... and
Fluttershy's cottage happens to be nearby.
"But I don't wanna go! There's scary dragons out there..."
Watching Fluttershy being dragged by Rainbow Dash.
She's about to make a getaway!
"Come on Fluttershy, do you really want to miss out on a chance like this?"
Come on, Fluttershy, let's go!
Twilight Sparkle really doesn't want her dragon-fearing friend to miss this rare event.
For a frail pony, she sure is steadfast stuck to the door frame.
There must be a very good reason why Fluttershy cannot be encouraged into watching the dragons.
"I watched that boring butterfly migration with you."
"So now it's your turn to watch the dragon migration with me!"
Fluttershy's had enough of Rainbow Dash's whining.
When some fool tries to pull rank, be sure to kick flank!
... And Rainbow Dash gets defeated by Fluttershy.
Ready to break through the window!
Ready to escape through the open window.
Daaaaaaaaang... there goes Fluttershy.
Le gasp Twilight, as she watches a runaway Fluttershy. (We'll see you later, Fluttershy)
Rainbow Dash knocked for a loop
Out-raced by the nerd. Out-fought by the doormat. Just feed me to the dragons, will ya?
An egghead with magnified eyes!
Applejack looking through the binoculars
Wow, Dashie! You look really far away!
The confetti carpet: For when you really want to make an entrance
Rarity does look amazing.
Rarity's entrance is a fine example of Pomp & Circumstance.
Twilight looks a little freaked out.
"You look very nice, Rarity, but could you please look nice down here in the trench with the rest of us?"
"Nice is an understatement!"
"Who said camouflage has to be drab."
"Pfft, pretty lame move. Is that all they've got?"
Rainbow Dash getting burnt by a dragon.
"Still think they're so lame?"
"Not so much...the word "fierce" comes to mind."
Have a cupcake on the house, Pinkie.
"Yep, we dragons sure are a force to be reckoned with."
Spike, handing out sweets to the ponies.
Rainbow Dash laughing at Spike
"One tough stain for one lame dragon..."
"You leave him alone, Rainbow Dash!"
"Spike's style is unique."
Rarity and her "Spikey-Wikey"
Pretty cute scales, Spikey-Wikey
"You've got something those dreadfully fierce dragons can only dream of."
"The cutest widdle chubby cheeks! Ooooh!"
Rarity making Spike blush...awww!
Everypony smiles, while Spike blushes.
Then he waddled away (waddle waddle)...
"I hate to see him go, but I love to watch him leave."
Spike talking to himself about who is he and where he's from.
"I don't know!" Heh, that's a first.
Come on Twilight, I just wanna know who I am.
That doesn't tell me anything about who I am!
Twilight's looking a little concerned
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
I feel like I'm looking at a complete stranger!
Why don't we do some late-night research?
It's not like being sleep-deprived has ever had negative consequences before!
Late night dragon studying.
"This is getting ridiculous!"
"It's hard to believe, but ponies know next to nothing about dragons."
Here Spike, wipe those tears away.
No Twilight, I must find the answer!
Emotions are running deep here.
Rarity and Rainbow Dash arrive.
"Yeah, I need to get an early start if I'm going to join the Great Dragon Migration!"
Have sandvich, will travel!
"And I like to wear aprons."
"All I'm saying is that you could get hurt!"
Rarity agrees with Rainbow Dash.
" I don't want those big, ugly, nasty dragons to..."
"...hurt one little scale on your cutsey-wutsey head!"
"Stop him before it's too late!"
Hmmm. Are Spike and Rainbow having a tug-o-war?
"I still say you're nutty, but hey, I've done lots of nutty things."
We should let Spike do what he wants.
There goes a confident little dragon.
We're following him right?
I wonder if he knows we put a tracking chip on him...
...nor rain can stop this young dragon in his tracks.
Watching the Dragon Migration is better with a nice cup of tea
Surprisingly, not a dragon-sicle yet!
Who needs walking? I gotta sheep!
What is Cranky doing with Spike?
How long did Spike travel?
Little-known fact: In a past life, Spike was a professional hobo.
Say, doesn't that red dragon look familiar?
A group of teenage dragons playing together.
That dragon ate a pony! Oh, wait...
He would fly away, that is if he has any wings.
Or maybe you're a pony in a dragon costume.
But let's see how Spike does it.
Oh, what we got here? A letter from Princess Celestia.
"Ha! Get this, guys! Spike's pen-pals with a namby-pamby pony princess!"
Spike feeling a little embarrassed.
Let's just throw this letter away!
Oh, you gonna pay for this!
"How can he just throw that away!?"
"You can't worry about that now Twilight."
Talk about having something in your face.
That dragon has six eyes.
I think he's Crackle's cousin.
Crackle, the odd dragon who bears a strange resemblance to the ponies' costume
The Teenage Red Dragon, otherwise known as Garble.
What's wrong Spike? You afraid the lava will hurt your soft pony hide?
Spike walking down the hall of dragon tails.
Did those derps seriously just knight a dragon? *Sigh* teenagers...
"Spikey-Wikey is going..."
"To stay with these awful dragons."
Crackle's Cousin really is a poor flier!
"And you're ruining my fabulous costume!"
"We'll just have to hoof it!"
The majestic phoenix is known to stare at its mate for hours on end, right?
I think of the birds from Rio for some reason...
Phoenixes learn to mess with others from a young age
Phoenixes are best trolls
An egg with a hot rod paint job.
"Nopony touches our little Spikey-Wikey but us!...Wait..."
"Fighting's not my thing..."
If you don't back off, you'll see what us ponies do when confronted by a huge group of jerky dragons!
Spike with his true family.
