Don't tease Chomper
The creepy crawlies were in the trunk of a tree, squirming away when a claw reached in, grabbed two of them, and tossed them into his mouth. Chomper swallowed with satisfaction and reflected on how great the day was going so far. It was sunny, warm and the bugs were plentiful. It was a great morning!
Chomper reached into the tree again when his sniffer caught a whiff of something, something familiar…. He turned his head and spotted a red and black bug, a little bit bigger than his claw. It was a Sweet and Sour bug! He remembered them from the island while he was with his parents. His parents gave him one for his Star-Day gift. When he ate it, the bug first flooded his mouth with the sweetest taste he had ever tasted and then it changed to a slight Sour flavor. Chomper sat still for a moment, reliving the memories. He then looked at the bug, his eyes narrowed, and he started moving stealth-like to the bug. He moved closer… and closer…. And
CRACK!
He stepped on a twig and the bug spun around.
It saw Chomper, his teeth, got wide-eyed, and took off through the bushes. Chomper gave chase.
He ran thru one shrub and behind a rock…
Then it disappeared down a hole.
"Drat" he thought, "Almost had it" Chomper then turned and went back to his trunk and had a good breakfast.
Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Spike, Petrie, and Ruby had already eaten and were getting ready to play Toss the Seed.
"Where is Chomper?" asked Cera.
"He is still eating I think" said Ruby
"O, I wish he would hurry up!" and Cera hit the seed, causing it to bounce toward a rock….
and hit someone as he came around the corner.
"Ow!" he said as the pinecone hit him and knocked him down. Everyone ran up to him. "Are you OK" asked Littlefoot?
"Yeah, just a little dizzy" he answered. He stood up and shook his head, clearing the dust from himself. "By the way, my name is Mike. I'm an swatsnide" (swats-nide, a name I made up.)
"You a what?" asked Petrie
"A swatsnide, but if it's easier, call me Mike" he said to which Ducky replied, "Yep, Yep, Yep, Mike is much easier to say"
Cera bent down and looked at Mike and said with a snort "You sure are a small guy"
Mike looked indignant "I'm bigger than my brothers and sister."
"So what brings you to Great Valley? Petrie asked trying to avert a fight.
"I have always been in the Valley, but mostly in the corner by the smoking mountain. I usually spend most of my time there, but I decided to go adventuring today." Mike replied
(Cue Adventuring song)
Well Mike, my name is Littlefoot, and this is Spike (who grunted hello) and Ducky, Cera, Petrie, and Ruby.
It's nice to meet you all. said Mike
"Would you like to play with us?" asked Ruby, which received a glare from Cera.
"Not right now, I have to go tell my family something important!" and he scampered away.
"He is sure in a hurry," said Cera, Littlefoot rolled his eyes, and just as Mike disappeared around the corner, Chomper came around the rock that Mike first walked around.
"Hey guys!" he called
"About time, let's play!" said Cera and hit the seed toward Spike who kicked it to Littlefoot and the game began.
That was a close one! What will happen if Mike and Chomper meet?
Stay tuned for more!
