Chapter 5: Bron

The next morning, the group of Long-necks and their human friends continued making their way. Littlefoot, Mario, and the rest were resting on Grandpa Longneck's back since last night. The moment they woke up, they saw that there were a lot of them now.

(Littlefoot) Whoa! How many do you think there are now Grandpa?

Suddenly, everyone stopped. As if they felt something telling them that they're where they need to be.

(Luigi) What is it?

(Grandpa Longneck) I don't know. Sue. Could you?

(Sue) Why sure. Wanna go for a ride?

Mario hopped on Yoshi's back, Luigi hopped onto Littlefoot's, and Peach hopped on Birdo's back as they got into Sue's head. She then lifted them up to a tree and allowed them to climb up it.

(Sue) Be careful now.

(Grandpa Longneck) Climb to the top children. And look through the gap in the tree-stars.

Doing as they were told, Littlefoot with Luigi still on his back ran to the top of the tree. When they got to the gap in the leaves, they looked through it and saw swirling clouds. Followed by what looked like a large crater.

(Luigi) Grandpa Longneck. I think we're at the place we need to be.

Meanwhile, with Cera's group, she was the first one to wake up along with Dinah and Dana and the other Yokai.

(Cera) Ducky. Tickles. Wake up.

Ducky and Tickles woke up and scratched their bodies.

(Ducky) It can not be morning already. No, no, no.

(Tickles) I don't wanna battle gators before bed.

Petrie also woke as he heard the others talking.

(Petrie) Oh. Me very tired and we go so far already.

(Jibanyan) That's because we're trying to catch up with Littlefoot, Mario, and the rest.

(Dinah) But we don't know if we're still going the right way.

(Whisper) I say we look around that boulder and find footprints leading out of the swamp. And will somebody please wake up Spike?

Spike wasn't always a morning dinosaur. He was still asleep. Petrie walked over to him to wake him up.

(Petrie) Spike.

He didn't wake up the first time. So Petrie tried harder.

(Petrie) SPIKE!

That got Spike to wake up. Though he was a little mad that he was desturbed.

(USApyon) That's better.

USApyon was about to look for some footprints. But she ended up hearing more snoring. What does it take to get Spike up?

(USApyon) Spike! I mean it! Get up right

But the moment she turned around, she saw that Spike was still awake.

(Dana) That's not Spike.

(Jibanyan) I didn't know boulders could snore.

However, Cera saw an eyelid. Along with a tail and a foot with 3 claws and an arm. She then knew what the boulder really was.

(Cera) They can't snore. BUT SHARP-TEETH CAN!

The Sharp-tooth woke up the moment it heard Cera shout. It let out a roar the moment it saw the gang and knew that 4 of them are the ones all Sharp-teeth are after.

(Jibanyan) Run!

Everyone ran the moment the Sharp-tooth got ready to attack. It saw that Komajiro was closer to it and went after her first.

(Komajiro) Uh oh. Gotta move.

Komajiro ran as fast as he could. The Sharp-tooth tried to bite him but he kept moving out of the way. Komasan quickly saw this and grabbed his brother with his hand.

(Whisper) Quick. In there.

The gang ran inside a small cave Whisper was talking about. As they got in, the Sharp-tooth looked around for them. They were nowhere to be found. The Sharp-tooth roared angrily before stomping off. The gang was safe now.

(Fuu 2) I think he's gone.

(Cera) I hope so.

(USApyon) This is the last time we're trusting Petrie to pick out a boulder to sleep near.

(Petrie) Hey! It was dark. Okay?

The gang stepped out of the cave and got ready to move on. But then, a shadow casted over them. The gang ran back into cave, thinking that the Sharp-tooth had come back. But it wasn't the Sharp-tooth. It was an old Long-neck who just lowered his head to look at them.

(Old Long-neck) You can come on out youngsters. He's gone.

(Whisper) Are you sure Mr... uh?

(Old Long-neck) The name's Pat. And yes I'm sure. Those critters are big, but dumb. You kids fooled him good.

(Cera) Uhh.. thanks.

(Pat) Will you be alright without me?

(Cera) Yes.

(Pat) Okay then. I'll just be mosing along then. Happy trails to you.

The moment as Pat left, the others felt unsure about being out alone.

(Dinah) Auntie Cera. Are you sure we'll be alright?

(Cera) Yes. I hope.

As the group of Longneck went up the slope, Littlefoot with Luigi on his back went farther ahead. Desperate to see what was on the top.

The moment they got there, they saw that the place down below was a huge valley with many trees and a circle of water in the center.

(All) Wow!

the moment the other Long-necks came, they also looked at the valley and they too were amazed.

Later, all the long-necks and kingdom travelers were in the valley. Minding their own business. Sue walked around the place and felt upset. She was the tallest one but it made him feel down. However, she didn't watch where she was going and bumped into someone.

(Sue) Excuse me.

But as she looked at who she bumped into, she was surprised. The Long-neck in front of her was taller than she was.

(Sue) My goodness.

(Taller Long-neck) No problem. No problem at all Little Lady.

(Sue) Little Lady? He he.

Sue was flattered. For ones she finally met someone she can look up to. Maybe she'll even become his mate.

Littlefoot, Mario, and his friends stopped in front of the watering hole with Grandma and Grandpa Longneck, who was very tired after such a long journey.

(Grandpa Longneck) Well children. What do you think of this place?

(Mario) It looks like a big hole.

(Toad) It's all big and wide.

(Littlefoot) But it seems familiar.

But then, they remembered their dream as it flashed back to them in their minds. And then it hit them.

(Littlefoot) Grandma, Grandpa. In our dream, we saw the sun falling.

(Mario) This place must be where it

But before Mario could finish, he, his friends, and Littlefoot saw that the 2 elder Long-necks were taking a nap.

(Mario) Happened.

Then they left to let the elder Long-necks rest in peace. They decided to go to the watering hole for a while. Many of the Long-necks were there taking a drink of water while some of the humans were fishing. Littlefoot was about to lower his neck into the water to get a drink. But he slipped off the edge and into the water.

After Littlefoot got out of the water, he, Mario, and his friends went on to find something to do. Unknown to them, a green Long-neck who was about a year older than Littlefoot watched all of them heading his way.

Right next to the Long-neck was another yoshi wearing sunglasses, spiked collar around his neck, and the fact that he doesn't wear the same shoes as the other Yoshis.

The Long-neck and the yoshi looked at each other as Litlefoot, Mario, and his friends got closer. They let out an evil smile on their mouths. When they were close enough, the green Long-neck ran to Littlefoot and used his tail to trip him as the Yoshi used tongue to trip Mario and his friends. When they were on the ground, both of them let out an evil laugh.

(Green Long-neck) Watch where you're going Clumsy.

They got up and glanced angrily at the ones who tripped them. But Mario ended up gasping the moment he saw who the yoshi was.

(Mario) Boshi!

(Boshi) Well well. If it isn't Mario.

(Littlefoot) You did that on purpose.

(Boshi) Oh yeah Littleneck?

(Littlefoot) It's Littlefoot. Hang on. I know you. Mario told me that you raced him

(Boshi) Oh did he?

(Luigi) How dare you bully my brother?!

(Boshi) Oh I dare.

(?) Shorty. Boshi.

Shorty and Chandler turned around and gasped. A brown full grown Long-neck, a star, and a nimbus was walking towards them. They hoped that he didn't see the whole thing.

(Full grown Long-neck) Shorty. Boshi. What's going on?

The 2 looked at each other. Thinking quickly, they made up an excuse.

(Shorty and Boshi) Ow.

(Shorty) He stepped on my tail. On purpose.

(Boshi) And those guys stepped on my tongue.

(Full grown Long-neck) Who?

(Shorty and Boshi) Them.

(Full grown Long-neck) Them? You mean the ones that the both of you tripped.

(Shorty) What are you talking about?

(Boshi) We didn't trip them.

(Full grown Long-neck) Shorty. Boshi. It's me. Now give me the truth.

The 2 sighed in defeat. There was no excuse from this.

(Boshi) Alright. We tripped them.

(Full grown Long-neck) What do you say?

(Shorty and Boshi) Sorry.

(Littlefoot) It's...alright.

Shorty and Boshi then walked away. Leaving Littlefoot, Mario, and his friends with their guardian.

(Full grown Long-neck) Don't worry. They're good kids. Once you get to know them.

(Mario) To most of you, Boshi is.

(Full grown Long-neck) The name's Bron. and these guys are Geno and Mallow. What's yours?

(Mario) I'm Mario. And these are my friends

(Littlefoot) And i'm Littlefoot.

(Bron) Hmm. That's funny. They used to call me Littlefoot when I was younger.

(Littlefoot) my mother gave me this name. And I want to keep it when I grow up.

(?) Littlefoot. Mario.

They turned around and saw Grandpa Longneck heading their way.

(Grandpa Longneck) There you are children. Grandma and I wondered where you all had gone.

Before Grandpa Longneck could say anything else, he notist Bron.

(Grandpa Longneck) Bron?

(Bron) Papa Longneck.

Mario and Luigi were shocked. How do they know each other?

(Grandpa Longneck) Uh. Littlefoot. This...is your father.

Littlefoot gasped. He never even knew he had a dad.

(Bron) Littlefoot. I

Before Bron could finish, Littlefoot ran off.

(Mario) Littlefoot!

(Luigi) Wait for us!

Mario and his friends ran as fast as they could to catch up with Littlefoot. They ran past and through some of the Long-necks and kingdom travelers who were trying to walk by until they got in their way. Then they went up the slope to think about what they just found out.
