"Won't you say you love me too!" Barney finished his song as the kids hugged him.
"Barney!" Someone shouted. "And kids."
Barney turned around and found two humongous purple dinosaurs staring at him. "Mama, Papa, you're here!"
Barney's parents' mouths dropped open in awe. "We told you I'm terrifired and allergic to kids! Look at my stomach! Its green!" Barney's mom, Samantha, started screaming. Meanwhile, Barney's dad, Jerry, licked his lips and looked hungrily at the kids. Barney noticed and smacked his dad in the face.
"For someone who works with kids, you sure set a bad example," Barney's dad muttered.
"I give a very good example to the children on how to love! You people never even gave me love. I'm giving these children something that I never got or experienced!" Barney yelled.
"Yo, Barney, sup!" B.J shouted. "Who are those oldies over there? Anyways, I brought Baby Bop!" He pointed at a girl dinosaur who was clutching a yellow blankie.
"Ah!" Samantha squeaked. "Who is that rude lad?"
"Anyway," Jerry began, eyeing the kids on the playground," We came to take you home." Just then a little four year old ran up to Barney. She was sucking on a lollypop.
"Barney, is that your mommy?" Janie began.
"Arrrrrgghh!" Barney's mother yelped in fright. She ran up to the huge oak tree near by and was soon at the very top. "Get that thing away!" She screamed.
"Sure thing, sweetie." Barney's dad licked his lips and made his way over to Janie.
"DAD!" Barney cried. "Janie, run!" But of course, the stubborn four year old decided to stand and stare.
"BIIIIIIG dinoshaur," she said, wide eyed.
"RAWR!" Barney's dad tried to scare her- however, Janie just started to have a giggle fit. Barney's dad kept on roaring but only ended with Janie having a bigger giggle fit. Exasperated, Jerry just gulped her down without chewing. Barney started to cry- Janie had been eaten!
All of a sudden, Janie started giggling again. "Your daddy has a big swimming pool in his stomach, Barney!"
This angered Barney's father. "Being eaten is not FUN! It is SAD, not FUN! Start crying, little girl! Cry! CRY NOW!" Barney's dad started stomping his feet.
"Dad, how could you!" Barney cried. "What do I tell her parents?"
"Tell Mommy I go swim, swim in dino!" Janie giggled from inside the stomach.
"Barney, sweetie," Barney's mom started. She had come down from the tree and was now standing next to Jerry. "Don't worry. I'm sure your father wouldn't mind eating them too!"
While all that happened, BJ and Baby Bop had been watching with wide eyes. Baby Bop had been hugging her blankie tightly.
"You know, we're classified as kids," BJ whispered to Baby Bop. "You don't think he'll eat us too?"
"Lets get out of here," Baby Bop whispered back. They slowly backed out.
"Relax," Barney shouted back at them. "He only eats human kids."
"Thank you," Baby Bop gasped.
"Aaachhooo," Samantha sneezed. "This place is kid infested." She sneezed again. "I better take my allergy medication." She started doing the hokey pokey.
"What the-?" Barney and Baby Bop said together. "I don't know much about allergies, but that's crazy."
"Well," Jerry began, "If a dinoraur is allergic to something, then their stomach turns green. Barney is allergic to platns so his stomach is usually green."
BJ watched as Samantha's green stomach slowly turned pink. "Woah," he said as she danced the ridiculous hokey pokey.
"Since kids like to do the hokey pokey, she does that to help her fear and allergies," Jerry finished.
"Well, someone should have told me about my allergies!" Barney sighed. "So, dad, what cures my allergies?" He questioned with squinty eyes.
"Well, you have to –" Jerry was interrupted.
"I'm swimming, I'm swimming, in a humongous swimming pool, 'cuz I got eat, got eaten, by a big daddy dinosaur named Jerry!" Janie sang while paddling in his stomach.
"You're making my stomach queasy!" Jerry exclaimed, and then threw up and spilled Janie out.
"Awww! My pool is gone, now how do I play?" Janie whined.
"Come one," Barney assured her, "I'm sure you'll be able to find something to do!" Barney's reassuring words put a smile back on the little girl's face.
"He really does have a gift with the children, doesn't he?" Samantha laughed to Jerry. "Well, eat all the children as a punishment to Barney! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha –" Samantha attempted to laugh evilly but ended up coughing. "I really have to work on my laugh."
Frantically, Barney started yelling. "Run away, children, run away as fast as you can!"
The children squealed and started to sing. "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch us- we're the gingerbread kids!" They sang, not caring that it didn't rhyme. All the children started to run around in circles giggling and squealing with all their might. Barney calmed down a little bit knowing the children were running around a little bit. All of a sudden, they started holding hands and singing, "Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posy, ashes, ashes, we all fall down!" They fell down and started giggling even more.
Jerry was enraged. "WHY ARE ALL THESE CHILDREN GIGGLING AND HAVING FUN? THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING! THEY SHOULD BE CRYING INSTEAD!"
"Is that what you did when you were kids?" Barney asked.
"Yes!" Samantha replied.
"Well, I taught these kids how to have fun, and myself to have fun with them!" Barney yelled back at his parents.
The children started crying.
"Oh, Barney can make then cry, but I can't," Jerry grumbled. "Talk about an unfair world!"
"Why are you crying, kiddos?" Barney asked gently.
"Barney is being mean and yelling at old people. Barney told us not to be mean and yell at old people. Why, Barney?" The children cried.
"Oh!" Samantha squeaked. "More people think we're old, honey. I told you we should have stopped at the spa or gotten plastic surgery, but you didn't listen to me, did you?"
"Sorry that you're old. Deal with it!" Jerry yelled at Samantha.
She gasped indignantly. "I am not OLD!"
Jerry rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
"Oh well! We'll be at the spa, Barney!" Samantha yelled.
"First, though," Jerry said menacingly, "We are going to take you home and you're never coming back here- ever!"
"What? No!" Barney cried. "This is my life!"
"Well, too bad," Jerry said.
"Come one, guys, to the spa!" Samantha yelled giddily.
"I'm not going to the spa!" Barney screamed. "No, no, no!"
"Oh, you're coming!" Samantha screamed. "You're almost thirty, honey, you're getting old."
Barney froze. "Excuse me?"
"Son, face the facts. You're getting old!" Jerry explained. "You must go to the spa!"
Together, Jerry and Sam lugged the struggling Barney into town but Barney was stronger than they expected. About four blocks from the the spa, Barney broke free and ran towards the park. "Don't worry, kids, I'm coming!" He screamed.
"Honey, he sure does love those kids," Jerry said.
"That's why he didn't want to come to the spa," Samantha realized.
"Oh well," Jerry sighed. "We're still taking him back to the farm."
"Definitely," Samantha agreed.
