Chapter VII:The fun part of an adventure II

Equestria, Ponyville, year 1001 C.R.

Sweat Apple Acres

Applejack lead her triceratops friend, Cera, to her home farm and once at the site Cera was really amazed by the vast number of apple trees surrounding her.

-Wow. That's a lot of tree sweets.-said Cera gazing at the orchard

-Hehe, actually, these here are called 'apples' Cera. That's why this here place is named 'Sweat Apple Acres'.-Applejack corrected her friend

After a couple more minutes of walking they reached a massive barn where they saw three ponies. One was a tall red stallion bringing in a cart full of apples, the other one was small yellow filly with a big red bow on her mane bringing a basket full of apples perfectly balanced on her head, the last one was an old female pony snoring on a balancing chaire.

-Uh, who are they?-asked Cera

-Oh, they're my family. C'mon and let me introduce ya to'em.-said Applejack pulling her friend by her paw

As the two of them reached the barn the stallion and filly left their apple piles and went in closer to the dino girl while Applejack began the introductions:

-This here is Big Macintosh-she pointed to the red stallion who came close to greet their guest-this is Apple Bloom-she pointed to the little filly who also came to greet Cera-and that there is Granny Smith-she pointed to the old pony who was snoring loudly.

-Uh…hi, I'm Cera.-she said hesitantly.

-Hi there!-said Apple Bloom who suddenly was now in Ceras face-Who or what are you? Are you some kind of new dragon? Hey, maybe Ah can mah cutie mark by identifying her!

-Uh…look, Apple Bloom right?-she asked getting a nod in return-First of all I'm not a dragon, I'm a dinosaur, a threehorn to be precise. And second, what is a cutie mark?

-Those are the symbols on each of our flanks-Applejack answered showing her flank with her apple cutie mark-Us Apple family members all have a cutie mark that has something to do with apples.

-Then how come your sister doesn't have one?-Cera asked looking back to Apple Bloom

-Because everypony must discover their special talent and then the cutie mark will appear. Apple Bloom hasn't discover hers yet so that's why she doesn't have one yet.

-But Ah will get mah cutie mark one day! Even if it will kill me!-Apple Bloom exclaimed putting her hoof up.

-Very determined, huh? I like it. Reminds of myself.-Cera started to brag and ignored Applejacks look

-And what exactly can you do with such pride?-Big Mac spoke up, noticing how Cera raised her head full of pride after her she said sentence

-Well I can knock things down easily with my head. Like…uh…all of those apples over there!-she said pointing at a nearby apple tree.

-Then prove it.-Big Mac said with a smirk on his face

-All right, I will.-the dino girl said and Applejack just facehoofed, realizing that this will not end well

Cera went a few feet backwards then eyed the tree. Once she gathered all of her strength and determined that she was ready SHE CHARGED! As soon as she hit the tree all of its fruits fell down after a few seconds. She then turned back to the stallion and said:

-Ha! How do ya like that?-but as she said and apple fell on her horn, much to her annoyance and spilling apple juice all over her horn snout.

The Apple trio gave a slight laugh and then Big Mac moved to another tree and kicked it with just one of his hind legs and in an instant all of the apples fell, much to Ceras surprise and annoyance. She then got out of her apple pile and moved right up to the red stallion and said:

-So ya think you're better then me, huh?

-Eeyup.

-Then I challenge you to a little contest.

-Fine by me.-Big Mac just shrugged and although Apple Bloom was excited about this AJ knew this wouldn't end well.

Carousel Boutique

Rarity lead her good dinosaur friend Ruby into her shop, which was also her house. As the pink oviraptor girl entered the building she began to admire every inch of it. Since she was never inside a building (except Canterlot Castle and Twilights Library-House) she was pretty amazed with everything she saw inside. Then as she turned her head forward she bumped her beak into a mirror with a slight thud, which was enough for Rarity to hear and she turned to her friend and asked:

-Ruby, dear are you alright?

-Don't worry about me being fine Rarity, 'cause I am fine.-Ruby replied looking back at her reflection then continuing-I just bumped into…myself?

-Oh well no dear. You see, you just bumped into a mirror.-Rarity explained-We use it to see what we look like.

-Oh. I've never seen my reflection so clear before. Perhaps it's because I only saw my reflection in the water.

Ruby then began to move in front of the mirror and making funny faces and enjoing her reflection doing the same things. Rarity then heard a young filly call her name and coming down the stairs. Then she saw a little white unicorn with purple-pink mane trotting towards her. As the little filly was right up to Rarity she then asked:

-Rarity, what was so urgent at Twilights anyway? And why did you…who is that?-the little filly asked turning towards Ruby, who was still being silly in front of the mirror, but the little ponys question draw her attention.

-Oh don't worry sweetie Ruby is friend.-Rarity began braking the awkward silence-Ruby this is my sister Sweetie Bell. Sweetie Bell this is Ruby, my dinosaur friend.

-Hello Sweetie Bell, Sweetie Bell hello.

-Hi. Sorry to ask, but what exactly is a dinosaur?

-Well we're not dragons, if that's what you mean. Though to tell you the truth I've never wondered myself about what a dinosaur is.

-Oh I'm sure you'll figure it out sooner or later darling.-said Rarity-Now if you will excuse me I must get back to work.

-What do you mean work?

-My sister is the best dress maker in all of Ponyville. And she has to make a fancy dress for an important costumer, so better leave her alone.

Ruby thought for a moment and then said:

-Um, Rarity?-the pony in question turned to face her friend-Can I help you in making this dress of yours?-now Rarity was the one thinking for a moment then spoke:

-Uh sure, I guess.-although she felt unsure about this.This decision made Ruby happy and that mattered. Ruby then looked down to Sweetie Bell then asked again:

-Can Sweetie Bell also help?

Now Rarity really felt unsure about what to say. She did had to admit though that she never excepted Sweeties help and, although she thinks she may regret what she was about to say, she said:

-Oh all alright. If you insist.

And with that her sister was so happy she began to bounce in one place constantly yelling 'thank you'. She didn't exactly like making dresses but she did like spending time with her sister, and now she gets to spend time with her new friend Ruby. After a minute Sweetie Bell stopped bouncing and zoomed into Raritys dress making room. Her sister just walked there followed by Ruby and so they began to make the dress together.

Somewhere near Rainbow Dashes cloud-house

Up until now Rainbow Dash had shown Petrie Ponyville from the sky and is now leading the young pteranodon to her house. Being the fastest pony in Equestria and also highly athletic Rainbow Dash was still full of energy, however when she was right under her house and looked back she saw Petrie crawling on the ground towards her, panting and sweating like crazy the cyan Pegasus flew down in front of her tired friend and asked him:

-Hey Petrie are you OK? You look like you've been flying for a week.

-Well me maybe *pant* flyer-Petrie began while still trying to catch his breath-but me no like *pant* Rainbow Dash. You fly very fast every day and all *pant* day and always stay in sky. Me sometimes stay on *big gasp* ground to.

Rainbow was looking at him with sorry eyes the whole time and after about a minute of thinking she picked him up with both her hooves, looked him in the face and said:

-Look Petrie, I may be athletic and I may be the fastest pony in Equestria but I get tired myself and even I have to take a rest.

The young pterosaur looked at her and was about to say something but was interrupted when a little orange Pegasus filly came running to the two of them, shouting RDs name. When she got close to the two flyers she stopped and began talking to Rainbow Dash:

-Hey Rainbow Dash! I saw you flying throw Ponyville a couple of minutes ago. Were you practicing one of your awesome moves or were you…what are you holding?-she asked only now noticing Petrie dangling in Rainbows hooves.

Finding out what the Pegasus filly was talking about Rainbow Dash landed and placed Petrie onto her back for him to rest then said:

-Scootaloo this is Petrie, he's one of my dinosaur friends I was talking about. Petrie, this is Scootaloo, she's like my biggest fan ever.

-Hello.-Petrie said, while resting on his friends back

-Hi.-Scootaloo replied-Say can you fly?

-Of course me can. Me a flyer. But me to tired now.

-What do ya mean 'tired'?

-Rainbow Dash fly so fast and me had trouble catching up with her.

-Oh! So that was why she was flying around in Ponyville. What were you two planning to do now?

-Well I originally planned to show Petrie my house, then Cloudsdale. But now that he's really tired I guess I could just show him around town again, but on the ground this time.-RD replied

-Can I come to?!-Scootaloo exclaimed while bouncing exitedly

-Sure, why not?

-Me think me gonna rest on your back for a while.

Fluttershys cottage

Fluttershy had just arrived to her home, along with Ducky, who was also lagging behind a few times to take in the scenery. Once at her doorstep Fluttershy opened her wooden door and once inside Ducky was amazed by the site before her. There were bird houses and small dens virtually everywhere and of course there were lots of small animals everywhere.

Ducky went in deeper into the cottage and then she was surrounded by all the animals in there. She didn't understand what they were saying but she could tell that they were talking. Then Fluttershy hovered above her and then said:

-So Ducky? What do you think about my friends?

-I think you should tell them to give me at least a little bit of space, yep, yep, yep.-the little saurolophus said while pushing away a curious badger which was sniffing her.

Hearing that Fluttershy motioned to her little friends to go back to their homes. Once that was done they both noticed that there was a little white rabbit left in the room, resting in a basket. Seeing this Fluttershy flew over to the little rodent then said to her friend:

-And this here is Angel bunny.

-Hello Angle.-Ducky said but all she got was a paw-wave that says 'get lost' and the rabbit turned to the opposite side of its basket bed

-Oh sorry about that. He's usually friendly.-said Fluttershy-If you're hungry I could make some food.

-Ok Fluttershy.-said Ducky-If it isn't that much trouble for you of course.

-Oh no. Not at all.

And with that said the yellow Pegasus went into the kitchen and started making some equestrian food for her dinosaur friend (not that it would be any different from Cretaceus plants anyway).

Sugar Cube Corner

Arriving to the candy-like sweet shop, in her own bouncing pace, Pinkie was ready to prepare the entire place for the 'Welcome to Equestria' party she mentioned in the library. Spike on the other claw…er hoof…er hand wasn't that much excited since hr big little sister, Ducky, wasn't with him. Not having her around didn't fit well with Spike, because he felt like she was the only one who understands his 'language' and translate t to the others.

Pinkie just seemed like the type who wouldn't understand and just ignore what he'd say. Despite this Spike tried his best not to show it and just played along. As Pinkie opened the wooden door and hoped inside Spike just simply walked in and started examining the inner surroundings. His little examination process was interrupted by the smell of something sweet and delicious.

He followed his nose to the nearby counter with lots of cupcakes behind glass. As he saw the little sweet triets he started to lick his lips (or beak, I honestly don't know) and put his left paw on the glass. Then he saw through the glass what looked like a blue pony that just walked up to the counter. He put his paw down and looked up and indeed it was a pony, a female pony, who gave a smile to the young steg before saying:

"Well hello there dear. You must be new around here. I'm Mrs. Cake. And who might you be?"-she asked in kind and very friendly tone. She didn't seem surprised at all by the fact that she was talking to a dinosaur.

Spike thought about what to say in his head, but of course he didn't know how to talk yet so at this point he really didn't know what to do. He began to feel really embaressed by the fact that he couldn't even say his own name and was ready to turn and walk away.

However Pinkie came out of nowhere right to his side, before he could turn. Then she began to speak to Mrs. Cake:

"His name is Spike. His sister, Ducky says he can't talk yet but I think he still says hi"-she then put her hoof around Spikes neck and continued-"Oh and he's also a dinosaur from the Great Valley and now I'm throwing a 'Welcome to Equestria' party for him and his six friends."

"Oh well alright dear, just don't make to much of a mess like last time"-Mrs. Cake said, reminding Pinkie what happened during her last party.

"Relax Mrs. Cake I will be extra, super, careful this time!"-she exclaimed, then saluted, then looked back to her prehistoric friend-"C'mon Spike and help with the preparations!"-she said while gesturing to follow her.

As he took a few steps to the direction of the pink party pony Spike noticed a lone cupcake on a nearby table. Went closer and smelled it; it was really good. He knew that eating it without Pinkies or Mrs. Cakes permission would be very bad, but the problem was that when he smells something really good he just has to eat it or it will haunt him forever.

So he looked around and saw no one. Once he realized he was alone he used his unusually long tongue to grab the sweet food, pulled it into his mouth and ate it. This something he was going to try to ask from Pinkie later.

Ponyville Library

"…and that's how it all happened."-Littlefoot finished telling to Shining Armor and Cadance who were listening.

It has been at least two hours since the left and by now everyone did different things in the library: Chomper was helping Spike with his chores, Twilight was teaching Alie how to read equestrian, and Littlefoot was telling Shining Armor and princess Cadance about how he and his friends met the mane six and Spike, their battle against the changelings and how he defeated Chrysalis with the staff of Magnus.

When he finished the two listeners were amazed by the expiriance the young dinosaurs went through. Then Cadance asked the little dinosaur after a moment of silence:

"So what happened to Chrysalis after you blasted her into the Eye?"

"Well I really don't know."-Littlefoot began as he was formulating an apropiate answer-"After the blast she just got stuck onto the Eye and then there was a big light and the she just disappeared."

"Well hopefully we won't see her to soon."-Shining said-"And I think I know what staff you're talking about."-at this last sentence both the princess and dinosaur looked at him with confused eyes-"Twilight came to Princess Celestia a year ago with a weird looking staff that the princess ordered to be placed into the Canterlot Natural History Museum. I've only seen it once but by your description of this Staff of Magnus I think it's the one from the museum."

"Oh yeah I remember seeing it to."-Cadance said after a moment of thinking-"Maybe after Pinkies party we could go to Canterlot fot you see it yourself."-Cadance suggested and this defenatly made Littlefoot excited. Good thing he didn't begin to jump around 'cause that would've been awkward.

Chomper heard the entire revelation and began to build p a bit of excitement himself.

"Wow, so the staff is here after all. Oh boy I can't wait to see it again."

"Yeah? Well you'll have to wait until Pinkie is done with her party."-Spike told his friend-"But trust me it'll be worth it."

Alie was listening intently as well and after also hearing Littlefoots heroic bits she began to be very interested in magic. But she knew that a dinosaur could never learn or use magic ever. Or could it? Well Littlefoot used the staff and it was magical, and he also brought her and the others here, so why not? At this point she just couldn't resist asking Twilight:

"Uhm, Twilight? This might sound silly, but…do you think it's possible for a dinosaur to learn magic?"-Twilight was really surprised by this question and after a minute of thinking she gave a plausible answer:

"Well I guess so. Why? Do you want to learn magic"-she asked raising an eye brow

"Well…I…*gulp*…yes."

"Ok well I never tried to teach anypony about magic but I'll give it a try."

Alie felt a bit surprised about her friends answer but she was satisfied to know that she will be able to learn magic. However another side of her said that she might regret this decision.
