My origin story:

Spike's parents were caught in a civil war between flying and flightless. They tried to escape the war, but Spike's father was killed. His mother took his egg to Canterlot. She was mortally injured, and with her last breath, she entrusted her egg to Princess Celestia's care. Celestia could sense the unborn dragon was somehow connected to one of the new wielders of the Elements of Harmony, so she took care of the egg, letting prospective students test their magic on it, too discover the new wielder of the Element of Magic. That turned out to be Twilight Sparkle.
