A/N: Thank you for the reviews. Spike is Malachite. I will be alternating between the names. Same person.I've got a plan for our little dragon. And to those of you who got the skyrim reference, +10 points. No Tiamat was not in Skyrim. Look more towards babylonian myth for her name :p

Spot the new reference. Its in there.

"Dear Princess Celestia, Princess Luna,

Spike has been missing for a few days now. I'm growing more and more concerned for the little guy.. Well not so little guy. Rainbow Dash managed to get hold of Soarin and he is helping to search for him, but it isn't enough I don't think.. We are very worried, Twilight especially. She began to cry last night of fear and concern. How could a dragon of his size have dissapeared? Rarity said that Spike had been feeling unwelcome in the town, That isn't true though! He is always welcome! Except in town square.. because of the incident with the fountain and Scootaloo.. It helped her earn her cutiemark though! Mare Mayor asked he remain on the outskirts of town due to his size.. Oh.. Please princesses, please help.

With Love,

Fluttershy"

Fluttershy rolled the parchment and tied it with a stringas she looked up at a hawk in her treehouse "Here Jesse,Please take this to the Canterlot Castle..Make sure the princesses recieve it...If you don't mind." She gave him a small smile as he flew down to retrieve the letter. He looks up at fluttershy cocks his head to the side and flies out the window. Angel hops in and looks up at the pink maned pegasus. She looks down at him, soft eyes filled with hope.

Sadly though, Angel shakes his head, whiskers twitching.

A knock is soon heard at the door. Fluttershy walks quickly to answer it, avoiding stepping on Angel and his small furry friends. "Oh, Im coming!" She says slightly louder than she meant. As she gets to the door she peeks out and sees the firey orange and yellow mane of Spitfire, who is plucking fuzzy material off her Wonderbolts uniform.

"Oh, Hello Spitfire,sorry for yelling earier... Any news about Spike?" Fluttershy says with an almost embarassed expression.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow, She hadn't heard any yelling at all. "It's okay. No, No news yet. However there is a wierd lookin pony at the Library. Never seen a pegasus like him. Purple with a mint green mane, ever seen him before?" Spitfire cocks her head to the side and leans against the doorframe.

Fluttershy thinks a moment and speaks quietly "No, I don't recall seeing a pegasus like him before. If you want to keep an eye on this area I'll go try to talk to Twilight and see if theres anything new.." She put her hands together and played with her nails, clicking them together slightly.

Spitfire nods and jumps up, her wings flap vigorously and before long shes a speck in the sky.

Fluttershy takes a step outside and shuts the door after having let the bunny by her side follow. "Well, somepony has to know where spike is." She spoke to Angel, who kept a straight face to the road and kept hopping.

A day prior, In Canterlot Hospital.

Spike awoke with a jolt. Fear gripped him, his vision hazy. All he could see was blurred white walls, somepony in a white jacket with a red blot on it, he sat straight and went to stand, but his stomach turned, He fell to the ground and grabbed the trashcan where he began to throw up. He Looked around the room, his vision becoming clearer as the pony in the white jacket ran to him, the clicking of hooves on the tile floor seemed louder than what it was.

"Please, Lay back down, we need the Princess to come check on you before you can go home." A sweet voice spoke to him, but in his head it echoed.

"What..Who..?" Spike looked up at the tan, pink maned pony who helped him up and back onto the wore a white nurses vest with a red cross on it, white scrubs, and a white paper hat with a red cross in a circle. "My name is Nurse Joy. Nurse Daffodi just left to check on another patient..But i'll take care of you. We just sent a guard to go see if the Princess would see you now." She spoke spoftly and covered him with a thin white sheet.

Spike groaned.. His body was so sore.. especially his back. He felt a small prick on his right arm. Looking over he saw the nurse with a syringe, injecting him with something. "Don't worry sweetie, this will help the pain. The princess said you went through a lot to get here from Appleloosa. That place is just so far away. I imagine it was nice there this time of year." She pulled the needle from his arm and disposed of it in a red container.

They watched eachother for a moment, Nurse Joy smiling as though the world were covered with candy.(Pinkie Pie:Well if we had let Discord have his way we would have at least had Chocolate rain! Me:Pinkie go back to Ponyville! Not your scene yet! Pinkie Pie:Fine..) A new sound was heard, the chink of armor and the clicking of hooves came from outside the door of the room. "Thank you ,Heaume. You may go back to your patrol now." Celestia's voice echoed.

Celestia entered the room, her eyes on Spike. "Nurse Joy." she smiled and acknowledged the cheerful pony. "Milady." The nurse bowed. "Malachite is ready to leave. On your order. He has been administered an injection for pain as well as a medication for the irritation in his throat. Looked as if the poor guy tried to breathe fire!" Spike cocked his head to the side? 'Malachite? Why did she call me that,And why Appleloosa?' His mind ran on that thought for a moment before the Princess spoke again. "Are you going to be coming with me Malachite? We have much to discuss about future plans." She offered him a hand.

He watched her for a moment before taking her hand, he stood and about fell over. Celestia caught him though, right arm around his shoulders with her left hand on his left arm. They walked the halls until they reached one of the guest bedrooms. It was only as they walked in, Spike realised that the second clicking of hooves, were not from a guard. "Here we can speak more in private." Celestia spoke and nodded. " need to inform you as to what change you went through and the plan as is." Luna's voice added in from the other side of the room. She smiled sweetly and held a hand up for a moment in greeting.

The royal sisters spoke to him with ease, as if they had rehearsed it. For all Spike knew, they probably did. "Your pony name is Malachite. We can't let everyone know you are Spike.. The spell we performed is very draining, and we would very much dislike the idea of having everypony sending us letters about wishing they were a gryphon or a dragon. " Luna spoke last after having Celestia fill him in on the details of what had transpired. Celestia thought so far in advance as to even forge papers for him. His name is Malachite, Born in Fillydelphia and raised in Appleloosa. His cutiemark is a gemstone cluster, due to his ability to cleanly cut and polish was adopted by a member of the Apple family who had agreed to help with this endeavor. Oh.. If Applejack finds out.. He can only hope she won't be upset.

"So..I need to re-make my friends again?" Spike asks with a quirk to his voice, still looking down at his hooves and admiring his hands. "Unfortunately yes. However I see no reason they should treat you badly. So don't worry about that. Oh, and we have already set it up for High Winds to give you a quick lesson in flying before heading back to Ponyville tomorrow told her you are a fan and that you would love to learn from the best." Celestia smiles as she folds her wings behind her back.

"Flying lesson..?Wait..Flying Lesson?" Spike turns his head and sees his wings for the first time. "Oh my gosh!Oh my gosh!" He beams in excitement. Luna giggles and says "Ready to go meet High Winds in the gar-" Before she could finish her sentence Spike was at the door, nodding vigorously and speaking over and over "Yeah! Lets go!"

Luna glanced at her sister who nodded in approval. She lead Spike to the garden where High Winds stood waiting in her uniform. She stretched her wings out wide, the tips reached past her small wrists. High Winds smiled at Malachite and folded her white wings back. Her wild blue bouncy mane was already everywhere with the slight breeze.

"Well, I was hoping my goggles would help hold it down"She spoke sheepishly as she patted the wild locks down. "Malachite, This is High Winds, of The Wonderbolts. High Winds, This is Malachite. " Luna smiled as she introduced the two. "Its good to meet you. My understanding is you had a little mishap and need to be retrained on fast flying?" High Winds grinned as she bounced around, using her wings to help her stay in the air longer. "Well, Kinda. I was actually never trained to fly." Spike mumbled.

High Winds stopped midair, "Never Trained,hm?" She flew over to him and examined his wings. "Well, Your wings are in perfect shape. You have to have at least trained some. Come on, lets get to the basics then, shall we?" She smiled and then patted his back. Spike nods and gulps nervously.

At the Library in Ponyville present time.

Twilight sits at her desk, composing another letter to Celestia. She crumples it up after having only written a few words before tossing it aside. Pinkie Pie jumps off from the top of a bookcase."Twi Twi..Just smile. I'm sure hes safe. Whenever he gets back, we can throw a huuggee party for him. A party that will match him in size!" Pinkie smiled and threw her arms up. Confetti and streamers flying everywhere around her.

Twilight looks at her and then looks down to the new, blank parchment on the desk. Pinkie huffs, She just can't seem to cheep up Twilight. Not with having no clue where spike went. Pinkie sweeps up the mess she just made and somehow fits it all into her sleeve. "Well, I'mma go find Applejack and see if she found anything." Pinkie says with her usual cheer and begins to hop to the door. As she opens the door she screams and dissapears in a poof.

Twilight sighs and comes to the door to see somepony new. "Um.. you need something?" Twilight asks, rather impatiently. She eyeballs the pegasus in front of her, Deep purple fur over his body topped with a shaggy mint green mane. His long well groomed tail nearly touched the ground. He appeared well kept,his broad chest covered by a neatly buttoned up shirt while nice slacks covered his legs. His wings flicked from time to time, as if a nervous twitch. "Twilight Sparkle, former resident of Canterlot now Fulltime resident of Ponyville?" He spoke, a somewhat formal twinge in his voice. "Yes?" Twilight asks cautiously.

"I came to deliver a letter from a dragon by the name of Spike. By order of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna I -" Spike is cut off mid sentence by Twilight, "You've seen spike? Where is he? You have a letter from him? Is he okay? Read it!" She demands. "Erm.. Okay." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a slightly crumpled scroll. Unrolling it he reads...

"Dear Twilight and Friends,

As you all have been aware, I have been growing. And Its getting hard for me to really fit in. Almost literally at times.. I have returned to Dovah and will remain here for some time. I will send letters still though, I promise. I spoke with princess Celestia and Luna about this three nights ago. They immediately sent me on my way. I suppose they too didn't want the chance of a large dragon scaring their subjects. Physically, I am not full grown, so here I can possibly be with my people and learn their ways. I wish the best for everypony. I will visit at some point.

Twilight, I am So So So sorry it came to this. There were many days where I felt broken, and many nights I could not sleep knowing I would just become more a hastle for you. You raised me, and took care of me, and for that I thank you. I know I never said it, but I Love you Twilight. I'm gonna miss you. You're the best friend I could have hoped for. I'm proud to have been by your side.

Warmest Wishes,

Spike."

Malachite handed the paper over to Twilight, who had begun to cry. "Miss Twilight..Please don't cry. " he speaks in almost a whisper. She takes the paper from him and walks back to her desk.

"Oh.. Im not inturrupting anything am I?" A shy voice pipes up from behind Spike.

"Twilight is upset." Spike says with a sad gleam in his eyes. 'I knew she would be' He thinks to himself.

"Oh no.."The quiet pony walks past Spike and into the Library. She approaches Twilight and tries to comfort her saddened friend. Malachite stands in the doorway. Soon after Twilight calms down and the tears stop, he moves closer. "Twilight, Luna and Celestia asked for me to be your assistant. I know I'm not spike..But I'll help you in any way I can" Malachite speaks with a comforting air. 'If only she knew how wrong that statement was..' He thinks behind emerald eyes.

A/N: I wanted to keep writing but i started to get tired. Again, +10 internets if you find the new reference. I may end up starting to keep track.. hehe.

Pinkie Pie: Don't make me sick Gummy on you.
