Applejack

Applejack was trotting along next to what could only be described as a massive brown leg connected to a massive brown body. That had a long spindly neck with a small pony size head on a creature 108 hoof long, it didn`t seem right. But there he was with a name and Applebloom talking to him.

"Sa Dippy how did yer get sa big?" she asked sitting on his neck, Dippy lumbered along for a moment before answering it "All Diplodocus are big, but some of them aren`t as smart as me" he said boastfully, it was true by sauropod standards Dippy was a genius but by everything else's standards he was a bone head.

Saura flew over head rolling her eyes, she was really disliking the hole thing, she`d seen one reptile and he`d saved her life and here she is flying over Dippy, with a mammal in her seat. 'Yeah smart' she through brewing with rage.

Applejack was thinking deeply, she knew that Dippy would eat a lot, but he could also lift heavier than her or Big Mac put together, but only a few large boulders had fallen into there land but after they were gone what would he do?

"Dippy watch yer step, otherwise I might fall off!" stated Applebloom, rapping her hooves around the neck of the great sauropod. Dippy had misplaced a step, as one of his feet had slipped on the slick cobblestone, regaining his balance, he plodded along again.

Applejack looked at where Dippy`d nearly fallen, a large foot print lay their, Dippy`s footprint, Applejack got an idea, an idea that could help the farm, and get us out of the Diplodocus.


Big Mac had finish his chores for the day, so he rested under a tree, he could sleep through, as Winona was rolling and yipping for him to play, Big Mac looked back hopping that Applebloom would be back soon, she could play with Winona a lot more than he ever could.

Sighing as his sisters were no where in sight, he got up, fining a stick, he held it in his mouth, waving it in front of Winona, she jumped, tail wagging so it was only a blur of movement.

Throwing the stick, Big Mac yelled "Fetch!" as the stick took off, so did Winona, she soon disappeared between the rows of apple trees. Sitting down again Big Mac smiled and nearly dozed off.

"MAC! What are yer doing? Whys the ground shack`in?!" squawked the most elderly member of the Apple family or Ponyville it depended on how boastful she was feeling.

Big Ma got up, the ground wasn`t shacking, she must have finally lost it, then 'thud' the ground shook only slightly but it shook, Mac stopped and had a look around 'thud' the ground shook again a much larger noise was heard, wait a noise so it a 'thud'

...footstep?

"Hey Big Mac look up here" stated the voice of Applebloom, looking at where the voice was came from, he found a massive shadow being cast almost blocking out the sun, looking up he found Applebloom, on the neck of a dragon?

Applebloom jumped and fell onto her brothers back smiling and waving at the head on the end of the neck, it was tiny compared to the rest of the body, it head was pony size if not slightly bigger.

Granny came out of the barn and took one look of the massive brown beast looming over her grand children, and Applebloom was smiling?

"Big Mac this is my new friend Dippy, Dippy this is my big Brother Big Mac" Mac looked around trying to find the creatures head again, it large blue eyes looked into Mac green eyes.

"Hi, nice to me you Mac" he said cheerfully

"Errrrr... Howdy" said Mac unsure of what to say to the massive creature. Applebloom breathing down her neck didn`t help either.

Applejack walked up to Mac, she`d never seen him daunted by anything, but the shire size of their new house guest well, it would have daunted a dragon, apparently they don`t grown much larger than 70 hooves, and only way 10 tonnes, whilst Dippy was over 30 hooves longer and about double their weight.

"Yea`h alright Mac? yer look like yer seen a ghost" looking at her brother, Granny was wadding up to the trio of siblings.

"Who and What is that thing?!" stated the elderly farmer.

Dippy head shot up, neck bending much like a snake about to strike, but he spoke with a childish ignorance "I`m not a thing, I`m a Diplodocus! And my names Dippy. Nice to me you"

But Granny Smith was less curious she was about to explode when Applejack step in "Dippy here is gonna be staying with us for a while as he`s a bit lost, he`ll be working around der farm" she said putting on a forced smile.

Granny looked at the massive amount of brown scales behind the small wooden fence, Dippy feet came over the fence one by one, each time a foot hit the ground the earth shook.

The soft dirt compressed under his massive bulk, Dippy`s head turned to his side as a pony size green spot was picking something off his sides, Saura was doing her usual job, keeping the large sauropod free of parasites.

Dippy looked at the thing trying to eat him "Saura, what is that?" it was small and mammalian, with grey fur, it had wings with small claws, Sarua had the die creature in her hand.
"No clue, but there taste" she replied swallowing the thing hole, Dippy looked slightly ill at the statement.

Landing on the ground Saura was also greeted by the elderly pony "What the hay is that?! There multiplying!"

Applebloom jumped of Mac`s back, grabbing Saura by the neck she introduced her "Granny this is Saura, Dippy`s" Saura through for a moment "Keeper" she said sarcastically.

Granny sighed as she trotted off she said "Applejack, tell`em there chores" she`d had to much excitement for one day, and retired to her rocking chair.

Dippy looked at Applejack questioning what the old mare just said, Saura groaned, chores are work, work means not fun, not fun means boring.
"Right Granny, Dippy yer goanna help with anything heavy around here, or uprooting the dead trees. Saura, yer goanna help Appleboom with her chores, Ok?" she asked after both of them took in the information, the nodded, well Saura did begrudgingly.

"But all chores are finished today, yer can get yer berins now, Bloom show`em round"

Barking was heard from the trees as Winona came back with a stick covered in mud and grim from the run, placing it in front of Mac she passed out.
"Mac where yer playing fetch with Winona again?" ask the blonde farm pony, Mac looked away slightly "Eeeup"
