Spike: [humming] [singing] Spike is great... making a jewel cake... [chewing]

Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Spike: Me, that's who. [singing] Been saving up my gems so fine... for a cake that is divine... [chewing]
Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Spike: Who are you hooing at?

Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Spike: I know, they're delicious.

[jewels rattling]

Spike: Now you see 'em, now you don't. [chewing] [belches] Mm! [singing] This is how you make a jewel cake: stir in some gems, and then you bake. [chewing] Mm-hmm! Gonna, eat, eat it up! Gonna– [gasps] What happened to all my jewels?! [drums claws] I had a bowl full of them here, and now I don't! Which means somebody took 'em!

Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Spike: Who? That's what I'm asking, who?! Who took my jewels?! Oh. I'm who. This cake was gonna be so good! Why? [thump] Why?! [gulps] Whyyyyyyyyy???!!!

Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Spike: [singing] I have no jewels... I have no cake... I'm a sad little dragon... With nothing to–

[knock on door]

Owlowiscious: [hoots]

Spike: ...is it?

[door opens]

Fluttershy: Oh! Oh goodness, I-I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Spike: Well... I do have this cake to not bake...

Fluttershy: Oh... sorry, it's a bad time.

Spike: Uh, inside joke. Talk to me.

Fluttershy: It's just that... Princess Cadance and Princess Chocolate Starlight needs us to do a great job welcoming the Head of the Equestria Games when she visits the Crystal Empire tomorrow–

Spike: Oh, I know all about that. As if I wouldn't be any help at welcoming...

Fluttershy: Oh, I don't know what was I thinking. Of course you might be upset for not being invited, and... here I am coming to ask you for a favor. You were probably going to say no anyway. All I had to offer you in exchange was one little jewel.

Spike: What was that?

Fluttershy: [yelps] All I have is this jewel.

Spike: [slurp] That's a really big one. A really big, juicy, perfect-for-a-cake-topper jewel.

Fluttershy: Does this mean you'll do it?

Spike: Yeah... Sure...

Fluttershy: Oh, thank you, thank you! So while I'm gone, you'll take care of Angel, and tomorrow is Tuesday, which is his tail-fluffing day, and it's really important for him to look good.

Spike: Wait, what? You want me to take care of him?

Angel: [blows raspberry]

Fluttershy: Oh, well, yes. But if it's too much trouble, I can always see if there is somepony else.

Spike: Uhh... We already agreed on the whole jewel thing, so I'll just...

Fluttershy: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Angel, aren't you just so excited?

Angel: [distressed squeaking]

Fluttershy: See you tomorrow.

Angel: [blows raspberry]

Spike: You know... She's not the only pony with a pet that might need some watching...
