There are universally known facts in the world, such as a fish needs water, a carnivore needs meat, unicorns need frequent quiet times, earth ponies need lots of food, and pegasi need lots of space. In fact, confining a pegasus in a small space for long periods of time is a recipe for disaster. Case in point, Rainbow Dash wrecking her room due to a sheer panic attack and zipping back and forth in blurs of colors after being stuck on a boat for many days.

“Aaaaauuugghhhhhhh~ Why is this taking so long!?” groans Rainbow Dash. She runs to the round window of the ship and presses her hoofs against the cold, lifeless steel wall, pressing her snout against said window as she looks longingly at the open sky. “How much longer are we going to be on this tub!?”

Fluttershy has the misfortune of sharing a room with Rainbow Dash, and she has a bucket next to her bed, which is a good thing since her face has turned green no thanks to the boat's rocking. Like clockwork, the boat will tip one way, and then groan and tip the other way, and foamy water will splash against the window, pushing the boat back the other way. How Rainbow Dash is not sick from this is leaving Fluttershy just a bit envious, but between being sick and angry she would honestly pick being sick. There are more sympathy points for being sick.

“We should be close to the... The...” Fluttershy's cheeks puff and she dips her head in the bucket and releases a horrid sound of sloshy, chunky, liquid that splashes inside the bucket. When she pulls back, her face is still green and her mane is hanging in front of her face like ripped string and her pupils are tiny dots. “Oh goodness, I-I don't think I can take much more of this...”

And as if the universe has heard the pain of the pair, the boat's horn blares, bringing the two to jump and for Fluttershy to almost knock over her bucket of vomit. Luckily she catches it and hurries it off to the bathroom.

“Don't forget to flush that,” says Rainbow Dash.

Then the door swings opens and Twilight jumps in, smiling bright like a polished diamond in sunlight.

“Good news! We're nearing the island!” says Twilight.

“Finally,” huffs Rainbow Dash.

There is another gagging and disgusting splashing, followed by a flush, and Fluttershy staggers out of the bathroom, still green and having to use the wall for support.

“Can I have some medicine?” asks Fluttershy weakly, looking at Twilight with watery eyes.

“You'll be fine,” says Twilight.

The alicorn's horn glows and the door slams shut, and Fluttershy's ears droop.

“Oh... Okay...” she says.

Applejack is laying on her back on her bed, stetson covering her eyes and her hoofs over her barrel, fully relaxed from the gentle rocking of the boat. Or she was until the horn blew, and now she can hear Rarity's hoofs clip clopping back and forth at a fast pace, and she can also hear the sparkly humming fairy fru-fru sound Rarity's horn makes when she is using her magic.

“This is so exciting! I can't wait to get pictures!” says Rarity. “Sweetie Belle would love to see all the exotic animals and flowers. I wonder if they will let me take a flower or two back? She was already jealous of me going without her, but next year when this is actually open then I will definitely take her.”

“We ain't even done anything yet,” says Applejack. “For all we know this could just be a big scam and the petting zoo is just a bunch of bird cages and fake lizards.”

Applejack's hat is lifted off her head by Rarity's aura, and the farmer gets a full view of the fashionista's purple eyes and curly lavender mane, and a nose full of her expensive lilac perfume.

“Don't be a pessimist,” says Rarity. “This is a great opportunity for us to actually do something without our lives being in danger for once. I mean, it is a petting zoo. What's the worst that can happen?”

Applejack snatches her hat back. “The doc said the place is a mix of a theme park, zoo and petting zoo, and I admit I want it work, but to say that everything is fine without actually inspecting anything is asking for trouble.”

The door suddenly flies open and Twilight barges in, knocking over a stack of Rarity's luggage without a care.

“We're about to dock!” says Twilight, and then she leaps out and slams the door shut with her magic, leaving the two occupants to stare at the door.

“Thanks for knocking,” mutters Applejack.

Tempest Shadow is laying on her bed, hoofs pressed firmly in the mattress and her eyes sliding side to side as she reads a complementary book that was stuffed in the dresser drawer of her and Pinkie's room. So far she has felt only regret in reading the abysmally boring work of literature; but then again she has never liked William Quillpen's stories and books being adapted after his godawful plays was a disaster she should have seen coming. However, reading kills time, and time is boring, so it all boils down to a big whatever. And as Tempest reads this particular story of some king who got betrayed by his bratty daughters, she hears Pinkie Pie bouncing around and talking, but she has not been paying attention to a single thing she has said. In fact, she has not been paying attention to anything.

“Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,” says Pinkie Pie.

“Mhm,” hums Tempest as she flips the page of her book.

“Blah blah. Blaaaaaah. Blah blah blah. Blah blah. Blah.”

“Yep.”

“Blah blah blah. Blah?”

“Sure.”

Suddenly, pink hoofs wrap around her neck and she is pulled in for a hug that nearly pulls her off the bed and squeezes the air out of her.

“Yay! I knew you would say yes!” says Pinkie Pie, her fluffy cheek rubbing against Tempest's rough cheek.

Tempest gags and tries to pry Pinkie Pie off of her, but she is quickly reminded of the notorious earth pony strength. “What are you talking about?”

Then the door bangs against the wall and Twilight slides in.

“Girls, we're about to-” Twilight stops and her ears and wings perk as she looks at Pinkie Pie nuzzling Tempest. “Oh... Am I interrupting-?”

“Yes. Get lost,” says Tempest sharply.

“Oh... We're about to dock.”

“I heard. Get out. Now.”

“Right. Bye!”

Twilight closes the door, and Tempest looks at Pinkie out of the corner of her eye, mostly because she cannot move her head since they are still cheek to cheek.

“You can let go of me now,” says Tempest.

“But I like your cheek. Its like rubbing a beard,” says Pinkie.

Tempest's broken horn sparks and Pinkie Pie slides away from her.

“I think I'm going to get ready for some exploration.”

Twilight scampers on to the deck of the ship, her pearly white teeth exposed from her wide grin, her wings at full mast, and her hoofs rapidly tapping against the deck as she paces back and forth, whimpering with excitement and gazing at the majestic island. Lush tropical trees cover its towering jagged mountains, surrounding the green island are many jagged rocks of all shapes and sizes each with a small red light on them, and waiting for the boat is a simple dock with a red roofed, white lighthouse overlooking it. The dock also has a small block shaped building, and behind that is a large wall with thick gates and a pair of bulky lights covered in grates and a round cap.

“You haven't seen anything, yet,” says Test Tube as he approaches Twilight. “I spared no expenses with this park, so my investors will definitely be getting their money's worth plus some.”

“This is great! What kind of animals will we see?” asks Twilight.

Test Tube smirks. “That would ruin the surprise. But with a mare like yourself who values science, I can guarantee you that you will love it.”

“Oh, I can't wait!”

The rest of the group walks on the deck, each cringing in their own way when the horn blows again.

“Can't I just fly over there?” asks Rainbow Dash.

“Nope. Security will have you in a net quicker than you can blink,” says Test Tube.

Rainbow Dash scoffs. “As if.”

“All of the island security is ex military, ex law enforcement, or professional hunters. My Lead Security Officer actually successfully bagged the world's largest chupacabre! He has it on display at the Griffinstone Museum.”

“Your security seems a bit excessive for a petting zoo,” says Tempest.

“And a theme park,” adds Applejack.

Test Tube shrugs. “What can I say? Safety first.” Then he looks at Fluttershy, who is leaning over the railing, her green face hidden by the sweaty pink locks of her mane and a groan leaving her lips. “What's her deal?”

“She's sea sick,” says Rainbow Dash.

“Ah, she'll be fine,” says Test Tube with a dismissive wave.

Fluttershy hiccups.

“So for the order of business,” says Test Tube. “We dock, we check in, and I show you a few great things and then its lunch, then more great things, and then dinner, maybe one more great thing if we have time, and then bed. The next day we explore the island some more. Rinse repeat. All until the next boat arrives five days from now.”

“Are there gift shops?” asks Pinkie Pie.

“Yes,” says Test Tube. “Five, in fact. One for each section of the park.”

Pinkie Pie grins and rubs her hoofs. “Excellent.”

Several minutes later the boat successfully glides towards the dock, where a scrawny griffin swoops in and uses a rope to tie the boat down. A ramp is then pushed to the boat and the group trots on down, except for Rainbow Dash who has decided to fly off and land in front of everyone, giving the irritated guards a smug look with her feathers and fluff puffed out to display her pride in the stunt. Pinkie Pie also has decided to forgo the ramp entirely and leaps over the railing, bounces on top of Rainbow Dash's head, thus pushing her into the dock, and gallops ahead towards the small building by the gate.

She slides to a stop and spins to face the group, grinning ear to ear. “FIRST!”

Twilight smiles and shakes her head, and as she and the rest of her group walks towards the building Test Tube leans close to her.

“She's certainly excited,” he says.

“It's easy to get her excited,” says Twilight.

“Well I'm going to remind you that safety is very important here. We can't have her running off like that or your friend-” Test Tube looks at Rainbow Dash “-flying where she shouldn't.”

Rainbow Dash returns his look with a roll of her eyes, and when they reach the short building they are guided inside by Test Tube. There they are met with a very bland room with a ceiling fan, small tropical trees in the corner, and a bored griffin sitting in a booth with metal grates over the window. Above the window is a simple sign that reads: CHECK IN

“Here is where we check in,” says Test Tube. “We turn in the tickets here, and print and sign and date in the book. Give it a try.”

Twilight goes up first and smiles at the griffin, who is old and frail and meets her optimistic smile with a near blank stare.

“Hi! I'm here for the inspection,” says Twilight.

“Tickets, please,” says the griffin.

“Eh... We didn't get any.”

“The old coot is finally learning,” says Test Tube.

He puts down a small stack of tickets, one for each member of the party, and the old griffin slides a book towards them. As they sign in, Tempest presses her hoof against the metal grates, followed by taping her hoof against the concrete barrier and the steel door leading to the ticket room. This brings Test Tube to raise a brow.

“Is there a problem, Ms. Shadow?” asks Test Tube.

“What are you hiding on this island?” asks Tempest.

Test Tube scowls. “The only thing I am hiding are the animals, which you all will love when you actually see them. You might even love our main attraction.”

Tempest hums skeptically and Rarity approaches Test Tube after she signs the guest book.

“The workers, do they live here?” asks Rarity.

“Yes. One year contracts,” replies Test Tube. “But we are currently operating on a skeleton crew. A couple of Chefs, a couple of security, and our facility maintenance team. Oh, and a few interns from various universities.”

“Unionized?”

“Of course! Unions are mandatory under griffin law.”

“Insurance?”

“Mandatory under griffin law.”

“Paid vacation and sick leave?”

“Griffin law.”

“What about communications?”

“We have radio towers and a mail boat that arrives on a weekly basis.”

Rarity smiles. “You thought of everything, haven't you?”

Test Tube returns the smile. “I have. Is everyone signed in?”

“I signed in calligraphy!” boasts Pinkie Pie.

“That's nice. Let's head outside.”

The group is led outside and immediately spot a convoy of four vehicles, all painted in yellow tinted camouflage with thick wheels and rectangular features. Their roofs are open and all of them have large headlights, and on their doors is a logo with DINO-PARK written in white inside a black bar. Behind the black bar is a red circle with a white dinosaur skull on it. Each vehicle also has a driver waiting for them, with one in particular catching all of their eyes.

This griffin has a solid build with height and muscle, is colored black with white tipped wings and white spots peppering his plumage, and he is wearing a simple safari hat and has a belt of pouches slung around his chest, which includes a sheathed knife and a box with a red “+” on it. The vehicle he is leaning against has in its passenger seat a large rifle with a fat scope, a revolving chamber a suppressor on the barrel, and “SECURITY” in bold red letters is painted next to the park logo on the door.

When the girls see him, they all stare at him with various levels of intrigue with Rarity not being shy about her nearly drooling over his physique. However, Fluttershy is unfortunately having to use one of the vehicles for support, so she only gets to see the gravel.

“This is my Lead Security Officer, Guillermo da Costa Castell,” says Dr. Rack. “He specializes in killing things and keeping order in the park.”

“Ladies, it is nice to have you here,” says Guillermo. He steps forward and shakes each of their hoofs, getting their names in the process, but when he is by Fluttershy he looks at her quizzically and keeps his talons away. “What's wrong with you?”

“She's sea sick,” says Rainbow Dash.

“We got some medicine at the guest center that should help with that.”

Fluttershy barely lifts a wing for a wave. “Thank you.”

“Please, everyone pick a jeep,” says Test Tube. “I promise none of the drivers bite.”

So the girls all get in their vehicles, with Pinkie and Tempest taking the one in the back, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy taking the next one up, Twilight and Test Tube taking the one after, and Rarity nearly leaping into the security vehicle Guillermo is driving. Applejack is the last one to pick a vehicle, and she decides to hitch a ride with Rarity, but unlike Rarity she does not leap inside. Rather she goes in with some dignity.

“So, Guillermo,” purrs Rarity as she leans out of her seat, nearly going cheek to cheek with the griffin. “That's an interesting name for a griffin. Where are you from?”

“Iberia,” replies Guillermo as he starts the engine.

“Are you single? Surely a good looking griffin like yourself can't be single. Who's the lucky lady?”

Guillermo looks at Applejack. “Is she always like this?”

“Yep,” says Applejack. She adjusts her posture to be more refined and flashes an easygoing smile. “But ya ain't gotta worry about me. I ain't like that... At all... Nope. Not at all.”

Guillermo shoulders slouch. “Great.”

In the back of the convoy, Tempest sits in the front passenger seat, ignoring the uneasy stare the griffin driver is giving her. Rather her attention is focused on the rear view mirror, watching Pinkie's tail swish as she digs into the trunk.

“First aid, map, signal flare, signal flare, food bars, aaaaaand... Ha! Bi-Noc-U-Lars!” says Pinkie Pie. She turns around with the binoculars over her eyes and looks at Tempest. “You got dirt on your face.”

Tempest knocks the binoculars out of Pinkie's hoofs.

“Now that was uncalled for,” says Pinkie Pie.

Fluttershy gulps down a bottle of water given to her by her driver, and then rests her head against the door, sighing and shivering.

“Are you sure I'm just sea sick?” asks Fluttershy.

“Yeah, you were fine until you got on the boat. You'll live, trust me,” says Rainbow Dash. She leans half of her body out to look down the line of vehicles. “Come on come on come on. What's taking so long?”

The driver starts the vehicle and Rainbow Dash grins and bangs on the door.

“Yes! Put some gas in this thing! I want to see it fly!”

“Can we go nice and steady, please?” asks Fluttershy.

“But that'll be boring!”

“I like boring, though.”

The driver sighs, reaches over to the front passenger seat, and puts a stetson on Fluttershy's head.

“There you go. That'll keep the light out of your eyes and I'll go slow so you'll be able to get a quick nap on the road,” says the driver.

“Thank you,” says Fluttershy.

“Yeah yeah, that's nice and all, but what's taking so long with these people?” complains Rainbow Dash. She looks down the line again and stretches her neck out. “Hey, move it! We're burning daylight!”

In Twilight's vehicle, she is sitting next to Test Tube in the back seat. She has her hoofs hooked on the back of the front passenger seat and is looking at the security vehicle impatiently.

“What is he waiting for?” asks Twilight.

“He does this all the time,” says Dr. Rack. “He is the kind of griffin that will wait until his favorite song is over before doing anything.”

Then the security vehicle starts to pull forward and the metal gate in front of them slides open. Its opening is surprisingly smooth, barely making a sound as it goes across the ground, and the mud splashes around the tires when the vehicle drives off the docking area and into the dirt road.

After a couple of minutes of driving down the road, passing thick trees with large leafs hanging them to provide shade, they come across a massive wooden double door towering thirty feet high with two large lit torches on top that have an arch connecting them that reads: DINO-PARK.

Such a sight sucks the air right out of Twilight's lungs.

“You like that, don't you?” says Test Tube proudly. “The fire inspector was a real pain for that feature, but we got it to work.”

“That. Is. Cool! I wish I had a camera!”

The vehicles come to a stop, giving the doors enough time to slide open. They groan loudly, but each passing second grows Twilight's smile, and when the doors are fully open the vehicles proceed. The road turns from dirt and mud to pavement after that, and on either side of the road are two sharp inclined gray rock walls with thin green lines like blood veins covering them. Beyond that, miles of open green hills blessed with the light of a rising sun and a warm wind brushing through the grass.

“That is also cool. I have never seen rocks like that before,” says Twilight, completely fixated on the rocks rather than the open scenery.

“Ah, yes, those rocks are beautiful,” says Test Tube. “When we were constructing the park we had to demolish thousands of tons of them. We reused what we could for cosmetics and what we couldn't use we sold. They are quite valuable.”

Twilight giggles. “Now you are just showing off.”

Test Tube shrugs. “What can I say? I'm proud of what I built.”

Tempest is not easily impressed. She has seen many things over the years, a lot of which was mediocre or downright stupid. The stuff she was usually impressed with usually nearly killed her, but today is different. Today she is impressed by a large door. She does not know why, but that DINO-PARK double door entrance has her eyes wide and the wet wipe she is using to clean her face falls out of her magical grip. Why she is this impressed by a door she may never know, but right now she wishes she had her camera. But it is currently locked away in her travel case, which she did not pack therefore it does not have all the pieces. One of Celestia's slaves did the packing, and she had to redo her travel case on the boat to be organized how she likes it. Luckily what was packed of her camera didn't break or else heads would have been severed.

But cameras and heads aside. Door. Big. Cool. Tempest likes it. Maybe she can get a group picture with her, Pinkie and Twilight standing in front of it before they leave.

“Whoa, stop the car! Hold on a second!” says Pinkie Pie in a fit of panic, leaning out the vehicle with perked ears and a stiff posture.

“Sorry, we got to keep going. We have a schedule and Dr. Rack likes his schedules,” says the driver.

“What is it?” says Tempest, her slack jawed whimsical face now replaced with worry.

Pinkie Pie points at the rock wall they are driving past. “Those rocks are ampelosites!”

“So?”

“Ampelosites are also called 'Unicorns Curse' because they are stones that produce a natural magic nullification field around them which means the more ampelosites are around the weaker a unicorn's magic becomes which is why ampelosites are used for horn cuffs and are heavily regulated in Equestria and if there is that many ampelosites in this area then that means this island is probably loaded with them which means Twilight, Rarity and you will have a hard time using your magic if at all! You probably won't be able to levitate anything heavier than a book!”

Tempest looks ahead and furrows her brows. “That's interesting.”

“Uh... I just want to say, I had no idea about this,” says the driver. “I'm just an intern.”

Tempest slowly looks at him, and he tightens his grip on the steering wheel.

“I'll keep driving,” says the intern.

“If you ever want to visit Equestria I know my way around every major city,” says Rarity, still leaning over so she has a good look at Guillermo. “I also know the best restaurants and stores, and have a personal relationship with Princess Celestia and Luna themselves!”

Guillermo exhales heavily, but stays quiet.

“Not everypony wants to see big cities,” counters Applejack. “'Sides, he's more of a country guy. I can tell. He likes the rustic life style and the country girls. Ain't that right?”

Applejack pushes Rarity out of the way, and bats her lashes at the griffin, and smiling playfully at him while the tip of her tail flicks.

“I think this is an inappropriate conversation,” says Guillermo.

“I'm just having a friendly talk,” says Applejack. “By the way, I got a barn. Its big. You'll love it. And I'm really good at making pies and taking care of my guests.”

“And I'm all that, plus rich and beautiful,” says Rarity.

“Ya couldn't make a pie if your mane depended on it!”

“On the contrary, my dear Applejack, I actually took baking lessons.”

Guillermo sulks in his seat. “Why me?”

Fluttershy is pressed against the door, and she has her eyes closed and covered by the stetson, plus her wings are covering her tightly curled body to shield her and the hat from the wind. She still feels light headed and like her stomach is spinning, and now she is getting a pain in her lower back that she is hoping is because of her position. This discomfort is not made any better when Rainbow Dash begins poking her quick and hard, and despite her doing her best to ignore the hard jabs against her ribs and shoulders it becomes increasingly more difficult with every poke.

“Oh, look at the door!” says Rainbow Dash.

Poke-poke-poke.

“Look at the door!”

Poke-poke-poke.

“Come on, Flutters, you're going to miss the door!”

With a heavy groan, Fluttershy reluctantly uncurls herself and looks up just in time to see the arch overhead, and when she turns her head to see the door shutting she curls back in her seat.

“That was lovely,” says Fluttershy.

“You didn't even see it,” mutters Rainbow Dash.

Twilight has her nose buried in a map she found in the back of the jeep. From what the map is telling her the island is 120 miles long and sixty miles at its widest point, it has a tear dropped shaped with a collection of mountains on the back, plains near the front (which also has the dock), and a small rain forest to the east and a bay to the west. Granted, the whole island is not developed, but each area that is is walled off and the map has the roads marked, as well as attractions, visitor centers and other structures of importance. Needless to say, getting five days to explore the facility actually seems to be too little of amount of time for a thorough investigation now that Twilight actually has a grasp of what has been built.

“How did you get the money to build this?” asks Twilight, her eyes focusing on the “Safari” section, which includes a cafeteria and a small visitor center.

“I have a lot of investors,” replies Test Tube. “It also helps to have a good reputation in this sort of field, but I need more than just my reputation to get this park open.”

He then leans over and points at the radio built into the dashboard.

“Gary, radio please,” says Test Tube.

The driver gives him the radio, and after he grabs it he points towards rolling hills off the road that have a thirty foot fence with thick cords between the posts and coils up top. The vehicle then takes a steady turn, giving Twilight a small bump when it bounces off the road and begins its journey through the lush green grass.

“Guillermo and team, it is time for the first attraction,” says Test Tube.

“Copy that,” says Guillermo over the radio.

The remaining vehicles follow Test Tube's lead through the field, each bumping a bit as they go off the road.

“One of the attractions will be a safari, which will be unlike anything in the world!” claims Test Tube. “The interns will basically ferry the guests around the designated area and everybody will see the animals. I also made sure they were perfectly harmless. Their sizes might surprise you, though.”

The vehicles stop in front of the gate in the wall, and when it slides open they go through one by one and travel for a few more minutes before they glide to a stop. As they slow down, Twilight's eyes get wider and her heart beats faster with a pressure building in her chest and throat.

The ground thumps, and thumps again, and Twilight brings her hoof up to cover her smile and choked laugh. The ground thumps again and a gentle, yet loud, call shakes her ears, bringing her eyes to mist over and her hoofs to tremble.

“This can't be real,” says Twilight.

Tempest Shadow's orchid colors have paled, and her back is pressed hard against the seat. Despite wanting to see anything other than what is in front of her, her eyes refuse to break away from it. She barely registers Pinkie Pie sticking her face next to hers and having her puffy pink mane brushing her cheek. Pinkie Pie is also speechless, and that is a terrible sign for Tempest.

Fluttershy's ear twitches with the thump, and then her ear twitches again as another thump shakes her. She cracks her eyes open and peeks out from her wing, and immediately perks up. Rainbow Dash has hooked herself on the bar of the jeep and her wings have come to full mast, but she does not move while Fluttershy scrambles out of the jeep and follows Twilight when she exits her jeep. As the two fight their bodies to keep from running they have to crane their necks and tilt their heads back to get a good look at the fifty foot creature.

The massive, quadruped reptile with a thick body, incredibly long neck and a small head walks past them without a care, its columnar legs moving with grace and its long muscular tail kept straight as it walks. Its loud yet gentle call shakes Fluttershy to the bone, and she falls to her haunches pointing at it with looking at Twilight, completely breathless with a smile on her face.

“Its a dinosaur,” stammers Fluttershy. “Its a real brachiosauraus.”

“Look at the height! A-a-and its neck and tail! Down to the book!” Twilight traces the body with her hoof. “Cold blooded, thick hide, the trunk is huge, the legs are perfectly portioned for its height and weight, this has to be an adult. A living, breathing, healthy adult brachiosauraus!”

It makes a call again and approaches tall, slender trees that exceed its height, and Fluttershy laughs and brings her hoofs to her mouth as her wings flutter.

“That is amazing. I can't believe this is real,” says Fluttershy softly.

Fluttershy then gasps and pulls Twilight close to her when the brachiosauraus stands on its hind legs to reach the upper leafs of the tree. Its stretches its slender neck, grabs a mouthful of leafs and pulls. The tree bends and groans, and when the branches snap loose the tree swings back and the dinosaur brings its legs down, shaking the earth with a massive thud that rattles the vehicles and everyone's body.

Twilight and Fluttershy can barely breathe at this point from what they have seen, and when they hear distant calls of the same type they look in the distance and see a herd of brachiosaurauses and other smaller dinosaurs by a body of water, swimming and drinking.

“This place is a gold mine,” says Rarity.

They didn't even see her or Applejack or the rest of the group (minus Tempest) walk up to them with Test Tube, but the girls stay back while the griffin stands next to Twilight.

“Princess Twilight, welcome to Dino-Park,” says Dr. Rack.

“How did you do this?” asks Twilight breathlessly.

Test Tube gives her shoulder a light squeeze. “I'll show you.”

No amount of writing can do that scene justice.
