Finding Spike / Getting to know Spike
One day, There was a baby dragon that was lost in the Everfree Forest. He seems very lost and wish he wasn't
forever alone.
But then a nice, happy little purple filly entered the Everfree Forest and she was scoping around
the entire place.
She then finds the lost dragon, she gets closer to it for a better look. "Aww, a sweet wittle
dwagon, Are you wost?" The filly said. The baby dragon shook his little head "Yes". The young filly said "You
look kinda cute, How about I take you home and take care of you?" The dragon shook his head "Yes" to the filly.
"My Name is Twilight, the filly said. "You look like an interesting little dragon. I'll call you Spike. How about
that?" The little dragon approves of the name and likes it a lot, and made it safely out of the Everfree Forest.
"Hmm... what should I do with you?", Twilight thought to herself. "I'll try feeding you something. Umm... Here,
Do you like milk?",
Spike responds by shaking his head "No" to Twilight.
"Oh, ok. Umm... Do you like water?"
Spike, again responded "No" to Twilight.
"Oh my gosh, What do you like then? Books, scrolls, fruit, gems--,
Spike said "Yes" to Twilight. "Aah! You talk?!", exclaimed Twilight. "Yes, Twilight.", responded Spike.
"Aah! You even know my actual name?! How?!?", exclaimed Twilight. "I think you told me when you found me
in the Everfree Forest. Don't you remember?", responded Spike. "Oh, I guess you're right.", said Twilight.
"Can I have some gems please?", asked Spike. "Of course Spike, Here you go.", said Twilight. "Wow, Thanks!", said
Spike. "Those gems taste awesome, Thanks Twilight!" said Spike. "Don't mention it!", said Twilight.
"Who's a good dragon? Hmm, I think it's you!" "Heh heh, I think you're such a sweet filly.", said
Spike. "Aww, thanks Spike.", responded Twilight.
"You wanna go outside?", said Twilight. "Yeah I guess...", responded Spike. "Are you sure about this? Because I'm not a hundred percent sure about this, What if I'm exposed to anypony outside?" said Spike, worried.
"Oh come on, I'm sure anypony won't be scared of you.", said Twilight. "I'll be there with you all the time, I won't let anypony hurt you. Trust me.", promised Twilight. So the two set hoof outside the house and so far, nopony has noticed. "Phew! At least nopony is around to see you." said Twilight.
Out of nowhere, Fluttershy sees the baby dragon and said, "Oh, a baby dragon! I've never seen anything
like it, it's pretty cute!" "Thanks.", responded Spike. Fluttershy gasps when she first heard him say something. "Oh
my gosh, You talk?" "Well, Yeah.", responded Spike. "What's your name?", said Fluttershy. "I'm Spike",
responded Spike. "Hello Spike, I'm Fluttershy." said Fluttershy. "Hello Fluttershy, I'm Twilight.", said Twilight.
"Hi Twilight.", responded Fluttershy. "Where did you find this interesting creature?"
"I just found him in the Everfree Forest around five and a half hours ago." responded Twilight. "You found him in the Everfree Forest? I'm way too scared to go in there." said Fluttershy. "Do you know how to take care of one of those little creatures?"
"I'm sure it'll be easy. I mean, how hard can it be?", said Twilight. "Oh, then it's recommended that you get him
whatever he likes most, that's the secret but not too much of it though.", whispered Fluttershy.
"Alright, Do you want to help me take care of Spike?", asked Twilight. "Oh I would love to help you take care of Spike.", said
Fluttershy. "That's great!", said Twilight. She leaves Spike at home so nopony would know that she is currently
taking caring of a dragon, then the two ponies went shopping.
After a long hour of being home alone, Spike then starts to get worried. "Gosh, I hope Twilight's okay.", said
Spike. "I really hope I get more gems, I love them so infinitely much yum."
Twilight finally returns home. "Oh Spike, I'm finally home!", she said. "Sorry for the long delay, I brought some stuff for us!" "Oh goody!", replied Spike. "What did you bring home?"
"All I brought home was a new book. It's tells you about how to take care of any kind of dragon here in Equestria. I can't wait to read it someday, or maybe I'll read it in a few minutes.", replied Twilight.
"Ooh Twilight, I have something really cool to show you!", said Spike. "Ooh! Show me what you got, Spike.", said Twilight. "I can take a simple piece of paper, write a letter to um let's say Princess Celestia for example." explained Spike. He wrote "Dear Princess Celestia, I learned a valuable lesson in friendship and that's staying close to friends that care about you and will always be there no matter what. Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle." Then he blew on the paper and it really did catch on fire and it was sent directly to Princess Celestia.
"Gosh, that was a pretty awesome talent you got Spike, that was very impressive." said Twilight. "Thanks but that's
not all, Twilight.", responded Spike. "After Princess Celestia writes a letter and sends it to me, I breathe out fire and the
letter appears. It's like magic!", explained Spike. "Wow! I really like that little talent of yours, I have never in all of
Equestria seen a dragon like you do that." said Twilight.
"Is that the last of it, or is there more?" "To be a hundred percent honest with you Twilight, this is definitely the last of it.", "Oh okay.", said Twilight. "I'm pretty sure you'll learn some more abilities, or maybe you can even experience the wonders of friendship!" "Belch, I just obtained a letter from Princess Celestia!", said Spike. "Ooh, what does it say?", said Twilight.
Spike reads the note that reads, "Dear Twilight Sparkle, I'm very proud of you that you learned the most important lesson here in Equestria, but what's more important is actually making lots of friends. But still, I'm very happy that you learned a lesson. Sincerely, Princess Celestia."
"That is a really nice letter! I'll have to cherish that moment.", said Twilight. "Or I guess you can read the
letter again if you want to.", replied Spike. "Oh, I guess that'll work out a lot, precisely.", said Twilight.
"Do you want to go meet all my other friends? It's going to be really fun!" "Hmm, what kind of friends?", replied Spike. "Oh don't be so silly Spike, all of my friends are ponies.", said Twilight. "Wait... around 2 and a half hours earlier, we both saw
Fluttershy, is she one of your friends?", said Spike. "Well, Actually yes Spike, I would have to mention Applejack and
Rarity.", said Twilight. "Ooh, Rarity sound like a really beautiful name.", said Spike. "Can we meet her first and then
Applejack?" "Sure, why not?", replied Twilight.
"This has to be the best moment in my life. I'm sure Rarity looks nice and all.", said Spike. "Tally ho Twilight, let's go!" "Okay, I guess.", said Twilight.
And so Twilight and Spike went over to Rarity's for a little visit. Spike could not wait any longer, he was so happy and a little impatient at the same time. To pass the time, Spike and Twilight played a fun game that unfortunately all ponies really love to play, precisely. Spike enjoyed the game that ponies like to play and they finally arrive at Rarity's.
Spike: (exhales) I'm beat.
Twilight: Same here. What a day.
Spike: I'm ready to go to sleep. (yawns) I'm going to stop dreaming about ice cream and probably dream more
about Rarity.
Twilight: I guess that dream of yours is really dreamy. (puts Spike to bed)
Spike: I think yours is really dreamy too.
Twilight: Thanks, Spike.
Spike: Can you tell me a story Twilight? Please?
Twilight: Oh, okay. Once upon a time, there was a baby dragon. He seems very lost in the forest and wish he
wasn't alone. But then a nice, happy little filly entered the Everfree Forest and she was scoping around
the entire place.
Spike: Ooh, this story's getting interesting.
Twilight: Then she finds the lost dragon, she gets closer to it for a better look. "Aww, a sweet wittle dwagon,
Are you wost?" The dragon shook his little head "Yes". The young filly said "How about I take you home and
take care of you?"
Spike: I love that story of yours. We'll have to finish it tomorrow night.
Twilight: Huh? But we gotta try to finish it now! The best part is coming--
Spike: [snores]
Twilight: Ohh... Sleep tight I guess...
[theme song]
Twilight: [sleeps]
[flashback]
Filly Twilight: Who's a good dragon? Hmm, I think it's you!
Baby Spike: [giggles]
Filly Twilight: Let me see if there's some leftover formula I can give you. Here it is! [puts bottle in Spike's mouth]
Baby Spike: [drinks]
Filly Twilight: D'aww you look so cute the way you drink like that.
Baby Spike: [stops drinking, whines]
Filly Twilight: [gasps] Ohh, what do I do? What's wrong, Spike?
Baby Spike: [whines louder]
Filly Twilight: Oh no. There's gotta be something to make you calm down. Think Twilight, Think!
Baby Spike: [whines quietly]
Filly Twilight: Huh? Are you tired? Hungry? Need a change?
Baby Spike: [stops whining]
Filly Twilight: Oh, you want me to pat your back?
Baby Spike: Mm-hmm...
Filly Twilight: Well okay! [pats Spike's back]
Baby Spike: [small belch]
Filly Twilight: I guess that's better.
Baby Spike: [giggle]
Filly Twilight: Come on! Let's play!
[pause flashback]
Pinkie Pie: [knocks on door]
Twilight: [wakes up] I wonder who that could be. [opens door] What's going on Pinkie? We're sleeping.
Pinkie Pie: Couldn't sleep. I need a story to help me fall sound asleep.
Spike: [in distance] "Don't want to miss this, It's our sleepy-time check list."
Twilight: Come with me.
Pinkie Pie: Wait, are you any good at making up stories?
Twilight: Was while I was sleeping until you came.
Pinkie Pie: Can you tell me the one you were making up before I came here?
Twilight: Okay but come with me upstairs.
Pinkie Pie: Ready whenever you are!
Twilight: Okay.
[continue flashback]
Twilight: I wasn't sure how to take care of a baby dragon, but I was able to get the hang of it. But I still needed
help taking full care of it. So I went to the vet to learn more about the dragon. He was a big help to me. He even
gave me an Egghead's Guide to Taking Care of Animals book. It did contain information on all animals and
creatures in the book. I was surprised that there's even a guide on how to take care of a small dragon. The picture
looked exactly like Spike. I think it was going to be super easy. So I went to take Spike back home to make sure
he's okay on the way, But I had to stop and talk to Flutter-- [pause flashback]
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Hi, Twilight!
Twilight: Girls! What are you doing here?
Sweetie Belle: We came to hear your story!
Apple Bloom: Eeyup!
Scootaloo: What's it about?
Twilight: It's called "My Little Spike".
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Ooh!
Apple Bloom: That sounds really interesting!
Scootaloo: You must continue your interesting story, Twilight.
Pinkie Pie: Yeah, Continue! This has been the most awesome and interesting story I've yet heard!
Twilight: Okay, I guess. [looks out window] Alright, back to the story.
[continue flashback]
Twilight: Before I went home to read the information about how to take care of a dragon, I went to Fluttershy's
house to show her the dragon I found in the Everfree Forest. Fluttershy finds it really cute. She offers to help me
take care of Spike. I approve of her help. Fluttershy brought food and supplies with her then went over at my
house to learn more about taking care of Spike. I opened up the book and got to work. I told Fluttershy that I
already fed and burped him so that part's taken care of. Fluttershy grabbed my attention when she saw Spike
sucking on his own tail. Me and Fluttershy were like "D'aww" when he did something like that. It was very cute.
What I wanted out of all of Equestria was that I wanted to hear Spike say his first words. I just wish it would
happen as soon as possible so I can treasure this hilarious moment in my life. Fluttershy and I got back to taking
care of Spike. I laid a nice comfy blanket on top of Spike so he would be all snuggly and warm. After that I went
to go get a pillow for Spike to lay his comfy head on, but Spike wasn't tired so I went to go get it anyway just in--
[pause flashback]
Rarity: [knocks on door]
Spike: [wakes up] Will somepony get that?
Twilight: What's with these ponies at this time of night? Now I have to pause and get the door again. [opens door]
Rarity? Applejack? What are you two doing here?
Rarity: I've come to get Sweetie Belle.
Applejack: And Apple Bloom.
Twilight: They're upstairs in my room...
Apple Bloom: What brings you here, Big Sis?
Applejack: It's time to get back to Sweet Apple Acres, lil' sis.
Apple Bloom: But we're listening to Twilight's interesting story. I'm pretty sure you'll like it.
Applejack: But Big Macintosh and Granny Smith are starting to get a bit worried.
Sweetie Belle: What are you doing here, Rarity?
Rarity: I'm going to take you home, Why do you think I'm here?
Sweetie Belle: But we're listening to Twilight's interesting story.
Apple Bloom: That's what I just said.
Sweetie Belle: Oh.
Twilight: You sure you don't want to stay and hear my story, Rarity and Applejack?
Rarity: Why ever not?
Applejack: I guess we can stay, continue on with your story there, Twilight.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo: Yay!
Spike: Did I miss anything?
Apple Bloom: Eenope!
Sweetie Belle: We're just getting to the exciting part!
Scootaloo: I sure wish Rainbow Dash was here to hear about this, It's going to be awesome!
Rainbow Dash: [flies through Twilight's window] Did somepony say awesome?
Scootaloo: I did, your Pegasi highness. We're listening to Twilight's story.
Rainbow Dash: Alrighty then, Talk away!
Twilight: [blushes] Okay. [clears throat]
[continue flashback]
Twilight: Where I left off, I went to get Spike a comfy pillow for his head. I fluffed it up just to be sure. Then
Spike laid his head on the pillow and fell sound asleep. He was so cute just by looking at him sleeping.
Spike: I really did?
Sweetie Belle: Aww.
Twilight: That one wish I had cherished when I first saw Spike had just came true when he said "Mommy" in his
sleep. I started to cry, a lot. It was the most beautiful thing I've heard ever since. It took a full three and a half
days for him to finally say at leat one word. I had to just kiss his little forehead as a little reward from me.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie: D'AWWW!!!
Scootaloo: Ewwww--- I mean Awwww.
Twilight: After I kissed him, Fluttershy wished me good luck and went back home, then I went right to sleep,
Then the very next day, I peered over to see how Spike's doing and his height started to ascend 5 inches. It was
incredible. He looked like he was still a baby dragon. I decided to keep it and train it to be a nice dragon instead
of a full-grown rampaging dragon and destroy Equestria, I definitely didn't want that to happen. Spike wanted to
show me what he can do. He can write, and send letters to Princess Celestia. I didn't think it was possible but
Spike proved me wrong. I observed him doing so by writing "Dear Princess Celestia, I learned a valuable lesson
in friendship and that's staying close to friends that care about you and will always be there no matter what.
Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle." Then he blew on the paper and caught on fire and it went directly to
Princess Celestia. I praised Spike by saying it was very impressive. Then he received a letter from Princess
Celestia saying "Dear Twilight Sparkle, I'm very proud of you that you learned the most important lesson here in
Equestria, but what's more important is actually making lots of friends. But still, I'm very happy that you learned
a lesson. Sincerly, Princess Celestia." I am very impressed in Spike's ability to send and receive letters. It'll be
another moment I'll have to cherish. I'll spend a lot of time with Spike. He wanted to be my assistant for the
rest of his life, I kindly said yes. And then Spike was super happy and hugged me really tight. I started to cry
again, and so did Spike while he was still hugging me. We we're both happy and we went to experience the
wonders of Ponyville while we were at it. The real journey begins.
[end flashback]
Twilight: The end.
[applause]
Sweetie Belle: Aww, That was such a sweet story.
Applejack: [cries] It was so touching, and timely.
Rarity: [sniffles] That was the most cutest story I've ever heard from you, Twilight.
Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Pinkie Pie: [cries]
Rainbow Dash: [sniffles] Darn, Now you got me acting all sappy this time, Twilight.
Spike: That was an interesting story indeed and cute at the same time, Twilight.
Twilight: Thank you everypony. I can't believe I've never did anything like this before. It was pretty fun. Come to
think of it, I'm not even tired at all.
Rarity: I'm not tired either.
Applejack: Same here, partner.
Sweetie Belle: You read our minds, Twilight.
Apple Bloom: Eeyup!
Rainbow Dash: I'm with you all the way.
Scootaloo: Everypony has something in common at the moment.
Spike: Huh. What should we do now?
Pinkie Pie: I'm thinking slumber party!
Twilight: I was just thinking that as well.
Rainbow Dash: I think that sounds like fun!
Scootaloo: That's a great idea!
Sweetie Belle: I like this idea!
Applejack: I say "Let's get this party started in here!"
Twilight: Let's do it!
Twilight, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Sweetie Belle,and Pinkie Pie: Yay!
