Chapter 3: Quicksand Rescue
The gang all looked nervously as they looked at the sheltering grass on the other side of the quicksand.
(Mario) Whoa. I didn't think it'd be this big.
(Littlefoot) How are we gonna get across?
And still they knew that this was a bad idea. Ducky put her foot in the goo and then struggled to pull it out only for 3 seconds.
(Ducky) I can not swim in this. Oh, no. No, no, no.
(Petrie) Petrie fly across.
He flew around in a loop before landing. Ducky giggled.
(Ducky) Petrie we don't have wings. No, no, no. We can not fly.
Petrie landed as he sadly remembered that his friends can't fly.
(Ducky) Poor Petrie.
(Cera) My dad just jumps from rock to rock.
(Daisy) Yeah but you dad has longer legs then us.
(Cera) Big deal. I can do it too. Watch.
So Cera stepped back a bit and then charged at the goo. She then jumped on a rock and her back legs were in the goo but she pulled herself out and stood on the rock.
(Cera) See?
She then lost her balance and fell into the goo.
(All) Cera.
(Littlefoot) Hang on.
Littlefoot, Ducky, and Spike ran to her as Petrie got in the air.
(Petrie) Wait for Petrie.
(Cera) AAAHHH! HEEEEELP!
Ducky ran on to the same rock Cera fell from and grabbed her horn.
(Ducky) I got you Cera. Yes I do.
Littlefoot then came and grabbed Ducky.
(Petrie) That it Littlefoot. You pull.
But he was starting to lose his balance.
(Petrie) Oh my. Oh no. What will we do? Me go for help.
(Mario) Good thinking. But wait.
(Peach) We're not supposed to be here.
(Petrie) Right. If grown-ups find out we in big trouble.
But then Spike came and grabbed Littlefoot by his tail.
(Ducky) Horray. Spike.
(Petrie) That is Spike. You pull. Wait. I help. I pull too.
(Mario) Count us in. And I think I know a power up to help.
Mario just got a Metal Cap to become Metal Mario and then Yoshi used his tongue to reach over to Cera.
(Mario) Petrie. Grab onto this rope, and you pull Spike while me and my friends pull with you.
(Petrie) Good thinking.
Petrie then grabbed on Spike and Mario just in time.
(Mario) Ready everyone?
(All) Ready.
(Mario) Alright everyone. Keep Cera in place. And PULL!
Everyone began to pull Cera out with all of their might. It was a tug of war game of who can pull Cera out. Suddenly, Mario slipped on a tree star with the others and Spike and Littlefoot lost balance and fell in with the others along with Yoshi. They all called for help as they struggled to get out. Ducky tried to get on Littlefoot but she kept falling back in the goo. Petrie tried to fly out but the goo made his wings feel heavy and fell back in. They do know that if they keep moving they will sink faster. But they were really scared and kept struggling.
(All) Whoops.
But, the gang was yelling so loud that other dinosaurs were able to hear them. Such as Cera's father, Topps, who was eating some dinner until he heard the gang screaming and looked over at the quicksand.
(Topps) Cera?
As for Petrie's mother, She was rapping up an egg to keep warm until she heard the gang saw what was happening at the quicksand.
(Mama Flyer) Petrie.
And for Ducky and Spike's mother, she was at the watering hole with Littlefoot's grandparents getting a drink. But then the 3 heard screaming and saw the gang in the quicksand.
(Mama Swimmer) Ducky. Spike.
(Grandma and Grandpa Longneck) Littlefoot.
The gang were almost completely sunken into the sands. They were down to their heads and still they kept struggling.
(Mario) Don't give up guys. We can make it.
But then they started sank completely into the goo.
(Yoshi) Yoshi (Mario, Behind You).
Then everyone sank completely into the goo. But then Grandpa Longneck got there in time and used his tail to grab the gang and pull them out of the quicksand and put them back onto the solid Earth. The gang breathed heavily and coughed when they were put back onto the ground.
(Peach) Never move if you're stuck in quicksand. It'll make you sink faster.
(Littlefoot) Well. At least we made it out.
But then Everyone turned around and saw the adult dinosaurs looking at them with angry looks on their faces.
(Littlefoot) Uh oh.
All that the gang can do now is go back to their nests and face a lecture or two.
