It's happening.

It's really happening Isn't It?

After 20 years of being born In this world One of the dragons I've been wanting to meet my entire life Is now standing In front of me.

Spike The Dragon Is here Infr-

"Uhh hello? A-Am I interrupting something?" Spike asked nervously as I shook my head to focus on the situation.

"Well not to sound like a jerk but yes you did, was there a reason you interrupted us because my brother and I were In the middle of doing something," She said sounding slightly annoyed.

"O-Oh sorry for bothering you two It's just to make a long story short I came from Ponyville following the dragons migrating back here to try and learn what It means to be a dragon!" He said looking somewhat determined and excited towards the end of his sentence.

"You're from Ponyville?" Smolder asked curious to which Spike nodded hesitantly

"Hmm, what's It like there?" She asked

"Oh, well excluding both times when the town and the world were threatened Twilight and I have enjoyed living there so far," Spike said honestly

"Twilight? Is that one of your pony friends or something?" Smolder asked

"Uh, she's not really a friend she's more kinda like......um.....well I don't know what exactly to call her but what I do know Is that we care about each other a lot." He said confidently.

"Huh, ok then," Smolder said shrugging her arms.

"So Spike you said you wanted to know what It means to be a dragon right?" I asked to which he nodded his head up and down rapidly.

"Well I mean In my opinion there isn't any special purpose to being a dragon, but guessing on how you've been living with ponies this entire time we can show you what It's like to live as a dragon though I don't know If Its all that interesting?" I suggested

"Y-Yeah! I would like that," He said looking grateful and excited.

"Yeah sure no problem," I say turning as we all begin walking, "but first, let me introduce you to my friends," I said smiling all the while

"Ember! Garble! We're back, and with somedragon else!" I call out to them as I see them pausing what looks to be their own little fight.

"Still annoyed our fight got interrupted," Smolder grumbled

"Oh uh sorry," Spike apologized causing Smolder to sigh.

"It's fine, not like we can't have one later I was just starting to get In the mood that time," Smolder said as Ember and Garble walked up to us.

"Hey guys," Ember greeted before landing her eyes on Spike," Whose this?" She asked

"This little hatchling Is Spike, he came from Ponyville to learn what It means to be a dragon," I explained causing Ember's and Garble's eyes to widen a bit before they were able to hide It.

"H-Hello," Spike said nervously

"Hey, what's that?" Ember asked pointing at the little bindle Spike was carrying

"Oh nothing just a few sandwiches I packed with me before I came here," he said as he sat down before unwrapping the tablecloth.

"Want one?" He said offering one to her.

"Su-"

"I wouldn't mind thanks for offering," Garble said pushing Ember to the side before snatching the sandwich from Spike and eating It.

"Wha- hey!" Ember yelled causing Garble to turn around to face her as he kept chewing.

"Mmeah?" He asked as he continued to chew.

"That was mine you jerk," Ember said annoyed as Garble finished eating.

"Well you snooze you lose as Falkor says," Garble said grinning before I smacked him on the back of his head.

"Ow! What was that for!?" Garble questioned

"You know exactly what that was for don't act like you're innocent," I said annoyed

"I-It's ok I still have more to share," Spike said

"See, problem solved," Garble said smiling causing Smolder and Ember to facepalm.

"Garble besides what exactly did you plan to do when you came here?" I asked acting curious

"I uh, I'm not sure really, I honestly didn't think I'd get this far," Spike admitted

"Well If you want we ca-" I begin to say only to cut myself off as I begin to hear something rapidly flying towards me.

'Is that- Oh Goddammint' I think to myself as I begin to open my shield up while I turn to face where the noise Is coming from just In time to block Viserion's attempt at a sneak attack.

"Hey Falky~," Viserion said as I began to shift the shield In an attempt to shift his weight making It easier for me to throw him off which ended up being successful as we all watched him tumble a bit before he was able to catch himself and stand back up like nothing happened.

Surprisingly enough after our fight 10 years ago, Viserion seemed to grow calmer over the years making him somewhat normal to be around even though Ember and Garble still have their reservations about him which I don't blame since I do as well, but surprisingly he's not that bad to be around when he decides to once In a blue moon hang around with us, only took 13 years but that's not important.

Another thing that I've realized Is that he also never seemed to bring that other dragon that was with him the first time we fought around anymore, why? I have no idea but to be honest that dragon attacked my brother when he wasn't paying attention so I couldn't care less about him though I hope he's doing ok at least.

Anyways you would think since Viserion calmed down over the years he would also stop asking to fight me.

Nope, instead he seemed to jump from annoying me into a fight to just initiating himself by doing these surprise attacks to catch me off guard.

Though as much as It annoys me he seems to actually listen to me now whenever I tell him there were times I didn't want to fight which, I'm not going to lie Is still taking some time to get used to.

Every time I did for some reason, he would look at me with this shit-eating grin and walk away following what I told him yet every time I couldn't help but feel like something inside of me was building and getting angrier the more I let him walk away as It felt like something was telling me that I somehow let him win and get the last laugh somehow.

Then every once In a while If he did catch me by surprise something Inside of me would just snap leading to us fighting each other until we both felt satisfied which confused me even more.

Another annoying fact Is after the first few times he caught me off guard It started to help me a bit by forcing me to listen out for anything around me more To keep anything from surprising me less, though I know If I told him that would only encourage him to do these attacks more.

"Viserion, can we not today I'm In the middle of something right now," I said exasperated causing him to frown.

"It seems like you're always In the middle of somethi-, wait a minute," He says interrupting himself as he spots Spike," Whose the whelp?" He asked sounding genuinely curious.

"His name Is Spike and he's hanging out with us for a while," I said slightly annoyed.

"U-uh excuse me, who Is that?" Spike asked me

"Oh this Is Viserion, a dragon who for some reason thinks fighting me Is one of the best things to happen to him," I said rolling my eyes.

"Well I mean If any other dragon could fight me the same way you do then maybe I wouldn't be constantly coming back to fight you now and again," He said grinning as he walked over to us, "Though, seeming as how I'm still here I think me and you know that hasn't happened yet." He said

"And like I've said before I don't fight any different than how other dragons fight you just seemed to be obsessed with me for some reason," I said pinching the bridge of my snout.

"And just like last time you're still wrong and I can prove It with just one thing," Viserion said confidently.

"Really? Fine, I'll bite, what can you come up with that proves I fight differently?" I question wondering what he'll attempt to come up with.

"That," He said pointing as I followed his finger to my arms.

"What my arms?" I asked confused

"No that thing on your wrist that gets bigger." He clarifies

"What about It?" I asked still confused

"You say you don't fight any different yet you have something that you use that not only defends yourself but something you can attack with as well and, unless I'm wrong I haven't seen any other dragon do something like that," He explained as my eyes widened at his observation.

"As much as I hate to admit that Viserion's right for once, he sorta Is Falkor," Garble said rubbing the back of his head.

"You are the only dragon who would have something like this, not to mention when the time calls for it. You are also pretty smart at times as well," Ember said looking away.

"Not that that's a bad thing by any means I'm glad you're not somedragon dumb like Garble," She said as she ignored him crying out hey In offense, "But like Garble said as much as I hate to admit It Visrerion does sorta have a point." She said

"See? Even your companions think the same thing and that's why I like fighting you, not only do you think and fight differently than the other dragons do but It seems like every time we do fight It's like we're fighting for the first time over and over again." Viserion said

"Almost like a breath of fresh air every time we fight, like there's something new to experience that never goes away when we do," Viserion explains shocking me and everyone else with his explanation as he looks at us with a self-satisfied grin.

"So yeah, like I've said plenty of times before, only you make me feel this alive every time we fight." He said

"Wow, didn't think you were capable of thinking of anything else but fighting In that tiny brain of yours," Garble said

"I have my moments, unlike a certain dragon I know," Viserion said grinning

"U-Um Is fighting that important for dragons?" Spike asked as Viserion looked at him like he was stupid.

"Is fi-"

"No," I say glaring at Viserion as he seems to get the message by rolling his eyes before I focus back on Spike, "Fighting Is not that important for dragons, It's at most an activity that some dragons like to participate In or watch," I explained to him

"So dragons constantly fight each other just to pass the time!?" Spike asked Incredulously to which I nodded.

"That doesn't sound that nice If I'm being honest," Spike admitted as Viserion scoffed.

"You know Falkor If I didn't know different colors existed I'd assume he was related to you the way the both of you seem to be allergic to the idea of fighting." Viserion snarked

"Well, why fight If you can just settle things by talking to each other?" I asked him as he proceeded to groan.

"Maker above are you sure you're a real dragon?" Viserion sarcastically asked

"Well If you want I can rip those wings off of you to make sure just In case I wasn't one I wouldn't be alone In that case," I said annoyed

"Don't threaten me with a good time Falkor," He said grinning causing me to sigh In annoyance.

"You know what I give up," I said focusing back on Spike who seemed to be mostly confused about what he just heard.

"Anyways as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted," I say glaring back at Visrerion who only shrugs back In response, "If you want we can just hang out and do some stuff that me and my companions do to have fun," I offered as Spike smiled In response.

"I would like that a lot!" He said enthusiastically causing me to chuckle while the others except Viserion smiled.

"Well alright let's not waste any time then," I say rubbing my hands, "Since we're going to be just relaxing what better way than to go to Volcanic Caves," I said smiling before pausing as I looked back at him.

"Though now that I think of It you might have to hitch a ride with one of us since you don't have any wings yourself Spike," I said to him causing him to look behind him slightly disappointed.

"Right, well uh, Is It ok If I ride with you then Falkor?" Spike asked causing my eyes to widen In surprise

"U-Uh yeah sure I don't mind," I said slightly stuttering, "Just make sure wherever you grab a hold on won't make me lose focus on flying," I told him as I got down on one knee waiting for him.

"Ok give me a minute," Spike said as he proceeded to wrap the tablecloth containing the rest of the sandwiches back around the stick before making his way over to me before pausing.

"What's wrong?" I asked him as he looked embarrassed.

"Well, I was just wondering If It wasn't too much trouble If you could hold my stuff so that way I won't lose It when we're flying over there?" Spike asked closing his eyes as I smiled down at him.

"Sure Spike I don't mind," I say grabbing the stick from him as he looks on In slight shock before sighing In relief.

"Thanks, Falkor, the tablecloth Is Twilight's and I really didn't want to lose It after she was able to convince the others to let me go on this journey for myself," Spike said as he made his way on my back wrapping two arms around my neck enough for him to get a good grip.

"No problem Spike, Now are you ready to fly?" I asked him grinning as he looked back at me excitedly.

"Yeah!" He said excited

"Alright then, you coming Viserion or not?" I asked

"Nah, no point If I can't get a fight In, see you losers later," He said before proceeding to fly off somewhere else.

"Well, I tried let's go everydragon," I say as we begin flying upwards before we make our way back over to the Volcanic Caves once again.

Author's Note

Hey again sorry for making you wait, again, for another short and probably rushed chapter but I've recently been feeling out of It and Its kinda getting to the point of annoying me alot so I'm just going to say that I do want to stick to my 5 day schedule but as proven I might sometimes take longer If something Is really bothering me so again I'm sorry for the lack of updates and also If the chapter feels rushed I am also sorry about that as well.

Also I know I posted a blog saying a small break I might still do It but I just wanted to get this chapter I was working on out first just to clear any confusion.

Though ANYWAYS ignoring that unimportant information like always comment what you liked or hated about the chapter I would really appreciate It If you did doesn't matter If Its about what you liked or what I need to improve on as long as you comment.

Also, If you didn't like how Spike was written I'm sorry this Is my first time writing Spike so knowing me I probably screwed It up so sorry about that as well, though I hope you were still able to enjoy It anyways, hopefully.

Other than that see ya sometime In the future!
