After the news of Dinah and Alfred's engagement was announced to the rest of the herd, Topsy smiled and walked over to them.
"You better look after her, you hear?" Topsy asked.
Dinah chuckled.
"Oh, Grandpa; of course we'll look after each other," Dinah responded.
"Relax, I was just teasing you," Topsy said with a chuckle.
Dinah and Alfred laughed. Dinah joined in the laughter as well.
"Even in your old age; you still manage to crack me up," Diana stated.
"Who're you calling old?" Topsy sneered.
The herd laughed after hearing Topsy's remark.
"At least your sense of humor isn't failing you at your age," Grandpa replied.
"This coming from the longneck who's over a hundred years old," Topsy retorted while chuckling.
Grandpa playfully stuck his tongue out at Topsy. A chuckle was heard from the threehorn.
"You're such a child," Topsy sneered.
Grandpa chuckled.
"Look who's talking," Grandpa retorted.
Moments later, Otto walked over to Grandpa. He tried to make amends with him.
"I know you're still angry at me; and I don't blame you," Otto said.
"As you shouldn't; I still don't forgive you for your childish and petty behavior the other day," Grandpa responded.
Otto lowered his head and walked away. Soon enough, Jenna spoke up.
"Jeez, Dad; all Otto wants is your forgiveness," Jenna replied.
Grandpa let a growl escape his throat.
"Well, he's not getting any forgiveness until he treats me with more respect; just because our age difference is four years; and he's older, doesn't mean he should be disrespectful," Grandpa snarled.
"Forgive and forget," Jenna added.
"Ohhhhhhh; I am so sick of that saying; I've been hearing it ever since I was a youngster; as Mother always said; "forgive and forget, Kenneth", how can I forget how Otto treated me the other day; even though I was making a statement," Grandpa ranted on.
The herd has never seen him so angry; even Topsy was shocked by his temper. There was nothing they could do that could calm him down; not even his own wife. By the time Grandpa was finished ranting, he was shaking with fury; and for the first time in his life, the look in his eyes was cold as ice; not the usual warm smile. His blood was almost to a boiling point; that was when he decided to go back to his nest; not without knocking down a few trees along the way.
"Dad!" Jenna called out, but he ignored her.
"I think we should leave him alone," Grandma told her.
Jenna sighed.
"It's all my fault," Jenna claimed.
"No it isn't; your dad was just holding in his emotions about the confrontation he had with Otto the other day; it's all coming out now," Grandma explained.
Jenna sighed.
She sure hoped that her dad's mood will be better soon.
A/N: When Grandpa Longneck loses his temper, it's rare. Do not get this guy mad; it may be the last thing you'll ever think of doing. Even the most chilled out person can lose their temper.
