Description tl;dr
Twilight, Rarity (and all the mane 6) are still fillies, while Spike is an adult. Where in the show young Spike immediately falls in love in Rarity, here the opposite happens.

EDIT (14.08.2014): Tweaked a few things.

My dearest friend. I would ask a favor from you.
Yes, Celly?
This year's Summer Sun Celebration takes place in a small village of Ponyville. I would have you travel there to check on the preparations.
It would also be wonderful, if you could take my young student with you.
You're sending me just to check on preparations for a holiday AND you're sending your protΓ©gΓ©?
Celly, what are you not telling me?
... Please, just trust me, my friend.

Some time later...

Hmm... I hope I'll manage to decorate the Town Hall in time for the celebration. Oh, hello?
Decorations. Beautiful!
... beautiful indeed... <3

A slight role (and age) reversal of the scene in the very first episode, which started the awkward relationship and became the reason for so many facepalms in the future. Please, download to appreciate the finer details and just tell me what you think .

Oh a very interesting concept for this AU. Is there a whole story you have written out in relation to this picture?

"Written"? Pfft, I wish...
Nope, just an idea that came to me. I already have several scenes from the show, but "reversed" like that, in my head. I'm just too lazy to actually sit down and draw them. Also, too busy with IRL stuff.
But thank you for the comment.

Not huge on Sparity (age and species differences peeve me) more of a Spike X CMC fan but I love the idea behind this.Β

You know nothing about Spike's age and these are fictional characters we talking about.

You said they are fillies but looking from here they look a lot like they are teenagers

Lol. I'm glad you like it so much . Makes me really happy.
Perhaps I will consider drawing more scenes in this AU.
Do you mean 'more of adult Spike' or something else?

SkarmoryThePG In reply to xonxt [2014-08-15 13:34:34 +0000 UTC]

More of this AU, specifically. But the reversal makes me happy to see, I won't lie! Or I'm just a sucker for Sparity. Take your pick.

I didn't think of filly-Twilight as being Spike's assistant. She is still Celestia's student (albeit much younger) and was just accompanying Spike on his trip on Celestia's behest.

But still, nice continuation of the dialogue .

Ha, I had this in my head for the longest time since seeing another age reversal pic (excluding Spike, as the reversal was Mane6/CMC). I love your rendition.

Ooh, don't tempt me. I instantly had an idea for one involving dumping the age-reversed and canon Spikes in each other's universe.

xonxt In reply to bico-kun [2014-08-14 10:37:27 +0000 UTC]

Well don't let me stop you .
I love me some good Spike fic. It could involve Rarity immediately falling for the older Spike, while the younger grows more and more annoyed at that.

Well, everything is normal. It's an AU, where Twilight, Rarity (and all the mane 6) are still fillies, while Spike is an adult.Β
