Oh..
356
00:17:42,449 --> 00:17:44,449
[splashing]
357
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:48,900
[rustling]
358
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:50,735
What happened to you?
359
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:52,804
Just sleeping outside
like we're meant to.
360
00:17:53,106 --> 00:17:56,007
It's not like dragons are
supposed to live in castles.
361
00:17:56,109 --> 00:17:57,575
I guess not.
362
00:17:57,777 --> 00:17:59,077
But I live in
the school.
363
00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:01,512
Nothing says we have
to live outside.
364
00:18:01,814 --> 00:18:03,782
[sigh] I'm so confused.
365
00:18:03,984 --> 00:18:06,584
It's been great having Sludge
show me how to be a real dragon,
366
00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:08,553
but Twilight just
doesn't get it.
367
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:11,055
What do you mean?
368
00:18:11,157 --> 00:18:13,958
She can't handle how good
at being a dragon Sludge is.
369
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:16,427
Maybe someday I'll be able to
lay around doing nothing
370
00:18:16,529 --> 00:18:17,695
as well as he does.
371
00:18:18,197 --> 00:18:18,930
What?
372
00:18:19,032 --> 00:18:20,865
Well, not now, of course.
373
00:18:20,967 --> 00:18:22,733
I'm too busy bringing
him pony stuff
374
00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:24,903
so he can show me what a
dragon would do with it.
375
00:18:25,005 --> 00:18:27,105
So, Sludge just lays around
376
00:18:27,207 --> 00:18:29,709
while you wait on
him claw and tail?
377
00:18:30,911 --> 00:18:33,378
Uh, dragons are
rude and rebellious,
378
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,748
but they aren't lazy lumps who
take advantage of their kids.
379
00:18:37,150 --> 00:18:39,583
Huh. Now I'm really confused.
380
00:18:39,685 --> 00:18:41,086
Me too.
381
00:18:41,488 --> 00:18:43,754
Why don't you tell me
everything Sludge said
382
00:18:43,856 --> 00:18:45,156
about being a dragon.
383
00:18:46,168 --> 00:18:46,868
[door opens]
384
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:48,126
Hey!
385
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:49,727
What's going on, son?
386
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:52,530
Twilight doesn't like having
real dragons in the castle
387
00:18:52,632 --> 00:18:54,265
so I told her we're moving out.
388
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:55,533
[choke]
389
00:18:55,835 --> 00:18:56,767
You what!?
390
00:18:56,869 --> 00:18:57,735
Spike!
391
00:18:57,837 --> 00:19:00,338
I found the perfect cave
where you two can live.
392
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,541
There aren't even any
comfortable rocks inside.
393
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:05,409
That does
sound perfect!
394
00:19:05,511 --> 00:19:06,745
No, it doesn't!
395
00:19:07,047 --> 00:19:11,616
I-I-I mean, I'm not sure I've fully
demonstrated all the ways
396
00:19:11,718 --> 00:19:13,384
a dragon would live here.
397
00:19:13,786 --> 00:19:16,955
But we're not gonna live here
anymore, so it doesn't matter.
398
00:19:17,157 --> 00:19:18,690
It matters to me!
399
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:23,828
I..... I want to make sure you have
all the knowledge you need.
400
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:25,063
But I do!
401
00:19:25,165 --> 00:19:28,099
Dad, you've already
shared so much.
402
00:19:28,301 --> 00:19:30,134
♪ This bed is much too soft. ♪
403
00:19:30,336 --> 00:19:32,203
♪ Just take that
silk robe off. ♪
404
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:36,106
♪ We can't be dragons
living here! ♪
405
00:19:40,613 --> 00:19:44,982
[grunts]
406
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:46,751
ARGH! Stop!
407
00:19:47,153 --> 00:19:49,420
I'm not your father!
-What?
408
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:52,958
I just said that to get in
on this sweet castle life.
409
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:57,962
So... you pretended to be my dad?
410
00:19:58,364 --> 00:20:01,732
Na nana. Don't look at
me like that, kid.
411
00:20:01,834 --> 00:20:03,868
I did what any dragon would do.
412
00:20:04,270 --> 00:20:06,170
No, you didn't.
413
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:09,574
Hey, I saw an opportunity
and I took it.
414
00:20:10,076 --> 00:20:12,109
That's what dragons do.
415
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:14,178
No. It isn't.
416
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,946
You know what? I
don't need this.
417
00:20:16,048 --> 00:20:17,047
I'm out of here.
418
00:20:17,149 --> 00:20:18,883
Enjoy livin' in pony town...!
419
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:20,185
[Spike sighs]
420
00:20:21,187 --> 00:20:22,488
I'm taking this pillow.
421
00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:26,156
I can't believe I thought
somepony like that
422
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:28,661
could show me how
to be.. anything.
423
00:20:28,863 --> 00:20:34,198
[sigh] It must be hard growing up not
really knowing who you are.
424
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:35,500
That's the thing.
425
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:39,870
I know exactly who I am,
and how I got that way.
426
00:20:41,418 --> 00:20:42,118
[door opens]
427
00:20:43,643 --> 00:20:45,343
Um, Twilight?
428
00:20:45,445 --> 00:20:48,780
Oh. Hi. Where's
your.. father?
429
00:20:49,282 --> 00:20:50,115
He's gone.
430
00:20:50,317 --> 00:20:53,451
Turns out he wasn't what a real
dragon should be after all.
431
00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:56,287
He also wasn't my real dad.
432
00:20:57,089 --> 00:21:00,324
Oh, Spike... I'm so sorry.
433
00:21:00,426 --> 00:21:01,993
I'm the one who's sorry.
434
00:21:02,195 --> 00:21:04,762
You were just worried about
me and I lost my temper.
435
00:21:05,064 --> 00:21:07,565
Sludge was just a
great big phony.
436
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:10,234
I have to say, I'm not surprised.
437
00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:13,171
There's no way a dragon like
that was related to you.
438
00:21:13,473 --> 00:21:15,840
But if you still want to
search for your real family,
439
00:21:15,942 --> 00:21:18,809
I'd understand if you spent
more time in the Dragonlands.
440
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:20,044
I don't think so.
441
00:21:20,146 --> 00:21:22,947
I already know who
my real family is.
442
00:21:23,149 --> 00:21:25,316
Oooh! It's me, right?
443
00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:27,019
Mm hm! Besides...
444
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:30,922
There's no way I'm
living without pillows.
