"No they are not here yet, they are escorting the representatives from the Yaks, The Griffins, The Hippogriffs, The Abyssinians, The Zebras, The Dragons, and The Changelings." Said Celestia.

Spike sighed in relief, he was glad that they didn't need to deal with Twilight and the others just yet. "Good, but what about Bonnie, I was told that she was going to be here?"

"That is right Spike, and do not worry, I arrived last night under the protection of Princess Cadance." Said Queen Bonneble as she walked over to see her friend and host from a few weeks ago.

Spike smiled at Bonneble. "Well, how is her royal highness, Queen Bonneble of the Minitour republic handling her new job?"

Bonnie sighed, she was dead tired. "I had no idea that my father went through so much in a day. In just two days, I had to sign over 300 papers in an hour, open a hospital in the capital, talk with all my generals, lie about my uncles assassination, and deal with my court about who will be my husband now that my father can't arrange anything, and get 6 dresses made for the summit."

Spike laughed, that was par for any royal in the world. "Trust me it only gets worse. But here's a little help, first get a stamp with your signature, it will cut down on the hand cramps, second, get yourself a Coco, if you do not already have one, she has kept me on task more times than I can count."

"74313 times since I joined DRAKE." Said Coco.

"But she can, third, and this one will help a lot, hire a unicorn that can make a body double of you for all the fittings, less hassle when dealing with a packed schedule." Said Spike as he pointed to the mare.

Bonnie raised an eyebrow. "Really? I had no idea, do you have any recommendations?"

Spike hummed. "Well, I know a few of my employees have been looking for a new job, I could send a few your way to see if they will fit."

"Oh thank you, that would be so helpful. Now if you just had a chef that didn't scold me for wanting to eat more than 2 ounces of food a day, I think I could do this."

Spike laughed, that one request was the simplest yet. "That one is easy, learn to cook for yourself. They can't stop you seeing as you are the queen, no one can poison your food because you are the one that cooked it, and it always taste better than when someone brings it to you."

Bonnie gasped. "Really, I've always wanted to cook, but all the chefs told me to let them handle it."

Celestia sighed, she remembered the days when she wanted to make Spike breakfast, and she had to teleport all the chefs out so they didn't interrupt her. "Yes, but one ruler to another, the really stubborn ones are the best chefs and they will not back down without a fight."

Bonnie nodded. "Thank you princess."

"So, the summit, I'm guessing it's going to be in the meeting hall?" Asked Spike, he knew the castle like the back of his claw and the meeting hall was his favorite place to play with Cadance when they were younger.

Celestia nodded at the question. "That is right Spike, but the talks aren't scheduled to start until tomorrow morning, so please, for me, don't do anything too outrageous?" Celestia was worried that Spike would do something that could ruin the whole summit, or start a war, or pretty much anything that would end badly.

Spike sighed. "Well, I do want to see Princess Luna when she gets up for the night, and I want to see Princess Cadance when she has time, but I have a feeling that Tiberius is watching her, and Cadance needs to deal with Blueblood, so I think I'll just go play with Red on the other side of the mountain for a while."

Terra gasped as he ran to the door. "Outside, come on, I want to go outside, I got a lot of energy and it's driving the others crazy." Begged Terra.

"It really is." Said Ignis.

"Please tire him out." Begged Gelu.

"I want to strangle him so much right now." Said Umbra.

"Will you guys stop complaining?" Asked Terra.

Spike sighed as he looked at Red's most 'kind' demon. "Ok, calm down, I'm coming Terra." Spike looked at the rest of the gang. "The rest of you, just chill and don't do anything that would get me in trouble. I'm looking at you Elora." They all nodded at Spike as he let the pegasus outside to go play catch the bolder.

Tempest looked at Celestia. "Princess, is that guard on duty, we have a little matter to resolve?" Asked the mare as she cracked her knuckles.

"Tempest, I feel that is unwise, he does have a family, and he needs his legs to work." Said Celestia, she wasn't opposed to a friendly training match, but the look on Tempest's face was anything but friendly. "But maybe you would like to see the training halls and train for a while on a dummy?" That was the best hope.

Tempest shrugged. "That's fine, but just be aware that Spike will kill anyone that tries to make a pass at me." Tempest walked out of the hall and went for the training hall, she still remembered looking at the blueprints of the castle from when she was with the Storm King.

Ellora sighed as she stretched her arms and back. "Well, I don't know about you Princess, but my powers are great, but a lot of dirt and dust gets trapped on my body when I change, so is there a place I can get cleaned up?" Asked Elora.

Celestia nodded. "Yes, I'll have a guard escort you to the royal bath chamber."

TX stopped Celestia from getting a guard. "I don't think that is a good idea, maybe I should, I'm looking for a quiet place to relax, and I've read all the books in Spike's library. So is there a bath near the royal library that I can take Elora to?"

Celestia smiled at seeing that TX was a reader. "Yes, the castle has a very nice albeit smaller bath chamber not too far from the library." It was built for Twilight so she could get cleaned up after a long night, or three of studying.

TX nodded and grabbed Elora's hand. "Come along Elora."

Elora sighed as she was being dragged by TX. "Fine, but you act too much like Spike at times." Said Elora.

That only left 2, but when Celestia looked to see Astral and ask what accommodations she could provide, all she saw was Coco. "Miss Coco, where did Astral Flare go?"

Coco hummed as she looked at the sun. "Oh, it's his meditation hour, so I'm guessing he's in the garden."

"Really, he meditates? I wouldn't have thought."

Coco nodded, she had a rudimentary knowledge of all the staff at DRAKE. "Yes he does, it helps him focus on what he is doing while fighting."

Celestia smiled at the news. "Well, that is very smart. But that leaves you, what would you like to do?"

Coco pulled out a camera and took a picture with the princess. The flash stunned Celestia for a moment, but it was not as bad as Pinkie's. "I've always wanted to see the capital, but before all this happened I had never left Manehattan. So I'm going to be walking around, see the sights, and maybe go see Canterlot Carousel, but this is my vacation, and I'm going to make full use of it." Coco smiled as she walked out of the castle to start her sightseeing.

Celestia blinked as she was now alone. "Well, interesting was right." She just had a new view of everyone that Spike brought, and it was weird. She turned around and walked away to handle the last tasks for the summit.

After a few hours of playing with Terra, the score was 8 Spike holes in the mountain and 5 Terra holes. "I WIN!" Cheered Terra, he just buried Spike into the mountain with a 5 ton boulder going fast enough to force Spike 20 feet into the mountain's rockface.

Spike climbed out of the 9th him hole and smiled at Terra. "Good job Terra, that last toss was a great one." Terra tossed the boulder over 200 feet in the air and it landed right on Spike.

Terra smiled as he had so much fun with Spike. "Thanks Spike, do you want to play again?"

Spike looked to the sun and noticed that it was around 3 in the afternoon. "Sorry Terra, it's time for us to call it a day."

Terra sighed but he surprisingly understood. "Ok, but we will play again right?"

"Of course we will, I still owe you for that double rock to the face. But, knowing the others, something has happened and at least 1 of them will be locked up." Said Spike.

Terra laughed at the joke, as he took to the sky and started flying back to Canterlot. Spike sighed, it was probably time to face his past, but he really hoped it was not going to happen. "I hope nothing happened while I was gone." He activated his jetpack and took off for the castle.

When Spike and Red got back to the castle many of the other rulers had arrived and were talking with each other in the main greeting hall. But the moment Spike and Red landed, all that talking died and everyone's eyes were on Spike. Spike chuckled nervously, he was never one for so many eyes on him. But the silence was broken when a 16 year old Yak Cow with little horn nubs ran out of the crowd and smiled at Spike and Red. "Redsopine, Spike!" Cried the youngest ruler in the crowd, Queen Yona of Yaks.

Red smiled at the little Yak. "Greetings Queen Yona, I hope your rule has been going smoothly after my visit?"

Yona smiled as she nodded. "Yes, now that I make Yak border open to all, many ponies and griffins come to home and we are trading much more." That was the whole problem, the coup that killed her uncle was a group that believed that their minimal contact with the other races was a sign of weakness from the, at the time prince, Rutherford. They believed that generations of yaks had survived in isolation and if they allowed others in, it would destroy their way of life.

Spike smiled at hearing that. "Great, I got the report from Coco, but I had a feeling that you would get a hold on things quickly."

Yona bowed her head at Spike. "Yes, now I wish to discuss the matter of your payment, I am Yak and Yak's best at repaying debt."

Spike chuckled as he shook his head. "Yona, not now, and don't worry, I'm not looking for any repayment, I was associated with your uncle when I was younger, and we became friends, this was a favor to honor his life that was cut short." It was true, before all of this, Spike was the sort of ambassador for Equestria, he had met Rutherford a total of 5 times before he left to become a villain and in that time, Spike had become friends with the yak. That was why when he got news of his death, he send the most destructive of his employees to handle things.

Yona sighed, she missed her uncle very much, and being tossed into the role of queen at 15 years old was not easy for her. But right now was not a time to talk about the past, but to talk about the future. "Very well, but to honor my uncle, Spike is honorary Yak." Said Yona happily.

Spike bowed to the queen. "Thank you for this honor, Queen Yona. But I must be off, I believe that I'm missing a few characters from my group, can we catch up later?" Asked Spike. Yona nodded as Spike and Red walked through the crowded hall, looking for the others.

Red looked at Spike. "Spike, why didn't you get payment?"

Spike smiled as he looked at Red. "Simple my dear nut job, there is only one thing in the Frozen North that I want, and it's also a problem for Yaks. The Yeti is a monster that has lived in a cave near the main road for centuries. For years that beast has killed many creatures, and that has left a large pile of treasure and powerful artifacts lost to time, just waiting for a new owner. I'm planning on going to get them soon, and since I'm now an honorary yak, I can travel to Yakyakistan when I desire."

"Oh, can I help?" Asked Red, it's been a while since he was able to let the others go nuts.

Spike shook his head. "No, I want TX to handle it. New G has been working on a new version of his arms and I think that it would be the perfect test run." Said Spike as they reached the other side of the hall, where standing at the side was the former dragon lord, and she was talking with Thorax.

The latter of them noticed Spike and looked worried. "Thorax, what's wrong?" Asked Ember, she turned around and looked at Spike. "Dragon Lord Spike?" Ember dropped to one knee to show her respect.

Spike sighed as he looked at Ember. "Ember, you are still the Dragon Lord, I'm just the drake with the scepter." He looked to Thorax and smiled at his old friend. "Hey Thorax, I got your card, and you are free to come to Macro City when ever you want. We have a great changeling population on the east side, and I'm sure they would love to see the king."

Thorax nodded, he had learned about the small collective that moved to Macro city after Chrysalis was banished. "Thank you Spike, I might have to come visit soon."

Spike smiled at hearing that Thorax was coming to visit. "Great, there is so much to do, we can go fishing on my boat, oh maybe we can go see a play and we could get dinner afterwards, I have to show you my HQ." Said Spike happy to know that he was going to spend time with his friend again.

Thorax smiled, that was the Spike that he knew. "Sure, I'll make some time this month to come visit."

"Sweet, now I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation, I need to go find..." There was a loud crash and Spike just sighed. "Sorry, I need to go handle that."

Thorax nodded. "Good luck."

Spike and Red walked over to where the commotion was, and after swimming through a sea of power, it turned out not to be that bad. Prince Blueblood, a bulky white unicorn with a blond gold mane was on the ground with Tempest's hoof on his neck. "WHAT PART OF HANDS OFF DIDN'T YOU GET!?"

Spike walked over to Tempest and smiled at her. "Hey, I'm not going to stop you, he probably deserved it, but Celestia might see otherwise, so tell me what happened."

Tempest growled. "Jackass just asked me what it would cost for an hour in his bed chamber, then he grabbed my flank." Said Tempest as her hoof was still on his neck.

Spike shrugged. "Ok, have fun." Said Spike, he was not going to stop her right now, Blueblood really deserved what was coming.

Tempest growled as she looked down at the piece of trash under her hoof. "No, you know what, I'm not going to lower myself by stepping on a bug." Tempest released Blueblood and walked over to Spike.

"Oh, now I get it, the only way that little lizard would ever find a mare, was if he bought her." Said Blueblood as he rubbed his throat.

Spike sighed, this was already on thin ice and now Blueblood was adding a blow torch. "Blue, I'm warning you now, I'm doing my best to stay civil, but you're trying me." Said Spike as he tried to walk away.

Blueblood scoffed. "She's probably crappy anyways."

Spike growled, it was one thing to insult him, but he loved Tempest, and no one insults the mare he loved. Spike turned around and grabbed Blueblood by the throat. "Blue, I'm going to give you until the count of three to say you're sorry for insulting my mare." Spike then activated his micro missiles and they were all aimed at Blueblood's head. "If you don't, well then there will be a very large stain on the ground."

But before Blueblood could say anything, a pink alicorn with a gold, rose, and magenta mane delivered a earth pony strength punch to his face. Making Spike drop the stallion. "Right, I forgot you get really pissed when someone makes fun of love." Said Spike as he looked at his cousins.

Cadance sighed as she fixed her dress. "No, I just always wanted to do that." She looked at Spike. "Spike."

"Cadance."

"Please follow me, I've already told everyone what he did, and I'm sure that almost every female in the room would have finished him."

Every female in the room nodded, from Queen to servant, they would have done it.

Spike nodded as the group followed the princess of love out of the party, as the group was walking, Spike looked at Tempest. "So, how was your day?"

Tempest shrugged. "It was actually fun, I got to work out a bit, I destroyed a few training dummies, and took a quick bath in the royal bath. Then Elora dragged me to get into this stupid thing." Tempest was in a sexy black dress, and it was great on her. "But, I see that Red is still kicking."

Spike rolled his neck and a few pops could be heard. "Terra won our game of catch."

"Yeah, I'm going to be feeling that in the morning." Said Red as he followed behind.

Once they were far enough from the party, Cadance opened the door to a study. It was a normal study, large bookshelves, soft sitting places, a fireplace for when it was cold out, and sitting there was everyone. "There you guys are, I was worried that at least one of you were going to be in the dungeons."

Everyone looked to Elora. If anyone was going to end up there it would be her. "Hey, I'm not that bad, why do you guys think I'd be the one who would get sent to the dungeons?"

Spike sighed as he took a seat near the fire place. "Elora keep it together, I'm not in the mood."

Cadance sighed, she had been talking with each of them for the last hour and she knew that they all trusted Spike, but she didn't know if Spike trusted them back. "Spike, what do they know?" Asked the princess.

Spike shrugged. "Just about everything, been keeping a certain thing close to the chest for a few hours, but short of that, I trust these guys with my life and all my secrets. They know about Celestia being my mother, and they know about my relationship to the girls."

Tempest nodded as she kissed Spike's cheek. "Spike, thank you for defending me."

Spike smiled as he took Tempest's hand. "I love my mare, and I'd do anything to make sure she is happy. So if that means I kill my asshole of a cousin, so be it."

Cadance groaned at the amount of love that just hit her face. "Ok, Aunt Celestia better get ready for the wedding."

Spike nodded, he knew that Cadance could feel love, and he knew that Tempest loved him and he loved her. "Cadance, why is everyone here?" Asked Spike, it was good to see her again, but he was planning on talking with her later.

Cadance sighed, this was going to be hard to explain. "Spike, I need your help."

Spike looked at Cadance. "My help? But you're a strong ally with Mom, why can't she help you?"

Cadance groaned at the reason. "Spike, there has been word going around that a revolution in the Empire is in the works."

"What? Why would the crystal ponies do that?" Asked Spike, this was the first he's heard of this.

"Since most of our trade is coming from Canterlot, which has a strong embargo with Macro City, many of the crystal ponies are demanding that I cut all ties with Aunt Celestia and ally with you, so they can help the hero of the Crystal Empire."

Spike leaned back and whistled. "Damn, I had no idea it was that bad, I just got a case of wine from them a week ago, but a revolution?"

Cadance nodded. "Yes. But I will not harm my subjects for wanting to see you. But the longer this goes on, the harder it will be to contain before it goes too far."

Spike rubbed his eyes. "Very well, I will come to the Empire. Besides I need to deal with something in the north, but this is getting ridiculous."

Cadance sighed, she had seen it all. "Spike, many of the ponies wanted to go to war with Canterlot after they found out about your bounty. So I'd say I've done great keeping it contained to this point."

Spike sighed. "I'll come after I'm done in Somnambula."

Cadance smiled. "Thank you Spike."

Spike smiled at his cousin. "I missed you Candy."

Cadance smiled. "I missed you too Spike." Cadance then looked to Tempest and gave her a smirk. "Now tell me all about her."

"No, I'm going to tell Mom and Aunt Luna later tonight, so you can wait until then." Said Spike.

"NO, I can feel the love from you two and it's driving me nuts, I got to know."

Spike got up from his seat and all the others followed. "Tonight, I promise." Spike opened the door so everyone could go to the party.

But once the door was closed Cadance sighed. "Spike, we might not have until then."

Down stairs, in the dungeon, Twilight and the rest of the girls were sitting in a cell, the moment they arrived with their escorts, they all planned to confront Spike. Celestia tried to stop them, but it took Discord removing their horns and wings to get them into the cell. "Twilight, I have made a deal with Spike, you are not to have any contact with him and he will not leave." Said Celestia as she was pacing at the cell door with Discord dressed in a sheriffs outfit sitting behind a desk.

"No, Princess Celestia, I just want to talk with him, I'm sure I can help him see what's wrong, and we can get him back." Cried Twilight.

Celestia rubbed her head. "Twilight, I don't have time for this, I'm already 20 minutes late, I haven't greeted any of the guests, and I'm pretty sure that Blueblood has already caused a problem."

"He fucked up really bad, asked what it would cost him for a hour, then he grabbed her flank. Spike almost killed him soon after." Said Discord.

Celestia groaned at the news. "And now I got to deal with Blueblood."

"He deserved it." Said Discord.

"Right. Discord, I don't want them to leave this cell until I get a promise from all of them to behave, this is too important to screw up and I'm not in the mood for a war." Celestia walked up the large stone stairs to join the party, while Discord tilted his hat to cover his eyes.

Twilight looked at Celestia walk away from them. "This is impossible, the princess must have a plan, and knowing her she must know a way to get the old Spike back, and everything can go back to normal."

"Sorry Princess of Denial, this is all set in stone, there are no plans for a take over, no plans for getting the 'old' Spike back, no plans to do anything aside from save my tail."

Fluttershy walked over to the door. "Discord, are you talking about the Sphinx from before we met?"

Discord nodded at his marefriend. "That's her Shy, and sorry about this, I don't want her coming for you either so I need Spike's help."

"Sweetie, is she really that bad?" Asked the mare.

"No, she was very nice, but that is not why."

"Then why do you need Spike's help, I'm sure the princess could help?" Asked Rainbow.

Discord shook his head. "I doubt it, seeing as Spike's her father."

Rainbow started laughing. "Come on, Spike's only 23 there is no way in hell that he's the father of a chick you banged 2000 years ago."

Discord chuckled as he was about to drop the biggest bomb ever. "It all started 30000 years ago. The world as we knew it was very different, the sun and moon moved on their own, the creatures of the world lived in wonderful piece, and nothing was wrong with the world. No war, no famine, no untimely deaths, and all because of one guy. Heathspike Talon Heart, a benevolent god by every meaning of the word. He was blessed with many gifts, but the one that is important right now is he is immortal. Not like me, he will die, but he will always be Spike. It is his destiny to always bring others together, and listen to me when I say this, Spike is not the 'old' Spike, until three things happen. First he will strike out on his own, and travel away from his family. Second, he will find a creature that he truly loves, and bring a new life into this world, driving him to make sure that they are safe. Lastly, he will bring a long lasting peace to the world until he is forgotten and you mortals screw it all up again. Then he is reborn into a diffrent race and his job starts again.

"Really, I find all of that hard to believe." Said Twilight, she would have read something about past Spike's and to her knowledge, there was nothing.

Discord sighed as he opened the desk drawer and pulled out a photo album. "You tell me, and don't go looking at the creature, look at the soul." Discord tossed the photo album through the bars.

Twilight doubted that this was all true, but they were stuck in a cell and they couldn't get out. She turned to the first picture and her heart nearly stopped. Standing around a multitude of creatures was the spitting image of Spike. "Dragon Lord Talon Heart the day that he announced that he was having a child. The order gets messed up a bit, but they always happen." Said Discord.

Rarity looked at the next photo, and sitting on a throne was of a purple furred diamond dog with green eyes. "King Heart Claws, of the ancient dog kingdom. Denied his title and traveled the world helping dig irrigation, tunnels, foundations for homes, and fields for crops. Became a ruler on his own hard work and warm smile."

Fluttershy found a hippogriff Spike. "Really, he was a hippogriff too?"

Discord nodded. "Lord Sky Talon, and before you ask, yes he was the one that imbued the pearl with the magic, but it was to allow others to travel by both sea and air, and spread the peace he was destined to spread."

"Here's one with Spike as a Yak." Said Pinkie.

"Yeah, that's where it all came from, Yak's best at everything was because back then, Yak Spike was really best at making peace and for generations Yak's became best."

"Oh, here's the one where you slept with his daughter." Said Rainbow.

"Knowledge Keeper, Lord of the shifting sands, Sand Feather, wises creature to live, and the one responsible for negotiating the end of hundreds of wars, but saved millions of lives."

Twilight turned to the last page but it was missing. "Wait, where is our Spike?"

Discord sighed. "Twilight, I can't take one of this Spike yet, he is a king, he did strike out and forge his own path, and he's really close to the last one, but before this, no Spike has ever been this different. Heck, I remember a Spike that was a pacifist, and refused to fight anything. Sure there were some that had to fight as well to bring upon a better life, but our Spike is throwing that into the wind, I wonder why?" Asked Discord.

Twilight closed the book and looked at Discord. "No, I refuse to believe that this was all because of me."

"Generations of Spike's tend to disagree, a strong family, loving parents, the occasional chore to develop a work ethic and strong morals. But like every good thing, too much of it can turn bad. Overworked, over looked, ignored, this Spike as had one of the hardest life growing up, and I've seen one where he was born in a war zone and almost starved when he was a few months old. So either, he's done caring or something really screwed him up."

"No, if this was all true, than why would you deliberately cause chaos, it would be inevitable that you would fail. More over, why is it after so many generations, I find it hard to believe that this would be the first to change?"

"Twilight, the world can not exist without both harmony and chaos, much like a coin, both sides are needed to keep the balance. I will never die, but Spike will always die, but he will be brought back when he is needed. Meaning I do my thing and he shows up. Technically we are enemies, but after so many lives and getting to know the past Spikes, we started getting close to each other after around Spike the 4th, besides, when he's around I can take a vacation." Said Discord as he started chewing some gum.

"Does Spike know about this?" Asked Rarity.

Discord shook his head. "He has no clue, I always end up telling them when they are about to die, and oddly enough they always believe me at face value. I think when they sense it is time, they are able to see it for themselves, but I don't really know." He looked to Twilight. "So, Little Miss Princess of Friendship, how does it feel to know that you might be the cause of preventing world peace, and more over, making it harder on Spike to achieve interspecies friendship?"

Twilight turned around and got onto the cell's bed. Fluttershy looked at Discord and noticed that he was actually crying from under his hat. "Discord why are you crying?" Asked the mare.

Discord wiped his eyes as before anyone could see. "It's nothing Shy, it's just very dusty in here."

"Discord?" Asked Fluttershy as she didn't buy a single word.

"30000 years and you get close to a guy, ok. I watched him die and come back, and for years I am waiting for him to return. I want him to be the Spike that I know, not the same Spike that only shares a passing resembles of his former selves. That is why I want him to see his daughter, I want the last living creature to finally brake the cycle and force him back on track. And the only way to do any of that is to lie to him."

"So, you never actually slept with his daughter?" Asked Rainbow, she was starting to get confused.

"No I did, I just didn't know it was her until after, that's why I got my ass out of there and never called her." Discord got out of his chair and tossed the keys on the ground just out of reach for the girls to grab. "Here's a test, get the keys and if you still think it would be best, I'll stop time for you all and Spike. But know that things aren't going to be easy for anyone." Discord snapped and changed into a fancy three piece suit. "I'll be back in an hour." Said Discord as he walked up the stairs to party.

All the girls aside from Twilight looked at the keys. "So, we're getting out of here right?" Asked Rainbow.

"I don't know, we all saw them photos, and we all heard what Discord said." Said AJ.

"But, maybe if we talk to Spike, then we can at least fix some of the damage we caused." Said Pinkie as her hair was a little flat.

"I don't know dear, we all did our part, dismissing, forgetting, degrading, ignoring." They had all seen what they had done to Spike, and they felt horrible about it, but they wanted to help, that was the whole point with confronting Spike.

"Don't bother, it's like Discord said, it's my fault for screwing with Spike's destiny, so I'd rather just forget about seeing him." Said Twilight as she laid down on the bed and looked at the wall.

Hours later, it was time for Spike to meet with his whole family, and the perfect place for that was somewhere very special to Spike.

Celestia was sitting in large chair, behind her personal desk, in her bed room, Luna who had just woken up for her shift was drinking a cup of coffee on the bed, and Cadance, who had just gotten Flurry heart down for her bed time was trying her best not to fall asleep, raising a toddler was not easy. "Sister, I know that we all agreed to meet with Spike, but why are we not doing this in a meeting chamber?"

"He said that it was a personal thing, and that he wanted to talk to all of us."

"Well can he hurry up, Flurry runs like a clock, she's up every 2 hours and right now he's eating into my sleep." Said Cadance.

There was a knock on the door and since there wasn't any cries of pain, that meant that Spike was able to arrive. "Come in Spike."

Spike opened the door and he walked in, but he wasn't alone, he was actually with Tempest. "Hey mom, Hi aunt Luna, thanks for staying up to meet me."

"It's fine Spike, but what is so important that I am missing my bed, before Flurry decides to wake up?"

"And why is she here?" Asked Celestia.

Spike gave a nervous chuckle. "Mom, seeing as it concerns her, I thought it was only fair."

Celestia looked to Spike, then to Tempest, then back to Spike. "No, Spike Drake Solaris, you better not tell me what I think you're going to tell me, or so help me, I will ground your tail for so long."

Spike looked away from everyone in the room. "Ok, I won't."

Tempest sighed as she was going to need to do this for him. "2 weeks in, I found out from Doctor Newton after my physical, Spike got the message during our flight."

All three princess looked at the mare and Spike gave a chuckle. "So Mom, are you ready to be a grandma?"

Author's Note

To be honest, I know that this was long overdue, but I didn't like how I first wrote it back in June, but I like the idea of Spike being reincarnated. That solves the whole 4 generation of Spike's from the other MLP generations. But in reality I'm not going to play that up much.
