[huffythedragon]

[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.

[ Guess who's coming back in the room now, carrying a daffodil sandwich with her magic?

Yup. Figures the second she leaves to get food, he wakes up.

She drops that sandwich like immediately when she sees him awake. ]

Spike! You're awake!

[ Not only can she state the obvious, but she's obviously very happy in doing so. ]

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.

[ ....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!

[3_butterflies]

Oh, Spike... everything will be all right.

[modernholmes]

Hello, Spike.

[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.

forever!

[huffythedragon]

But Fluttershy, I scared you.

[Said as if this is the WORST CRIME KNOWN TO ALL PONY KIND]

[3_butterflies]

I know you didn't mean it. And I made sure to tell people that wasn't really you... that you're a nice, kind, good baby dragon.

[huffythedragon]

OH uh...Conan. I...uh think your books are here somewhere. [Somewhere in the GIANT PILE OF BOOKS that always accumulates wherever Twilight goes] I promise I'll find them.

[checklist]

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

[wilder]

Wait.

You were that dragon thing?

[modernholmes]

I already found a few with your friend's help.

More to the point, what was all of that about?

[huffythedragon]

Did anyone else get really scared or hurt? [Yup, too worried right now to even wallow in praise]

[huffythedragon]

Oh, good, I'm glad.

It's a dragon thing I didn't know about until it was too late. Apparently we grow when we get more things, and get more greedy in the process. It won't be happening again.

[3_butterflies]

A few people got scared, but no one was hurt.

[huffythedragon]

Uh huh, I had a growth spurt. I'm normal again now.

You were the jewel guy, right?

[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?

[wilder]

[So it was the pink dog's lackey...did that mutt have a hand in this?]

[Eh, too indirect for that monster]

Yep, that was me alright.

[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.

[huffythedragon]

Oh good. I really wouldn't want anypony to be hurt because of me.

[huffythedragon]

[Oh yeah, Courage is the ringleader for ALL EVIL]

Did you get your gem back yet? I can...uh try to find it for you otherwise.

[3_butterflies]

Everypony will forgive you, and soon, things will be back to normal.

[... as normal as paradisa gets, anyway.]

[wilder]

Yeah, your unicorn friend found it while you were out. Good thing too, most seemed to think you ate it.
