Spike's new home

The next morning, Violet and Spike got up a little earlier than usual to start getting ready for Spike’s birthday party.

“Are you excited for your birthday party, Spike?”

“Definitely. It’s going to be so much fun.”

“I’m sure it will be.”

“So, Violet, when is your birthday?”

“My birthday is about two months from now.”

“That’s not very much time. How do you celebrate?”

“Well, I don’t really.”

“What?!” Exclaimed Spike, shocked. “Why?”

“Because when my birthday comes, I think of my family. Then I found out that when I don’t celebrate, it doesn’t hurt as much.” Replied Violet with tears in her eyes.

“Violet, I know that you miss your family, but that shouldn’t stop you from celebrating. I may not have met your family, but I know that they wouldn’t want you to do that.”

“Thanks, Spike. You’re the best friend I’ve ever had.”

“Your welcome, Violet. Now, let’s finish preparing for my birthday party,”

“Sounds good.”

Spike and Violet continued setting up for the party. It took them a few hours, but they were eventually finished.

“Spike, I’ve been wondering. Who’s the other guest you said that you were inviting?”

“Oh, he should be here any minute to help with the invitations.”

Right after he said that, they heard knocking at the door.

“I bet that’s him.” Said Spike.

Violet and Spike walked to the door and opened it to reveal a unusual figure that looked like something took a bunch of different limbs off of random creatures and smashed them together.

“Hello. I was told that this was where Spike’s birthday party was going to be and that he needed help with invitations.”

“Um. . .Okay.” Said Violet.

“Don’t worry, Violet. This is my friend Discord. Discord, this is Violet Spark.”

“Pleased to meet you.” Said Discord.

“Hello, Discord, was it?” Said Violet. “Are you sure he’s not dangerous?” Violet whispered to Spike.

“I’m very sure.”

“Well, if you trust him, then I do too.”

“Great.” Replied Spike. “So, Discord, about the invitations.”

“Right. What should be on them?”

“I invite you all to my 15th birthday party. The party will start at 3:30 today and will last 5 hours. There will be cake, ice cream, cookies, and other treats.”

“Is that everything?” Asked Discord

“Yep.” Replied Spike. “I want them delivered to Twilight and her friends, the three Princesses, Shining Armor, Twilight and Shining’s parents, and the CMCs.”

“Consider it done.” Said Discord before teleporting away.

“There, now that that’s done, we should go to Hybrid city for the treats.”

“Yeah, let’s do that.” Replied Violet.

Spike and Violet went to Hybrid city to purchase the treats for the party.

Meanwhile, in Ponyville, Discord had gathered everypony Spike said to give the invitations to in the throne room of Twilight’s castle.

“Why did you bring us here, Discord?” Asked Twilight.

“I brought you here to give you these.” He replied, handing out the invitations.

They all read the invitations and quickly got excited.

“SPIKE IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!” Screamed Pinkie.

“Well, I’m free for the day.” Said Twilight. “What about all of you?”

“I don’t have any plans.” They all replied together.

“Great.” Replied Twilight. “Discord, you’ll come too, right?”

“Of course, I will.” Replied Discord. “Spike is my pal.”

“Well then, it’s only 11:30 right now. Maybe we could go a little early.”

“Sounds good.” Replied Cadence, speaking for everpony.

The ponies left the castle to buy gifts for Spike. Each one being something that he would treasure for a long time.

3 hours later, Spike and Violet had just finished setting up for the party.

“Well, it’s ready.” Said Spike

“Yeah, now we just have to wait.”

5 minutes later, they heard knocking.

“They’re here.” Exclaimed Spike, quickly rushing to open the door.

When he opened it, everpony outside shouted, “Happy birthday, Spike.”

“Come on in, everpony.” Said Spike.

The guests walked into the house, finding it completely decorated with purple and green decorations. They all set the gifts in a pile before chatting with each other.

Twilight walked up to Spike to ask him something.

“Spike.”

“Yeah, Twilight.”

“I’m glad you invited us to this, but why did you? I thought you were mad at us.”

“Well, I’ve been thinking a lot the last few days, and even if I don’t go back to Ponyville, I wanted to, at least somewhat, fix our friendship with you guys.”

“Oh, that makes sense. I’m happy that you are doing it.”

“Me too, Twilight.”

After an hour and a half, Spike and Violet decided that it was time to cut the cake.

“Everypony.” Said Spike, loud enough for them to hear him. “I wanted to thank everypony that came to my birthday party today. I really appreciate it. Now, it’s time to cut the cake.”

Violet started to cut the cake, giving the first piece to Spike, since it was his birthday. Then she got a piece, followed by Discord, Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Velvet, Night, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow, Apple bloom, Sweetie belle, and Scootaloo last.

When everypony finished the cake, Spike began to open the gifts.

Twilight got him a set of plushies to remind him of his friends from Ponyville, Applejack and Apple bloom got him a small shelf for anything he gets, Pinkie got him a custom party cannon, Rarity and Sweetie belle got him a blanket with the elements of harmony that they created, Celestia and Luna got him a lamp with the sun on one side and the moon on the other, Fluttershy got him a bag of bird seed so he could feed the birds, Rainbow and Scootaloo got him a sonic rainboom poster, Cadence and Shining got him a mini version of the Crystal Castle with the Crystal heart, Velvet and Night got him a sack of large jewels, and Violet got him the most important, but unwrapped, gift, A loving mother. She had secretly got adoption papers for Spike while they were in Hybrid city earlier.

“Spike.” Said Violet. “My gift is something that you’ll treasure for the rest of your life.”

She pulled out the adoption paper. “Spike, would you like me to be your mother?”

When Spike saw his gift from Violet, he started crying from joy.

“T-thank y-you.” Said Spike, Violet hugging him.

“Awww.” Said the rest of the ponies there.

“This was the best birthday party I’ve ever had.” Said Spike, still hugging Violet.

When they finished hugging, Spike thanked everpony for the gifts. The guests stayed for a little while longer before they began to leave, one by one.

Before Twilight left, she had one more thing to say to Spike.

“Spike, I wish you the best life with your new mother.”

“But aren’t you upset that she kinda replaced you?”

“No, I’m not. I was a terrible caretaker since we moved to Ponyville. I took something that I shouldn’t have.”

“What was that?”

“A normal childhood. Spike, I’m truly sorry for everything.”

“It’s fine, Twilight.”

“Well, I should probably get back to Ponyville. Goodbye, Spike.”

“See you soon, Twilight.”

When the last guest left, Spike and Violet hugged each other one more time before they went to bed.
