	By the time Spike got home, he had given up on the idea of ignoring the puppies existence.  Actually, after carefully looking and touching the puppy, he fell in love with it.  But he had to be careful with it since Twilight will definitely tell something is wrong if he brought a BABY TIMBERWOLF back home.  That is until he saw his assistant, Mayor Mare.

“Hi Mayor Mare!” said Spike.

When she heard him, she turned to him and said “Hi SpiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKEEEEE!”  She did not expect to see him walking toward the castle with a Timberwolf.  In fact, almost everyone that saw him wanted to scream in fear but because they knew Spike wouldn’t just put them in danger out of nowhere, they held back all of their instincts.  Three of them didn’t make it.

“Spike, why do you have a Timberwolf.” asked Mayor Mare in a type of control terror.  P.S. She was doing a good job of controlling her fear.

“I went to Zecora to learn a few things and while testing something I made him.” said Spike.  “It’s actually a good thing I found you here. You don't mind taking care of him at your home, do you?” asked Spike making his best puppy dog eyes.  It was more effective than normal since the puppy was doing it too, except the puppy didn’t know why he had to do it.  “I promise he will be good and since he is made of wood, he won’t leave any nasty surprises so please…?  Or she, I don’t know the actual gender of my little puppy.  Best part is, it won’t smell bad.” ‘For now at least…’ though Spike secretly.

Mayor Mare had absolutely no idea what to do.  She wanted to say no because she was absolutely terrified of the Timberwolf but at the same time, the Timberwolf was acting a lot like Applejack’s dog, Winona.  She also knew that Spike has wanted a pet for a very long time but Twilight always said that Owlicious was all what they needed for a pet, even though he was exclusively Twilight’s pet.

“...Fine…?” answered Mayor Mare.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” said Spike.  “Now, Mayor Mare will take care of you while I find a room in the castle to hid you in or with Mayor, if Mayor actually ends up liking you.”  When he said that, Spike turned to look at Mayor Mare with a cheeky smile.  “So be good Timberwolf and do as Mayor says okay?  And don’t cause her any trouble.”

The puppy barked in agreement and ran to Mayor Mare.  It then licked her hooves in a playful manner.  Mayor Mare flinched at that after looking at puppy’s eyes, she felt bad for being scared of it.

“Does it have a name?” asked Mayor.

“At the moment no put I’ll tell you when I come up with one.” said Spike.

“Okay.  Common little… Timberwolf… I’ll take you to my home.  Just please don’t attack me or anyone please.” said Mayor Mare with a really nervous smile.  The puppy barked in agreement, not realizing that what the mare said was really bad.

“Thank you Mayor Mare.  I really wanted to keep him with me in the castle but I know Twilight won’t let me.  I’ll still go to see you my little puppy.” and with that, Spike left to the castle.
