A/N: extended ending of the Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration
After getting back to the Great Valley, Littlefoot couldn't help but think if he made the right choice to stay with his grandparents. The young longneck was very confused; he had been fighting a battle within himself ever since he told Bron that he wasn't coming with him. Of course, on the outside, the adult longneck seemed to be understanding. However, it seemed that he was trying to hide his disappointment.
"Grandpa?" Littlefoot asked.
The elderly male was sleeping soundly. Littlefoot wandered over and gently nudged his cheek with his snout. Soon enough, the elderly male opened his eyes and yawned; after noticing Littlefoot's expression, he couldn't help but worry about him.
"Littlefoot, it's the middle of the night; did you have a bad dream or something?" Grandpa wondered.
The young longneck shook his head.
"Well, then, what is it? I'm not a mind reader you know," Grandpa told him.
"I can't sleep; there's something I need to talk to you about," Littlefoot responded.
Grandpa raised his head off the ground while still making eye contact with Littlefoot.
"You know, I have noticed that you were bugged about something when we first got back from our trip; but, I wanted to give you the choice to come to me if you had a problem," Grandpa commented.
Littlefoot nodded.
"I can't help but think if I made the right choice to stay with you and Grandma; well, Dad is nice and all, and I was really starting to like him; and I was thinking I hurt his feelings when I decided not to go with him; he seemed really disappointed; and I didn't want to disappoint you and Grandma if I had chosen to go with Dad; it was the toughest decision I ever had to make in my life; sometimes, being a grown up isn't that great; so many things to consider like the feelings of others, you know," Littlefoot explained.
Grandpa nodded.
"Oh, Littlefoot, you could never make me or Grandma disappointed in you; and your father did say he could drop by the valley for a visit; but, I understand that you're worried about disappointing the ones you love; that shows how caring you are; just like your mother; she'd be proud of you if she was still alive; and your father loves you, same with me and Grandma," Grandpa said.
Littlefoot smiled as Grandpa rubbed his head gently.
"Time to go back to sleep; if you want to sleep here tonight, you can," Grandpa added.
Littlefoot smiled again and got comfortable and rested his head against Grandpa's left forepaw. Grandpa looked down at his sleeping grandson and nuzzled him once again before lowering his neck and closing his eyes.
