fandomhigh | Adventures Through History, Thursday, period 2

Students entering class today would find the Danger Shop set up as a giant, prehistoric marshland, filled with towering trees, primordial fog, and dragonflies the size of predatory birds. Pinkie stood proudly on a small, lumpy island in the midst of it all, looking pleased as punch.

"Welcome back, everypony! To the Stone Age!"

Look, just humor her, okay?

"The Stone Age is the really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really --" *GASP!* "-- really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really early age of history for humans, back when they all rode around on giant dragon-y things named dinosaurs and made garbage disposals out of pigmy elephants! But riding around on dinosaurs is way more fun than cleaning kitchens, so that's what we're going to do, today! Come on out, Patty!"

The island Pinkie was standing on suddenly started shaking, and then grew -- and grew and grew and grew and grew, then seemed to sprout eyes and a nose and a really, really, really long neck, with Pinkie still on top.

"THIS IS PATTY!" she shouted down at the class. "SHE'S A BRONTOSAURUS, WHICH ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET IS THE VERY BEST DINOSAUR TO HAVE! I THINK 'CAUSE SHE'S SO BIG AND SHE SELLS GASOLINE!" She jumped back and slid down Patty's neck not unlike she was surfing down a giant wave, landing on Patty's damp back, where a saddle could be seen. "We have all sorts of dinosaurs in here," she said, "all set for you to ride on! See what kind you can find, and then take a trip around the Stone Age! Last one to the mountain's a rotten dimetrodon egg!" And Patty started lumbering off, her tail dragging on the ground behind her, pushing trees aside with her massive feet to reveal the shape of a craggy mountain in the distance.

Better get dinosaur hunting.

Like you've just met a nonexistent dinosaur.

React! Chatter! Wonder once again about Pinkie's mental state and qualifications as a teacher!

Dinosaurs are totally moddable and all come with handy saddles and reigns.

Mind you, how you expect to get the dinosaur to do what you WANT it to do instead of hang around eating leaves or other dinosaurs . . . that might be a little bit trickier.

Assuming they are not already riding a much taller dinosaur than you are!

Be sure to say hi to Patty, too. Not doing so would just be rude.

One day, out of the blue, as we were formatting tax documents, my coworker suddenly declared "I miss Bronto."

As do we all, my friend. As do we all.

Well, except those who are too busy getting excited about all the OTHER dinosaurs there are to get all squee-ful about.

Cara wasn't on a tall dinosaur. A big dinosaur wouldn't move very fast now would it?

Cassidy

Cassidy was busy watching all of the dinosaurs and thinking how they looked nothing like the dragons she had met ...

Dana Scully

... Yeah, Scully was never going to quite stop being stunned here.

Mercy Thompson

Mercy was... contemplating riding a dinosaur.

Shane Gooseman

Dave Nelson

Richie Ryan

Goose was watching and actually thinking that riding a dinosaur looked like fun.

Richie had been a little kid once and gone through the almost required dinosaur phase. No way was he going to not jump at this chance.

Although the dinosaur was not being terribly cooperative, even when Richie did his best cowboy "giddyup!" at it.
