Growing up, Spike never really knew his parents, who they were or what they were like. And because he was raised (and constantly surrounded) by many, many beautiful women, he never really had a dad, a father… or even a father-figure.
 
Until the day he met Scorpan.
 
At first, Scorpan didn’t know how to interact with Spike. But with Celestia’s help, Scorpan slowly grew into the role of Spike’s mentor, guardian and male role model, more like a caring uncle than anything else.
 
Spike would tag along with Scorpan almost wherever he went, and over time Scorpan became very protective of the boy. Scorpan wished the day would never come when Spike would grow up, just so he could continue to guide the young boy to adolescence and eventually adulthood, so that he could become a good man… if for just a little while longer.
 
But Celestia knew that Scorpan had done a good job.
 
“Happy Father’s Day, Dad! I love you.”  
“I love you too, Son.”
