Over at a grocery store, the students at Canterlot high (sans Fluttershy), along with the Dino Gang of Seven (sans Littlefoot), gathered around the entrance. With Littlefoot's "Star Day" approaching, they decided to have a get together soon, again at Sweet Apple Acres (as the portal to the Great Valley is in the lake). While Fluttershy and Dapplewood keep the young Long Neck distracted, the others walked around to gather the food, though the question does rise for what exactly do their dino pals eat.

The Apple Family and Cera walked together when Applejack herself turned to the young Threehorn.

"Cera, we've never asked any of your pals, but what is your favorite food?"

"I like flowers, yellow ones." Answered Cera just when she spotted a bouquet of them.

"Flowers?" - asked Apple Bloom - "What do flowers taste like?"

Her older sister stopped her, "Much as we respect your favorite foods, eatin' flowers may seem off among us."

Cera snorted before walking ahead of them, "Never hurts to try."

Conga line music began to play as they continued their "browsing." Chomper happily skipped around away from Cosgrove to the sandwich aisle.





Over at the Great Valley, Littlefoot, Dapplewood, and Fluttershy explored their surroundings. Angel Bunny also joined them on accident, changing (or devolving) into a multituberculate. For the time being, he would clamber onto Fluttershy's head for protection against being stepped on or chased by Hidden Runner.

"So, um, Littlefoot" - Fluttershy craned her neck down - "have Sharpteeth ever been in the valley before?"

"Sometimes they have," - answered Littlefoot - "but only when the earth shakes damage the great wall."

"Including any..." - she shivers, almost causing Angel to fall off - "T. rexes?" - Littlefoot turned to the larger Long Neck - "Not saying Chomper's bad."

"I know." - Littlefoot responded - "but you don't have to worry," - he turns to the "Plaza" of the Valley - "no Sharptooth would be dumb enough to take on a herd this size."

"Was there anyone who fought a Sharptooth alone?"

Piano music began to play when Littlefoot hopped onto a rock.



Noticing the Bright Circle receding over the Great Wall, Dapplewood nudged his much larger friend.

"Oh, uh, we should get back." Fluttershy turned her massive body towards the lake.

When Fluttershy and Angel submerged into the lake, Littlefoot turned to Dapplewood

"By the way, why haven't I seen my friends yet?"

Ever the quiet one, Dapplewood shrugged and entered the lake. A little suspicious, Littlefoot joined in, swimming through the portal and changing into his human form. Upon emerging, several party cannons exploded.

"Surprise!!!" - Shouted the party members - "Happy Star Day, Littlefoot!!"

All around the lake are the students and families from Canterlot High along with Littlefoot's friends and their families. Decorations and tables dotted the farmland. In excitement, Littlefoot joined his friends as they played around dinosaur themed pseudo-theme park.
