Disclaimer, Explanation and Prologue

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. THIS IS A FANFICTION, AND IS TO BE USED ONLY FOR PLEASURE (not that way you dirty minded pervs... Well, maybe a little). PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY WORK, BUT IF YOU SHARE IT, PLEASE LINK IT BACK TO ME.

If you have any questions, PM me. Otherwise, let's get to the explanation and prologue (I would really suggest reading this to get an idea of what this story is about!

So, there have been 6 (ongoing) seasons of MLP:FIM, which started in 2011. Say ponies go by human years, but dragon years are a bit slower. Now, after doing calculations, Spike turns out to be 18 in 2016, but for the sake of the story, we'll say he's 13 in 2016 (but is a late bloomer, so he is short, but grows a lot in 2 years like me lol), and Ember is 15ish. This story takes place in 2018, so Spike is about 15, and Ember is 17ish. This is how I feel most comfortable telling my story. Also, Spike got over Rarity (I mean Jesus, he's not that dumb. He can take a hint).

The reason I am writing this is because I am CRAZZZZZYYYY over the ship of Ember and Spike. It's like the writers/creators wanted this ship. THEY FED IT RIGHT TO THE MLP:FIM COMMUNITY! *Ahem…* But also because I don't see a lot of these fan fics/stories/comic's, so I guess it's not popular enough, or everyone is too lazy to write this fic. Whatever the reason, I'm writing it, and I hope you enjoy it.

PROLOUGE

This story takes place about 2 years after the call to compete to be the Dragon Lord. Ever since then, Dragon Lord Ember has made many trips to Ponyville, and some trips to Canterlot (royal duties). Almost every time one of these trips was made, Spike was there to see Ember, greet her, and say his goodbyes.

Over the course of these 2 years, Ember has learned a lot about everyday life in the pony world, one of the few is feelings. Because of this, Ember and Spike have grown a likeness to each other. They both secretly have had a crush on each other, without the other knowing it. But one day, Ember gets a letter from Princess Twilight saying her presence is needed in Ponyville immediately…
