Spike, what have you done...

Foreword: Took me freaking forever to figure out a name for Jeremy, seeing as how a new name would be needed for his new life. At the beginning, he will be called Jeremy, as that is what he's used to back on Earth.

Jeremy couldn't remember what happened, but all he knew was that he was laying on the floor, with voices nearby. If he heard correctly, a Spike was talking to someone called Lyra. He opened his eyes to see that he was lying on a wooden floor in the middle of what looked like a small house. He groaned, which immediately stopped the voices he heard earlier. Very slowly, he pushed himself up into a sitting position and looked around, immediately noticing a small seafoam green horse, no wait. It was too small to be a horse, so it had to be a pony. He saw a seafoam green pony and what looked to be like a purple lizard. They seemed to be staring at him with looks of incredulity on their faces, and he was wondering why.

Very slowly, he looked down at his arms, noticing they were almost completely covered in crimson scales. He was shocked by the sight, but he was even more shocked to hear the seafoam green pony say, "Um, hello?"

The shock of seeing himself covered in scales, and the fact that it seemed like the pony had talked, were too much for Jeremy. He passed out, landing hard on the wooden floor.

Spike and Lyra both looked up after the flash had filled the room. They saw what looked to be a dragon lying face down on the floor. The only problem was, it wasn't completely covered in scales. It was obviously not a dragon, and that much scared Lyra a little. She started to send it back to where it came from before Spike leapt up yelling, "No! Don't send him back just yet!"

"Spike, I don't know what that thing is, but that's not a dragon. Also, how do you know it's a he?"

"Read the first paragraph."

"Wait what? Oh god, you better not be turning into another Pinkie Pie," Lyra states as she face-hoofs once more.

"Still, he doesn't look like a normal dragon, so maybe that's good news. Maybe he's friendly. Come on Lyra, give him a chance."

"Spike, I still don't think it's a good idea to keep it here, what if-"

But Lyra was interrupted as the creature groaned, and slowly picked itself up off the ground. It looked at itself, then around the house, before finally noticing Spike and Lyra.

"Um, hello?"

The creature stared at her, clearly in some sort of shock, before it collapsed onto the floor.

"See Lyra, it didn't try to attack us, so that must mean it's peaceful."

"Maybe, but it clearly wasn't expecting what it saw when it looked around. It looked especially shocked after it looked at itself."

Spike and Lyra waited for another ten minutes before Lyra suddenly bolted upright before exclaiming, "Oh no, I forgot that Bon Bon doesn't know what we were planning to do! If she comes down here now and see this thing passed out on the floor, she's going to freak!"

"Hey, easy Lyra, easy. How about you go upstairs and explain to Bon Bon what happened while I stay here and watch over our guest."

"Yea, yea that sounds like a good plan. Thanks Spike, I'll be right back after I explain to Bon Bon what's happened."

She ran upstairs to the bedroom, and as soon as Spike heard the door close, the creature opened its eyes.

"Oh man, I could've sworn I heard that colorful pony talking to me. Must've been a dream."

"Actually, it wasn't a dream, but you did pass out."

Jeremy froze before turning around to face the little lizard from earlier. "Did you just talk?"

"Of course I can talk, all dragons can."

Jeremy looked at him with a blank expression before trying to clean out his ears and saying, "I'm sorry, did you just say you're a dragon?"

"Yea, I said I'm a dragon, and so are you."

"No, I'm a human. How can you say I'm a dragon when..."

He stopped, remembering the scales on his arm. "Hey, you don't suppose you could get me a mirror, could you?"

"Yea, but what do you need it for?"

"Just get me a mirror quick."

While Spike went to grab a mirror, Jeremy could hear shouting from upstairs.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU SUMMONED A DRAGON!? DON'T YOU KNOW THAT'S DANGEROUS?"

"Bon Bon, calm down, people are going to hear you. It's okay, Spike found a method of containing it before we summoned it. Everything's all right, but it doesn't seem hostile. In fact, it seemed almost scared of me when I said hello."

After that, he couldn't hear anything, as their voices seemed to have dropped to what he thougt were whisper levels. He turned his attention back to the kitchen once he heard Spike's feet thumping along the wooden floor.

'Wait a minute. I can hear his footsteps? That's odd.'

Spike came out the kitchen, holding a decent sized handheld mirrior in his right claw.

"I still don't see why you need a mirror."

Jeremy looked into the mirror, and screamed at what he saw. He was now almost completely covered in scales, although parts of him like his midsection, head, and shoulders were still flesh. He had claws on each hand and wings on his back, which he extended with ease to the surprise of Spike. He also saw he had a tail, which like the wings felt like just another extension of his body, even though he knew for a fact that he had never had wings or a tail. He then looked at his teeth, which were now shiny white and very sharp, as well as his new pointed ears. 'So that's how I was able to hear this little guy coming. These ears must be extremely sensitive, and able to pick up sounds better than my human ears could.'

No sooner had he finished his evaluation of his new body, then Lyra and Bon Bon came galloping down the stairs. They stared at him, examining his new body in the mirror before Lyra spoke up.

"See Bon Bon, he doesn't seem to be hostile. By the way Spike, why are you holding up that mirror for it."

"He asked me to go grab it."

"Wait, he can talk? Fascinating."

At this Bon Bon finally cut in, "Well Lyra, are you sure you have it contained? I don't like the look of it."

"Relax Lyra, Spike here taught me a spell to contain him in a limited area."

Jeremy perked up at this, staring around him. He didn't see anything, and reached towards the mirror, so he could geta better look at himself, but his hand met a solid surface about a foot in front of his face. He looked at the invisible wall questioningly. He didn't like it that he was being caged like a wild animal, and decided to test out his new body.

He reached forward and tapped the barrier a couple of times, testing to see if it made a sound or not, like it would if you rapped your fist on a pane of glass. When it did make a sound, it sounded almost like that, but something was off. After that, he tried gently clawing at the barrier to see if his sharp claws would do anything. After a few swipes, he looked to see that he hadn't made a dent in the barrier. He turned to the one he heard was called Lyra and spoke up.

"Lyra right?"

Lyra looked back at him, confused at how he knew her name.

"Yes, how did you know my name?"

"I heard the little one call you that while I was still gaining consciousness. I also heard her," pointing at Bon Bon, "yelling at you upstairs."

Bon Bon and Lyra blushes.

"We were really that loud, huh?"

"Oh yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a neighbor heard the commotion. You do have neighbors right? We're not out in the middle of nowhere or anything, are we?"

"No, we do have neighbors."

"Okay, well anyways, getting back on topic. Could you please lower the barrier so I can have room to stretch. It's getting kind of cramped in here, " he said while trying to extend his wings, punctuating the fact that he was feeling confined.

"Well you see, Spike only told me how to perform it, not how to take it down. Spike, do you know how to take it down?"

Spike's face blanched before respinding, "Uhh, sorry Lyra. I only remember the spell used to put it up. Maybe Twilight still has the book, and I can go grab it."

Before Spike made it out of the living room, Jeremy spoke up.

"Nah, it's okay little guy. Let me try to get out myself before you rush off and bother your friend."

Jeremy stood up, thinking of the best way to break out of his invisible cell. He closed his hand into a fist, and tried punching the invisible wall. When that didn't work, he tried again and again, sure that soon enough, he would cause a crack.

After what felt like an hour and 100 punches later, Jeremy began to get annoyed. He glared at the invisible wall seperating him from freedom, and tried clawing at the barrier, willing it to shatter. To his immense surprise, and the surprise of everyone else in the room, his claws glowed with a black aura as he sliced across the barrier before it shattered.

"Wha- How did you do that?" asked the awe struck Spike.

"I don't know, let me see if I can do it again."

He focused on his rigth hand, wanting to see a dark aura again, but nothing came. He swiped at the air multiple times, but nothing happened.

"Huh, I guess I just got lucky is all, 'cause I can't seem to do it again."

"Well, while I'd love to ask you a few questions, I believe that our neighbors might be coming over soon to find out why we were screaming. We need to think of a place that we can hide while we discuss things."

The group sat there in silence, thinking, while Jeremy just looked around the room, taking in all the details. Finally Lyra's face lit up before saying, "I got it! You could hide in Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack just started harvesting the crop, and if you hide near the far end of the orchard, then you should be safe, away from prying eyes for quite a while. The one problem is, how to get you there without anypony seeing you."

"Wait a minute Lyra, if he can fly, maybe he can hide in the clouds until he reaches Sweet Apple Acres. You can fly right?"

"No idea, but I can try." At this, he spread his wings out and started to flap them. It took him a while to get the rhythm down, but once he did, he could easily control himself.

"All right, what you're going to want to do is head over to Sweet Apple Acres. It's the farm just east of here with a huge orchard out back. You're going to need to fly through the clouds to stay out of sight, but also make sure to land at the part of the orchard furthest away from the barn."

"Okay, I got it. Just one question... Which way is east?"

Lyra groaned and pointed towards the back door.

"Just go through the back door, and head left. You'll spot Sweet Apple Acres eventually. Now hurry, before somepony shows up."

"Got it, see you there."

"Wait, one more thing before you go. Just so we know what to call you instead of calling you a thing or he."

Jeremy thought about this for a second before replying, "Scorch. My name's Scorch."

Just as Scorch was about to leave through the back door, he heard a knocking coming from the front door, and hurriedly made his way outside before flying up into the clouds. He made it safely up to the clouds and turned left like Lyra had told him. With his improved senses, he could easily see a farm off in the distance, and he started to lazily fly that way thinking, 'Glad today was a pretty cloudy day, otherwise this would've been that much harder.'

Rainbow Dash was flying towards Lyra's house at a steady pace. Earlier when Applejack had told the others what Spike had said, Twilight asked Rainbow Dash to go look for Spike. When she got to the marketplace, she saw Colgate buyign some celery from one of the stalls and went up to her to ask if she had seen Spike.

"You know, I do remember seeing him earlier. He was mumbling to himself about something, but I couldn't hear what. I did hear him say something about Lyra though. I hope he isn't causing her any trouble."

"Thanks Colgate, I'll go check Lyra's house."

"Any time."

When she got close to Lyra's house, she saw could've swore she saw something red fly out the back of Lyra's house and into the clouds. She looked very carefully at the clouds, before seeing the same red "thing" fly between two clouds. Noticing it was headed in the general direction of Sweet Apple Acres, she flew back to the library to tell Applejack.

"Well what do ya mean, you saw something flying towards Sweet Apple Acres. How do ya know it wasn't just a pegasus pony, doing your job I might add."

"Because for one, that thing looked nothing like a pegasus. It was too big. And second, it wasn't bucking clouds. It was just flying through the clouds, like it didn't want to be seen."

"Well, if it'll make ya feel better, how bout we all head down there to investigate. Y'all don't mind headin out there with me and Dash do ya?"

"Not at all darling, if Rainbow Dash here saw something with those excellent eyes of hers, maybe it's something we should all be worrying about."

"If you say you saw something, we should go check it out. And if it turns out to be nothing, then no harm. At least this will give us a bit more exercise."

The Mane 6 set out for Sweet Apple Acres, not knowing what was in store for them. Meanwhile, Spike, Lyra, and Bon Bon, were explaining that the shouting was just a silly misunderstanding, and that they were merely playing a game Spike and Lyra had created. After they managed to waive off the quesioning ponies, all three managed to make their way towards Sweet Apple Acres. When they got there, they saw Twilight and the rest of the group moving into the apple orchard.

"Oh no, what if they find Scorch before we get to him first?"

"Relax Lyra, I doubt he'd just sit there waiting for anypony to find him. I'm sure he's probably hiding until he sees us."

Scorch had flown quite a distance between Lyra's house and the end of the apple orchard, and it took more out of him than he thought it did. Feeling sleepy, and a little bit hungry, he grabbed an apple off of a tree and ate it, before lying on a branch and falling asleep, thinking a quick nap wouldn't hurt.

The Mane 6 had searched almost the entire apple orchard, thinking about giving up, before Applejack reminded them, "We're almost done. Just one more acre of land and we'll have searched the entire farm.

As they neared the end of the orchard, Rainbow Dash called the rest of the girls over to her before saying, "Hey, just letting you know, but we were being followed the entire time that we've been searching the apple orchards. Lyra, Bon Bon, and Spike are all hiding behind a tree a few yards back. What should we do?"

"Well, why not just ask them why they're following us?"

Twilight turned around and called out, "Lyra, Bon Bon, Spike. We know you're there, so just come out."

All three did as they were told and walked up to the Mane 6.

"Howdy Lyra, howdy Bon Bon. Mind tellin' us why you felt the need to follow us?"

Spike cut in before Lyra or Bon Bon could say anything.

"Oh, no big reason. We wanted to talk to you but you seemed busy, so we didn't want to disturb you. We hid so you could concentrate."

As Spike said this, he looked behind the Mane 6, who were all staring at him, and noticed a crimson red scaly tail hanging from a nearby tree. 'No, no no no no. Scorch you idiot, what are you thinking?"

Noticing Spike's worried expression, she starts to turn around.

"Spike, what are you staring a-"

She turned around and saw the tail hanging from the tree. She looked at it for a second before motioning for the rest of them to come up. As soon as all six ponies were in range, she grabbed the tail and pulled as hard as she could.

Scorch was rudely woken from his nap by a pull on his tail, and the next thing he knew, he was lying face down in the dirt, moaning.

"Oh Celestia, it's a dragon! Spike, what's a dragon doing here?"

"Hehehe, well you see Twilight... We kind of summoned it here."

"WHAAAAAAT!?"
