It was the last night for Spike he was going to Ponyville tomorrow morning, so he decided to ask one final question "mom who's Mother Nature?" His mother's smile went from one ear to ear. "Mother Nature is the one we dragons believe was our original creature we all know of the tree of harmony and the tree of chaos but who allowed those seeds to grow up who planted and nourished them since the beginning and is still nourishing them now. We believe it was a force called Mother Nature. Some call it God. We prefer to call it mother for… Reasons you don't need to know." Spike nodded for some reason he had never thought about the one who planted the tree's "thanks mom that's all I wanted to know goodnight."

The next day Spike had two feelings that should never mix. Happiness and sadness it made him cry and laugh. It was a conundrum luckily he wouldn't be stuck in it too long. He left that morning at sunrise (early to surprise Twilight who woke up early often.) Goldscales who apparently sometimes helped her mom with the sunrise came to see him off. Then he was off. His mother hit the landing and surprise, surprise Twilight was up with the sun. It was a happy reunion. Apple Jack a few days ago got some apples and other supplies from the kitchen and made the snacks. Rarity made the decorations, Pinkie made the games, Rainbow Dash made sure the sky was clear and woke up early to do it (for a change she also got permission from the weather ponies in Canterlot harder to do then it sounds.) and Twilight made a checklist to make sure everybody did what was needed to make this a great reunion, and she succeeded. Spike's mom almost left before the party started, "you're with your family now and I shouldn't intrude." Spike shook his head, "but you're my family too and I want you to be here the ponies will love you once they get to know you. Fluttershy might be the best one to start with though the others might be a bit… hesitant towards you." So she stayed the whole party most of the time speaking to Fluttershy in a low voice that no pony could hear. Then there were the welcome home gifts. There was only one from each of them. (They'd grown nervous about giving him gifts ever since his birthday.) He got an Apple shaped like a fireruby. (She said that she had the idea but Apple Bloom cut out its shape.) Twilight got him a book of dragons' theory's (he already knew more than that book about dragons but it did have some interesting potions in it that he would ask Zecora about. When he asked where she got it though she said that The Great and Powerful Trixy had let her keep it and nothing more.) Pinkie Pie gave him a party in a box (open it up and you'll get a party as good as I can make! All you need is to get your friends.) Rainbow Dash gave him a mug that said 'best dragon' on it with him with his apron on the front. Fluttershy gave him a whistle (he couldn't here what she said it did everypony else was too noisy.) And Rarity gave him an outfit made entirely out of various Gems. All to quickly the party ended, and things got serious.

"You know how often prophesys are miss interpreted." Said Twilight remembering when her future self talked to her and she freaked out. "For all we know it's not even Spike the prophesy is talking about and if it is there is nothing we can do but wait for the problem to come to us." Twilight had spent a lot of time with Luna rereading her letters to Celestia and realized how little she followed their advice and made a goal to do better. "But Twilight dear if it's Spike they're talking about being Chaos bane and all, shouldn't we do something to make sure nothing happens to him before the prophesy is for filled, after all it doesn't say we'll surely win this battle." Said Rarity, "and none of us would feel quite right if we sent Spikey Wiky away, so what are we going to do?" Rarity summoned her fainting couch, "this is the worst Possible THING." Apple Jack sighed, "as little as I agree with Rarity I have to agree with her here this a downright disaster! What are we going to do with him? Not to mention you Twilight if you forgot you're an alicorn! You might have a huge part to play in this keeping you here at the castle will only endanger everypony else and yourself and the other princesses!" Fluttershy like always tried to say something, "Um everypony- I think I um have a small idea and it could help us." Rainbow Dash who heard Fluttershy said, "Then tell us what it is, before Twilight gets mad again." Twilight's hair was turning a yellow red at the end and her skin was whitening making every pony nervous. "Well um Spike and will have to I think it would be best if he moved in with me for a while." She was twirling her hooves as she spoke. Twilight's mane and skin (fur?) had gone back to the normal purple. "Why?" "Because my house is close to the Everfree so we can see what happened and it wouldn't seem weird for me to own a baby dragon. Besides Twilight, the enemy whoever he or she is will probably all ready know that you own his bane, so if you two are split up everypony will be safer I think." Even the dragon was looking at her now. But she, unlike the others was smiling. "You are the element of kindness I presume?" Fluttershy nodded hit with an irrational want to bolt. "You are strong in fact you might be stronger than the others if you realized your strength I wouldn't trust my son and chaos bane to anypony not even Twilight though I realize her heart's in the right place she wasn't meant for this job she's still healing. You on the other hand would take care of him like he's your own son. Not some sort of problem or a rare gift but a dragon. Which is what he is in his heart, so I ask you if you will take him?" Half of Fluttershy was saying, "No I'm not ready you take him instead I couldn't handle the pressure!" The other half was one she rarely heard before and usually she ended up using the stare when it came but this time it spoke in a sweet soft and determined voice. "You are ready for this you got over your fear of dragons long ago you never feared Spike even when he was ferocious and you don't fear him for a reason you respect him unlike anypony else so it's time to toughen up to be what you were meant to be Kind and Strong just like the dragon said." Fluttershy decided to be tough instead of weak but still be kind, "I'm ready for this." The dragon smiled, "I suspended your friends in a suspended animation a Zebra gave me a potion long ago for this moment I put it in the punch. I will leave you Fluttershy for now and the minute I do your friends will be back to normal." She lifted up Fluttershy's head with her claw, "you have the heart of a lion and I know with you with them the prophesy will succeed." And with those words she flew away.
