I thought I might try something new…since I've had this idea for quite a while.

Chapter 1

Littlefoot sighed; it was a long time ago that he and his four friends journeyed to the Great Valley. He remembered how different they where then, so young, so different, but still they had managed or at least managed to get along with each other and help each other during their long journey towards their new home. He remembered how they defeated sharptooth, how they all became good friends in the end. He sighed as he looked out from his cliff. The same cliff where those two egg eaters, Ozzy and Strut had cornered his friends on all those years before, how he had stood up to them but was saved by Chomper. Littlefoot began to wonder about the friends he met on his adventures. Chomper, he had seen a few years ago when the Great Valley was destroyed by swarming leaf gobblers. Chomper had helped them then, and Littlefoot was ever grateful to the young sharptooth. Who he knew would never hurt him or any of his friends. He remembered Ali, a girl long neck. Would he ever see her again? Littlefoot certainly hoped so.

"Hey Littlefoot." Cera said cheerfully.

Why is she being so cheerful? Then he remembered, Cera was now the leader of her herd after her father had stepped down.

"Hey, so what's it like being leader?" He asked her slyly.

Cera blushed, "can I tell you truthfully?" Littlefoot nodded, "I love it!" She exclaimed with happiness.

"So what do you want to do?" Asked Littlefoot.

"Where not children anymore you know!" Cera snapped at him. The young long neck nodded his head, and whispered a barely audible "I know!"

Cera smiled smugly, "I'm going to check on my herd, bye!" And she walked off.

Littlefoot frowned, of all the threehorns why was Cera the leader? Then he remembered that she was born into it.

"Hey Littlefoot." It was Ducky. She had grown tall, like her mother. Not the small duckbeak she was as a child but a tall adult. She had also changed her colour from a fluorescent yellowy green to a dark green, much like her mother. "Hey!" He replied. Unlike Cera, Ducky still held her kind personality, which Littlefoot was grateful for.

"Where is Spike and Petrie?" Asked Littlefoot.

Ducky opened her mouth to reply but was cut of from a loud burp, "Spike!" She scolded playfully. Littlefoot had to refrain from laughing, she still held on her child qualities even though they where all grown up!

Spike smiled and walked over towards his sister and Littlefoot; he still couldn't speak but showed his emotions and thoughts through his actions. Petrie suddenly swooped down from the sky, "Good Morning Littlefoot!" He greeted the long neck.

Littlefoot remembered when Petrie was learning to fly and how he failed. But when Ducky was in danger he swooped down to save her. That seemed a lifetime ago, a lot had changed within the five friends. Size was the major thing, Littlefoot remembered something from what he told his Grandfather, oh, I hate being little! His Grandfather merely chuckled and told him, don't worry you'll be grown up soon enough! How right he was, Littlefoot was now the tallest and biggest male of the long neck herd with the exception of his Grandfather. But he was the tallest and biggest male of his own age, his voice had changed too, it became deeper and much more domineering, commanding. But his personality had not changed, something of which he was grateful for.

Petrie looked at his friend curiously, "are you alright?" He asked the long neck.

Littlefoot snapped out of his memories and concentrated on the present, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Ducky glanced over at Spike then back at Petrie, "I have something to tell you Littlefoot." She announced.

"What is it?"

Ducky sighed, "I've found a mate!"

Littlefoot was frozen in shock but quickly recovered, "Congratulations!"

"Well, the thing is I won't be spending a lot of time with you any more."

She sighed and walked off towards her herd, "Did you guys know?" Littlefoot asked.

Petrie and Spike nodded.

"Littlefoot!" Shouted Littlefoot's Grandfather.

"I've got to go, see you later." Said littlefoot as he walked away towards the voice.

"Bye!" Yelled Petrie before turning to Spike.

I wonder what Grandpa wants? Littlefoot thought as he walked towards the Council rocks, wait a minute why am I being called to the council? Oh well, I'll find out as soon as I get there………

Next chapter will be up as soon as possible…
