The next few days later. Spike was in his room sleeping. As he did, his alarm clock on his phone had gone off.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Spike groaned as he grabbed his phone and turned the alarm off. He slowly got out of his bed and yawned in annoyance.

"Another day of misery." Spike said to himself.

Spike began to first wash up and change from his pajamas to his normal purple shirt and green shorts. He then got up and went downstairs and saw Twilight talking to Velvet and Night Light. They turned and noticed Spike and went to their adoptive son.

"Spike? Sweetie? Are you ok?" Twilight Velvet asked in concern

"Son, we heard what happened." Night Light added

"I'm fine." Spike said as he sat down to eat dinner.

This only increased the worry of both adults as Spike ate, even Twilight and Shining noticed his bitter tone. Twilight then pulled her phone out and began to text on it.

Eventually, Spike finished his breakfast and got ready for school. He grabbed his bag and left the house, with Twilight eventually following.

(At Canterlot High)

Spike was in class listening to Mr. Cranky Doodle. As Spike wrote his notes, he also secretly began to write some ideas on his next cover song.

"Alright class, turn to page 10 pf your textbooks." Mr. Cranky Doodle said

The students did so and followed the lecture. At the same time Rainbow Dash saw Spike and texted the girls on her phone, which was in her hand under her desk.

(A few hours later)

It was lunch and the girls continued their plan, they were in the gymnasium and setting some things up.

In the meantime, Spike was in the halls texting his friend Thorax.

"Hey Thorax, you busy? If not, meet me in the music room."

As Spike walked to his destination: The music room. As Spike entered, he waited for Thorax to answer, until he saw the music classroom door open. It was Spike's friend Thorax. He wore black shirt, green white lined shoes and dark blue pants. Thorax had light blue eyes and dark black hair

"Hey Spike, you doing another song cover?" Thorax asked

Spike nodded and said "Yeah, this time it's a duet. You wanna join?"

Thorax was a bit reluctant but he ultimately complied and asked "what's the song?"

The Rainbooms were meanwhile almost finished setting up the stage and Pinkie said

"And done!"

The girls were done and looked at their work. The stage was set up there were tables with food along with some seats. There was also a large banner and the girls smiled.

"Now we need to get Spike here." Twilight said

"But how?" Fluttershy asked

The girls began to think on how to get Spike to see their apology to him. Sunset had an idea and said

"I have a plan girls."

Back in the music classroom, Spike and Thorax were busy singing another song cover. This time It was another song that had Spike a bit emotional. His phone was recording via on a podium and as Spike and Thorax sang, he did some choreography and dance moves with Thorax.

(Spike is singing Husk's lines while Thorax is singing Angel Dust's lines)

As they sang, Spike and Thorax decided to add some flare and used a smoke bomb (which Spike borrowed from Trixie) to create some smoke and the moment it dissipated, Spike wore a magician like costume while Thorax had a pink tuxedo.

They eventually finished and Spike finished recording the song on his phone and added some effects and editing on the video.

Thorax, despite his role, looked in worry upon seeing Spike's look said "By the way, are you ok Spike?"

Spike nodded and said "Yeah, why do you ask?".

Thorax in a tone of reluctance said with a worried look

"Ever since you won the cover song contest against the Rainbooms, you've been either sad or angry every time I mention them. And after that, when they started losing their fans, you started to make covers targeting them specifically."

Spike gave an unreadable look and after a few seconds said "They're not my friends. Not before. Not then.....not now."

Thorax gave a look of pity to his best friend and was about to say something...until the PA system Spike.

"Spike Sparkle, please report to the Principal Celestia immediately. Repeat, Spike Sparkle please make your way to Principal Celestia's office immediately."

Spike gave a look of surprise as Thorax also gave a look of confusion.

"Me? I guess the music video thing did go too far." Spike said

"You want some company?" Thorax asked

Spike nodded and they walked out the music room and made their way through the halls to the principal's office. As soon as they reached the office, they saw Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna with expecting looks.

"Hello you two." Principal Celestia greeted politely

"I assume you know why your both here?" Vice Principal Luna asked

Spike shook his head as Vice Principal Luna looked to Thorax and said

"Thorax, can you step outside for a minute?"

Thorax was reluctant but Spike gave an acknowledging nod and left the room. As soon as he did, they looked back at Spike.

"Spike, we were told your cover songs you've been posting had some material targeting some students here in CHS. Is this true?" Principal Celestia asked

Spike answered "No. Their just material to fit the themes of the songs I chose."

Vice Principal Luna however replied "Are you sure? Because we were shown the Poison song and those girls looked like the Rainbooms. Is something wrong?"

"That's just coincidental. I even had to add some warning texts. The cover song at the contest was a bit rusty." Spike answered with some denial.

Seeing that Spike was too persistent with his refusal, the two principals looked at each other and Principal Celestia said

"We had a feeling you would say that, that's why a student asked us if you could go to the gymnasium."

Spike was confused and asked "Why?"

Vice principal Luna said "We don't know but they said they want to see you."

Spike was confused and said "They?"

Spike was wondering who the two principals were talking about and asked

"Who was it?"

They didn't answer, instead they shrugged as Principal Celestia said

"We don't know, but they told us to tell you to go to the gym."

By this point, Spike left the office and saw Thorax, who asked

"So what happened?"

Spike replied

"I don't know, they said I had to go to the gymnasium since somebody wanted to see me."

Spike began to head to the gym with Thorax and as they reached the doors, Spike breathed a bit and slowly opened the door. As soon as it opened, the lights were off.

"Hello?!" Spike shouted as he and Thorax got in.

As they entered, the door closed suddenly.

"Huh?! Who closed the door?!" Thorax said in fear.

As they were more confused suddenly, the lights went on and suddenly the girls and students appeared and shouted

"SURPRISE!!!!"

"WHAT THE HECK?!" Spike shouted as soon as they all shouted.

"Hey Spike! Welcome to the party!" Pinkie announced with excitement.

"Party?" Spike asked

"Our We're sorry Spike and we hope you forgive us party! We made it just for you!" Pinkie Pie further explained

A large banner and a bunch of streamers flew in the air as the banner opened saying

WE'RE SORRY SPIKE!

Spike, believing it was a mere joke said while heading to the door.

"Yeah. I'm gonna go."

However, Rainbow Dash and Applejack managed to block his way.

"Come on Spike, at least give it a chance." Rainbow Dash tried to convince him.

"Please sugarcube, we wanna make this right." Applejack added with empathy

Spike wanted to go, but they kept blocking his path and Rainbow Dash even had to catch up rapidly as he tried to go to the exit. Spike, in frustration said.

"Fine. But after this I'm going."

The two nodded and began to lead Spike around. Thorax has walked with his friend and gave a look of interest and amazement while Spike gave a somewhat happy smile. As they had fun, the girls noticed Spike's joy return.

"Girls I think it's working." Rarity said

"Good, this way we can show Spike how sorry we are to him." Twilight said

The girls got ready for their gift to Spike and got their instruments.

As Spike walked around, he only wondered if this party they were throwing for him was genuine and got a drink of soda. As Spike drank it, he heard a microphone be tapped and saw Twilight and Sunset get ready to speak.

"Hello students of CHS! Today you might be wondering what your all doing here?" Sunset spoke on her mic.

There were some students who students while done gave some cold looks at her due to having seen Spike's music video, though some of the fans cheered a bit in turn as Twilight continued

"We're here to honor this party for a very special person to us. This is to show how sorry we are to him and to tell him how much of an importance he is to us."

The girls signaled a spotlight to aim at Spike, who was sitting alone until he noticed he was in the spotlight.

"Huh?!" Spike said upon noticing the light on him.

The other students looked at the confused green haired teen as Sunset said

"Spike, all your life we always took advantage of you and neglected you your whole life. You were always there for us but we were never there for you. This song is dedicated to you."

https://m.

As the girls sang, Spike saw the students cheering and Thorax was also enjoying the show as well. He was a bit reluctant to join the festivities, until he saw the girls using screen player to show the moments he had helped them. For example, one showed Spike helping Fluttershy with her animals, another photo showed him with Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres helping around with Granny Smith, Big Macintosh and Apple Bloom. A few more photos showed Twilight and Spike bonding together and ended with them in a full photo shot together.

Spike saw the screen and gave a small smile but was left conflicted on the friendship he had with Twilight and the others and on the things they did to him. Eventually Spike, with a look of regret walked away, with the girls eventually finishing the song. The audience cheered and the Rainbooms bowed, until Sunset noticed Spike was gone.

"Huh? Where did Spike go?" Sunset said

The students and Thorax also looked and noticed Spike was gone from the gym.

"He was just here a second ago." Rainbow Dash added

"Maybe the little guy's in the bathroom?" Applejack said in curiosity.

"Or maybe he left." Rarity further countered

"I guess this didn't work. Let's go girls, we blew it." Twilight said in sadness.

"Twi come on we-" Pinkie tried to say, but Twilight cut her off.

"No Pinkie, we blew it with Spike. It's official, we were never his friend and we deserved it with that music video he posted of us at the contest. Let's go. Spike was right, we are frauds." Twilight said in sadness and guilt

The girls and students gave looks of pity for Twilight as she walked off the stage. Though just before the others could leave. The spotlights came on them. Fluttershy noticed this and said

"Huh? Why are the spotlights on us now?"

The girls were confused and wondered what was going on. Until they heard somebody singing. They looked at the person and suddenly, they came into view. They saw none other then Spike with a microphone singing.

https://m.

(Ps, Spike sings Lute's parts while the Rainbooms sing Adam's parts. No, none of the girls will kiss Spike btw. Video belongs to rightful owner).

As Spike sang the first part, he lended a hand to Twilight, who gave a smile back and took it as Spike sang, even some of the Rainbooms joined in too.

The song Spike was singing had touched the hearts of the students, including Thorax who saw his friend let go of his grudge. Eventually the song stopped and Spike said to the girls

"I forgive you."

Twilight, with tears in her eyes, hugged Spike. The Rainbooms also joined the hug and the fans cheered at their reconciliation. Eventually, they broke the hug and Spike said in guilt

"I'm sorry about the music video. I guess I let my jealousy and anger get to me."

The girls however smiled and each nodded with acknowledgement.

"It's ok Spike, we deserved it for how we treated you." Sunset said

"Plus we never should have neglected or hurt you that way. I guess we did kinda deserve it." Rainbow Dash added

"And from now on, we promise we'll treat as if you were one of us." Applejack promised

Spike nodded as the audience cheered at their friendship being renewed. Even Thorax whistled in approval and acknowledgement.

(After school)

Spike was back home and was a bit reluctant to speak to Twilight Velvet and Night Light. Until Twilight have a reassuring hand in his back. Spike then entered and said

"Mom? Dad? You home?"

The two adults looked at Spike and Twilight Velvet said

"Spike? Your home, is everything ok?"

"I am, but I need to say something important." Spike replied.

The two looked at Spike, waiting for his explanation before Spike sighed in some air and said

"I know sorry isn't enough. And what I did was wrong, from borderline slandering and defaming Twilight and her friends to ignoring you two, Twilight, Shining and her friends all at once. I know you don't want to forgive me but-"

Night Light however cut Spike off and said

"Spike, we weren't mad. We were a bit disappointed and worried after Twilight told us what was going on with you."

Twilight Velvet further said to Spike

"And sweetie, we understand you were upset, but what you did really hurt your sister and her friends."

Spike only gave a look of shame until Velvet continued.

"But we see you had a fair reason since Twilight always kept neglecting you for her friends. And we did too. We're sorry too sweetie, can you forgive us?"

Spike gave a small smile and nodded as he hugged his adoptive parents. Twilight watched the scene with a smile and said

"Good job Spike. You really are one of a kind."
