I felt the need to make a cute pic using my vectors of my hypothetical versions of the MLPFIM characters when they’re older so I decided to draw Flurry Heart giving Spike a surprise tackle hug.  So cute!!  :3

In my headcanon of a future for the FIM characters, I envision Spike and Flurry being close friends and she would refer to him as “Uncle Spike” sometimes.  He’d be assisting her a lot on some of her adventures much like we see with Spike and Twilight in the current show.  Now that Spike is much bigger, he’d serve as more of a protector in cases of trouble but is still there for her like he was for Twilight when he was a baby dragon.
