A/N: This is the start of part two of my Land Before Time How It Could Have Been series. Part two of five.
Things have been rather nice for the Great Valley residents; Littlefoot and Cera have started their new life together as mates and couldn't be happier. In fact, once they were into their third year of marriage; they are expecting their first clutch of eggs. Even though they were only twenty one, they feel ready to start their family. They are all crowding at Littlefoot and Cera's nesting area; everyone was excited to hear about the new additions.
"This is wonderful news; I'm gonna be a grandpa again," Topsy said.
"Yes you are, Dad," Cera responded.
Soon enough, the young kids spoke up.
"We won't be the youngest anymore; that's amazing," Dinah said.
"Yeah; our cousins will be taking our places as the youngest," Dana added.
The adolescent triplet longnecks looked down at the young threehorn twins.
"There's nothing wrong with being the youngest; yes, you may have to follow more rules and go to bed early; but, I'm not sure how fun it would be for grown ups; so much responsibility," Amber explained.
Dinah was disappointed.
"Ohh; I hate being little," Dinah grumbled and laid down with her head resting on her forelegs.
Littlefoot chuckled and rubbed Dinah's back with his head.
"Don't worry, Dinah; childhood doesn't last forever; you'll be a grown up before you know it; besides, being a kid is great since you can play all day if you want," Littlefoot explained.
"What's so great about playing games if no other kid my age will let me play with them? Well, except for Dana," Dinah explained.
"Why won't the other kids let you play with them? Is it because you haven't gotten over your nest wetting problem?" Cera asked.
Dinah nodded.
"That's not right; nest wetting only happens during the night; besides; lots of kids wet the nest; but, there are some who claim they don't but, they secretly do; but, that's still not a reason for them to leave you out; that's bullying," Cera explained.
Dinah sighed.
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up; but, it's not working," Dinah admitted.
After that, Dinah walked off to sulk. The other herd members saw the young threehorn walk away. It was sad for them to see her so upset.
"Should one of us follow her?" Littlefoot wondered.
"I think we should leave her alone for a while; maybe the time alone will help to clear her head," Cera answered.
Littlefoot nodded.
"I still can't help but worry; would it be different if I sent Petrie to fly around to check on her?" Littlefoot asked.
"Not really; maybe Dinah just wants some time alone," Cera responded.
The others nodded. They all hoped things would start to turn around for the young threehorn.
