“Spike.” I looked at Twilight, but she wasn’t the Twilight I knew, she was a purple alicorn! I got up and backed up looking at myself. “Spike?” I was a baby dragon, but how? That spell should have killed me, and Twilight certainly would have had the power. I scratched my arm cutting my scales, and feeling the pain. This wasn’t a dream, and it wasn’t a trick, I didn’t know where I was, but I was a baby again.

“What have you done?” I asked mad shaking.

“What? I didn’t do anything, look you tripped over that rock. Just how hard did you hit your head?” She reached for my head and I slapped her hoof away, I breathed fire making her back up surprised.

“What’s wrong?” Celestia asked walking over to us, and I stared at her. She had the colors of Luna, with a pure white coat, and long flowing multi-color hair. They not the colors I knew her to have normally, and her cutie mark to some degree matched Luna’s. It wasn’t exactly the one that I knew Luna had, it was a single star with flames around it.

“What is this trick?” I asked.

“Trick?” Twilight asked just as confused as Celestia was. I paused looking at them, they had questioning looks across their faces, it was strange, they simply didn’t make any sense to me.

“Why do you not fear me?” I asked, trembling my words as they left my lips.

“Why dear Spike,” Luna asked walking over to us. “Would we fear you?” She had Celestia’s colors. She was now a dark blue, with flowing star hair, and a half moon cutie mark. I stepped back, this made no sense to me.

“I, what.” I fell back confused not able to make a real sentence.

“I’m sorry,” Twilight said looking at Celestia. “But I think Spike might have hit his head harder than I thought, I should take him to the hospital to make sure he didn’t get hurt.”

“It is alright Twilight Sparkle,” Celestia replied. “I understand.”

“This, this is impossible!” I shouted at them, I ran pass them heading over a bridge, and into the Everfree forest.

“SPIKE!” I heard Twilight shout. Her voice faded after a few minutes, as I raced at full speed stopping after a while, and breathing hard. I looked around, I had no clue where I was, but wherever I was, it was better than being in the middle of three very powerful alicorns while in a baby dragon form.

“Calm down,” I said finally cooling off. “Do you have magic?” I slashed the air creating a magic blade, slicing through the tree like it was nothing, it crashed to the ground. I changed my form and looked at myself. I was no longer blue and purple, I was purple and green. A rather odd mix, but it strangely fit me for some reason.

“Spike!” I turned hearing several voices at once, one from above and the others from inside the forest, I changed back quickly.

I sniffed the air for a moment, and a sweet rotting damp smell of the forest filled my lungs. This world was untouched by the filth! The smell of a blood stained sky was nowhere to be found, and the smell of ash no longer dominated the air.

This world was beautiful, and it was my play thing again. If I could figure out how I was sent here, I could go back. I was going to kill Twilight, nothing she did was going to stop me, but then again. I looked at my claw, this wasn’t a half bad outcome either. It could turn out to be a far better outcome, than what I had originally wanted.

“FOUND HIM!” I looked up at the sound of a oddly familiar voice, from what I was guessing, it was Rainbow Drop’s voice.

“Rainbow Dash wait for me!” I paused, the names were wrong to, this was clearly not my world, it was someone else's. I searched my mind for a moment, whomever it was, they were no longer in this body, which meant they were in mine. I growled at the thought of them tainting my body with their filth, and Rainbow Dash backed off floating above me.

“Whoa there Spike,” she said landing. “What’s got you in such a bad mood?” My name was the same, so was Twilight’s, other than Luna and Celestia, I knew no one’s name.

“Spike.” I looked at a AppleCran, but she was orange instead of white, it was an odd look to say the least.

“Hey I found him Applejack.” I grunted, I didn’t even get her name close. “And he doesn’t look like he’s happy,” she said a bit nervous. “RARITY GET OVER HERE!” I paused as a white unicorn came over, at least she had the same name, but she wasn’t the right color, why was this world so weird?!

“Spike!” She called with a rather happy voice, then ran over to me and I dodged her growling. “Eep!” She screeched a little, scared by my growl.

“Twilight, what is wrong with Spike?” Rainbow Dash asked as Twilight, Luna and Celestia all landed near us.

“I don’t know, he hit his head and just ran off.” Twilight said with a worried look. I started to chuckled. “He was saying something weird, about us fearing him.” They all stared at me worried. I flame ported, consuming my body in green fire teleporting, appearing on a large hill overlooking Ponyville.

My jaw dropped seeing it, this world was unadvanced in so many ways, I couldn’t see a single anti-air magic battery, or a single car. Even the street lights were outdated, of the few that I could see.

I sat down breathing a little fast, and then shook my head clearing my mind. I looked at my claw as flame appeared around it. My magic worked, but something was wrong, I couldn’t generate or store magic to my fullest, I wasn’t even close to my real power. I stopped the flame, I needed to find gems to build more magic power, but this world. I had no clue if they even existed here.

“Twilight,” I growled grimly. “I'll get back to you, I don’t forget spells.” I said chuckling with fire on my tongue. If I reengineered what I remembered, there was a strong chance of me getting back to my body.

“Spike!” I looked at Flutter-birdie, it probably wasn’t her name, she was also yellow instead of pink. If I had any hope of returning to my world, I would need to fit in, gather what I needed, which would take time, and that wouldn’t be simple. Of course though, having a little bit of fun along the way wouldn’t hurt.

“Hey, um, Flutter?” I asked, all the other first parts of their names were right, just not the last parts, I doubt I could fake it, but it was worth a try.

“Fluttershy,” she said landing next to me. “How did you get up here?” I looked around, I was on a hill which had cliffs on all sides. Getting up here normally would probably be very hard to do, especially as a baby dragon.

“I climbed.” I said swiftly.

“Twilight said you hit your head, and a little bird told me that you were here.” She checked my head, and I paused wanting to rip off her hooves for touching me.

“I’m fine.” I didn’t hit her away, I didn’t know how this Spike would normally act in this situation, so I didn’t want to kill my luck.

“You look fine.” She stopped looking me over. “But you forgot my name?”

“Do you hate me?” I asked lightly.

“Of course not Spike, I would never hate you.” She said with an oddly kind smile. Oh, she was going to be fun, she was quiet, which mean her screams would be just as sweet as her words. “But, the other’s are worried about you, we should go back.” She said softly, and I trembled.

“Excuse me?” I asked growling lightly and she looked at me surprised as I stood up. I grabbed her throat, slamming her to the ground, and pinning her to the ground. “You don’t order me around.” I growled fire on my lips.

She closed her eyes and tears went down her face crying. Flutter-birdie was by far one of the most fierce warrior I had ever met, she was the leader of the last army to try and take over, of course that was before I finally stepped up and took over for myself.

This Fluttershy was nothing like the one from my world, she didn’t have a back bone, and was clearly too kind for her own good. She was scared too easily as well, perfect to rip into, and please myself with till she bled, but now was not the time for play, at least not in this unfamiliar world, which mocked me with every glance.

“I’m sorry.” She whispered and I let go of her.

“I’m,” I said making my body tremble. “Sorry, I, I, don’t.” Know how to act. I backed up and she coughed. I had acted on impulse, I normally didn’t have some play thing try to tell me to do anything, or even suggest it for that matter. She looked at me surprised and I tripped falling off the edge.

“Spike!” She shouted catching me before I hit the ground. Though, even with my weak magic, it wouldn’t have hurt me, let alone kill me. “It’s alright Spike, I have you.” I looked at her as she had me in her arms, flying me so softly to the ground, it was like falling through a thick cloud. She setting me down and backed up slightly.

“I’m sorry.” I lied, this was going to be hard. While I was a great liar, no, a great story weaver, I found it too funny half the time to keep a straight face.

“It’s alright Spike,” she said quietly and backing away more. “I shouldn’t have, told you to do anything, I’m sorry.” I wanted to grin and choke her till she begged me to let her go, but here I didn’t know anything, and my magic was anything but powerful enough.

“Please, I, stay away from me, I, I’m sorry.” I backed away a little looking scared, I needed to milk this. “Please don’t be afraid of me, I didn’t mean it.”

Oh I could barely stand the thought of her not being afraid of me, quivering in fear, it almost made me hard. I wanted to make her piss herself, and then have her lick it clean, every last drop, but I couldn’t do that, at least not yet. I would have to wait and learn, impulse would have to be controlled, but my thoughts so easily twisted my words.

“I’m not,” she said looking at me with wide eyes. “It’s, just, I’ve never had anyone do that to me before, it scared me a little. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have told you that.”

“You have nothing to be sorry about.” I said quickly, I then sat down acting like I was dizzy. “I don’t know why I did that, after I hit my head, things blurred, and, I don’t know. I’m sorry, please go, I don’t want to hurt you any more, I want to be alone.”

“Spike it’s fine, really.” She came over to me within reaching distance, just one second, one moment, and I could cut off her head, clean off, it would rain blood, sweet metallic blood. I looked at her for a second, before looking down. Whoever this Spike was, he was someone that they trusted a lot, especially since I had just hurt her.

“Thank you.” I hugged her, and she hugged me back tightly pulling me close. Oh her scent was beautiful, I could only imagine how her charred meat would taste.

“I know very little about dragons, but you have a so hard.” She said with a sniffle. I let go of her, and she didn’t let go of me, I almost wanted to bite her. She was clingy, make mental note, do not show this pony too much affection, she’ll get attached, drug addiction likely. “I won’t tell anyone about this, so don’t worry.” I paused, I hadn’t even thought of that.

“Thanks.” I mumbled with a sad voice. I was going to have to take things I normally didn’t think about, or the things which others would do their best not to do around me, for fear their lives would end.

“Well let’s head back.” She said smiling as she put me onto her back, and then she flew into the sky, ever so slowly, making me clinch my fists. She was so slow! I felt a roar in my belly forcing me to stifled it down with a swallow of saliva.

“Um, not to be rude, but, could you fly faster?”

“Oh, sorry.” She picked up a tiny bit of speed making my eye twitch. How can a pony be so infuriating?! I was going to kill her as slow as she was flying, I needed to get off her or I was going to lose my mind.

“You know, it might be faster walking.”

“Sorry.” She picked up speed, she was apparently also a nitwit! Or she was as thick as a brick! She couldn’t take the hint to land us.

“It’s fine.” I sighed and started to scratch her back making her squeak, I stopped and she blushed. I had never heard such a cute sound come from a pony, or anything for that matter, no beast had ever made that sound before.

“Spike, I’m ticklish!” She scolded me lightly, her voice had gone up an octave.

“Really.” I chimed with a smirk as I went near her ear, making sure my warm breath made her hair stand up. “But, you didn’t tell me no.” I whispered gently and she blushed looking at me. I smiled at her and she blushed even more looking forward quickly.

“D-don’t do that Spike.” She said very softly.

“I can’t hear you!” I said with a light growl and started to itch her back, making her squeak and sequel. She fell a few feet to the ground, then threw me off her back breathing hard, and blushing harder. “Come on Fluttershy, don’t you like it?” She backed up shaking her head no. “Why not, those were really cute sounds.” She walked into a tree looking behind her panicking, fear tensed her body making her sweat. Such a sweet smell fear.

“Spike stop.” She squeaked, had it not been for the fact I could read her lips, I wouldn’t have understood her.

“I didn’t quite catch that.” Tears went down her face.

“Spike, please stop, your scaring me.” She said choking on tears. I went up to her and grabbed her hair pulling her close to my face.

“Stop what?” I kissed her making surprise go through her face. She pulled back hitting the tree with her back rather hard, she breathed heavily almost hyperventilating, staring at me completely shocked.

“Spike, I-I-I , don’t feel like that toward you, I thought you like Rarity!” She said in a very high pitched voice.

“Really, but then again, you make cuter sounds, now why would I want to pass that up for Rarity?” She looked around scared. I jumped grabbing her hoof and pushing her against the ground so she was on her back. I sat down on her chest being rather small. I rubbed her face softly with my claws, making her take in a scattered breath.

“Spike, stop.” She begged quietly.

“Then stop me, you’re a beautiful mare Fluttershy, you probably haven’t seen the right end to a nice colt have you?” I rubbed her side. I changed to my normal form and her eyes went wide with surprise. “Come now Fluttershy,” I whispered with ash coming from the corners of my mouth. “You wouldn’t want me to get mad would you?” I growled lightly making her tremble with fear, sending streams of tears down her face.

“Who-who are you?!” She asked with a high pitched speak.

“Your nightmare.” I growled with liquid flames dripping from my lips burning the grass next to her head. She passed out cold, and I chuckled falling to the side. I changed back to my baby form.

I hit her on the forehead a little making it bleed, then tossed her into the air letting her hit the ground with a crack. I laid down cutting my arm, then I dislocated it, and then made a gash on my cheek. I couldn’t afford this fun, but it was far too tempting.

“FOUND SPIKE, AND FLUTTERSHY!” Rainbow Dash shouted. She landed and looked at me surprised.

“Hey Rainbow Dash.” I said smiling and her eyes went wide.

“TWILIGHT FAST!” She screamed panicking. “What happen?” She asked.

“I don’t know,” I said quickly. “Something hit us while we were flying and, well we fell. I think Fluttershy broke a leg.”

Twilight appeared next to us, but Luna and Celestia weren’t with her this time. She looked at us and we appeared in Ponyville from her teleportation magic. I looked around at Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkamena Diane. I paused at Pinkamena Diane, she was pink instead of golden in color.

“To the hospital!” Twilight shouted as she picked me up, the others picked up Fluttershy running us inside. The nurse ran over checking us out.

“What happen to you?” Applejack asked, I grunted a little as the nurse lifted my arm, this didn’t actually hurt, I had done so much worse, and with magic, well I felt little pain, just a little bit of a tingle.

“Something jumped out of the forest and hit her, we fell a little hard, I blacked out for a few minutes, I think.”

“No, what happen in the forest.” Twilight asked, and I looked at her like I didn’t know what she meant, I knew, but it would be easier to lie, at least for now.

“Forest, I just told you.”

“No when we found you after you ran off.” Rainbow Dash said.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I was on top of a hill for the whole day, enjoying the breeze, then Fluttershy found me, she told me you guys were looking for me. So she put me on her back and started flying us back.”

“Spike that can’t be,” Twilight said. “We were talking in town just before that, I know that was you, you, teleported?” She asked pausing a bit confused, this Spike didn’t know magic, had pathetic! “That doesn’t make sense.”

“Wait,” Applejack said. “That was green fire!” All of them looked at her.

“Didn’t the Chrysalis Queen use green fire magic?!” Rarity asked finishing what Applejack started.

“SPIKE NO!” Fluttershy shouted waking up and falling out of bed. We all looked at her confused, my lie was going just as planned.

“Calm down miss!” The nurse shouted trying to pull her back onto the bed. “You had a bad fall!”

“Fluttershy calm down.” Rainbow Dash said helping to restrain her. She looked at me scared.

“Spike attacked me!” She shouted and they looked at me for a moment.

“No he didn’t,” Twilight said. “While you were flying something hit you over the head, and you fell.”

“But he, he, he was tickling me on my back, and then I landed, he-he kissed me! Then he threw me down and-and he changed form! He became a large dragon!” She cried.

“It was a Chrysalis!” Pinkamena Diane shouted throwing some confetti in the air, making everyone give her a weird look. So it wasn’t just me, she was weird.

“What?” She asked looking at me. “But you choked me on the hill.”

“What?” Twilight asked looking at me.

“No, you told me everyone was looking for me. I then got on your back, and we started to fly, then something hit us, I don’t know what it was, but I blacked out to. It must have been a Chrysalis or something, you said it changed forms right?”

“Yeah, then, is the Queen Chrysalis back?!” She asked hiding under the bed moving too fast for the nurse to even grab her. I wanted to grin so widely that my face would rip. It was perfect, letting them fill in the blanks just so perfectly, was great.

“Everyone what are your secret words?!” Twilight asked and they all whispered it into her ear one after another, she went up to me and I paused. This is what you would call a bad moment, if they all had different words, I didn’t matter if I overheard them all.

“I forgot,” I said and they all got into a battle posture. “Whoa wait-wait! I just forgot it, I’m Spike! Please I’m not a Chrysalis!” Twilight scanned me and it tickled a little. She let out a breath and so did I.

“Okay, he’s not one, he’s real, Spike you can’t forget important words like that, what if she came back? I guess I have to tell you it again.” She went up to my ear and whispered into my ear. “Jellybean.” She stepped back. “Now don’t forget it again alright.” How could anyone forget a stupid password like jellybean?! Oh they were so stupid! How could they be so pure? How could they trust this Spike so much?

“Sorry.”

“Alright everyone, we’re good, I'll tell Princess Celestia about everything that has happen, and make sure that no one else has been switched.” She teleported away and the nurse grabbed my arm.

“This is going to hurt, but we need to put this back into place.”

“Then do it.” I said coldly. She pushed it back into place and I grunted at the sharp pain. I sighed and moved my arm making sure it was in working order.

“Doesn’t that hurt?!” She shouted panicked and I paused. Dislocating an arm should normally hurt for days or weeks, not instantly feel better.

“It feels fine, it didn’t hurt, I just couldn’t lift my arm or anything.”

“Whoa Spike, tough guy much?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“What do you mean?” She looked at me a bit odd.

“Maybe you should go rest for a while,” Applejack said. “You’ve had a hard day.”

“Is Fluttershy alright? She hit her head a bit hard.”

“She has a small concussion,” the nurse said. “Nothing to worry about if she rests, she can’t sleep for a while or leave, but she should be fine.” I let out a fake sigh of relief, I wanted to see her convulse so hard, that she bit her tongue choking on her own blood, but at this point, all I could do was hope.

The nurse came over to me and wrapped my wounds up. They all of them went their separate ways as Twilight came back, and apparently I lived with Twilight in the library. Why would anyone live in a Library? I of course found out when I walked inside.

Twilight in this world was a bookworm, in the other world, she was simply great at making spells, in this one, she was great at being a bookworm. I didn’t know how she would work into my plans, but I was going to find a way.

“Spike.” I turned to Twilight as she entered the library, seeing me staring at her table of experiments. “Are you alright? Didn’t you hit your head to?” I paused.

“Sorry, I’m just worried about Fluttershy. I hope she’s fine, I kind of fell on her when she crashed so, I’m still a bit worried.” I said trying my best to fake innocents. Talk about bad luck, I was probably going to end up as the pet of a freaking alicorn.

“Don’t worry about it, she understands that what happen wasn’t you, she told me to tell you to come by any time, she has always loved baby dragons.”

“I will, and I’m sorry about not telling you about going to the hill, I, sometimes just like the air.”

“You should leave a note, but I understand.”

“So what happen today?”

“Nothing much, just was talking to Celestia about a few things, Luna came along because she had business here today with Zecora.”

“Oh.”

“Well I should get back to work, just rest today, I don’t want you to over work yourself, chores can wait till later.” I paused, was I her pet? Probably, in my world she had hatched me, even as a hatchling I ripped apart two timber wolves that were after her. She took me in and I learned magic from her, but I didn’t know if that was true here.

“Spiky!” Pinkamena Diane grabbed me throwing me into the air like a baby. She caught me hugging me. “How you doing little guy?!” She sang.

“Ouch.” I grunted and she put me down quickly.

“PINKY PIE!” Twilight shouted at her. “Spike was hurt, you can’t go throwing him around!”

“I’m sorry.” She said with a sorry expression.

“It’s fine.” I said quickly, as I pet her on her head. It was the first time anyone had ever done that to me, I was also proud of myself, that I hadn’t ripped her to pieces. She looked like a ball of energy and a ball of fun, but something was off, I just didn’t know what. “I’m sorry for making everyone worry.”

“It’s fine Spike,” Twilight said. “You should sleep, you need to heal.”

“Actually it doesn’t hurt, I just won’t be able to lift heavy things for a while, and I wanted to look up a few things.”

“Oh sure.”

“Twilight,” Pinkie Pie said. “We have to go, Applejack will be mad if we don’t hurry up and get there.” Twilight rolled her eyes.

“I know, Spike you can eat anything you like today, but no sweets, you know how that keeps you up, and gives you a stomachache.”

“Yes mother.” She stopped and looked at me.

“Really? Spike you know how hyper you’ll get.” I paused.

“Oh I know, I was telling you yes, I won’t eat anything sweet, wait is it weird that you’re my mom?” She blushed a little and looked at Pinkie Pie.

“Twilight you have been making Spike call you mommy!” She laughed making Twilight face hoof, blushing. “Everyone will love this!” She ran out disappearing.

“Pinkie! Wait!” She sighed and I chuckled a little.

“Spike I am not your mom, you’ve never called me that before.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.” She looked worried. “It’s just, I’ve been feeling a little lonely being the only dragon around, and you did raise me right?”

“Well yes, I guess, but I didn’t give birth to you.”

“Then you’re my mom.” I hugged her making her blush even more. “Please don’t make me call you anything else.” I whispered slightly.

“Okay, Spike, you can call me mom, just, just not around the others.”

“Thanks.” I smiled and she went out closing the door behind her. I grinned, oh this was going to be fun! I looked around, with no one around, I could use magic. I snapped my claws absorbing all the information from every last book I needed in minutes, and sitting down actually tired.

I rarely got tired like this, or rather, this body was. This wasn’t my body, so of course I hadn’t eaten enough gems. I was going to get tired a lot easier, and I would have to figure out something if I was going to do anything. I crawled into a bed on the second floor and yawned falling asleep pulling the blankets closer.
