Hey guys, I'd like to thank you for reading this story of mine, it was really kinda just splattered together, and I really didn't get any suggestions on this one this time, I also was hoping for this story to grab in interest, and if you already looked at the adventures of beamer, you'll definantly be able to tell I tried to ease up on references, I know you probably don't mind them, but if you did read it, you'll notice a signifigant difference, also, I hope you learnd a thing or two, and extended your vocabulary just a little bit, I'm not trying to show off my braniacness, I'm just trying to help people learn something new. Also, I did have A inspiration to start this, but no need for spoilers, I definantly hope you enjoyed this story, I know I enjoyed writing it, and who knows, maybe I'll post a sequel to it. PS: This is like, the end/prolouge. PSS: If any of you were offended by any historical matters, I do apologise.
"Ah a beautiful day indeed," Klaus said, waking up and stretching, it's been nearly two months since the merge, and since they arrived there. Klaus got out of bed, and even though the dragon normally made breakfast, Klaus figured give the little fella' a break, so he headed down to the kitchen, and began to prepare breakfast, he decided to bring some of Earth's cousine (food for those who do not know), and make pancakes, there was no meat in them, and they were made from flower, so he didn't see anything wrong with it. He pulled out the pots and pans, and everything else needed to make them, and began to make them, after five minutes or so, Spike strolled down tired, "Oh, guten morgen (good morning in german) Spike," He said happily, "Uuugh, It'd be better if I was still in bed..." He said sleepishly, "Come little friend, it is always a good day," Klaus chirped again, "I guess," Spike sighed, "You know Spike...I hear Rarity is still sleeping, maybe you could surprise her with breakfast in bed," Klaus said, smiling, THIS caught Spike's attention, "Her favorite meal is eggs and haybacon," Klaus said, "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!" Spike said, and zipped out of the door. Klaus chuckled to himself, "Such a silly one, that Spike," He said to himself, "Oh my, this is indeed done," He said, and layed the pancakes on a plate, "Frauline Sparkle! Breakfast is done und ready!" He chirped, no answer, Klaus chuckled, "Ah yes, her late night study, I shall serve it to her in bed," He said, taking the plate up the stairs. There she was alright, sleeping like a rock, Klaus shook his head, "Sometimes, Frauline, sometimes you study yourself to the bone," He said, and flicked on the light, and walked up the stairs, the light had no effect on her, she was still sleeping soundly, Klaus poked her, she mumbled, "Starswirl...that's the...constelation...of Orian...not...Little...Dipper..." Klaus blinked, and then shook his head, "Ah yes, she has mention this Starswirl one before," He said, and leaned down, "Do forgive me," He whisperd, "CELESTIA IS HERE! YOU MADE AN F ON YOUR TEST!" He shouted, Twilight jumped out of bed, "NO NO NO! I STUDIED I SWEAR I DID!" She shouted, eyes closed, but then opened them only to see Klaus with breakfast, "W-Where's the Princess?" She asked, looking around, "My apologies Frauline Sparkle, the princess is not here, I said that to wake you up," He said, Twilight fell down on the bed, sighing a huge sigh of relief, "Thank Celestia you only said it to wake me up," She chuckled, just then, Celestia appeared, her hair a frizzled mess, "I KNOW, IT'S AROUND...huff...HERE SOMEWHERE!" She shouted, and began to sniff around, "I SMELL IT!" She shouted again, "Uhh..Princess?" Twilight asked concerned, Celestia was sniffing Klaus, "Maybe it IS you!" She said, "No no, stallions can't be alicorns, that's not the law of the land...Is it? No it can't be! I must find her," She said, and dissappeared within a flash, "Well, that was wierd, anyway Frauline Sparkle, I made you breakfast," Klaus chirped, Twilight looked surprised, "Really?" She said, "Ja, back on my world, these are called pancakes," He said, and presented the breakfast, Twilight wasn't sure, "Uuuuuuuuuh..." She looked at them, "Come Frauline, just a taste," Klaus urged, Twilight didn't hate Klaus's cooking, it's just, he made some kind of salad, with cheese, and meat, Twilight dared not to think what meat it was, it wasn't bad or anything, it's just she was never used to tasting that kind of taste, "Frauline, it is made of flour, milk, und eggs, with some syrup," He said, Twilight wasn't sure, but she trusted him, and took a bite, as soon as she tasted it, she nearly fainted, the taste was unlike anything she ever tasted before, "Frauline?" Klaus asked concern, looking at her swaying back and forth, and then shook her head, "Woooooow..." She said, amazed, "That was better then anything I ever tasted before in my life, I'm being serious," She said, and began to chomp the pancakes down, Klaus laughed, "Zat was my first reaction as well, I learned on my own how to make zem, my parents they..." Klaus stopped, he looked rather distraught, "Klaus, it's fine if you can-" "No Twilight, it is fine, they dissappeared, literally, poof, no more parents," He said, "No notes, no letters, no goodbyes, I do however recall one thing my father said, he said Klaus, never become like them, never ever ever never become like them, you are a good person, and one day, you will go to a place that is fitting to you," Klaus said on the verge of tears, "I belive it was a destiny of sorts for me to come here," He sighed, wiping his eyes,Twilight felt as if the mood went from cheerful to depressing, so she decided to change the subject, "I'm terribly sorry for that Klaus, but have you seen Spike? He's normally here," She said worridly, "Indeed I did, he got up to make breakfast, but I had that covered, so I gave him tips," He giggled, Twilight quarked an eyebrow, "Did you now...What sort of...tips?" She asked investigativly, "Well, tips like: What Rarity's favorite breakfast is, the fact she's still sleeping and what not..." He said smiling, Twilight chuckled, "Oh, fanning the flames of a crush?" She asked, "What could it hurt? I think it's nice that he likes Rarity, and Rarity likes him, so those two are just good friends," Klaus said.
After Twilight finished th pancakes, she decided that it would be good to teach Klaus a little Equestria history, she started by grabbing a book, "I read this before Nightmare Moon's return, who is now known as Luna," She said, "Before you go on, and you might find this strange of me to ask, but why do the clouds, sun, and moon need pony help?" Twilight grimmenced, she hated when this was asked, "Well, before the princesses ruled, there was creature named Discord, he ruled the world in complete chaos, it rained chocolate milk, clouds of cotton candy, trees were pretty much just rubberized, and roads, were soap," She said, "After a few thousand years of this, the alicorn race, the world was filled with them then, rose up against him, it was only Celestia and Luna who actually made him a statue, but the war was not without casualties...Supposedly Luna and Celestia are the last of them," She sighed, "Oh and the world spun like a top, the sun and moon got rose up and down every three minutes." With this explaination in his mind, Klaus was actually a bit fearful he might meet this Discord, "Anyway, the world was so damaged, that it actually needs help in order to function, same with the sun and moon, I mean it all use to be like the Everfree Forest, clouds moved on their own, animals roamed free, and plants grew by themselfs, no need for anypony care, but after such a tramatic thing such as all that chaos happend, they actually need help to function," She said with a sigh, "OH WOW!" She exclaimed, "Would you look at that time, we spent two hours with this...Shouldn't Spike be back by now?" She said, "It slipped my mind that he was gone, I wonder what he could be doing," She said worriedly, "...Twilight, I don't want to make this sound wierd," He began, "But like Rainbow being mom to that orange filly, aren't you Spike's mom?" He asked, Twilight blinked, she only thought of it like that once, and that was the initial hatching of him, "Well...Technically yes..." She said, she really didn't know how to feel about that observation, "Technically indeed, If I know my logical thinking correctly, even though the mother may lay the egg, whosoever hatchs the baby, is to become it's mother, am I correct?" He asked, "Well...Yes?" She said, "And that makes you, his momma," He smiled.
Klaus left a thinking Twilight, while he headed towards Rarity's place, he ran into Shishka, "Oh, is good to see Klaus!" Shishka said, "Well it-AH!" Klaus was cut off by getting picked up in a hug, "I...can't...breathe..." Klaus said, "Oh, sorry," Shishka dropped him, Klaus took a deep breath, "It's...huff...fine," Klaus shook his head, "What was that greeting for?" He asked in a chuckle, "Well..." Shishka began to think, "I do not...Know...Anyway, is very good to see you Klaus, how is Twilight?" He asked, "Oh she's doing fine, I'm retrieving her dragon pal," Klaus responded, "Oh, the little purple dragon, yeah he was headed to Rarity's house," Shishka said, "Figured, how is life on the farm?" Klaus asked, "Is good, reminds me of before the war, when I was a simple farmer..." He trailed off, he didn't want to tell Klaus about how he wanted to go back, so he decided to wave, and continue with what he was going to do. Klaus waved goodbye, "Alright, now to find that Spike," He said to himself, and began to head to Rarity's place once more, but again, a speedy Rainbow rammed into him. After a moment of being dazed, Klaus got up, "Oof...Rainbow...You really need to be more careful..." He said, "Sorry Klaus, I don't actually mean to hit you, it just kinda happens," She said laughing...Like the other four times this week...He though to himself, "How is your daughter?" He asked with a smile, "She's doing fine, you do know that I am not actually her mom right...?" She replied, "Of course, at first I did, but Twilight straightend me on that, but hey, a mother, is a mother, so long as you're a good one," He said smiling, "Well I try my best, that's for sure," She said with a smile, "You know, I use to be of sorts, a teacher, If she ever needs any extra educational help, just ask me, and I'll do it," He said, bowing, "Well...Scoots could use some help in her math..." Rainbow thought, "So shall we then?" Klaus said, taking out a note book from his coat pocket (I really need to describe outfits xD, my apologies, Klaus is currently in that Tux, and Top hat that Rarity slapped on him earlier in the story), "How about later today?" Rainbow said smiling, "That will be wonderful, I shall make time, how does seven sound?" He asked, "Perfect! That's when her homework time is," Rainbow exclaimed, "Seven it shall be," He said, scribbling down the time in the notebook, "Now then, off with me," He said, bowing, and walking away, "Oh, it's time to pick Scoots up," Rainbow said, and zipped toward the school.
Finally what seemed like forever, he made it to the Botique, "Welcome to Carasal Botique, where everything is fine, petite, and magnific," Rarity came out in a chirp, but then stopped, "Oh, well you OBVIOUSLY need NO help in fashion!" She said, amazed out his outfit, "I never thought I'd see the day that somepony dressed formally, everyday," She chirped, "It is good to see you too Rarity, if you don't remember, I'm Klaus," He said, bowing again, "Such a gentleman indeed," Klaus smiled at this compliment, "I most certainly try, now then, where is that little dragon fellow?" He asked, Rarity chuckled, "Such'a dear, he made me breakfast in bed, but when he brought it up, he passed out, poor dear," She said, "Oh don't worry, apperently one of my drawers had a nice fit for him, so I put him there," She smiled, "Ah, he was extremely tired, but at your name, he jumped straight here," Klaus said, but Rarity frowned, "I know...Which saddens me," She said, Klaus blinked, "Why is that Frauline Rarity?" "Because, I know he has...feelings for me..." She sighed, "It's no real big deal, he'll grow out of it eventually, but it saddens me to know that..." She said with a sniff, "As serving and kind he is, I wish he was a pony," She chuckled, "Oh well, some good things, come at a terrible price," She said, "Anyways, the dear is upstairs, if you'd like to take him with you, if not, I'll make sure to send him your way when he does," She smiled, "Well, I don't know, I mean I think Twilight would like him home, but I know you're trusted friend, so i wouldn't want to hurt your feelings," Klaus said, "Oh no no no, it is fine ethier way, Spike is a good dragon, not a trouble at all, I don't mind if he sleeps here, he'll probably wake up in an hour or so," Klaus was confused, and then something unexpected happend, with the door nearly hitting them both, there stood a rather crazed Celestia, "YOU. HERE. NOW." She demanded, Klaus stared, "Princess...are you feeling ill?" Klaus asked, "YOU. HERE. NOW." She repeated, Klaus took slow-yet steady steps towards here, then she examined him again, and sniffed, "Uhh-" "SHH!" She cut him off, "It was here, the entire time, I did not want to belive it, Klaus, you're the alicorn I was searching for, I know your next question, and the answer is, there alot of things I've yet to learn, so an alicorn colt is definantly the case here," Her hair poofed into the normal, flowing rainbow hair that it was, "PHEW!" She said, chuckling, "I was worried I was going to go crazy," Celestia said, "I do not know why there are no features on you, but you are indeed the one I sought...Perhaps you have not performed your required task," She said, and dissappeared, Klaus blinked, "Me? Alicorn?" He said astonished, "But I thought..." He felt dizzy, "My...door..." Rarity said staring at the bummed up mess, "I m-wait you're worried about your DOOR?!" Klaus shouted, "Well, it was one of MY FAVORITES," Rarity snapped back, "I'm informed that I could possibly be something that was supposed to have been dead, and your only concern, is the fact that YOUR DOOR BROKE?!" He was really frustrated, "Some of us actually CARE what their house looks like, and a broken down door is not showing any class at all," She said in a huff, and levitated the door up, placing it where it was busted, and casted a fixing spell on it, "Some of us DO have standards.." She said again, Klaus didn't recall any of the pony hims being alicorns, well he actually didn't recall what they looked like at all, it was in the middle of the night, "Look, I'll just...Take Spike and be on my way," He said, Rarity once again in the happy mood she was in before, "Do be gentle, and try not to wake him, the breakfast was DELICIOUS! Poor dear must've worked himself to the claw to make it taste so good," She said, and followed Klaus upstairs, "Actually, would you care to wait out here?" She asked, "And what is your reasoning for that...?" Klaus asked in an annoyed tone, "Well it is MY room," Klaus facepalmed, "Do forgive me Rarity, my mind thirty steps ahead of me," He said with a laugh, this lightened up the mood. Rarity went in, and after a minute or so, came back out, "How are you levitating him without waking him?" Klaus asked, "Simple, some items are noise sensitive, such as beehives or what not, so unicorns, who are commonly the bee handlers, levitate them in order to not disturb them to much, so levitation is actually a silent thing, aside from the initial cast that is," Rarity explained, Klaus was surprised that she actually had a valid point, "Uhh...How are you going to carry him?" She asked, Klaus glared...Twilight is suppose to be his mom, yet you have like, a thousand times more worry..."In my arms...?" He replied, Rarity gasped, "Unacceptable, I shall carry him," She said, Klaus was about to say something, "Ah-ah-ah, no words, my mind is set," Klaus was annoyed, to learn about the alicorn thing, now Rarity being stubborn, this was going to be a long day.
"So what kind of fashion did they have back on your world, those drab uniforms looked like you were trying to be known as killers," She chuckled...What a way to start a conversation..."Actually that was the point, in the war we fought, there was alot of urban warfare, so they figured put gray on us, and it'll help us blend in, they were partly right," Klaus explained, Rarity gasped, "What a brutish way to use fashion! That sounds like the pegasi from the days of old!" She exclaimed, "Tell me about it, why do you think I rejoice every moment being here?" Klaus said, chuckling, "I would too, if I had to live in such a terrible place!" Rarity said again, Klaus nodded in agreement...If only you knew... After about thirty minutes or so, they arrived at the library, Twilight greeted the two, "Oh, hello Rarity," Twilight said with a smile, "Hello dear Twilight, I come bearing a Spike," She said laughed, Twilight chuckled as well, "Wait, why are YOU bearing the Spike?" Twilight asked, "Because apperently carrying him in my arms would have been a BAD thing," Klaus said, rolling his eyes, "You would've woken him!" She said, "I think you just wanted an excuse to carry him home..." Klaus mumbled, "Well thank you Rarity, and come by more often!" Twilight said poking her friend's shoulder, "I will most certainly try!" Rarity said smiling, Twilight levitated spike off her back, thanked her once more, and put spike back in his bed. "Your friend likes Spike alot more then you realise," Klaus said, "What?" Twilight asked looking back, "She said it saddend her that he wasn't a pony," He began, "Which would indicate the feelings Spike has are not one-sided..." Twilight snapped around, "Hold it right there. Rarity KNOWS it can't happen, and besides, I kinda wish he was a pony too," She said again, turning back to placing books where they belong, and attempting to ease up the tention, "He's always willing to serve, he's always humble, and he always trys to do for others, and a funny part of it, is the fact he IS a dragon, they're the greediest creatures alive!" Twilight said, chuckling, "He goes against his very nature, and in my eyes, in everyponys' eyes, that's commendable, so can you imagine if he WAS a pony, and he was actually with Rarity? He'd be the best of the best, but, fate would have it that he be a dragon," She sighed, just then out of nowhere, a pony wearing a tux, and top hat popped out of no where, "Right I would sheila! Really kinda of cruel joke, but also a good challenge for the little fella!" Twilight blinked, "Wait...You're Fate...?" "Correctunmundonio! (Cor-reck-tune-mun-dun-own-knee-o, pronounce as you see it)" Twilight blinked, "Is that even a word?" "Now it is, anyways, I hear you got some questions for ol' uncle Fate?" He said, "N-" "Quiet lass, you haven't even given your bet!" He said cutting Twilight off, and then pulled out a coin, "Blot or plot?" He said, Twilight felt offended, "...Heads..." She said annoyed, Klaus was about to whack him, before he got hit in the by a snowball, "Easy, just a harmless joke," Fate said, flipping the coin, Klaus blinked...A snowball in summer?..."Wish granted sheila!" He said, revealing the coin landed on heads, "What wish...?" She asked, "Oh I also recommend askin' Rainbow for some help, little buggas' can get out of hand," He dissappeard.
The two of them stood shell shocked, "W-What did he mean by that...?" Twilight gulped, "Did he...like...am I going to be a mom?" She asked terrified, "Well we already covered that..." Klaus said, gesturing to where Spike was, "NO! I mean-ugh nevermind, you know what I mean...wish...Wait a minute..." She said nervously. They both had the same realization, and both ran up stairs, and what they saw floored them, "I-Is...t-that sp-Spike...?" Twilight stammered, "I do belive...it is..." He said, they saw a pony, but it looked to be part dragon, it had all of Spike's colors, his mane and tail were bright green, his coat was purple, and he even had wings, sort of. Twilight was flabbergasted at the sight, then fate appeared beside them, "By the way, you're actually his mom, check the dna, you don't think no one listens to your plee's do 'ya? about wanting him to be really yours, don't worry Twily dear, I was listenin' the whole time," He smiled, and dissappeard, Twilight was now even more shocked, just then, Spike awoke, "I slept really good," He said, and gave a stretch, "Wow, I feel different, and what happend to my voice?" He asked, his voice indeed changed, it went from that higher pitchness, to a deeper one, "I don't know, but I like it," He said laughing, "Sp-ike...?" Twilight said softly, "Oh, I thought I was alone, sorry for not getting up earlier Twilight," He said, and got out of his 'bed,' "Wow, my bed feels smaller then before," He said, and tried to stand on two legs, but failed ultimately, "WHA-WHAT?" He asked in panick, "TWILIGHT, I CAN'T WALK!" He shouted, Twilighted walked to him, and levitated him up, "Could it be true...? We're actually a family...?" She asked, Spike stared, he was really worried, he couldn't walk, Twilight being wierd like this, "We've...always been a family...haven't we?" He asked, "Yes, but now we are an actual one..." She said, and then hugged him, Spike didn't understand what was going on at all.
Again, thanks for reading this, as you can tell, I've definantly tried to spice this story up, in case you're wondering, the time frame and what not, this is all centered in Season 3, probably inbetween an episode before Twilight became an alicorn, also, I imagine that some people might be wondering about the morphing of spike, I don't think it's an original idea, but I never seen any pony versions of spike, so I decided to make it all end with a bang, by doing that. I added a disclaimer in the first chapter, but I'll add one here as well, I accept no claims of rights or anything of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic show, or Hasbro, the characters used here were for non-commercial purposes, for your entertainment, all statements claiming I take credit for them will be null, void, and ignored.
Also I'm always looking for ideas for a new story, it would be greatly appreciated if someone gave me some input to go off of, I can get inspired pretty easily, I mean I can't use everyones idea, but I will definantly give a shout in the next story I write to those who do, It's not a bribe, just a fun little thing to get you guys involved, I feel like writers don't do this enough, I'd like to be the one to break that trend. Thanks for reading, and I hope you will be able to give me ideas for a new story.
