Apple Jewel was playing happily with her cousins until she suddenly felt itchy
Screwball gasped: Jewel, you're glowing
Apple Jewel: What
She looked and saw her cuz was right, she kept scratching
Apple Jewel: Why won't it stop
Gemstone: I'll get help
Gem ran out of the playroom that was in their Everfree Castle, the rest of the cousins gaped at Jewel's condition and wished there was some way to help her, Gemstone came back with their mothers and Applejack gasped at what was happening to her daughter
Applejack: Jewel, Sweetie
She held her girl, but Jewel was scratching uncontrollably
Apple Jewel: Help me, Mommy
Applejack: I, I don't know how I can, sweetheart, nothing has ever happened like this before
Suddenly, Spike's voice cried out
Spike: Help
He rushed in and was glowing, too
Spike: What's happening to me
Applejack gasped: You too
Apple Jewel: Daddy, I'm glowing and I'm itchy
Spike: So am I, honey
He scratched some of his scales
Rarity turned to Twilight
Rarity: What can this mean
Shining Shield: What's happening to them, Mom
Twilight: I, I, I honestly don't know, I don't know what's wrong with them
Discord suddenly popped in wearing doctor's attire and had Spike and Jewel on separate exam tables
Discord: Stand back and let the doctor do his job
He had them hooked up to machines that monitored their heartbeats
Fluttershy worried: Oh, honey, can you really find the source of their glowing
Discord: Glowing, I'm trying to figure out why they're itching, dragons only glow when the Dragon Lord is summoning them to the Dragon Lands
Twilight suspiciously: And, you know this how
Discord: Twilight, Twilight, I have traveled all over Equestria in my pre- and post-stone days, I have seen this happening with other dragons when the Dragon Lord uses that glow to summon his subjects, it only stops when the dragon goes to see the Dragon Lord
Spike: So, we have no choice but to go see this Dragon Lord
Discord: Afraid so, but I think it'd be best you went on your own in this matter, ponies aren't welcome in Dragon Land, so you would be putting us in senseless danger
Spike: Aren't you technically part-dragon
Discord: I have extraordinary powers that allow me to be free of the Dragon Lord's summoning
Applejack: But what about Jewel, she's half-pony and yet she's glowing like a light beacon
Discord shrugged: Who knows how genetics work in Equestria, Screwball is half-draconequus and yet she looks like a pony except for her eyes, Jewel looks like a pony, but she has characteristics of a dragon, the fangs, the fire breath, and now the glowing
Spike: I guess, I have to take her to the Dragon Lord, too
