(NEXT DAY)

Applejack and Pinkie Pie were digging while Twilight and Rainbow Dash went to get Fluttershy.

"Come on, Fluttershy. It will be fun." Twilight said as Rainbow was trying th push Fluttershy to the door.

"There's nothing fun about dragons. Scary, yes. Fun, no." She said as she released herself from Rainbow.

"But, Fluttershy, the great dragon migration happens only once in a generation. Do you really want to pass up a chance like that?" Twilight asked.

"Now that you put it that way, Yes!" Fluttershy said as Rainbow tried to push her pass the door, but she used her hoofs as grapples and didn't release the doorway.

"Oh, Fluttershy, we just don't want you to miss out." Twilight said.

"Miss out what? Dragons? Big, scary, fire-breathing dragons?" Fluttershy asked as she struggled against Rainbow.

"Well, yeah." Twilight said.

"Thanks, but no thanks." She said.

"Look, Fluttershy, I watched that boring butterfly migration with you." Rainbow said as she showed to her a photo to prove. "So now it's your turn to watch the dragon migration with me. You owe me." Rainbow said.

"I Said... NO!" Fluttershy shouted as she bumped Rainbow then opened a window and fleed from them.

"Okay. I guess I'll let you off the hook this time." Rainbow said as she and Twilight went back to the others.

(AT THE TRENCH)

They where using camouflages using binoculars to watch around. "I don't see any dragons." Fluttershy said.

"Me neither." Applejack said.

"Me neither, neither." Pinkie said as she was using the binocular inverted.

"Yo don't think we missed them, do you?" Rainbow asked.

"No. I don't think so. We're just a little early. And I'm glad we are. This way, we can watch every moment of the migration, without bringing any unwanted attention on us." Twilight said as they heard Rarity calling their attention loudly.

"Well?" She asked as a red carpet came to the base of the trench, exploding some confetti around. "What do you think? Am I the toast of the trench or what?" Rarity asked.

"You'll be toast, all right, when the dragons see you parading around in that getup." Applejack said.

"You look very nice, Rarity, but could you maybe look nice down here in the trench with us?" Twilight asked as she teleported Rarity to the trench and desappearing with the carpet and confetti.

"'Nice' is an understatement. I look fabulous! Who says camouflage has to be drab?" Rarity asked.

"Ahoy, mateys! Dragons roam!" Pinkie Pie warned them.

They grab the binoculars to watch as the dragons begin pass them, one of the dragons flied low and did a flip close to them.

"Amazing!" Twilight said.

"Pfft! Pretty lame move. Is that all they got?" Rainbow asked. Then one dragon headbutted another one, who fire flame to him but missed and hitting the trench, the girls hid before it minus Rainbow who got by surprised a flame on her face.

"What do you think of that move, Rainbow Dash? Still think they're lame?" Applejack asked smugly.

"Uh, not so much. The word 'fierce' comes to mind." Rainbow said as her hat was letting a little smoke from it.

"And 'Formidable'." Rarity said.

"And "Super-Duper scary'." Pinkie said, then Spike with a pink apron, put a cupcake on her hoof.

"Yeah. Us dragons are definitely a force to be reckoned with." He said, while giving Applejack a cookie.

Rainbow laughs, "Yeah, right, Spike! That's one of the scariest aprons I've ever seen!" She said as they begin laughing.

"What's wrong with wearing an apron? You won't be laughing when you spill blueberries all over your scales, uh, feathers. That's one tough stain." Spike said.

"One tough stain against one lame dragon." Rainbow laughs.

"You leave him alone, Rainbow Dash. Spike's style is unique. He doesn't have to look like other dragons." Rarity said.

"Or act like them." Twilight said.

"My little Spikey-wikey is perfect the way he is." Rarity said.

"I don't act like other dragons?" Spike asked.

"Oh, not even close." Pinkie said.

"Never heard of a dragon that act like a butler to a pony." Tails said.

"But why would you want to, Spike?" Applejack asked.

"Yes. You've got something those dreadfully fierce dragons can only dream of." Rarity said.

"What's that?" Spike asked, curious.

"Your cutest, wittle chubby cheeks." Rarity said.

"Cute?" Soike asked, blushing. "Dragons aren't supposed to be cute! Right?" Spike asked.

"Oh, sweetie, you are turning the most delightful shade of red. It is most becoming." Rarity said.

Spike glnace to them then growls and leaved the trench. "Oh, isn't he adorable when he waddles off in anger?" Rarity asked.

"'Waddle'?! UGH!" Spike said, going to the library.

(NIGHT TIME, WITH SPIKE)

"What am I? Where am I from? Who am I supposed to be?" Spike asked himself aloud.

"Ugh, I don't know! For the last time, Spike, you were given to me as an egg. I don't know who found you or where they found you." Twilight said.

"Seriously? That's all you know?" Spike turned to the other side of his bed.

"I'm sorry, Spike." Twilight said.

"That doesn't tell me anything about who I am. I need answers!" Spike said as he get up and went in front of the mirror. "I feel like I'm... I'm looking at a complete stranger." Spike said, looking down.

"Oh, Spike." Twilight get up form her bed. "Why don't we do some late-night research, see what we can find out?" Twilight asked as she lit on the lights.

"Really? You'd do that?" Spike asked.

"Of course. I'm sure we can find something." Twilight said.

(NEXT DAY, MORNING)

"Nothing." Twilight said, tired as she levitated another book to her. "Nothing in this one, neither." She said, throwning it to a pile and lavitating another one.

"Nothing at all about dragons? This is getting ridiculous!" Spike said, some taers escape his eyes.

"I know. It's hard to believe, but ponies know next to nothing about dragons. Apparently they're too rare and too scary to try to talk to or study." She said as she closed another book, then looked to him when she notice he was crying.

[Voice breaking] "I wonder if dragons cry." He said.

"Oh, Spike." Twilight went to him with a tissue to him, but refused and cleared his tears with his arm.

"It's okay, Twilight. I'm gonna discover who I am if it's the last thing I do!" Spike said as the door slammed open, scaring him as he jumped on the book pile.

"Good morning!" Rarity said.

"You want to join us for breakfast?" Rainbow asked.

"That souds great. I am famished." Twilight said.

"Count me out. I've got to get an early start." Spike said as he went to the door.

"An early start?" Rarity asked.

"Yes. I'm going on a quest of self-discovery. I need to learn what it means to be a dragon. And the only way I'm gonna do that is to join the dragon migration!" Spike said.

"WHAT?!" Twilight, Rarity and Rainbow asked.

"Spike, that's nonsense talk! I know that you're a dragon, but those dragons mean business." Rainbow said as Spike prepared his bag. "They're nig and tough and scary." Rainbow said.

"And I'm small and meek and I like to wear aprons. See? This is exactly why I need to spend time with them." Spike said.

"All I'm saying is that you could get hurt." Rainbow said.

"Darling, this time I really do have to agree with Rainbow Dash. I don't want those big, ugly, nasty dragons to hurt one little scale on your cutesy-wootsy head." Rarity said.

"I'm sorry, but I made up my mind." Spike pick up his bag and went to the door.

"Oh! Quick! Do something! Stop him before it's too late!" Rarity said, Rainbow dased to him and hold his bag.

"Hey! Give it back!" Spike said, struggling to push his bag.

"Hold it." Twilight said as she teleported the two from the bag, which it landed in her front. She then levitated the bag to Spike.

"Really?" Spike asked as he grab his bag.

"Don't tell me you think he should go!" Rainbow said.

"Yes, Spike. I couldn't answer your questions. My books couldn't, either. I understand why you want to look elsewhere. I truly believe you need to go on this quest. And we have no right to stop you." Twilight said the last part, glaring to the girls.

"I suppose not." Rarity said.

"I still say you're nutty, but, hey, I've done a lots of nutty things." Rainbow said.

"We know." They said.

"Well, then, I guess this is goodbye, Spike. We can't wait to hear about it when you return." Twilight said.

"Yeah. We hope your trip-", "Quest." Twilight corrected her. "...You quest answers some of your peasky 'who I am?' questios." Rainbow said.

"Thanks, everypony. I know it will." Spike leaved.

"Goodbye, Spikey-wikey!" Rarity said.

"Go get 'em, big guy!" Rainbow said.

"We have faith in you!" Twilight said.

"We're following him, right?" Rarity whispered.

"Of course." Twilight said.

"Follow who?" Tails asked.

"Spike. He went on a quest of self-discover on the dragon migration." Rainbow said.

"Really?" Tails asked.

"Yes. And we will be going right now, so we won't lose his trail." Twilight said.

"Wait." Tails said as he went to the basement. The girls looked to each other confused. He then come back with some comunicators he made. "Here. Use them if you got in trouble, and I and the others will appear in seconds." He said.

"But how will you and the others come to us if we need if the dragons would probably be far way?" Rarity asked.

"Did you forgot?" Tails asked as he pointed to his horn. "I've praticated teleporting things and ponies some days before, and I can locate the comunicators really fast so it will be easy." He said, confidently.

"Okay, wish us luck!" Rainbow said as she went to the door.

"Good luck!" Tails said as he kissed Twilight's cheek. "And be safe." He said.

"T-thanks." Twilight said, blushing then followed Rainbow and Rarity outside.

[sighs] "Well, this books won't organize by themselfs." He said as he cleaned the mess they did.

(WITH SPIKE, IN THREE DAYS)

Spike looked to the sky and saw the dragons migration, he continued through strong winds, storms, then stop in a hill for lunch, but as he was drinking his tea, he glanced to the dragons, some who where headbutting each other, Spike looked to his tea then thrown it to the ground, then continued. He climbed a mountain against a lot of snow, then climb down with a hot sun on the sky, then went on a raft through a river with a donkey, then finally arrived where it looked like three volcanos where the dragons landed.

Spike the climb the volcano, he then saw a lot of big dragons, one even breathed fire in Spike's direction, that he got down before he was toasted. He heard some teenager's dragons having fun on the botton, "All right. Teenage dragons. Now, that's more my speed – and size." Spike said as he climb down and went to meet them. Then a dragon costume with Twilight, Rarity and Rainbow inside it came on the border where Spike was, "I'm telling you, we'll never pass for a real dragon." Rainbow said, not convinced.

"Oh, please. This costume is fabulous, one of my finer creations!" Rarity said.

"Shh! We'll never pass if they heard three voices coming out of one dragon. Now, come on. Let's go." Twilight said as they climb down.

The dragons where on a circle with two of them wrestling, "Um, excuse me?" Spike got they attention. "Uh, hi. I'm Spike." He introduced himself.

A purple with a blond hair came to him. "You sure your name is Spike and not shrimp?" He asked as they all laughed.

"No. It's Spike! I-I mean, I'm sure about that." Spike said.

"You look more like pee-wee to me." A brow dragon with a deep voice said, poking him. They laughed again then a red one came, "Hey, guys. Come on. Seriously. Leave him alone or he might fly away. That is, uh, if he had any wings." He said, lifting Spike to show then drop him while they laughed.

"You flying on your mommy's back during the migration?" The brow one asked.

"Not exactly." Spike said.

"No, no. Can't you see baby Spike just hatched? I bet he still sucks his claw at night." The purple one said.

"No, I haven't sucked my claw in months!" Spike tried to negate it, but he just manage them to laugh at him again.

"Well, if you weren't just hatched, how come we haven't see you around before?" The red one asked him.

"Oh, well, you see, I live in Ponyville, and – and I'm –." He was interrupted.

"Ponyville?[laughing] That explains it! I knew there was something vaguely ponyish about you. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were part pony." He said.

"Who? Me? I'm not part pony. I'm all dragon, see?" Spike then tried to roar.

"Or maybe you're a pony in a dragon costume." They laughed.

[laughing] "A pony in a dragon costume!" The purple one laughed as he looked to the dragon costume with the girls inside.

[Nervous chuckle] "[deep voice] Yeah. Hilarious." Twilight said.

"I am a real dragon!" Spike insisted.

"Oh, yeah? Prove it." The red one demanded.

"Well, how?" Spike asked.

"By acting like one. Who's up for a little belching contest?" He asked to the others, wo cheered as some adult dragons turned to them.

A white dragon then burped a medium blue flame. Then the purple one came and burped a green flame, a little longer than the white. Then the brow one burped a flame so long that burned the eyelashes of the costume.

[cheering] "You think you could beat that, pee-wee?" The red dragon asked Spike.

Spike then went to their side and prepared to force a belch but burped a letter from Celestia accidentally.

"Huh?" The red dragon pick up and begin reading. "From the desk of Princess Celestia. Dear Spike, please warn Twi—[chuckles] Get this, guys! Spike's pen pal's with a namby-pamby pony princess!" They begin laughing again, then the red one crumpled the letter then thrown it at the lava.

[gasps] "[normal voice] How can he just thrown that away? That letter could be something important." Twilight said.

"We can't worry about that now, Twilight. We're here to help Spike." Rainbow remind her.

"I know. I know. That's no reason to disrespect princess Celestia that way." Twilight said.

(IN CANTERLOT)

"What we do now, sister?" Luna asked as Celestia carried a little blue pegasus on her back.

"I... Don't know for certain. I can't risk another spell as the previous one just got the situation worse." Celestia said as she looked to the cub.

"Where he will be until we fix the situation, then?" Luna asked.

"We can call the servants to clean a room for him." Celestia suggested.

"That sounds good." Luna said as the cub wake up.

[Yawns] He looked to them "...Uh,hi." He said, timidly.

"Hello, Sonic. How you feeling?" Celestia asked.

"Huh? Who?" Sonic asked.

"It's your name. Do you remember anything at all?" Luna asked.

"Uh, are you my... Aunt?" He asked, confused.

"You could said that." Celestia said.

Suddently his stomach growled. "You hungry?" Celestia asked.

He nodded, blushing.

"Well, then let's go th the kitchen. I will make a lunch for us. You coming, sister?" Celestia asked.

"Sure, why not." Luna said, following them.

(WITH SPIKE, LATE AFTERNOON)

The red dragon went to the florest beside the volcano to find a phoenix nest with the purple dragon and the brow one with Spike. They found one then hidded behind a bush.

"All right, Spike. Since you're our rookie dragon, you get to lure the parents away from the nest." The red one said.

[Nervous chuckle] "Lucky me." Spike said.

"Well, go on, then." He said, pushing Spike off the bush.

"Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Phoenix! I was hoping I could have a word with you!" Spike tried to get their attention but they just ignored him. "Um, I'd, um, like to ask you some questions, actually!" Spike tried again but didn't work.

"We haven't got all day, Spike." The red one said, giving Spike a rock.

"Hey, you bird-brains, come and get me!" Spike shouted as he throwned the rock and hitted on of them. They growled at him then flied after Spike who dashed in a random direction.

The dragons took the opportunity then flied to the nest, "What the?" They saw that the eggs already hatched.

"The eggs have hatched." The purple one said.

"What we do now?" The brow one asked.

"We take the hatchlings, of course." The red one said as he tried to catch them, but the hatchlings just keep dodging his claws until he got tangled up. They fleed from them as the dragons helped the red one up. "Get them!" He ordened them, but when he decoled, he make the nest unstable and a phoenix egg fall from it.

The dragon didn't notice the egg landing safelly on the ground in the tree base, Spike was still running from the phoenix who heard the comotion from the nest and instantly let Spike alone to protect their hatchlings as he tripped on a rock. One of the phoenix flied high and used his flames to blind the dragons, making them slam in a tree. Which gave them time enough to flled from the area.

"Ugh! They got away! I hate that." He said as the tree fall, hittiing them again.

Spike then went back to the next and found the egg. "Well, what have we got here?" Spike pick up the egg. Then the dragons land on his front. "What happened?" Spike asked them.

"They got away!" The red one said, angry. Then he noticed Spike holding a egg. "Hey. You stole an egg?" He asked.

"Uh..."

"Well, I guess the raid wasn't a total waste after all." He said as the other two cheered. "Nice going, Spike."

"Well, what are you waiting for, Spike? Smash it!" The brow one said.

"Smash the egg?" Spike asked.

"Yeah! Thown ot on the ground as hard as you can!" The purple one said, then they all begin repeating to Spike to smash it.

Spike lifted it above his head to thrown it, but then bring the egg close to him, protecting it from them. "No! It's just a defenselles egg, like I was! And I'm not gona let you hurt it!" Spike said.

"What did you say?" The red one asked, glaring at him.

"I said 'No'." Spike repeated.

"No one says 'no' to me." He said, getting close to him. Spike then bumped on the dragon costume the girls where. They removed it and got on a fighting stance.

"Nopony's gonna lay a claw on him!" Rainbow Dash said.

"That's right!" Twilight said.

"Fighting's not really my thing. I''m more into fashion. But I'll rip you to pieces if you touch one scale on his cute, little head!" Rarity said the last part ferously.

They just laughed, the girls looked at each other. "Ooh, scary. [chuckles] Spike, are these namby-pamby ponies your friends?" The red one asked.

"Yes, they are. And they're better friends than you could ever be. Now, if you don't back off, you'll see what us ponies do when confronted by a huge group of jerky dragons!" Spike said.

"Oh, yeah? [growls] What's that?" He asked.

"Run away!" Spike shouted as he dashed from them, the girls following behind.

[Growls] They chased then through the forest. "Twilight, call Tails. Now!" Rainbow said as Twilight turned on the comunicator.

"Tails! We need help! NOW!" Twilight shouted on the device, then a portal opened in front of them, closing after they cross it, making the dragons slam their heads on another tree.

(AT THE LIBRARY, NIGHT TIME)

Tails then looked from his tablet to the room and concentrated. Then a portal appeared on the room and Spike and the girls pass running it, Twilight slammed on the wall as she didn't have time to stop running.

"Hey, you guys okay?" Tails asked as he help Twilight get up.

"You made that portal?" Twilight asked as she rubbed her head.

"Yup. I found your spell book yesterday, and I have been praticing all day." He said.

"Well, thanks. We own you." Rainbow said, then went to the door. "Twilight, can you send a letter to Celestia asking if she can resend that letter the dragon burned?" Rarity asked.

"Oh, That's right!" Twilight then went to write it.

"Well, when you receive it, tell me tomorrow about it." Rainbow leaved.

"Yeah, all that running let me exausted, goodnight guys." Rarity leaved too.

"Hey Spike, what's that egg you has?" Tails asked.

"It's a phoenix egg I saved." Spike said.

"Cool. Come on, Twilight. Let me see you head." Tails said as she stop rubbing her head.

"Doesn't look serious, soory for let the portal too close to the wall." Tails said, hugging her.

"It's okay. What matters is that you saved us." Twilight said, he smiled.

"I will let you love birds alone while I take care of this egg." Spike went to Twilight's room.

"So, you plan to tell me the adventure you four had, hm?" Tails asked.

"Sure. We followed Spike to a volcano..." She begin telling him their little adventure.

(IN CANTERLOT, NIGHT TIME)

"Sonic, it's your bed time." Celestia said as she let him into a room the servents had cleaned two hours before.

"So this my room?" He asked.

"Yes. And my's and Luna's rooms is down the hallway." She said.

He climbed the bed, then looked at her. "Goodnight, aunt Celestia!" He said.

"Goodnight, Sonic." She kissed his forehead, then turned off the lights and closed the door.

"Why did you said we were his aunts?" Luna asked as Celestia exited the room.

"He was turned into a kid, and I couldn't say that he possibly doesn't has a family member around, that we know at least." Celestia said.

"But we'll still try to find another spell?" Luna asked.

"Yes. I don't want to risk that spell I found before, it can make the situation ever more worse then now." She said.

"I see. Well goodnight, sister." Luna entered her room.

'Hope you don't get mad when you return to normal.' Celestia through, looking to Sonic's room, then she went to her room.
