Here's my birthday gift to you guys.

Also, this chapter is dedicated to my dear Nana. She died on April 5, 2017. I'm very grateful that she was able to provide my mother a home. If she wasn't there for my mom, I don't know where my mom would be right now.

Don't grieve for me; for now I'm free,

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard him call;

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay for another day,

to laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.

Ah-yes! these things I too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;

good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,

don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your head and share with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

Love and miss you, Nana. My family and I will see you again.

"Hmm. Tree stars grow where there's lots of water. If we follow this water..."

We had found a small stream and decided to stop for a little break. We were all exhausted from the heat and I was pretty sure I had a very bad tan. (Yes, it was gone when I returned to my world.)

Petrie looked at the stream. "Hmm. No green foods here, and I still hungry."

Ducky sighed. "I'm still hungry, too."

"I'm sure we'll find something, guys," I said. I too was getting hungry, but I decided that I should wait and try to find something for the five dinos.

"Can you smell something?" asked Littlefoot. He looked at me and I shrugged. "Don't look at me. I'm human. I can't smell things like you do."

Petrie started sniffing the air. "I...I... I smell... I smell... I smell... Hmm. Ducky."

Ducky looks at him amused. "You smell me?"

Littlefoot had followed the small stream towards a rocky wall. "I smell water. I smell..."

He takes a big whiff of air and looks at gap in the wall. "...tree stars!"

I had to move out of the way so I wouldn't get knocked down when everyone ran to see where Littlefoot was looking. Below us, there were a small clump of trees that had a lot of green on them.

"Oh, look!" Ducky cried, "Green food!"

"The Great Valley!" cheered Cera, "I found it!"

"Cera, stop it!" said Littlefoot.

"I found it!"

Before I could say something, the ground started to shake.

Oh shit...

"Earthshake!" cried Littlefoot, "We've got to get out of here!"

"That way! Come on!" I yelled.

As we rushed to get down I heard Ducky cry out, "Spike! Hurry up!"

I looked up to see Ducky struggling to get Spike out of the gap.

"Ducky, Spike, get out of there!" I yelled as I climbed my way back towards them.

Once I reached the top, I tried to get Spike out of there, but man! That dino was heavy! As I was pulling Spike, I heard Ducky gasp and looked up.

"TAKE COVER!"

By the time everyone hit the floor, the wall exploded. I lifted my head up as soon as the shaking stopped. Down below the group of Apatosauruses were devouring the leaves of the trees.

"They're eating our food!"

I looked at Cera who was frowning at the Apatosaureses.

"Look, look what they're doing! They're so greedy! What about me? I'm still hungry!"

"Haah! You hungry? I empty all the way to the top," said Petrie, "Now we at the Great Valley and still got no green foods. We be hungry forevers. Ohh!" And with that he collapsed on top of a rock.

"No, Petrie. Cera was wrong," said Littlefoot, "This isn't the Great Valley."

"Oh, it is not a great anything. Nope, nope, nope," agreed Ducky.

I looked at the group of Apatosaureses. They were starting to leave, since they were done eating.

"Well, we better go down and see if there's anything left," I said.

We headed toward the bare trees and started searching for anything that was green. When we were on the wall, the clump of trees looked small. But when we reached the trees, it was huge. The trees were so close together, we had to zig-zag through them. We looked in all directions, but we couldn't find anything. With each passing moment, the dinos were slowly giving up. They were about to give up completely. But that was before they heard me shout out "Eureka!" In the distance, standing in a small clearing, was a small tree. Due to its size, it was untouched when the Apatosauruses went on a food frenzy.

"Petrie," Littlefoot said as we went towards the tree, "do you think you could, uh, fly up there and-"

"No! No!"

"Petrie, do not feel sad," said Ducky, "It is alright. Many things do not fly rocks, trees, sticks, Spike."

Before I knew what was happening, Littlefoot, Petrie, Ducky, and Spike were all on top of each other trying to reach the leaves. They were having a pretty hard time trying not to fall over while getting the food. Meanwhile, Cera was laughing her tail off.

"You four look so ridiculous. Ha ha ha ha!"

Finally, the four dinos managed to get a couple of leaves. Spike and Littlefoot were already on the floor, but Ducky and Petrie were still in the tree.

"Ducky, Petrie, come down here! You've got green food!" I said.

Ducky let go and landed safely in the pile of leaves, but Petrie was still hanging on a small twig. The twig snapped and he went down.

"Fly, Petrie!" said Ducky.

"Fly, Petrie! Flap your wings!" encouraged Littlefoot, but Petrie wouldn't do it. The only thing he did do was closing his eyes and opening up his wings. I held out my hands and he glided right into my palms. He looked at me hopefully. "I flied?" he asked. I only gave him an apologetic look.

Littlefoot went to get Cera while the others started eating. "Come on, Cera. We've got green food."

Cera only huffed. "I can get my own green food." She then started hitting another tree..that had no green on it. I sighed. The only thing she's going to accomplish is getting herself a headache. So I grabbed two large handfuls of leaves and threw them down at Cera. Cera saw the food and started munching on it. "See? I can take care of myself. All by myself."

Littlefoot and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. We both knew that she was not going to survive if she was alone.

"And I'm not afraid to be alone! I know my way to go, and I'm not afraid of sharptooth!" Cera ranted on as she perched herself on a small rocky ledge. "I hope he doesn't eat any of you."

Littlefoot glared at her. "Don't worry," he said to the rest of the group, "There isn't any sharptooth."

Ducky gasped softly. "Sharptooth!" She then urged Spike to follow her where Cera was. Everyone, except for Littlefoot and I, went and made themselves comfortable on the rocky ledge. While they were doing that, I helped myself to some peanuts in my bag.

"There isn't any sharptooth," said Littlefoot as he walked away from the group.

He then made himself comfortable inside a T-rex footprint. I looked at Littlefoot and knew that something was making him upset. So I walked over to where he was, took my stuff off my back, and sat down.

"Littlefoot, are you okay?"

He sighed. "I miss my mother." He looked at me, a tear streaming down his face. "Why did she have to leave me alone? It's her fault that she's gone!"

"Littlefoot, it isn't her fault. She didn't know that she was going to leave you so soon and you didn't know either. It's all part of life. She may be gone, but there is one place where she'll always be with you."

"Where?"

"Your heart."

He didn't say anything so I continued. "Even though you can't see her, she'll always guide you. Don't grieve over her death. Cherish the times you had together."

He sniffed. "Okay." After a moment of silence, he said, "Anna?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

We laid down and we were about to close our eyes when heard someone coming. I looked up and saw Ducky walking towards us. She then plopped herself onto Littlefoot's neck and fell asleep instantly. Not long after that, Petrie came and made himself comfortable on Littlefoot's snout. Then, Spike came. Few seconds later, Cera was with the others. All of them were knocked because of the long walk we took. I looked at them and smiled. I'll get you guys home to the Great Valley. I promise. It didn't take long before sleep overcame me.

Not long after I closed my eyes, I was standing inside some sort of throne room. The walls and floors were made of marble and a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. The throne itself was impressive. It was made out of crystal and it was changing color every 5 seconds. On one side of the throne stood a staff, also made out of crystal, with a green crystal on the top. Before I could do anything, someone spoke.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Anna."

What do you think happens next? Feel free to comment. NO FLAMES! Until next time!
