Prologue: Visiting the phoenix nests
Anypony....
...up for...
...a nice...
....game of....
....Ring around the Dragon?
That's what we call puberty.
Spike breaks out in stone scales
Trying to conceal yourself, aren't you, Spike?
"I can't believe you're still asleep!"
"Just five more minutes..."
"It's nearly noon, and you promised to help me with my lecture for class today!"
"Noon? Whoa!"
"I slept like a rock! Which reminds me..."
"...all that sleep probably cleared up my stone scale!"
"Um, on second thought..."
"You can go back to sleep if you want."
What type of face is that?
"Spike, what are you doing?"
"Hiding from my hideous face!"
"I'm sure it feels terrible, but it's just a breakout."
"It's not the end of the world."
"That's easy for you to say."
"Your face isn't covered in itchy red spots!"
Information: A stone scale is like a dragon's pimple or zit as you want to call it.
Ruined...
Well, at least nothing is incinerated.
Hiding the embarrassing blemishes
The School of Friendship tour
Spike and Smolder / The "molt"
"Leave me alone!"
Oh, no. What a mess! Ashes and all...
There goes the cleaning set!
"Why would I do that?"
Smolder explains the molt
"I love my brother and all..."
"...but one whiff, and I was all..."
"See ya!"
"Oh, I didn't say that."
Even Pinkie wants to eat him.
Getting help from Zecora
Green fire much?
Rarity's hearing problems
Spike and Zecora vs. the roc
Suddenly, a red glow engulfs his body after his words.
Rarity caught! / The molt worsens
"I wish you've escaped either claw of this bird,"
"But both of us trapped in the same one's absurd!"
"WHAT?!"
"Let my ponies go!" (Spike Moses)
"Yaaaaaaa-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooey!"
Scritchity-scratch, what can go wrong if you have a scratching tool?
The final stage of the molt
"This isn't the first time I've been in the clutches of a horrible giant creature..."
"...but it doesn't get any easier!"
"I didn't think that itching would ever stop."
What? SPIKE is evolving!
Spike's an Inhuman?
This cocoon is bound to the ground.
SPIKE is starting to evolve!
Congratulations! SPIKE evolved into WINGED SPIKE!
Thanks, M.A. - I mean, Josh Haber!
"I JUST SPROUTED WINGS!"
Spike the winged dragon
Too much.
"2 Bogeys 6 o Clock"
Look at these purple pals, it's all about wings!
First Twilight Sparkle and now Spike?
How unexpected!
Spike: Flak Fire!
You mess with them! You mess with ME!
Katon: Fire Ball Jutsu!
Burn, you big birdie, burn!
Let's go IRON MAN!
Chute is Loose! and the crowd goes wild!
Who needs a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner when you've got a roasted roc to eat?
The molt effect / It's okay to grow up
"Uh, I don't need to carry you anymore, do I?"
"You have wings."
"They are new, and I don't want to overdo it."
