Spike chewed with enthusiasm as he could see Lightning Dust was ahead of him by one pie. He quickly shoveled the remains of his first one into his mouth and grabbed the final one like a starved coyote.
He saw eating it piece by piece wouldn't give the win, but maybe eating it differently would work. He grabbed the pie tin itself and lifted it to his face and let the pie slide out and into his opened mouth.
"Time!" Cherry stopped the watch as she looked at the pile of pie tins on both sides. After doing the calculations in her head, she walked over to Spike and held up one of his claws. "We have a winner!" cheered Cherry as she stomped her hooves in a form of clapping as Spike gave a smile with his pie covered face.
"Heh, looks like you beat me Spike." replied Lightning who hadn't had a pie eating contest like that in quite a while. "But next time, we'll see who's really the champ."
Spike weakly brought one of his claws up in her direction and replied, "You're on." it was at that moment that Spike closed his eyes while putting his claws on his belly.
"Spike?" Cherry felt a little nervous with Spike suddenly closing his eyes like that, but she heard him began to snore and felt embarrassed with herself at not thinking he would be tired after that ordeal. Who would have guessed a simple visit would turn into an insane pie eating contest?
Cherry picked him up with her hooves and carefully placed him on her back before walking over to a guest room. She gently placed the baby dragon on the bed and made sure he was covered so he wouldn't get cold. She gave a gentle smile to him before gently closing the door.
The earth pony and pegasi headed back to the living room and saw their friends Trixie and Gilda standing there. "Trixie, Gilda." cherry trotted up to the unicorn and gryphon and gave them both a hug that they returned.
"What are you two doing here?" asked Lighting Dust to the two of them.
"Well, we came here because me and Gilda first noticed how odd Spike seemed to acting. We saw you and him fly over here and waited to see if he was acting strange to you two." replied Trixie who felt embarrassed that they had to basically stalk their own friends.
"Oookay, well Spike hasn't really been acting weird from what we've seen. But, it did seem odd how he didn't seem to remember the promise I made to him. But I just brushed that off at simply forgetting it because of the years."
"But doesn't that strike you as odd? Spike always had a keen memory, even when he was a baby." replied Trixie holding her hoof to her chin.
"Yeah, maybe we should send a message to Sunset and the princesses." replied Gilda.
Trixie used her magic to levitate a scroll to her face and used a quill to write down the message. After she was done, she used her magic to send the scroll to the princesses.
Meanwhile, Spike himself was moving around the bed as he was having a strange dream.
(Spike's dream)
Spike opened his eyes and saw that everything looked different. Like everything grew while he shrank. He tried to stand up, but he started to wobble around on his legs. He nearly fell over, but was stopped by a dark blue colored hoof.
"Easy there, little one." Spike looked up and was confused to see Nightmare Moon standing there, and apparently helping him stand up.
Spike looked up as he saw Nightmare Moon smile at him before looking at some other pony that seemed to be behind him. He slowly turned around and saw the same crimson fur alicorn from his vision earlier. She appeared as intimidating as Nightmare Moon, but looked at him with a look in her eyes that assured him that he would not be harmed.
He turned his vision to a figure smaller than the two alicorns that was standing beside the larger one's leg. At closer inspection, it was a little filly, that looked like a younger Sunset Shimmer. She seemed to be shy as her eyes darted between him and the red alicorn.
"A-are you sure I can handle this, princess?" asked the filly Sunset looking at the purple baby dragon.
"Of course, Sunset Shimmer. He may be my son, but with all the meetings, paperwork, and keeping the eclipse at its position everyday, I just don't have enough time to raise him. I want him to be raised in an environment where he will have friends and not feel lonely. That is why I am entrusting him to you, so he can feel comfortable around all the different species of equestria." replied the alicorn.
"But what if he misses you?" asked Sunset.
"Simple. Whenever I have time, I will come by and have some quality time with my son." the red alicorn brought her head down to Spike's face. "Goodbye for now, Spike. I truly wish you could stay with me, but I wouldn't have enough time to raise you. And with your aunt needed with me to help keep the eclipse going, it wouldn't help either to try and have her raise you. Just remember this, I will always be there for you. I love you Spike." the red alicorn rubbed her forehead with his and he surprisingly rubbed back and felt sad to see her and Nightmare Moon walk out of the home and fly into the sky.
His attention was brought to Sunset as she looked at him and brought out a smile on her young face. "Hi there. My name's Sunset Shimmer. I hope we can be good friends."
Spike could see that the dream was beginning to fade and merely walked up to Sunset and held her foot as she smiled at the young dragon. Soon the whole picture faded to black.
(End of dream)
Spike opened his eyes as he felt his head pounding again like last time, but it felt different. At first he began to feel real uncomfortable when he landed in this new world, but now it felt like this world was feeling cozy.
"What's going on with me?"

Meanwhile, Solar Flare could be seen reading the letter that Trixie had sent her, regarding Spike's personality.
"Hmm, perhaps Spike's birthday party will help me see how my son is acting. In the meantime, you two are welcome to attend as well if you like." Solar Flare turned her slitted pupils to figures in the dark.
"I don't see why not. A party does sound nice." replied the first figure that seemed sweet, yet had a dark undertone.
"Whatever." muttered the second figure whose voice seemed as though they would be anywhere else.
"Excellent. I hope my pupil is doing alright with my son's surprise."

Sunset Shimmer stood back to admire her work on Spike's surprise while he had been out.
"Spike will just love this. If the princesses attend, maybe they'll here my request. Well, time to get the guests ready." replied Sunset who trotted off to start sending the invites.

OK people, sorry for the wait, I was working on other stuff. And I'm pretty sure you all understand that I work from one story to another, so it's hard to keep tabs on what I'm working. So I'm sorry for that, but if I stay too focused on one story for way too long, there's a good chance it won't be as good if I don't get some time to think about. Anyways, if you have any questions regarding what's going on, or who will be in the harem, either put it in a review that I can reply back, or a pm. Anyways, see ya.
