I think I have a good episode for Spike.... A dragon the same color scheme as Spike comes to town, claiming to be his father. Spike, not knowing anything about his family and only knowing that he was hatched by Twilight and been around ponies all his life, is of course very interested in meeting his father. Wanting to spend some time with his father, Spike leaves Ponyville for good, Twilight willingly but very reluctantly letting him go to life his own life. Spike's father decides it is time for his son to learn how to be a dragon and not a pony, seeing as how he is not 1 of them, and does therefore not fit in with their society. Garble (the dragon from the episode Dragon Quest) and his gang mock Spike, claiming he will never be a real dragon. This is met by a very angry response from his father, who proclaims that he can change Spike. As his father tries to teach Spike, all he can think of is how dragons do things, and how his pony friends would have handled these same things. After his father keeps on hearing Spike talk about ponies all the time, he finally gets fed up and tells Spike that living amongst ponies has brainwashed him into behaving like them, and that he would never fit in with them because he is not a pony. He goes on to point out that even though Spike is small and cute, the ponies would never accept him once he gets to be full-grown.... The sheer size of him would scare everypony. Twilight and her friends, minus Fluttershy because of her fear of dragons, have followed Spike to make sure he will be alright, ready to intervene just like last time if something happens. Indeed, something does happen. After trying to get Spike to be a "real dragon", his father grows even more frustrated with him. Spike realizes that he will probably never fit in living amongst dragons, even as an adult. He tells his father that while he was very happy to finally discover more about his own family, he was perfectly happy living amongst the ponies and wishes to go back. This comes as a very big shock to his father. But instead of getting angry or disowning him, Spike's father tells him that if he really feels this is best, then he will wish Spike all the best and let him go, claiming that he wants his son to be happy. And if living amongst ponies will do this, then he will not stand in his way. He even tells Twilight to take good care of Spike, reassuring him that they will see each other again.
