Chapter 11

Peace At Last


The Adults began racing towards the mountain hoping that they could sto Parsley a;d completely unaware of the surprise that awaited them.

"I hope we're not to late." Said Sura in concern.

"Don't worry we'll get there in time." Reassured Arial, "And at least we've gotten rid of Rolf."

As they neared the mountain, the adults could make out a large group of figures approaching. As they drew nearer Arial gasped as they saw Marina with Juno, Hollow and Bubbles hopping alongside her, and taking up the rear were five very familiar looking Leaf Eaters Alongside a Meat Eater And an All Eater.

"My goodness!" Exclaimed Grandpa Longneck in shock, "They're alive and- And I can see Littlefoot and his friends with them."

"They must've went to go and save Juno." Sura Cried out in realisation before sighing and smiling, "Why am I not in the least bit surprised?"

Littlefoot and the others looked and cheered in delight as they saw their parents and instantly ran up to them.

The young Longneck ran towards his Grandparents who imediatly nuzzled him on either side while wearing looks of pride.

"Oh Littlefoot, thank goodness!" Exclaimed Littlefoot's Grandpa.

"You've got a lot of explaining to do young lady." Stated Topsy as his daughter nuzzled his leg, "We did tell you kids not to wander off?"

"I'm sorry Daddy." Apologised Cera, "But we just had to do something, if we didn't everyone would've died."

The young Threehorn was then nuzzled by her Dad and Stepmom.

Sura simply grabbed Ducky and hugged her tightly, she then nuzzled Ducky which made her giggle.

"I'm so proud of you dear." Said Sura in an affectionate voice, "You helped save your friend."

"Thank you Mamma." Replied Ducky Who began blushing.

"You should be very proud of your children Sura." Stated Marina, "They were so brave."

Sura And Ruphus nuzzled Ducky before kneeling down and nuzzling Spike Who babbled in delight

"I'm proud of you too Petrie." Stated Arial as she hugged her son tightly.

"Yeah, you kids did a great job." Remarked Topsy proudly, "We've managed to get rid of Rolf, but... hay wait a minute, where's Parsley?"

"He... crashed into a wall in the cave." Explained Marina, "The wall collapsed and Parsley fell through and off the cliff."

The other adults flinched at that part, it sounded like a painful drop and they knew that Parsley wouldn't survive.

Everyone jumped up in fright as a loud bang echoed through the area, they turned and their eyes widened as Smoking Mountain rumbled And spewed large smoke clouds, Sky Water spilled down the Mountain and slowly began making its way towards the group.

"Come on we'd better get out of here and back home." Suggested Mr Thicknose, "If That Fire Water catches up with us we'll be doomed."

"Then what are we all standing around here for let's go home." Juno cried out in alarm.

Nobody needed telling twice. Everyone instantly began running back towards their home, towards the Great Valley.


A few days later the gang were now relaxing in the watering hole alongside Juno, Hollow and Bubbles, Hollow and Bubbbles were relaxing on their backs and the Male Swimmer turned to his younger sister.

"Hay Hollow." Bubbles began.

"Yes?" Asked Hollow in curiosity.

"I-I'm sorry about what I said before, you know about wishing you never hatched." Apologised Bubbles.

"It's ok Bubbles." Answered Hollow, "I forgive you, you were just mad and confused."

"I know." Stated Bubbles, "Dad misled me this whole time, I'm also sorry for all the mean stuff I said, and for attacking you and Marina."

"All we can do about that is to put it behind us." Said Littlefoot as he and the others approached, "You were willing to help when you realised the truth."

"And now we can all be friends." Declared Chomper.

"And look to the future." Said Marina as she and Juno walked up, "And no matter what Bubbles I'll always love you."

Bubbles ran up to Marina nd was instantly nuzzled.

"Hay where's Ducky?" Asked Cera curiously.

Everyone looked around and noticed that the young Swimmer was no longer there.

"Hope she hasn't gone too far." Commented Ruby in concern.

"Don't worry I think I know exactly where she's gone." Stated Littlefoot.

"Ohhh that good." Sighed Petrie in relief before looking confused, "Where that be?"

"Where she always goes when she wants to be alone." Explained Littlefoot, "Thundering Falls."


And indeed Ducky without anyone noticing had decided to relax and made her way over to one of her favourite spots, Thundering Falls.

The Young Swimmer gently stepped into the water and swam over to the water fall where she lay back against a small rock.

"Ahhh this is so relaxing, it is, it is." Commented Ducky before yawning and stretching, "I... could just fall asleep here, Yep! Yep! Yep!"

The young girl gently closed her eyes and after a few minutes drifted off to sleep.


After a few minutes Ducky opened her eyes and smiled to herself, she then looked confused as she could no longer hear the sound of flowing water.

"Hmmm this is unusual?" Stated the Swimmer as she began to view her surroundings.

One Thing became very apparent to Ducky, she wasn't in the Great Valley anymore, she was now in a large lake which was next to a large woodland area that she recognised only too well, it was the place her family and the rest of the Swimmer herd had lived in during the journey to the Great Valley. Ducky smiled fondly at this.

"Ducky." Cried an all too familiar voice from behind.

Ducky was jolted out of her thoughts and gasped in shock, she then turned and her eyes widened in delight at the two Swimmers standing before her.

It was Judy and Nitha, they were smiling at her and there were no signs of cuts or bruises on them.

"Judy." Cried Ducky in shock, "It is so great to see you."

The two ran up to each other and hugged. A worrying thought then entered Ducky's mind, she had had these sleep stories before and they always ended with Rolf coming in and murdering Judy and Nitha right in front of her.

"Where is Rolf?" Asked Ducky in a slightly nervous voice.

"You don't have to worry about him anymore Ducky." Explained Nitha, "That disgusting monster is dead, and we no longer have to live in fear."

"I know." Replied Ducky, "And I managed-ed to save my friends Juno, Hollow and Bubbles and their Mommy from Parsley."

Ducky smiled as she reflected on this, after getting back to the Valley she felt proud in the knowledge that she had managed to save her Swimmer friends and their mom from an abusive parent unlike Judy and Nitha who'd tragically been slaughtered.

"I'm so proud of you Ducky." Commented Judy, "You've managed to make great new friends and remembered what I always taught you, friendship is important, I may have died, but being friends with you was the happiest time of my life."

"You... were my best friend too." Said Ducky While sniffling, "And I will never forget you, I will not, I will not."

"And just remember it was never your fault what happened to us." Explained Nitha, "You made us feel happy and we'll always be with you in your heart."

Suddenly Judy and Nitha faded away and everything dissolved into darkness around Ducky.

"Goodbye Judy and Nitha." Said Ducky, "I shall never forget you.

"Ducky." A familiar voice called out, "Ducky dear wake up."


Ducky began to slowly stir from her sleep as she felt someone nuzzling her and could hear the sound of Thundering Falls once again. The young Swimmer opened her eyes and saw Sura and Ruphus smiling down at her, Spike along with Littlefoot and the others were just behind them.

"Were you having a nice sleep story?" Asked Sura, "You were smiling when we found you."

"Oh I was Mamma, I was, I was." Declared Ducky in delight, "I saw Judy and Nitha but it was a nice one, Rolf did not show up."

This statement surprised Sura, on all previous occasions of Ducky having a sleep story about Judy and Nitha that monster would always show up and kill them.

"Oh I'm so glad to hear that." Replied the Swimmer, "You know I think you've finnaly managed to overcome that grief and we're both very proud of you."

"Hay Ducky wanna come and play Stop The Seed?" Asked Juno.

"You can Count me in, oh yes you can." Declared Ducky as she leapt up and ran to join her friends, "Yep! Yep! Yep!"

Sura And Ruphus stood and watched while smiling as Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper, Ruby, Juno, Hollow and Bubbles ran off to play while laughing in delight.

"I don't think I've ever seen Ducky so happy in a long time." Stated Sura as she wiped tears of joy from her eyes.

"Me neither." Agreed Ruphus, "It's a wonderful sight."


Meanwhile far away from the Great Valley in a large woodland area an ominous red cloud flew down from the sky and morphed into Rolf who silently glided across the area. The Great Earthshake had transformed it, trees were lying on the ground and their were jagged cracks in the ground.

Rolf stopped as he came across the dried up riverbed, now filled with rocks, he could see two old skeletons lying on the ground, one was an adult Swimmer and the other was a young child Swimmer, The young one had a small hole at the centre of the ribcage which also had cracks in the bones, the adults ribcage looked as though it was falling apart

Rolf flew on and glided across the dead Forrest before approaching the old home where his family lived. on the riverbed near where the nest used to be was another rotting adult Swimmer skeleton with a massive hole in its ribcage too.

"Perfect!" Exclaimed Rolf in triumph.

The Spirit dived down towards the corpse. After a few minutes there was a sinister glowing red light which lit up the entire area, after a few minutes it died down and Rolf's spirit was gone and where the corpse once lay now stood a large Swimmer who began walking allowing himself to be illuminated in the light of the Night Circle.

It was Rolf, as he continued walking the Swimmer looked at himself and grinned, he was fully solid and walking, there was one trick that evil spirits could perform, if they were able to find their own bodies they could fully revive themselves back into their living forms.

"Now the real game begins." Declared Rolf before laughing wickedly.

The large Swimmer marched away while laughing wickedly, he was going to enjoy his revenge.


(AN) well that's it, that's the last chapter of The Forgotten Friend, I hope you've all enjoyed and remember to Read And Review.

Credit and thanks once again goes to DiddyKF1 for allowing me to use Judy, Nitha and Rolf and thanks to Narwhalpuppy, DiddyKF1, Owlscantread, Storytraveler2000 And Hadiginga for favouriting and reviewing.
