Spike's new home

The next day, Celestia had just woken up to raise the sun and met Luna out on the balcony lowering the moon.

“Morning, Tia.”

“Morning, Luna.”

“I noticed that you were gone for a long time yesterday. Did something happen?” Asked Luna.

“Yes.” Replied Celestia. “Spike ran away.”

“He ran away?!” Exclaimed Luna. “For what reason?”

“It’s a long story.”

“Tell me.”

“When Twilight was a filly, she hatched Spike from his egg. She wanted to take care of him so bad, but I preferred that Spike be raised by somepony older.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Anyway, Twilight kept trying to get me to let her raise Spike and eventually, I gave in because she was keeping me from my duties.”

“Ha, that’s hilarious.” Said Luna, laughing.

Celestia glared at her for a second before continuing.

“I had allowed her to take care of Spike as long as she was responsible. She had agreed immediately after I said that, and I mean immediately.”

“Interesting, she really wanted to raise Spike that bad.”

“Yes.” Replied Celestia. “But apparently when I sent her to Ponyville, she started to give him more and more work until he barely had time for anything else.”

“That’s not good. Have you talked to Twilight about this?”

“Yes.” Replied Celestia. “After I found out and talked to her about it, she teleported us to his location.”

“Where is he?” Asked Luna.

“He is in a large house very deep in the Everfree forest owned by a spider-pony named Violet Spark.”

Celestia gave Luna a map that had a flashing dot right where Spike was.

“That dot is Spike’s location. Use it when you wish to see him.”

“Thank you, sister.”

Luna was just about to leave the balcony when she heard Celestia call her.

“Luna, one more thing.”

“What is it?”

“If Violet Spark asks who you are, tell her that you are my sister. And do not try to take Spike, for I have given the responsibility of raising Spike to Violet Spark,”

“Thank you for the advice, Tia.”

Luna walked back into the castle holding the map in her magic. She was thinking about visiting Spike at his new home, but she needed to eat first, for she was hungry. She and Celestia had pancakes, made by Celestia, for their breakfast.

After the pancakes were gone, Luna had decided that she would visit Spike, but first she had a few things that she needed to deal with first.

An hour and a half ago at Violet’s house, Violet and Spike had just woken up. They had decided to spend the day together at their home. Violet made prench toast and haybacon for them for breakfast.

“Mm, thanks for the prench toast and haybacon, Violet.” Said Spike, beginning to eat the food.

“You’re welcome.” Replied Violet, just sitting down.

The two ate their breakfast before Violet put the dishes in the sink to clean later.

So, what do you want to do today, Spike?”

“Hmm.” Said Spike, thinking. Then an idea popped into his head.

“Where’s the most beautiful places around here?”

“There are a bunch of ones close to here. I could show you one later.”

“Okay.” Replied Spike.

Right after Spike said that, there was a knock at the door.

“I wonder who that could be.” Said Violet, walking towards the door.

She opened the door to reveal Luna there.

“Greetings, Violet Spark.”

“Um, hello.” Replied Violet. “Who are you and how do you know my name?”

“I am Princess Luna. My sister has told me about you and how you are caring for Spike.”

“Who is your sister, if you don’t mind me asking, Princess.”

“My sister is Princess Celestia. She told me the location of your house.”

“Oh, so you two are siblings? Interesting. Well, want to join us for a little bit?”

“I'd like that.” Replied Luna.

Luna walked into the house before Violet closed the door.

“Spike, we have another visitor.” Said Violet.

“Who is it?” Asked Spike, before walking towards the door. “Luna?!” He exclaimed with slight excitement.

“Spike, I’ve come to see you. I hope you’re doing well.”

“Better than ever.” Replied Spike.

“So, Princess Luna. I have some fun games that we could play.”

Violet pulled out a bunch of games that she had. Luna had chosen monopony, for she preferred games that were simple, yet not very boring.

Luna chose a unicorn, Violet chose a dragon, and Spike chose a rainbow. They played for 3 hours before Luna and Violet went bankrupt.

“That was a great game.” Said Luna. “I had such a good time. But it time for me to leave. I’ll be visiting again sometime. Farewell, Spike and Violet.”

“Bye, Luna.” Said Spike

Goodbye, Princess.”

Luna walked out the door and began flying back to Canterlot.

“So, Spike.” Said Violet. “About that beautiful place I said I would show you.”

“What about it?”

“Ready to go see it?”

“Definitely.” Said Spike, jumping from excitement.

“Then let’s go.” Said Violet.

Violet and Spike exited their house and walked through the forest, going on a trail not leading to Ponyville or Hybrid City.

After two and a half hours of walking, they finally reached where she wanted to take him.

It was a mountain overlooking a valley with several floating islands above it. Some had entire forests, others had lakes and rivers with waterfalls, while others had only grass.

“You were right.” Said Spike. “This is beautiful.”

“I know. I like coming here often. Looking out at this makes me feel completely relaxed.”

The two stopped talking for about five minutes before Violet started crying.

“Violet, what’s wrong?” Asked Spike.

Violet looked at Spike and said “I’m sorry, Spike. It’s just, I’ve never had anycreature to enjoy this with. I’ve lived alone pretty much my whole life. I just wanted to say thank you for staying with me.”

“It’s alright, Violet. I ran away because I felt alone too.” Replied Spike, hugging Violet. “I’m glad I found you, you gave me what my other friends did not.”

“T-thank you, Spike.” Replied Violet, returning the hug.

The two stayed hugging for ten minutes before heading back to their home for supper. When they finished eating, they told each other their funniest things that they’ve seen and heard. It made them laugh to the point of crying from laughter.

Before they knew it, Luna raised the moon. They went to bed not long after that.
