A Tyrant Friend

Three Small Friends

The next day in this new land, Terry awakened to the feel of the sun's light on his snout. He let out a gigantic yawn and then rose up from his sleeping spot. He looked around and saw that he wasn't dreaming. He then heard the voice of something young.

"Um.....hello? Is something out there?" Terry asked as he walked towards the source of the sound. He stuck to the vegetation and saw a weird small animal. It had yellow fur and long red hair on it's head and tail. It also had something red in the hair on it's head. Then he saw two creatures that looked like it except one had a horn and the other one had little wings approach the normal creature. Terry thought the were a sub-species of the yellow one since they looked alike.

"Ya' girls ready?" The little yellow creature asked.

"We sure are Applebloom." The winged creature replied happily.

"Hey girls....what's that thing?" The horned creature said pointing towards a pair of reptilian eyes in a nearby bush. Terry saw that she was pointing towards him. They walked towards the bush but Terry began to walk backwards.

"Don't be scared." The one called Applebloom said to him.

"I'm not scared of you. You'd be scared of me though." Terry said to them because he knew they'd be scared of his shear size.

"We won't run. We promise. We've got a dragon here and we're not scared of him." The winged one said.

"Well.....I'm not a dragon. Whatever those are. But you promise that you won't run when I come out of this bush?" Terry asked the little ones.

"We promise." The horned one said in a happy tone. Terry let out a sigh and walked out of the bush. The three little creatures began to back up when they saw his size but they didn't run. They walked up to him and began looking at the different parts of his body.

"You....you're not scared of me?" Terry asked them.

"Of course not. In fact, we're excited to see a new kind of dragon." The winged one said.

"What's a dragon?" Terry asked.

"That's what you are. Isn't it?" The horned one asked.

"No. I'm what's known as a Tyrannosaurus Rex." Terry asked. The stopped looking at him and walked in front of him.

"A what?" Applebloom asked wondering what he just said he was.

"A Tyrannosaurus Rex. But I prefer T-Rex. It's shorter and easier to pronounce." He replied to her.

"I agree with ya'. So which part of Equestria are ya' from?" Applebloom asked.

"Actually, I'm not from.....Equestria as you say it. I'm from North Dakota." He replied.

"North Da-ko-ta? Sounds like it's far from here." The winged one said.

"It truly is. Anyway.....which part of Equestria am I in?" Terry asked them.

"You're in Ponyville. I think you heard them say my name. If you didn't....it's Applebloom. And these are my friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." She said with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Terry." He said back to her.

"Terry. I guessing it's because you're a T-Rex." Scootaloo said to him.

"Correct. Do you three think you can teach me the way around Ponyville?" Terry asked.

"We'd love too but.....I don't think anypony will be used to the sight of.....what animal family is a T-Rex part of?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Oh....sorry. The T-Rex is a member of the Tyrannosaurs which are members of the dinosaurs tree of evolution." Terry explained to the three small ones.

"So....a Tyrannosaur is a Dinosaur?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yes. I know it's hard to explain but it's the truth young Scootaloo." Terry replied.

"We believe ya' Terry. I can't wait to show ya' to Applejack." Applebloom said with a smile. Terry's eyes widened to the size of a grapefruit.

"NO! I mean...I don't need anymore attention than I have with you three. I need you too keep me a secret." Terry said to them.

"But-" Applebloom was saying.

"No buts Applebloom. I need you to promise me you'll keep me a secret until I can figure out when to show my snout around here. Okay?" Terry asked of them.

"Okay." The replied in unison.

"Hey....I'll show my face to Ponyville in due time. I just need to think about how." Terry said to them.

"Alright Terry. Hey....maybe ya' can tell us about where ya' came from." Applebloom said in excitement

"Yeah. I'd love to hear about North Dakota" Scootaloo said happily.

"Alright you three. Gather around and I'll tell you about it." Terry said with a smile. They then gathered around the T-Rex as he told them about North Dakota and the dinosaurs that lived there.
