My Little Pony: Friendship is Overpowered (Season 2)

S02E21 Dragon Quest

"Nothing!" Twilight threw down another book. "Nothing in this one either!"

"Nothing at all about dragons?" Spike buried his face in his claws. "This is getting ridiculous!"

"I know! It's hard to believe, but ponies know next to nothing about dragons." Twilight shook her head. "Apparently they're too rare and too scary to try to talk to or study."

Spike curled up into a little ball of misery. "I wonder if dragons cry..."

"Aw, Spike, don't forget – you have one more resource we haven't tried yet."

"Huh?"

Twilight grinned. "How about you send a letter to Princess Celestia?"

He jumped up. "Would she really do that for me?"

"Normally I wouldn't bother her about something like this." Twilight shrugged. "But we've definitely done due diligence in finding our own information, and we've come up completely dry. I think we're justified in asking her directly."

"Wow..." Spike stood there, blinking. "Okay."

* * *

Spike paced back and forth, back and forth through the library.

"Relax, Spike." Twilight patted him as he walked by yet again. "If she's taking longer in her reply, that probably just means she's gathering a lot of information. It'll be worth it."

"I know, I know..." Spike didn't stop pacing. "It's just that–" He did stop. His cheeks bulged out, and he burped out a huge plume of green smoke.

The smoke resolved itself into a huge scroll, then dropped to the floor.

Spike pounced on it, scanning through it voraciously.

Twilight grinned, watching him.

"Hmm... Mmhm. Yep. Oh... wow... Huh. That's cool." Finally reaching the end of the scroll, Spike wrapped it back up.

"So, Spike, what did you learn about being a dragon?" Twilight could hardly wait to find out all the new information.

Spike blew his flames over the scroll, burning it away into a pile of ash. "Private dragon stuff." He waddled away.

"Spike!" Twilight ran after him. "That's all! Really?"

"Yep. That's it."

Fat waddly smarmy bastard! I wanted to know what was on the scroll. ;-;

[StevieBond]

At least they're spared of a trip to the dragon volcano.

[Brony117]

I think I know what's in the scroll, spike is the Dovahkiin...DragonBorn!

[Tatsurou]

So basically Celestia gave him a whole bunch of information about dragons that was safe for him to know but dangerous in Twilight's hands? Okay.

[Greenhat]

5381981 I'd guess that it's Spike deciding not to tell Twilight to annoy her, not Celestia telling Spike not to tell Twilight to keep the world safe.

[silvadel]

You will keep reading this scroll... This scroll is a spell that will make you satisfied that you know all that you need to know about being a dragon... You will not let twilight read it... You will burn it when you are done... You will not bother me again about this...

[Neko Majin C]

The scroll said:

No dragons do not cry.
Only little pussies cry.
Do not be a pussy.
Be a stallion.

It was not very poetic.

Spike's real name is Jason.

What is your favorite type of rock?

KBO.

[BlueYoshi]

Gah! I wanted to know what was in the scroll! Spike, you clever bastard.

[ArchAngelGundam]

"That's all! Really?"
"Yep. That's it."

Somehow, I don't believe him. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.

Or it's something he's uncomfortable sharing with Twilight, who knows what sort of detail Celestia went into

[Awesomo3000]

I would've gone with Celestia frying Garble's ass and sending him to the moon for destroying that letter then convincing Spike to return home and telling Twilight and her friends to get out of that stupid costume. But yours is good too.

That's a natural response to thinking too much about time travel.

[Banana Prince]

I thought Twilight was going to pull out Dragonology from some overlooked shelf. Oh well.

Speaking of dragons, maybe the scroll was the same from Kung Fu Panda and Spike got the secret right away.

[Magos Xenos Disathairne]

In truth, Spike is Alduin.

Headcanon accepted.
