Chapter 6: Not very smart
Now that the twins are back under Cera's watch, the gang made their way back to the valley. Dinah and Dana were upset about what happened to Saurus Rock. It didn't take too long for Cera to see them like that.
(Cera) Don't worry. It's not your fault Saurus Rock got broken. It's Mario's fault.
(Mario) What?
(Cera) If you haven't talked about the Lone Warriors and made us think what Saurus Rock looked like, none of this would have happened.
(Dinah) Cerrie say go.
(Dana) We go bye-bye.
(Cera) Uhh. Peach. What did the little dears say?
(Peach) They uhh said that uhh you uhh told...them to uhh get...lost.
(Cera) Wait. I did. So it's my fault Saurus Rock got broken. Dinah, Dana, not a word about this to Grandpa Topps. Ok? When he gets mad, he's scarier than a Sharp-tooth. But now that I think about it, a Sharp-tooth can be really scarier than him.
(Ducky) Uhh. Cera. Gary-Jack Biter is behind you.
Ducky was right. Gary was closing in on the gang.
(Cera) Nice try Ducky. That old trick won't work on me. And you even almost sound just like a Sharp-tooth.
Gary was so close to Cera that his saliva came out of his mouth and landed on Cera's head.
(Cera) Hey. Is it starting to rain?
But as Cera looked up, she finally saw Gary.
(Cera) AAAHHH! Sharp-tooth spit. Gary spitted on me. YUCK!
The gang then made a run for it. As they kept on running, Mario saw a log that was big enough to hide all of them from Gary.
(Mario) Quick guys. In here.
The gang all ran inside the log and Gary couldn't find them anywhere.
(Gary-Jack Biter) Where are they? Come out kidys. Red Claw wants to see you.
He then started sniffing the air for the gang.
(Petrie) It dark in here.
(Ducky) It is a good thing that Sharp-teeth are not very smart. Yep, yep, yep.
Gary then calls their senses.
(Gary-Jack Biter) They're hiding in that log.
(Ducky) Hey. What is this?
Ducky poked her head out of a hole from the top of the log. But then saw that Gary had found them. Gary grabbed the log with his mouth and shook it to make the gang fall out of it. Gary then threw the log to the ledge of the big ditch facing up and then fell into the ditch with the gang still in it. However, the logs front and back both got stuck on both sides of the ditches walls.
(Littlefoot) Where are we now?
(Mario) I don't know. It's still dark in here.
(Luigi) You think we're in his stomach?
(Dinah and Dana) YUCKY! YUCKY!
Tickles had his eyes closed when the log was moving. Now that it's over, he opened them and saw that everyone is still inside the log. He then saw the hole and popped his head out and saw that they were over the ditch. He then walked out of the hole as Petrie followed him.
(Petrie) Hey. No problem now. You guys can walk across big ditch.
At that response, Ducky moved herself out of the hole and began to walk across the log. The twins then came out with Cera and the rest behind them. The twins then looked down and saw that they were really high up.
(Dinah and Dana) Whoa.
(Cera) MOVE IT!
From what Cera said, the twins began to walk to the other side. Tickles was hesitating. He was worried if he might fall down and kill himself.
(Petrie) Hey. Tickles know how to swim?
(Tickles) Yes.
(Petrie) If you fall, there skinny little river you might land in. Maybe.
Tickles looked at the bottom of the ditch. There really is a skinny river at the bottom. But it looked so skinny that even if Tickles landed in it, it would be too skinny for him to land in it. Now he was not hesitant but ignored at Petrie.
(Tickles) Oh thank you. I feel so much better now.
Tickles then walked to the other side with Cera and the rest behind him. When they all made it across, Littlefoot came out of the log with Mario behind him. As they got out, Spike tried to get out as well but they got stuck.
(Littlefoot) Come on Spike. You can do it.
(Mario) Come on. Ata boy. Ata boy. You're not stuck are you?
Yes he was. Mario then knew he had to help him. So Mario walked over to Spike and grabbed his front feet and started to pull with all his might.
But things were about to get worse now that Gary has found the gang.
(Peach) Mario. Spike. Gary is back.
Mario and Spike looked behind them and saw that Peach was right.
(Mario) Come on Spike. Move.
Mario pulled as hard as he could as Spike moved. That got him out of the hole and the 2 ran across the log. Gary tried to bite them but they were too fast and Gary missed them and bit the log instead. Mario and Spike got to the other side as Gary started to follow them. But then the log broke and fell down with Gary still on it. The gang watched Gary fall to his doom and then he landed on the ground with a big thud. Luigi's body was starting to shake from looking down at the bottom of the ditch.
(Luigi) That's why I don't like heights.
(Tickles) It's a good thing Sharp-teeth aren't very smart.
After the long walk, the gang has finally made it back to The Great Valley.
(Cera) I thought we'd never make it home.
(Mario) As long as we don't tell Topps the twins ran away we should be fine.
(?) Ran away?
Everyone looked up ahead and saw Topps in front of them with an angry look on his face.
(Topps) Cera. Did the twins really run away?
(Dinah) We go go.
(Dana) Sorry Rocky.
(Topps) SAURUS ROCK? THE TWINS WENT TO SAURUS ROCK?
(Waluigi) What? Topps can speak twin?
(Topps) Cera. Saurus Rock is part of The Mysterious Beyond. And yet you let them wonder there. That's your 3rd and final strike Cera. I gave you one job to look after the twins and you failed. Now you march yourself home right now. Apparently you still need to look after yourself. Losing the twins. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING
with that, Cera went home. Mario started to feel upset about what he said before Topps came.
(Mario) Me and my big mouth.
(Ducky) Do not worry Mario. It is not your fault. It is just bad luck. Just like what Littlefoot's grandfather said if anything happened to Saurus Rock. First we have bad luck. The whole Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom will have bad luck. Then maybe the whole dinosaur world will have bad luck. Maybe even the whole universe will have bad luck. In fact, maybe even the whole multiverse will have bad luck.
Now Littlefoot, Mario, and the rest are afraid if all will happen. As the others left, they went back to Littlefoot's nesting ground where Toadsworth was waiting for them.
(Mario) Hey Toadsworth
(Toadsworth) Finally. I thought I was going to have to look for you. Where did you go? Probably out adventuring like they always do.
(Littlefoot) We had enough adventures for today. The sun's setting. We're too tired now.
With that. Littlefoot, Mario, and the rest got to Littlefoot's resting hole and went to sleep.
