Episode 24 - The Very Sharp Threehorn Girl
Now available in French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and Sharptooth!
Scene: The Great Valley.
Littlefoot, Cera, and Chomper are walking through a forest. Cera and Chomper are in an argument.
Chomper: "Sharpteeth aren't that bad. I mean, I'm a sharptooth, and I'm still nice."
Cera: "You all still gotta eat, though."
Chomper: "Well..."
Cera: "At least you're all easy to deal with."
Chomper: "What do you mean?"
Cera: "Well, it's just like when we dropped that big rock on your dad's head!"
Chomper: "Leave my daddy out of this!"
Cera: "Why? He's just as dumb as all the other sharpteeth we've ever run into!"
Chomper: "I keep telling you, sharpteeth aren't dumb!"
Cera: "Then how do we always get away from them!?"
Chomper: "That's something I'd LOVE to know!"
Cera: "It's because we're always smarter than them!"
Chomper: "You take that back!"
Cera: Laughs. "Why should I?"
Chomper brandishes one of his claws. Littlefoot steps back, looking worried.
Chomper: "I said take it back!"
Littlefoot: "Uh...Chomper?"
Cera: "It's true!"
Chomper starts to growl.
Chomper: "Can't you hear me? I said take it back, you...you...threehorn!"
Littlefoot looks back and forth between the arguing threehorn and sharptooth, then gulps.
Littlefoot: "Uh...guys...er...gals...friends?"
Cera: "Humpth!"
Chomper starts to breathe heavily, looking like he's about to do something, but quickly turns around and runs off.
Littlefoot: "Whew!"
Littlefoot walks up to Cera.
Littlefoot: "Hey, Cera? What did you say that for?"
Cera: "Just trying to put some sense in that sharptooth."
Littlefoot: "Well, that was really mean."
Cera: "Well, LONGNECK, I'm just telling it like it is!"
Cera turns and walks off.
Littlefoot: "Wow, that was...strange. Hmm, maybe I should just think of something else right now, I'm sure they'll work it out. Hey, maybe I should go and talk to someone about it!"
The little longneck runs off.
Scene: The Great Valley, later in the day.
Spike stands next to a bush, eating his fill. Littlefoot walks up to him.
Littlefoot:"Hey, Spike. Um...I have something I want to talk about. You don't mind, right?"
Spike glances at Littlefoot, then takes a bite out of the bush.
Littlefoot: "Good. You see...it's about Ali. I kinda think she likes me."
Spike takes another bite out of the bush.
Littlefoot: "I...kinda think I like her too, but I don't really know how to tell her. I mean, I have to make it sound convincing, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for it or not.
Spike burps.
Littlefoot: "Oh well, It's just something I need to think about some more. Hey, thanks Spike. It's nice to have someone to talk to about this stuff!"
Spike grunts lightly and takes yet another bite out of the bush.
Suddenly, some bushes next to the pair shake. Littlefoot and Spike turn to look at the bush worriedly, before Chomper steps out.
Chomper: "Hey guys."
Littlefoot: "Oh...hey Chomper."
Chomper: "...Hey, Littlefoot?"
Littlefoot: "What's the matter?"
Chomper: "Well, It's just that I'm still mad at Cera."
Littlefoot: "I can kinda understand how you would be. It's just, you had me kind of worried earlier.
Chomper: "Worried? How?"
Littlefoot: "Well, it's just that you...uh...never mind."
Chomper: "Oh. Anyway, I want to get back at her for that."
Littlefoot: "You...you do?"
Chomper: "Yeah, of course! So, I've gotten together with the Professor, and we got a plan for something GREAT to play on Cera!"
Littlefoot: Looking worried. "What?"
Chomper: Laughs maniacally. "We're gonna show Cera what it's REALLY like being a sharptooth!"
Scene: The Great Valley, at night, at the threehorn nest.
Cera is asleep in her nest, along with Topsy, Tria, and Tricia. Cera is snoring loudly.
Littlefoot, Spike, and Chomper sneak up on Cera, and pick her up. They all work together to carry her. The little threehorn continues to snore.
Littlefoot: "Oof, Cera sure is heavy!"
Spike: "Uh-huh."
Chomper: "At least she's a heavy sleeper too!"
Scene: The Professor's Cave.
The camera shows a flat rock in the middle of the room. The Gang comes over, and lays Cera down on the rock.
Littlefoot: "Alright, we got her here. Now what?"
Chomper: Laughs. "Now we just wait for the Professor, of course!"
Professor: "Here I am!"
The Professor enters the cave, and walks up to the middle. His cloths are cut up, and he has a few cuts over his body.
Littlefoot: "What happened, Professor?"
Professor: "...Don't ask."
He comes up to the sleeping Cera, and pulls dozens of sharpteeth teeth out of his pocket, depositing them on the rocky table.
Professor: "Heh, the first thing I'll do is give her some sharpteeth."
The Professor starts working the sharpteeth into her mouth with some gooey substance. A time lapse happens, to where Cera's mouth is now full of sharpteeth. Littlefoot and Chomper just stare at him while he works.
Professor: "Oh, by the way, where's everyone else?"
Chomper: "Oh, they left when me and Cera started to argue."
Littlefoot: "Yeah, they don't like listening to it. They didn't want to be involved, actually."
Professor: "Hmm, and why did you want to be involved?"
Littlefoot: "That's...a very good question."
Chomper: "So, what's next, Professor?"
Professor: "Next, to make her TALK like a sharptooth!"
The human takes a second communication device, sets it to Sharptooth, and sticks it on Cera, on the back of her face plate. He then pulls out another strange device.
Professor: "Let's see now. This here is a smell amplifier. I'll just stick this up in there like so..."
The Professor forcibly shoves the device in Cera's left nostril. She STILL doesn't wake up.
Professor: "...and now Cera's ability to smell is increased a hundred fold. Now for the kicker!"
The Professor pulls a vial of black liquid out of his pocket.
Chomper: "Uh...what's that?"
Professor: "It's the Elixir-that-Makes-Everything-Taste-Horrible, of course! Just one drop of this, and she won't be able to keep down anything tomorrow!"
Littlefoot: "But...isn't that kind of mean?"
Chomper: "Well, what Cera did was mean too!"
Professor: "And besides, it'll wear off after a day or so. It's just to make Cera THINK she can't eat greenfood anymore!"
Chomper: "That's great! So, is that it?"
Professor: "Hmm, I suppose so.
Littlefoot: "I'm not so sure about this. Maybe we should stop."
Chomper: "Aw, come on Littlefoot! What could possibly go wrong?"
-Commercial Break-
Scene: The Watering Hole.
At the threehorn nest, Cera wakes up before any of the other threehorns.
Cera: Yawns. So hungry right now. Let's see what we have this morning.
Cera walks over to a bush.
Cera: Looks like it'll do.
Cera takes a bite out of the bush, chews on it for a bit, then spits it out in disgust.
Cera: Bleh! What is this stuff!? It...takes horrible!
Cera brings her tongue up to gently lick one of the leafs, then pulls it back.
Cera: What's going on?
Off in the distance, Littlefoot is in some greenery close to the Watering Hole, eating breakfast.
Cera: Hmm, there's the longneck. Maybe he knows what's going on with me.
She starts to walk up to the group.
Cera: Hey, Littlefoot...
The Gang turn their heads towards Cera, then act scared for their lives as they dart off in varying directions.
Cera: ...That's weird. Why was he so scared of me?
Cera looks to the side of the pond, at the threehorn nest. Mr. Threehorn and Tria are now up and eating close by, with Tricia playing off to the side.
Cera: Ah, my parents! They've gotta know whats up!
Cera dashes off to her parents.
Cera: Hey, Tria! Daddy! What's going on with me?
Mr. Threehorn: "What was that noise?"
Cera: Hey Daddy, listen to me! I don't know what's wrong with me!
Tria: "Um...it's Cera, but she's roaring at us."
Cera: Hey, why is this greenfood tasting so bad? I don't understand what's going on.
Mr. Threehorn: "Cera, what are you doing?"
Cera: Daddy? Why are you mumbling at me? I don't know what you're saying!
Mr. Threehorn: "Cera! Stop fooling around and talk to me!"
Cera rushes forward to the pond next to the threehorn nest. She looks at her own reflection in the water, shakes her head, takes a second look, then screams.
Cera: What's happening to me!?
She slowly backs away, then bolts off. Her parents look on at her, confused.
Mr. Threehorn: "What's wrong with our daughter, Tria?"
Tria: "Oh, I don't know. Must have lost another game to Littlefoot yesterday or something."
Scene: The edge of the Great Valley.
Chomper is up, eating some ground crawlers close to the Secret Caves.
Cera runs past him, looking freaked out.
Chomper: Mmm, these are some good ground crawlers!
Cera suddenly stops and turns around.
Cera: Did...did you just say something, Chomper?
Chomper: Well yes, I did...but, how did you hear that?
Cera: What do you mean?
Chomper: I mean, I'm speaking in sharptooth right now. I'm roaring at you!
Cera: But...that doesn't make any sense!
Chomper: Wait, what happened to your teeth?
Cera: My teeth?
Chomper: Yeah, they're so pointy and...sharp even! Wait, have you tried to eat anything today?
Cera: Well, yeah, but I couldn't keep it down!
Chomper: Of course! That would explain everything!
Cera: What would?
Chomper: You're a sharptooth now!
Cera: What?
Chomper: You must be!
Cera: But...wh...how...huh?
Cera: Then...what am I going to eat? Those ground crawlers?
Chomper: Looking worried. No, not these! Um, you're a lot bigger than me, so they wouldn't fill you up anyway.
Cera: Then what do I eat!?
Chomper: Heheh, I'm sure you'll find something.
Cera: Do you mean...eat someone?
Chomper: What did you think I meant?
Cera: But...I don't want to eat anyone! That would just be...no!
Chomper: Well, tough luck, Cera.
Cera: Just the idea of it and all. It's just so...ugh!
Chomper: No one ever said it's easy being a sharptooth.
Cera: I...need to go think for a bit.
Cera starts to walk off, looking blank and horrified.
Chomper: Oh, okay. Tell me if you need anything, though.
Chomper eats some more ground crawlers, as the rest of the Gang walk up to him.
Littlefoot: "How's it going, Chomper?"
Chomper: "Great! Cera's really freaked out right now, especially after I gave her some...ideas."
Littlefoot: "I still think this is really mean, Chomper."
Chomper: "How so? I'm just putting her in my feet. Making her see what it's like to be me. Anyway, I think it's about time to tell her what's going on."
Littlefoot: "But where did Cera go?"
Chomper: "Hmm, I can still smell her."
Littlefoot: "Well, lead the way!
Chomper sticks his sniffer on the ground, and follows Cera's scent.
Scene: The Hidden Valley.
Chomper walks up to the Mysterious Beyond exit, and lifts his head up.
Chomper: "...oops."
Littlefoot: "What is Cera thinking!?"
Chomper: "Don't worry, we'll come and save you, C-"
Littlefoot: "...And what were YOU thinking!?"
-Commercial Break-
Scene: The Mysterious Beyond, in the afternoon.
In the woods of the Beyond, Cera prowls around, sniffing for something she could eat.
Cera: Let's see here...gotta find SOMETHING to eat.
She looks through one bush and sees a giant adult longneck.
Cera: No, too big. He'd just smash me with his tail.
She looks through a second bush to see a tiny ground crawler on a rock.
Cera: No, too small. I'd never fill myself up eating those.
Cera walks a bit more to look through yet another bush, seeing two very young threehorns snuggling each other lovingly, accompanied by heartwarming music.
Cera: Oh, come on!
She turns around, sighing angrily. She trots some more, before another smell reaches her new, improved sniffer.
Cera: Hmm, now what's THAT smell?
Cera slowly trudges forward, before sticking her head through a bush. On the other side, she sees two sort of young fast biters. It's Guaro and Bo!
Guaro: Any idea where our brother went?
Bo: No idea. You're the one that's supposed to keep an eye on him!
Guaro: Not since I gave you that job yesterday! Remember?
Bo: How can I ever remember anything you say with your constant blabbing!?
Guaro: Why you little...!
Cera gasps.
Cera: Sh...sh...sharpteeth!
She turns to run, but stops in her escape to think.
Cera: Wait...how about sharpteeth? Yeah, I could eat sharpteeth. I don't see anything wrong with that. Not at all! Plus, if I get rid of some of them, I'll be a hero!
Cera starts to growl, as she steps out of the foliage.
Bo: Is that you, Cutter?
Guaro: It kinda sounds like it.
They both turn to see the threehorn growling at them.
Guaro: Well, won't you look at that!
Bo: Looks good!
Cera: Not as good as you look!
Guaro: Wait, did that flattooth just talk?
Cera: I'm not a flattooth, dummy!
Guaro: Well, you look like one.
Bo: Licking his lips. And I'm sure you'll taste like one!
Cera: I'm tired of talking; CHARGE!
Cera takes off towards the two fast biters. She rams them both, knocking them to the side. She keeps running and stops at the other side. Littlefoot and Chomper step up from behind the woods to see the action ensuing.
Chomper: "Oh no! We have to stop her!"
Littlefoot: "But what are we going to do!?"
Chomper: Cera! CERA!
Cera stops and turns her head. Guaro and Bo get back up.
Cera: Chomper? What are you doing here?
Chomper: Cera, listen to me! You're not a sharptooth!
Bo and Guaro inch up to Cera.
Cera: I'm...I'm not?
Chomper: No, you're still the same tasty threehorn you've always been!
Cera: Really? I am?
Chomper: ...Yeah.
Bo licks his lips again.
Cera: Blankly. ...Huh.
Cera stands there for a second, then turns tail and runs away.
Cera: "Ahhh!"
She runs past Littlefoot, who also starts to run.
Littlefoot: "Run!"
Cera: Run!
Scene: The Great Valley, later that afternoon.
Cera is on the ground, with the Professor working on her. Littlefoot and Chomper are looking on. The Professor rips the communicator off Cera.
Cera: "Ow!"
Chomper: "It worked!"
Cera: "What are you talking about?"
Littlefoot: "Cera! I can hear you again!"
Professor: "And it looks like that's it! You're back to normal!"
Cera: "I am? You mean, I can eat greenfood again?"
Professor: "Well...no. That's gonna wear off by tomorrow, though."
Cera: "And these teeth?"
Professor: "Oh...right. That'll be kind of hard to get out. You know, what with super glue and all. Didn't feel like getting to it today."
Cera: "And my nose?"
Professor: Laughs. "I completely forgot about that! But other than those three things, you're back to your old threehorn self!"
Cera: "Whatever."
Littlefoot: "Chomper! You should be ashamed of yourself! Playing a trick like that on Cera."
Chomper: "I'm...I'm sorry."
Cera: "Yeah, serves you..."
Littlefoot: "And shame on you Cera! You shouldn't have said all those bad things about Chomper's kind; you hurt his feelings!"
Cera: "I'm sorry...I guess."
Chomper: "You know Cera, sometimes I wonder why I haven't eaten you yet."
Chomper comes over and gives Cera a hug. Cera gets wide eyed.
Chomper: "Not often though!"
