Description
“Where should I start?” Spike said to himself. “Maybe I could ask — oh! I know who to ask!”
He ran to the outskirts of Ponyville, and reached Fluttershy's cottage.
“Discord!” He shouted, knocking repeatedly on the door.
Suddenly, Discord materialized out of the doormat, holding a cup of coffee. “Shh! We just got the kids down for a nap!” he hissed.
“Oh, sorry.” Spike apologized. “I just need to ask a favor of you.”
“Alright, what is it?”
“So, earlier today, I overheard Twilight and Ember talking about how —”
“— how something is stopping you from growing, and you want to know what,” Discord finished. “I'll get right on it.”
“How'd you know?”
“When you're a father of two beings of chaos, you tend to pick up on a few things.”
He then turned his head into a satellite dish, and started scanning around him. He came down after about ten seconds and said, “I've figured it out, but you're not going to like it.”
“What is it?”
“Well, you remember how Twilight once wrote a Daring Do fanfic that took place far in the future, but then the next book came out, conflicting with her story?”
“Yeah…” Spike didn't see where he was going with this.
“Well, this is just like that, except… WE'RE IN the fanfiction.”
Spike's mind nearly shattered.
“wh-What?”
“There’s a pony in this world who writes and draws stories about us, and whatever she writes and/or draws happens to us.”
Spike understood, sighing in relief. “Oh thank goodness. I thought for a second that our lives were written by someone else. So, where is this pony?”
“Well, she travels a lot. Right now, she's flying over Crumbleden.”
“Where's that?”
“Oh, that's not important. I can teleport you there.”
“Okay, then do it!”
“Before I do, I need to give you this:” Discord handed him a little bronze bell on a blue ribbon. “It's a bell that'll teleport you home when you ring it three times and think 'There’s no place like home’.”
“Thanks!” Spike took the bell and hung it around his neck like a medal.
Discord snapped his fingers, and Spike was teleported.

EDITS:
8/4: Changed the dialogue so Discord interrupts earlier, further warranting the question of how he knew.
