Story
Introduction
Oh my gosh... This dragon just crash-landed in front of me and Smolder while she was giving me flying lessons! I think he's hurt and needs help...!
I TOLD you baby dragons, I can take care of myself! I don't need help from a buncha castle-livin' ponies--! Ugh. Ow...
Ha! You're not the first stubborn dragon we've met... We can help get you back on your claws -- right, guys?
Yes, DO be careful, Darling! Here: The first thing you need is a sling for that injured arm -- fully customized and sewn with the finest silks, of course.
After 2nd quest
Well, Sludge, I know you had your reservations, but it's good to see you feeling better.
Th-Thanks, I guess... I never knew physical therapy could taste so good!
There's more where that came from! Come on down to the orchard, Sludge.
There ya go! Keep runnin' on that juice treadmill and we'll have enough juice to-- Uh, wait, don't DRINK it all! Well, I guess it IS pretty healthy...
After 3rd quest
Nice goin', Sludge! Would be cool if you, uh, actually flapped your wings when you fly, though. Those Wonderbolt recruits look a little tired of carrying you...
Uhhh, sure! Y-Yeah, I can try harder, no problem!
And afterwards, make sure you come take a nice, cozy nap in my cottage! I fluffed the pillows extra fluffy for you -- it'll make you feel better in no time.
"In no time," huh? *yaaawn* Yeah, well, we'll see about that. I mean, I DID get pretty banged up! I think I'll need a niiiiice long nap before I'm in good shape!
After 4th quest
*sigh* I GUESS I should be goin'. You're pretty lucky to have friends like these, little dragon.
Thanks! But these ponies are more than friends -- they're like family to me. I was orphaned as an egg, and Twilight raised me...
Orphaned? Uh... well, that's one heck of a coincidence! You see, I didn't just ACCIDENTALLY crash-land in Ponyville. I was, um, lookin' for YOU. Spike... I'm your father!
Wait, what...?! Look, I have a few questions--
D-Dad! I... I hope you don't mind, but I have a list of all the things I always wanted to do with you... Would you...? I mean, if you WANT to...
Well... if my son thinks doing everything on this incredibly long list is gonna fill the hole in his heart, then... let's start with Buckball! Anypony is welcome!
After 5th quest
H-Hold on! I just want to clear something up! Sludge -- you're saying you crashed here on purpose?!
There's no time for questions, Twilight! We gotta finish this list! What's next...?
Exchanging... Hearth's Warming presents? No idea what that is, but I'll figure it out for you, son!
After 6th quest
Hearth's Warming in the middle of summer was a big hit! Thanks for bringing the snow, Rainbow Dash!
Right, right, okay, what's next? We makin' a dent in this list at all?
Nope! But put on your apron, Sludge, 'cuz we're about to make a dent in your DIET!
After 7th quest
Phew! Whatta meal! Thanks, son, making all those cupcakes for your ol' dad was a GREAT idea! So, anything else you wanna do for me-- I mean, do together?
Well... I was thinking, maybe I could talk to you about something? The truth is, I don't feel very dragonish... And I was kinda hoping you could teach me about that stuff...
A-And I DO actually have some questions for you! Like, why WAS I orphaned as an egg? Do you think you could-- Uh, Dad...?
After 8th quest
Huhwhuh? Did you say somethin', uh, son? I just had to close my eyes for a bit after all those cupcakes. Say, could you point me to a comfier bed?
Oh, good! You're awake! Listen, Dad, I know we've done a lot of stuff I wanted to do... but is there anything YOU wanted to do with me?
Not really-- I-I mean, I'm happy to do whatever you want! Honestly, if I had a castle like this, I'd probably just lay around all day doin' nothing, like a real dragon!
After 9th quest
That's a pretty good idea, don't you think, Dad? I was hoping that having you around would make me feel more dragonish, but I feel kinda... less.
Well, you WERE raised by ponies, after all. Makes sense that you're more pony than dragon!
...
After 10th quest
Hey! I just finished organizing those!
Trust me, I got you covered here. You see all this soft pony stuff you're surrounded with? It's gotta be the first to go!
After 11th quest
"Each and every dragon has a swagger all his own. Watch, I'll show you what I mean! You can't move like THIS with so much stuff to weigh you down. A dragon always keeps it lean!"
Yep. Lose this, and this, and-- Ooh, this is nice!
S-So what do I do?
After 12th quest
Ha! You're right, I feel better already! I'm gonna go get you all the cushy pony stuff I've got, and really free myself up! Just you wait, Dad!
Great! Go get 'em... son! ('Cause THIS dragon just can't wait to take your place here... Heheheh...)
Spike, can I talk to you about Sludge? Are you sure he's REALLY trying to teach you about dragon culture? I mean he's... taking your stuff, making a mess... YOU never acted like that...
Ugh. That IS dragon culture, Twilight! I never acted like that because YOU raised me. You're just jealous now that I have a REAL parent, who shows me how I'm SUPPOSED to be!
After 13th quest
*yaaawn...* Whoa. Uh, hey, Spike. What are you doing out here so early in the morning?
Just... sleeping outside like we're meant to. Not like dragons are supposed to live in castles!
I... guess not. But, I mean, I live in a school. Nothing says we HAVE to live outside. Besides, you don't look like you really enjoy it...
After 14th quest
But now I can go back to giving Sludge all my stuff, so he can show me what a dragon would do with it! Maybe someday I'll be able to lay around doing nothing as well as he does...
Hold up. Sludge just lays around while you wait on him claw and tail? Uh... dragons are rude and rebellious, but they aren't lazy lumps who take advantage of their kids.
Huh. Now I'm really confused...
Me too. Why don't you tell me everything Sludge said about "being a dragon"?
After 15th quest
Spike? I just wanted to apologize for-- ... Spike? Huh. Where IS that little dragon? Could he have gone back to the castle?
Hey, Dad! Twilight doesn't like REAL dragons living in the castle, so I told her we're moving out.
*cough!* Wait, WHAT?
Ending
B-B-But I, uh, I'm not sure I FULLY demonstrated all the ways a dragon would live here in this luxurious castle!
It's okay, Dad. I already understand! "This bed is much too soft! Just take that silk robe off! We can't be dragons living heeeere!"
WAIT! STOP! I'm not your father! ... I just said that to get in on this sweet castle life! I did what any dragon would do!
You... You... pretended to be my dad...?
That's NOT what dragons do.
Spike! THERE you are! Listen, I'm so sorry, I didn't understand how hard it was for you, growing up not really knowing who you are... Wait, where's Sludge?
That big phony's long gone. He wasn't what a real dragon should be at all! ... I'll, uh, let you guys do some catching up.
Twilight, I'm so sorry. All this time you've been worried about me, trying to take care of me... *sigh* Sludge wasn't even my real dad.
Oh, Spike... I have to say, I'm not surprised. There's no WAY a dragon like that was related to you! But if you want to search for your real family, I'd understand.
I don't think so. I already know who my real family is. And besides, there's no way I'm living without pillows and comfy beds!
