Ponies grow up. They get bigger, stronger, smarter, and eventually they get their cutie marks. Dragons grow up too. He may not get a cutie mark, but Spike does get a talent of his own- one that can easily be abused. One day, he'll grow bigger than his friends. He'll grow stronger than the strongest stallion. He might even breathe real fire. That day might be a little closer than you think.

(Takes place after season 2)
