A Tyrant Friend

Scaly Family

Today....was a sad day. Terry ran into a forest of the trees that bear red fruit and hid. He cried as he was running because he blamed himself for the Dromeosaurs attacking Applebloom. He stopped running and laid down under the trees.

"It was my fault. She's hurt because of me." Terry said to himself as he cried. He closed his eyes and he cried himself to asleep. As he was waking up, he saw a purple blob with his blurry vision. When it became clear, he saw a small reptile with purple scales and a green underbelly. He had green spines and ear fins and green eyes with slanted irises. He saw the creature but it didn't see him.

"Alright.....where did I put that gem?" The creature asked himself. Terry slowly got up and saw he was laying on a gemstone. He picked it up with his jaw and tossed it in front of the small reptile.

"What the-" The creature was saying until he felt like he was being watched. He turned and saw that giant reptile standing there.

"AH!!!!!" The creature screamed.

"Please.....don't be scared of me." Terry begged.

"But......but you're a huge dragon and I'm just a baby dragon." The creature said.

"So you're the 'Dragon' Applebloom described." Terry said as he looked at the creature.

"Wait.....did you just say Applebloom?" The dragon asked.

"Yes. I'm her friend. Well....was her friend." He replied in a sad tone.

"What happened that you're not friends?" The dragon asked.

"She got hurt because of me." He replied.

"WHAT?! What did you do that Applebloom is hurt?!" The dragon asked as green flames spewed from his snout.

"A Dromeosaur attacked her and I wasn't there." Terry replied as a tear began to fall from his eye. The dragon went out of his rage and gave him a weird look.

"A what?" He asked in confusion.

"A Dromeosaur. A light-weight, meat-eating dinosaur." He asked.

"What's a dinosaur?" He asked.

"Dinosaurs are reptiles that range in many families. I'm from the Tyrannosaur family. Dromeosaurs are from the Raptor family." Terry replied.

"Really? What's your name?" The small dragon asked.

"It's Terry. What's your name young one?" He asked.

"It's Spike. Why are you out here?" The dragon asked in replying.

"I'm leaving this place. So Applebloom doesn't have to worry about me letting her down again." Terry said as he was walking away. Spike ran as fast as he could to catch up to him.

"Hey.....it wasn't your fault. If these 'Dromeosaurs' were in a pack, you were probably taking the others on and Applebloom was attacked by one of them." Spike said.

"They were and I was. And it's my fault she's hurt." Terry said back to him.

"No it's not Terry. Look, we might not be able to change the past, but you can change the future. I'm 100% positive Applebloom will forgive you. I'm really sure." Spike said trying to cheer him up. Terry stopped and looked at Spike.

"You're right. I just need to put the past behind me." Terry said happily.

"Now that's the tone I wanted to hear." Spike said. Then all of a sudden, Terry's stomach began to growl.

"Want some?" Spike asked as he passed him the gem.

"Sorry Spike. I can't eat gems." Terry replied.

"Well what do you eat then?" Spike asked as he took a bite of his gem.

"Well...I eat meat." Terry replied. Spike's eyes widened and he began to cough when he choked on his gemstone.

"Um....what kind of meat?" Spike asked in a worried tone. Terry began to laugh.

"Don't worry. I don't eat ponies or dragons. I prefer anything else." He said. Spike then sighed of relief.

"You know Spike, I know we just met, but you're kind of like a little brother to me. We might not be blood related, but a reptile is a reptile." Terry said with a smile.

"You know it Terry. And to be honest, you're like a big brother to me. And you're right. We might not be blood birth, but we're brothers." Spike said back with a smile. Then Terry picked up Spike in his mouth and placed him on his back. Then they spent the next few hours having fun that only brothers could.
