The teenaged Threehorns hoped to get the Fire Rock. It would grant knowledge and experience beyond one's years. However, the Sharptooth Tickly Fuzzies were gaining on them. There was a huge pack of them and, though smaller than a Threehorn, their numbers made them deadly. One by one the Threehorns fell. The last one made it out of there alive, abandoning the Fire Rock.
He told the grownups what had happened. They were devastated about the loss of the children. As for the location of the Fire Rock, the surviving Threehorn refused to tell. He blocked it himself, hoping that never again would dinosaurs seek this dangerous object and fall victim to its deadly guardians. However, he was wrong. Many years later, others would find the entrance to the place and one Longneck would seek the fabled power of the Fire Rock.
The Time of Great Growing had at last begun for Littlefoot and his friends. They had all had a growth spurt. Ducky was now getting to be taller than Petrie. Cera had her second horn coming in. Littlefoot had started to get a stripe on his head and his voice had deepened slightly as had Petrie's. Spike had gotten a few more spikes on his tail and back.
Littlefoot and Cera ran out of a big forest. They stopped in a watering hole. Both looked gleeful, for they had been racing to see who was the better racer.
"I won that race!" said Cera.
"No, I did!" said Littlefoot.
It was so close that Ducky, Petrie, and Spike, who had been there at the finish to determine the winner, could tell who had actually won. They were now more annoyed that the two kept arguing.
"You guys should stop arguing. It was just a stupid race. It was. It was." said Ducky.
"Just as soon as Littlefoot admits that I won!" replied Cera.
"No, I'm not, cuz I won!" Littlefoot argued.
"No you didn't!" snapped Cera.
"Did too!" snapped Littlefoot.
"DID NOT!" shouted Cera.
"DID TOO!" shouted Littlefoot. "You just can't admit that Longnecks are better than Threehorns!" laughed Littlefoot. This hit a nerve of Cera's.
Cera lunged at him. She banged him with her horns. This hurt him. "OW!" he cried. "Longnecks should know that they can never win against a Threehorn!" said Cera proudly.
"All right Cera, you asked for it!" he said. He slammed her with his tail. This knocked her away. He kicked her and she fell to the ground. He'd beaten Cera for the first time in a fight! He was so excited.
"Ha, beat ya this time" Littlefoot cheered. "I let you win!" said Cera stubbornly. "No you didn't! You just can't admit that you lost!" said Littlefoot smugly. "I didn't lose! I let you win!" said Cera angrily. "Did not!" said Littlefoot. "Did too!" said Cera. "Did not!" said Littlefoot. "Did too!" said Cera. They kept arguing.
"Nice one Littlefoot!" It was Liam the Anatosaurus. He seemed to be popular among the adolescents but Littlefoot's friends didn't like him. However, Littlefoot had admired him, despite their mistrust of him. "Thanks Liam!" said Littlefoot. "Ah, kissing up to Liam are you?" said Cera. "You're just upset because I beat you!" said Littlefoot.
"Yeah Cera, so leave him alone. Don't like having your brag bone hurt?" laughed Liam.
"Sharptooth breath!" said Cera, sticking her tongue out at Liam.
"Pointy face!" said Liam, sticking out his tongue back.
"Come on Littlefoot!" said Liam. Littlefoot followed him. The others worried that Liam would be a bad influence on Littlefoot. And they were right.
