The sun began to rise over Equestria's blue sky. The sunlight shown down on on one cottage, far from the nearby town. A yellow coated pegasus with a pink mane opened the door carrying a large amount of food for her animal friends. "Good morning," Fluttershy said in calm voice. All sorts of animals started to emerge from their homes and dens. Squirrels, rabbits, and birds, oh my! There was even a large bear resting inside a cave nearby.

Fluttershy began to pour the food for her animals while sing a lovely tune to herself. As she was tending to her animals, she was shocked to find that two large reptilian creatures sleeping right behind her cottage. "Oh my!" Fluttershy gasped. As she started to approach the creature, Junior's eyes fluttered open. "Hello there, little one" Fluttershy said in a motherly tone.

"AAH!" Junior screamed. "Mom, wake up!". Junior's mom quickly woke up and reared up on her hind legs.

Hadrosaurs like Parasaurolophus could walk both quadrapedal, four-legged, and bipedal, two-legged. Hadrosaurs used this in different situations. They rear up to get food from taller plants and to try and intimidate predators. They would walk quadrapedal when walking on the ground and eating small, low-growing, plants.

"You leave my son alone!" Junior's mom barked at Fluttershy. Fluttershy was taken aback by this creature's ability to talk, she wasn't used to any animals directly talking to her. Junior's mom continued to make angry parasaurolophus sound with her crest, trying to get Fluttershy to go away. Meanwhile, Junior was hiding under his mother's belly.

"It's okay, ma'm, I'm not going to hurt you or your son" Fluttershy said, trying to calm Junior's mom down. Junior's mom got back on four legs but she was still suspicious of this small furry creature, huffing deep exhales out of her nose. "Since we're all calm now, why don't we start some introductions," Fluttershy said.

"Alright," Junior's mom said in a calm yet stern tone.

"O-Okay," Junior said nervously.

Meanwhile in Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Bloom was going to Zecora's hut to get the captured compies. "Now, where in the hay are you going, Apple Bloom?" Apple Bloom's older sister, Applejack, asked.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" Apple Bloom. She previously told her sister about how small bipedal lizards trashed Zecora's home, but Applejack didn't believe her.

"Apple Bloom, I've personally gone to Everfree Forest, several times by the way, and I have never seen a creature like the one you supposedly saw." Applejack said, skeptically. Apple Bloom simply rolled her eyes and walked out the doors. "Sometimes, I don't know what I'm gonna do with that filly," Applejack said, shaking her head. She looked towards the apple trees, spreading across almost the entire part of the farm.

She began to buck the trees and knocking the apples of their branches so they could harvest their food. She suddenly heard a low, guttural groan coming from nearby. She ignored it at first but then she heard it again followed by a slam into a tree. "What in the hay?" Applejack said, confused.

She started to walk towards the sound. What she saw, left her speechless. A medium-sized, bipedal reptile was walking in a circle in frustration. This was a Stygimoloch.

Stygimolochs were herbivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous. These dinosaurs and their relatives were unique as they had bony knob right in the dead center of its head. Bone spikes lined the back of its head. With this "headgear", Stygimoloch and its relatives dealt extra damage to its enemies when it rammed into them. These additions were also used in competitions within species especially for mates.

"Come on, fall!" The stygimoloch yelled at a red apple. Bruce had been going at this for long time now, ramming into the apple tree to make the apples fall down. But it seems like apples were being stubborn.

"Need some help, partner" Applejack asked, smirking. Bruce looked in shock at the orange pony.

"What in the name of Pangaea are you?!"

"Uh, a pony" Applejack said. She walked over to the tree and rose her legs up to buck the tree.

"What are gonna do, kick the tree?" Brawn said with a smirk. To his surprise, Applejack was actually able to knock the apples out of the tree causing all of the apples to cover Brawn. "Touche," Bruce deadpanned. Brawn began to took a bite out of the apple and immediately was struck with awe.

"This is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted!" Bruce exclaimed.

"Why, thank you, partner" Applejack said. "Name's AJ, what's yours?".

"I'm Bruce the Stygimoloch," Brawn said, taking another bite out of the apple.

"Never heard of a stygimoloch before," Applejack said. "Anyway, what brings you to Ponyville, Bruce?".

"Honestly, I'm not sure. One minute I was munching down on some ferns and then.." Bruce continued.

*Flashback*
Bruce was casually eating ferns and other plants alongside his herd in some flat, green plains. Suddenly, a large cluster of light started to engulf the group. "What's going on?" Bruce thought to himself. The other dinosaurs started to panic as the cluster of light grew bigger and bigger. Finally, it stopped and disappeared. But it was not the only thing that disappeared, for the whole herd had vanished along with the light.

As Bruce finished telling his story, Applejack's mouth was left gaping open. "The next thing we knew, we're surrounded by large apple trees.

"Wait a minute, did you say 'we'?" Applejack said. Brawn simply pointed towards something beyond some trees. As AJ walked through the trees, her mouth practically dropped to the ground. Dozens of dinosaurs grazed in the fields made for the trees, most of them being crushed and smothered under the dinosaurs' weight.

"Sweet Celestia!" was all Applejack was able to say.

"Yeah, we're kind of a huge group, mostly made up of ankylosaurs." "Over there is Old Man Ankylosaurus" Brawn said, pointing to a lumbering ankylosaurus.

Ankylosaurs and to extension Ankylosaurus, were large quadrapedal, herbivorous dinosaurs. They lived during the Mid Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous. Most species had large body armor like spikes and osteoderms, bony plates, that decorated almost their entire body except their bellies. Some even had large tail clubs that could easily damage or break bone.

"I've gotta tell Twilight about this!" Applejack said.

Author's Note

Okay, let's clear up the whole 'dinosaurs can talk' situation. Some dinosaurs and ones that have importance to the plot will be able to talk. I know its confusing and I might change it later on but that's what I'm sticking with. Remember to share your thoughts in the comments. Also all the art shown is not mine. Bye for now!
