- Rainbow Dash: C'mon, Fluttershy, it'll be fun!
- Fluttershy: [being dragged by Rainbow across the floor] There's nothing fun about dragons! Scary, yes. Fun, no!
- Twilight Sparkle: [Rainbow continues to force Fluttershy in one direction after she tries to run away] But Fluttershy, the great dragon migration happens only once in a generation. Do you really wanna pass up a chance like that?
- Fluttershy: [resisting being pushed out the door] Now that you put it that way, yes!
- Twilight Sparkle: [teleports outside] Aw Fluttershy, we just don't want you to miss out.
- Fluttershy: Miss out on what? Dragons? Big, scaly, fire-breathing dragons?
- Twilight Sparkle: Well... yeah!
- Fluttershy: Thanks, but... no thanks!
- Rainbow Dash: [stops pushing] Look, Fluttershy, I watched that boring butterfly migration with you
- [shows Fluttershy a photo of the event]
- Rainbow Dash: , so now it's your turn to watch the dragon migration with me! You owe me!
- Fluttershy: I said... *no*!
- [she dashes in the other direction through her house, pushing Rainbow down and stomping on her chest]
- Rainbow Dash: Yeaagh! Ugh!
- Twilight Sparkle: [gasps]
- Fluttershy: [high pitched growling; whimpers; she opens a window and runs away]
- Rainbow Dash: [lying dazed on the floor] Okay, I guess I'll let you off the hook this time.
- Rainbow Dash: I still say you're nutty, but hey, I've done *lots* of nutty things.
- Rarity, Spike, Twilight Sparkle: We know.
- Rarity: Goodbye, Spikey-wikey!
- Rainbow Dash: Go get 'em, big guy!
- Twilight Sparkle: We have faith in you!
- Rarity: [through her grin] We're following him, right?
- Twilight Sparkle: [through her grin] Of course.
- Rarity: [making a flourishing entrance to the dragon-watching trench the other girls have made, dressed in elaborate "camo" gear] What do you think? Am I the toast of the trench or what?
- Applejack: [hushed] You'll be toast alright, when the dragons see you parading around in that getup.
- Twilight Sparkle: [hushed] You look very nice, Rarity, but could you maybe look nice down here in the trench with us?
- [she magically dispels the confetti]
- Rarity: Nice is an understatement. I look *fabulous*! Who says camouflage has to be drab?
- Rainbow Dash: [in awe of a dragon flying a loop, Rainbow quickly pretends to not be impressed] Pfft, pretty lame move. Is that all they've got?
- [dragon roaring, a midair attack, and a jet of fire blasts over the ponies' heads]
- Applejack: [hushed] What do ya think of that "move", Rainbow Dash? Still think they're lame?
- Rainbow Dash: [hushed] Uh, not so much. The word "fierce" comes to mind.
- Spike: [regarding breakfast] Count me out. I've gotta get an early start!
- Rarity: An early start?
- Spike: Yes! I'm going on a quest of self-discovery! I'm going to learn what it means to be a dragon! And the only way I'm gonna do that is to join the Dragon Migration!
- Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash: What?
- Spike: Um, excuse me? Uh, hi. I'm Spike.
- Purple Teenage Dragon: You sure your name is Spike and not *Shrimp*?
- [dragons laughing]
- Spike: No, it's Spike! I'm not, I mean, I'm sure about that...
- Brown Teenage Dragon: You look more like Peewee to me.
- [dragons laughing]
- Garble: Hey guys, c'mon, seriously. Leave him alone, or he might fly away.
- [goes over to Spike and picks him up by his tail]
- Garble: That is, uh, if he had any wings!
- [dragons laughing]
- Spike: Who, me? I'm not part pony! I'm all dragon, see? Raar!
- Garble: Or maybe you're a pony in a *dragon costume*.
- [dragons laughing]
- Purple Teenage Dragon: [confiding with the dragon costume that Twilight, Rainbow, and Rarity are wearing without really looking at them] A pony in a dragon costume...!
- [laughs]
- Twilight Sparkle: [deep voice, in the costume's head] Aheh... yeah... hilarious.
- Garble: [Twilight, Rainbow, and Rarity have just stepped up to challenge Spike to a tail wrestle, as the dragon costume they're wearing] Who's this weirdo?
- Purple Teenage Dragon: I think he's Crackle's cousin.
- Crackle: [pan quickly to Crackle, a dragon who looks oddly similar to the costume Rarity made; Crackle vocalizes dumbly and scratches himself]
- Garble: Oh! That would explain it.
- Twilight Sparkle: [Rainbow Dash tries to fly up while still wearing the costume, Twilight yelps] Rainbow Dash, stop! We can't fly!
- Rarity: And you're ruining my fabulous costume!
- Rainbow Dash: Nopony's gonna lay a claw on him!
- Twilight Sparkle: That's right!
- Rarity: Fighting's not really my thing, I'm more into fashion, but I'll rip you to pieces if you touch one scale on his cute little head!
- [dragons laughing]
- Garble: Spike, are these namby-pamby ponies your friends?
- Spike: Yes, they are. And they're better friends than you could ever be. Now, if you don't back off, you'll see what us *ponies* do when confronted by a huge group of *jerky* dragons.
- Garble: Oh yeah?
- [snorts]
- Garble: What's that?
- Spike: Run away!
- [he dashes and the girls follow him]
- Spike: [Twilight just succeeded in teleporting the group away from the dragons and near home] Phew, that was a close one. Thanks you guys.
- Twilight Sparkle: Of course. What are friends for?
- Spike: You're more than friends. You're my family.
- Rarity: [squeaks while they all hug each other] Oooh!
- Spike: Dear Princess Celestia, seeing the great dragon migration made me wonder what it meant to be a dragon. But now I realize that who I am is not the same as what I am. I may have been born a dragon, but Equestria and my pony friends have taught me how to be kind, loyal, and true! I'm proud to call Ponyville my home, and to have my pony friends as my family. Yours truly, Spike.
- [the phoenix egg that Spike rescued and brought home begins to hatch]
- Spike: [phoenix chick chirps] Aww.
- [chuckles]
- Spike: Hey, welcome to the family, Peewee! Stick with me. I've got plenty to teach you about being a pony.
