Meanwhile...
The kids groaned as they were soon shown up in the middle of nowhere, or that's what it looked like, but they were all changed somehow, and seemed to be wearing clothes to fit the time period which were mostly rags and animal skins.
"Do you know them?" A girl's voice asked.
"No, I sure haven't seen them before." A boy's voice added.
"Ooh...what happened?" asked LJ.
"I feel like I got hit by a truck or something..." Chrissy muttered. "Ugh... I do not deserve this kind of treatment!"
The kids soon sat up, rubbing their heads before they woke up to see two blurred images which soon cleared up to show two kids. A girl with red hair tied with a bone like hair-bow, making her hair a ponytail and a boy with very light blonde hair that nearly looked white as a sheet which was an tangled mess of scruffy hair.
"Hey, they're waking up." The girl told the boy.
"Thank you for that astute observation." LJ replied as he helped the others up.
The boy and girl looked to them.
"Uh... Where are we...?" Zofia asked.
"The town of Bedrock!" The boy and girl smiled together.
"Talk about a yabba-dabba-doozy." LJ muttered.
"Heh... That's a good one," The girl chuckled. "Maybe I'll make that my new catchphrase."
"Who are you two?" Zofia asked.
"My name's Bamm-Bamm Rubble and this is my best friend, Pebbles Flintstone." The boy replied.
"Nice to meet'cha." LJ waved.
"Nice to meet you too," Bamm-Bamm said. "You're not hurt, are ya?"
"Slight headaches, but nothing severe..." Dib said before looking throughout the land. "Whoa... What happened here...?"
"Earthshake..." Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm pouted.
"Don't you mean 'earthquake'?" Akito asked the cave kids.
"Same thing." Pebbles shrugged.
"You guys think we should check it out?" asked Kimberly.
"All right, just be careful," Bamm-Bamm said before taking out his club. "Ya never know if something might be out there."
"Good point." Akito agreed.
They soon walked out of the cave together to see Bedrock in ruins and it seemed like almost everybody else was gone.
"Whoa...it's like everyone just up and left!" Chrissy exclaimed.
"Oh, I was afraid of this," Pebbles frowned. "Mom, Dad, Aunt Betty, and Uncle Barney told us to be careful. I wonder if Dino's out here?"
"And Hoppy." Bamm-Bamm added.
The two cave kids soon called out for their pets as the adults seemed to be gone.
"We might as well head out and look for 'em," LJ remarked. "Maybe we can get some help."
"I hope so." Pebbles pouted.
They soon wandered around for a while. As they traveled together, they wandered around for a bit until they found a purple-colored dinosaur with a blue collar around its neck and a green dinosaur that looked like a kangaroo.
"Dino!/Hoppy!" Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm smiled happily.
"Well...it IS the dinosaur era," LJ replied. "Go figure."
"They're your pets?" Zofia asked.
"Yep!" Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm replied.
"Caveman's best friend." Bamm-Bamm added as he pet Hoppy.
"Well, let's get moving." Martin suggested.
Everyone looked around as they tried to look for someone. A family of pterodactyl babies seemed to fly around, fighting over one cherry that they found.
"Aww... Look at them..." Kimberly cooed from that. "So adorable..."
"No kidding," Gaz nodded. "But what's next to them?"
"Looks like a sloth turtle...?" Akito shrugged.
The mother pterodactyl soon came out, giving cherries for all of her little ones after the other dinosaur stole the cherry away from them. They soon walked off together with their mother until they found a depressed looking long-necked dinosaur.
"Um...hi there," LJ waved. "What's wrong, little guy?"
The dinosaur looked away.
"Hey... Come on... You can tell us..." Zofia said.
"It's not fair... It's all her fault..." The dinosaur pouted.
"What's whose fault?" asked Kimberly.
"Mother's." The dinosaur pouted, feeling both sad and angry.
"What happened, dude?" asked Bamm-Bamm.
The young dinosaur looked to all of them as he looked quite unhappy. "Mother promised to take me to the Great Valley... But then Sharptooth got her... She went to sleep and didn't wake up..."
LJ and the others looked at each other. "I'm sorry you lost your mother...but she wouldn't want you to just lie down and give up." he replied.
"What'll I do?" The dinosaur sniffled sadly as he was mostly sad now. "I miss her so much."
"Well, where are you headed?" Chrissy asked.
"It's just not fair..." The dinosaur pouted.
"Yeah, well, at least you can remember your mom." Gaz said with a sharp sigh.
Everyone nodded in response.
"What do you mean?" The young dinosaur asked.
"My brother and I never really knew our mother," Gaz said to him. "She basically gave her DNA to our dad, and he used it to create clones of themselves... That became me and Dib... I have one faint memory of her, but other than that, it's just us and Dad, but even then, he's barely around. He's usually at work while we're on our own. It's a wonder we're still alive."
Dib nodded. "It is pretty tough." he added.
The dinosaur frowned. Everyone else soon said their names to the dinosaur.
"My name is Littlefoot." The dinosaur told them.
"Nice to meet you, Littlefoot," LJ waved. "We're heading to the Great Valley too. I suppose you could tag along!"
"Really?" Littlefoot asked.
"Yeah!" The group all smiled, though of course, Gaz not so much to smile, though she was more friendly than she used to be.
"So we could go together," Martin explained. "That way you wouldn't be lonely!"
"Well... Uh... I guess so... But... Mother..." Littlefoot frowned.
"I'm sure you miss your mom very much, but you can't let it stop you," Jenny said to him. "I mean, you might end up starving to death or something!"
"Yeah!" LJ added. "And I don't think your mum would want THAT to happen to you!"
"Well... Okay..." Littlefoot said, sniffling a bit. "I guess I could keep going..."
"Hopefully we can find our parents too." Bamm-Bamm said to Pebbles.
"Alright! A win for everybody!" Kimberly replied. "So let's get moving!"
Littlefoot soon walked along with them, though he was still going through the pain and sadness of grief, but no one could blame him for it, and he was a kid no less.
"Mother?" Littlefoot smiled hopefully as he looked out to the distance.
There appeared to be a shadow of a bigger long-necked dinosaur on the wall not too far away from them.
"Mother!" Littlefoot smiled and soon ran after the shadow, thinking his mother was back.
The kids looked at him, then back at each other.
"It's better that he find out on his own." sighed Zofia.
"You sure?" Dib asked.
"It might be best that way..." Chrissy said softly.
And so they watched as Littlefoot tried in vain to pursue his shadow. Littlefoot soon joined with his shadow and even nuzzled it, thinking his mother was really back after facing Sharptooth, but he soon dawned in realization that he hadn't really which was a bit heart-wrenching.
"And yet I felt nothing when Arlo thought he was back with Papa Henry..." Zofia commented.
"Because that wasn't as emotional as THIS." LJ sighed.
Chrissy and Kimberly looked like they could cry for Littlefoot. Littlefoot then knew for certain that he was alone and that though the Great Valley was far away and the journey perilous, he'd have to find his way, or the chain of life would be broken.
The group soon went back to traveling together until Dino soon barked like a dog as he saw someone coming.
"What is he, a dogosaurus?" Dib asked.
"He's a snorkasaurus, thank you!" Pebbles replied.
"I didn't even know those existed..." Raul replied.
"Well, that's what Mom and Dad told me anyway," Pebbles said. "What is it, Dino? Do you see somebody?"
Dino soon barked and pointed, showing another dinosaur who seemed to be on her own as well.
"Cera!" Littlefoot called out, coming to the young female triceratops. "Cera, hello."
"What do YOU want?" The triceratops glared.
LJ sighed. "She reminds me of Francine Frensky on a bad day." he muttered.
"Nothing. Where are you going?" Littlefoot asked Cera.
"I'm going to find my OWN kind," Cera huffed. "They're on the other side."
"I don't think you can climb up there." Bamm-Bamm said.
"Who the heck are you?!" Cera glared.
"That's not important," LJ replied. "We're heading to the Great Valley to find our families. You can come if you want."
"Yeah, you have fun with that, I'm going to get my family." Cera glared.
"Why don't you come so we can help each other?" Littlefoot asked.
"A three-horn does not need help from a long-neck!" Cera glared, kicking dust in his face as she climbed down.
LJ snorted. "How rude can you get?" he asked, annoyed.
Cera soon yelped as she slipped and fall down into a hole.
"Okay, well, we're going to the Great Valley, see you later." Chrissy smirked.
"W-Well, at least we wouldn't be alone." Littlefoot smiled nervously.
"Well, when I find my sisters, I won't BE alone, so go away," Cera huffed as she stormed off, still going without their help. "Three-horns can be very dangerous. They only talk with other three-horns, and they only travel with other three-horns."
"Yeah, because that kinda thinking has helped you so much at this point." LJ remarked sarcastically.
"Whatever!" Cera replied as she kept going.
Littlefoot pouted as he felt alone, but the others comforted him.
"Aw, come on, Littlefoot, we don't need her," Raul said. "We'll go find the Great Valley somehow."
"Yeah! And we'll do it together!" Kimberly added.
"Okay... Let's keep going..." Littlefoot said. "Mother says I remember the way, but I'm not too sure."
"Relax, dude," Martin replied. "As long as we got your back, then you're gonna be okay."
"Okay..." Littlefoot said while walking with them.
They soon got away from Cera, but they were also going to meet another new friend eventually.
"Now...what to search for?" LJ pondered as he looked around the area.
"Not sure..." Jenny said.
Chrissy soon knelt down, looking into the watering hole they encounter and washed her face a little. "If I'm going to be in the Stone Age, I might as well not look down and dirty like a caveman." she then told herself.
"Hey, not ALL cavemen are dirty!" Bamm-Bamm glared in offense.
"My apologies." LJ replied sheepishly.
Chrissy glanced over and continued to wash her face until she saw a small dinosaur in the water who seemed to be swimming around.
"Whoa...a tiny dinosaur!" Kimberly gushed. "And it looks so adorable!"
The tiny dinosaur soon came out with a smile. "Hello!"
"Hello, there!" Kimberly smiled back. "Oh, you are just so adorable!"
"What's your name?" asked Pebbles.
"My name is Ducky." The little dinosaur smiled.
"Guys, don't you know anything?" Littlefoot sighed. "Long-necks don't talk to... Uh... Whatever that is..."
"Me? l'm a long-neck, too. See?" Ducky smiled as she stretched out her body to become friends with Littlefoot. "And I have a long tail like you."
"Oh? That's so cool!" LJ exclaimed.
"Even if I don't think you're exactly a long-neck." Kimberly said before holding Ducky in her hands.
"Okay... I'm not..." Ducky pouted. "All right. I'm a bigmouth, but I am all alone. I am. I lost my family in the big earthshake."
"Oh, you poor thing." Kimberly frowned.
"You want to go with us?" Littlefoot offered.
"Yeah! Oh. Oh, yes, yes, yes! I do, I do!" Ducky beamed out of excitement.
"All right. Come on, but you have to keep up." Littlefoot told her.
"I will keep up. I will," Ducky smiled. "Where are we going?"
"To...THE GREAT VALLEY!" Dino announced triumphantly. "The journey may be difficult, but if we all stick together, we shall accomplish wonders!"
"Dino, you can talk?!" Pebbles asked out of shock.
"Well, I used to be able to," Dino replied. "Guess I just stopped for awhile since I got tired of it."
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm both looked surprised from that, but smiled to the dinosaur.
"Come on, guys," Littlefoot said. "Let's go find my grandparents."
"Do you think my family went to the Great Valley, too?" Ducky asked.
"Maybe. My mother said it's where all the herds were going." Littlefoot said.
"So we can meet up with them in that Great Valley...or New Bedrock, even." LJ replied.
"Oh, I hope. I hope." Ducky smiled.
"Then let's get moving!" Jenny declared.
They soon walked along the trail, going with their new friend.
"Dee dee dee Doo doo, Doo doo Da da da doo, Da dee dee Doo doo~," Ducky began to sing to herself before giggling. "Don't step on a crack, or you'll fall and break your back~"
LJ glanced at Chrissy, who was fussing over her current look.
"I can't pull off these clothes..." Chrissy pouted to herself. "Why couldn't we had been in a more fashionable timeline?"
"Hey, Chrissy, it's cool," LJ replied. "You look great, no matter what historical period! Plus you really pull off the cavegirl look."
"Well, I-" Chrissy glared at first before smiling once she realized what the last of what he said was. "Really?"
"Sure!" LJ replied.
"Hmm..." Chrissy replied before looking at her reflection in the water. "I guess I do look pretty good."
"As long as Cindy doesn't hear that." Pebbles mumbled.
"Friend of yours?" Raul asked.
"No, she's an enemy..." Pebbles rolled her blue-green eyes. "She thinks she's better than everyone and usually tries to make Bamm-Bamm be her boyfriend."
"Huh, I think I know what you mean." Estelle said, thinking of Tammi Sparks in Southdale High School.
"Hoo, boy..." LJ sighed. "I guess jerks existed since before the beginning of time."
"I'm afraid so," Pebbles replied. "Luckily Dino and Daddy protect us as much as they can."
"Awesome," Zofia replied. "So let's go."
Suddenly, everyone's stomachs began to growl.
"My stomach is talking!" Ducky giggled.
"Mine, too," Littlefoot replied until he saw a tree. "Hmm... I wonder what this tastes like?" he then said before biting onto the leaves, pulling on it, but a scream was heard.
"That tree is talking!" Ducky gasped.
"Someone must be in the branches." Gaz replied.
"You should not eat talking trees," Ducky shook her head. "Nope, nope, nope."
Akito soon came up into the tree and took out a small dinosaur, coming back to the others. "Aw, it's a little pterodactyl." he then said.
"Hey, little guy," LJ replied. "What's your name?"
"M-My name Petrie." The pterodactyl said.
"Petrie, huh?" Ducky replied. "Funny name."
"Uh, I'll flied?" Petrie asked them.
"Close, but no, little muchacho," LJ replied. "You fell."
"Aw..." Petrie pouted from that.
"You cannot fly?" Ducky asked the pterodactyl. "How did you get up there?"
"I climb." Petrie said.
"But you're a flier, not a faller." Littlefoot told him.
"Hard thing to fly." Petrie pouted.
"With time, you shall learn." Raul remarked.
"I guess it's hard to fly," Littlefoot guessed. "We can't do it."
"Nope, we cannot." Ducky added.
Akito grinned bashfully, but didn't say anything as he was able to fly himself.
"Some of us can, but mostly we can't." LJ replied.
They soon went to get going while taking Petrie with them.
