//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Landing in the Isle of Scaly/Sprout and Phyllis meet the dragons/Riding on each dragon/Sprout gets some advice from the dragons // Story: Sprout and the Dragons // by Javier //------------------------------// Once out of the tunnel, the Mane 6, Sprout and Phyllis can see sights of the Isle of Scaly. Sprout and Phyllis were shocked. “So this is the Isle of Scaly.” Sprout said. “Mommy, look how beautiful this place is.” “It sure does Sprout.” Phyllis said. “Look at the view from right here in the Marestream.” “I wish I could snap some aerial shots from here but there’s no signal here.” Pipp said. “I will not try to freak out about that.” “That’s my little sister.” Zipp said. The ponies land the Marestream as Sprout and Phyllis gaze up on the place. “Wow. Look at how amazing this place is from the outside.” “I can’t believe we’re back.” Sunny said. “Let’s find us a dragon.” “HELLO!!!” Izzy called out. Just then, all of the dragons land at the ponies’ presence. “Well guess who decided to come back?” Spike said, as he and the other dragons approach the Mane 6, Sprout and Phyllis. “Nice to see you again Sunny, and you too little one.” He looked down at Sparky. “Well, who are these two ponies?” Blaize asked. “I’m Phyllis Cloverleaf, and right next to me is my son Sprout.” She introduced herself and Sprout. “Who are you dragons?” “The name’s Blaize Skysong.” the pinkish red dragon said. “And this is Luxxe, Leaf, Tumble, Fountain, Lava, Jade, and Spike.” “It’s sure nice to meet you.” Sprout said. “It’s sure nice to meet you too.” Luxxe said. “So what brings you here?” Leaf asked. “Long story short, but we’ve came here because of my son not being trusted by other ponies because of what he did in the past.” Phyllis said. “I did learn my lesson after serving my community service.” Sprout said. “But ponies still think that I never deserve to be forgiven.” “Shall we ride on you first before you explain everything?” Phyllis asked. “Please?” Sprout asked. “Sure, you’ll love it.” Tumble said. “Yeah, you’ll absolutely love it you’ll go insane.” Lava said. “You’ll love it very much.” Fountain said. “Very much.” Jade said. “Well come on everypony, let’s fly.” Sunny said. “Come on Sprout and Phyllis.” Lava said. “Hop on us and we’ll give you the ride of your life.” Within minutes, the eight ponies had settled onto the back of the dragon of their choice: Sunny rode with Blaize Izzy rode with Luxxe Pipp rode with Fountain Zipp rode with Lava Hitch and Phyllis rode with Tumble Misty rode with Jade Sprout rode with Leaf Sparky rode on Spike's head “Ready mommy?” Sprout asked. “I sure am Sprouty boy.” Phyllis replied. “Okay. Here we go. Let’s fly.” Leaf said. The dragons then took the ponies for a little dragon ride around Scaly. “Wheeeeeeeeee! Mommy, this is fun.” Sprout said. “You said it son of mine.” Phyllis said. “Now I know why this place is so much fun to explore.” Sprout replied. “I’m glad you and your mother came with us to explore around here Sprout.” Misty said to his friend. “Okay, that’s enough flying for now.” Spike said. “Great idea Spike.” Sunny said. The dragons then land back where they were. The ponies then thanked them for the ride. “Hoof to heart, dragons.” Sprout said, as he and the dragons hoof-bump each other. “Now as I said,” Sprout said. “Me, mommy and my friends came here because the other ponies back in Equestria still won’t trust me because of what I did in the past.” “Luckily, Misty was there with him where it all happened.” Phyllis said. “It can be quite hard to trust somepony for the horrible things they did in the past.” Spike said. “Starlight Glimmer learned that lesson the hard way during Twilight Sparkle’s time.” “Um, your Spikeness?” Blaize asked as she raised her claw. “Who’s Starlight Glimmer?” “Is she another one of Twilight Sparkle’s friends?” Sunny asked. “Yes.” Spike replied, then continued his story. “Twilight told me everything about her. She enslaved a whole entire village free of cutie marks and took my friends’ cutie marks when they went to her village.” “Like Opaline?” Zipp asked. “I was continuously wondering on how she would steal everypony’s cutie marks including us. No wonder why we couldn’t stop her at first. She was acting just like Starlight Glimmer before she met Twilight and her friends, but a whole lot worse.” “So what’s the advice you dragons want to give me?” Sprout asked. “I don’t want ponies rioting on me anymore.” “Well, I just don’t want you to do the things that you did to those ponies ever again.” Spike said to Sprout. “Yeah, he’s right.” Misty said. “After what you told me in the Marestream about your horrible past, I now feel sorry for you, Sprout.” “Same thing with me.” Phyllis said. “And us.” Sunny said. The ponies and dragons then started to cry and shred tears all around Sprout. Everypony and dragon could now trust Sprout again, and his mother Phyllis comforted him, as well as the Mane 6 and the dragons. “Thanks mommy, thanks everypony and everydragon.” Sprout said. “Let’s say we fly back shall we?” Phyllis said. “We’ll fly in the Marestream.” “Say, you want to come with us?” Sunny asked. “Great idea.” Leaf said. “I’m excited to come with you.” “Same thing with me.” Tumble said. “And me.” Fountain said as well. “Don’t forget about me.” Luxxe said. “Me too.” Blaize said. “And me as well.” Lava said. “Don’t forget me.” Jade said. “I wanna come.” “It seems like all of us are in on this, Sprout. Come on dragons, we’re coming with these ponies.” Spike said happily. “Aw, yeah.” Pipp said. “I just want my signal back now.” “Don’t worry Pipp. We’ll have your signal back in no time.” Hitch said. “Meanwhile for you Sprout, me and Zipp have a song for you.” (Don’t Lose Your Groove) Hitch Sometimes we get lost in the new (in the new) And we forget what we love to do (what we love to do) Zipp You gotta reignite the spark in you (Hitch: In you) Yeah, come on, pony, let me walk you through First step, you gotta find your rhythm Make your way back to the life you're livin' Second step, have fun with it It'll come naturally Hitch and Zipp Don't lose your groove Keep your attitude Yeah, we're all just livin' it up We're here, we're just havin' fun Don't lose your groove It's what makes you you (Hitch: It's what makes you you) You'll always find your way back So, pony, have fun with that Like, uh, uh-huh-huh-huh Zipp Find your groove, get back to it, back to it Hitch and Zipp Uh, uh-huh-huh-huh Zipp Find your groove, get back to it now Hitch You just need the right company (company) Zipp So come on, pony, follow my lead (follow my lead) We're gonna get you back to where you belong (belong) Hitch and Zipp It's as easy as the rules of this song First step, you gotta find your rhythm Make your way back to the life you're livin' Second step, have fun with it Hitch It'll come naturally Hitch and Zipp Don't lose your groove Keep your attitude Yeah, we're all just livin' it up We're here, we're just havin' fun Don't lose your groove It's what makes you you (Hitch: It's what makes you you) You'll always find your way back So, pony, have fun with that Like, uh, uh-huh-huh-huh Hitch Trailblazer Find my groove, get back to it, back to it Hitch and Zipp Uh, uh-huh-huh-huh Find my groove, get back to it now!
