In another life...

"....she would have been my wife...and her my little girl...."

This is not an anti-sparity thing. Honestly, they would probably make a cute couple! But I can not get over how they made him a dog in Equestria girls. If they made him a younger kid that has a crush on the older girl, I wouldn't have any problems with the ship!

Anyway, when Grace was much younger, too young to travel, her father often left for Canterlot on business. Since Rarity is often busy making gowns, Spike was first to offer his hand in babysitting! Grace is very close to Spike since he helped raise her, she often refers to him as Uncle Spike! Sadly, Spike can't help but feel heart broken and jealous each time Fancy Pants comes home.
