Chapter 2: I wish I had a friend
5 years have passed since Littlefoot hatched from his egg. He and his mother and grandparents still wandered the wilderness. No matter where they went or looked, all they could find was dead trees and they had to eat sticks to stay alive.
(Littlefoot) Mother. Is this all we have to eat?
(Mother longneck) Oh, I'm sorry my dear Littlefoot. The land has been changing. That is why we must walk as far as we can each day until we reach The Great Valley.
Littlefoot was upset but at least something was better than nothing.
(Mother longneck) Littlefoot! Quickly, come here. Look, up there. A treestar. It's very special.
She grabbed it and placed it on Littlefoot's back. He started blowing on it and then Playing with it.
(Littlefoot) :whispering: A treestar.
(Mother longneck) It is very special. Where we are going, you will find more of these leaves. The Great Valley is full of green food like this. More you could ever eat. And more fresh, cool water you could ever drink. It is a beautiful place where we can live happily with many of our kind.
(Littlefoot) When will we get there?
(Mother longneck) The Bright Circle must pass us many times, and we must follow it to each day it touches the ground.
(Littlefoot) Have you ever been to The Great Valley?
That got his mother to stop and turn her head to him.
(Mother longneck) No
(Littlefoot) Then how do you know it's really there?
(Mother longneck) Somethings you see with your eyes and others you see with your heart.
Littlefoot didn't understand what his mother was talking about. But he took his mind off it when he heard the sound of laughing and went through a bush to see where it's coming from.
(Mother longneck) Littlefoot. Don't wonder too far.
But he didn't listen as he got to the other side of the bush and locked his head out of it. Littlefoot then saw a yellow female three-horn at his age and she was playing with someone that Littlefoot assumed was her father. She then saw a bug come by and charged at it. She then hits a rock as the bug moved away from her and the rock smashed into peaces. Then she charged at it again and broke another rock. She then hitted another rock but this on was stronger then the others.
(Littlefoot) Hey!
She didn't notice Littlefoot's voice as she got ready to attack the bug until it squirted a purple substance on her and flew away. Littlefoot couldn't help it but laughed at her. She then heard him and got mad.
(Three-horn girl) WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?
Littlefoot saw that he was busted. But the three-horns face changed from mad to a playful look. Littlefoot stepped out of the bush as the three-horn looked at him. She snorted and kicked the dirt as Littlefoot responded with the same action. They then charged at each other. But before they met with each other, the three-horns dad came and leaped in the middle of them. He then growled at Littlefoot before turning to his daughter and spoke to her in a soft happy voice.
(Mr. three-horn) Come with me Cera. Three-horns never play with longnecks.
Littlefoot was puzzled when he heard what the big three-hone said. Cera then stuck out her tongue at Littlefoot.
(Cera) Three-horns never play with longnecks
(Mother longneck) Littlefoot.
As Littlefoot heard his mother calling him, the big three-horn growled at him again except more mad then before. Littlefoot's mom then came and grabbed her son by the tail with her mouth as Cera's dad did the same thing. The 2 protected grown-ups then looked at each other before walking away from each other. And being called a long-neck sounded like a insult to Littlefoot.
(Littlefoot) A long-neck? Mother. what's a long-neck?
(Mother longneck) Why that's what we are.
(Littlefoot) Oh. Well Why couldn't I play with that three-horn? We were having fun.
(Mother longneck) Well we like to keep to our own kind. The three-horns. The bigmouths. The flyers. The spike tails. We never do anything together.
(Littlefoot) But why?
(Mother Longneck) because we're different. It's always been that way.
(Littlefoot) Well why?
(Mother longneck) Oh don't worry my dear. Once we get to The Great Valley you will have many more long-necks to play with.
Littlefoot felt so lonely, he wished they were there now. His mother then saw how sad he was.
(Mother Longneck) Something wrong my dear?
(Littlefoot) Well Mother. It's just that I wish I had a friend
(Mother longneck) Oh my dear Littlefoot. Don't worry. We'll be at The Great Valley soon and you'll have more friends than ever.
Just as the herd of 4 longnecks went down the path a big warp pipe covered the whole area. It was so big they had to look away. Littlefoot then looked at 7 things in the warp pipe when it was almost gone. And then, the herd saw the strangest creatures they have ever seen.
