Chapter 1

It was another sunny day on the rock farm, which Pinkie's family worked on! Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz were talking as they pulled a wagon loaded with rocks, while Maude, Limestone, and Marble Pie sorted through them, and Pinkie stood atop a pile of rocks, watching as if she were expecting someone.

Igneous saw this and groaned, "Face it Pinkie, he's not coming. Just as well, I never did trust his kind."

"But Pa, he probably just got lost! After all, he didn't ask for directions!", Pinkie pleaded.

"Because he was stubborn!", Cloudy retorted.

"No, I think I upset him when I asked about his old home, so he forgot about asking for directions."

"What about his old home?", asked Marble Pie shyly.

"Well see what happened was... Look! It's him!"

They turned to see what looked like a fin, slicing through the ground, stopping in front of Pinkie before going under. It popped out, attached to a stone colored dragon, with lots of fur and no wings, and very sharp horns.

"Sorry, I got lost!", he sighed.

"You made it! Ma, Pa! This is Granite Braveheart! He's a Quarry Dragon!", Pinkie.

"So when do I start?", asked the Quarry Dragon.

"As soon as Marble shows around the farm. Marble, could you please show this dragon around?", Igneous frowned.

"Sure thing, Pa! Follow me, mister.", Marble answered in her pretty, but shy voice.

As they walked away from the others, the Quarry Dragon turned and said, "So your name is Marble Pie? I like it. It's a beautiful name."

"Thank you. I never did catch your name, could you please repeat it?", Marble blushed.

"Granite Braveheart, but you can take me for Granite, everyone else does.", he smiled.

Marble giggled a bit before asking, "Would it be alright if I just called you Nite?"

"Sure, I don't mind. Sounds a lot better. Ooooh! Is that iron?!", he said as they passed a rock the size of Marble's hoof.

He scooped it up with his paw and threw it in his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed.

"You like iron too?! It's my favorite!", Marble grinned.

"Yeah, it's nice and salty. And crispy.", Nite smiled

After showing him around, Marble took Nite back to the farmhouse for dinner, Flintstone Stew.

After dinner, and Nite went out to take care a couple of chores while everyone else got ready for bed, Marble slipped into her nightgown, and hopped in bed, dreaming sweet dreams of her handsome Quarry Dragon and her.
