Spike's Trouble's
Chapter 1: Hard Thinking
It was another sunny morning in Ponyville, foals were getting to class, mares and stallions were getting up for work. Twilight Sparkle was up a little bit early to more studies than usual, she had been doing this for the last 2 weeks, and she was getting bossy and cranky to Spike. Most of the time Twilight would apologize for her behavior, she wasn't, and Spike was getting tired of being pushed around. He felt like a slave, working all day, almost no time to eat! But it wasn't just Twilight, all the other ponies in the gang. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie would always pull harmless pranks on him, but later, he found that the pranks were starting to become dangerous. Once Rainbow Dash let him ride her in the air, but Rainbow Dash purposely dropped him, and almost at the last second, she would catch him. RD always found it funny, but Spike never did. And Pinkie Pie would put ingredients in her cupcakes that would knock Spike out, and he would wake up back at his house. Rarity was getting caught up in her work, and would use her magic to throw spike out. And when Spike would come to visit Applejack, she would ALWAYS get scared and double hoof kick him in his gut. She would say it was an accident, but he started to believe it wasn't an accident. Fluttershy would be the only one who would show him some form of respect. Thoughts would swirl up in Spike's brain, of suicide. But he wasn't suicidal because of the ponies, but because he would always feel lonely, because there were no female dragons, or ANY dragons in Equestria. He had been thinking long and hard, if he should take his life away, but always have a solution, but only to bring up another problem.
He decided that he should make up his mind, while Twilight went out to retrieve a book. Spike started looking for a knife of some sort, he found one, and was about to end his life, until Twilight immediately walked in and used her magic to instantly throw the knife across the room.
"Spike what are you doing!" Twilight yelled with redness in her eyes.
"I cannot live anymore! I am the only dragon in Equestria! And I have been treated like dirt recently!" Spike yelled back in frustration.
Twilight started to tear up, and she had to write to Princess Celestia about this.
That night, twilight wrote her own letter, and made Spike send it. About 5 minutes later, spike burped out a scroll. It read:
To my dearest student, Twilight Sparkle,
I understand that Spike is now going through is maturing, all dragons go through this, and always have suicidal thoughts, but since Spike is feeling lonely and sad, it is even worse for him. I need you to keep a eye on him closely, he will be in this stage for about 2 weeks.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia
Twilight re-read the letter many times, before looking at Spike.
"S-Spike?" Twilight said stuttering.
"Yes?" Spike replied.
"The Princess says that you are going through a mature stage, and that you will have suicidal thoughts for a while, but it is even worse than you."
"How is that?" Spike questioned.
"Well you did tell me you have been lonely being the only dragon in Equestria."
Spike only sighed when he went to bed, not wanting to be reminded of his loneliness.
The next morning, Spike slept in, and Twilight made breakfast. She informed her 5 friends of what Spike was going through, and that she needed their help.
"Hey mares can I ask you something?" Twilight whispered not wanting to wake Spike.
"Sugarcube you can tell us anything ya want." Applejack replied quietly.
"Yes darling tell us everything." Rarity said with curiosity in her voice.
"Spike is going through maturing, and he begins to get suicidal thoughts." Twilight whispered
All five of the ponies gasped.
"But it is even worse for Spike, considering he is the only dragon of Equestria." twilight whispered.
All of the ponies stood at Twilight blankly processing what she just said.
"So I need everypony to help me watch after spike."
"Of course." Applejack whispered.
"Certainly dear" Rarity said softly.
"Okay" Fluttershy said softer than usual.
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly.
"He'll never touch a knife." said Rainbow Dash quickly.
"Thanks everypony."
