After a particularly bad day, Spike wishes on a star that ponies would appreciate him, and against all odds, his wish comes true.

But instead of appreciation, Spike wakes up to find himself with a new set of scales, a complex new name and the ability to make every event end in his favour. In the midst of everpony fanatically loving him, Spike realises that the appreciation he is receiving is not the kind he wished for.

Edit 14/07/19 - I was a very different person and writer when I made this. Some parts are kind of fun but I'm not the biggest fan of what it's saying or how it's always saying it so I can't see it ever being continued in its current form. Maybe I'll rewrite it at some point but for now gonna say cancelled.
