A Tyrant Friend

Parenting 101

Terry walked up to the door and knocked using his middle toe. It opened and behind was Twilight.

"Hey Terry. What do you need?" She asked him.

"I think whatever you put on me needs changed." He replied and he showed her his bandage.

"Oh the bandage? Hang on a second." She said as she closed the door. She came back out with a fresh bandage for his gash.

"While I'm doing this, anything you want to talk about?" She asked.

"Um...yeah. Do you know anything about parenting?" He asked in replying. She cheeks began to light up.

"Might I ask why you're asking me this?" She asked him.

"Well...Tina is going to...have her eggs soon." He replied. Twilight's eyes widened.

"You're gonna be a dad?" She asked with a smile.

"Yeah." He replied. She then let out a squeal of a fan girl.

"This is perfect. The perfect time to analyze Tina's eggs." Twilight said with a smile.

"I don't think so." Terry said to her. Twilight then stopped smiling and gave Terry a weird look.

"Why not?" She asked.

"Tina is very...protective of her eggs. Get to close and you'll risk becoming her lunch." He replied. Twilight then swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Um...never mind." She said. Terry than began to laugh.

"Why are you asking me about parenting?" She asked.

"I...I don't know if I'll be good at it." He replied.

"I think you'll be good at it Terry. If you'll fight while risking your life to save any of us, you'll be a good parent." Twilight said with a smile.

"Thanks. But...what's it like to raise Spike? He's the closest thing you have to a son." Terry said to her.

"Um...I don't think ponies raising dragons is like dinosaurs raising their young Terry. But to tell you, raising Spike is the best thing that ever happened to me. I love Spike with all my heart and I'll do anything for him." Twilight said as a tear fell from her eye. She then placed the new bandage on Terry.

"Thanks Twilight." Terry said with a smile.

"No problem." She said back.

"HELP!" A voice roared. And that voice was familiar. then around the corner came Cutter and Noah.

"Did you guys hear that?" Terry asked.

"We did lad' and that sounded like Dart." Cutter replied.

"Then why are we just sitting on our asses? LET'S GO!" Noah roared. Then the three giants followed the scream of Dart and hoped that they weren't to late to save him from danger.
