I need to try that ChatGPT thing sometime to see what sort of nonsense I can write with it. I do know some writers who say it’s helpful as long as you use it to assist with your writing or to help inspire ideas rather than as a replacement.
Spike the dragon had finally reached the end of a grueling year-long hibernation. As he blinked awake, his eyes adjusted to the darkness surrounding him. He yawned, stretching his claws before realizing something was off. Very off.“Why is it so cramped in here?” Spike muttered, patting the velvet walls. “And why does it smell like… lavender?“He reached up and pushed against the lid of what he thought was a very tight bedroom door. The lid creaked open, and light flooded in, nearly blinding him. As his vision cleared, Spike saw that he was surrounded by flowers—tons of flowers. Balloons, too. And a banner that read, “Gone, But Never Forgotten.“Spike sat up in what he now realized was a coffin. “What the hay?!“Suddenly, a chorus of gasps filled the room. He looked around to see Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and the rest of the gang staring at him in shock, their jaws practically on the floor.“Spike!” Twilight shrieked, eyes wide with disbelief. “You’re… alive?!”“Uh, yeah? Why wouldn’t I be?” Spike hopped out of the coffin, casually brushing off flower petals. “Why am I in this thing, anyway? Did you all forget I was just hibernating?”“Hibernating?” Rarity fainted dramatically onto a conveniently placed couch. Rainbow Dash tried to look cool, but her wings were twitching with panic. Pinkie Pie bounced over, already pulling out a party cannon.“Well, duh! Of course you were hibernating! We knew that!” Pinkie laughed nervously, quickly switching the banner to one that read “Welcome Back, Spike!” with a flick of her hoof.Twilight facehoofed. “We thought you were… gone forever. We had a whole memorial service! We even put up a statue in the park!“Spike’s eyes widened. “A statue? How long was I out?”“One year,” Applejack chimed in. “You didn’t leave a note or nothin’. We thought—well, that you kicked the bucket.”“A whole year? That’s nothing! Dragons hibernate for like, centuries sometimes!” Spike said, crossing his arms in disbelief. “Didn’t you think to check the dragon handbook?“Fluttershy peeked out from behind her mane. “Um, I might have… misfiled that under ‘Mythical Creatures’… Sorry.“Spike just stared at them all. “So you had a funeral for me. And no one thought to check my pulse?“The group shared a guilty look. Twilight nervously levitated a checklist from her saddlebag. “In hindsight… there may have been some oversights.“Spike sighed. “Well, I guess it’s the thought that counts. So, what did I miss?“Twilight smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. “Uh, well, Ponyville is still standing, but… we did sell off your comic book collection.“Spike gasped. “You what?!“Rainbow Dash waved her hoof dismissively. “Don’t worry, Spike! We put the bits towards a sweet new memorial fountain! It has your face on it!”“Great,” Spike grumbled. “So now I’m broke and famous… for being dead.“Twilight gave him a sheepish grin. “Hey, look on the bright side! At least you got a coffin out of it? And, um… we saved you a slice of your memorial cake?“Spike just shook his head and sighed. “Next time, I’m leaving a note.”

Spike is literally my favorite character in the show, I’m just sad that they squander his potential; I mean seriously they gave him a backstory that was so mysterious and open ended yet they just write him off. seriously they don’t bother to try and develop him much, seriously Starlight has more development than him and she came way after him. it just sucks how they make him the Butt of almost all jokes they involve him in. They write spike as if he was some random egg Celestia found and used to test new students not cause he was special or anything like that but cause she needed something to test twilight.
Well, I won’t start a long discussion about how awesome Spike actually is. I know that many bronies and pegasisters don’t like him or thinks that he’s quite underdeveloped, but I appreciate him a lot. He’s a great er, no show-off and as you said, he has a quite unique personality.

I wish it was an official rule not to post spoilers. So you wont get in trouble for this, but please know, you have done a really inconsiderate thing.
Not bad, not bad. Thanks.
