SPIKE:
Six, seven, eight, nine,

2
00:00:04,797 --> 00:00:06,799
10, 11, 12.

3
00:00:06,924 --> 00:00:08,717
Hm,
that's not that many.

4
00:00:08,843 --> 00:00:10,302
Are you kidding?

5
00:00:10,427 --> 00:00:13,221
How are you supposed
to read 12 books in one weekend?

6
00:00:13,347 --> 00:00:15,182
Princess Celestia obviously
thinks I can

7
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:17,184
or she would never have assigned
them to me.

8
00:00:17,309 --> 00:00:19,019
I'm not planning
on letting her down.

9
00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:22,105
Well, I hope you're not planning
on sleeping, then, either.

10
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:24,775
Actually, Spike, why don't you
take the day off?

11
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:26,527
Really?
Why not?

12
00:00:26,652 --> 00:00:28,737
These books are gonna
keep me busy for a while.

13
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:33,116
Hm, I do have a long list
of things I've been dying to do.

14
00:00:35,452 --> 00:00:37,621
"Touch nose with tongue."

15
00:00:38,914 --> 00:00:40,040
Done.

16
00:00:40,165 --> 00:00:41,500
"Play bongos on my belly."

17
00:00:43,168 --> 00:00:44,294
Done.

18
00:00:44,419 --> 00:00:45,713
"Smell my dirty feet."

19
00:00:45,838 --> 00:00:47,715
[SNIFFING]

20
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,383
Done!

21
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,347
Huh. That didn't take nearly
as long as I thought it would.

( cat screeches )

36
00:01:39,558 --> 00:01:40,935
A hot air balloon ride.

37
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:49,860
Oh, no. Wait.

38
00:01:49,985 --> 00:01:51,278
Runaway balloon!

39
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:57,826
Sorry!

40
00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:21,224
Whew.

41
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:23,602
That was a close one.

42
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:27,188
If I didn't know better,

43
00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:29,817
I would swear that I was
in the middle of the dark

44
00:02:29,942 --> 00:02:31,693
and scary Everfree forest.

45
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,612
( animal yelps )

46
00:02:33,737 --> 00:02:35,823
What was that?

47
00:02:35,948 --> 00:02:37,532
Come on, Spike.

48
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:40,577
Just because this forest is full
of wild, dangerous animals

49
00:02:40,702 --> 00:02:42,579
doesn't mean
that you're gonna see one.

50
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:44,414
( sniffing )

51
00:02:44,539 --> 00:02:46,166
( branch snaps )
Ah!

52
00:02:46,291 --> 00:02:48,585
( growling )

53
00:02:51,755 --> 00:02:53,924
( screams )

54
00:02:54,049 --> 00:02:55,383
( timber wolves barking
and snarling )

55
00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:10,607
Come and get me,
you big goons.

56
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:13,443
Run.

57
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:15,946
I'm running.
I'm running.

58
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:26,957
( Spike screaming )

59
00:03:39,970 --> 00:03:41,304
Whew.
SPIKE: Wow, Applejack.

60
00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:43,140
That was amazing.

61
00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:45,684
You rocketed those boulders
at them like they were rockets.

62
00:03:45,809 --> 00:03:47,310
Pow! Pow! Pow!

63
00:03:47,435 --> 00:03:49,855
You saved my life.

64
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:53,316
You saved my life.

65
00:03:54,985 --> 00:03:56,486
Aw, don't mention it,
Spike.

66
00:03:56,611 --> 00:03:58,488
Come on, we should be heading
on back now.

67
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:00,824
Man, am I lucky you were
out here.

68
00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:02,450
Uh, why were you
out here?

69
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:04,494
Saw the balloon floating
by with no pony in it

70
00:04:04,619 --> 00:04:06,038
and I came out here
to investigate.

71
00:04:06,163 --> 00:04:07,873
Guess you did too, huh?

72
00:04:07,998 --> 00:04:10,000
Uh, yeah.

73
00:04:10,125 --> 00:04:13,670
I was investigating
the runaway hot air balloon too.

74
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:16,215
So now that that mystery's
been solved,

75
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:18,008
let's get out here, huh?

76
00:04:24,389 --> 00:04:25,807
Thanks for walking me home,
Spike.

77
00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:27,434
That was mighty kind
of you,

78
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:29,061
but now I have some chores
that need tending to,

79
00:04:29,186 --> 00:04:30,520
so see you later.

80
00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:32,606
What chores?
I'll do them.

81
00:04:32,731 --> 00:04:34,066
That's sweet,
but you don't have--

82
00:04:34,191 --> 00:04:35,567
It's the least I can do.
You saved my life.

83
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:37,360
I need to repay
the favor.

84
00:04:37,485 --> 00:04:40,030
Shoot, Spike, that's what
friends do for each other.

85
00:04:40,155 --> 00:04:41,615
You don't need
to repay the favor.

86
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:43,700
Yes, I do.
Sugar, it's okay.

87
00:04:43,825 --> 00:04:45,160
It's not necessary.

88
00:04:45,284 --> 00:04:46,828
Applejack,
you don't understand.

89
00:04:46,954 --> 00:04:48,914
This is something
that I really need to do.

90
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:53,168
I hate to get in the way of you
doing something you need to.

91
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:54,920
Great.
What should I do?

92
00:04:55,045 --> 00:04:56,838
Uh...Apple Bloom's over yonder,

93
00:04:56,964 --> 00:04:58,548
giving little Piggington
a bath.

94
00:04:58,673 --> 00:04:59,800
I was gonna lend her
a hoof,

95
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:02,136
but maybe you could lend her
one instead.

96
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:04,721
On the double.

97
00:05:04,846 --> 00:05:06,265
Applejack said
I could help you.

98
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:07,599
Great.

99
00:05:07,724 --> 00:05:09,434
I could use all
the help I can get.

100
00:05:14,606 --> 00:05:17,400
Wait till Applejack sees
how you sparkle.

101
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:21,822
Ta-da.

102
00:05:21,947 --> 00:05:23,323
Good job, you two.

103
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:25,867
Applejack,
is it okay if I get going?

104
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:27,995
I don't wanna be late
for my Crusaders meeting.

105
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,164
We're getting fitted
for water skis.

106
00:05:30,289 --> 00:05:33,541
Ha. You definitely don't want
to be late for that.

107
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:36,295
Water-skiing Cutie Mark,
here I come.

108
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:37,963
Spike,
you can head on out too.

109
00:05:38,088 --> 00:05:39,881
I reckon you have re-paid me
in full

110
00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:42,092
so we are officially
even-Steven.

111
00:05:42,217 --> 00:05:43,802
What? Oh, no.

112
00:05:43,927 --> 00:05:45,762
We aren't even close
to being even-Steven.

113
00:05:45,887 --> 00:05:48,515
Please, Applejack, you must
allow me to assist you further.

114
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,433
I don't know, Spike.
Just don't feel right

115
00:05:50,558 --> 00:05:52,602
to have you doing things
for me.

116
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:54,395
Please.
Really, you don't--

117
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:57,482
Pretty please.
It's just not necessary--

118
00:05:57,607 --> 00:06:01,069
Pretty, pretty,
pretty please.

119
00:06:01,195 --> 00:06:02,612
Oh, all right.

120
00:06:02,737 --> 00:06:04,698
You can help Granny Smith
and me bake some...

121
00:06:04,823 --> 00:06:06,325
Pies. Pies.

122
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:10,620
I'm helping Applejack make
some pies.

123
00:06:10,745 --> 00:06:12,206
Spike,
little feller,

124
00:06:12,331 --> 00:06:14,666
could you get us
some more eggs?

125
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:16,168
SPIKE:
Coming right up.

126
00:06:21,673 --> 00:06:22,966
( crash )

127
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:24,718
SPIKE:
Ah, oops.

128
00:06:24,843 --> 00:06:26,094
Sorry, Applejack.

129
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:28,555
Let me get something
to clean that up.

130
00:06:41,318 --> 00:06:43,820
Appreciate all your help today,
sugar cube,

131
00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:45,989
but I can take it
from here.

132
00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:47,324
Don't be ridiculous.

133
00:06:47,448 --> 00:06:48,950
It is my honor
and my duty.

134
00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:50,369
Today is just
the beginning.

135
00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:53,705
What's that now?
You saved my life.

136
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:56,083
According to the
"Spike the Dragon Code,"

137
00:06:56,208 --> 00:06:58,585
I owe you a life debt
and must serve you.

138
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,628
Now,
what about Twilight?

139
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:04,507
Doesn't she need your help
and such?

140
00:07:04,632 --> 00:07:05,926
Huh. You're right.

141
00:07:06,051 --> 00:07:07,677
I better break the news
to Twilight.

142
00:07:07,802 --> 00:07:09,971
I just hope she doesn't take
it too hard.

143
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:11,431
Be right back.

144
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:20,399
Come on, Spike.

145
00:07:20,523 --> 00:07:22,901
This is your personal moral,
ethical Dragon Code

146
00:07:23,026 --> 00:07:25,695
we're talking about.
You have to do this.

147
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:28,365
It's not like you and Twilight
won't be friends anymore.

148
00:07:28,489 --> 00:07:30,658
But it won't be the same.

149
00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:33,412
But it has to be done.

150
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:36,206
Twilight, Applejack
just saved my life

151
00:07:36,331 --> 00:07:38,792
from horrible,
dragon-eating timber wolves.

152
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:40,585
Mm-hm...

153
00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:43,838
And, as you are aware,
I adhere to my Dragon Code

154
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:45,465
and this means
I must serve her

155
00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:48,009
for the rest
of my natural-born days.

156
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:49,552
I'm sure you understand.

157
00:07:49,677 --> 00:07:52,139
Mm-hm...

158
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:56,893
It's been an honor being
your faithful assistant.

159
00:07:57,018 --> 00:07:58,519
Sounds good.

160
00:08:00,397 --> 00:08:02,649
( sighs )

161
00:08:06,445 --> 00:08:07,654
She said it was okay.

162
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:08,905
Really?
Really?

163
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,615
So with Twilight's blessing,

164
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:14,869
I am free to follow my code
and serve you until...

165
00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:18,373
Well, until forever.

166
00:08:26,298 --> 00:08:31,428
Listen, sugar cube, I completely
respect your Dragon Code,

167
00:08:31,552 --> 00:08:33,430
truly I do,
but I just can't cotton

168
00:08:33,554 --> 00:08:36,016
with you permanently serving me.

169
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:37,267
Please, Applejack.

170
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:39,060
My Dragon Code is a part
of me.

171
00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:41,188
I have to be true to myself.

172
00:08:41,313 --> 00:08:42,814
If you don't let me do this,

173
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:44,399
I won't be
a noble dragon anymore.

174
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:47,777
Oh. Well,
I can't have you feeling

175
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:50,364
like you're not a noble dragon,
now can I?

176
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:51,906
Great.
Then from here on in,

177
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:54,659
your wish is my command.

178
00:08:57,787 --> 00:08:59,956
Oh. Um. Okay.

179
00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:03,293
I would like you to...

180
00:09:03,418 --> 00:09:06,380
Hm...

181
00:09:06,505 --> 00:09:11,510
Oh...

182
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:14,137
Help me take some of the pie
you made to--

183
00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:15,889
Rarity?
Uh...

184
00:09:16,014 --> 00:09:18,808
Sure. Why not?

185
00:09:18,933 --> 00:09:22,062
I helped bake it.

186
00:09:22,187 --> 00:09:23,438
Ugh.

187
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:44,959
You even look good
when you're chewing.

188
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:50,298
Who looks good
when they're chewing?

189
00:09:50,424 --> 00:09:51,632
Aren't you gonna have
some more?

190
00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:53,343
I had a big lunch.

191
00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:54,802
It's 10 in the morning.

192
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:56,971
Breakfast.
A big breakfast.

193
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:58,598
Oh. Okay.

194
00:09:58,723 --> 00:10:00,016
Maybe you could take her plate
back to the kitchen

195
00:10:00,141 --> 00:10:01,268
and wash it off?

196
00:10:01,393 --> 00:10:03,103
As you wish.

197
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:04,979
What was
that all about?

198
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:07,815
Ah, I saved Spike
from some timber wolves

199
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:09,859
in the Everfree Forest
and now he thinks

200
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:11,819
he has to serve me forever.
Oh!

201
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:15,907
What I wouldn't give to have
some pony forever in my debt.

202
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:17,700
I'd get them
to organize my closets

203
00:10:17,825 --> 00:10:20,078
and give me pedicures
and help me with my sewing--

204
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:22,747
Okay, I get it. Having somepony
to do things for you

205
00:10:22,872 --> 00:10:23,998
would be
a dream come true.

206
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:25,584
But I don't feel right

207
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:28,169
having Spike thinking
he owes me something.

208
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:29,588
And you tasted
that pie.

209
00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:31,923
Sometimes his help isn't
that helpful.

210
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:34,092
( crash )

211
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:36,636
Do you have
a broom I could borrow?

212
00:10:40,265 --> 00:10:42,683
A.J., Rary.
What's happening?

213
00:10:42,809 --> 00:10:44,311
Applejack saved Spike's life

214
00:10:44,436 --> 00:10:45,937
and now he has
to serve her forever.

215
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:48,315
Sweet. What are you
having him do?

216
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,899
Wash your laundry?
Clean your room?

217
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:51,359
Help you
with your unfinished novel?

218
00:10:51,485 --> 00:10:53,069
Mine's about this awesome
Pegasus

219
00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:54,904
who's the best flyer ever
and becomes the captain

220
00:10:55,029 --> 00:10:56,531
of the Wonderbolts.

221
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:59,576
How ever did you come
up with that ingeniously woven,

222
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:01,035
intricate plot line?

223
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:02,745
Just came to me.

224
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:05,248
Thing is I don't really want him
to serve me forever.

225
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:07,000
But I don't know how
to get him to stop.

226
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:08,835
That's easy.

227
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,921
Just make him help you with
something really, really hard.

228
00:11:12,046 --> 00:11:13,173
I don't know.

229
00:11:13,298 --> 00:11:14,591
I don't want him to get hurt.

230
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:16,675
Please.
He'll quit way before

231
00:11:16,801 --> 00:11:18,677
there's even a chance
of getting hurt.

232
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:21,431
( crash )

233
00:11:21,556 --> 00:11:23,475
Leave this
to me.

234
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,686
So, Spike, Applejack was gonna
help me stack some hay

235
00:11:27,812 --> 00:11:29,772
so I could practice smashing
through it,

236
00:11:29,897 --> 00:11:32,733
but I'm feeling extra,
extra powerful today.

237
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:34,027
You are?

238
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:35,570
Yeah, I am.

239
00:11:35,694 --> 00:11:36,904
So instead of hay,

240
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,157
I'm gonna
smash through rocks.

241
00:11:39,282 --> 00:11:42,076
Rocks?
Yeah, a tower of rocks.

242
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,120
And you're gonna build it.

243
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:45,788
I am?
Yeah.

244
00:11:45,913 --> 00:11:47,915
I mean, unless you don't want
to help Applejack.

245
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:49,167
I do.

246
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:50,585
It is Spike's Dragon Code.

247
00:11:50,709 --> 00:11:52,379
Then get to it.

248
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:55,298
Trust me.

249
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:58,552
This is going to work like
a charm.

250
00:11:58,677 --> 00:12:01,137
( panting )

251
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:05,058
Huh. I was sure he'd give up
after, like, three rocks.

252
00:12:05,183 --> 00:12:07,310
Oh, goodness.
If it'd been me,

253
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:10,188
I'd have just pretended I didn't
have anything for him to do.

254
00:12:10,313 --> 00:12:12,731
Why didn't I think
of that?

255
00:12:12,857 --> 00:12:14,484
SPIKE:
Is this is high enough?

256
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:15,818
APPLEJACK:
That's plenty high.

257
00:12:15,943 --> 00:12:17,654
Come on down, Spike.

258
00:12:17,778 --> 00:12:20,990
Bad news: He actually ended up
building the whole rock tower.

259
00:12:21,115 --> 00:12:23,702
Good news:

260
00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:27,664
I've got a rock tower
to knock down.

261
00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:29,040
( Spike laughing and cheering )

262
00:12:29,165 --> 00:12:30,291
You can do it.

263
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:31,543
( Spike laughing )

264
00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:33,878
All right! Yeah!

265
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:36,881
( loud crash )

266
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:41,344
That was awesome.

267
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:42,887
Wanna do it again,
Rainbow Dash?

268
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:44,514
Applejack can re-build it
for you.

269
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:49,561
And when I say "Applejack,"
I of course mean me.

270
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:52,105
Sure. Why not?

271
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:53,440
No.

272
00:12:53,565 --> 00:12:55,275
I mean, I don't
think Rainbow Dash

273
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,693
needs any more
of your help.

274
00:12:56,817 --> 00:12:58,445
My help--
She doesn't need it.

275
00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:00,697
Right,
Rainbow Dash?

276
00:13:00,821 --> 00:13:02,156
Yeah.

277
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:04,367
I guess I'm good.

278
00:13:04,492 --> 00:13:06,661
For now.
And so am I.

279
00:13:06,785 --> 00:13:08,787
I just can't think of one more
thing I need help with.

280
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:12,667
So you don't have
to do anything else.

281
00:13:12,791 --> 00:13:14,252
What do you mean you can't think
of anything else

282
00:13:14,377 --> 00:13:15,503
I can help with?

283
00:13:15,629 --> 00:13:16,755
Exactly that.

284
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,047
There's nothing else.

285
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:19,591
I don't want you
to do anything.

286
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:21,509
If I don't help you,
how will I know

287
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:24,011
I'm a noble dragon?
Well, uh--

288
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:25,680
Maybe there's things you need
help with

289
00:13:25,804 --> 00:13:27,265
that you don't even realize
that you need help with.

290
00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:30,477
If she needed help
I think she'd realize it.

291
00:13:30,602 --> 00:13:31,936
Maybe not.

292
00:13:32,061 --> 00:13:33,605
Maybe Applejack needs help
realizing

293
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:35,231
what she needs help with.

294
00:13:35,356 --> 00:13:38,234
Like,
maybe your back itches.

295
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:40,654
That does feel good.

296
00:13:40,779 --> 00:13:42,363
( laughing ):
See?

297
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:44,907
Or you might need help
remembering your favorite song.

298
00:13:45,032 --> 00:13:47,327
♪ The dragon is
The finest creature ever ♪

299
00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:50,747
♪ There's more to him
Than just guarding treasure ♪

300
00:13:50,871 --> 00:13:52,791
I don't think that's her
favorite--

301
00:13:52,915 --> 00:13:54,833
Or you might need help
breathing.

302
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,835
Breathing?
I certainly do not--

303
00:13:59,547 --> 00:14:02,509
See? There are plenty of things
I can help you with.

304
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:04,051
And you don't even have
to trouble yourself

305
00:14:04,177 --> 00:14:05,637
with thinking of them.
No. I'll think of them.

306
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:06,971
Let me think of them.

307
00:14:07,096 --> 00:14:11,267
As you wish.

308
00:14:11,392 --> 00:14:14,395
Twilight? Twilight,
are you there?

309
00:14:14,521 --> 00:14:20,485
Twilight.

310
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:22,111
Ah!
Sorry.

311
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:23,363
I didn't mean to scare you.

312
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:25,114
( sighs ):
No, it's okay.

313
00:14:25,239 --> 00:14:26,449
I need to take
a break anyway.

314
00:14:26,574 --> 00:14:27,701
What's going on?

315
00:14:27,826 --> 00:14:28,951
I know Spike told you

316
00:14:29,076 --> 00:14:30,745
that he was gonna follow
his Dragon Code

317
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:33,080
and serve me forever for saving
him from the timber wolves

318
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,415
and that you were okay
with it, but--

319
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:36,250
Wait. What?

320
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:39,796
He said he told you
all about it.

321
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,674
I'm guessing maybe you were
a little distracted

322
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:45,009
when he told you.
Maybe a little.

323
00:14:45,134 --> 00:14:48,012
Should've realized you wouldn't
have let him go so easily.

324
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:49,723
Well, now that you know what's
going on,

325
00:14:49,848 --> 00:14:51,265
maybe you could talk some sense
into him.

326
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:52,891
Oh, Applejack,
I wish I could,

327
00:14:53,017 --> 00:14:55,645
but this is the Dragon Code
we're talking about.

328
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:58,648
Surely you know how important
the Dragon Code is to a dragon?

329
00:14:58,773 --> 00:15:00,608
I sure am starting to.

330
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:02,985
There's only one other way Spike
is gonna fulfill

331
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:06,656
the debt he feels he owes you.

332
00:15:06,781 --> 00:15:07,906
Seventy,

333
00:15:08,032 --> 00:15:13,329
71, 72, 73, 74, 75...

334
00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:15,164
All right, you all,
here's the deal,

335
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:17,291
Spike needs to save my life.

336
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:19,502
And you want us to shoot you
out of a cannon

337
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:21,295
toward a hornet's nest
and give Spike a butterfly net

338
00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:23,297
so he can catch you mere seconds
before you hit the nest

339
00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:25,383
and are stung
by a angry hornets.

340
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:27,886
I'll wear this moustache.

341
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:32,348
No. I am gonna be attacked
by a timber wolf.

342
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:35,059
( both gasp )

343
00:15:35,184 --> 00:15:38,062
Can I still wear
the moustache?

344
00:15:40,815 --> 00:15:42,859
APPLEJACK:
When I give the signal,
Pinky Pie and Rarity

345
00:15:42,983 --> 00:15:44,402
will come running
out of the woods

346
00:15:44,527 --> 00:15:46,320
being pursued
by the timber wolf.

347
00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:47,655
I'll start to run too,

348
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:49,866
but then pretend to get
my hoof stuck.

349
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:51,659
I'll ask Spike
to help me dislodge it.

350
00:15:51,785 --> 00:15:53,536
And he will
and I'll be able to get away

351
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:55,538
from the terrifying timber wolf.

352
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,373
Having saved me
from certain doom,

353
00:15:57,498 --> 00:15:59,375
Spike will then consider
us even.

354
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:00,668
Everybody get it?

355
00:16:00,794 --> 00:16:02,002
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.

356
00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:05,506
I'll do my best.

357
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,300
Just one question.

358
00:16:07,425 --> 00:16:09,427
Yes.

359
00:16:09,552 --> 00:16:10,929
No.

360
00:16:11,053 --> 00:16:13,723
Suit yourself.

361
00:16:13,848 --> 00:16:15,099
( clears throat )

362
00:16:15,224 --> 00:16:17,852
We're all ready
to play our parts,

363
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:21,105
but are you sure you're ready
to play yours, Applejack?

364
00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:23,441
What do you mean?
Show us your best

365
00:16:23,566 --> 00:16:25,276
damsel-in-distress move.

366
00:16:25,401 --> 00:16:28,655
Uh...oh,
well, uh...

367
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:29,948
How's this?

368
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:31,908
Whoo!

369
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:34,034
Absolutely horrendous.

370
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,287
Okay, this needs
some serious work.

371
00:16:36,412 --> 00:16:39,039
Now, first you must
lift your foreleg

372
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:41,041
up to your forehead
like so.

373
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:42,502
SPIKE:
Applejack.

374
00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:43,878
No time.

375
00:16:44,002 --> 00:16:45,129
Here he comes.

376
00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:47,465
Uh, over here, Spike.

377
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:49,717
You said you had something else
you needed me to do?

378
00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:51,636
Oh. Yes, I...

379
00:16:51,761 --> 00:16:53,680
I was just hoping
you could maybe, uh,

380
00:16:53,805 --> 00:16:56,265
sweep up all those leaves
for a compost pile.

381
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:58,476
But, of course.

382
00:16:58,601 --> 00:17:00,561
Oh, by the way,
there are exactly

383
00:17:00,687 --> 00:17:03,564
24,567,837

384
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:05,733
blades of grass
at Sweet Apple Acres.

385
00:17:05,859 --> 00:17:09,195
I can't believe you counted
every single one of them.

386
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,156
SPIKE:
You asked me to.
And as a noble dragon

387
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:14,826
and follower
of my Dragon Code, I--

388
00:17:14,951 --> 00:17:16,744
( Rainbow Dash roaring )

389
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:21,541
That was very
convincing.

390
00:17:21,666 --> 00:17:23,376
RARITY:
Timber wolf!

391
00:17:23,501 --> 00:17:27,087
( sobbing ):
We are doomed!

392
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,757
( screaming )

393
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,803
See? Like that.

394
00:17:39,099 --> 00:17:40,393
( hooves beating )

395
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:49,986
( laughing )

396
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,697
( roaring )

397
00:17:54,114 --> 00:17:56,409
APPLEJACK:
Oh, no.

398
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,327
I seem to have got
my hoof caught

399
00:17:58,452 --> 00:17:59,954
in between two rocks.

400
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,248
I cannot run away.

401
00:18:02,373 --> 00:18:05,710
I am a damsel
in distress.

402
00:18:05,835 --> 00:18:07,837
Help me, Spike.

403
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:11,257
Wait a minute.

404
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:16,596
No, no.
Don't wait a minute.

405
00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:20,516
Save me from the terrifying
timber wolf.

406
00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:22,435
Well, he would be terrifying

407
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,854
if he
wasn't...a fake.

408
00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:27,941
You got the clomping
of his claws.

409
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:29,817
The roar was spot on.

410
00:18:31,193 --> 00:18:33,279
And the detail on his face
is pretty good.

411
00:18:33,404 --> 00:18:34,948
But you forgot
one thing.

412
00:18:35,073 --> 00:18:36,908
His breath.
You can smell a real

413
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:38,284
Timber wolf's breath
from a mile--

414
00:18:38,409 --> 00:18:39,619
( both sniffing )

415
00:18:39,744 --> 00:18:40,870
( laughing )

416
00:18:40,995 --> 00:18:42,872
Too late.
I'm already on--

417
00:18:42,997 --> 00:18:44,373
( Twilight Sparkle screams )

418
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:46,542
RAINBOW DASH:
Timber wolf!

419
00:18:47,794 --> 00:18:49,587
( snarls )

420
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:52,130
( all roaring )

421
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:53,800
SPIKE:
Timber wolf!

422
00:19:03,768 --> 00:19:05,853
( screams )

423
00:19:05,979 --> 00:19:07,146
( crashing )

424
00:19:07,271 --> 00:19:08,564
Ow.

425
00:19:11,901 --> 00:19:13,611
Uh-oh.

426
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:18,866
Applejack, come on.

427
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:20,451
( straining )

428
00:19:20,576 --> 00:19:22,662
I can't.
I'm really stuck.

429
00:19:24,122 --> 00:19:25,372
No more messing around.

430
00:19:28,584 --> 00:19:29,710
Let's go.

431
00:19:29,836 --> 00:19:31,337
( Applejack straining )

432
00:19:31,462 --> 00:19:33,047
( growling )

433
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,882
Come on.

434
00:19:36,467 --> 00:19:38,385
( roaring )

435
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:40,471
Forget it, Spike.

436
00:19:40,596 --> 00:19:43,223
You gotta
get out of here.

437
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:46,060
Would you just forget
your Dragon Code already and go.

438
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,813
( timber wolf roars )
No.

439
00:19:48,938 --> 00:19:50,523
I have to save you.

440
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:55,736
( hacking )

441
00:19:55,862 --> 00:19:57,697
Let's get out of here.

442
00:19:57,822 --> 00:19:59,573
( grunting )

443
00:20:01,450 --> 00:20:04,495
( coughing )

444
00:20:15,131 --> 00:20:16,757
What happened to you
guys back there?

445
00:20:16,883 --> 00:20:18,176
Thought you were
right behind us.

446
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,593
My hoof was stuck

447
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:22,013
and that timber wolf
was coming right at me.

448
00:20:22,138 --> 00:20:23,723
Wait, you were
actually stuck?

449
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:25,725
Uh-huh.
But Spike picked up a pebble

450
00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:28,728
and rocketed that thing right
at the huge timber wolf's mouth

451
00:20:28,853 --> 00:20:30,688
and saved my life.

452
00:20:30,813 --> 00:20:32,648
Ah, it was nothing.

453
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:34,108
It was something
all right.

454
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:35,902
Of course I wouldn't
have needed help

455
00:20:36,027 --> 00:20:37,695
if I hadn't been trying
to stage a fake

456
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:39,780
Timber wolf attack
in the first place.

457
00:20:39,906 --> 00:20:42,282
Yeah.
What was that all about?

458
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:43,701
( sighs )

459
00:20:43,826 --> 00:20:45,452
I know this code thing's
important to you,

460
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:47,872
but if something like this
comes up in the future,

461
00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:49,707
think maybe we can
go back to my code,

462
00:20:49,832 --> 00:20:51,291
say that's what
friends do,

463
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:53,127
and leave
it at that?

464
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:56,714
I promise I won't think
of you as any less noble.

465
00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:59,133
Sounds good to me.

466
00:21:01,427 --> 00:21:03,763
But maybe let's just try
to avoid situations

467
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:05,223
where one of us actually needs

468
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:06,515
the other one
to save their life.

469
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,350
You got yourself a deal.

470
00:21:18,318 --> 00:21:20,613
Thanks, Spike.
Happy to help.

471
00:21:20,738 --> 00:21:22,531
Don't know what I'd do
without you.

472
00:21:24,324 --> 00:21:26,911
No, really. I'm really, really,
really happy to help you.

473
00:21:27,036 --> 00:21:28,287
( laughs )

474
00:21:28,412 --> 00:21:30,414
