Chapter two:
The Stay at Tree Huggers Tree House
The strange girl was shocked as the others to hear that name because it was hers so she walks closer to the girl then once realizing who it was smiles and greets Fluttershy in a big bear hug before saying, " Rightchas if it isn't Butterfly Fluttershy. Man it's like the stars have once again allowed us to meet." Fluttershy was just as overjoyed as she returned the hug and began to chatter about how they look and stuff when they looked back at the other girls who were still confused well except for pinkie Pie who was still feeding the Stegosaurus.
So Fluttershy began to explain first with introductions, " Oh I'm sorry um girls this is Tree Hugger. Tree Hugger these are my friends Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Sunset, Pinkie and Applejack." pointing at each of them then with the explanation, " She and I used to be neighborhood best friend before I went to Canterlot high and even before I even meet Rainbow Dash."
The girls waved as their names were called and Tree Hugger shook their hands saying, " it's radical to meet you all." then climbed onto the Stegosaurus to rub its head and say, " And this here is my Saurian Partner and friend Stareye Fullmoon, I named her that on the count she of her star shaped birth mark on her eye and like the fact she was born on a full moon man." Stareye then squeaked and growled to them as if it was trying to say something when Tree Hugger than said, " She said ' Thank you for the cookies and welcome to the Island." Suddenly a loud sound echoed through the jungle scaring Stareye till Tree Hugger hummed to her to calm down and said, " It seems the Carnivores are on a hunt again, come we be safe at my place." and the two began to move with the Human seven following from the sides of course so not to get hit by the spiked tail.
They followed for more hours as it was starting to get darker when Tree Hugger said, " and here we are." to show her house and what a house it was, built within and all around a giant tree with a trunk lifted and hollowed into a like dog house for Stareye, on the top of the house was this tower post with a strange glowing object in it and these two rope stairs leading to what seemed like walk in bird houses because of the amount of birds flying around it but what was really strange about this was the house looked like it had electricity somehow. The entrance was brought down by rope stairs and the girls were welcomed in, the interior had a carpet in the center and parts of the tree where converted into a spiral stair on one side was some chairs and a bookshelf next to a small like kitchen while the other had just one bamboo desk with papers, a quill with ink and finally one map on the wall next to guest room.
twilight immediately went the map to find if this Island was recognizable but through her two years of studying Geography and reading maps it wasn't, she then she looks down to the key and saw the name in big letter that she read aloud, " DINOTOPIA.?" she then turn to Tree Hugger asking, " Tree Hugger is this the name of your Island? I've never seen it on any map before."
And Tree Hugger answered, " Right you are oh intelligent one you wouldn't find it on any map we're cut off from the rest of the world due to a Endless storm we've come to call the Razor Reef that surrounds the entire Island.
Applejack was concern on this and she showed when she said, " Wait a darn tootin minute. Yall mean to say we stuck here?"
And Tree Hugger Answered, " Yes I'm afraid so." then changed her tone to say, "Now pull up a chair I'll make a quick dinner that well renew and delight your souls. " The thought of food was the last thing on the girls minds do to all the things that has happened so far and now with the thought of not being able to go home but it was something not to ignore now either, they were served a large bowl of salad, fresh bread, and a small bowl of strange yet tasty fruit.
It was delicious but it didn't change that the girls had questions even Fluttershy now they didn't want to be rude so they stood quite when Tree Hugger said, " You know your silence is really bumming me out, if you have some questions please ask them." and they did. Fluttershy asked how she herself got here and she told of how ten years ago she and her parents were out doing dolphin research when the same storm of the Razor Reef hit them and sunk their boat luckily those same dolphins rescued them and brought them to Dinotopia now her parents live in a place called Chandara located east of here where Tree Hugger herself moved here to live with the nature of this terrain called the Blackwood Flats, Rainbow Dash went second and asked about what the whole Saurian Partner thing meant and was meet with how every summer a place called Tree Town hosts a sort of Olympics where young Dinotopians compete in a series of of games one such is a ring toss race. The Winning pairs choice a habitat to both study, serve and live by the Land, the Sea, or the Sky, if you choose the Land you would be given a egg from this place called a Hatchery with a number to care for and if you choose the Sky you go to another place called Canyon City where you learn to ride a Quetzalcotlus or as we call them Skybax and after training a Skybax chooses to fly with you and thus becomes your partner which left Rainbow in amazement Tree Hugger then adds that those who choose of the sea work with the dolphins that come and go from the island but aren't partners with them.
Sunset asked what her habit was and Tree Hugger answers of the Land then explained that she now houses and cares birds that would deliver and receive messages to all corners of Dinotopia some of which are closely related to parrots so can talk called Postal Birds. Rarity asked a fourth question but it was mostly on the clothes Tree Hugger wore which turned out to be hand stitched by herself, they then looked to Pinkie to hear her questions but she was busy spraying whipped cream which came out of nowhere on her fruit so they thought the questions were done till Twilight asked one last very big question, " How do you have power here?"
" oh dude that's a wonder I can show you." said Tree Hugger as she then stood up and moves to a corner to pull down a rope and reveal another roped staircase, the girls followed her up the stairs opening a hatch to the tower they saw earlier. In the center of the tower was a stand holding a small oval shaped gem that glowed a clear light and gave out a slight humming sound, Tree Hugger pointed to the gem and said, " This is what we call a Sunstone dudes, it is what gives my house energy and also protects it from some of the Carnivores every city and settlements on Dinotopia has one." and the girls were amazed by this power when they noticed how how late it was getting and headed back down stairs to turn in.
Tree Hugger took them to a guest room where awaited two bed made to look like nests with enough space to fit upto three to four people, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash took one bed while the rest took the other and they drifted to sleep.
