Twilight: Me too. You’ve grown quite a bit. Have you been getting greedy?
Spike: [Blushes and looks away] N-no, not like that! I mean, maybe its because I mated somepony that I’ve grown?
Twilight: Oh! That’s a good theory! Perhaps the mating triggered your grown as a means to ensure you can care and protect your mate! Ah, I realy wish you’d let me study you more!
Spike: You know me and Thorax live here now, Twilight. Plus he gets creeped out by all your… science stuff.
Twilight: Psh. That wasn’t my fault. He decided to play around in my lab. How was I to know changeling magic had weird effects on premade spells?
Spike: I would have hoped it’d be you but I suppose that’s why you were researching that stuff. Anyway, we’re almost there.
[The two enter the open cavern. Snow and ice surrounded them as Twilight shivered, moving closer to Spike’s large, warm body.]
Spike: Thorax?! Hun, you awake?
Twilight: Where is he?
Spike: [Sniffs the air] He’s here. [Looks up.] Thorax, please come down.
[Twilight looks up to see Thorax on the ceiling, teeth bared and eyes glowing.]
Thorax: No! I have to protect our larva!
Spike: Sorry about this. Thor has been like this since he laid the egg. He won’t leave it’s side. [turns back to thorax.]
Thorax: If I leave, predators might harm our larva. So send the pony away.
Spike: Thor, its just Twilight. I promise she won’t hurt our egg. [Suddenly glares down at Twilight] Right? You aren’t planning on harming my child, correct?
Twilight: [Flinches] N-no… (Thinking) This must be his dragon instincts kicking in. Be calm, Twi.
Spike: [Stares for a minute before relaxing.] Right, so Thor come down so we eat like a normal family. In a underground cavern.
