Spike and Smolder sat on the roof of the castle, staring up at the sky. The sun was starting to set and they both watched the beautiful sunset.
“And Garble just started screaming!” Smolder said while throwing her hands up into the air, ending her story. Spike let out a loud laugh, clutching onto his sides. He wiped a tear away from his eye.
“I would’ve never guessed that Garble was afraid of butterflies.” Spike said in between laughter. Smolder leaned back and looked at the sky.
“For a tough dragon, it was a surprise to hear him scream like a little girl when a tiny butterfly landed on his nose.” Smolder stated.
“What’s it like living in the Dragonlands? I know it’s different from Equestria but how different?” Spike asked. Smolder thought for a moment.
“Well for starters the air isn’t as clean. It’s crisper and everything smells like smoke. There are no soft beds or pillows, just hard rock, lava, and fire to keep us warm.” Smolder listed off. She looked at a Spike who staring back at her. At the moment, she realized something.
“Your egg was found by ponies right?” She asked. Spike nodded his head.
“It’s a miracle that you survived, dragon eggs can’t last outside of the Dragonlands for more than a day. It’s too cold for a dragon egg if it doesn’t have lava. And it’s a far trip from The Dragonlands to Equestria.” Smolder stated. Spike tilted his head. That never occurred to him. According to Princess Celestia, his egg was found in a field by some guards. Spike snapped out of his daze when Smolder waved her hand in front of his face.
“Hello? You okay?” Smolder asked. Spike nodded his head.
“Yeah yeah I’m fine, I’m just gonna go take a nap. I’m pretty tired.” Spike said, stretching. Smolder nodded her head and got up.
“Well, I’ll see you later. Bye Spike.” Smolder said with a wave as she jumped off of the roof of the castle. She flew away and Spike thought out loud.
“How did I get to Equestria?” Spike asked himself as he flew off of the roof. He flew into a nearby window that led into a hallway in the castle. He walked down the hallway, lost in his thoughts. How did he get to Equestria? Who were his parents? Who left him in a field? How did he survive? His thoughts were cut off when he let out a yawn.
“I’m so tired,” Spike said, rubbing his eyes. He had stayed up late with Twilight to help her clean the castle for the fifth time the week. It was all exhausting. Spike entered his room and laid face first on his bed. He soon forgot about all of his worries and drifted off to sleep.
Everything was dark. Spike was curled up into a ball. He was in a tight space and his eyes were closed tightly. He felt cozy and safe.
“Hello my precious baby.” A female voice said. That voice. It made him feel happy in a way. He leaned towards the voice, only to tip over. The voice let out a gasp and quickly pick him up.
“You can’t do that, you’ll crack!” She exclaimed. She held him closely, starting to rock him back and forth. She spoke to him in a soft tone. She hummed to him as she continued to cradle his body.
“It looks like you’ll hatch any day now. Your father is going to be so happy.” She said happily. She kissed the top of the egg. Spike felt warmth wash over him. He felt so happy and peaceful.
“I love you my baby.”
Spike awoke in a fetal position with a smile on his face. He was spooning a pillow and he could feel the warmth drifting away from him. He sat up and looked out the window to see that it was still dark outside. He looked at the clock on the wall to see it was 2:36 in the morning. Spike curled back into a ball and closed his eyes, trying to drift back off to sleep. He tossed and turned, his mind sticking to the dream.
“Ugh, I’ll just get some water.” Spike said as he flung himself on to the floor. He stood up from the floor and walked out of his room. His mind raced with thoughts. He usually had odd dreams but this was even weirder. It felt more like a memory than a dream. He had dreamt about things that already happened but nothing like this. He looked around, realizing that he entered the library.
“I must’ve made a wrong turn.” Spike stated. He looked around the library and saw all of the books surrounding him.
“The library has to have some books on dreams and dragon eggs.” He said to himself when he walked towards a shelf. It wasn’t that hard to find any books since he knew how Twilights system works. Everything was sorted alphabetically and numerically. He pulled out a book on dragons and sat down on to the floor.
A little light reading never hurt anyone.
Twilight walked down the hallway, letting out a yawn. Her mane was messy and she wore a large black t-shirt that she had gotten from a DJPon3 concert. The sun shines from the windows, lighting up the castle beautifully.
“What a beautiful morning,” Twilight stated. Her ears perked up when she heard noise from the library. It must have been Starlight late night reading again and losing track of time. Twilight entered the library to see Spike laying on the floor, surrounded by books and scrolls. He let out a groan and tossed a book across the room.
“What are you doing?” Twilight asked, making Spike look up.
“I’m reading about dragon culture,” Spike said as he stood up and stretched. “Smolder told me that a dragon egg can die if it’s too far from The Dragonlands so I got curious and started to look stuff up about dragon eggs.” He rambled. He tended to ramble on when he was tired. “And then I had a weird dream so I sent a letter to Princess Luna but she couldn’t find anything on it so I also started reading about dreams and what they mean.” He finished.
“What have you found so far?” Twilight asked. Spike picked up a scroll that contained notes that he had taken.
“I found out that dragon eggs can’t withstand wind pressure or they’ll crack. I also found some things about siren eggs but that’s not important. Other than that, nothing.” Spike said, tossing the paper into the air. “Now I sorta wanna meet my parents, just so I can get answers.” He admitted.
“You can go to look for them if you want. Princess Celestia can take you to where those guards found your egg. You can start from there.” Twilight said with a smile. Spike stood up and hugged Twilight tightly.
“Thank you so much, I’ll pack my things right now.” Spike thanked. He let out a loud yawn.
“After a take a nap.”
