Here's an interesting idea for an episode, which would be best executed as a two-parter. Spike begins to have dreams, seen from his point of view in the egg he was in, about being abandoned, and trying to cry out for his parents. Bothered by this, he and the his pony friends travel to Canterlot, and he tries to ask the princess about this, but she tries to ignore it. However, when discussing it with Twilight and her friends privately, she tells that long ago, a group of walking, dangerous dragons ravaged through Equestria. Observing the damage, the princess noticed an egg that the dragons must have left behind, and brought it back to Canterlot. She decided to use the egg in a test to find an appropriate pony to hatch it and raise it like a pony, and thus, Twilight received him. To prevent Spike from learning the truth, she ordered anything about dragons to be destroyed so Spike would never find out, and advises Twilight and her friends to not tell him. However, on the way back to Ponyville, Spike overhears the truth, and secretly runs away, feeling betrayed by his "family" for keeping something from him. While looking for him, Twilight tells her friends stories about how she raised Spike, which could explain numerous traits about him. Spike would eventually come across his family, and eventually becomes accepted by them. Upon noticing how happy he is, Twilight tearfully advises she and her friends return to Ponyville, proclaiming Spike is happy where he is despite protests from her friends. When Twilight returns home, she throws away everything that reminds her of Spike, including a picture when he was born. However, when Spike's family want him to join them in destroying towns, including Ponyville, he refuses, and returns to the ponies.
