The Spike’s Search episode is 10 minutes long and it was the second story in the second series of My Little Pony 'n Friends. This aired in the US on 11th September 1987

Synopsis

The episode starts off with the baby ponies playing volley ball. The ball bounces away and when Spike goes to hit the ball back he sneezes, breathing a large flame through the net which scares all the baby ponies away. Megan tells him not to worry about the flames size as it’ll become more powerful as he grows. He continues to sneeze flames and runs off. Spike feels the thing he needs to help him is to learn how to be a dragon from other dragons. Danny joins Spike on his quest to find other dragons and they meet a baby eagle called Weston who doesn’t know how to fly yet and has been separated from his parents. The bird joins them and they find some monster looking dragons sitting around a campfire. Spike sends the others on to find Weston’s parents while he goes off and talks to them. Spike asks to join their campfire dragon group. They’re reluctant as first then they test him or rather trick him by going to a city, destroying it and stealing their food. Spike knows this isn’t right but goes along with it anyays. Danny and Weston are watching what’s happing and go back to Paradise Estate to get help. Locket flies to the camp to see what the dragons are up to. Spike tells the dragons about the little ponies and the dragons go for a visit. Locket let’s the ponies know they’re going to visit Dream Valley and the ponies put on a welcome for the dragons with a spread of food. While they’re eating Danny and the ponies spring floods of water at the dragons. The dragons leave complaining about the ponies. Then Weston’s parents return. Spike releases that Dream Valley is where he belongs after a peep talk from Danny and he’ll meet the right dragons to help him one day.

Someone to look up too

Someone to look up too
My goal is just the same
Someone who will help me to learn
To tame my dragon's flame
