Episode 32 - Not Without my Eggs! Part 2

For those that need psychiatric help. Yes, I'm looking at you!

Scene: The Mysterious Beyond, in a forest

Ozzy and Strut are running though the forest, eggs in tow, while Ridge is racing after them, Harper on his back.

Harper: "Good... good. Just keep on their tails, Ridge."

The view switches over to the two eggstealers.

Strut: "Ozzy! They're still after us!"

Ozzy: "Blasted kids! Why are these little brats still at it? Why do eggs always have to be such a huge pain in the hindquarters?"

Strut: "They're not worth it! Just drop em, Ozzy!"

Ozzy skids to an abrupt halt. Strut smacks into his back, and false backwards.

Ozzy: "Don't you ever... EVER, say it's not worth it!"

Harper and Ridge closes in on the pair, and stops, dumbfounded.

Ridge: (Whispers) "Hey, Harper? What are they doing?"

Strut looks likes he's almost on the verge of tears.

Strut: "I'm... sorry, Ozzy. I didn't mean to..."

Ozzy: "Oh, just shut it! You little weedwhacker! Don't you EVER have your priorities straight?"

Strut: "...But Ozzy..."

Ozzy: "I mean, what in the freaking great beyond is wrong with you!?"

Harper: (Whispers) "...Wow."

Ozzy sets the two eggs down to his side.

Ridge: (Whispers) "Now's our chance!"

Ozzy: "Since we both popped out of... eggs, you've never liked em!"

Strut looks up at his brother defiantly.

Strut: "Well, maybe it's because I CAME out of an egg!"

Ozzy: "Well, you HAVE to eat eggs! Without eggs, you'd die!"

Strut just keeps staring at his brother.

Ozzy: "Anyway, let's get going now."

Ozzy tries grabbing for the eggs, but comes up with nothing.

Ozzy: "Hey, what the..."

THe view switches over to Ridge and Harper, running off with the eggs.

Ozzy: "ah, now we've got you!"

Harper: "Ridge!"

Suddenly, a loud sharptooth roar bellows out of the forest. Everyone's heads shoot up.

Strut: "wh... what was that?"

Ridge: "I don't really wanna find out!"

Ozzy quickly grabs the eggs, then runs off. Harper quicky notices, and flies off after him.

Harper: "Oh no, you don't!"

The ground shakes, and Ridge and Strut just lay there, petrifide.

Ridge: "I really wanna go home right now!"

Strut: "Me, too!"

Redclaw lumbers out, knocking down trees in his wake, and the spiketail and eggstealer scream. They take off together.

The two pairs run into two different caves in the side of a cliff, Harper and Ridge in one, and Ozzy and Strut in another.

Harper: "oh, those poor, poor eggs."

Ridge: "Well, at least we're safe here, huh, Harper?"

Harper keeps staring out at the other cave entrance, with Redclaw prowling around in between.

Ridge: "...Harper?"

The small flyer shoots off out of the cave."

Ridge: "Harper!"

Harper soars past Redclaw, missing a snap from his jaws by inches, before she barrels down the entrance of the other cave, with murder in her eyes. The view switches to the two eggstealers, still catching thier breaths.

Strut: "Ozzy, He's gonna get us!"

Ozzy: "Relax, Strut. Nothing can get us in he..."

Harper streamsinto the cave, and engolfs the older eggstealer in pecks and scratches.

Ozzy: "Aaaahhh! Get it off! Get it off!"

Strut: "H...hold on, Ozzy!"

the younger eggstealer rushes to grab the little flyer, but just keeps slapping and clawing at Ozzy.

Ozzy: "Ahh!"

Strut: "Sorry."

Ozzy: "Get out! Strut, get out!"

The eggstealers run out of cave. Redclaw roars at them again, and they turn about-face.

Ozzy: "Back in! Back in!"

Harper grabs the two eggs, and rolls them a small distance away from the eggstealers.

Ozzy: "Bring those buewties back, thief!"

Harper: "Never!"

Ozzy: "Strut! go grab em, then!"

Strut takes a long look at Ozzy's face, which is covered with cuts and scrapes.

Strut: "No way, Ozzy!"

Ozzy: (Angry and annoyed grunt.)

Harper: "You're not taking my mother's eggs anywhere!"

Ozzy: "Well, you aren't either, weedeater! Just look outside."

The little Pteranodon stares at the massive predater outside the cave.

Harper: "Hmm. Guess we're at a Standstill, then."

Scene: The Great Valley,

Mr. Thicknose is laying at his nest, wide awake. He rustles around some, unable to go asleep.

Mr. Thicknose: "Why? Why does this always happen to me? I see something, or someone talks to me, and then everyone laughs me up for it."

The old creature works himself to his again, and starts pacing.

Mr. Thicknose.: "Just tell me whats wrong... with me. Just tell me what's wrong! Who am I talking to? OH, I don't know. I don't even ? know who I'm talking to anymore.

The old Thicknose flops back on the ground, and looks into the sky.

Mr. Thicknose: "Am I really just seeing things? Please, please just let me know. Tell me, you... you, whovever you are!"

Suddenly, a bright, straight beam of light shoots off from the distance, from one of the rainbowface's that just left the valley. Mr. Thicknose lowers his face to the ground, and covers them with his front paws.

Mr. Thicknose: "...I shouldn't have asked."

-Commercial break-

Scene: The Great Valley, at the Flyer nest.

Pterano: "...Eggs? What eggs?"

Mrs. Flyer: "Oh dear."

Scene: The Mysterious Beyond.

Ozzy stares over at the smocking mountain.

Ozzy: "I've got an idea!"

Strut: "Really? What?"

The older eggstealer grabs his brother's hand, and shoots off to the side, towards the smoking mountain. Strut struggles with htechange of direction, nearly dropping his egg.

Strut: "...uh, Ozzy? You really wanna go into a big smoking mountain like that, Ozzy?"

Ozzy: "Well, we can't get them off our tails, Strut! So, we're just gonna have to..."

Strut: "What? You mean.."

Ozzy: "Yes, Strut. We gotta eggsterminate em!"

-Commercial break-

Scene: The Great Valley.

A nearby bush rustles, Alarming the old thicknose.

Thicknose: "Who is it?"

The Male Rainbowface steps out from among the foliage. And the two creatures stare at each other. The view switches between them both, getting closer and closer with each switch. Suddenly, Mr. Thicknose turns friendly.

Mr. Thicknose: "Well, look who it is! Hey! Buddy!"

The Rainbowface walks up.

Male Rainbowface: "Hello again, old friend!"

Mr. Thicknose: "Wher've you been?"

Male Rainbowface: "Oh, you know... around."

A hearty laugh bellows out from the old creature.

Male Rainbowface: "How has the valley been?"

Mr. Thicknose: "Same old boring valley."

He sighs.

Male Rainbowface: "Hey, you've got that old..."

Mr. Thicknose: "Human?"

Male Rainbowface: "Yeah, Human. You have him now."

Mr. Thicknose: "I guess so. A lot of residents think he's crazy, just like they all think I'm... looney."

The rainbowface looks deep in thought.

Male Rainbowface: "You still telling everyone about how we came from ooze?"

Mr. Thicknose: "You mean murky ooze? Yes, I am."

Male Rainbowface: "Hmm."

The little creature passes back and forth.

Male Rainbowface: "And you never stopped to think why I told you not to?"

Mr. Thicknose: "I don't see why anyone shouldn't know something!"

The rainbowface walks away from Mr. Thicknose a small distance.

Male Rainbowface: "Well, it was a little... slip up that got out.

Mr. Thicknose: "Really? Why would you say that?"

Male Rainbowface: Let's just say it's better for people to figure things out on their own.

The rainbowface turns tail, and starts walking off.

Male Rainbowface: "It's been great getting to catch up on some things, friend. Let's do it again, sometime.

Mr. Thicknose: "Hey, Friend?"

Male Rainbowface: "Yes?"

Mr. Thicknose: "You ever gonna get 'round to showing me where you're from?"

Male Rainbowface: "Oh, I don't know. MAybe one day."

The alien keeps walking, before stopping out of earshot of the old creature.

Male Rainbowface: (sighs) "Well, that was a total failure."

He puts his claw up over his face in angwish.

Male Rainbowface: "I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to that inquisitive little longneck."

Scene: "Inside of the volcano.

Harper: "Yes, I think I can eggsplain."

Ridge: "Oh, come on! Not you too!"

Harper: "My, would you two listen to yourselves for a minute!?"

Ozzy: "Hmm?"

Strut: "What?"

Harper: "You're both brothers, aren't you?"

Ridge: "Um, Harper? What are you doing?"

Harper: "Ozzy? Is that your name? I see you're being being very hateful towards your brother. Really, I don't know why he stays with you, but he must see something in you. Though, I do think you should try being a little more nice to him."

Ozzy: "You thing so?"

Harper: "I know so. And you, Strut. Yes, Ozzy is very firm with you sometimes, but he only does it because he loves you.

Strut: "He does?"

Harper: "Well, yes. I believe he does love you. He only wants what's best for you, and he's just pushing you to do what he thinks is right."

Ridge: "Harper!"

Another earthshake rumbles through the volcano. Ozzy and Harper loose their grip on the eggs.

Harper and Ozzy: "The eggs!"

The flyer and the eggstealer let go of the side of the cliff face, towards the falling eggs.

Ridge: "Harper!"

Strut: "Ozzy!"

The Larger spiketail and the smaller eggstealer sling their heads downward, catching their falling comrades tails in their mouths.

Harper: "Nooo!"

Ozzy: "My eggs!"

All four watch the two eggs, and they plumet down into the lava. Harper and Ozzy stare down at the lava, which is bubbling up from the steam in the eggs, while Ridge and Strut drag them back up.

Scene: Outside the volcano.

Ridge steps out of the volcano, with Harper on his back. She can't even speak. A few moments later, Strut lumbers out, Supporting Ozzy on his side, who barely seems interested in even walking.

Professor: "I'm so sorry for your family... Um..."

Tara: "Tara."

Professor: "Oh yes, right. Well, my condolences go out to you. Loosing your eggs like that must be awful. It must be so hard for you and Pterano."

Tara: "Thank you so much, creature. It really helps having people... hey, wait. What do you mean 'me and Pterano'?"

Professor: "Well, I... it's just he's the only male flyer around and..."

Tara: "WITH MY OWN BROTHER!? Well, I never!"

The gang, whose now a small distance away, look on as the Professor bolts past the screen in terror, with Tara folloing from the air.

Professor: "I'm... I'm sorry about that, mame, I didn't know!"

Tara: "That someone could even have the audacity to think I'd ever think of... UGH!"

Professor: "Oh God! I'm sorry!"

Tara: "Come back and tell all of that to my beak, or my claws!"

Professor: (Blind screams of utter terror.)

The view moves over to Pterano, whose a ways away from all the commotion.

Pterano: "So, the last time she took a little trip into the Beyond, she... er... had a little two much fun with some bombastic young male flyer. She seemed really embarresed about it when she told me, so don't tell anyone else about it, okay? I Definately don't yearn for this whole thing getting out, friend."

Pterano takes off to the air, and the view moves over a little more, to Mr. Thicknose, whose deep in thought.
