Chapter 1: The Tree-sweet tree
It's been a month since Mario and his friends helped Littlefoot and the Long-necks and kingdom travelers save the dinosaur world from the falling sun and found Littlefoot's long lost father. So now the gang was looking at the pink tree.
(Mario) So this tree here is known as the Tree-sweet tree. Once every month, the pink flowers bloom on this tree and the berries on it change from red to pink. Making them the best tasting for the dinosaurs of this valley. And the berries taste great for me and my friends.
(Luigi) Well what are we waiting for?
(Yoshi) Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi. (Let's get some of those berries.)
(Peach) Hold on. No. We can't do that. There's also a rule for this tree.
(Mario) Everyone has to wait until Nibbling Day. Then we all gather up here and we each get a flower and berry.
(Petrie) Oh they look ready to me. Me get one right now.
(Mario) I wouldn't do that if I were you. Besides, Topps is the one guarding the tree.
(Petrie) Nonsense.
Petrie then flew up to the top of the tree and grab a pink berry. But before he could...
(?) WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!
Hearing that voice made Petrie fly out of control until he landed on Yoshi's head. And then everyone saw Topps in front of them.
(Mario) I told you he was guarding this place.
(Topps) Well you're lucky Mario, that you knew the rules about this tree.
(Mario) Well you're lucky that you chose to guard the Tree-sweet tree.
(Topps) I did my job to guard it for a reason. Everyone is waiting for a taste of those berries and flowers. And I don't want anybody upset when Nibbling Day comes. So if anything happens to those tree-sweets, I'll know it! Sense it's your first time here, let me tell you some other rules. There will be no wandering off into The Mysterious Beyond, you will follow any orders from me or the Long-necks, and don't EVER lead my daughter into any trouble like Mario does! Understand?!
(Luigi) Y-yes sir.
The moment Topps stomped away, Cera came by with another young Long-neck. It was a Brown with a green tint Brachiosaurus.
(Cera) Ha. My dad caught you so good Petrie. Looks like you'll have to wait until Nibbling Day after all.
(Mario) Hang on Cera. Why's Rhett with you?
(Rhett) Because Mario, I wanted to see if I'll get the first flower and berry this time.
(Littlefoot) But that's a problem Rhett. Cera always gets the first ones.
(Cera) That's right. Because I was the one who first found the Tree-sweet tree before you guys.
(Ducky) That is not how I remember it. No, no, no.
(Flashback)
It was a warm sunny day today. The gang were making their way across the valley until they spotted something up ahead.
(Peach) Whoa. Look at that!
It was a pink tree filled with flowers and berries. The gang ran to it just as Rhett came by. But when he tried to grab a flower and berry, he couldn't reach them. Cera then leaped onto his back, took the flower and berry he tried to get and ate them.
(End of flashback)
(Cera) Okay. But when did we first find it?
(Mario) Just about 2 days before we hatched Chomper.
(Cera) Alright. Roy should have had the first pink berry and flower. Only he was too...little.
(Rhett) Hold on. What did you say?
(Cera) Well, you weren't tall enough to reach the first pink berry and flower. So you were too little.
(Rhett) I'm not that little. Just look at Littlefoot. He's the same size as me.
(Littlefoot) Well, I did grow a couple pounds. I might be a little bigger than you.
(Rhett) But what about Ducky, Petrie, and Tickles. They're the smallest ones in your group.
(Tickles) We don't mind being small.
(Cera) Well, we're gonna head back to the castle. So long...Little Rhett.
As the gang walked away from the Tree-sweet tree, Rhett stood there in anger and upset.
(Rhett) I'll show them. I'll prove that I'm bigger.
