Equestria, Canterlot, year 1001 of Celestias rain
After their meeting with Celestia the group made their way to a chariot that leaves to Ponyville. After a while Littlefoot saw the look on Alies face: she was calmer then she was before and that made Littlefoot crack a small smile and say:
-So? What do think now Alie?
-Uhm…well this place isn't that bad as I initially thought.-said Alie-Maybe you were right Littlefoot. Maybe this place is as peacefull as the Great Valley.
Soon afterwards they reached outside where a golden chariot was waiting for them. They noticed that at the front of the pony vehicle were four white pegasi guards, obviously the ones to pull the chariot, and they also saw a pink allicorn princess standing right next to the chariot. She was about as tall as Shining Armor, her mane and tail were curled at their ends and had three colors, yellow redish-pink and lavender. Her cutie mark was a deep cyan gemstone shaped like a heart and with a pair of golden wings on its sides. Uppon seeing her,Shining Armor gave up a smile and she did the same before walking towards the white unicorn stallion and when they were close enough they both kissed each other on the lips. Then after about five seconds Cera gave a loud 'Ahem' and this caught both equines attention and they both looked at the young dinosaurs. Shining Armor was the first one to speak:
-Oh, uh, guys this is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, my wife.-he said pointing at the princess who spoke up to the children after the pony captain finished:
-Hello. But you can just call me Cadance. Who are you little ones?
-Oh, we're dinosaurs from the Great Valley.-Alie got up some courage and started introducing them-I'm Alie and these are Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Spike, Petrie, Ruby and Chomper.
-But don't worry, I'm a nice sharptooth.-Chomper added and then Cadance began once more:
-Really? You guys are these so called 'Great Valley dinosaurs'?-the dinos just nodded-Well then it's a pleasure to meat all of you. I heard Celestia mentioning your names only once.-she then turned to her husband-I also heard that your taking them down to Ponyville, are you? Well then I'm coming to. I know you'll be wanting to spend some time with Twilight and I would to.
-Oh alright. But just because you asked so nicely.-Shining Armor said in a slight sarcastic way.
Then they kissed again and then everyone started boarding the chariot. At first Littlefoot and the others thought that their combined weight might be to heavy for the chariot to pull up but as soon as they were all on board the four pegasi guards began to pull and in a matter of seconds they were flying in the sky. Cera didn't really liked this since she has this fear of hights but the others were really enjoying this. After about a minute or so Shining Armor looked at Chomper and remembered his reaction when Luna came into view so he took this opportunitie and asked him:
-So. You like her don't you?-Chomper hearing this turned to face the pony captain and got a confused look on his face and then Shining Armor continued-Ok, I saw your reaction when you saw princess Luna Chomper. And I also found out what was it. You like her.
-Well yeah, I mean, I like her as a friend, ok?-Chomper then crossed his arms and turned his face away, also having a slight blush which was noticed by the unicorn stallion. Then the young rex gave up and said-Ok fine, I like her. But don't tell anyone, ok?
-My lips are sealed.-said Shining Armor and this made the little rex feel a bit confortable.
After an hour or so Cadance and Shining Armor spotted Ponyville dead ahead and told their dino companions to look. When the gang saw Ponyville they were really amazed at what they saw. They had never seen a town before so it only comes naturally. Suddenly they began to decend into town, much to Ceras releaf. When they landed Cera was the first to get of (or more likely jump out) and then she began to kiss the ground, releaved that she was finally on solid ground. The others began to laugh at this while they were getting of the chariot as well. Once of they noticed that the town was full of ponies in various colors and not only that but they were all staring at the gang. Seeing this Ducky asked Shining Armor:
-Uhm, Shining Armor? Why are all these ponies looking at us like that?
-Well, just think about it,-the unicorn stallion began-you guys are the first ever dinosaurs in Equestria. And since nopony has ever seen any of your kind before it's only natural for them to throw a curious look at you.
-Well…I do not like it, no, no, no.
-Don't worry. Where Cadance and I are taking you will make you forget about all your worries.
And after saying so he and his wife lead the dino gang further into town. After about fifteen minutes they reached a large tree with windows, a balcony, a door and a sine with a book on it. Spike became tempted to eat some of it's leaves and so did the others, except for Chomper, but Shining Armor told them not to because this tree is actually a library and the home of Twilight Sparkle. They all became excited after hearing the last part and the two escorting ponies told them to calm down and keep quiet, for they intend this to be a surprise for the lavender unicorn. They all remained silent and so Shining Armor and Cadance stepped forth to the door and the white stallion knocked a few times and after a few seconds Twilight Sparkle and Spike opened the door and gave a big smile for who they saw in front of them. Then Twilight spoke up first:
-Shini, Cadance! I can't believe you're both here!
-It's good to see you to Twili.-Shining Armor said and gave his little sister a hug. Then after releasing her Cadance spoke up:
-Hey, aren't you going to hug me to?
-Of course.-Twilight said and then hugged Cadance as well. After releasing her she backed up a bit and asked both of them:
-What are you guys doing here? Princess Celestia didn't send me any letter stating you two are coming. Is there something wrong?
-No. Of course not.-said Shining Armor-we just thought we might come by for a visit. And bring someone familiar here.
After saying that both the lavender pony and the little dragon became really confused. But after the stallion and allicorn went aside they revealed a very familiar group of young dinosaurs. Upon seeing them Twilight broke an even bigger smile then before and only one word left her mouth, in a really loud matter:
-Guys!-and then she and Spike ran forth and them and the gang of seven gave each other a big group hug.
