Chapter XIII:A peacefull time part 2
Earth Great Valley 65 million years BC
Canyon of the Shiny Stones
At the Canyon of the Shiny Stones, or whatever was left of it, Spike was having a great feast. There were small gemstones scattered everywhere, along the canyon and he ate everyone of them. In the mean time Chomper was eating bugs crawling out of the rocks, mostly beetles and crickets. He found a large, redish-brown scorpion as well. At first he didn't want to eat it, 'cause he was warned to be careful around these critters because they're deadly. But it looked so delicious that a drool drop even left his mouth. So he thought of an idea: he took a rock, pinned down the arachnid and used the rock to crush it's venomous stinger, rendering it harmless. And so he ate it and it tasted really good, considering that he never ate scorpions before. Spike saw the hole thing and when Chomper turned to him he then asked:
-Uhm, how exactly did you eat that scorpion? You do know if they sting you with their tail then you'll die.
-I know.-said Chomper while eating the tailless arachnid-I just simply crushed it's tail and then I ate eat it and therefore it can't kill me. Makes sence, right?-Spike just shrugged and nodded and the little rex continued-Anyway, can you tell me why are you eating shiny stones?
-That's cause that's what we dragons eat-Spike responded-If you where a dragon then you'd do the same and trust me, these gemstones taste really good.
-Personally, I think I'd just look at them.-said Chomper-Cause that's what we sharpteeth do. And I also think I'd eat ground crawlers any day.
They shared a little laugh and carried on with what they're doing.
At the Flower Fields
Rarity was having a little difficulty making her new outfit,'cause she didn't have any of her designer tools with her. She also kept on nagging about how much she regrets the fact that she left them behind, much to Rubys annoyance, though she didn't express it in any way. But she had to stop it somehow and so she went up to Rarity, who was trying to 'be in the zone' as usual and talked to her:
-Uhm, Rarity? If you keep saying that you wish you're stuff where here that wont help with anything.
-But how am I suppose to do this right without my things?-asked the marshmallow unicorn in a dramatic way-I want this new outfit to be perfect. And every outfit of mine is always perfect when I do them with my creation tools.
-Well how about you use what you have here and right now.-said the pink oviraptor-I'm sure it will turn out just right. And it's not like you're going to take it back to you're world, right?
Rarity thought for a moment and realised that her dinosaur friend was right. Instead of nagging she should work with what she has here. But she still needed someone to model for her. She looked at Ruby for a few seconds and before the oviraptor girl could say anything Rarity exclaimed:
-IDEA~!-this of course made Ruby jump back, cause she was of course startled-Oh s-sorry. That's how I react when I have a new idea in mind. Anyway, I'll need you to model for me Ruby,'cause I'll be making you an outfit.
-Oh no Rarity. You really shouldn't do that. I don't wear any, uhm, 'clothes' at all.-Ruby tried to convince the unicorn.
-Oh don't worry darling it would be no problem at all.-said Rarity-Besides I would like to design something that is non-pony, which is also something new to me.
Rarity then gave a sparkling smile to Ruby, who just had to except in order to both not make her new friend mad and also to make her stop smiling. And so Rarity was designing a dress for a dinosaur, something she never done before, but she sure enjoyed it.
The sky
Rainbow Dash was flying for about three hours and clearing some clouds in the proces.The ground dinosaurs whatched her for a while (for 30 minutes to be exact) and then they got bored in seeing her do the same thing over-and-over again and so they went back to there bussnises.Petrie, on the other hand, was just watching her in total amazement. When RD finally stopped, by resting on a cloud Petrie flew to her and asked her:
-Uhm, Rainbow Dash, me have to ask. How you fly through sky puffies and make them go away? And how do you sit on one.-Rainbow didn't get that 'sky puffy' is how the dinosaurs call the clouds, but when she figured it out she answered:
-Oh, well, uhm, that's how us pegusi work.-she began explaining-We can clear clouds…er sky puffies and also have the power to even walk on them. It would be awesome if you'd be able to do it to.
-Well to be honest-Petrie began to explain his issues-me no like flying through sky puffies and so me no think me want to walk on them either.
Rainbow Dash was just about to laugh at this whole cloud issue but held it in and then asked:
-Well can you tell me why you don't like flying through clouds?
-It like flying through big, white smoke-Petrie began explaining while resting on RDs belly-you get lost and don't know where to fly next. In short, me no like flying through sky puffies.
Rainbow Dash felt sorry for the little pteranodon and when she made a decision she talked:
-Well then say hello to your new coch Petrie!-the little flyer looked at the Pegasus girl with confused eyes and then she continued-That's right! I'm going to teach you to fly through clouds without getting disorientaited.
-Oh no, no, no, no me don't want to try that. Me will fail for sure.-Petrie said to his friend, but she didn't give up so easylie:
-Oh come on Petrie. Aren't you tired of being scared of something other flyers can do easylie? I bet other flyers are even calling you a wimp right behind your back.-at that last statement Petrie narrowed his eyes, turned around and then spoke seriously:
-Ok. Then teach Petrie how to fly through sky puffies!
Rainbow Dash got up from her cloud and soon enough they began there training. Even though Petrie may think he will regret this decision he feels that this will be for the best.
At the prehistoric pear trees
After a while of pear bucking Applejack laid down for a little rest. Cera, on the other hand bumped another tree with her head and knocked down several pears to the ground. Then Applejack asked her:
-Doesn't it hurt when ya use yer head to knock down fruits?
-Nah. Us threehorns have really hard heads.-Cera began to brag as she usually does and it didn't take Applejack to long to figure that out:
-Uh you do know that yer bragin', right?
-So what?-Cera asked, as if she was protesting-A threehorn can do anything. My dad said so.
Applejack wanted to say something against that last part but she couldn't find the right words. She figured that if Cera was anything like her father then it wouldn't be easy to explain. Finally she thought of some good words and spoke:
-Uhm, actually Cera ah really don't think yer dad meant EVERYTHING, ok? Ah actually think he meant everything yer kind is capable of.-Cera felt a bit insulted by her comment and said:
-What is that suppose to mean? When he said ' anything' he meant everything.
-Nonono…ya don't under… alright.-Applejack tried to say something right but she then thought of something a bit clever-Ya say ya'll can do everything, right? Well then tell me: can ya knock down mountains? Run as fast as lighting? Oh can ya even fly? Hmm?
-Well…I…well…you see…-Cera knew that she couldn't get out of this one with her bragging so she decided to be honest (with an angry look) and said:
-Ok fine. So we can't do everything.-she then turned her head and Applejack cracked a proud smile and said:
-Ya know sugercube there are somethings we want to do but just cant,'cause we're not suppose to. Ah mean ah wish ah can fly like a Pegasus sometimes but ah can't and ahm not braggin' or lyin' about that.
-So, you're always honest to everyone?-Cera asked with a both confused and sad look on her face.
-Of course Cera.-said Applejack with confidence-Trust me being honest and not braggin' can bring ya many good things. Although ya might want to keep yer personal secrets a secret. Now come on and lets buck some more apples…er pears down. YEEHA!
And with a smile on her face Applejack went back to pear bucking. Cera followed as well being a bit more confident and decided to try out this honesty thing later on. But right now she's to bussy knocking down pears.
The watering hole
At the watering hole Ducky was swimming a bit underwater to practice her deep divings. When she surfaced she swam to shore, where Flutterhy was. The yellow Pegasus was sitting on her belly and was admiring the scenery. When Ducky got to shore she came out of the water and went up to her pony friend and asked her:
-Fluttershy? Why are you barely coming in to the water? Do you not like the water?
-Oh no. I like the water.-Fluttershy said-It's just that I don't want to get to wet. I don't even spend so much time in the water. I usually tend to little animals on dry land.
-But why? Do you like taking care of animals?-Ducky asked again while she sate next to her Pegasus friend.
-Oh yes. I do. Taking care of animals is my special talent. That's why my cutie mark is a trio of butterflys.-she explained but this only made the baby saurolophus ask another question:
-Cutie mark?
-Yes. That is this symbol on my flank, here.-Fluttershy said while showing her friend her cutie mark-It represents your very special talent.
-Oh I know what my very special talent is yep, yep, yep.-said Ducky-It is swimming, of course. Now how about we go into the water and play swimmer and splasher?
-Well I guess I could go in this once.-Fluttershy said and then she went into the water along with Ducky and began the game.
On the sore, however, Spike was munching on a tree-star bush and, surprisingly, Pinkie Pie was doing the same. Although at first she may have thought it would taste funny, but to her surprise it actually tasted very good. And although Pinkie was talking a lot (I'll not wright down that, sorry guys) Spike didn't seem to notice. He was just simply enjoying his meal.
Somewhere at the grazing field
-So that's it? You didn't see anything else?-Twilight asked Littlefoot.
-Yeah. That is pretty much it.-Littlefoot responded.
By know Twilight taught Littlefoot how to read a dead language and she's done it in just four hours tops. Littlefoot was a lot like her, smart and bright so it made it a lot more easier. She also told him about Equestria: what is it like? How many pony species are out there? And if they're any dinosaurs out there? She also told him about the two princesses, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and about their powers. When she told the young dinosaur about how Celestia raises the sun and how Luna raises the moon he gave a funny surprised look that made her giggle a bit. She also told him about the cutie marks and had a hard time explaining what her cutie mark means. Finally she said that since she is Celestias top student and knows more magic then anyone else her special talent is magic. After she finished it was Littlefoots turn. He explained to her about the unusual meteor that he saw some nights ago. He described it in detail and when he mentioned the meteors sudden U turn then Twilight got really interested. He also said that whenever he gos to the center of the valley and steps at the exact location where the meteor landed he sees strange flashes. He explained that he sees a large, dark, flowting rock and a weird, glowing stick.
When he finished Twilight was really stunned by this new discovery. She thought for a moment and when an idea hit her she said:
-I have an idea Littlefoot. I can use a spell of mine to look inside your mind and see those flashes much more clearer.
-Will it hurt?-Littlefoot asked, being a bit concerned since he's never done or faced magic before.
-No, of course not. In fact you'll be able to see it to.-Twilight said reashoring her dinosaur friend.
Littlefoot thought for a moment and then he gave a simple nod and then they began. Littlefoot lowered his head, close to the ground, and Twilight lowered her head down to his and then her horn began to glow a red-purple aura. Then they both closed their eyes and they began to see the flashes, only this time they seemed more like visions. They saw a strange, underground cave and in it's center was a large orb, obviously made out of some form of metal. It looked like a bunch of metalick shapes put together like a giant puzzle.The weirdest thing was that it was glowing a cyan blue color. It also had some weird writings on it, the same writing as the mysterious book and even the letters were glowing. A few moments later they saw a large rock formation that looked like a sauropod standing up straight. It was Saurus Rock. Then they saw themselves travel into the 'head' of Saurus Rock and there they saw a long staff with a light-blue, sharp diamond on one end and with a small orb on the other end.
The little orb, which was at the top of the staff, was cyan-blue and it was even glowing the same color. And the top of the staff was like grasping the orb, like a clawed hand.
After a few more moments the spell ended and both of them opened there eyes and were compliety amazed at what they saw. Then Littlefoot asked Twilight, after a few seconds:
-Uh, Twilight? What was that? That big rock, that strange stick? What were they?
-Those were magical artifacts.Those are the mysterious flashes you've been having.-Twilight answered-But what was that strange rock that looked like a dinosaur back there?
-That's Saurus Rock!-This time Littlefoot answered-And I think that strange, glowing stick is inside Saurus Rock. And I also think that stick has something to do with that strange rock.
-Yeah, I think you're right.-Twilight said.
-Come on Twilight! Let's get the others! We have a new adventure ahead of us!-Littlefoot said in excitement before going away, to gather the other, with Twilight following him.
