Shiny: [puts a pack of extra large pads and a box of chocolate on the check out counter]

Clerk: ... I am so sorry.

Fives: The risk I took was calculated Hardcase: Yeah, but like look what happened Fives: But man am I bad at math Echo groaning

Trevor, walking by Tabitha: Your eyes look lovely today.

Tabitha, blushing: Awww! Trevor!

Trevor: And so does your a-

Tabitha: -_- I'm going to stop you there.

Trevor: But don't you want to hear about how big my tail-

Tabitha: TREVOR!

[the sound of something falling to the ground from the doorway]

Gilbert, just standing in the doorway: [picking up notebook and pen]

Tabitha, blushing: G-Gilbert!

Gilbert: Sorry, didn't mean to disturb you! [Holding pen and paper] Please continue.

Trevor, grinning: Are you... watching me flirt so you can flirt with Shiny?

Gilbert, lying through his teeth as he blushes profusely: No!

Tabitha: Gilbert, my grandbaby I love very much, my sweet boy, please, please, please for the love of all things good and evolutionary, don't put that sweet girl through what he put me through!

Trevor: And I put you through a lot.

Tabitha: TREVOR!!!!

Gilbert, desperate: I don't know who else to turn to!

Tabitha: Why don't you ask someone who's very good at flirting with his wife, who I know very well!

Gilbert: Who?

Tabitha: Mr. Pteranodon!

Tiny: C'mon, c'mon, pick up! (On phone) Hi, Buddy! (^ー^) So um, nothing serious, just a quick question...

Buddy in the guest lodge room as Tiny calls him, already suspicious: ...What?

Tiny: How do you spray enough water to cover a building as big as, I dunno... a station, without a firehose?

Buddy:

Buddy: ... DID YOU SET THE STATION ON FIRE?!

Tiny: NO, no... I mean, just hypothetically speaking, how would you put it out?

Buddy: |:(

Tiny: It wasn't my fault, it was Don!!! I wasn't even inside!!!

Buddy: Why are you calling ME for this?!?! Where's the fire department?!

Tiny: I called them!!! They're already dealing with a trackside fire right now!

Shiny, from inside: Don, OH MY GOSH! THE STATION'S ON FIRE!!! 😱

Don, from inside: I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK! 😰

Shiny: (SCREAMING)

Tiny:

Buddy: Tiny, why can't I ever leave you three alone and not have to clean up your mess afterwards? ... Why must you guys torment me like this...?

Tiny:

Buddy: I witnessed the dumb stuff.

Gilbert: I recorded the dumb stuff.

Tiny: I joined you in the dumb stuff.

Annie: I also joined you in the dumb stuff.

Mrs. Pteranodon: Honey, when was your last successful hunt?

Buddy: Um, yesterday.

Mrs. Pteranodon: What did you catch?

Buddy: [memories of a lizard he snatched off a tree in a drive by]

Buddy: Enough. [Turns and makes a run for it]

Mrs. Pteranodon: But if you're not having enough, which I suspect is the case, you always have the Tyrannosaurus family eager to have you over for di-

Buddy, in the trees, voice fading: I'm good!

Mrs. Pteranodon: And the Dinosaur Train has a special carr-

Buddy, in the distance even more: I'll pass!

Mrs. Pteranodon: Chef C's-

Buddy, voice barely audible: No thanks!

Mrs. Pteranodon:

Mrs. Pteranodon: [groans and rubs her head]

Shiny, flying by, looking exhausted and angry: Hi mom bye mom!

Mrs. Pteranodon: Honey, are you okay-

Shiny, already halfway to the train station: I'm good!

LET THE SHINY ANGST BEGIN!!!

I never wrote a human AU fanfiction but I'm extremely tempted now.

I'm imagining early teenaged Shiny just suffering in Adventure Camp, like on the floor in the fetal position bawling. None of the camp workers take her seriously, telling her all girls have pain on their periods and she needs to suck it up. But Tiny and Annie believe Shiny, and they're more than ready to fight for her. They bring this to the Conductor, who immediately believes them and screams at the staff for downplaying it.
