So she walked up to the young creatures and started talking: -Uhm, hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. What's you're name?-she asked the long necked one who was surprisingly taller then she was (but only a bit). -Uh…my name is Littlefoot. I'm a longneck.-he answered, being a bit nervous. -Littlefoot ,huh? That's a nice name. Though you do know that you don't have little feet ,right?-she said it and meant it to be a joke and it made Littlefoot giggle a bit. But then the horned one grunted a bit and it told Littlefoot to focus. He then spoke again: -Um…sorry…ahem, this here is Cera and she's… -A threehorn.-she interrupted her friend and stepped forth proudly, sticking her horn up. -Uhm…who , exactly are ya showing of for?-Applejack asked her that, causing the others to break a little giggle. Cera grunted again and made her friends to shut up, but Applejack was still giggling until she finally stopped and said: -Ahem sorry, but ah couldn't resist. My name is Applejack by the way. -Ok well don't do that again!-Cera warned Applejack in rather angry tone. -Hey nice insult by the way.-said Rainbow Dash, still hovering above everyone-That was really good when you said to that Hyp guy. -Me impressed by your fighting. No one ever fight bullies before.-said Petrie as he flew right in front of Rainbow Dash and began to circle her a few times-It sure was fun. -Thanks.-Rainbow said and slightly blushing a bit-I'm Rainbow Dash. -Me Petrie. Uhm...excuse me but you seem to talk a bit strange-Fluttershy said flying next to Petrie. -Oh that is how Petrie always talks, it is, it is.-said Ducky to the shy Pegasus-Anyway my name is Ducky. What is you're name? -My name's Fluttershy.-she responded. -Nice to meat you Fluttershy yep, yep, yep.-Ducky replied. Pinkie Pie then bounced to the group and asked Spike: -Hi I'm Pinkie Pie. What's you're name? -He is Spike. He cannot talk yet oh no, no, no. But he still says hi.-Ducky answered while her big little brother was munching on some grass. -That's all right.-Pinkie said-A friend is still a friend.Even if he can't talk. -But you don't even know anything about Spike.-Ruby began-So how can you be friend with Spike so fast if you don't even know him? -Well darling-Rarity started-Pinkie Pie here has a habit of becoming friends with strangers really quick. But you get used to it. My name is Rarity, by the way. -Hello Rarity, Rarity hello.-Ruby began again-My name is Ruby, Ruby is my name. -Uhm, sorry to interrupt-Spike began-but why do you repeat the same thing in the same sentence? -Don't worry, you get used to it.-Chomper interviened-I'm Chomper, I'm a sharptooth but I'm friendly.-the young rex then noticed Spike's unmistakable fangs and added-Hey,are you a sharptooth to? -Well…-Spike was a bit confused at the young rexs question but sort of figured it out-…I'm not one you're kind if that's what you mean. I'm a dragon. Chomper and the dino gang all gave a confused look to the young dragon and then Twilight whispered something at Spike's ear: -Spike they don't know what dragons are. They probably never even seen one in there lives. -Oh.-Spike realized and then explained to Chomper and the others-Well a dragon is like a big flying…sharptooth….that breathes fire. The dino gang gave a big gasp at the nolige that a dragon is a flying, fire breathing carnivore. A moment later Petrie then spoke: -Flying sharptooth? THAT BREATHES FIRE?! -Well yeah-Spike responded-but don't worry I'm a nice dragon. -Well then it's nice to have a 'dragon' on our side.-Littlefoot said then giving a little chuckle.-Hey do you girls want to come and play with us? -But Littlefoot, don't you remember what the grownups said?-Cera said looking really serious-They said that we have to stay away from these newcomers since they could be dangerous. -Now wait a minute!-Rainbow Dash snapped flying right into Cera's face-We just saved you from those jerks, and now you think we're the bad guys? -Well why not? You sure look weird enough for that.-Cera replied and that almost maid RD lundge at her if Littlefoot didn't step in between them. -Cera.-he began-You get used to her. But really, come and play with us. -Oh yes, yes, yes-Ducky added-it is always nice to play with new friends. -Thanks guys-Twilight finally spoke-but we don't want to attract to much attention to ourselves. After what happened earlier today I'm sure we made a weird impression to the others. -Oh.-Littlefoot said, the smile on his face slowly fading away-Well then how about we introduce you to the grownups, or at least my grandparents, and then we can have a meeting tomorrow so that you can explain to them why you're here and who you are. -Ah'm not so sure about that.-Applejack spoke up-Did ya see the way they reacted when Pinkie talked to them? Ah don't think we want to do that again. -But…-before Littlefoot could finish it he and everyone else heard there parents calling for them. -Come on Littlefoot, let's go.-Cera said as if giving an order -But Cera what about Twilight and her friends?-Littlefoot replied, wandering where would Twilight and her friends would sleep for the night. -Oh don't worry Littlefoot-the purple unicorn began-we'll be fine right here. -Hey, why don't don't all of you sleep with me and Ruby in the Secret Caverns?-Chomper asked with Ruby nodding in agreement. The ponies all thought about it for a while. Well, all except for Rarity who would say her answer emediatly, which would be 'no' since she didn't like being in caves for to long,let alone sleep in one. But then Twilight spoke again: -Well…alright then.-she said with the others nodding-But only for tonight. -Okay-Chomper and Ruby said it together. While the others split up and the ponies went to the caves Litllefoot still though that it might be a good idea to tell her grandparents about his new friends.When he got to the nest his grandparents were still waiting for him so then he though that this could the oportunitie: -Uhm, Grandma, Grandpa? There's something I want to tell you. -Of course Littlefoot. What is it?-His Grandpa replied. Then Littlefoot began to explain and after he finished his grandparents then decided to hold a gathering at Council Rock tomorrow, just what Littlefoot was hoping for.
