My Little Dinosaur

My Little Dinosaur

Primordial Friendship part 3

Equestria year 1008 of Celestia’s Reign

As the next morning rises over the peaceful down of Ponyville, Fluttershy just walked outside her cottage to admire the lovely day. Suddenly she soon noticed a pair of robins attending to their nest, so Fluttershy happily decided to greet the little song birds.

“Good morning you two,” Fluttershy greeted the Robins. “Are you two enjoying this lovely morning like every pony else?”

The birds happily chirped yes to the kind and caring, she giggled at their response for she knew they were enjoying the morning as much as she was.

“Oh that’s good,” smiled Fluttershy. “I’m about to join my friends during brunch later on, so I hope you two take care.”

The robins chirped to Fluttershy, assuring the shy Pegasus that they will before returning to attending their nest. Parker, Teryx, Boulder and Dusk walked out and noticed this. For far they’ve enjoyed their sleepover at the cottage, and were preparing to tell Fluttershy that they were departing back into the Everfree forest when they saw her conversing with the robins.

“You know for somebody who’s not familiar with a dinosaur,” Teryx commented. “She’s really good with those birds right there.”

Fluttershy overheard what the Avisaurus had said and turned around to greet her new Dino friends, though why they were connecting her robin friends with them felt a bit confusing.

“Good morning every pony,” Fluttershy greeted.

“Morning Fluttershy,” Parker replied. “Talking to some feather friends?”

“I am,” replied Fluttershy. “Though I’m confused…how come Teryx was comparing the robins to a dinosaur?”

“Supposedly because Brids are a type of Dinosaur,” replied Teryx.

“They are?!” Fluttershy asked in surprise.

“He’s right Fluttershy,” replied Dusk. “In fact Troodon, Avisaurus and modern birds are actually part of particular group of Dinosaurs known as the theropods.”

“Theropods?” Fluttershy asked Dusk.

“The word itself means beast feet,” replied Dusk. “For all theropods share the specialized three toe feet throughout the group and some theropods especially smaller species such as me and Teryx can sprout feathers.”

Fluttershy started to take all the information in for she enjoyed learning new facts about animals, but then upon seeing similarities to between Teryx, Dusk and some of the modern birds around her as she finally realized the connection between modern birds and prehistoric dinosaurs.

“So that means if birds are related to you two and those birds are actually members of the theropod family…” Fluttershy realized.

“Then it means that birds are dinosaurs Fluttershy,” Parker finished for her.

As if on cue music began to play as the dinosaurs and their pony friend started to sing…

“Walking with some Dinosaurs”

Parker: “Come on Dinosaurs with me, let’s walk through the forest and see. That we’re walking or flapping our wings, and doing some Dinosaur things.”

As the group started walking around the area, several modern birds began walking and flying around to join in on the song.

Teryx: “Come follow us across the floor, let us go tweet, tweet, roar, roar, roar…”

Boulder/ Dusk: “Tweet, tweet, roar, roar roar…”

Parker: “Come flap, flap and stomp some more.”

Boulder/ Dusk: “Flap, flap and stomp some more.”

Fluttershy: ‘So I’m walking with some Dinosaurs.”

Parker, Teryx, Boulder and Dusk: “You’re walking with some Dinosaurs.”

As the Music kept on playing, many of the birds surrounding Fluttershy and the Dino gang began humming along. Very proud of knowing that they’re part of an astonishing group of animals.

“Who know for all this time I’ve been hanging out with some Dinosaurs?” Fluttershy giggled.

“You better believe it sister,” Teryx replied. “Now come on every Dino let’s finish up shall we.”

Teryx: “Now as long as it should be, Dinosaurs live on as you see.”

Dusk: “Come on let’s flap and stomp some more….”

Parker: “For we’re proud to be Dinosaurs.”

Fluttershy: “Tweet, tweet, roar, roar, roar?”

Boulder/ Dusk: “Tweet, tweet, roar, roar, roar.”

Teryx: “Flap, flap and stomp some more.”

Boulder/ Dusk: Flap, flap and stomp some more.”

Fluttershy: “I’m walking with some Dinosaurs.”

Parker, Teryx, Boulder and Dusk: “You’re walking with some Dinosaurs.”

Fluttershy: “I’m walking with some Dino…”

Parker: “Walking with some Dino…”

Teryx: “Waling with some Dino…”

Boulder/ Dusk: “Walking with some Dino…”

Unknown parrot: “Walking with some Dino…”

Parker/ Fluttershy/ Teryx/ Boulder/ Dusk: “We’re walking with some Dinosaurs!”

The song finishes as the birds departed from the group, and then suddenly Fluttershy quickly realized something.

“Oh my goodness,” Fluttershy. “I need to get going; my friends are waiting to have brunch with me.”

“Take care Fluttershy,” said Dusk. “After we’re done exploring the forest, we promise to come back and check up on you later.”

“Okay thank you guys,” smiled Fluttershy. “Do take care please.”

“Not to worry we will,” assured Parker.

The Dinos waved goodbye to Fluttershy as she flown off to have brunch with her pony friends, at Castle friendship in the middle of town square Fluttershy entered where she was greeted by Spike.

“Good morning Fluttershy!” Spike greeted.

“Hello Spike,” replied Fluttershy. “I hope I’m not late.”

“Actually you’re just in time,” assured Spike.

There Fluttershy followed the baby dragon into the dining, there inside awaited Twilight along with three other ponies Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity each helping in setting up the table when Fluttershy and Spike walked right in.

“Hello every pony,” greeted Fluttershy.

“Well howdy Fluttershy,” Applejack replied. “We’re reckon ya show up.”

“And just in time too darling,” Rarity added. “The Hors d'oeuvre had just been set out.”

“Oh wonderful<” said Fluttershy.

The shy Pegasus walked over and sat down by the table, there was served Hay benedict served with some biscuits and a glass of Apple cider. Each and every treat looked quite appetizing, however as every pony prepared to sit down Twilight realized something important.

“Say has anyone seen Pinkie Pie this morning?” wondered Twilight.

“You got me,” replied Rainbow Dash. “All we know she’s just doing her usually Pinkie thing.”

“Oh I do hope she’s alright,” thought Fluttershy.

Meanwhile back with the Dinosaurs, they were busy exploring the Everfree forest. Admiring the view, as well as the creatures both natural and mythological living in the forest.

“Talk about some freaky creatures,” whispered. “Have you seen that odd bird with pterosaur-like wings?”

“Remember Teryx,” Parker reminded the Avisaurus. “Millions of years have changed, and the creatures here had plenty of time to adapt and such.”

“I know but still…” Teryx trailed off noticing what looked like a Jackalope hoping along the way. “Probably should’ve stayed back at the cottage with Angel and the other animals.”

“Well look on the bright side Teryx,” said Dusk. “At least it’s a lovely day worthy of a hike.”

“And there’s funny looking pink creature living here,” Boulder added.

At first the other Dinos were quite confused at the Leptoceratops’s comment, which is until they spotted what Boulder saw. Taking a stroll while humming is none other than Pinkie Pie the super party pony herself, she continued walking that path gang is using until she finally took notice of the Dinosaurs. Being true to her reputation, Pinkie cheerfully ran up to greet the newcomers.

“Hi there you must be new I bet you’re brand new,” Pinkie said to the dinosaurs in her rapid speaking. My name’s Pinkie Pie by the way, who are you four?”

Now at first the Dinos didn’t know how to answer, but then wanting to make a good impression parker decided to reply to the random Earth pony’s question.

“Well greetings Miss Pie,” replied Parker. “My name’s Parker and these are my pals Teryx, Boulder and Dusk.”

“Oh those are amazing fun names,” Pinkie cheered. “Huh I almost forgot…since you four are new around here, prepare to be welcomed!!!!”

Pinkie ran off as fast as she could, but in an instant returned with her welcome to Ponyville wagon. Music started playing as the pink mare started singing the welcome, while hoping around and dancing much to the Dinosaurs’ bemusement.

“Welcome song”

Welcome, welcome, welcome,

A fine welcome to you

Welcome, welcome, welcome

I say how do you do?

Welcome, welcome, welcome

I say hip, hip hurray

Welcome, welcome, welcome

To Ponyville today

Clearly the gang couldn’t comprehend what’s going on though Boulder seemed to be enjoying the music and dance, then as the song finished…confetti burst out in front them with Teryx being flown away by the force, while cake batter splatter all over Pinkie Pie.

“Whoops’,” Pinkie laughed. “Guess I put the confetti in the oven and the cake batter in the confetti cannon…again!”

After her light chuckle, Pinkie came out and ate her cake batter. It didn’t take long for the Dinosaurs to shake the bemusement off, and simply clapped at the Pinkie’s antic as not to seem rude. Teryx isn’t happy about Pinkie’s mishap though.

“What is wrong that pony?!” Teryx said in agitation. “That blast literally flung me to the nearest tree!!!”

“Oh I’m really sorry about that,” said Pinkie. “I just get really excited when I meet new ponies or new…uh what are you guys anyway?”

“We’re dinosaurs Miss Pie,” replied Dusk.

“Dinosaurs huh?” Pinkie said with amazement. “Oh that is so amazing; say maybe I’ll tell Fluttershy about you guys along with those gigantic bird tracks I’ve found earlier.”

“Oh you’re a friend of Fluttershy?” Parker wondered. “We’re kind of friends with her as well.”

“Huh…you are?!” Pinkie shouted with excitement. “Oh my we so got to hang out sometime!”

“I think we manage that I guess,” chuckled Parker. “But what do you mean by gigantic bird tracks?”

“Oh you guys want to see?” Pinkie asked the Dino Gang. “Come along with me and I’ll show you guys.”

As Pinkie hop on, Parker, Teryx, Boulder and Dusk decided to tag along in hopes to identify the owner of said foot prints. They continued to follow the pink Earth pony until finally they’ve reached the destination, it was at the center of the forest as Pinkie stopped so she could so the gang the tracks she spoke of.

“Here, here,” assured Pinkie. “Right there is where I’ve found the tracks, I wonder what kind of bird it is…perhaps some giant chicken…but what do you guys think?”

As the Dinosaurs looked upon they track, they were in for total shock. The said footprints were indeed three toed in design, but they knew too well that these weren’t bird tracks. Silence was only interrupted when Pinkie noticed how quiet the Dinos were.

“Say are you guys alright?” Pinkie wondered.

“Pinkie we know what these tracks are,” said Parker. “But they’re not from a bird.”

“Really?’ replied a confused. ‘Then what are they from?”

Parker took a moment to calm, then spoke out the only words he thought were required to answer Pinkie’s question.

“Tyrannosaurus Rex!”
