Chapter 2: The unexpected herd

Cera was running around and saw a tree up ahead as she got ready to charge at it.

(Cera) GERRR! GERRRRRR!

Cera ran to the tree and knocked down the tree-stars on it. She smiled at her work as Ducky and Petrie came.

(Ducky) Cera you are a good green food geter. You are.

(Cera) Let's eat.

They were about to get some food until the tree-stars started to move by themselves. It was like the tree-stars were alive and it scared them. But then Spike popped his head out as he was eating the tree-stars.

(All) Spike.

That got them into a laugher.

(Cera) Hey. Spike's here. But where's Littlefoot?

Littlefoot was looking at a dragonfly sitting on a flower.

(Littlefoot) Hi. I'm Littlefoot. What's your name?

The dragonfly ignored him and flew away.

(Littlefoot) Hey. Come back.

Littlefoot started to chase the dragonfly as it flew to The Great Wall. Littlefoot then came to a stop when he saw Mario and the others come out of a portal and onto the ledge. They were so close to the ledge they almost fell off but they fell backwards instead.

(Littlefoot) Guys.

(Mario) Hey Littlefoot.

(Littlefoot) Are you all ok?

(Mario) I guess so.

(Luigi) At least we fell backwards instead of forwards.

(Littlefoot) Still afraid of heights?

(Luigi) Yeah.

(Wario) Look

Wario was pointing to a herd of Long-necks that was coming this way.

(Littlefoot) Whoa. Who are they?

(?) Who's who Littlefoot?

They all turned around and Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike came their way.

(Ducky) Hello Guys. Where are the rest?

(Peach) They couldn't make it this time. But they still say hello.

(Ducky) That is good. Yep yep yep.

(Cera) Say. Were you guys talking about those Long-necks down there?

(Littlefoot) Yeah. But where did they come from?

(Toad) Let's tell your grandparents about them.

So they went to find Grandma and Grandpa Longneck at the Thundering Falls. It's been days since it got blacked off by a meteor and made the valley get dry and start a fire. The gang found the 2 elder Long-necks grabbing a drink from the falls.

(Peach) Sir. Maadem.

(Grandpa Longneck) Well well. If it isn't Mario and the rest.

(Grandma Longneck) Why you guys. Where's the rest?

(Luigi) They couldn't make it today. But they still say hello.

(Grandpa Longneck) Well that's really nice of them. Do tell them that we say hello as well when you get home.

(Yoshi) Yoshi (We will.)

(Littlefoot) Grandma. Grandpa. There's a herd of Long-necks coming this way.

(Grandpa Longneck) Yes. We saw them too.

Grandma Longneck then started licking Littlefoot's face.

(Littlefoot) Grandma. Why are you washing my face? It's only going to get dirty again.

(Grandma Longneck) Because, We're going to greet our guests Littlefoot. You want to look nice. Don't you?

(Littlefoot) I guess. But who are they? And where do they come from?

(Grandpa Longneck They're our cousins Littlefoot. A migreatting herd.

(Littlefoot) Migreatting?

(Grandma Longneck) It means they travel and live in different places.

(Littlefoot) You mean instead of living in one place like us?

(Grandpa Longneck) That's right.

(Littlefoot) I wouldn't like that. I like living in The Great Valley.

(Grandpa Longneck) Yes. We do too.

(Mario) That's good. Because anywhere you go. we'll go with you.

(Grandpa Longneck) Are you still keeping your promise to Littlefoot?

(Daisy) We sure are.

(Grandpa Longneck) Well, why don't we go and see our guests now.

(Littlefoot) Oh boy. Hey, you think they have kids?

(Grandma Longneck) I'm sure they do.

Just then, Grandpa Longneck felt weak and laid his neck on a wall and then got back up.

(Grandpa Longneck) Strange. Suddenly I felt so tired.

(Grandma Longneck) Maybe we should stay here.

(Grandpa Longneck) Oh nonsense. I'm feeling better already. Littlefoot, why don't you lead the way?

(Littlefoot) Okay then. Everyone follows me.

As they went to greet the Long-neck herd, Grandma Longneck looked at Grandpa nevesly.

(Grandpa Longneck) I'm fine Grandma. Really.

But something about him felt different. What was it?

Everyone in The Great Valley came to greet the herd of Long-necks as Grandma Longneck came face to face with their leader.

(Grandma Longneck) Welcome to our valley Old One.

(Old One) Thank you my cousin. Now tell me. How is your climent?

(Grandma Longneck) Our climent? Why is it a good Old One?

(Old One) And your land. Has it changed?

(Cera) Many days ago a flying rock blocked our main waterfall and got all the plants dry which started a big fire.

(Littlefoot) Cera!

(Cera) Oops!

(Old One) Don't worry my dear. That was a slip of the mouth. It happens all the time.

(Cera) Thank you Old One.

(Old One) However, that was a change that was able to be stopped. My herd as romed far and wide and everywhere things are changing.

That got all The Great Valley dinosaurs and even the others in a shock state.

(Grandma Longneck) Old One. Are you saying that these changes will happen here too?

(Old One) I don't know. For what I do know. Our land was just like yours. Then, water fell from the sky for weeks on end. Our land got all wet and soggy. Strange creatures began to make their home on what was once our dry land. Other creatures moved into the trees that were our sores of food. The one beautiful land we have migrated across for many years had become "The Land Of Mists". We had no chores but to leave.

(Grandpa Longneck) Does that mean you'll be staying with us Old One?

(Old One) We don't stay in one place. However, you and the other Great Valley Long-necks may join us when we leave. After all, there is safety in numbers.

As the Old One led the herd into the valley, Littlefoot looked at his grandparents.

(Littlefoot) Grandpa. We're not going to migreat are we?

(Grandpa Longneck) Of course not my little one. The Great Valley is our home.

(Ducky) Oh guys. I am so glad you are not leaving. The Great Valley will never change. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

(Petrie) Me glad you're not leaving too. Me miss you the whole bunch.

(Ducky) I will miss you too. Yep yep yep. I will. I will.

Spike started liking Toadette''s face which tickled him.

(Mario) Does that mean you'll miss us to Spike?

Spike nodded.

(Daisy) What about you Cera? You'll miss us right?

Cera hesitated. She knew that she'll miss them. But she was too proud to admit it.

(Cera) Well. Maybe I would. Maybe I wouldn't. I'm not telling.

(Ducky) Why are you not telling Cera? Is it a secret?

(Cera) Well, If you really want to know, you'll have to catch me first.

Cera then ran away.

(Waluigi) Hey. Come back.

(Petrie) Me catch you Cera.

With that, the gang started to chase Cera.
