The world is a complex ecosystem, and as such it can and will be affected easily with a slight change. Most ponies, dragons, gryphons, you name it call it butterfly effect.

So, I the narrator will disclose to you this story , perhaps more of a warning of what happens when "the butterfly bats its wings" and you forgot you set it free in the first place.


We find ourselves in ponyville, one city of the wide domain in equestria, land of friendship, land of oportunity but most importantly land of ponies.

While its true that equestria seeks and has always had interest in "sinergy" with other species truth is that dragons where always interesting in this equation.

At first feared due to ignorance since dragon interacting with ponies was rare and as such their bad interactions resonated with strenght in the populus.

This fear thus qucly changed to lack of trust after twlight sparkle hatched spike's egg making her and celestia his adoptive mothers by chance thus making him a citizen in equestria bust most importantly adopted son of celestia herself.

Not long after this lack of trust changed into predjudice, marginating this innocent child at least fot a time. This of course after years brew spike's obession and devotion to knowledge and being of use to his sister, twilight. Not long after, this predjudice turned into patronizing seeing him more as a butler or a pet rather than a family member of the sparkle house hold.

(Take in mind this all hapenned when he was but a child, even younger than the story in the series.)

Of course being as he is, combined with years of interaction between both species growing, the economy blooming and most importantly his deeds being know to the public as well as a rumor or 2 helped; be it saving an empire, helping his friends to a fault, avoiding a war with dragons, making changelings a friendly species and an asset to the nation rather than enemies, making a name for himself and of course allowing more useful and general knowledge of dragons known to the public and thus making most ponies versed in dragons rather than afraid of them.

After all this development by the time he was but a young lad, dragons became actually respected, thanks in no small part to an increasing friendship bond between nations thanks to him and ember

This change for good however, soon got bastardized in many ways, one being that now not only dragons as a species but more specifically he himself became icons, be it of religion, of sex, or strengh.

To put it simply they became an object of desire, be it for power, lust, manpower, religious delirium and overall nasty things, wich i will leave to your imagination.

Hower this wave of fanatism and "dragon fever" thanks in no little part to the crystal empire did not change the fact that broad populi now accepted dragons as equals, or well perhaps as friends.

In this regards, this story as such is centered on spike the fist dragon introduced to pony society. This lad wich right now is laying in his now stallion sized bed.

Spike, the local dragon and most known dragon in equestria, brother in law to the local princess twlight, and now personal advisor rather than assistant is laying in his bed thinking about his 19th birthday

Not much has changed since their last adventure, when they deafeated Cozy glow and her goons, however one thing did change and that was spike.

His wings had gotten bigger as well as his tail, his torso, his head, his maw,his legs and his spikes.

He is now an adult, not that it was that long ago when he was but an adolescent in the show afterall.

His scales are smooth, with a translucent shine, one that if compared to anything was moist. His body now matured, his face now more imposing but still endearing, his features a lot more dragon like now but his size that of an adult pony, perhaps a little taller than average stallion.

In resume, this lad has a very generous glow up very fast .

*yawn* "man, i wonder if twilight get me a book a gain... hopefully not"

*raises from the bed* "well wont find out until i do" he said

He then went all fours down the castle stairs, directly to the entrance. This, not because he could not walk in 2 legs but because it was easier for him to do it in 4 legs now.

Opening the door and walking outside he looked at the now slightly more diverse populi, a gryphon here and there, a jack or two. The city, now bigger than ever was busting with life.

That was all he saw until one earth mare, of cream furr, with blue mane, a camera cutie mark and a small design black hat came trotting to him "Mr spike!, good to find you here!"

*sigh* "what do you need, creme a la moude? He said, clearly annoyed".

*she gasped* "Sir spike why are you so cold? You should just call me creamy like all my friends do!! She exclaimed.

"Well, sorry but im not your friend, i was your model for a a magazine ONCE and you have never left me alone since then"

"Why, of course afterall i need you to model for me more!!! I made good bits you know?. Besides i like you a lot in more ways than one" she said, moving her brows in waves, clearly flirting

"Well i dont!! Do you even know what has happened to me because of it!!? I LITERALLY ASKED YOU TO NOT SELL IT IN THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!!!

"What? More mares and some stalions drooling over you" she said with a questioning brow " oh poor old you getting some attention from mares THE HORROR" she said in a mocking tone.

"A random crystal mare literally postrated herself in front of me in the middle of ponyville in a doggy sex style position while giving begging groans and pushing her flank on my maw" he said in a blank face.

" twilight still has nightmares of it from time to time, even i do"

*wide eyes* " uhhh... ummmm well... * cough* anyway i .... need you for a clothing commercial a-are you interested?" She said with a sheepish smile.

*sigh* i guesss if its just a clothing one.... fine . As long as its not another gig involving covering me in massaging oil and placing me in a somewhat compromising position its ok.... *grunt* faust do i bucking hate that massaging oil marketing gig.

"Great!!!!, oh and uhmmm h-have you considered what i told you after our last gig? " She said with glimmering eyes.

"....sorry but no. I just cant, ok?"

"Oh... i-i- i see..." she said as her smile and ears drop.

" ¿You still like her, right?" she asked in a whisper

"Look... i- i-i know you and me have NOWHERE near history as you have with her i know i have only known you for like 4 or 5 years now but... but i... i really like you and she... she will ne-"

"SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!!" He screamed.

The mare backed a way a step as everyone looked at them.

*Gasp* " IM SORRY!!! I did not meant to hurt you its just... she was saying until

"No, im sorry. I -i should not have screamed at you i am just im tired of everyone telling me its not gonna happen, its frustrating. *sigh* im really, really sorry.... forgive me creamy" he said as he looked to the side.

*gasp* s-spike y-you just called me... she said with tears in her eyes and a teary smile.

"Anyway, sorry but i have to go. I will see you for the details of the gig tomorrow." He interrupted her as he slowly walked away to sugar corner until he hear her say from the distance.

"Goodbye spike, just please ... think about it" , she then whispered a barely audible " i love you"

Spike stopped for a second in thought, then shaked his head and went to celebrate his birthday in sugar cube corner.

As he opened the door he...
