Disclaimer: I don't own The Land Before Time or the Simpsons characters.
A/N: My OC's will just be mentioned in this story. This is my first Land Before Time/Simpsons crossover; the dinosaurs are anthropomorphic and wear clothes in this story. Topsy's outfit; dark grey pants and navy blue muscle shirt; Grandpa Longneck's outfit; burgundy pants and black/blue vertical striped buttoned shirt with collar. I decided that the clothes are human like; except, the dinosaurs don't wear shoes. I will do my best to keep the characters from both universes relatively in character.
One day in the Great Valley, Topsy and Grandpa Longneck came across a time portal near the Secret Caverns. The one thing that made them question it is because they couldn't see where it would take them if they stepped in.
"I wonder where this thing will take us; maybe we should give it a shot," Topsy claimed.
"I don't know about this," Grandpa admitted.
"Come on, Kenneth; don't be such a scaredy-egg," Topsy teased.
The elderly male rolled his eyes at the scaredy-egg remark from the younger male.
"Oh all right, smart ass; now you got me curious; let's go," Grandpa stated.
"First off; I got some business to tend to; be back in a couple minutes," Topsy said, going off-screen.
"All right; gotcha," Grandpa responded.
After a couple of minutes, Topsy came back. Soon enough, they both stepped into the portal. The next thing they knew, they were in a strange world. The inhabitants were yellow and didn't have any scales.
"Look at this place; so unlike the Great Valley," Topsy claimed.
Grandpa nodded and looked up at the sky.
"Nice out today; not a chance of sky water," Grandpa replied.
"Good; I hate when water falls from the sky," Topsy admitted.
After a while of walking around, they met up with a couple of young kids who were walking over to their house. The boy is known as Bart; he is ten years old and his sister Lisa is eight years old.
"I beg your pardon, children; but, could you please tell us where we are?" Grandpa asked.
"You're in Springfield; don't worry, we'll help you get to know this place like it's your second home," Lisa explained.
The dinosaurs smiled. Soon enough, they all exchanged introductions.
"Nice to meet you," Bart stated.
"You two as well; hey, maybe we'll like this Springfield place," Topsy stated.
Bart and Lisa smiled.
"If you want; we could introduce you to our parents and baby sister," Lisa offered.
"That sounds good," Topsy claimed.
After entering the house, the dinosaurs were formally introduced to Marge, Homer and Maggie. At first, Marge was a bit nervous about meeting dinosaurs; but, she warmed up to the idea after a few minutes.
"It's nice to meet grown ups who are polite," Marge commented.
"Sure is," Homer added.
Even though the family just met the dinosaurs, they allowed them to stay with them. It was now close to dinner; Marge set two more places at the table. Once they all sat down, they began to eat.
"This food tastes different than the food we're used to; but, it's pretty good," Topsy claimed.
"I agree; you sure know how to cook and prepare meals for people who don't eat meat," Grandpa added.
"Well; I have to; since Lisa's a vegetarian," Marge responded.
"You sound disappointed by that fact," Topsy told her.
Marge sighed.
"I am disappointed; that's not all; Lisa doesn't have the same beliefs as me; and I don't like that," Marge explained.
Lisa face-palmed herself.
"Oh, not this again; we've been over this; this is why we must never discuss religion over dinner," Lisa groaned.
Marge murmured in annoyance.
Suddenly, it all got quiet.
"May I please be excused?" Topsy asked.
"Why? You gotta go potty?" Marge asked.
Topsy sighed in exasperation and rubbed his eyes with his thumb and forefinger.
"There's THAT word again; and no; I'm done eating; thanks for the meal," Topsy stated, looking over at Marge.
Marge eventually gave in and let him leave the table.
After a while, the elderly longneck found Topsy sitting outside by the back door.
"I thought I would find you here; wanna talk about it?" Grandpa wondered.
Topsy sighed while the elderly male sat beside him on the lawn chair. He was surprised when Topsy didn't push him away when he was trying to comfort him.
"I'm still embarrassed about what happened at dinner," Topsy admitted.
"I understand; you were annoyed by Marge's use of babyish slang terms for body parts and bodily functions," Grandpa said.
Topsy nodded.
After a couple minutes, the two males shared an embrace; they pulled apart after a couple moments.
"Thanks, I needed that," Topsy claimed.
"No problem; that's what friends are for; I think you and Marge just got off on the wrong foot; I'm certain if you tell her that her use of babyish slang bothers you, she'll understand; after all, she's also a grown up," Grandpa explained.
Topsy nodded and managed to smile.
After a few minutes, Topsy and Marge decided to put the ugly incident behind them and start over. They were all happy about that.
