Chapter 2: Unusual Introductions and Longneck Fun
While Littlefoot and Ali's game of 'tag' together was just beginning, the others had just finished their game of hide-and-go-seek when they had finally found Cera. They all starred off into the the distance and saw two longnecks at play, but one of them had a more feminine laugh. "There are two Littlefoots" said Ducky. "That's not possible, but let's check it out" said Cera enthusiastically. They bounded straight up to who they suppossedly thought to be a ''clone'' of Littlefoot.
As Ali stopped in a cross between a sudden and clumsy manner she was quite suprised they weren't other longneck's. She was not comfortable in these kind of akward situations. At this she batteded her eyes which had those long female brows that brought them up. Cera was the first of the rest of the gang to notice this, so she was also the first to speak up, however it was in her usual see-I-told-you-so way "I knew there wasn't another Littlefoot, she's a girl". It was at this moment that Ducky started to approach her. Ali began her retreat from the curious swimmer behind Littlefoot. Littlefoot began the introductions by saying to the others, "Hey everybody this is my new friend Ali". The whole gang was very polite and suprisingly gentle in their introducing themselves, except Cera who was overly proud of who and what she was made a much farther advance and said "And I'm Cera, a three-horn of course". The very timid Ali said in a almost whisper to Littlefoot "I...I'm afraid". "How could we possibly be frighting?" they all said in unison. They all tried to have sarcastic like fun making their "scary" faces, except Cera who took the challange very litterally went "grr". At this point Ali dove under Littlefoot who strolled up to Cera and cried "You're not helping!" Cera was a somewhat taken aback she had never seen Littlefoot like this. "Soorrryyy." she said in a somewhat apoligetic way. Meanwhile, Ali saw this and started seeing him as her "protecter" from his (in her opinion) very unusual friends. However, she whispered to Littlefoot that she'd only ever been around other longnecks and then announced to the rest of the gang "I'm sorry, I can't play and just ran off.
This left Littlefoot greatly puzzled so he went off to play with his friends, he was almost there when he heard a rustle in the brush "psst psst Littlefoot over here." It was Ali. "Did you change your mind do you wanna play with us!" asked Littlefoot. At that point, she made a facial expression of something between a frown and being shy. This produced a very brief akward silence, which Littlefoot broke by sighing in downwards manner. Immediately, Ali started making silly faces (including a kissy face: hint), which made Littlefoot laugh uncontrollably, the others looked back, saw this, then Cera (basically) said "Fine we'll go on and play without him."
Meanwhile, Ali and Littlefoot were spending alot more time together walking on the stepping stones pond splashing and laughing at each other's clumsiness as they both fell into the almost at the same time (Littlefoot a few seconds earlier). Then Ali batted her beautiful eyes twice as she said with a half "you're so cute" and half "you're so awesome" look "Littlefoot your fun I hope we're friends" "Of course we are." he said looking in her lovely grayish-green eyes. They decided home and walked together side by side as two good friends do sometimes only to find Littlefoot's Grandpa on his side on the ground with the very depressing news that he was very ill. They didn't know it, but they were in for quite an adventure (of which I will describe as briefly as possible) that would greatly impact the strength of their relationship.
I know, I know I'm doing my best to get it to be just about Littlefoot and Ali and I vow to make it surround only them in fact i'll guarantee it (at latest) by the beginning of chapter 5.
