I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
Well, I do have this cake to not bake.
Oh, sorry.
It's a bad time.
Inside joke, talk to me.
It's just that Princess Cadence needs us to do a great job
of the Equestria games welcoming the head

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

Of course, you might be upset for not being invited,
and here I am coming to ask you for a favor.

All I had to offer you in exchange
was one little jewel.
Ah! What was that?
All I have is this jewel.
That's a really big one.
A really big, juicy,
perfect for a cake-topper jewel.
Does this mean you'll do it?
Yeah, sure.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
you'll take care of Angel, So while I'm gone,
which is his tail fluffing day. and tomorrow is Tuesday,
And it's really important for him to look good.
Wait, what? You want me to take care of him?
Oh, well, yes.
But if it's too much trouble,
if there's somepony else. I can always see
Uh…
We already agreed
on the whole jewel thing so I'll just…
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Angel, aren't you just so excited?
See you tomorrow.

something to think about. then maybe that's just
Tank's not some fuzzy little bunny.
He can take care of himself.
and totally together pet. He's a strong, fearless
All right, you can watch him.
But only because, uh…
Tank's got a strict flying regimen
and someone needs to make sure
that he doesn't slack off while I'm gone.
Oh.
You know, the two of us are very diligent.
Okay, whatever.
Yes, yes. And more importantly, as for Opal,
she likes to eat every 36 and a half minutes.

her pillow out in the middle, And don't forget to pooch
that's where she likes it.
And the temperature in the room
should always be exactly 81.4 degrees.

Hmm, oh, good. And, um…
So thanks for your help and good luck to you.
I think the dragon was expecting
a little something for his efforts.
as the pony who gave it to me. Almost as beautiful
Shouldn't you be critter-proofing
the library or something? Tank has a tendency to…
Critter-proofing.
I'll get right on that. Yeah,
Three down, three to go.
What's that you said, Gummy?

about that one.
Ask me! Ask me!
Go ahead, ask her.

Hmm. Mm-hm, yeah.
Why didn't you say so?
I'll get you a bigger pond immediately.
I think what Gummy's trying to say is…
He's always wanted a pair of riding pants?
a new coat of shellack? His toenails need
He wants to floss twice a day instead of just once?
I think what Gummy is trying to say
a little Spike time. is that he'd like
Spike time is the best. Who wouldn't?
Alas, it doesn't come cheap.
All I'm saying
is that you might wanna think about a helmet.
You only wanna get hit in the head
by a flying turtle once.
A thousand plus carats of pure deliciousness.
Looks like you got a regular pet day care in here, Spike.
You'll still be able to get some good playtime

Spike, take care of this, would you please?
You got it.
So, what're you thinking

That would be nice.
You sure you don't already have your hands full?
Ah, pshaw. I'll be fine.

I've gotta give priority to the paying customers.
You're absolutely sure you can do this?

He does seem to like us.
And we hadn't exactly figured out
how we're going to pull off this whole skydiving thing.
As hard as it's gonna be You know what?
with these little guys, for me to part
I think you should probably just take all of them.
If you ask me,
the more critters you take care of,
the more chances you have of getting
some kind of critter-sitting Cutie Mark.
Am I right?
Or am I right?
Sure.
Yes. But wait.
How are we gonna take good care of them

One jewel might be able to cover it all.
Uh, what would I possibly be doing with jewels?
I happen to know for a fact
that Applejack gave you a gem to watch Winona.
Which means…
Obviously no one around here is getting a Cutie Mark
for kindness towards a poor, hungry little dragon.
Take it or leave it.
We'll take it.

He would have had fun here.
