written 11/12/11
As the seven longnecks started their decent into the Great Valley of Longnecks. Everyone in the group except Littlefoot and Ali went off to take a nap after their very arduous journey. The two adolscents went off for a drink from the clear blue water in the middle of the valley. On their way there they ran into Littlefoot's foster brother, Shorty. "Hey Shorty how you been?" asked Littlefoot. "Not bad, how about you?" replied the green Braciosaurous. "Outstanding." said Littlefoot. "Who's that beside you?" inquired Shorty. "Oh where are my manners, this is my girlfriend Ali, Ali this is my foster brother Shorty." said Littlefoot. "Nice to meet you, Ali." said Shorty. "Nice to meet you too." replied Ali. "Hey Shorty, where's dad i want him to meet Ali as well." asked Littlefoot. "Well I don't really know, last time I saw him he was on top of the hill watching over the valley." answered Shorty. "Ok thanks Shorty." said Littlefoot. "No problem." replied Shorty and with that he went off to get some treestars for lunch. Littlefoot and Ali proceeded over to the watering hole and took a long drink of water. "Littlefoot you have a very nice foster brother." said Ali. "Yeah, but he can get a bit testy at times." replied Littlefoot. "Ali, I want you to meet my father." said Littlefoot. "Ok, can I get my mother first?" asked Ali. "Of course love." replied Littlefoot. So the two adoscent longneck lovers walked back to where Littlefoot's grandparents and Ali's mother were resting. Ali nudged her mother awake. "What is it dear?" she asked sleepily. "Mother Littlefoot wanted us to meet his father." Ali replied. "Okay but can I get five or ten more minutes of sleep?" her mother requested. "Alright we'll come back and get you up in ten minutes we're gonna go get some treestars." said Ali. "Sounds great." replied her mother. They walked over to a tree and Littlefoot and Ali started eating some treestars. "Do you think your dad will like me?" asked Ali. Littlefoot faced his girlfriend, looked straight at her calmly. "Of course, what's there not to like about you? Wait, don't bother answering that question cause I've got the answer and it's nothing." he said. Ali looked back at him and licked his cheek. "You know exactly what to say at exactly the right time to make me feel better, thank you." Littlefoot looked over and licked her cheek. "I do that for you because I love you." he said. Ten minutes later as planned they went to wake up Ali's mother. "Mother." said Ali nudging her mother awake. "Yes my daughter." replied her mother. "It's time to meet Littlefoot's Father." said Ali. "Alright." she said. She got up off the ground and proceeded after Littlefoot and Ali to meet Littlefoot's Father. They were just about to start searching for him and then as if on cue Littlefoot's Father appeared before them. "Hello son, it's great to see you!" he said. "It's great to see you too dad. Littlefoot replied. Bron looked down at his son then over to Ali and her Mother. "Who are these two lovely ladies?" he asked. "Oh sorry Dad. This is my girlfriend Ali and this is her mother." Littlefoot replied proudly. "Nice to meet you Ali, I'm Bron." said Littlefoot's Father. "It's very nice to meet you Bron." said Ali. "This must be your Mother." said Bron looking from Ali to the taller opaque colored Aptosaurus. "Yes." replied Ali. "What's your name?" asked Bron. "Jane." replied Ali's Mother. "Nice to meet you Jane." said Bron. "Nice to meet you too Bron." replied Jane. Then Bron looked back down at Ali. "Has my son been treating you nicely." he asked. Littlefoot flinched slightly. "But of course sir." Ali replied. Then Bron asked her a question she did not expect. "Have you been keeping him out of trouble?" Ali looked at Littlefoot and he looked right back at her. "Definately." she replied. "Good." said Bron. Then he bent down and whispered to his son, 'your very lucky to have had landed such a great girl." "I know." said Littlefoot. Then Bron brought his head back up to face Jane. "Can we go for a walk so that I can find out more about the relationship between my son and your daughter?" he requested. "Of course we can." Jane replied. Bron winked at his son and left with Ali's mother. The longneck adolescents were left alone once again.
