"Whee!" chimed Flurry Heart as she used her oversized wings to gain enough lift to bring Spike off the ground, move him forward, and then drop him on his draconic behind.
"Oof," he gasped with each landing upon the ground. "Please stop."
The powder-pink, baby Alicorn giggled as Spike's voice vibrated with each lift-and-bounce she got him to do. "Funny!"
"Ungh," groaned Spike after being dropped again. "I think I'm getting sick."
***
Spike didn't want to hurt Flurry Heart by gripping her so tightly her newborn body would incur injury. After all, as twilight instructed him, babies aren't like kids and adults. You have to handle them carefully so you don't accidentally injure their newly forming skin, fur, and bones.
"Maybe...?" thought Spike as he turned his arms as if to steer the fluttering foal.
The purple dragon was elated to notice his gentle movements of his arms managed to allow him to get Flurry Heart to bounce him in the direction he'd prefer to go. So he figured the best place would be back to her nursery where everything was soft and padded.
"Ooof-oof,"groaned Spike as he felt his rump starting to grow numb from all the pounding it had done upon the floor. "Almost there!"
The two entered into Flurry Heart's room where Spike guided her towards her crib. Once over it, he let go of the energetic Alicorn and let out a sigh of relief as she plopped herself down into her cushioned mattress.
"Woo-woo!" cheered Flurry Heart as she clapped her little hooves together. "Fun!"
Spike took the chance to grab one of the many pillows in the room so he could have something soft against his sore bottom.
"Hmm," he thought. "Perhaps this would be a good time for 'Peek-a-Boo'?"
Flurry Heart was still rocking, giggling, and clapping when her eyes caught notice of Spike using a sheet to cover himself.
"Where's Spike!" he called out from under the blanket. He then paused to listen to Flurry Heart babble with thought before pulling the blanket off and stating, "Here I am!"
"Yay!" she squeaked while bounding about her crib.

Spike continued to play 'Peek-a-Boo' until Flurry Heart decided she should play it, too.
"Where?" she ask while giggling under a plush, pink blanket that was covered in purple hearts and stars.
"Oh, no," Spike pretended. "Where did Flurry Heart go?"
The emerald-eyed dragon snuck up to the crib until Flurry Heart tossed the blanket off of herself and proclaimed, "HERE!"
"Whoa," amused Spike. "How did you do that?"
The Alicorn grew a very big smile as her oversized horn on her head began to glow.
"Uh, oh," panicked Spike. He knew that newborn magic was always very random and could do just about anything.
SHING
"Whoah!" cried Spike as he was suddenly lifted off the ground. The next thing he knew he was being spun around-and-around in a ball as Flurry Heart roared with laughter.
"Whoa-oh-oh!" said Spike as he felt himself growing ill from the speed in which he was being spun. "I'm going to-"
BURP!
Spike unleashed a torrent of fire breath that started from his left, was at its fullest when he was facing the ceiling, and ended with leaving a small burn in the cushioned carpet.
"Oof!" he gasped while the magical hold on him was released and he was dropped flat on his back upon the floor.
Flurry Heart was now laughing so hard that all Spike could see was her back legs kicking as she laughed herself silly.
"Well," he said. "At least she's happy."
