Hey guys,
Just a warning that there's gonna be a sad moment and a song that belongs to it's rightful owners One Direction.
Other than that hope you enjoyed the chapter and images.
Rhino out!
Over the last few weeks Sail has been spending time getting to know everyone in gang, he had an amazing time bucking apples and tasting cider for the first time. Making Cupcakes with Pinkie Pie was messy and he got covered in icing. Had an amazing time hunting with the dinosaurs. Thorax, Spike, Discord and Big Mac treated him to an amazing guys night. The Cutie Mark Crusaders showed him what they do for a living. He got covered in feathers and that took ages for Fluttershy to wash them off, Rainbow Dash gave him a few races and took it nice and easy for him since he wasn't that fast. Now when spent time with Rarity...... He did not enjoy the outfits. So Sail got to spend time with everyone except for one.... Rexy, Rexy knows to give Sail a chance. He is just finding it hard to do it still.
In the Castle Twilight, Spike and Starlight are organising books.... Again She is having an amazing time because well... It's Twilight, as for Spike and Starlight....... They are living their worst nightmare for the one thousandth time. As they are sorting the books, the door opens and Sail enters the room. "Hey Twilight.... What are you guys doing?" Twilight has a smirk that Spike knows far too well.
"Sail just the guy I need... Could you do me a favour?" She asks him
"Um sure.... What is it?" He responds in confusion, when he asks he sees that Spike and Starlight are shaking their heads with frightened faces.

"Could you hold this pile of books for me while I organise this shelf?" She levitates a huge pile into his claws and Sail has a squidward face.
"Why didn't see that coming?" He asks himself. As the day goes on the assistants of organising day are soooooooooooooooooo tired and bored. Even the dinosaur is annoyed with this that he wishes that a miracle could get him out of this. Suddenly the door knocks and Spike jumps from being so tired.
"Sail could you get the door please?" Starlight asks him with her mane messed up and face on the table. Sail puts down the books and slowly makes his way towards the door and opens it to see, Sweetie Belle there with a kind smile. As soon as he sees her he shuts the door because he thinks he's dreaming, when he opens it again he knows he isn't dreaming.
"Hey Sail, I wanted to see if you wanted to come and have a walk with me? I could show you around more of Ponyville." She asks with a hint of sparks in her eyes. Sail is happy, but then remembers what he has to do and replies with a frown.
"Oh sorry Sweetie Belle.... But Twilight is making me, Starlight and Spike organise the whole Library so I have to say n-" before he can finish the sentence Starlight nudges him out of the castle.
"Of course he can.. we aren't too busy. Go on Sail and have a nice time." She winks as way to say "Save yourself" Sail mouths a thank you and they both head off to spend some time together. Sweetie Belle shows him the school where they used to go to on many adventures. He finds it quite amazing. Then they go to Cake's house and treat themselves to a nice milkshake, though they didn't get any peace due to the fact Pinkie was working there today. After seeing many things there's just one more place she wants to show him and leads him through the trees by Sweet Apple Acres.
When they arrive Sail sees a treehouse with a lot of papers and cutie mark drawings inside. But he has to see that through the window, because of his size. "Hey Sweetie Belle... What is this place?"
"This is the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse where me, Scootaloo and Applebloom always tried to think of ways to get our cutie marks and help other fillies with their problems." She sighs as she finishes her response remembering all the good times they had when they were young. Sail sees a small tear stream down her face and gives her a small nuzzle on the cheek, she blushes a little from the nice gesture.
"It's okay Sail... Just happy memories."
"I understand at least you have good memories. I have horrible memories of being mistreated. But I'm glad that I'll have happy memories soon, because I met you" He blushes a little from being close to her. Sweetie Belle smiles and suggest that they keep going because it's getting late. He agrees and they make their way back to the castle.

As they made their way back, then sun had started to set over the mountains near Ponyville. The moon made an appearance with stars shining brightly in the sky, among the villages ponies were settling in for night, shops closing up for the night and many creatures were heading to their homes. Sail was really smiling because he had never had a friend like Sweetie Belle, he felt a warm feeling inside him. His heart was skipping a beat every time he looked at her, the unicorn that saved his life was giving a smile that none of her friends had seen for a long time. A smile of appreciation of friendship, as they were about to speak Sweetie Belle bumps into a brown stallion with a propeller hat. When she looks up she frowns a little and gets up slowly. "Um.... Hi Button" she says with not much enthusiasm in her tone.
The stallion looks at her wondering why she always acts like this, the dinosaur is very confused on what's going on? "Oh Hi Sweetie Belle, how you been since those months ago?" He asks with a hint of tease in the voice of a bully. Sweetie Belle starts to tear up a small bit from that question.
"Oh um..... Been okay, but you know........ Sad" She responds.
"I see" He says while looking at Sail because he hasn't seen anything like him before. The Spinosaurus stares at him while trying to keep his cool, but while staring he scraps his toe claws against the pavement.
"Who or what in Celestia is that?" He questions with a mean smile. Sweetie Belle doesn't look at the stallion because she is so hurt from what happened.
"This is Sail, my new friend from the Everfree Forest" she responds. Button Mash laughs a little and after wiping a tear off his face. He looks at the pony and raises her chin with a hoof to look into his eyes, and what he says next is something Sweetie Belle will never forget that easily.
"See Sweetie Belle.... This is why I don't love you. Because you're a unicorn that is an embrassment to hang out with.... A mess even with that mane. Nopony will love you Sweetie Belle and nothing ever will" He says and heads off with a smirk on his face with no guilt. Sweetie Belle streams tears down his cheeks and Sail notices it while growling a little from what he just said.
"Sweetie Belle.... It's gonna be okay, just ignore what he said" He says trying to make her feel better. She can't seem to stop crying and replies.
"I'm sorry Sail, but he's right.... Nopony is gonna love me, I am a mess... My mane isn't beautiful. You can make your way from here.. I'm going home, good night" She runs off crying with her mane covering her face a little. Sail frowns and sighs because he feels so sorry for her from hearing what that Stallion said and makes his way back to the castle. When he finally arrives at the castle, it's very late and he knows that everyone will be asleep.
"Oh great... Now I gotta be real quiet or else Twilight will beat me again like last time... But worse" He slowly opens the doors and his head looks around to make sure that no one is around. When he sees the coast is clear. He makes his way very quietly to his room, just then the floorboard creaks a little and he stops....... He takes a long step across the hall and finally makes it to his room. He enters his room and lays on the bed and closes his eyes.
When at that moment his instincts tell him to do a number 2, he gets up and heads to the bathroom. (If he can remember where it is) After 10 minutes of looking he found the bathroom and has done his business, then he feels better and heads back to room when he bumps into something and falls to the floor. When the horn sparks blue he realises that it's Starlight "Oh my goodness I am so sorry" he whispers and helps her up, she yawns and rubs her eyes.
"No I'm sorry Sail, I should have looked where I was going, but I was so ti-" she stops before she can finish the sentence, because she can see that his eyes are in a sad way and decides to ask him.
"Hey Sail... What's the matter?" She asks him with worry. Sail shakes his head and wipes a small tear.
"Yeah I'm okay Starlight just..... Something in my eye nothing much" He responds trying to make it believable that he's fine but it's not working. She places a hoof on his claws and has a frown on her face.
"Sail please... I can tell something's wrong. Why don't we go and make some Coaco and discuss the problem okay?" She asks a comforting smile which Sail decides to agree and make their way to the library. When they are in the room Starlight brings two Coaco levitating in the air places one on the table, she takes a seat and turns the lamp up a little.
"Okay Sail, what's the problem?" She takes a little sip while she waits for an answer. Sail has a little taste of the Coaco and drinks it all at once, which he soon regrets because it's hot. Starlight giggles a little and gives him some water and he feels so much better.
"Starlight.... You know how Sweetie Belle had a crush on Button Mash but they didn't end up together?" He asks her which she nods knowing the sad situation. "Well, we had a run in with him and he well...... Said some very mean and hurtful things to her" He finishes with tears streaming down his face and Starlight goes to him, gives a friendly hug and takes a seat back on the other side of the table.
"And I guess that made you feel so sorry for her because she's a very close friend to you?" She asks and he slowly nods feeling Blue. (Don't worry I'm not trying insult Blue the raptor, I just mean how he feels) Starlight has a little think and has a suggestion.
"Well.... Why don't you do something very nice for her to make her feel better in a very warming way?" She asks with a smile and raises her eyebrows, he Blushes a little from the that and has a bright idea. But isn't sure about it.
"I don't know Starlight... What if she doesn't like it and I lose her" he questions in worry. Starlight softly says.
"I don't think she would want to get rid of her saviour that easily" After that reassuring talk. Sail feels so much better and Yawns and makes his way up to bed. But he embraces Starlight in a hug and she returns the gesture, they make their way to their beds and fall asleep with smiles on their faces.
The sun rises over all of Equestria and Shines through the window of the dinosaurs room. Sail wakes up and decides to make a start with the idea by gathering everyone up for the plan. As the day goes by, Sail has told all of the Mane 6, Discord, Thorax, the dinosaurs, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Starlight and Spike what he has in mind and they agree it's an amazing idea. They start action to make this work, Sail asks Applebloom and Scoots to keep Sweetie Belle busy to make sure she doesn't see them organising all of this.
As the day goes by Sail is Keeping everyone in check. The dinosaurs are placing the planks on the frame, Applejack and Spike are placing the nails in the wood. Fluttershy and Discord are getting the fireflies ready for their part, Twilight, Starlight and Rarity are sorting out the material for the curtains, Rainbow Dash is making sure the clouds aren't in the way. Pinkie Pie is getting the cupcakes ready, Thorax is getting the equipment ready sound and check. Just then a footstep is heard and everyone stops and see who it is, Sail turns around and sweats a little when he's sees it's Rexy. The Tyrannosaurs slowly approaches him and stops right in front of him. The others start to worry because they think he's gonna attack again, Rexy looks around and stares at Sail again with anger. "So.... You planned all this for Sweetie Belle?" He asks with a deep tone and Sail nods very slowly.
"....... How can I help?" Sail is confused as Rexy gives a smile and apologizes for his behaviour when they first met. Sail accepts and forgives him and they claw bump and Whispers something to Rexy and Rexy agrees to it. When the moon arrives everything is ready for Sail's plan to cheer up Sweetie Belle. Twilight gives him a pat on the leg, everyone smiles and wait for Sweetie Belle and the girls to return.
As the Cutie Mark Crusaders make their way back Sweetie Belle is still so down from yesterday. "Come on Sweetie Belle. You have to admit you had a great time right." Applebloom asks with a small sweat. Scootaloo has a smile that would make Rexy get turned on. Sweetie Belle looks at them and sighs.
"I'm sorry girls, I just can't seem to smile. I don't think I ever will again" She says with a huge amount of sadness. The unicorns two friends look at eachother as they see they're at their destination. They tell Sweetie Belle to look up and when she does she sees a beautiful stage with amazing purple curtains, fireflies flying around making the scene shine. The others are already there waiting for them. The Cutie Mark Crusaders sit by them and tell Sweetie Belle to get ready for an amazing surprise.
The curtains open and Sail is there with a mic on his head ready to do something his never done before. He clears his voice and starts to speak. "Sweetie Belle, I saw how sad you were from yesterday" The unicorn blushes a little from him talking about her. "Well I wanted to do this for you because you have no idea how beautiful you are" He smiles and music starts to play. As the music gets to the cue, he starts to sing with an amazing voice. (Bold for Sail, normal for Rexy and / for both of them)

You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need dresses
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everypony else in the room can see it
Everypony else but you
Baby you light up my world like nopony else
The way that you flip your mane gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I help you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
But that's what makes you beautiful
Take it Rexy!"
Rexy appears on stage and Scootaloo blushes and smiles from seeing the two getting along
"So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everypony else in the room can see it
Everypony else but you"
Baby you light up my world like nopony else
The way you flip your mane gets me overwhelmed
But you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You're don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I help you so desperately
Right now we're looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
But that's what makes you beautiful
As they get to the clapping part everyone in the crowd is clapping along, and Sail can see Sweetie Belle is smiling and blushing a lot from the surprise. Scootaloo mouths thank you to Rexy for doing this for Sail.
Baby you light up my world like nopony else
The way that you flip your mane gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
"You don't know
You don't know beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nopony else
The way that you flip your mane gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why we help you so desperately
Right now we're looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
"You don't know you're beautiful"
But that's what makes you beautiful
As they finish the song Fireflies make a smiley face and fireworks go off thanks to Discord. Everyone cheers and claps for their amazing performance, Sail and Rexy look at eachother and claw bump showing that they are now friends. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle go up to the dinosaurs. Scootaloo hugs and nuzzles Rexy for doing the right thing giving Sail a chance. "Thank you Rexy." She kisses him full on the lips and he returns it, Sail looks at Sweetie Belle and smiles at her.
"You did all this for me?" She asks him with a heart warming smile.
"Of course I did Sweetie Belle, I didn't want to see you sad all the time. You are my special friend and I would do anything to keep you happy" He responds that causes all the others to smile and a few tear up. Sweetie Belle gives Twilight a nod and the Alicorn uses a spell on Sweetie Belle grown to the size of Sail and gives him a small kiss on the cheek which causes him to blushes so red that he's almost a rose and hugs him and Blushes from the meaning speech. He happily returns the gesture, the fireflies form a little heart the two and they don't mind because they are just happy being amazing friends. But everyone else giggles quietly knowing love is in the air around them.
"You know Indominus. I think another pony and dinosaur pair will happen soon" Rainbow says to her loving husband and he Nuzzles her.
"You know Rainbow, I have a feeling you're absolutely right" They smile and look at the unicorn and Spinosaurus hugging eachother with the moon reflecting on them.
