Spike felt great sure guilt was eating away at him every time his mom flapped her wings (she was flying him to holliberry hill it turns out it was at the edge of dragon territory, instead of worrying about what was at the edge of dragon territory though he decided to have a casual conversation with his mother. "So, what was that you were going to tell me about wings?" Spike eagerly asked, "As I was saying yesterday they are the traits you think are most important in life for example my wing story it's a gem." Spike brought himself onto a position that he thought would be comfortable for a long story then said, "go ahead but you'd better slow down or else I won't be able to hear it all."

Okay I'm going to try something new here and tell me if you like how I'm formatting it.

Long back in the days of Discord when I was a young dragon I asked my parents "how come you have wings and I don't?" They chuckled and said "you'll get your wings when the time is right." I was impatient and said, "But I want it now!" I whined as if my parents could do anything about it. "Give it time." They said "your wings will come." Years passed by then one day when I was around teenage age a group of dragons came up to me. "Maybe your wings will come by bravery." They sneered then started pushing me, "come on where's your guts." They asked mockingly I then felt myself loose breath I was close to the edge of the pit where I used to play. Then they gave me one big shove and I was falling. Then a dragon about my age with wings caught me. He had bright green scales. "You okay those guys are complete jerks they did the same to me before I had my wings and Mother Earth behold I was bravery." I chuckled, "you might be but I am not." He chuckled and said, "I'll see you around." Then he let me land softly on the ground.

Years past I was still a runt for my age but by that age I had proven to be a natural magic using dragon which even back then was rare, but some dragons were happy to remind me I couldn't magic myself wings. Luckily by then I was going out with the green dragon who was happy to protect me. One fateful day I saw a young dragon being pushed off the same pit I had she was fighting back but not hard enough she fell. It was that moment when I wished for wings so I could save her, so I could repay the debt to Mother Earth I wanted to save her out of the kindness in my heart. I felt a tingling feeling on my back and without thinking I flew into a fast dive and saved her life.

By the time she finished her story they had gotten to holliberry hill. Spike barely got enough time to say thanks mom before she flew off one claw at him waving goodbye. Spike looked forward and at first only noticed the scenery. There were small berry bushes surrounding every other corner they were the brightest red he'd ever seen! And multiple shades of red too. Then he looked forward, what he saw was just as beautiful. Her golden scales reflected light off the sun making them gleam and sparkle almost as much as her chocolate colored eyes. "So you ready to go?" She asked politely. He said his voice going into a squeak "sure." He then cleared his voice and tried to make it sound deeper. "Sure girl whateves." He said trying to sound cool. She giggled but Spike recognized it wasn't a "oh you're so cut I want to marry you!" Giggle that other Rarity used to give Prince Blueblood it was the, "oh my goosh you're trying to hard this is just a casual meeting." Type giggle that Rarity gave him oh the most terrible friend zone did it ever end?! Instead of saying the casual meeting thing out loud though she said, "Come on then race you to the top of the hill." Boy that dragon could run. It was almost as if she was flying, but she slowed down when she got too fast just so they could talk together. It was casual but not bad it made him feel more comfortable with her then he would if he'd dated Rarity, and soon it became obvious to even him that the almighty friend zone wasn't where they were. They were running up a hill claw in claw talking. And that was good enough for him.

When they reached the top of the hill they were both covered in red (berries they'd picked on the way up) and were laughing so much Discord would be jealous. "So you're telling me Garble doesn't like you because either 1. You embarrassed him or 2. Because you lived with ponies?" She had taken the pony thing pretty well at least she didn't stop holding his claw when he said it but she did get a weird look on her face when he mentioned Rarity. "That doesn't sound like Garble at all he only doesn't like someone like he doesn't like you if they show terrible amounts of weakness." Now Spike was confused again, "why wouldn't he like weaklings?" She smirked, "didn't your mom tell you her wing story?" She asked Spike nodded, "well Garble's wings stand for strength. Inner and outer strength that's why he gives the dragons who want to be in his pack an initiation, if you break the egg you show ruthlessness a trait of a coward. If you don't you prove bravery. I was part of his pack before but... That's a story for another time anyway he wouldn't hate you for not breaking the egg." Spike nodded understanding his intentions now, "I think I gave the quality's he was looking for at first but I think he hated me when I ran."Goldscales spit out a piece of the berry she was eating, "you ran after standing up for your friends. If you'd stayed he would have allowed you in his pack you would have been the youngest member since I joined." Spike now wanted to hear that story. "Alright I know now something went on between you and Garble in the past and I want to know what." Goldscales smiled, "I knew you weren't a coward, I'll tell you my story every single part if you tell me yours deal?" Spike closed his eyes and thought then said "deal."
