**Twilight Sparkle**: Woo-hoo-hoo!**Spike**: Whoa! Ta-da!**Twilight Sparkle**: Okay, Spike. Now let's try a flip. Remember – two flaps, then straight up!**Spike**: Got it!- [flapping]
**Spike**: [grunts]- [splash]
**Spike**: [inhales]

- [flapping]
- [bump]
- [thud]

- [crash]
- [fwip]
- [thud]
**Twilight Sparkle**: You're doing great, Spike. Now let's see the big finish!**Spike**: [sighs]- [sloop!]
**Spike**: Whoa-oa-oa-oa!- [crash]
**Spike**: [grunts] I don't know about "big", but I am definitely finished.**Twilight Sparkle**: Maybe I should get Rainbow Dash. She's the one who taught me advanced flying techniques.**Spike**: No, thanks. If I'm gonna mess up, I'd rather do it in front of you. I just don't understand why none of your advice is helping.**Smolder**: Because she's teaching you to fly like a pony instead of a dragon.**Spike**: What's the difference?**Smolder**: Well, we don't have feathers, for starters.

**Spike**: Ye-he-he-hes!- [hoof-bump]
**Spike**: Wow! Thank you so much! How did you know I just needed to bend my wings?**Smolder**: Honestly, this is Dragon 101. Usually dragon parents teach this stuff.

- [knock, knock]
- [door opens]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Spike, I've been thinking about our flying lesson.**Spike**: Uh-huh...**Twilight Sparkle**: I can't believe I overlooked something as simple as feathers. It's no wonder you were having trouble. I wish I had more "dragonish" knowledge to give you. Do you think being raised by ponies has affected you in other ways? Spike?**Spike**: Did you say something, Twilight? Sorry. I'm just finishing up this "thank-you" throw pillow for Smolder. And you know how I get when I'm in the embroidery zone.**Twilight Sparkle**: [chuckles]

- [theme song]

**Spike**: It's a pillow! But not for your head. Although it could be. It's a throw pillow. They're more casual. You can use 'em anywhere. You don't like it.**Smolder**: Uh, it's not that. It's just dragons don't really use pillows. At all.**Spike**: What?**Smolder**: Hey, what's that?**Spike**: I don't know. But it's... heading right for us!- [crash!]
**Spike**: Okay. Now I really owe you for the lesson.**Sludge**: [groans, chuckles] Hey there, young dragons. [coughs] Name's Sludge. How are yours tails shakin'? [groans]**Spike**: You all right?**Smolder**: Yeah. What happened?**Sludge**: To what?- [thud]
**Sludge**: Oh. I don't need to explain myself to a couple of baby dragons. [groaning and whimpering]- [thud]
**Sludge**: Ow...**Spike**: Maybe not. But you're hurt and need help. So I'm taking you to Twilight's castle whether you like it or not?**Sludge**: Castle, eh? [groans]

**Twilight Sparkle**: I'm glad Spike brought you here, Sludge. I understand you made quite the impression in town.**Pinkie Pie**: Literally! There's a hole and everything!**Sludge**: Well, I hope you're not expecting me to fix it. [groans]**Applejack**: It doesn't look like you're in much shape to do anything.**Sludge**: I'll manage. Dragons take care of themselves. I don't need help from a bunch of castle-livin' ponies. [whimpers]**Rarity**: Darling, do be careful.**Sludge**: I'm... [groans] ...fine.- [thud]
**Fluttershy**: I can't watch!**Rainbow Dash**: You're not the first stubborn dragon we've met, you know?**Spike**: And sometimes, even dragons need help.**Twilight Sparkle**: I promise. My friends and I will only do enough to get you back on your claws.

**Sludge**: [sighs]- [crash!]

- [doors creak]

**Sludge**: [sniffs]- [clang!]
- [thud]
**Sludge**: [chewing noisily]**Mane Six**and**Spike**: [cheer]

**Sludge**: [chomp]**Twilight Sparkle**: I know you had your reservations, but it's good to see you feeling better.**Sludge**: T-Thanks, I guess.**Rarity**: That's what friends are for, darling.**Sludge**: You're pretty lucky to have friends like these, kid.**Spike**: Actually, I was orphaned as an egg, and Twilight raised me. So these ponies are more than my friends. They're my family.**Twilight Sparkle**: We try our best, but sometimes I worry that maybe Spike is...**Spike**: Missing something deep down and dragonish.**Sludge**: Really? Wow. I-I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that.**Applejack**: Why in Equestria would you be glad to hear that?**Sludge**: I wasn't gonna say anything since your life seemed so perfect, but I have a confession to make. Coming to Ponyville wasn't an accident. I was looking for you. Spike... [sighs] I'm your father.**Mane Six**: [gasp]**Pinkie Pie**: [continues gasping] Sorry.

**Twilight Sparkle**: So you crashed in Ponyville on purpose?**Sludge**: Well, the crash part wasn't on purpose, but heading here was. I've been searching everywhere for you, kid.**Spike**: Did you ask in the Crystal Empire? I'm kind of well-known there.**Pinkie Pie**: Actually, Spike's well-known everywhere. Not a lot of dragons were hatched by the Princess of Friendship.**Applejack**: Mm-hmm.**Sludge**: [choked up] You make it sound so simple. I wish you'd been there to help me search.

- [doors open]
**Spike**: I can't believe it. I have so many questions.**Sludge**: Well, ask away. Answering questions is what dads are for.**Spike**: I guess my biggest question is simple. Why was I an orphaned egg?**Sludge**: [stammers] You sure you don't want to ask something else? [choked up] It's a lot of painful memories. [sighs] Your mother was the best dragon I'd ever met.

**Sludge**: [voiceover] The Dragon Lord even picked her to scout for the Great Migration, and-and even though she just laid your egg, we knew she'd have to go. But finding the Migration route could take a lifetime, and you deserved a chance to know your mother. So I went looking for you, carrying your egg to places no dragon or pony has ever been. Past Mount Aris, the abandoned home of the Hippogriffs...

**Pinkie Pie**: Ooh! Did you visit Klugetown?**Sludge**: You've been to Klugetown?**Mane Six**: [various affirming]**Twilight Sparkle**: Also, the Hippogriffs returned to Mount Aris after we helped them defeat the Storm King.**Sludge**: Oh, well, have you heard of the Land of the... Scale Collectors?**Twilight Sparkle**: Uh-uh.**Sludge**: [to Spike] Because that's where your mother's trail finally led.

**Sludge**: [voiceover] To a prison world of dragon hunters, where I was forced to choose between surrendering myself or surrendering your egg.- [clang!]
**Sludge**: [voiceover, choked up] Of course, there was no way I was gonna sacrifice my boy. So they took me instead, and that's where I'd been ever since.

**Sludge**: Locked up somewhere not even the Princess of Friendship has heard of.**Spike**: Whoa... How did you know I was a boy?**Fluttershy**: Whatever happened to Spike's mom?**Rainbow Dash**: And how did the egg make it all the way back to Equestria by itself?**Pinkie Pie**: Hmm?**Sludge**: I wish I had all the answers. [crying]**Spike**: Well, that's all in the past. The only thing that matters now is that we're together. And I'm gonna make up for lost time.

**Spike**: I hope you don't mind, but I have a list of all the things I always wanted to do with my dad?**Sludge**: Mind? Spike, my boy, with you by my side, I feel like we could do anything. What do you want to do first?**Spike**: Well, I've kind of been working on a list for a long time.- [scroll unrolls]
**Sludge**: Dude, you want to do all of this?**Spike**: Oh. I mean, w-we don't have to.**Sludge**: If you think doing everything on this incredibly long list is gonna fill the hole where your dragonishness should be, then that is exactly what we're gonna do!**Spike**: [gasps]

- [montage music]
**Granny Smith**: [blows whistle]**Sludge**: [chomp, belches fire]**Pinkie Pie**: Woo-hoo!**Spike**: Oh, yeah!

- [wind whistling]

- [oven timer rings]
**Sludge**: [chewing noisily]

**Sludge**: [gulps]**Spike**: I can't believe we got so many things done. But this is all*my*stuff. Is there anything*you*always wanted to do with*me*?**Sludge**: Not really.- [beat]
**Sludge**: Uhhh, I mean, uh, I'm happy to do whatever you want. But if I had a castle like this with all this stuff, I'd probably just lay around all day doing nothing like a real dragon.**Spike**: Like a real dragon?**Sludge**: Sure! I'm not surprised you don't know any better. Twilight basically raised you as a pony. You're barely a dragon at all.**Spike**: Huh?

- [doors open]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Hey, Spike! How are things going with Sludge?**Spike**: Honestly, I thought having him around would make me feel more dragonish. But I kind of feel less.**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh, I'm sorry. I wish I could help.**Sludge**: Awww, shucks. [chewing noisily] I guess I shouldn't have said anything about you being more pony than dragon. I just wish we had more in common.**Twilight Sparkle**: Maybe you two can come up with ways to turn up Spike's, uh, dragonishness.**Spike**: You think that's something we can do?**Sludge**: You know what, son? I think it is!

Just Can't Be a Dragon Here

- [knocking on door]
- [door opens]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Spike? I just thought I'd check to see if you and Sludge had any luck turning up your dragonishness. It's hard not to feel like somehow I let you down all these years.**Sludge**: [grunting]**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to barge in on ya!**Sludge**: [grunts, sighs] Ah, don't worry about it.*Mi*castle*es su*castle.**Twilight Sparkle**: Right. Well, I'll just get out of your way.- [door closes]
- [squeak!]
- [splattering]
**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh! Spike! I'm so sorry. My morning is not going well. What is all this? Why'd you leave the castle so early?**Spike**: I didn't leave. I spent the night outdoors to get in touch with my dragon side.**Twilight Sparkle**: Outdoors?**Spike**: Yeah! And Sludge asked me to bring him the best breakfast Ponyville has to offer so he can show me how a real dragon would eat it. See you later!- [door closes]

- [doors open]
**Twilight Sparkle**: ...And that's why I thought we could use the map to—**Spike**: Hey, gang! Dad was just showing me how a real dragon would act in a throne room.**Sludge**: Dragons like to sprawl when they get their claws done. [blows] Now, if you'll all excuse me, it's time for my bath.**Spike**: [sighs] Isn't he the best?**Rarity**: I'm not sure that's exactly the word I would use.**Sludge**: Uh, Spike? The bath isn't gonna fill itself, son.**Spike**: Be right there... Dad.

**Twilight Sparkle**: I'm glad you're not spending the night outside again.**Spike**: Oh, I am. I'm just looking for a good bedtime story to read to my dad first.**Twilight Sparkle**: It's nice that you have somepony to show you dragon culture. But are you sure that's what Sludge is doing?**Spike**: What do you mean?**Twilight Sparkle**: Well, taking over your room, making a mess of things...**Spike**: [scoffs] That*is*dragon culture.**Twilight Sparkle**:*You*never acted like that.**Spike**: That's because*you*raised me. Now I finally have a chance to see how I'm supposed to be.**Twilight Sparkle**: I don't think you're supposed to be any different than who you are.**Spike**: Maybe you just don't like that I have a*real*parent now.- [cracking]
**Twilight Sparkle**: That's not true! I'm glad Sludge is here. I-I just wish he wasn't such a—**Spike**: Dragon? Of all ponies, I can't believe*you*would have a problem with that.**Twilight Sparkle**: [sighs]

- [splashing]
- [bushes rustling]
**Smolder**: What happened to you?**Spike**: Just sleeping outside like we're meant to. It's not like dragons are supposed to live in castles.**Smolder**: I... guess not. But I live in the school. Nothing says we*have*to live outside.**Spike**: [sighs] I'm so confused. It's been great having Sludge show me how to be a real dragon, but Twilight just doesn't get it.**Smolder**: What do you mean?**Spike**: She can't handle how good at being a dragon Sludge is. Maybe someday, I'll be able to lay around doing nothing as well as he does.**Smolder**: What?**Spike**: Well, not now, of course. I'm too busy bringing him pony stuff so he can show me what a dragon would do with it.**Smolder**: So, 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.**Spike**: Huh. Now I'm really confused.**Smolder**: Me, too. Why don't you tell me everything Sludge said about being a dragon?

- [door opens]
**Sludge**: [chewing noisily] Hey! What's going on, son?**Spike**: Twilight doesn't like having real dragons in the castle, so I told her we're moving out.**Sludge**: [coughs] You what?!**Smolder**: Spike! I found the perfect cave where you two can live! There aren't even any comfortable rocks inside!**Spike**: That does sound perfect!**Sludge**: No, it doesn't! I-I-I mean, uh, I'm not sure I fully demonstrated all the ways a dragon would live here.**Spike**: But we're not gonna live here anymore, so it doesn't matter.**Sludge**: It matters to me! [stammers] I want to make sure you have all the knowledge you need.**Spike**: But I do. Dad, you've already shared so much.- [singing] This bed is much too soft
- Just take that silk robe off
- We can't be dragons living here

**Sludge**and**Spike**: [straining]**Sludge**: Stop! I'm not your father!**Spike**: What?**Sludge**: I just said that to get in on this sweet castle life.**Spike**: So... you... pretended to be my dad?**Sludge**: Now-now-now-now-now, don't look at me like that, kid. I did what any dragon would do.**Smolder**: No. You didn't.**Sludge**: Hey. I saw an opportunity, and I took it.*That's*what dragons do.**Smolder**:*No*. It*isn't*.**Sludge**: You know what? I don't need this. I'm out of here! Enjoy lovin' pony town!**Spike**: [sighs]**Sludge**: I'm taking this pillow.**Spike**: I can't believe I thought somepony like that could show me how to be anything.**Smolder**: Uh... it must be hard growing up not really knowing who you are.**Spike**: That's the thing. I know exactly who I am. And how I got that way.

- [door opens]
**Spike**: Um, Twilight?**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh. Hi. Where's your father?**Spike**: He's gone. Turns out he wasn't what a real dragon should be after all. He also wasn't my real dad.**Twilight Sparkle**: Oh, Spike. I'm so sorry.**Spike**:*I'm*the one who's sorry. You were just worried about me, and I lost my temper. Sludge was just a great big phony.**Twilight Sparkle**: I have to say, I'm not surprised. There's no way a dragon like that was related to you. But if you still want to search for your real family, I'd understand if you spent more time in the Dragon Lands.**Spike**: I don't think so. I already know who my real family is.**Twilight Sparkle**: Aww! It's me, right?**Spike**: Mm-hmm! Besides, there's no way I'm living without pillows.
