CHAPTER ONE: TOMMY MEETS CHOMPER

"What are those supposed to be?" Littlefoot asked his grandparents a short time later.

"We have no idea." replied Grandpa Longneck.

They looked at Phil and Lil,who were eating worms. "They have the same eating habits as Guido." commented Grandma Longneck.

"Look, it's dinosaurs!" Tommy said excitedly.

"Yes, we are." replied Littlefoot, who could somehow understand them, perhaps due to their baby talk being understandable to him.

"Cool, a talking dinosaur!" replied Angelica in awe.

"But I thought you said all the dinosaurs got turned into tonsils." Tommy said to Angelica.

"What's a tonsil?" asked Littlefoot, who didn't know that they meant fossils nor would he have known even what that was.

"We musta gone back in time!" Chucky cried in shock.

"Cool!" said Lil in awe.

Phil pointed at Spike. "Look, it's a Stegosnoreous!" he cried.

Spoke looked at him in confusion. He didn't know what that meant, especially as the kids has mispronounced it.

Tommy looked around at all the various dinosaurs. He noticed one lacking, his favorite: Reptaur.

"Where is Reptaur?" he asked. They looked at him in confusion.

"What's a Reptaur?" Cera asked.

"What, you don't know who Reptaur is? Were you born under a rock?" Angelica asked incredulously.

"No, actually I hatched from an egg." Cera remarked.

"Reptaur is big and scary." said Kimi, trying to describe Reptaur.

"That could apply to a lot of dinosaurs." said Topps, shaking his head in annoyance.

Just then, Chomper came by. "Guys, I tried to get the Stinging Buzzers, but the nest fell on me and I had to run from them for a bit before I finally got them. We can play toss the seed now."

Tommy stared at Chomper. Chomper was the same species as Reptaur. He stared in awe. His mouth was open agape. Chomper stared at the seven humans. "What are they supposed to be?" he asked.

"We're not sure." replied Grandpa Longneck.

"What are you?" Chomper asked them.

"We are people Mr. Reptaur's baby." Tommy replied.

"Reptaur's baby?" said Chomper in confusion.

"Yes, Reptaur is the same type of dinosaur as you." Kimi said.

"You're looking for a Sharptooth?" gasped Topps in shock.
