	Burst and the others had just made it back to the castle. But when they opened the door, it was completely dark. Until the lights were switched on. "SURPRISE!", Pinkie yelled!  The guys were shocked to say the least. "HAPPY WELCOME TO EQUESTRIA FROM THE HUMAN WORLD PARTY!" Burst and the others would have questioned how Pinkie knew they were from the human world, but they remembered who they were dealing with and decided to just enjoy the portal. As the party went on, Spike approached Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes.

"Excuse me? You're the dragon who beat-up Garble and his gang right?", Spike asked. Blue-Eyes nodded.

"That's me little dude. I'm a legendary dragon for a reason.", Blue-Eyes said with a smile.

"Wow! You two must have had huge hoards to get that strong!"

"Actually, we grew naturally.", Red-Eyes answered. "Dragons in our world do have hoards, but it's very rare. Plus, our natural growth makes their greed-growth pale in comparison."

"Wow. How come I haven't gotten strong like you?", Spike asked sadly. Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes knelt down to Spike's level.

"Trust me Spike. Red-Eyes and I didn't grow instantly. Growing naturally takes time. I can sense great power in you Spike. And I know that one day you'll become a great dragon."

"You've got tons of potential kid!", Red-Eyes said with a grin. "You might be small now, but dragon growth spurts are less frequent than ponies'. But when they happen, there's a great amount of change. One day, your head might hit the ceiling!" Spike laughed a bit at hearing this.

"The point is, things take time to happen. You just gotta be patient.", Blue-Eyes said with a smile. "One day, you could have strength to be called this world's legendary dragon."

"Take it from the dragons who represent power and potential Spike. You've got what it takes." Spike smiled at hearing this. "But most importantly, you've got good friends to help you grow too."

"Thanks you two. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a cupcake with my name on it!" Spike ran off to get his treat. Meanwhile, Twilight was chatting up a storm with Burst, Inferno, and Ice.

"This is so incredible! What other powers did you get from your bonds with your dragons?", she asked.

"Well besides enhanced strength and speed, our skin is like dragon scales. So that gives us an edge in durability.", Burst answered. "Also, our senses got quite the boost too. We can see, smell, and hear better too. But our favorite ability is that we can shoot blasts of energy and channel energy into certain parts of our bodies to increase the power of attacks. Also, we can sense magic and energy now." Twilight's eyes couldn't be any wider at that moment. "Uh...you alright Twilight?"

"I think she's just processing how awesome you guys are.", Rainbow Dash said with a smile. "Seriously. You guys ROCK! I don't know anypony who can take on a dragon!"

"Well, now you do.", Inferno said with a smile. At the same time, Ace was talking to Starlight about the portal.

"The portal should be all fixed-up now.", Starlight said with a smile. 

"Thanks for letting us know. But it'd be rude to leave before the party's over." Ace then turned to Sonata. "Isn't that right?"

"Uh huh!", Sonata beamed with a nod. "I wanna try Pinkie's cupcakes!"

"No arguing with that logic.", Ace said with a smile. And the party went on.
