Is anyone else a little confused about spike's relationship with Twilight now? Spike loves Twilight as family (confirmed in Owl's Well That Ends Well, and Dragon Quest) and shows that she returns his feelings. Also, in the flashbacks, it shows Twi spending time with shining armor BEFORE she got her cutie mark. So most likely, after the exam, she spent more time with Spike and Celestia. Yet, she mentions how Shining Armor was her only friend. What about Spike? He was seen hanging out with her in Canterlot in the first episode. And is always by her side in a predicament. So what is her opinion of him? Does she see him as a little brother (with shining armor, she looks up to him, unlike spike who's younger)? A son (Lauren confirmed that the whole celestia raising him thing was a concept that wasn't made canon in the show, and so his backstory may be different)? Or just a friend?
