As Spike woke up, he noticed two things. One, the bus was stopped. Two, his screen was telling him a quest opened up.

Spike was utterly shocked. Magic. It was telling him to learn real magic. Okay, he was less shocked than he should be, considering he read the comics.

But he was still shocked nonetheless. And friends? Maybe that would be the toughest part of the quest since he didn't see- wait. What was that in the distance? To Spike, it looked like a rainbow colored blur for three seconds till it disapeared. But he knew he saw it. It was the exact same thing he saw when he met-

"Rainbow Dash..??? No, stop, that was just an illusion, there's no way. It's been ten years since then. There's no way that it could be-", Spike was interrupted as he saw the blur again. But this time coming straight at him.

" Oh Shi-", and as he was about to finish those words, he was barreled into by said rainbow blur. And then he heard the most familiar sounding laugh he's ever heard. "Rainbow Dash..? Is that really you?"

And then it stopped. She stared at Spike, until suddenly he was tackled to the ground... Again. "SPIKE??! What are you doing here??!", The girl exclaimed, who at the moment looked happier, but had tears forming in her eyes.

Spike just looked at her face, completely shocked that it was really her. "You..... You're really here. It's... It's been so long since I've seen you-", he was interrupted again by Rainbow hugging him so tight, it was hard to breathe. "R... Rainbow! I can't breathe!", He yelled.

Rainbow Dash immediately let go of him, stood up, and pulled him up, just to hug him again tightly. He blushed, still not used to feminine contact, aside from his mom. He decided to Observe her, and her stats came up.

Rainbow Dash - lvl 18

Title: Fastest Filly Alive, Crashing Speed Junkie
Description: Extremely happy she met you again, ready for some more speedy-crashing, a possible love-interest-

Spike stopped reading her decription there, with an embarrassed blush. He didn't want to read any further if the System would start spouting THAT nonsense.

Armor- Student outfit, Loyalty Pendant, Thunder Gauntlets

Spike was a bit confused on those last two things, but he looked at her stats next. They were as follows-

Rainbow Dash- lvl 18

Stats- ATK: 25 DEF: 25 VIT: 28 DEX: 35
AGI: 40 INT: 18 WIS: 20 LUK: 30

Spike wasn't surprised at these stats, knowing how fast she is. As he looked back at Rainbow Dash directly, she had a smug look on her face, with a hint of something else.

"What are you looking at Spike? Something catch your eye?", She asked, and this caused Spike to blush again, realizing he was staring too intently. He cleared his throat, and spoke up.

"Ha ha... Sorry, was just seeing how tall you've grown since then, considering you and the other girls were at least two feet taller than me. But it looks like I may be taller now.", Spike grinned back, clearly reveling in this fact.

Rainbow seemed to pout after that, but smiled after a second. "So, how'd you manage to get here anyways? The barri-", She was interrupted by Luna Lovegood herself as she stepped out of the bus yawning.

"Spike, ye need to head to thine sisters off- oh hello Rainbow Dash, didn't expect see ye this early. Stopped being lazy for once in thine life?", Luna giggled as Rainbow got an embarrassed expression.

"She's still lazy? Man, some things never change", Spike said while trying not to laugh. Rainbow pouted some more, and turned to face Luna again.

"I'll have you know, I ran around the school a hundred times!", She yelled indignantly, but was embarrassed even more as a certain blonde cow-girl came up snickering like them as well.

"Which lasted for a minute before you slept for two hours. Didn't it Dash?", Asked a smirking Apple Jack, but she stopped smirking as she took one look at Spike. "Well Ah'll be. Is that you Spike?"

Spike took one look at the cow-girl, and smiled. "Hey Apple Jack! I'd recognize that stetson hat anywhe-", he was interrupted as he was crushed into a pulp as AJ hugged him. "-and stronger than ever...!"

"Spike.... We've all missed yeh terribly, ya know? Pinkie hasn't exactly been quite the same since you left Canterlot Elementry. Neither have I, to be honest.", Apple Jack and Spike chuckled a bit at her last words, both knowing she is a 'tad' too much with her honesty. Couldn't keep a secret if it could save her life.

" About that. Are the rest of the girls here? I'd like to surprise them. Especially Twilight, and even more-so Pinkie. I specifically remember her being a party animal.", Spike smiled again, as he thought about his child-hood friends. Speaking of child-hood...

"Also, do any of you happen to know a guy named Discord? He was my closest friend three years ago, and he came here to study to be a teacher. I... Haven't heard from him since.", Spike said with regret in his voice.

The three females looked shocked at first, then smiled at the same time. " We remember such a person. He liked to wear such odd clothes, it made Rarity go crazy because of, and we quote, 'OH THE HORROR, OF ALL THE FASHION CHOICES, HE MIS-MATCHED PLAID, AND STRIPES! THIS IS THE WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!', and proceeded to faint on thine sister's chair right after.", Luna spoke first.

Rainbow almost couldn't contain her laughter as she and AJ told similar stories, involving 'crimes against fashion' with Rarity. Spike couldn't, and busted out laughing, because he knew how she was when he wore mis-matched socks one day.
