			Diamond Tiara arrived at Twilight's castle at 3:00 in the morning, she went into Spike's room and woke him up. "Psst, Spike, are you up?", she asked. "I came here to make something up to you."

Spike woke up and moaned at the pink pony. "Why can't we do it later?", he asked. "It's 3:00 in the morning."

"I came here to help you find the creature who killed your parents.", Diamond Tiara said. "Twilight told me you were wondering where you were from, and figured I'd help you with that."

Spike was surprised. "Twilight told you what's been happening me since my real family was dead?", he asked. "I thought I told her to keep it personal."

"Where are dragons from?", Diamond Tiara asked.

"I traveled to a land full of dragons.", Spike said. "I traveled for days until I found a mountain full of mean and devilish dragons."

"Will you take me to that mountain?", Diamond Tiara asked. "I want to know what those dragons look like."

"But, first, I need to figure out who killed my parents.", Spike said. "I don't want to risk go there or else we'll lead them into Ponyville and everypony will be in dead meat."

"That could be a good point.", Diamond Tiara said. "Shall we do this?"

Spike nodded. "Whoever that murderer is, I think I deserve a little payback.", he said in a fierce tone. "Oh, and before we go, I need to write a note to Twilight and leave it by her door so she'll know." He got his piece of paper and quill and began writing. Once he was finished, he went over to Twilight's door and left the note there. "Sorry, Twilight, I'll be gone for a while.", he whispered.

They headed out the front door. Spike was thinking that Diamond Tiara should do the same. "Don't you think you should let your family know to?", he asked. "I don't want your family to worry."

"No time, we have to get going.", Diamond Tiara said. "They just won't understand."

Off they went into their journey. They traveled land by land, and they felt really thirsty. Diamond Tiara didn't that much energy to walk when she's thirsty, she tilted, landed on her back, and she was out like a light. 

Spike went over to the filly's body and prodded her chest, he's trying to wake her up. He lowered to her ear on all four of his limbs. "Hey.", he whispered.

Diamond Tiara opened her eyes and looked over at the small dragon. "What is it?", she asked.

"I think we made it to the right track.", Spike said. He found a dragon nest under a tree. He ran over to it and found a purple scale. He took a look at it to see if it's like his, he licked it and examined it. "This is my mother's scale.", he said.

"How do you know?", Diamond Tiara asked. "You weren't even born back then."

"I've tasted my scales before, this is what my mother tastes like.", Spike said. He turned and found two skeleton bodies that looked like dragons, they were his parents. He touched the head of his mother and tears ran down his face with sadness. He collapsed on his knees and sobbed.

Diamond Tiara wanted to comfort Spike, but she didn't know what to do.

Spike sniffed the skeletons and smelt the evidence of who the murderer is. "I think I know who the murderer is.", he said. 

"Who is it?", Diamond Tiara asked. 

"Garble.", Spike answered. 

"Who?", Diamond Tiara asked.

"Garble, he's one who killed my parents!", Spike said with anger. "I shall have his heart cracked!" He grabbed wood and made it into a spear.

"Spike, what's going on?", Diamond Tiara asked with concern.

"I shall end his life once and for all, with the help of Spike.", Spike said with confidence. "We shall go up to that mountain now."
