the morning. Applejack treated him like a friend most days but there where days that she treated him like a baby that couldn't do anything for himself, she also had the tendancy to be a little to honest at times, like when he wanted to help her and Big Mac with applebuck season and she told him that he wasn't strong enough to help in any way, he went home feeling really hurt.

Rarity used him to carry her bags whenever she was shopping or was going on a trip anywhere they went. She used him to dig up gems and when they were done shed only give him one or two. She used him to help out in her store whenever he was their, even though he had a crush on her a guy can only take so much before he can't take anymore. She also treated him like a baby. Than there was Twilight, his adopted big sister, the one he would do almost anything to help her with whatever she was doing, treated him almost like a slave most of the time since they moved into the Castle of Friendship. Spike clean this, Spike organize that, Spike if you don't do all your chores than no gems for a week. He did whatever she wanted when she wanted it done and almost never got a thank you for it or a few days off, he loved her like a sister but half the time he didn't know if she saw him only as her #1 assistant or as a little brother too. She always treated him like a baby too, even though HE WAS 16, he was conserted a legal adult in Equestrian society.

"Why so glum Spike?" asked Discord who stood at an impressive 10ft. and was wearing a pair of black shoes, tan pants, a yellow dress shirt, a brown plaid vest, and a dark brown Blazer. https://ss2sonic.deviantart.com/art/Time-Skip-MLP-Discord-302374088

"(hevy sigh) Nothing Discord just thinking about somethings that have been bothering me for a little bit." said Spike with a hint of sadness that didn't go unnoticed by the chaos god.

"Do you want to talk about it, maybe somepony that can give you some friendly advice on what you want to do about it." Discord replied, though no one really noticed Spike and Discord actually became good friends after they had a guy night with Big Mac, no not just good friends, they consitered each other as one of the best friends you could have. So Discord felt he should try to help his friend in need.

"Well, I want to talk to Twilight, the girls, the princesses, Shinning Armor and Cadance about how I feel about all of them and how I want to start changing some aspects of my life but I'm scared about how they will all react to what I have to say and I don't no how I'm going to go about telling them. I just don't know what I'm going to do Discord." Spike said in almost a whisper.

Discord was at a lost for words about the information his friend had just told him and was trying to come up with something he could do to make him feel better and that is when a light bulb appeared over his head with a ding. "You could send a letter to Sunbutt and ask to bring everypony you want at the castle so that way you can say everything you want to them and I'll help you in anyway I can." He said with a grin and a happy tone.

Spike looked at Discord with surprise at the well thought out idea that he had and as he thought about it the idea was a pretty damn good one. With a smile working it's way onto his face at the thought of being able to say everything that he wanted to say to everypony he wanted to talk to all in one room.

"Discord your a genius, that would make this so much easier and with you helping me make sure it goes smoothly would be even better. You know, you can a very helpful friend when your not making a joke about everything and actually take something seriously." Spike said with a smile on his face.

"(gasp) I'll have you know that I don't take anything seriously and to say other wise is only serves a purpose if you want to confuse ponies." Discord said with moch annoyance. "But I'll always be there for you when you need me, even if I have to be a somewhat serious." He said with his own smile on his face. Spike walked over to the desk on the left side of the room, took out a scroll and a pen and began to write his letter to the princess.

Deaar PrinDear Mom

Hi it's Spike, I'm writting to you beacuse I have been thinking a lot today about everything that has happened over the last couple of years and have come to realize that I want certain things about my life to change. So I'd like it if you could have Aunt Luna, Shinning Armor, Cadance, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight meet with you in the thrown room in two days at 2 o'clock pm. I know that it's a little last minute but it is very important that everypony that I mentioned above is their. Discord and I will be there after everypony else is their, I know that this letter might be a little confuseing to you but I promise that this will effect us all.

Love,

Spike Solaris

Spike had made his decision, satisfied with the letter Spike rooled it up tied it off and with a quick whisp of green fire it was sent off. Spike turned around and started walking back to Discord and said, "Alright Discord this is what we're going to do...."
