At the Sparkle family household in Canterlot City, there was its usual inhabitants, who are Night Light and Twilight Velvet, and their children Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle. Now, for the latter, she also owns a pet, who's a small purple dog with green ears and green hair. The dog's name is Spike. And currently, he wasn't in his best mood. Not ever since the recent events that happened and changed his whole life

'This isn't right! Why am I allowed just that? Why can't I have more?' he thought. The reason for that was a big one: after the events of the latest Friendship Games, where his owner participated, magic coming from the Equestrian world infused on him. The canine gained several abilities uncommon for his type, such as an upgraded sense of smell, and most notably the ability to talk. Honestly, he liked it, no, he LOVED it! But he wanted more. He wanted to be like his owner and her friends, which means being a human just like her and everyone. He wanted that in a desperate manner and it was his biggest wish upon the day it will be granted.

'I'm still restricted to a specific diet, I'm not allowed to go to some places, and yet I'm able to talk! This is SO unfair! What has that Equestrian magic done to a little dog like me!' he complained in his head. 'Why can't I be human just like my owner? Just like every student and staff member in that school! Just like EVERYONE in that big city!' he added with fury in his mind. That latter thought comes back from some time after the Friendship Games, where he nearly ate a chocolate bar, until Twilight rushed to him and took it out of his sight, saying that chocolate is toxic for dogs, and also because despite his new abilities, he was still forbidden to enter from some places excluding Canterlot High and Crystal Prep, such as the library as well as the mall and the supermarket.

All of these thoughts were interrupted, however, by his owner calling him for dinner. The dog wasted no time and joined the others near the dining room, where his bowl was already filled with dog food, courtesy of Twilight Sparkle. Before beginning to eat, he takes a quick look at the surroundings. Only his owner and her mother were present, because Shining Armor was currently away with his wife, and Night Light was on his way to the house, coming back from his workplace, as it was now six of the afternoon on the clock. As Spike begins to eat his food, his thought comes back, but with something more this time. Something that makes him more determined than ever.

'If only there was a way that I can use to make my wish come true...' he pondered. As he was halfway through his dinner, the memory of a smell comes to him. 'Hmmm, I can still smell him... YES! Why didn't I thought of that soon! I liked him when I was at Crystal Prep. Sure, he was Twilight's best friend, but he's an inventor! With his intelligence, he can build me a converter so that I can be human! That's the solution! I can be a genius sometimes!' the later sentence was filled with pride in Spike's eyes, which also made his tail rapidly wagging.

Twilight's former best friend, and only friend, was none other than Finnigan Gwaii Canuck, who's member of a secret group calling themselves the Specialists. He's the brainy member of the secret team, and the only one of them that attends Crystal Prep, as the others attend Canterlot High. And from what Spike remembers when he was (and still is) at Crystal Prep, he loves making inventions, it was his main hobby at home, beside all the time he has been with Twilight to support her through her hard life before the Friendship Games. And right, now, that inventor became Spike's main objective. The main objective of the canine's big new desire.

After he finished all of his dog food, Spike looked once more at the dining table inside the dining room. Velvet and Sparkle were chatting together. 'Minding possibly their own business. Let's not disturb them.' the dog thought once more. With a near-excited expression on his face, the purple dog rushes to the front door and waits patiently for Night Light's return. After five seconds only, the canine's patience is granted as the doorbell rings, followed by Night Light entering inside. 'Now's my chance!' was Spike's final thought as he runs through the front door without Night Light looking as the latter still held the door open while greeting his wife and daughter. After the front door was closed, Spike was now outside of the house, freely roaming at the fresh air and staring at the sunlight for a short time. After coming toward the street, he has now the opportunity to talk, even if it is to himself, since now he isn't surrounded by anybody. A huge smile was plastered on his face.

"Now my quest begins!" he said. Taking a minute to smell where the Specialists live, since they live in the same place, as he remembers that fact too, Spike soon detects the odor. "The Specialist Grand Mansion is located west of Canterlot City! Not too far from here, but I can make it, I swear with all of my big mind! Even if I didn't see and visit it of my own eyes!" he declared himself with a determined expression on his doggy face. Following the so-called odor, and his long-time kept wish, Spike begins to run on the street toward west at full speed, not even looking back at his home while paying attention to his surroundings. After getting at least five miles away from the Sparkle household, a familiar quote escapes from the canine's mouth, the first said voluntarily by Spike himself.

"What could possibly go wrong?"

Author's Note

My second story! This time, I leaned myself on a HUGE problem that disturbed the brony community for a LONG time, the fact that SPIKE of all people is still a dog despite his new abilities. So, I wanted to make a remedy to that problem.

And also, I reintroduced my OC Finn Canuck from my latest story (which I realized wasn't very good from my POV). And I also mentions his secret organisation which I call the Specialists, and who are ALL composed of OCs of mine. However, I will show him and the other members in the next chapters, because right now, it is the debut of Spike's quest. Hope the story will be very good!

Keep calm and Brony on,

The Preeminent
