3rd Sapphire Cupcake: [Video / Action for Cianwood]

[rather_eat_turquoise]

[The feed clicks on to Spike looking cheerful but a little dubious. He's sitting on an already made-bed, surrounded by four large eggs. Luckily his Trapinch is off destroying something else in another room, and his Pineco seemed content to stay sleeping on the window sill.]

Hi, it's Spike here, your friendly neighbourhood dragon.

So, everypony is out working or training right now, and I'm stuck here looking after these eggs.

[Yep, Spike may have gone a little overboard with his egg collecting. So being back at the inn 'egg-sitting' is his own fault really.]

Does anypony know exactly how to look after these guys? [He rubs an imaginary dirt mark off one with the edge of the blanket]

I mean, I'm not supposed to sit on them or anything, right? Coz that would be way too weird.... And Fluttershy went home before I came, so I can't ask her.

[He looks a little concerned now]

If anypony can give me any advice on what I'm supposed to do to hatch eggs, that would be great.

[Spike looks doubtful.]

How much time? Because forever is looking promising right now.

Isn't there anything else I can do to get him to at least be a little nicer?

I don't know. What I do know is it's dependent on how much you're willing to try, so don't give up on him.

Be patient with him. You can't expect change to be immediate; just work with him and he'll work with you.

[Spike looks over at his Trapinch.] 

Well…okay Princess Cadence. If you think it works, I’ll work really hard on it to get Pinchy to at least listen to me.

I mean, even Owlowiscious and I came to a kind of understanding…stupid owl….

[A beat.]

You’re sure you don’t want to take him?

[Spike already knows the answer will be no, but what the hay.]

(Oh, it's definitely a no, but she's not gonna be mean about it.)

He's your responsibility, Spike. Ultimately, he's your Pokemon...

...But I'll be glad to help you out, whenever you need it.

[Spike sighs. It was worth a shot.]

I guess you're right.

But thanks for your help Princess Cadence. I'll let you know how it goes.

You're very welcome, Spike. I really do wish you the best of luck. Just remember to not only have faith in him, but faith in yourself; that's incredibly important.
