A Tyrant Friend

Like Father Like Daughter

Two whole months have past and Terry's children have grown. Razor and Scalina were about the height of Celestia while Terry Jr and Gary were Luna's size. Tina though being the littlest of the hatchlings is about the height of Applejack. Today the hatchlings were doing their own things while Terry and Tina were walking through one of the parks in Canterlot. Tina made a special bond with her father unlike any of the other hatchlings. She usually did what he told her and he listened to what she wanted to say when something was wrong. So today the father and daughter decided to spend time together.

"So daddy, what are we going to do today?" She asked in her deep but sweet voice.

"It's a little surprise I've been wanting to do with you for a while now. Just stay close and you'll see." He replied with a toothy smile. Tina gave her dad a smile and followed him outside Canterlot one of the fields he usually went in.

"You ready for your surprise sweetie?" Terry asked his daughter.

"Yes daddy. What is it already?" She asked in replying with excitement in her voice.

"Today...I've decided that you're going to join me on a hunt." He said with a little grin. Tina gasped in excitement and hugged her father.

"Oh. Thanks daddy. I've been waiting for you to take me on a hunt." She said as tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

"I know you have been. But we're only hunting small animals. When you're a bit older we'll hunt bigger things. You understand me don't you?" He asked her.

"Of course. I'm ready." She replied happily. Terry chuckled and showed her the target. It was a flock of Ornithomimus.

"So dad, any tips from my favorite hunter?" Tina asked. He chuckled because he loved being called that by her.

"Ornithomimus are speedy. Catch them by surprise and make sure you got a grip on them. They tend to squirm once you grab them." He told her.

"Alright. Do you want me to wait here?" She asked.

"Yes. I see if I can herd them towards you. Just be ready when one is in reach." He said as he began to walk away. Tina watched her dad get behind a bush that was in front of the Ornithomimus flock. His plan then went into action by him bursting from the bush releasing a roar.

The Ornithomimus squawked in fear and ran as the predator charged towards them. The scattered and ran in many directions as Terry ran snapping his jaws at them. Then he managed to get one in the direction of Tina. But then Terry tripped on his foot and skid across the ground. The Ornithomimus squawked happily to see it's chaser was down but then released a squawk of fear when Tina ran behind it snapping her jaws. Terry watched as his daughter ran full speed after the small dinosaur. And then after a few minutes of her chasing, Tina snagged the neck of the Ornithomimus causing its' body to fly into the air for a quick second until falling onto the ground. Terry smiled as he watched his little predator shook the neck of the Ornithomimus until he heard this.

*SNAP!*

Tina released the neck of the dinosaur and saw what she did.

"I...I did it. I actually did it." Tina said as her voice grew excited. Terry then walked over to her and saw what she did.

"I'm proud of you Tina. Not only was the hunt successful, you finished it yourself." Terry said with a smile. Tina slammed into her dad and began to shed tears of joy.

"I love you daddy." She said.

"I love you too. My little hunter." He said as he hugged his daughter. They then walked back to Canterlot and Tina ran to find her brothers and sister to tell them about her hunt. Terry smiled and sighed as he watched her run happily to find her siblings. He then began to walk around himself until he found Dart.

"Hey Terry." Dart said as he walked over to him.

"Hey Dart. Can I ask you to do something?" He asked the raptor.

"Of course man. What is it?" Dart asked in replying.

"Can you babysit for tonight? I was gonna go hunting for a couple of hours and I need someone to look after the hatchlings." He explained.

"I completely understand man. I'll watch them for you." Dart said boldly.

"Thanks. I owe you one." Terry said happily.

"No prob'." Dart said happily. Terry then walked away and began to hum a song to himself.
