Reborn as a dragon

(10 years later)

So much has happened during the 10 long years after the party, our daily lives have returned to normal and all the destruction that was caused because of the earthquake was being worked on, almost all of it was repaired, even the cracks in the ground were fixed by unicorns.

And during the next few years our work continued like normal and I joined the race a few more times, but since I kept winning I decided to stop so someone else could win.

After that a new orphanage opened up at the edge of town so I decided to volunteer to watch over the kids that transferred here from other orphanages, but for the last few days Rainbow has been pranking pony after pony all over town including me, her latest prank involved itching powber and I'm still a little itchy.

I mostly read them stories and play with them. They can get annoying at times but I enjoyed it.

The kids loved me so I tried to come by whenever I could so I could cheer them up it was mostly after my chores.

The tunnels were completed as well I had a tunnel to almost every city and to where I think the Crystal Empire would appear though I might be a mile or two off at most.

But, now we have reached the present and the 4 of the other elements are here they are exactly how I remember them, and today was the summer sun celebration.

I was working in the orchard picking apples like I do everyday, but then I had a sudden visitor, it was the new mayor of the town Mayor Mare.

"Hey Spyro, I need to ask a favor of you?" She asked me with a smile on her face as she approached me.

"Sure what do you need?" I asked her as I set down a few apples in the barrel.

"There is supposed to be a pony from canterlot coming, but they are behind schedule by 20 minutes." She explained.

"So you want me to go check if their alright or not?" I asked to confirm what she wanted me to do.

"Yes, and here it explains why you went to meet up with them." She said giving me a letter so I took it and flew off towards Canterlot if they're already in the air we should meet up soon.

About 10 minutes later I saw a chariot being pulled by royal guards I flew up to them and glided right beside them as they said.

"What are you doing here civilian this is official business." One of the pegasus guards said then I held up the letter.

"Mayor Mare sent me because you guys are running behind schedule." I said handing him the letter, so he unrolled it with his hooves then nodded at his partner

I flew back a little to see the pony and dragon in the chariot, I decided to have a little fun so I looked at the dragon.

"Never seen another dragon before, but you look familiar have we met before?" I asked him as I landed in the chariot.

"Can't say we have, my name's Spike, it's nice to finally meet another dragon." He said holding out a hand so I shook it with one of my front legs.

"And I'm Twilight, good thing you came guess I can mark one thing off the list." She said as she held a scroll in her magic.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"One of the tasks Princess Celestia assigned to me was to check up on you." She explained as she marked something off the list.

"Well, I'm doing fine, and the creatures of the everfree are under control, though I'm honored she would be worried about me last time we spoke was after Gracious's trial." I said.

"Yes, I know that is why she also wanted me to check in on you, oh and I forgot to tell you my name, it's Twilight Sparkle, but can I ask you something?" She asked me.

"Sure ask away?" I told her.

"Do you have any information on Nightmare Moon?" She asked me so I had to make something up fast.

"Well I can't say if she is real or not, but I have come to believe that to every legend there is a grain of truth in it, so I think it's possible someone like her could have appeared in the past though I can't be sure. Plus what are the chances of the shadow on the moon just so happens to look like a pony." I told her after a moment of thought as she wrote it down.

"Thank you." She said with a smile, but then I looked back and spike and now it was time for my fun.

"Now I remember you, your that dragon I saw bust through the roof of a building last time I was in Canterlot." I said as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Yeah." He said with a nervous laugh I knew he only just hatched at the time but it was the first time I saw him.

"I'm gonna head back to Ponyville to tell Mayor Mare you're on your way, so want to tell me why you're a little late?" I asked Twilight.

"Canterlot is still suffering a little from the earthquake 10 years ago though it has been repaired, some of the buildings are a bit weaker now, and one collapsed as we were about to take off so the guards had to check if everypony was alright." She explained then I took off towards Ponyville.

I flew back to Ponyville and told Mayor Mare why they were late, she understood things weren't really the same after that day, but it was as normal as it could get. So after talking to her for a bit I returned to the farm to see Applejack making apple related foods.

"How's the cooking going?" I asked her as she took a step away from the stove to cool down.

"It's going fine it's all almost ready plus the samples we made for the pony they sent from Canterlot." She told me as she whipped her forehead with a cool rag.

"Well, I think I'll make some Apple juice don't want her to have no beverage now don't we." I said catching AppleJack's attention.

"Her?" Applejack asked.

"Oh yeah Mayor Mare asked me to go check on them since they were running a little late nothing big, she should be here soon maybe you should go greet her, and introduce her to everypony." I told her as she looked outside.

"Yeah I'll head out, you make the Apple Juice." She said as she walked out of the kitchen to go outside.

I was almost finished juicing some Apples before I hear Applejack yell.

"SOUPS ON EVERYPONY." She yelled but I kept moving the apples, and after I put it in a tankard and flew out the window to see Twilight and Spike in front of a table full of food so I flew down.

"And here's Spyro." Applejack said she must have just finished the introductions so I placed the tankers next to Twilight

"Here so you don't choke on anything." I told Twilight as she chuckled nervously then I remembered something.

"Hey, I gotta go hope to see you later." I said as I flew off.

{20 minutes later Twilight's POV}

"Oh, my stomach." I said as I said, as I walked over a bridge with Spike.

"Next is weather the one who supposed to be clearing the skies is Rainbow Dash." Spike told me as he looked at the list.

I looked up to see a lot of clouds above us. "Well, she's doing a terrible job." I said as I looked back at spike to see him looking in the distance.

"What are you looking at Spike?" I asked as I turned my head to see Spyro pushing a catapult with a giant pie on lt, and not far from him a cloud with a rainbowed maned mare resting atop of it.

Spyro stopped for a moment breathing heavily as he noticed us.

"Hey care to lend a hand I just need to turn this around a bit." He said so Spike rushed over to help him push it then Spyro got at the back of it to check if everything was right.

"Perfect." He said with a grin as Spike asked.

"Where did you get this?" He asked him as Spyro grabbed a lever with his front left leg with a smile on his face.

"From a certain pink mare, Rainbow Dash has been pranking everypony in Ponyville so, me and others want to get back at her." He said as he pulled the lever, then the pie launched into the air crashing into the cloud and into the ground with a big splat.

Soon enough the pan lifted up to regular a very angry pegasus. "Is that all you got a giant pie, I did that last week." She said, but Spyro's smile never fell as he stuck two claws in his mouth then whistled.

Then the window to all the buildings started slowly cracking open, and I could tell a chill went down the mares spins as they fully opened and cannons started poking out of them all pointed at her.

"Come on we can talk about this." She said as catapults started lining the roofs while she chuckled nervously.

Spyro lifted a claw high in the air then dropped it to the ground as the first cannon fired(1:10 i was watching V for Vendetta while I write this and thought this song was perfect for this part)

I heard Spyro humming a tone as each cannon and catapult fired to the rhythm of his humming, soon giant pies from the catapults and cannon balls made of ice cream were flying towards the mare as she took cover under the pie pan and when it was all done she was buried under a mountain of food.

I looked to Spyro's catupult to see he was no longer there so then I turned back to the giant pile of food I saw him at the top with a pole with a flag he pulled out of nowhere then put it at the very top.

As I looked up the wind started to pick up the flag and I read the words that were sown into it.

It's just a prank, bro

After that, he flew down with a satisfied look on his face as he landed next to the catapult.

"Now if you'll excuse me I have to take this back to Sugar Cube Corner." He told us as her planted his back legs into the ground as he pushed with his upper legs.

The catapult moved slowly as the dragon struggled to move it. "Do you need any help?" I asked him Celestia did tell me to make sure he was alright.

"Yeah I'm fine this is just gonna take awhile carry on with your business." He said as he kept pushing as the Rainbow mare finally managed to eat her way out of the food pile.

I walked up to her and said. "Are you perhaps Rainbow Dash?"

"Yeah fastest mare in Equestria, why, you heard of me?" She said flying in the air.

"I heard your suppose to be keeping the skies clear." I told her as I pointed at the clouds with a hoof. "I'm Twilight Sparkle and the princess sent me to check on the weather."

"Yeah yeah that'll be a snap I'll do it in a jiffy." She said as she closed her arms with a smile on her face. "Right after I'm done practicing."

"Practicing, practicing for what?" I asked her.

"The Wonderbolts." She said pulling out a poster with them wonderbolts on it. "They're going to be at the celebration tomorrow and I'm going to show them my stuff." She said with confidence.

"The Wonderbolts are the most talented flying team in all of Equestria phew please they'd never accept accept a pegasus who can't keep the skies clear for one day." I said with a grin.

"I can clear them in ten seconds flat." She told me as she crossed her hooves.

"Prove it." I told her.

{20 minutes later Spyro POV}

I had finally pushed the catapult to Sugar Cube Corner then suddenly Pinkie appeared in front of me catching me off guard.

"How'd it go?" She asked with a big smile.

"It went perfectly, everypony did their part in our little prank thanks for the catapult where did you get it anyway?" I asked her.

"I have my ways." Pinkie said mysteriously so I decided not to think about it any further.

'I wonder where Twilight is right now, maybe heading towards Fluttershy maybe I should meet her there. Fluttershy has already seen me so I don't think Spike will surprise her like in the show so I'll have to warn her before they show up.' I thought as I took off to find them I headed for the park first, and found them quickly.

Twilight, and Spike were heading towards Fluttershy so I swiped down in front of them catching them off guard as Twilight stumbled backwards falling to the ground.

"Sorry for scaring you, but if your going to talk to Fluttershy you should let me prepare her first she is incredibly shy around new ponies." I explained as I walked away from them to walk to Fluttershy she was practicing with her birds for the celebration.

"Hey Fluttershy, sorry for bothering you." I said as I walked up to her and a small rep escaped her as she jumped, but calmed down when she looked at me.

"Oh Spyro it's just you." She said quietly.

"Hey, I need to introduce you to a pony and dragon that came from Canterlot to check on the preparations do you think you can handle that?" I asked her as I placed a claw on her shoulder.

"Yeah thanks for telling me." She said with a smile then I turned my head to Twilight and Spike.

"Ok you can come over now." I said loudly so they could hear me then they walked over the whole time Twilight levitated a list in her magic.

"This is Twilight and the little dragon's name is spike." I told Fluttershy as Twilight said.

"So how have the music preparations going?" She asked Fluttershy as she pulled out a feather.

"We're almost done it'll be ready by tonight." She said shyly as she hid behind her long mane as Twilight checked something off her list.

"Well that's everything now we have to head to the library." Spike said as he yawned.

"If you're heading to the library I'll lead you there so you don't walk around aimlessly." I told them.

"Ok then lead the way." Twilight said with a smile so we started walking down the streets of Ponyville.

We made it to her library and I stopped her from going inside to tell her. "Be prepared a mare named Pinkie Pie loves throwing surprise parties for new ponies so don't be surprised that everypony is inside waiting for you." I told her as I opened the door for her.
