The entire Mane 6 find themselves in a harsh no ponies land filled with dinosaurs after a transition to the human world via Canterlots' magic mirror goes astray.
With the unicorns having their magic weakened for some reason and a heavier air, making it harder for the pegasus in the group to fly, the ponies will have to find a way through the treacherous Land Before Time.
On their way they meet a young adult apatosaurus by the name of Littlefoot. He is currently scared by events that caused him to abandon his friends and his herd to survive the wildlands alone. Littlefoot barely has time to ask the ponies what the symbols on their flanks are before he is engulfed in a bright light and recives a cutie mark of his own, a white star that doesn't say Twilight Sparkle, the leader of the pony group, anything.
Will Littlefoot be able to help the ponies get back to Equestria again? - Will the ponies be able to help Littlefoot discover the purpose of his cutie mark? - May the destinies of the prehistoric creature and the ponies be entwined? - Or may there be a chain of events in motion that none of the parties expected? The great circle of life may have the answer.
They also meet a lot of dangers. In a harsh world where food is scarce predators need to feed to.
Note 02-05-2019: About to add more chapter soon. In the meantime I will take time to rewrite some other chapters, add more character expressions and make the text more readeble. Also, before anyone points out the countless holes that I'm sure it will create: No. I have not seen the LBT TV show. My story is soely based on the films.
im getting flash backs to the first movie oh oh the tears are coming
i think whats more accuret then littlefoot getting a cutie mark is that he just absorbed some of twlights magic and it manifested into said mark
This sounds like something up Jongoji's alley.
I didn't know Applejack can be protective of Fluttershy.
I like this and quietly wait for more.
8378105
all of her fends are protective of her
I wonder how Twilight will react to a ankylasouras or a stegosaurus
and my favorite character appears yep yep yep
yea I think you nailed ducky dead on to bad that the land before time was pretty inaccurate when it came to the dinosaurs well some of them anyway
8393289
He, yea. Our knowledge about the dinosaurs have grown since 1988. But the storytelling possibilities stay the same at least.
8393301
i know can you imagine chomper with feathers
Congratulations girls. You've just survived your first encounter with the demon in dinosaur's clothing that traumatized generations of kids

Whoever doesn't cry while watching that movie is not human
Alright, first, you should consider getting an editor (there are a lot of mistakes, both big and small, that make the reading of the story annoying); second, Littlefoot doesn't seem enough confused by his current situation or the ponies themselves (I mean, shouldn't he at least ask what a princess is, given that dinosaurs don't have a government?)

I agree on the reading. I really need an editor + I am still learning new words, expressions, ways of describing and make the text easier for the reader to follow. I am not native English. I always try nowadays to rapidly "Scan through" the text and make sure that no one would needs to read something twice in order understand what is going on. This old one probably needs a complete run-through (A long with an actual ending).
Talking character reactions, I see that Littlefoot could have been more curious - Celestia knows, Mr. Thicknose in LBT 8 The Big Freeze had to put up with his questions the hard way. - Then, Twilight being the Princess of Friendship in Equestria don't really play as big of a role in the story as her being the element of magic (The pink star) - But I guess a scene when Littlefoot just goes on a question spewing-berserking round would be both funny and interesting, bringing Cera, Ducky and Petri in there as well.

I know from direct experience how difficult it can be for a non-native speaker to write a story in English (I'm Italian), so all I can suggest is keep writing as a form of exercise and read other stories in your free time (that and watching cartoons and movies in English helped greatly extending my vocabulary). Also, there are programs like Grammarly that are made to help people with their grammar, so you should consider using them until you don't find someone willing to edit your stories (I'm not being mean, it's just that the concept of the story is good, but unfortunately the grammar makes it less enjoyable - again, I know this from direct experience with my first story).

Yup, only Pinkie could use a quote from Jurassic Park.
Here I thought it was cancelled
Don't even need to read the thing, all I need to know that it's a crossover with Land Before Time and I instantly faved and tracked. You my man(or girl) are going to achieve great things.
Wait what?
9613359
It should be 'teacher'. Thanks for noticing
when will twilight tell rainbow that it is not gravity but the fact she does not have magic to negate gravity for her.
9606211
Oh no. Stories are meant to be finished!
First land before time Crossover I have seen on here.
Does The Land Before Time really have a TV show? I thought it was just movies.
9646856
Yes it only lasted a single season
9638169
This is the first Land Before Time crossover Ive seen EVER. Im actually quite in awe.
I would like to note that Centipedes have a hundred feet, not a thousand. And oddly enough, thats not even right. Their leg count differs for some reason, but the max so far recorded is 177. Millipedes meanwhile have up to 200.
8387804
You too? Petrie came close for me but Ducky was always my favorite.
9653424
Yep yep yep is just to cute
9653274
In Sweden the urban name for Centipides are Tusenfotingar (Tousand-feets). The name have lost terrain to Mångfotingar (Many-feets), but in my childhood we called them Tusenfotingar
Awww what happen to his uncle? Are you going to say he passed awya as well or will they see him?
Somewhere, a certain Struthiomimus is smiling proudly.
That's depressing
So much pain and sufferance. Are you sure this is not a crossover with The Rite of Spring from Fantasia?
I always wondered why a species without teeth and with a beak no shaped for chewing fibrous food would eat leaves.
Speaking of Chomper, where's that little guy?
i.pinimg.com/originals/44/fe/e6/44fee652c7acee781cfab06259d2ec47.png
I mean, the probably not-so-little-anymore guy. Is he still around? Will he and Ruby appear in the story?
Wow
The boy is really messed up. Too bad psychotherapist were not a thing back in the Mesozoic era.
Awwww
Random Theropod: Hmm! That young Apatosaurus smells of depression, broken dreams and shattered hope! Delicious!
9679883
There's a reason why I gave it a Tragedy tag
9680138
It sure feels more like the original rather than the sequels
9679222
Wonder If I should bring in Ozzy and Strut
9680863
It depends from how dark and violent you want this version of LBT to be. If you go for "sequel-level" of violence, then they were just chased away by Chomper's parents. If you go for "original movie" level of violence, then they were eaten, maybe with one of them kept alive to allow the baby Tyrannosaurus rex to exercise his hunting skills like in The lost world
Looks like the Mane Six have gone mad.
Ah the words of Old Rooter.
I REALLY hope to see Chomper before this ends.
But it's looking good even without him.
You better not have just killed Chomper after you FINALLY introduced him.
But good way to introduce him.
Technically, dinosaur names are in Latin, so their plural forms end in -i, not -es (Pachycephalosaurus --> Pachycephalosauri), just like the plural for pegasus is pegasi, not pegasuses.
Such eloquence!
Stand together!
Tyrannosaurus (R)Ex Machina!
9698820
When I tried to spell it I might as well had been spelling it Pactaculasaruruseleleleleleeawrg. It just rolled off my tounge
9698914
our language derives directly from Latin so we can easily read and pronounce it (little trivia: the Italian the name for platypus is ornitornico, which is similar to its scientific name Ornithorhynchus anatinus).
It's moments like this that I'm glad I'm Italian
Begone, dino-thot!
