I could say that my life has treated me well, I've got good friends, I'm treated well, and ponies generally like me. If that was the case then I'd be lying. My life is confusing to say the least. I'm almost 17 and yet the mare of my dreams still sees me as a short-stack that thinks I'm over Luna's moon when she wants me to help her. In all honesty all the things I do are starting to take it's toll on me. My name is Spike and this is my story.

It started as a regular day in Equestria, Celestia's sun was shining, I could hear Fluttershy's birds chirping from my room. I stretched to hear my bones pop, I got up to get dressed and start breakfast. I could hear Twilight snoring away she had a late-night study session again. I honestly don't know how she became a princess, she can't cook for herself, she never organized the library before it got destroyed, in fact she hangs out with ponies who constantly destroyed the library on a daily basis, and they can't be bothered to use a front door!

"Nope I'm not going to let it get to me." I said to myself, this was a constant mantra I repeated to myself over the years. It helped when I was feeling down and didn't have anypony to talk to. I started in the kitchen with some egg white sandwiches and hash browns  in mind. I heard Twilight get up as soon as the pan was sizzling the egg whites.

Then Twilight shouted. "Spike can you make some breakfast for me and the girls I invited them over so we can hang out in the castle and help get situated."

I replied back "Sure thing Twi."

She then hopped in the shower while I proceeded to make breakfast for five more ponies. I started grumbling while I separated more egg whites from the yolk. The dull pain in my back was inching it's way up my spine again.

"I'm going to have to visit the hospital again." I HATED the hospital I had to go anyways, when I was younger I suffered major nerve damage during the Iron Pony competition and I can barely feel a thing when my back is injured. It didn't help that a few weeks later Rarity used me as a pin cushion and it pierced some of the nerves in my back. It's the main reason I can't grow much larger then five feet. There was a knock on the door and Twilight came down to answer it. I was done with their breakfast, and started to work on mine the girls came into the kitchen, Twilight then asked. "Where's breakfast?"

I pointed to the plates next to me and she picked up all six with her magic and arms floating it out to the main hall. The plates landed on the table, map thing, whatever they called it.

Rainbow just looked at her plate and said. "I thought we were having pancakes. Not whatever this is."

I had finished making my breakfast walked into the room with utensils in my hand and plate in the other. Twilight looked at me asking. "Spike can we talk to each other alone?" I finally had enough this was the straw that broke the dragon's back.

"No."

Twilight reeled at what I had just said, "Excuse me?"

"You're excused." I replied sarcastically.

"Spike this isn't the time for jokes, I thought we agreed that we would make pancakes this morning." Twilight said sternly.

In which I replied. "There are two things wrong with that sentence, one we never agreed what I would make for breakfast you said and I quote. 'Spike can you make some breakfast for me and the girls I invited them over so we can hang out in the castle and help get situated.' Two we didn't make breakfast I did." That pain in my back was increasing and I tried to get up to leave in peace but I couldn't. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I tried to wiggle my big toe but it wouldn't move, I couldn't move. I couldn't feel my legs.

"Okay mister I don't know what's gotten you all huffy but you obviously need a time-out, now go to your room." Twilight just scolded me in front of our, no her friends. I was struggling to get out of my seat but the only one who noticed was Fluttershy. The pleading look in my eyes said help me. "Well, what are you waiting for Spike. MOVE!"

"I can't." That was my only reply. Twilight now looked confused, then she asked. "What did you say?" I gulped down the knot in my throat and said it, this time with more detail. "I can't move. I can't feel my legs."
