> I called out to Moondancer. “Moondancer! Over here.”
>
> “Oh hey, Spike! Where’s Twilight? She’s missing out on the party.”
>
> “That’s the thing,” I said. “Twilight can’t come to your party.”
>
> “Aww.” Moondancer sighed. "Why not?"
>
> “Don't take it the wrong way. It’s not that she doesn’t want to hang out with you or the other girls. Twilight would love to come to your party. It’s just that Princess Celestia wants Twilight to go to Ponyville for some reason, and it must be important if it’s a task from the Princess. I promise, Twilight and I will come visit you when we get the chance.”

> “I understand. Thank you for telling me, Spike.”
>
> “You’re welcome. Oh, and…Happy Birthday, Moondancer.” I gave her my present.
>
> “Thanks.” She took the present and then hugged me. This was the first time I was hugged by a pony. It was actually very nice. After she let go, I took one of the cookies and headed out.

I haven't made any artwork in a while, so I thought I could make some fanart from one of my fanfic's "Spike the Brony Dragon." This scene is from the first chapter.
