"But why I can´t go with you, Twilight?" the little dragon complained.

"Because this is a really dangerous adventure, Spike."

"But you have brought me along in many adventures. Why is this one different?"

"Because umh you see...its and adventure in the zebras land, yeah! We´re visiting Zecora´s land and they don´t like dragons in there so you better stay here." she lied.

"You´re going to the zebra land?"

"Yes."

"And when will you be back?"

"First time in the mornin-" Twilight bite her tongue but before Spike could caught on her lie, somepony knocked at the door. "Oh that must be your foalsitter!"

"A foalsitter? I don´t need a foalsitter! i´m a dragon!" he complained.

"You´re a baby dragon and you´re getting a foalsitter Spike. End of discussion." Twilight opened the door to reveal the mysterious foalsitter.

"Rainbow Dash?!"

"What´s up?"

"Ugh I can´t believe this! Of all the ponies you brought Rainbow Dash!" and Spike went upstairs in a tantrum.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Spike."

"Don´t worry, he´ll get over it. Thanks for the help Rainbow. Why are you looking at me like that?"

Rainbow raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, you know?! I made her Pinkie Promise she won´t tell anypony!"

"She can´t hide any secrets from me..."

Twilight left in a hurry, blushing..

"Good luck in your "adventure", hehehe."

"So SPike...have any cool games?"

"No games. Just books."

"Wanna catch a movie?"

"All her movies are documentaries."

"Wanna play Daring Do and the Obnoxious Dragon that did nothing but complain all night long?"

"I don´t like Daring Do..."

"That´s it!" and she grabbed him by the tail.

"AUH! Wh-where are we going?"

"Twilight told me to keep an eye on you. She never said where." Rainbo explained, managing to talk even when biting at his tail. "So, lets go out and have fun!"

Of course, Rainbow idea of fun was playing pranks on other ponies. Dipping their hooves in warm water while they sleep, putting glue in the doormat and calling at the door, putting vinegar in their bedside water, and so forth.

Spike realized that without Pinkie to counter her, Rainbow´s pranks were really mean spirited.

Finally they got to the Cakes house where Rainbow asked Spike to use his flames to send the basket of dirty diapers to Princess Celestia.

"Think you can do it?"

"Of course I can!"

"Go for it!" and she slapped his back, which proved to be a bad idea since his filames now came out regular, causing a fire in the laundry. "Oh no, I´ll get a raincloud! Be back in ten seconds flat!"

Spike was trembling in fear and guilt when the cries from the babies caught his attention. The Cakes were still asleep, if the fire keeps spreading it may hit the abies! SPike thought and rushed to the babies room. Once he got there the smoke was already on the windows, so he bravely grabbed the babies and jumped outside, softly falling into a cloud.

"Woah Spike! That was a close call!" Rainbow said and put them all down.

"What is going on?" Mrs. Cake asked while her husband used the hose that was IN the laundry to put the fire down.

"Oh right..." SPike scratched his head.

"I´m sorry Mrs. Cake. I was careless with a thunderstorm and caused a fire. It was all my fault!"Rainbowo said.

"Well, seems nopony was hurt. But you better be mroe careful next time, Rainbow." she said, taking the babies on her back.

"Rainbow..." Spike couldn't believe it. She took the bullet for him. She truly was the element of loyalty.

"That was really brave of you, Spike." she instead said and affectionately rubbed his head.

The next morning Rarity paid a visit to Twilight.

"Good morning darling. Oh Spikey-Wikey, good mor-"

"Later. Bye Twilight! Bye Rarity!"

"Why is he in such a hurry?" Rarity asked.

"No idea." Twilight confessed. She watched as Spike rushed to meet Rainbow Dash and they both headed down the lake. "Not a single clue."
