The day was new in the Canterlot castle. Spike was having his room cleaned by Applejack and Rainbow Dash who were in some of the skimpiest Prench maid outfits that Rarity could make. Meanwhile Rarity was not having the time of her life either, she was in the same exact outfit and getting a lot of wolf whistles from the guards. She tried her best to hide her embarrassment from the guards but it wasn't working. Pinkie was running around the maze with Discord because she was one of the only ponies who actually enjoyed his antics. Fluttershy kept Spike company and was allowed to move her animals into the palace garden, so she could keep an eye on them.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders visited often, they were one of Spike's only friends and were sad to see him in a wheelchair. Spike kept thinking about the safety of Equestria. So he made a deal with the girls, if there was ever a problem that needed the elements of harmony to step in they would be allowed to. He ran this by his mom and she was alright with it. He initially calmed down and asked his mom what was going to happen to Twilight's alicorn wings and magic.

"It will be stored like it has before she ascended. Her wings are an extension of her Alicorn magic so it will disappear along with her magic."

"Will it hurt?"

"No it'll be like a small pinch and then gone."

Spike trusted his mother, but he didn't want to hurt anypony on purpose. He had vague memories when he was a monster and he didn't like it. No it wasn't fair to the girls but was it justified. Yes, all his life he was a minority he was the little guy that no pony gave the time of day. He didn't want to be mean but sometimes you got to be tough in order for anyone to understand where you're coming from. He was confined to a wheelchair, while the girls would've ignored him. He would have to struggle, he always had to take care of other ponies while he was the baby. Wasn't Twilight supposed to be the mother, the caretaker, why was he supposed to make all those things for them.

He was done bathing and was rolling his way out of his bathroom to get his clothes on at this time RD and AJ were out of the room. He kept thinking about how they had treated him, Rainbow said he wasn't a true dragon. Applejack made him count all the blades of grass on the farm and to get rid of him they staged a fake timberwolf to attack Applejack only for a real one to show up. He was showing his gratitude and she didn't care for it.

That made him feel sad, sure his initial thought for the punishment seemed bad at first but the girls got used to it. After the first week or so Pinkie was let off the hook, she didn't feel like throwing a party anyways so instead Spike asked her if she could help him around. She apologized for the whole winter-wrap up, after leaving him on a melting piece of ice while he was asleep. He accepted her apology and he apologized for telling her that she wasn't his friend and that he wanted to start over.

He got done with clothing himself and rolled out for breakfast, Pinkie was outside of his room waiting for him. "Hey Pinkie."

"Hey Spike, what's going on?"

"Just trying to get used to the idea of being in a wheelchair."

"Sorry." She said as she was pushing him. He just relaxed, when they came up to the dining room they saw delicious meals in store for them while eating.

  Spike commented "Whoever cooked this food did an amazing job."

Celestia swallowed her food and said. "Twilight cooked this feast."

Spike had to strain to keep from spitting out his food. "Are we talking about Twilight Sparkle?" She nodded. "Could you please bring her out here?"

Twilight was summoned to the dining hall and she was racked with nerves, after living with her for so long Spike could tell. "You wanted to see me princess?"

Celestia corrected her student. "It was not I who requested for you to be summoned, that falls on Spike's shoulders."

Spike rolled up to Twilight and said. "I honestly thought you would've accidentally poisoned me in some way. I must say you did a great job, and thank you. I think that you are relieved of you duties as a chef."

"Really?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I'm not angry anymore. So I think you don't need to cook any longer."

"Thanks Spike, and for what it's worth I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too, I'm not going to make mom revoke your alicornhood."

Spike had thought long and hard about this, she did earn to become an alicorn. What Spike had noticed is that how she did it, she had inadvertently messed up her best friends lives by switching their destinies, and just because you set out and fix it doesn't mean that everything is going go back to the way it was she had to know that. She had to know that her tendency to fear what everypony expected of her is just wrong.

"I thought of something else to keep you busy while you're here."

"What's that?"

"I need you to try to find a cure for my nerves attacking my spinal column. I don't think I can live in a wheelchair for my life and I know my friends don't want me to, so could you please help me. I don't want to be stuck like this."

Twilight hugged Spike and said.  "I will do whatever I can to find a cure."  

"Just make sure you eat once in a while."

With the meal concluded and Twilight relieved of her cooking duties she sprinted to the library dead-set on finding a cure for Spike's condition. Spike however had another problem or three that consist of Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Next Chapter: Rebuilding Bridges Estimated time remaining: 5 Minutes
