"It's okay Spike. I can understand how you can worry about that. But one thing you don't ever have to worry about is how we feel about you. Whether you are a dog, dragon, a little baby or as big as a castle we will always love you Spike and I know every girl feels the same way," She finishes wiping her now puffy red eyes and gives me her old smile I love to see on her face. "At least take some comfort that you don't have to worry about becoming a giant monster anymore. That was something that dragons do to show their dominance and to protect their hoards."
