[There is a rustle of blankets and a half-snore-half-snort sound over the journals as one (1) baby dragon wakes up from his week-long sleep. The last thing he remembered was being at home, falling, and then he was going to...

He pauses, looking around. Okay. This isn't Equestria. This is Paradisa. And he's definitely not falling to his 'death' right now.

Oh, but then he remembers what happened here, what he did. He is in so much TROUBLE. He grabs his journal, not even noticing right away that it's almost empty]

Oh man, I am so sorry for what happened, guys. I didn't hurt anypony, did I? I'll do anything to make it up to you. And I'll fix anything I broke. And uh...I'll find all the stuff I took and I'll give it back, I swear.

I'm really, really, really sorry.

Comments

forever!

[huffythedragon]

[Oh hey, it's Twilight and she brought food. He casts her a sad, sad little dragon look]

I think I went home.

1/2

[checklist]

[ ....Don't confuse Twilight with castle shenanigans she doesn't know about. ]

Uh, in the five minutes I was gone?

[checklist]

[ Eh. You know what?

HUG TIME. ]

Well, I'm just glad you're awake now!

[huffythedragon]

What? No, people go home sometimes in their slee-

[Oh look it's hugging time. But, really, he NEEDS it this time, so he'll hug her back]

I'm really sorry for what I did here, Twilight. And what I did in Equestria, too. I shoulda listened to you.

[checklist]

Oh, Spike. I've already forgiven you. [ Just going to hug him some more. Nope, not letting go. ]

[huffythedragon]

[Sob all the hugs forever. It's so good to be hugging size and not, you know, MAULING size]

I didn't hurt anyone did I?

[checklist]

Of course not.

Don't worry, Spike. Nopony was hurt. And I made sure everypony got their things back.

[ Well, okay. Most of it. She assumes. Spike did wish for a lot of stuff, so it's hard to tell what actually belonged to somepony and what was the castle's... ]

[huffythedragon]

Thanks, Twilight, I knew I could count on you.

[Frowny frown frown] But what if it happens again? I mean, I won't stay a baby forever.

[checklist]

It'll be fine. Now that you know what happens, I'm sure you won't let it get like that again. Even when you are ready to grow up.

[ She nuzzles his cheek. ]

I have faith in you.

[huffythedragon]

Thanks, Twilight.

Maybe when I get home, I should ask the dragon in the Everfree Forest if he knows how to control it better. [Pause] Assuming he doesn't try to eat me first.

And I bet they have lots of books about dragons here.

[checklist]

[ Yeeeeah, she doesn't think seeing that other dragon is such a good idea. But better not to burst that bubble just yet, especially when it's not relevant right now. ]

Well, we can read all about dragons, if you'd like.

[huffythedragon]

[Yup, let him keep some HOPE for now]

Oh wow, that's right! All this time you won't have had anypony to read to you, you must have been going nuts.

[checklist]

Oh, that's all right. Staying with you and making sure that you were okay was much more important.

[huffythedragon]

Thanks for looking after me, Twilight. I'd really suck if a dragon slayer found me while I was sleeping.

[checklist]

Oh, Spike. Of course I'm going to look after you. You're my number one assistant, after all.

Buuut I don't think there are any "dragon slayers" around here for you to worry about. [....Right? ]

[huffythedragon]

I sure am, Twilight. None better!

I don't know, Gwaine said I have to watch out for them anyway, just in case one shows up.

[checklist]

And you're irreplaceable. [ Twilight nods as she pulls Spike in for a tighter hug. Awwww~ ]

...But who's Gwaine?

[huffythedragon]

[All the hugs in the WORLD] I know, sometimes it's hard to be as awesome as I am.

He's a human friend of mine, he's a real knight and hero, Twilight. He looked after me this time I was ponynapped...which I didn't tell you about, did I?

[checklist]

Ponynapped!?

How much trouble did you get into without me here!?

[huffythedragon]

Not all that much! That was the biggest thing, and I didn't get hurt at all. It was some residents on a lot of losses.

[checklist]

That's still a pretty big deal.

But why would somepony's loss make them ponynap?

[huffythedragon]

I wasn't scared or anything...

It made them think they were villains, it was pretty weird.

[checklist]

Is that what those "temporary" losses do?

[huffythedragon]

Yeah, they're really weird.

[checklist]

It... doesn't sound very pleasant for anypony involved.
