My Little Cinema World: Dinosaur

It was a lovely sunny day in Equestria, and it has only been a month since the strange cinema appeared out of nowhere and the Equestrians have began their new adventure after helping Cassie save three girls from Ezekiel Sims as well as meeting Sunny Starscout and her friends.

Twilight had informed Celestia and Luna about the strange cinema and how they ended up in a film, and the sisters have started researching to see what they can find about it and how it ended up in Equestria in the first place with the help of Solar Eclipse, their lost brother.

John Constantine was doing the same after Oliver told him about it.

As for Sunny, she couldn’t be so happy in her life after becoming Twilight’s new faithful student and she was learning a lot more about friendship every single week.

And today is going to be special for Sunny and her friends, because for the first time, they’re gonna meet the Crystal Empire family, including Amore.

Inside Twilight’s castle, the mane six and Sparky were in the throne room, with the mane eight, Spike, Oliver, Sunburst, Capper and the young seven, waiting patiently for the family to arrive.

However, Sunny was so excited to see them that she couldn’t stop smiling excitedly and shaking a little as she was trying not to bounce. She was like this all morning and couldn’t sleep a bit last night. And her friends wasn’t able to calm her down a little before they got to the castle.

Sunny continued to shake in excitement and squeal while trying not to bounce which made everyone else a little worried about her.

“Wow. I haven’t seen anypony this excited than me before,” said Pinkie, “And I haven’t been that excited before, not even after I helped Cranky smile.”

“Well, looks like somepony has beaten Pinkie’s record of being excited,” joked Rainbow before snickered as Pinkie gave her a stern glare.

Izzy, Zipp, Pipp and Misty stared at Hitch, showing that he needs to calm her down a bit. Hitch knew they were staring at him, but refuses to look back at them.

"She's been like this all morning. Don't look at me like this is my fault," he shot at them. Sparky snickered and Hitch turned and tried to calm down his friend.

“Sunny, you really need to calm down. I know you’re excited to see the brother, sister-in-law and niece of Twilight, but getting too excited will make you forget why they’re coming to meet us. Plus you’re becoming a very hyper version of both Pinkie and Izzy put together.”

“Hey!” Pinkie and Izzy shouted in unison.

“Oh you know I can’t calm down, Hitch! I’m just so excited to meet them! Oh when are they coming? They should be here right now!”

Twilight giggled and flew over to stand with Sunny as she gently rubbed her back and said, “Calm down, Sunny. They’ll be here soon. I know you’re excited to see them. I’m excited to see my niece too. But getting this much excited will definitely make you forget why they’re here.”

Sunny finally started to calm down. Hitch let out a sigh of relief as Sparky and the four laughed.

“Look, they should be here any minute now,” said Twilight, “So why don’t me, Spike and Oliver go see them while you lot stay here?”

“Sounds fine by us, darling,” said Rarity, “After all, they’re your family and we’re just…” Rarity was cut off by Applejack saying, “Before you continue, just to remind you, we are no longer Cadence’s favourite girls after discovering what we did.”

“Oh. Right. Totally forgot.”

“We still deserve it as well as not attending their anniversary last moon,” said Rainbow, “Even though, she invited Fluttershy back to the anniversary after the nightmare problem.”

“Well, she didn’t want Lightning to miss out or be with me since he is her son,” said Twilight, “Plus she hates to break a heart from somepony that’s part of all our lives.”

“That’s true,” said Starlight.

Twilight, Spike and Oliver made their way out of the throne room and walked down the hallway towards the front doors so that they’re ready to let the Crystal Empire family in.

“Boy, I’ve never seen Sunny this excited, even after first meeting you and becoming your new student,” said Spike, “It almost reminds me how excited I was when Sunset made me that big gem cake. But, not the exact excitement Sunny was having.”

“You were excited, as Sunny was, when you were ready to take a bite out of it, Spike,” said Twilight, “I’m sure your excitement was more higher between hers.”

Just then, they heard two knocks on the doors. Twilight can tell that they’re here already, and they were halfway towards them.

“Oh, that must be them.” Twilight cleared her throat and softly called, “It’s open! Come in!”

The doors opened and it was revealed to be Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, Princess Amore and Princess Flurry Heart entering the castle as the little filly ran up to her auntie and happily said, “Auntie Twily!”

Twilight giggled before saying, “Hello, Flurry Heart.” She then trotted up to her niece as they did the special greeting.

“Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!” The two laughed and giggled happily while hugging each other.

They broke the hug as Flurry Heart ran up to her big brother and hugged him. Oliver hugged her back and spun around while laughing. Twilight, Spike and Oliver hugged Shining, Cadence and Amore.

“It’s so good to see you all again,” said Shining, “Especially since, this time, nothing bad is happening like the previous ones.”

“You can say that again, Dad. About time our meeting was more happy and less bad stuff happening right now,” said Oliver while Twilight was blowing raspberries on her niece’s belly making her laugh.

“So where is your new student and her friends? We’re so looking forward to meet them,” said Amore.

“They’re in the throne room. Follow us.” Twilight magically placed Flurry on her back as they trotted to the throne room.

When they got to the throne room, Twilight used her magic to open the door and walked in, with the others following behind, as she said, “Sunny, I would like you and your friends to meet my family and the first ruler of the Crystal Empire. Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, Flurry Heart and Amore.”

Sunny gasped in shock and excited. Cadence noticed this and giggled before politely saying, “Hello. You must be Sunny Starscout. Twilight has told us so much about you.”

“And we are honoured to meet you, too! I’ve been so looking forward to meeting you and your family, Princess Mi Amore Cadence!” Sunny said excitedly.

“Please, call me Cadence. I prefer being called that rather than my full name.”

“Okay. But I just wanted to say I’m a big fan. When I was a filly, my mother and father used to tell me stories about how you defeated the Changelings and became the new ruler of the Crystal Empire.”

“Did they now? Did they also mention what my husband, along with Twilight’s friends and my aunt, did to her before she saved me?” Cadence asked with interest.

“Yeah, they did,” Sunny answered before staring crossly at the white stallion, “And I wasn’t happy by his actions or his choice of words.”

Shining nervously looked away as he said, “Yeah, I figured you wouldn’t. Sometimes I wish I understand that my actions have consequences if I don’t think before I say or do it.”

“I wish we understand that more after the bad actions we’ve made,” said Rainbow.

Amore approached Sunny and said, “I’m Amore. I was once Princess of the Crystal Empire before Cadence took over long after my banishment.”

“So nice to meet you,” said Sunny, “But wait, if you’re here and Cadence’s now ruling the Crystal Empire, what do you do now?”

“Oh don’t worry, I still rule the Crystal Empire as well. I help Cadence protect it while also taking care of Flurry Heart while Shining and Cadence do important duties,” explained Amore.

“Wow. That’s amazing,” said Sunny in amazed.

Sunny saw Flurry Heart jumping off Twilight’s back and landing safely on the floor. She screamed in delight and excitement as she rushed towards the filly and laid down to Flurry’s level while asking, “Is this your daughter?!” Flurry just smiled at Sunny before waving a hoof politely at her.

“Mmhmm,” answered Cadence, “This is Flurry Heart, our little bundle of joy.”

The rest of Sunny’s friends approached the little filly and softly smiled at her.

“Awww…she’s such a cutie pie,” said Izzy softly, making Flurry blush.

Pipp gently placed her hooves on both of Flurry’s cheeks and rubbed them while cooing, “Who’s a cute filly? You are. Yes, you are.”

After Pipp had finished rubbing the filly’s cheeks, Zipp saw that Flurry Heart was an alicorn, and at a young age. She knows that ponies, like Twilight, earn their wings. But from seeing her as a young alicorn, she knows she’s the first pony to be born as one.

“Wow. A pony that was born an alicorn. You weren’t joking, Twilight,” said Zipp in amazed.

“I told her Twilight wasn’t lying,” said Sunset to Sunburst.

Zipp excitedly took out her phone while saying, “Oh I so got to know how this is possible and how you find using alicorn magic when you were…”

“Ahem!” Hitch gave Zipp a stern look, showing that she made a promise about doing questions and investigating when meeting the Crystal Empire family. And she was almost gonna break it.

“What? I just want to know how she was born an alicorn and take notes. It could be important one day…” Zipp suddenly saw Hitch tapping his hoof on the floor while raising an eyebrow. “And it wouldn’t matter, because it won’t happen again and I’ll be breaking my promise. Fine.” Zipp switched off her phone and put it away.

“Better,” said Hitch.

Sparky wanted to meet Flurry Heart himself. So he carefully climbed off Hitch’s back and walked over to the filly. He smiled happily at her as she smiled at him back.

“You have a dragon too?” Flurry asked in amazed.

“Yep. Raised him myself after finding his egg on a beach,” said Hitch in a proud tone, “His name is Sparky Sparkeroni. Named him myself, too. Say hi, Sparky.”

“Hi,” said Sparky, in a baby dragon voice, while waving his hand at Flurry.

“Hi, Sparky,” said Flurry politely while waving a hoof at the baby dragon.

Sparky chuckled before gently but playfully tapped Flurry on the shoulder. He wanted to play tag with her. Sparky ran off while laughing before Flurry could quickly tag him back. Flurry knew what he was trying to tell her as she playfully laughed and chased after the baby dragon.

“Hey, get back here! Sparky!” Flurry called playfully.

The two ran out of the room as the ponies and creatures all laughed.

“Check it out, honey. Flurry has a new friend,” said Shining happily.

Cadence giggled before saying, “She sure does.”

“So adorable,” said Misty softly.

“So Twily has been telling us you’ve been excited to meet us after inviting us to meet you,” said Shining.

Sunny started to squeal excitedly again before saying, “Oh I’ve been SO excited to meet you all! When I became her student, she told me everything about you after reading about the Crystal Empire, and I just couldn’t wait to see you!”

“Wow, has she been this excited all morning?” Cadence asked.

“Oh you have no idea,” sighed Twilight.

A few hours ago, when it was really early in the morning, Twilight was still asleep in her bed. Suddenly, she felt something, or rather somePONY, jumping on her bed.

Her eyes shot open as she sat up and saw Sunny jumping up and down on her bed with a very excited smile on her face.

“What time are they coming?! What time are they coming?!” She asked excitedly while still jumping.

Twilight groaned while placing her pillow over her face as she then asked, “Aren’t you a little grown up to be doing that?”

Shining, Cadence and Amore were shocked to hear that Sunny actually jumped on Twilight’s bed, like a little filly, to show she couldn’t wait to meet them.

“Wow. Now you know how me and Cadence feel when Flurry jumps on our bed early in the morning,” said Shining.

Twilight just chuckled as she still think Flurry jumping on her parents’ bed was cute and funny.

“Speaking of Flurry, how’s she been?” Oliver asked, “Anything new happened that impressed you both?”

“Oh she’s been doing just fine, especially after your father helped take care of the problems she was having at school,” answered Cadence.

“And she’s done brilliant with her exams,” added Shining, “Seriously, I saw an A on every piece of paper. And no Bs or Cs, and she had no help with the questions. Well, she did have a little advice from me. But she still nailed with that advice.”

“And no cheating?” Rainbow asked.

“No cheating from what we’ve heard from her teachers,” answered Shining, “I can already tell she’s gonna be a great princess when we help her princess exams.”

Applejack was the only pony surprised by this.

“You’re…gonna teach her how to be a princess already?”

“Yep. Nothing too hard or too serious. Just showing her how to use princess magic, how to form a magical shield like Cadence did, how to run the princess title her own way and how to handle royal guards. That’s all we plan to do for her, and we’re gonna do them one at a time one month at a time,” said Shining, “We just started teaching her princess magic a few days back. And she’s been learning so fast, I couldn’t stop feeling proud of my baby girl.”

Applejack wasn’t too sure about it. She still remembered how Flurry Heart was the first pony to be born an alicorn and how she managed to destroy the Crystal Empire, and she couldn’t help but think teaching Flurry these things right away could lead to her losing control again and doing something that can lead to big accidents and make something bad happen.

“Wow! She passed all her exams? That’s incredible!” Twilight said proudly, “I’m gonna have to buy her a special treat for all her hard work.”

Cadence approach Misty and said, “So, Misty, Twilight told me how you used to help an evil alicorn before getting your cutie mark and discovering your true family after leaving her side.” Misty started feeling nervous as she rubbed her hoof. She was worried Cadence might tell her off or say how wrong she was for helping Opaline. However, Cadence was smiling before saying, “I’m so proud you chose to leave her and be with your friends and real family.”

That made Misty gasp in surprise.

“You must be really proud making the right decision and joining the good side,” said Cadence.

Misty smiled at Cadence before saying, “Well, I couldn’t have done it or found my real family if I haven’t met these ponies and showed me the true meaning of friendship.”

The mane five smiled at Misty.

Just then, Flurry Heart and Sparky entered back into the throne room. They’ve finished playing tag after running out of breath and decided to rest for a bit after starting their friendship.

The adults and children saw them come in as Shining said, “Well, looks like you two had fun. Did you enjoyed playing together?”

“Uh-huh,” answered Flurry, “I tagged Sparky two times while he tagged me three times. He’s really good at playing tag.”

“I’ll say,” said Hitch, “Were you behaving like a good dragon while playing with Flurry, Sparky?” Hitch gently rubbed the dragon’s head as he giggled before nodding his head to answer his Papa’s question.

“Also, while we were playing, I spotted a cinema next to Auntie Twily’s castle,” said Flurry Heart, “I didn’t know you started having a cinema, Auntie Twily.”

Twilight scratched the back of her head before saying, “Well, it’s kind of a long story, little bug. And to be honest, it’s not exactly my cinema. Let’s start from the very beginning.”

Twilight began explain to Shining, Cadence, Flurry and Amore how a cinema magically appeared out of nowhere and for some unknown reason that they still haven’t figured out yet. She also told them how there was only room with a projector that can send them into any film it decides to show and they can be trapped in that film until they’ve reached the end of the film.

She then told them how their first adventure, in a film, was how they helped a woman, who can see into the future, to save three girls from an evil man who was trying to kill them in order to “save” his future.

The Crystal Empire were completely shocked after hearing the story. Shining’s eyes were wide in surprise, Cadence and Amore had their hooves over their opened mouths and Flurry was shocked that her mouth was opened as she moved her hoof over it.

“Oh my. You really went through all that?” Amore asked.

“Yep. Been through a lot of danger from escaping Ezekiel Sims to surviving from an exploding building,” said Smolder.

“Me and Cassie nearly drained,” said Misty.

“Zipp wouldn’t stop bothering poor Lightning about his bloodline with The Storm King,” said Izzy.

“No need to rub it in, Izzy,” said Zipp through clenched teeth.

“And little pony had strange dream with somepony laughing evilly,” said Yona.

“Did he? Oh dear, is he doing alright now?” Cadence asked worried. She was worried that Lightning might be going through the same experience he had before with the nightmares he had.

“Yeah, he’s okay,” answered Fluttershy, “It wasn’t anything like the nightmares he had back then. This one is still a mystery to why he only had it and what was it trying to tell him.”

“But me and Silverstream often stay with him just in case he has more and none of us do,” added Smolder.

“I see. So Lightning has a strange dream while none of you, like it couldn’t be bothered to tell you something as well,” said Amore, “That is very strange.”

“Mama, Dad, I know that cinema is strange and it wasn’t meant to be there, but can we at least take a look inside? Please?” She then gave her parents the puppy eyes.

Shining chuckled before saying, “Well, if it’s okay with your auntie, then I don’t see why not.”

Flurry smiled at her auntie with her puppy eyes still showing.

Twilight smiled at her niece’s pleading look as she then said, “Well, I don’t think a little tour around it won’t do any harm. So, yeah. We can take you inside the cinema.”

Sparkly nodded his head happily while saying, “Yeah, yeah, yeah.” He then grabbed one of Flurry’s hooves and dragged her towards the cinema while cheering.

“I’m coming, Sparky. Not so fast,” giggled Flurry.

The others all laughed at Sparky’s excited behaviour, even Hitch was laughing too. “Oh that baby dragon. There’s no stopping his happiness,” said Hitch as they all left the throne room and headed towards the cinema while Lightning rode on Silverstream’s back.

Flurry and Sparky entered the cinema first as Sparky let go of Flurry’s hoof and started jumping up and down excitedly while pointing at the popcorn stand. Flurry gasped in surprise after seeing it.

“They have popcorn here?!”

Sparky nodded his head before running to the stand, grabbed a box of popcorn and ran back to the filly. He placed the box in front of her and pointed at the popcorn, telling her to try one. Flurry looked at the popcorn before shrugging her shoulders and took one piece. She threw it into her mouth and chewed it. Her eyes went into wide shock. She had never tasted popcorn like this before. This led to her eating more with Sparky eating some as well.

The adults and children entered the cinema and saw the two enjoying themselves with popcorn. This made them smile, including Shining.

Twilight walked over to the two, while giggling, before asking, “Enjoying yourselves, are we?”

Flurry nodded her head before swallowing the popcorn in her mouth and said, “This popcorn is so yummy. I’ve never had popcorn like this before.”

“Really? Let’s try one then.” Shining took a piece of popcorn and threw it in his mouth. He chewed on it before his eyes went wide in shock. “Wow! Now that IS best popcorn!” He started eating some more.

“Dad, save some for the rest of us,” laughed Flurry.

“Hey, if anypony’s gonna be fat in this family, it’s gonna be me,” said Shining before continuing to eat more popcorn.

“So, where’s this one room with that odd projector, Twilight?” Cadence asked.

“Just up ahead. Follow me,” answered Twilight politely as she led her family to that one room with her friends, nephews and students following behind while Shining finished the last popcorn in the box and threw the empty box in a nearby bin.

The ponies and creatures entered the theatre room where the Crystal Empire family saw it had seats in a row in front of a big screen with that strange projector behind the seats.

“Wow. So this is that one theatre room in this cinema,” said Shining while looking around the place.

“Yeah, really strange when we first saw it. Which is why we never opened this cinema to the public,” said Sunset.

“And I take it that’s the strange projector that sends you into any film it chooses,” said Cadence as she pointed at the projector.

“Yep. The one that we still have no idea how or why its here,” said Oliver, “Not even Constantine has an answer or theory about it just yet.”

“And if somepony pulls that lever, it will start up and sends you into the big screen, right?” Flurry asked.

“Yes,” answered Twilight, “And it’s very dangerous since there’s no telling what film we could be in next. Which is why we refuse to use it unless it’s necessary.”

Flurry started to feel worried that she might switch on the projector, even by accident. She took a few steps back where she bumped into her father’s hoof. Shining can tell she was worried about it, so he smiled at his daughter and gently rubbed her mane as he said, “It’s okay, sweetie. I know you wouldn’t turn it on, even if it was just an accident. But I understand why you wish to not stand near it. And I know it looks dangerous from what your auntie has said, which is why I’m not going near it either.”

“Your father’s right, Flurry,” said Pinkie, “You mustn’t touch the lever and pull it, like this.” Pinkie pulled the lever on the projector while Twilight and the girls shouted, “No, Pinkie! Don’t!”

But it was too late. The projector was now back on as it shone a bright light on the big screen before turning into a portal.

“Oh sweet Celestia, Pinkie! Why?!” Rarity asked crossly.

Flurry screamed in fear as she saw ashes coming off her hooves and into the screen. “What’s happening to me?!”

“We’re about to be sent into the screen again!” Ocellus answered in fear.

Their bodies all went into pieces of ashes while flowing into the big screen. “Not again!” Pipp screamed as the ashes flew into the big screen altogether before the portal disappeared from the screen, trapping them all in another movie.

“Some things start out big and some things start out small. Very small. But sometimes the smallest thing can make the biggest changes of all.”

In a land, known as the Nesting Grounds, there was nest filled with dinosaur eggs. A mother Iguanodon nuzzled the one egg that was in the middle of her nest. She smiled at her egg before looking up and sees a flock of Ichthyornis flying in the distance, making noises.

The mother Iguanodon carefully pushed the egg with the rest of her eggs as a baby Parasaurolophus looks at the nest before the mother shoos it away. But it returned as it starts sniffing the eggs. The mother growled at the Parasaurolophus, making it run off.

The baby Parasaurolophus runs to the other nests, but gets shooed off by the dinosaur mothers guarding them. It then later ran through the river through a flock of Ichthyornis as it watched them fly away into the sky.

The baby Parasaurolophus saw a Longisquama landing on a log as it walked towards it. The Longisquama ate a dragonfly before flying away after the baby Parasaurolophus got too close.

The Parasaurolophus chased the Longisquama into a forest where the reptile landed on a tree. The Parasaurolophus came in close proximity to the Longisquama, but it flew up to what appeared to be a tree.

The Parasaurolophus looks up at it as two drops of saliva landing on a tree branch. It looks at one of them and sniffs it before looking up again to see it came from a mouth of a biggest and nastiest dinosaur in the valley.

The Parasaurolophus ran out of the forest in terror while crying which caught the attention of the mother Iguanodon and the other dinosaurs.

Suddenly, out from inside the forest, came a bloodthirsty Carnotaur as it bursted from the trees and roared. It looked at the baby Parasaurolophus, but had no interest in it as it ran past the Parasaurolophus and towards the big dinosaurs.

The dinosaurs all ran away. The mother Iguanodon tried to resist as much as she could with her nest, while the other dinosaurs ran over her, but the Carnotaur was coming in so fast that she had no choice but to flee with the others as the Carnotaur’s foot broke her nest and her eggs. Except for one.

The Carnotaur roared before seeing a Pachyrhinosaurus trying to escape, but it couldn’t run that fast as the Carnotaur pinned it down to the ground, with his teeth, and killed it before let out a roar and began eating its meal while the other dinosaurs escaped.

The only surviving egg just laid on the destroyed nest as a Oviraptor came in and sees it. It then grabbed the egg and run into the forest, past the river and on the log to where no dinosaur can see it.

The Oviraptor looked behind to see if no dinosaur was around before dropping the egg a few times. It was then ready to take a bite, but then heard a noise before looking behind. Suddenly, another Oviraptor grabbed the egg and the two brawl over it before it fell from their claws and ended up in the river. The two watched it disappeared before they brawled again.

The egg flew in the river as a Koolasuchus swallowed it, but then spat it out. It watched it float back up before swimming away. Two Talarurus were quarrelling before seeing the egg pop up and floating away. One of them sniffed it before they went back to quarrelling.

The egg continued to float in the river as a herd of Pachyrhinosaurus drinking from that river. A Pteranodon flew by and picked the egg up with its beck as it flew down a waterfall and through the stream.

It then flew past a bunch of dinosaurs and underneath one’s tail before flying to a far away where it flew to its nest so she can feed the egg to its two babies.

However, before it can feed them, two Ichthyornis pestered the Pteranodon as it dropped the egg and it flew into the branches of a tree.
