Introducing the Super Sharptooth Defense Force, with it's leader, Mr. Threehorn!
Scene: An ocean.
A Greek period ship with about a dozen humans on it is sailing into a huge cave on the side of an island.
Mate #1: "Where are we going?"
Caption: "We have to get through this island to get back to our home!"
Mate #2: "But have you heard the legends of the sea monster?"
Mate #3: "He can eat men whole! And you don't see him coming till it's too late.
Caption: "That is a risk I'm willing to take."
The ship is inside the cavern.
Mate #2: "It's quiet. Too quiet."
Mate #1: "I'm scared."
Something comes out of the darkness and snatches mate #1.
Mate #2: "What was that?"
Mate #3: "The monster got someone!"
The something comes out again and snatches mate #3.
Caption: "Don't worry, we're almost through."
The ship exits the other side of the island.
Mate #2: Wipes his head. "Whew."
Caption: "That wasn't so bad, now was it? Besides, we're almost home!"
The Sky turns dark, and the seas turn shoppy.
Mate #2: It's a storm! What should we do, Odysseus?"
Odysseus: "We'll get through this!"
Another sea monster comes out of the water.
Mate #2: gasps. "Could it be?"
The monster strikes at the ship, and it shatters. The monster than grabs Mate #2, and a couple other mates and proceeds to eat them.
Mate #2: "Odysseus, Help us!"
Odysseus swims off.
Scene: The Great Valley at night. It is still the Cold Times, At the hot crack that the Gang told stories at before. the Gang is huddled around the crack to keep warm. They are listening to the Professor's very poor re-telling of the Greek epic, The Odyssey.
Ducky: "So, everyone died?"
Professor: "No, the leader survived. Everyone else dies."
Ducky: "That is a very scary and sad story, Professor. I do not think I want to listen to it anymore, no no no."
Ruby: "I don't want to listen to it anymore either. Listening to it is making me very uneasy."
Littlefoot: "And that story doesn't make any sense anyway. If I was the leader, I wouldn't have let those awful things happen to everyone else."
Cera: "That leader sounds a lot like Pterano. Why did people call him a hero again?"
Petrie: "Hey, don't talk about me Uncle Pterano like that! He good, he really is!"
Littlefoot: "I'm sure Cera didn't mean it, Petrie."
Cera: Trying to change the subeject. "So, someone have a better story?"
Professor: "Well, there is one thing I always wanted to know.
Littlefoot: "What is that, Professor?"
Professor: "How is Chomper allowed here?"
Cera: "Well, he's a nice sharptooth."
Professor: "But how did he get allowed here in the first place? I didn't think the grownups here would have let him in."
Littlefoot: "Well, thats a very long story actually."
Ali: "I've never heard that story!"
Shorty: "Nor have I. I'd like to hear it too!"
Chomper: "It really is a good story! Ruby, would you like to tell it?"
Ruby: "Sure Chomper. I'm good at telling stories, and It'll be fun to tell this one."
Ruby clears her throat and begins.
Ruby: "Grab a rock and gather around everyone. I'm going to tell the Tale... No...The Legend of the Friendly Sharptooth!
Chomper: Chuckles. "Oh, Ruby. You don't have to tell it like that."
Ruby: "I want to, Chomper. It's fun to talk big, so I'm going to talk big now."
Littlefoot: "Go on Ruby. It'll make it fun for us to listen to too!"
Ruby: "ok. It was about 3 Cold Times ago. It was a nice warm day in the Great Valley. Littlefoot and his friends were out playing..."
The scene fades into a flashback as Ruby is talking. From this point. You can't hear her voice anymore.
Scene: The Great Valley, 3 years ago.
The Gang were playing a bowling like game with a bunch of hard pointy treesweets.
Littlefoot; "Ok, Ducky. It's your turn."
Ducky: Tries to push the spiny treesweet, but can't. "It is too big for me to push, it is."
Spike comes up behind Ducky, pushes on her to get her on top of his head, and pushes the treesweet for her. The treesweet rolls over and knocks 3 out of 6 of the other treesweets over.
Petrie: "Good shot, Ducky."
Ducky: "Thank you, but I had a little help!"
Littlefoot: walking over to set the treesweets up again. "Maybe you two could just play together, you make a good team!"
Cera: "Well, it's my turn now!"
Cera pushes a treesweet, but it misses.
Cera: "What? I can't miss, I'm a Threehorn!
Ducky: "It is ok, Cera."
Cera runs over to the treesweets and knocks them all down herself.
Littlefoot: "Cera, that's cheating! Put those back up for Petrie!"
Suddenly, Ruby comes walking out up to the Gang holding one of the treesweets Cera knocked down. Everyone takes a step back.
Ruby: "Hello my friends, My friends hello!"
-Commercial break-
Littlefoot: "Friends?"
Ruby: "That's what I just said Littlefoot! That is your name, isn't it?"
Littlefoot: "Yes that's my name. Uh, what is your name?"
Ruby: "I'm Ruby..." Pointing to the other characters as she says their names. "...And your Cera, your Ducky and spike, and your Petrie, right?"
Cera: "yeah, that is our names, but..."
Littlefoot: "...But how do you know our names? We've never seen you before."
Ruby: "It's true. I have never seen any of you before, but I have someone here with me who HAS seen you all before!" Ruby turns around and motions. "Ok, you can come out now!"
Chomper: Walks out from the behind the bush and waves. "Um, hi guys!"
The Whole Gang's faces light up and they all say "Chomper!" They run over to him.
Littlefoot: "We haven't seen you in a long time Chomper. I didn't think we'd ever see you again!"
Chomper: "It feels so good to see my friends again!"
Ducky: "It is so nice to see you again, Chomper, it is, it is!"
Petrie: "There one sharptooth me want to see!"
Chomper: "Thanks everyone. It's so nice to see you all again too!"
Cera: "So, What did you come here for?"
Chomper: "To be safe!"
Ruby: "Chomper's parants wanted me to take Chomper to the Great Valley so he'd be safe from Redcalw."
Ducky: "Who is Redclaw?"
Chomper: "He's a new Sharptooth that has moved into the Mysterious Beyond. He's the biggest, meanest Sharptooth I have ever seen!
Ruby: "Chomper's parents thought they couldn't keep Chomper safe anymore, so they decided to send him here."
Chomper: "So, can I stay here?"
Littlefoot: "Oh, sure Chom..."
Cera: Interupting. "No he can't!"
Ruby: "Why not?"
Cera: "He's a sharptooth. Sharpteeth have never been welcome in the Great Valley!"
Littlefoot: "But Chomper is different!"
Cera: "Tell that to the grownups!"
Chomper: "Grownups?" He takes a step back, looking very worried.
Cera: "Yeah, our grownups live here too!"
Chomper: "I don't want to see them!"
Littlefoot: "Why not, Chomper? They're nice."
Chomper: "No their not!" He takes a deep breath and continues. "My parents said Grownup Flatteeth are mean. They told me to stay away from them. They'd kill a sharptooth if they ever had the chance, even a little one like me!"
Littlefoot: "They wouldn't kill you Chomper."
Cera: "Maybe they would, How do you know they wouldn't Littlefoot? Did you ever ask them that?"
Littlefoot: "Well, no. But I'm sure they wouldn't!"
Cera: "I'm not so sure of that."
Littlefoot: Turning to Chomper. "Chomper, you stay here with Ruby, I'll go ask my Grandpa about this."
Ducky: "We will stay with Chomper too, Littlefoot."
Littlefoot: "Ok, then bye everyone!" He runs off.
Scene: The Watering Hole.
Grandpa Longneck is at a nearby tree, eating treestars.
Littlefoot: "Hey Grandpa."
Grandpa Longneck: "Oh, hello Littlefoot. Are you hungry?"
Littlefoot: "No, I just wanted to talk about something."
Grandpa Longneck: "What is it Littlefoot? you can talk to me about anything."
Littlefoot: "What do you do when Sharpteeth are in the Great Valley?"
Grandpa Longneck: "We drive them out, Littlefoot. I thought you knew that."
Littlefoot: "What if it was a nice and friendly Sharptooth?"
Grandpa Longneck: "There aren't any friendly sharpteeth. At least not anymore."
Littlefoot: "What do you mean?"
Grandpa Longneck: Laughs. "Oh nothing. Just a story passed down to us Longnecks. If you want, I'll tell it to you someday, Littlefoot."
Littlefoot: "Maybe." He thinks for a minute. "Well, What if it was a little sharptooth? A little baby one?"
Grandpa Longneck: "I don't know, We've never had a little one here before. Mr. Threehorn would probably try to kill it."
Littlefoot: "Kill a little hatcling!"
Grandpa Longneck: Sighs. "You know Mr. Threehorn. I would probably just try to take it out of here."
Littlefoot: "You would?"
Grandpa Longneck: "Of course, Littlefoot. I wouldn't have the heart to kill a hatchling, even a sharptooth one. I would just make sure it wasn't in the Great Valley, so you would be safe."
Littlefoot: "Um, that's good to know, Grandpa!"
Grandpa Longneck: "Is there anything else you would like to talk about?"
Littlefoot: "No, that's all I wanted to know. Bye, I'll see you later!" He starts running off.
Grandpa Longneck: "Ok. Be safe, Littlefoot." He returns to eating.
Scene: The Great Valley.
The Gang, Ruby and Chomper are where they were when Littlefoot left.
Ruby: "So we were about to make it into the Great Valley, when Redclaw spotted us!"
Ducky: "Oh no!"
Cera: "What happened?"
Ruby: "Redclaw gave chase. We ran for awhile. We thought we were almost away, when we came to a dead end!"
Petrie: "ooh, that sound scary!"
Ruby: "Oh, it was scary, petrie.
Cera: "So, what did you do?"
Ruby: "Well, Redclaw walked up to us."
Chomper: "He looked really hungry!"
Ruby: "We thought we were done for, when just then..."
The ground shakes. Mr. Threehorn comes walking up.
Mr. Threehorn: "Cera! It's time to eat." He sees Chomper. "A Sharptooth? In the Great Valley? Run kids, I'll take care of him!"
Chomper: starts walking back. "AAH!"
Cera: "Dad! No!"
: "I said run Cera!"
Chomper starts running, and Mr. Threehorn starts charging for him.
-Commercial Break-
Scene: The Great Valley.
Littlefoot is heading back to where he left Chomper and the Gang. The ground starts shaking.
Littlefoot: "What was that?"
He hears Chomper's yells.
Littlefoot: "Chomper!" He runs off towards Chomper."
Scene: The Gang, Mr. Threehorn, and Chomper. Mr. Threehorn is chasing Chomper, and The Gang is following him. Mr. Threehorn lets out a loud Flattooth yell, which alerts other grownups of the sharptooth.
Ducky: "Topsy is going to get Chomper, no no no!"
Cera: "Come on. If I know my dad, Chomper will need a lot of help!"
Chomper runs under a log suspended by two other logs. Mr. Threehorn can't get past it. Ducky's Mom, Petrie's Mom, and other Grownups run up to Mr. Threehorn.
Ducky's Mom: "Whats going on?"
Mr. Threehorn: "A Sharptooth is in the Great Valley!"
Petrie's Mom: "Where?"
: "It just ran under this log here."
Petrie's Mom: "I'll keep an eye on it!" She takes off into the air.
Mr. Threehorn: "Ok, We'll find a way around.
Chomper: Still running. "Whew. That was close!"
Chomper hears a loud flyer call. He looks up, and sees Petries' Mom flying overhead. She swoops down at him, but he dodges. Chomper runs some more, and is confronted by another nameless grownup.
Chomper: "NO!" He darts off to the side.
Chomper keeps running, until he makes it to a cliff face. He turns around, and see's Mr. Threehorn walking up to him.
Mr. Threehorn: "Let's kill it!"
Chomper: "Ahh!" He closes his eyes and covers his face.
Petrie's Mom: "Do we really have to kill it? It's so young and little."
Mr. Threehorn: "It's the only way!" He takes a step towards Chomper.
The Gang, minus Littlefoot, come running in on the scene.
Cera: Runs over in front of Chomper to protect him. "I won't let you kill him, Dad!"
Mr. Threehorn: "Cera..."
Cera: "I'm not moving!
The rest of the Gang come over to protect Chomper.
Ducky: "He is a friendly sharptooth!"
Ruby: "Yeah, He'd never hurt anyone!"
Ducky's Mom: "A friendly Sharptooth? I've never heard of such a thing."
Mr. Threehorn: "Humph! Thats because there isn't such a thing!"
Grandpa Longneck: comes running up. "What is going on, everyone?"
Mr. Threehorn: "This sharptooth here is about to eat the kids!"
Petrie: "No he not!"
Ducky: "We keep trying to tell you. He is a nice sharptooth!"
Mr. Threehorn: "Move away kids. We have to do this!"
Cera: "NO!"
Mr. Threehorn walks up and starts trying to push the kids out of the way.
Littlefoot: Comes running up. "Everyone! Wait!" He rams his head into Mr. Threehorn's face.
Mr. Threehorn: "What are you trying to do?"
Littlefoot: Getting up off the ground. "He's nice. He really is. You have to believe me!"
Grandpa Longneck: "Littlefoot..."
Littlefoot: "No, Grandpa! Let me do this!" He turns to where Chomper should be. "Chomper, come out and show everyone how nice you are!"
Chomper doesn't come out.
Ruby: "What's going on?"
The Gang turn around, and see Chomper is gone.
Cera: "Littlefoot, Chomper is gone!"
Littlefoot: "What? Where did he go?"
Mr. Threehorn: "I don't know, but we need to be on the lookout for it! If it weren't for you kids, I could have had him!"
Grandpa Longneck: "Now Topsy, the important thing right now is the kids safety." He turns to the kids. "Go back to your nests, it isn't safe here!"
Mr. Threehorn and the rest of the grownups walk off.
The sky turns dark, and a bolt of lighting shoots across the sky. Rain starts to fall.
The gang walks up to Littlefoot.
Cera: "Sky water? At a time like this?"
Petrie: "Well, what we do?"
Littlefoot: "I'm really worried for Chomper. It isn't safe out here in sky water and fire this bad! Plus everyone is looking for him, and I don't know what they'll do to him when they find him. I'm going to go look for him!" He runs off.
Ducky: "Good luck Littlefoot!"
Scene fades to present.
Ruby: "So, the brave longneck set off in search of his little sharptoothed friend."
Professor: "And what happened next?"
Ruby: "You know what, It's getting really late.
Littlefoot: "I told you this story was a long one."
Cera: "We should be going to sleep now."
Professor: "But...but what about the Story? I want to hear what happens!"
Ruby: laughing. "Well, We can have another story telling night tomarrow night. I'll finish the story then."
Professor: "Well...Ok." He falls on the moss he was sitting on, and goes to sleep.
Ali: "It's really exciting so far!"
Shorty; "Yeah, I never realized how bad Chomper is treated sometimes because he's a sharptooh."
Littlefoot: "It's been hard sometimes, but we've come through it. We're best friends after all!"
Chomper: "Yeah!"
The Professor starts to snore.
Chomper: "Wow, the Professor sure is making some sleep rumbles!"
Ruby: "Maybe we can say something to help us go to sleep?"
Chomper: "I know! My parents would count dinosaurs with me to help me go to sleep."
Littlefoot: "Really?"
Chomper: "Yeah!" He starts counting. "1 dinosaur, 2 dinosaurs, 3 dinosaurs..." He's starting to look sleepy. "...4 dinosaurs, 5 dinosaurs..." he licks his lips. "...6 dinosaurs..." He bites at the air. "...7 dinosaurs..." He lays his head down and goes to sleep.
Everyone else takes a step back in unison. Scene fades out.
