A few days have passed and everything has returned to normal. Ponies gathered together with the help of the dinosaurs to repair the destruction in Ponyville. But, as always, peace doesn't last long.


In the Everfree Forest, a dinosaur carcass lies on the ground. What killed it? Who knows?

It mostly died of weakness, old age, disease, or...something, for it wasn't killed by a bigger predator for no gash marks, bite marks, or claw marks aren't seen anywhere on it.

But, it is already showing signs of decay. However, this attracts predators. Then, nearby, bushes rustle. Then, a few Compsognathus, Compy's for short, appear from the underbrush.

The Compy's swarm all over the carcass, starting a tiny feeding frenzy.

Compy's are one of the smallest dinosaurs ever known, being only a length of about 3 feet and about a foot in height, which is about as big as a turkey.

Compsognathus lived 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic in areas of Europe, like France and Germany. However, the feeding frenzy is soon ruined as something bursts through the bushes.

It stops and let's out a roar, scaring the Compy's away as they scatter into the bushes. The owner was a familiar face...an Australovenator. Not only that, it is the same one from the Crystal Empire.

His scars have healed from the fight with Twilight, Simon, Barry, and Albert. He walks up to the carcass and begins gorging himself as he hasn't made a successful kill in the last few days.

He had almost gotten his fill when he sensed something wasn't right. He looked around and growled. From within the forest, something was watching him. Then, a flash of teeth shot from out of the forest.

Everything felt like it was in slow motion as the Australovenator moves out of the way of the jaws. The jaws snap and the Australovenator faces his opponent. It was Red Claw.

Red Claw faces the Australovenator and stands at his full height and growls at the smaller predator.

Seeing how big Red Claw is, the Australovenator immediately has second thoughts about facing something that is clearly way bigger than he is.

Red Claw let's out a mighty, thunderous roar and the Australovenator immediately takes off running. Red Claw then snorts before he turns back to the carcass and gorges on its flesh.


The Australovenator runs far away from Red Claw. When he knows he's safe, he stops running and continues on walking. But then, an opening in the forest reveals a familiar sight...Ponyville.

Seeing the town intrigues the dinosaur, but of what happened last time, he has second thoughts. So, instead, not wanting to take the risk, he continues on.


Meanwhile, Applebloom is on her way to Zecora's for a little more practice on her potion skills, and maybe for a little bit of chitchat.

With the arrival of the dinosaurs, she's been a little more cautious going into the Everfree Forest, especially by herself.

"I wonder what Zecora's up to today?" Applebloom said to herself as she walks down the path. But then, she stopped dead in her tracks as she felt as something, to her, wasn't right.

For one, the Everfree Forest was very quiet. Another thing is that she felt as if she was being watched. Then, a twig snapped. The hairs stood on end as she heard the sound. She looked around anxiously.

"Hello?" Applebloom said nervously. Then, she heard a growling sound. Her ears perked up as her head slowly turned towards the growling.

She was soon met with the gaze of eyes and sharp teeth which belonged to the silhouette of a dinosaur. She slowly backed away from it, her eyes widened in fear.

The dinosaur stepped forward from the shadows and revealed to be the Australovenator. Drool dripped from his jaws, showing that his appetite wasn't satisfied, but it showed the slightest bit of anger as well.

The two stared at each other for a moment when the Australovenator lets out a roar and Applebloom screams.

The Australovenator lunges at her but she dodges and she immediately takes off running back for Ponyville. The Australovenator focuses on her, roars, and takes off after her.

Applebloom runs as fast as she can, but the Australovenator is slowly gaining on her. She jumps over a log, hoping that will slow him down, but he leaps over the log with ease.

Then, she zigzags through a maze of trees and tall grass. But, that doesn't stop him as he's as agile as Applebloom is.

The maze of trees slows him down temporarily, and he loses sight of Applebloom in the tall grass, but he easily picks up her scent and soon catches glimpse of her. He immediately resumes the chase.

Applebloom sees ahead the opening that leads out of the Everfree Forest and quickly picks up speed as she felt relief. However, the Australovenator catches up to her.

He snaps his jaws at her, but she dodges it. However, she loses her footing, falls to the ground, and tumbles across the ground. She soon stops tumbling, all battered and bruised now.

She opens her eyes and looks up. She tries to get up, but she felt pain in her right back hoof. She winced in pain and looked back at it as it was red for she had sprained it.

But then, she hears growling and looks as the Australovenator nears her, stalking her and growling, saliva dripping from his jaws. He soon hovers over her.

They stare at each other for a moment when the Australovenator rears up and roars. Applebloom covers her face with hooves as she waits for the worst to happen and be over with.

However, nothing happened. She unblocked her hooves, opened her eyes, and looked up at the Australovenator.

The Australovenator just stared down at her, completely calm and content from what he was just a few seconds earlier.

Applebloom was completely shocked and caught off guard by this that she thought she was in a dream. She rubbed her eyes, but nothing. This was real. That's when it hit her.

This was just like with Allison and Applejack. Applebloom realized that this was the same thing. Applebloom was now full of excitement as she now had a dinosaur companion. But, she held it in.

The Australovenator then bends down and smells her before nudging her in the face, purring. Applebloom smiles and pats him on the snout. Then, he backs up, giving her room to get up.

She struggles to get up with her sprained hoof. She tries to walk, but she grits her teeth in pain. The Australovenator helps her as she wraps her hoof around his neck.

"Thank you" she said. The Australovenator nods and smiles. Then, they headed back for Applejack's. However, instead, she decided to head for Zecora's since she's closer and she can help her with her sprain.

But, if it was just her in her injured state, she would think twice of heading back into the Everfree Forest. But, she has her dinosaur to protect her now.

As they headed to Zecora's, Applebloom tried to think of a name for her dinosaur, but she still paid attention for dangers that lurked in this forest, but the Australovenator was also doing that job as well.

"Now, what to name you" Applebloom said. The Australovenator looked at her, intrigued by her answer. Applebloom thought long and hard for a moment. Then, she got it.

"Austin" she said. The Australovenator agreed to that with a smile and a couragious roar. Applebloom was glad he liked the name.

"You're a boy, right?" Applebloom asked. Austin looked back at her and nodded. Applebloom was relieved she picked a good name and a right name, too. The two continued on towards Zecora's.


MEANWHILE

Rarity was looking for gems in the Gem Cave she's been visiting lately. But, instead of Spike accompanying her, Sweetiebelle decided to tag along and help her. Spike was busy anyway with something.

Not only that, Bruce had decided to tag along as well. He's healed with from his fight with Red Claw.

Although, he didn't get badly injured, he was pretty banged up and, for a tough carnivorous dinosaur, he was sore for a few days after the fight from being thrown around, especially being thrown into the side of that house.

But, he's fully recovered now. As they wander about the cave, Rarity picks the best gems and tosses them back. Sweetiebelle, using her magic, catches them in a bucket. Bruce just keeps an eye out for danger.

Bats are easily scared off by a thunderous roar, however, there could be other things in this cave as well, bigger and scarier things, but you never know.

As they trek through the cave, they run into a familiar face. "Maud, is that you?" Sweetiebelle said. Maud was using a pickax and was chipping the wall of the cave with it when she noticed the 3.

She sets down the pickax before she speaks.

"Oh, hello, Sweetiebelle, Rarity, and..." she had trouble remembering the names of the dinosaurs.

"Bruce, darling" Rarity said. "What you up to?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"Just chipping at this wall of limestone. I'm trying to find fossils" Maud replied.

"Ooh" Sweetiebelle said, intrigued at the idea.

"Well, that sounds lovely, darling. But, we're gathering gems right now" Rarity said, gesturing to Sweetiebelle and she pouted.

"Come on, darling, we still have more gems to collect" Rarity said and Sweetiebelle followed. Bruce also followed them.

"Rarity" Maud said. Rarity stopped and turned back.

"Yes, Maud?" Rarity replied.

"Be careful. I saw a large predatory dinosaur earlier lurking around here. I don't know if it's lost, but you better keep on your hooves for it may be hungry" Maud warned.

"Thank you for the heads up, dear. We will definitely keep an eye out" Rarity said before they continued on and Maud went back to chipping. Several minutes and many gems later, Rarity had enough gems.

"Alright, let's go" Rarity said.

"Finally! My hooves are killing me and I'm so bored" Sweetiebelle said. Rarity rolled her eyes and they headed back, even though she was just as much as a drama queen sometimes.

However, from a darker part of the tunnel, they were being watched by hungry eyes. As they head back, Sweetiebelle, along with Bruce, begin to here stomping behind them.

They both look back at the same time, but see nothing.

"You here it, too?" Sweetiebelle asked Bruce. Bruce replied with a nod. He smelled the air and growled.

"Sweetiebelle? Bruce? Come along now" Rarity called. Then, thinking it was nothing, Sweetiebelle continues on.

Bruce stares at the emptiness of the cave behind them for a bit longer before continuing on, but he's still suspicious and on guard. As they continue on, they seem to not be getting anywhere.

"Rarity, are we lost?" Sweetiebelle questioned.

"Don't be ridiculous, darling" Rarity laughed. Sweetiebelle instead raised in eyebrow, kind of how Applejack does.

"Okay, maybe we took a few wrong turns. I was in such a rush I forgot the map" Rarity replied.

"Ugh" Sweetiebelle groaned. Bruce just shook his head.

"Now, let's calm down. All we need to do is find Maud" Rarity said.

"How do you exactly expect us to do that with us being lost?" Sweetiebelle questioned. Rarity started panicking as she started pacing, assessing her options.

But, what they didn't know is that something was still watching them with hungry eyes. Then, Bruce perked up as he smelled something. He immediately headed in a certain direction.

"Bruce, darling, where are you going?" Rarity asked anxiously. However, he didn't respond.

"Maybe he's going to find help" Sweetiebelle said.

"Yes, let's just wait here and everything should be fine" Rarity said, starting to calm down.

"Although, shouldn't we follow him?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"No, we should be fine" Rarity said. But, just as she said that, a growl was heard from within the darkness.

Rarity's right ear perked up and her eyes widened in horror as she slowly turned her head towards the sound and frowned.

Sweetiebelle also turned towards the sound as her eyes widened, her ears lowered, and she frowned. Then, stomping was heard as the owner revealed itself. It was a dinosaur, as big as Bruce.

It had small arms like Bruce, and sort of the same structure as that of Bruce. the only thing it lacked was two horns over it's eyes. However, it did have a single rounded horn on the top of it's head.

This dinosaur is known as... Majungasaurus. Majungasaurus is an abelisaurid and is closely related to Carnotaurus, explaining there similar body structure. Abelisaurids were the "tyrannosaurs of the South".

They are very similar in their evolution: they are both big, ferocious predators, top predators, have short arms, and have strong jaws.

Majungasaurus was also one of the last and biggest abelisaurids, like Tyrannosaurus. Majungasaurus lived 70-66 million years ago in what is now Madagascar during the Late Cretaceous.

Majungasaurus is 28 feet in length and 9 feet tall to the hip, 22 feet shorter and 3 feet smaller than Tyrannosaurus.

The Majungasaurus stares down at the two meals before him, growling with saliva dripping from his jaws. Sweetiebelle and Rarity are struck with fear.

This was the dinosaur that Maud warned them of, and now it had found them and they were soon to be eaten and dead. Then, the Majungasaurus breaks the silence with a mighty roar.

Rarity and Sweetiebelle both scream in terror as they take off in both directions. The Majungasaurus had to choose between the two victims.

Then, it made the choice of Sweetiebelle since she was smaller and would make an easy snack. The Majungasaurus ran at its top speed and chased after Sweetiebelle. Sweetiebelle ran as fast as she could.

She looked back to here stomping as the Majungasaurus soon appeared and roared after her. She screamed and picked up speed. However, the Majungasaurus's long legs were making it easy to gain on her.

Soon, the dinosaur was on her tail. It snapped its jaws at her, but she dodged it. After running for awhile and running this way and that way, she was stopped by what she hoped wouldn't happen, a dead end.

She screeched to a stop in front of the wall that blocked her path. She then slowly turned back, her eyes widened, ears down, and a frown across her face.

Stomping was heard, along with growling as the Majungasaurus rounded the corner. The two stared at each other for a moment before the Majungasaurus moved in for the final kill.

She was immobilized by fear as she stared up at the dinosaur which towered over her. Soon, the Majungasaurus was standing over her. Sweetiebelle couldn't run anywhere.

She was trapped and had to face her own demise. The Majungasaurus lowered down, growling and glaring at Sweetiebelle, before roaring in her face. Sweetiebelle closed her eyes, waiting for it to be over.

But, strangely, nothing happened. She opened one eye, but only to find the Majungasaurus at her level, just staring at her, completely calm. Sweetiebelle opened both eyes.

She blinked her eyes a couple of time making sure it wasn't a dream. But, this was real. She started to calm down, but was still weary. She regained herself and the two just stared at each other.

But then, a roar interrupted them. The Majungasaurus turned to be face to face with Bruce, along with Rarity and Maud. The Majungasaurus responded with it slowly showing its teeth before it roared back.

The Majungasaurus stands between Bruce and Sweetiebelle like Sweetiebelle is a baby and the Majungasaurus is the mom.

Majungasaurus, like all other predatory dinosaurs, were very protective of their young. The Majungasaurus stepped back closer to Sweetiebelle, protecting her.

The Majungasaurus growled at Bruce, showing its teeth. Bruce growled back, showing his teeth. But, Maud and Rarity noticed the Majungasaurus's behavior.

"Bruce, stand down" Rarity said. Bruce was surprised by what she said, but he obeyed. Rarity then walks forward towards the two. The Majungasaurus growls at Rarity.

"It's okay" Rarity assured.

"Don't worry, she's a friend. They're all friends" Sweetiebelle said. Hearing this, the Majungasaurus began to calm down. Sweetiebelle then ran forward to her sister and Rarity embraced her in a hug.

Sweetiebelle accepted the hug.

"I was so worried. I thought for sure..." Rarity said.

"It's okay, sis. It seems that the dinosaur is my dinosaur, like with you and the others" Sweetiebelle said. Then they break away and turn towards the Majungasaurus.

The Majungasaurus looks down at them and smiles and the two smile back.

"What should I name her?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"That's your decision, darling" Rarity replied. Sweetiebelle gave it some thought before she got it.

"Maddie" she said. The Majungasaurus liked it as she responded with a happy roar.

"Alright then, Maddie it is" Sweetiebelle said and Maddie smiles. Then, Bruce and Maud approach.

"This is the same dinosaur I saw earlier. I didn't think it would choose you, Sweetiebelle" Maud said, shocked, even though her face had no emotion. Bruce smiled at Maddie and she smiled back.

He let out a low grumble, apologizing. She responded with a roar, telling him it's okay.

"Well, looks like they're getting along nicely" Sweetiebelle said.

"But, now, where's the exit" Rarity said.

"Follow me. I'll help you" Maud said.

"Oh, bless you, dear" Rarity said and the 5 headed for the entrance of the cave.


MEANWHILE

Rainbow bursts through a cloud. She then loops around and circles around two more clouds, causing them to swirl before she takes a stance midair. Below, Scootaloo and Rampage watch her performance.

They cheered as she took her stance. She looked down at them and smiled.

"Looking great, Rainbow" Scootaloo shouted and Rampage roared in agreement. Then, she headed towards them

"Thanks, Scoots. I want this training to pay off in my upcoming Wonderbolt show" Rainbow said as she landed.

"I know you'll do great, and let's hope you don't screw up like last time" Scootaloo said and Rampage roared in agreement.

"Thanks. I'm gonna need it" Rainbow said before she blasted back up into the sky at blazing speed. Scootaloo cheered as Rampage watched


In the forest behind them, a three-toed foot stomps down. Three fingered claws are seen. The dinosaur's teeth are seen as they are knife-like and serrated. Then, the dinosaur is revealed.

It looks like Giganotosaurus, but it is anything but. It is a relative, that lived on a different continent, at a different time. It is also smaller than Giganotosaurus by a few feet.

Meet Giganotosaurus's cousin...Carcharodontosaurus. Carcharodontosaurus lived in Africa during the Late Cretaceous Period, 100-94 mya.

Measuring 39 to 44 feet in length and almost 16 feet tall, Carcharodontosaurus was still bigger than T-Rex, but smaller than Giganotosaurus. But, surprisingly, it wasn't the only giant killer of its time.

It was constantly in fights with its own species for territory, however, there was something bigger that Carcharodontosaurus faced occasionally...Spinosaurus.

Back then, Africa suffered from seasonal drought, forcing Spinosaurus to search elsewhere for food when it's hunting grounds dry up.

So, driving it inland and away from it's regular source of food, Spinosaurus had to pick off the scraps of dead dinosaurs, or hunt, and that meant competition with Carcharodontosaurus.

So, during the dry season, fights broke out between these two massive creatures because of competition for food. This Carcharodontosaurus is searching for food, as his last meal was 3 days ago.

Then, he sees Scootaloo as an easy target and something to tie him over until he found something else. But, he had to get that bigger creature away from her.

At first, he thought it was another Carcharodontosaurus, however, he realized it was something different. He looked at Rampage and it looked like him, but it was not another Carcharodontosaurus.

It had a different smell to it. Dinosaurs recognize each other through smell, whether it'd be a different species, threat, or friend.

The Carcharodontosaurus treaded closer, but accidentally caused a branch to snap. This caught Rampage's attention. She shot her head around and smelled something she didn't like.

She got up and slowly walked towards the Carcharodontosaurus's position. The Carcharodontosaurus quickly began to back away, but he would fight if he had to.

However, he just wanted to get an easy meal. So, he chose the safe option of moving away. Scootaloo was the first to notice Rampage.

"What's wrong, girl?" Scootaloo asked. Rampage looked back to her and roared, gesturing to the forest. Scootaloo got up and walked towards the forest as well.

But then, Rampage blocked Scootaloo with her tail, telling her to stop and stand back. Then, Rampage growled before she let out a thunderous roar and charged towards the forest.

She smashed through the treeline, leaving a trail of destruction behind her.

Rainbow stopped her training as she heard the commotion. She looked down just to see Rampage before she headed off into the forest. She then flew down and landed next to Scootaloo.

"Where's she going?" Rainbow asked.

"I don't know" Scootaloo replied, "She just got a sneaking suspicion that something was wrong before she took off. She was also defending me as well".

Rainbow wondered that, but she shrugged it off as whatever it was Rampage was chasing would be far away by now. So, she took back up into the air to resume her training.

"Wait, aren't you going to go get her?" Scootaloo asked.

"Nah. She'll be back before you know it" Rainbow replied. So, Scootaloo just sat and watched Rainbow. But, little did she know that the Carcharodontosaurus had fooled Rampage and is now stalking up on her.

Scootaloo was oblivious of his presence. Then, when he was within striking distance, he was just about to attack Scootaloo when something hit him, a thought more so that prevented him from attacking.

"You will be chosen to be with Scootaloo...". The Carcharodontosaurus shook his head, but he no longer saw Scootaloo as food, but rather as a friend. He bent down and smelled her.

He snorted and that startled her. She looked behind her to be face-to-face with the massive predator. However, she thought it was Rampage.

"Well, that didn't take long. You know, you dinosaurs should definitely learn to talk so we can understand you and know what you guys are thinking and are up to because, sometimes, it's hard to tell" Scootaloo said.

The Carcharodontosaurus was completely confused. Then, the moment was broken by a thunderous roar. The Carcharodontosaurus and Scootaloo turned to see Rampage standing at the edge of the forest.

Rampage roared at Scootaloo and gestured her to come.

"Rampage?" Scootaloo questioned. She couldn't tell the difference b/w the two. They looked exactly the same. However, they had different color variations.

Then, the Carcharodontosaurus went into defensive mode, blocking Scootaloo. He roared and Rampage roared back. Then, suddenly, Rainbow came in and picked up Scootaloo.

The Carcharodontosaurus noticed and lunged at Rainbow, just missing her. She swooped around and landed next to Rampage, setting Scootaloo down behind her.

"Stay here, and we'll deal with this guy" Rainbow said, "Ready, Rampage!?". Rampage responded with a roar. The two took battle stances as the Carcharodontosaurus roared.

"Wait!" Scootaloo shouted, just as Rainbow and Rampage were about to charge. Then, Scootaloo walked forward ahead of Rainbow and Rampage.

"Scootaloo! What are you doing?" Rainbow questioned. Rampage wondered the same thing. She continued walking forward and didn't answer.

The Carcharodontosaurus soon calmed down and watched as Scootaloo drew closer. She stopped just in front of him, and he slowly bent down.

The Carcharodontosaurus stopped as soon as he was eye level with Scootaloo.

After a moment of eye contact, Scootaloo slowly put her hoof out, and not long after, the Carcharodontosaurus pressed his snout against it, closing his eyes and letting out a soft, purring growl.

A smile appeared across her face as she couldn't believe it. Rainbow and Rampage looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Soon, the moment was over and the Carcharodontosaurus backed away and raised back up. The two looked back at Rampage and Rainbow.

The two couldn't help but smile as they knew Scootaloo had her companion. Scootaloo then turned back to the Carcharodontosaurus with a smile.

The Carcharodontosaurus smiled back before he let's out a thunderous roar that echoes throughout.


THE NEXT DAY

Things have already calmed down. The Cutie Mark Crusaders introduced their companions to their sisters, and it was a happy meeting. Today, however, is a meeting at the TreeClubHouse. This will be the first time the 3 will introduce their dinosaurs to each together. Let's see how it plays out.


Applebloom happily trots along towards the clubhouse, Austin following behind her.

"Oh, you're going to like my friends, Austin" Applebloom said. Austin smiled back at her, agreeing. They soon drew closer, and in the distance, they saw Sweetiebelle and...another dinosaur? Applebloom halted and so did Austin.

"Is it me, or does she have a dinosaur?" Applebloom said. Austin shook his head. Knowing that fact, they continued forward. Soon, they met up with Sweetiebelle.

"You got a dinosaur, too!?" Sweetiebelle asked in surprise.

"Yep" Applebloom replied.

"What's his name?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"Austin. What about yours?" Applebloom replied.

"Maddie" Sweetiebelle said. Austin and Maddie were already getting along. They were suspicious of each other at first, but they soon put it aside.

"Where's Scootaloo?" Applebloom asked.

"She should be here soon" Sweetiebelle replied. Then, they swore they could feel the ground rumble. Then, a low stomping sound was heard, but it grew louder and closer.

"Hey guys!" a voice shouted. They looked and they saw Scootaloo...riding on the back of a dinosaur. They were in complete shock.

The Carcharodontosaurus grew closer before skidding to a stop, dirt and dust splashing all over the 2, causing them to cough. Scootaloo then floated down to them.

"Scootaloo!" they both said with excitement.

"You got a dinosaur, too!?" Applebloom said.

"Yep, it's pretty cool. Riding on the back of one, especially this one, is way better than riding on the back of a scooter" Scootaloo said. Then, she saw their dinosaurs.

"I see you got some, too" Scootaloo said.

"Yep. Just yesterday, too" Sweetiebelle said. That surprised Scootaloo and Applebloom.

"You just got yours yesterday?" Applebloom questioned.

"Yeah, why?" Sweetiebelle wondered.

Applebloom and Scootaloo looked at each other before smiling.

"So did we!" they both said.

"No way!" Sweetiebelle said and the 3 fillies laughed.

"That's quite the coincodence" Scootaloo said.

"I'll say" Applebloom said. Meanwhile, the dinosaurs were bonding with each other. The Carcharodontosaurus, at first, was uneasy, along with the other two.

He waved at the two with a smile, and the other two waved back with an uneasy smile. But, after getting to know each other, the dinosaurs calmed down.

The 3 turned and smiled, happy to see them getting along.

"Well, looks like they're getting along all ready" Applebloom said.

"Yep" Scootaloo said.

"What's your dinosaur's name?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"I named him Carl. What about yours?"

"Austin" Applebloom replied.

"Maddie" Sweetiebelle answered.

"Hey, we're going to have to show them to Twilight later" Scootaloo said.

"Yeah, she can tell us what kind of dinosaurs we got" Sweetiebelle said, agreeing.

"But first, the meeting" Applebloom said.

"Oh right" Scootaloo said.

The three fillies hurried into the club house, their dinosaurs following. Carl watched through the window, Austin was just small enough to enter, and Maddie also watched through a window.

Applebloom went up behind the podium as Austin stood next to her while Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle sat on the floor in front of the podium. Applebloom then banged her hoof on the podium.

"Here yee, here yee!" she said aloud, "I am happy to announce that this is our first meeting with our dinosaurs". The three fillies cheered, and so did their dinosaurs.

"Looks like our group doubled" Scootaloo said.

"Yeah, but what do we do with our dinosaurs?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"Well, they can't get cutie marks" Applebloom said.

"There's got to be something" Scootaloo said. The three thought long and hard. Then, Applebloom got an idea.

"How about they just join us on certain missions" Applebloom said.

"Yeah, that's like the only thing they could do" Sweetiebelle said.

"Wait, what about if we ask Twilight if we could join the Defense Force?" Scootaloo suggested.

"Yeah, that's an excellent idea and even better. Let's do that" Applebloom said and they all cheered, for the Cutie Mark Dinosaurs are born.


Next time: Winter draws ever closer, but Allison decides to go on a hunt, alone. However, her dinosaur friends follow her to see what she's up to, and they end up going on a "big" hunt.

But, you'll discover a few surprises are in store.


Author's Note: Hey, everybody. Dinopony2580 here. I'm finally back at it. I know I've said this a million times, but sorry for the delay. But, you all should know the reason why.

School's almost over, so yeah. :) Also, I'd like to thank everybody for standing up for me back there with that whole conundrum.

I can not express how grateful I am, for I really appreciate it, very much. :) Until next time, I salute to you all and to stay safe during this time of hardship. Dinopony2580 out.

P.S. No more harsh comments. I hate negative attitudes, which causes me to have a bad attitude as well.
