Spike, are you saying you've betrayed me by befriending Thorax-!
Spike, how could you betray me and Equestria-
Wait a minute...This reminds me of something...
This is similar to what happened with me and Trixie. I wasn't willing to give her a chance at first.
I won't let the same mistakes I made with Trixie happen again with Thorax
--Spike, I'm so proud of you.--
--You're a celebrity here in the Crystal Empire...--
--...and you just risked all of it for a friend.--
--I can't imagine anything more brave.--
--...and if Spike says he's his friend...--
--...then he's my friend too.--
Thank you, Princess Twilight. You're welcome, Thorax. Sorry for misjudging you before because of my past with Chrysalis.
Glad to see you two came around so quickly once I accepted him.
