Trapped
A/N: hey guys its me DG. I decided to make a new LBT fanfic, the Sacred Children of the Dragon is still out but I wanted to do something different. So heres a little something I came up with. Thunderblade I hope your reading.
"Hey guys, wheres Littlefoot" called Cera as the others walked towards her "We've been at this game for nearly to long". Cera looked at two of her friends, a swimmer and a spike tail.
"I really wished Littlefoot would stop playing hide-and-go-seek, oh yes yes yes" Ducky answered. Her brother, Spike, nodded his head in agreement. Just than the threehorn turned to see a blue sharptooth and a pink oviraptor walk into view.
"Well I have no idea where Littlefoot is" Chomper said as he came from behind a tree with Ruby "I do know he's no where near if I can't smell him".
"Are you sure, sometimes your sniffer acts up" said Cera as she turned towards him.
"I'm not sick, but the wind has shifted and blown his scent away" said Chompers as he took a few more whiffs of the air around them "if so I'm not much help".
"Geez" said Cera getting more annoyed by the minute "PETRIE!". Cera shout was answered by the screams of the flyer in the sky as he was startled and began to plumet towards the earth. Luckly Spike, being his usualy self, happened to be trying to make a snack out of the bushes next to him.
"Oof" Petrie groaned when he crash landed on the green dinosaur "me no see Littlefoot around here".
"Dang" Cera stamped her foot into the ground.
"We could ask little longnecks if they had seen him" suggested Petrie mentioning the tinysauruses that lived in the great valley.
"Oh really, and where would they be right now" replied Cera.
"Well there was a hole not far from here" said Petrie "It's by the Sweet Treat Tree's roots". This caught Cera's attention. The first time the dinosaurs met the little longnecks was because of the incident over the Sweet Treat Tree. Though the problem was solved and over, Cera's father, who had made it his personal job to guard the tree, had made sure that the little longnecks had no hole or crevice near the tree. And Cera knew he wouldn't over look a crack in the ground.
"Last time I remember, there was no hole near that tree for the little longnecks" Cera thought the flyer was playing tricks on her.
"I just saw one over there" Petrie still trying to convence the yellow threehorn. Cera looked like she wanted stomp on the flyer.
"Actually Cera I had Littlefoot's scent for a few seconds before the wind blew it away, and it was in the direction of the tree" Chomper said trying to reason with her "Would it hurt to check someplace we already haven't". The blue sharptooth was mentioning the area around them. You could tell that Cera put the saying "Leave no stone unturned" to the max.
Growling in frustration, the young threehorn made her way to the Sweet Treat Tree. If she wasn't walking she would be charging through the under growth.
Five minutes later the group emerged from behind a tree and stood before a new one with pink flowers. As soon as they stopped Chomper charged towards the tree, Cera following of coarse. They went around behind the tree, and there was a large rock which seemed to be wedged into the ground.
"Chomper?".
"As soon as we came here I caught sent of Littlefoot" said Chomper before turning to the rock.
"Oh please, your not trying to say Littlefoot turned into a rock" Cera replied getting agitatied "I don't have time for games Chomper".
"I'm saying that, but so far this rock has the freshes of Littlefoot's scent around here. Unless the wind blew it away, this is eithier a dead end, clue, or what we were looking for".
"Well I wasn't looking for rock" said Cera before she stomped her foot on the ground "Oww". The treehorn looked down at her foot and realized she had stepped on a small stone. She kicked it away, and looked down to see she had drove it in pretty deep. Than she got an idea.
"Hey Petrie, you said you saw a hole?" asked Cera before she turned to the flyer.
"Yes, me saw it right where stone is" the brown flyer answered. Itmmidiately, Cera began to dig with both of her front paws and her horn. Chomper was about to question her when he got the idea, the blue sharptooth began to help her with his hind legs and sometimes even his mouth. The two were joined by there friends who were beginning to understand what might have become of Littlefoot as they each chose a spot around the area to start digging.
"Do you really think he fell down hole?" said Petrie asked as he dug up a little dirt than blew it away with a few flaps of his wings.
"He better have, making me..." Cera caught herself before she finished her sentence.
"Making you what Cera?" Chomper asked.
"Nothing" Cera replied trying to end the conversation.
"It's ok you can tell me, I mean I don't Littlefoot can hear us-oops" Chomper caught his toung to late and could only blush at what he meant. However, that was nothing compared to the shades of red glowing on Cera's face.
"I. Said. It. WAS NOTHING!" the threehorn barely contained herself from yelling. All of the other dinosaurs turned towards the yellow one, confused because they didn't here the conversation. The threehorn was about to pretend like nothing happened and go back to digging when a voice called from on top of the hill next to the Sweet Treat Tree.
"Whats all of the commotion down there?". Looking up everyone saw Cera's father and both of Littlefoot's grandparents.
"What are you doing to the tree?" Cera father nearly before he charged half way down the hill than jumped directly off, could've won a medal. The triceratops proceeded to the tree to check for signs of damage, he was shocked to see the holes around the roots.
"What do you kids think your doing!" Topsy shouted as he tried put dirt back into the holes, the children stepped to the side "you're going to up root the tree!".
"But daddy..." Cera tried before she was interrupted.
"What were you thinking, this tree is special Cera" Topsy continued as he patted the dirt on the ground lightly.
"But..."
"I thought I raised you better than this, I expected more from you" Topsy went on "I don't understand Cera, haven't I been a good father. Don't I spend plenty of time with you".
"DAD!" Cera roared, finally getting the attention of the older threehorn "thank you, now listen". The girl explained about the game of hide-and-go-seek the children were playing earlier, than about losing Littlefoot in the process.
"Littlefoot is missing?" both of the longnecks said with their voices filled with worry.
"Yes, but Petrie said he saw a hole down here next to the Sweet Treat Tree" Cera answered them.
"Those little longnecks, if I find out they were trying to sneak some Tree Sweets from the tree I'm gonna..." Topsy was cut off by a glare from Cera.
"Actually Petrie had an idea like yours, only we were where going to ask the little longnecks if they had seen Littlefoot" Cera explained the rest of what happened and the idea that Littlefoot might have fell down the hole.
"Gracious, you really think that happened to Littlefoot" Grandma longneck said as she came down the hill with her husband.
"So you were going to dig him up, that is to say if he is here" Topsy replied.
"Of coarse he's here, where else could he be" Cera kept herself from shouting.
"Oh, please let him be some where close by" Grandpa said looking as the ground as he considered the thought of what might have happened to his grandson.
"And if he is not than you would have damaged the tree, I don't see any holes around here except the ones you dug up" Topsy said.
"What about Chomper and his sniffer" Cera pointed out one of the key facts.
"Like Chomper said the wind blew Littlefoot's scent around, it's possible that it moved the scent here" Topsy said as he looked at Chomper questioning.
"Well, not really..." the little sharptooth started before the older threehorn glared at him "...though it's possible, just rare".
"There, you see Cera" Topsy said as he turned away from Chomper and the tree "now lets go home, it's getting dark".
"But daddy wait" Cera manage to stop her father "what about the rock".
"What about it" Topsy said turning back to her.
"You made it your job to protect this tree, you know every spot around it" Cera tried to flatter her father, it was working.
"Well, that is true" Topsy said taking the bait.
"Well that rock wasn't there before was it?".
"No".
"Than can you just move it out the way, you know, to get out of the view of the tree" Cera continued to hang on a thin line.
"Well, when you put it that way" Topsy thought it over "I guess it is in the way a little". The triceratops moved towards the large rock and dug his nose horn in the ground under it, than tossed it into the air and away from the tree. Cera, the gang, and Littlefoot's grandparents quickly moved to the were the rock was before, expecting to see signs of the hole Petrie saw earlier. However, they were only reward with the imprint in the earth that the rock made.
"But hole..." Petrie said first.
"...the scent..." Chomper said second.
"...Littlefoot" Cera finished.
"It was a nice try Cera" Grampa Longneck said "But it didn't work".
"But Littlefoot..." the girl's knees were shaking.
"It's alright Cera, just be glad you were wrong" Topsy said trying to comfort Cera "Suppose Littlefoot was under the rock and in some under ground cave, he could be stuck there for a long time". Cera thought these words, and she did feel a little better at the thought of Littlefoot not being trapped.
"But where is he" she asked.
"I don't know, but I promise I'll find him" Topsy said to her "And when don't I ever keep my promises, which by the way, extends to you to longnecks". Littlefoot's grandmother thanked Topsy
Cera nodded at her father, thanking him silently, and the two walked back to there nest. The rest of the gang also went home as it was getting dark, Ducky and Spike heading to the lake, Petrie to the cliffs, and Chomper and Ruby to their cave. Grandma and Grandpa Longneck decided to search for Littlefoot in the morning, though they continued to search for their grandson on the way back to their nest. It had been a long day for everyone.
Three hours later Cera woke up from her sleep, or atleast she stopped pretending to be asleep. Looking at both her father and her step mother, the young threehorn walked away from the nest. She carefully stepped over her little sister and walked down a path into the trees. Seven minutes later, she arrived at her appointed destination.
"I just can't shake off this feeling I have" Cera said as she laid next the hole behind the Sweet Treet Tree. The yellow threehorn laid her head down and was finally able to gain some form of sleep.
Mean while, thirty meters below the surface.
"HELP!" cried Littlefoot from under the tons of rock and dirt "Somebody...Anybody...GET ME OUT OF HERE!". Littlefoot tried to dig a little of the dirt wall around him and was zapped with a tiny bolt of electricty. Pulling back away from the wall in confusion of what just happened, Littlefoot turned around in a circle to look at the round room he was trapped in. After mustering some courage, the boy looked back at the part he tried digging through. Kicking the dirt under his feet like a threehorn preparing to charge, Littlefoot rammed his entire body against the wall.
This time his efforts were rewarded with an even more power shock which moved throughout his whole body and left him feeling dizzy. Staggering back Littlefoot saw that the whole room had lighted up with blue electricle lights running across the wall and ceiling.
"Help...somebody" the boy was still dazed "Ruby...Spike...Ducky...Petrie...Chomper..."
The longneck shook his head and roared "...CERA!".
Back on the surface.
Cera jumped out of her sleep and looked around her.
"Littlefoot, Littlefoot are you there" the girl could have sworn she had heard his voice loud and clear in her sleep "Littlefoot where are you?". Cera began to calm down a little remembering that she was sleeping just a moment ago. Believing everything was a dream she looked at the hole in the ground where the large rock had been earlier. The girl walked into it and curled up to sleep.
"I can't shake this feeling..." she whispered to herself as she was falling back asleep "...This...feeling...that...I'm...right". And just like that, the girl found a cure for her insomnia.
