We start our story with a full grown dragon walking home to Twilight’s castle. His name was Spike and he had an amazing night with his mare friend Starlight. Bet you’re wondering how they got together. Well it all started when they met at a mysterious village and she used to be evil when she stole everyone’s cutie marks. That was an issue back then. But in the end Twilight Sparkle reformed her making her realize the mistake she made and returned all the cutie marks back. It took a while for her to get to know the ponies and apologize but it all worked out. And Spike grew feelings for her and confessed at the Gala. Now they were dating for months and still are. Spike sat down and grabbed a book.

“Ahh. What a night it was for me and my girl. Now I feel like reading a story.” Spike said as he looked at the book.

The book he had is called Cinderella. A classic fairy tale about a princess who wanted to go to the ball and marry the prince. But her wicked stepmother wouldn’t allow that. He sighed happily as he remembered the first time he read that and continued for like a million times. Yep. It was indeed his favorite story.

“Ahh Cinderella. My favorite fairy tale. But I read this like a million times now.” Spike said. 

Then suddenly a spark went off in his head meaning he has an idea.

“Wait. I read the original script a million times. But maybe this time I can imagine it in my own way! I can pretend that I am the handsome prince and Starlight can be Cinderella! That would be an amazing story! Let’s try it out.” Spike said.

He opened the book and began to start reading it but in his own version.

“Once upon a time in a land far away from here was a tiny kingdom. In the land was a little house where a wicked woman lived with her 2 daughters. But she had a step daughter who lived with her and unfortunately wasn’t very nice to her adopted daughter. She was wicked, cruel, heartless, and cold. And was jealous of her beauty. Time went by and she forced her stepdaughter to be a servant around the house. But she remained calm and happy. She hoped that one day her dream of happiness would come true.” Spike read.

And thus we begin our story when we see the scenery change into the setting Spike narrated.
