Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

I've talked about my issues with Garble the dragon a couple of times by now, so it's no surprise that I wasn't too happy about meeting up with the guy again. But, it seemed that I had no choice this time, as he turned out to be Smolder's brother! Yeah, I know, I wasn't expecting that either, but hey, that's how it went. I'd never have thought that somecreature as nice as Smolder could be related to a bully like Garble. Although, I guess I shouldn't really call him that anymore since he and I actually managed to patch things up. Yeah, you heard right, we actually buried the hatchet today. Though it didn't come without a few bad times first.

Seems some of the other dragons, idiots that they are, decided to have some fun with the local lava, and this made the hatching grounds really cold for all the eggs that were supposed to hatch today. Ember was really mad, and it looked like we weren't going to be able to do anything about it. But then, in came Garble with his, and I swear I'm not kidding here, poetry. He got the dragons to laugh so hard that they heated the eggs to hatching. Finally, I'm no longer the only baby dragon around! And that made Fluttershy really happy, I can tell you. But yeah, things turned out pretty well for Garble, all things considered. And with luck, this'll be the last time other dragons are a chore to be around.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to convince Fluttershy that she can't take all of those baby dragons home with her. May Celestia have mercy on my soul.
