The Great Valley is starting to become like a second home to Lena. She felt more at home there than she does in her own world. Everyone in the herd has started treating the sixteen year old girl like she was one of the family; she could tell them anything and they would keep her secrets safe. There was one thing on her mind: With friends like this; who needs a diary?

She was relaxing on her fold out beach chair by the edge of the watering hole while talking with the grown ups.

"So; I hear your dad is dead," Grandma said.

"Yes; he bit off more than he could chew and choked on his food; death by dinner," Lena stated.

"What a sad way to go; and the grossest," Grandpa claimed, his tongue hanging out in disgust.

Lena nodded.

"It would have been better if he died of old age; which is about one hundred years," Lena claimed.

"Wow; one hundred years for us is mid-life," Grandma commented.

"Right; I forget that dinosaurs can live roughly two hundred years," Lena claimed.

Soon enough, the young ones came by to see Lena. The teenager saw three very young longnecks along with four adolenscents.

"Hey guys; I guess you are off to find your friends," Lena responded.

"Yeah; but, we came to see if you wanted to come too," Littlefoot stated.

Lena smiled wide and left with the kids.

Upon reaching Cera's nest, they all waited for Cera, her siblings, cousins and the twins. Soon enough, they were all together.

"Hey there boys and girls; let's go find Ducky, Petrie and Spike," Lena said.

The threehorns nodded in agreement. After a while, the whole gang and Lena were relaxing at the Tall Trees.

"What we gonna do today?" Petrie asked.

"I do not know; what do you think, Spike?" Ducky asked.

Spike grumbled under his breath.

"I guess Spike doesn't know what he wants to play either," Cera claimed.

"Makes sense to me," Ducky claimed.

Lena scratched her chin with her hand.

"Hmmm; let's play Hide and Seek," Lena suggested.

The kids looked up at Lena and smiled.

"Yep, yep, yep; that sounds fun," Ducky stated.

Lena clapped her hands together in excitement.

"Great; I'm IT; then, we all take turns being the hider and seeker," Lena said.

After a few moments, the gang was hiding and Lena was looking for them.

"All right, guys; I'm gonna get you," Lena said.

Soon enough, Lena managed to find Spike; the young spiketail wasn't the best hider; but, he didn't really care.

"I found you," Lena told him.

Spike mumured; he might always be the first one to be found; but, he certainly has fun trying to hide.

"C'mon; lets go find the others," Lena added.

"Uh-huh," Spike responded.

Soon enough, everyone was found; except for Cera. They searched high and low for the threehorn; no such luck. Soon enough, she jumped out from under a pile of leaves.

"BOO!" Cera exclaimed.

The others jumped in surprise. Petrie jumped into Ducky's arms while the little longnecks and the threehorn twins hid behind Littlefoot.

"Nyah nyah; I scared you," Cera teased.

"You did not scare me, Cera; oh, no, no, no," Ducky claimed.

Petrie climbed out of Ducky's arms.

"You scare me Cera; me thought me gonna wee-wee myself," Petrie claimed.

"Wee-wee? Even the twins don't call it wee-wee; and they're still very young kids," Cera sneered.

"Me say wee-wee if me want; you no tell me what to do," Petrie retorted.

Lena chuckled under her breath before responding.

"Petrie's right, Cera; if he wants to use slang words; let him," Lena told her.

Cera nodded.

Soon enough, it was time for the young ones to have dinner.
