Chapter 7: Mrs. Mama

Soon, the gang found themselves at a waterfall and a big boulder was blocking Mo's way down.

(Luigi) Uh, Petrie? Are you sure this is the right way?

(Petrie) Big rock look like little tiny rock from way up there.

(Cera) And how do you plan for Mo to get over that?

(Ducky) Maybe they do not have to. They could just swim under the boulder.

The others looked confused. Could Mo really swim under there?

(Ducky) I will go and see.

Ducky then jumped into the water and swam to the bottom with Mo following her. As they got there, Ducky looked at the rocks below the boulder. There was a gap small enough for them to fit in.

Mo then swam into the gap. But then he stopped moving and couldn't get out.

Ducky gasped as she tried and pulled to free him. But they were stuck too tight. She then swam back up to warn the others.

(Littlefoot) Ducky! What is it?

(Ducky) It is Mo! He's stuck under many rocks!

Without thinking, the others held their breath and leaped into the water.

(Ducky) No, no, no! Stop! Not all of you are swimmers!

Ducky then dived back in to find the others. But unknown to them, Mo had popped his head out of the water.

(Mo) Surprise!

However, no one was there.

(Mo) Where did everybody go?

Just then, the gang raised out of the water and started gasping for air.

(Tickles) Did you see them?

(Komasan) I couldn't see them anywhere.

(Cera) Me nether.

(Mario) Wherever they are, I hope they're alright.

(Mo) Mo alright Mario.

The gang looked to their left. Mo was not stuck at all.

(Peach) Oh. It was just an act.

However, only Littlefoot, Mario, the rest, and Cera found it alright to forgive the swimmer. But the others thought otherwise.

(Tickles) Face it guys.

(Petrie) They no want help to get home.

(Ducky) All they want to do is have fun. Yes they do.

(Cera) Hang on. Fun. That's it. Mo think's jumping is fun, right?

(Daisy) Maybe they can jump over the boulder.

(Ducky) Wait. What?

(Petrie) What if they no make it? What if they hit big rock and get squish?

(Mario) Relax. That won't happen. They can make it.

(Littlefoot) Cera and I will wait for them on top. Just in case.

Littlefoot climbed up the boulder with Cera to wait in case Mo needed help. When they got to the top, Mo got ready to jump.

(Littlefoot) Are you guys ready?

The swimmer nodded. They then jumped as high as they could. As they went down, they were heading for the boulder.

(Petrie) Oh no! Here come the squish part!

However, Mo landed on Littlefoot. He then slid off the dinosaur and landed back into the water.

(Ducky) He made it! Yes that did! Yep, yep, yep.

(Mo) That very fun! Let's do it again.

(Mario) Ha ha ha. Maybe. Who knows what we'll run into next?

3 minutes later, they were now in a green part of the path. As Mo splashed around, Littlefoot and Mario began to talk to him about their other adventures.

(Mario) And with a great big SPLASH, the great Walking Terror Sharptooth sank all the way down the pond. Never to live ever again.

(Littlefoot) And the next day is when we found The Great Valley before it was The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom.

Mo was amazed at the story. A Sharp-tooth feared by all was no match for the Gang.

Later, Mo was now hearing Cera and Luigi tell a story about their adventures.

(Cera) The Egg-eaters were about to throw us off the cliff. Until Chomper came and distracted Strut.

(Luigi) Ozzy got mad and grabbed Chomper by his neck until Magnus and Tyra came and chased the Egg-eaters until they got eaten.

Mo started to shiver from hearing that. The gang sure had made a lot of enemies in the past.

However, everyone else (minus Mario and Littlefoot) were getting bored from this trip.

(Petrie) Me wish we there now.

(Tickles) Me too. What can we do to pass the time?

(Ducky) Maybe we could try singing. Mama always told me to sing to pass the time.

The others looked at Ducky. Including Cera and Luigi who had just finished their story.

Before anyone could say something, Ducky started to sing.

(Ducky) Big, big, big, big water.

And then Spike joined in on the singing.

(Ducky) Come on guys. Singing will make you feel much, much, much, much better.

(Tickles) Big, big, big, big water. Say. I'm feeling much better already.

Yet the other saw that Tickles was right. And they joined in at singing as well.

(Petrie) We looking for big, big, big, big water.

(Luigi) It's deep and dark and dangerous.

(Petrie) It scary and it strangerous.

(All) And things could rearrange-r-us, in that big water.

(Petrie) That fun. Sing it again.

(Mario) We went there some time ago.

(Littlefoot) And now we're going back you know.

(Cera) And this time, we are taking Mo home.

(All) To that big water.

As their song ended, the gang started laughing.

(Ducky) See? We are all feeling better already.

Just then, Mo started making strange squeaking sounds.

(Petrie) Hey. What he doing?

(Ducky) Maybe he is sick.

(Tickles) Maybe he hit his head on something.

But then, Cera felt something hop onto her horn and then leaped off of it before she yelped.

(Mario) Cera!

(Cera) Something just touched my horn.

(Luigi) What do you think it was?

(Cera) I don't know. But I think it was...one of them!

Cera was talking about a couple cricket in front of them. But then some more came. And then some more. The gang found themselves surrounded by a whole bunch of crickets. Afraid to think about what might happen next.

However, Mo started squeaking at the crickets which got their attention. They then turned to the swimmer.

(Tickles) What are they doing?

(Littlefoot) If you ask me, I think they're talking to each other.

And then, before the gang knew it, the crickets hopped off and left.

(Luigi) What was that all about?

(Mo) Mo was talking to them. And they gave us a path to the ocean.

(Peach) Oh.

(Mo) Also, they like Mo's singing.

(Ducky) Oh. So that is what you were doing. Singing.

The sun was now close to setting for the night. And the gang was still far away from the ocean. Mario and Littlefoot had just finished telling Mo about The Time Of The Great Giving and then Cera and Luigi finished telling them how the gang met Ali and Rosalina and saved Grandpa Longneck from dying in sickness by retrieving the golden Night Flower from The Land of Mists.

Petrie, Spike, and Tickles on the other hand, were starting to get grumpy from all this. But not Ducky.

(Ducky) Everyone is getting really grumpy. But I am hap...hap...HAPPY!

Ducky was so happy that she started jumping around.

(Ducky) Oh yes. I am happy that we are all working together in finding a way home.

However, Ducky didn't watch where she was going and fell into a hole that was covered with leaves. Yoshi heard Ducky yelp and stopped moving.

(Mario) What's wrong?

(Yoshi) Yoshi Yoshi (I think Ducky fell behind somewhere.)

The others looked back and saw that Yoshi was right. Ducky was missing.

However, Spike walked over to the covered up hole and removed the leaves blocking it. And there was Ducky.

(Ducky) Hello, Spike. Thank you for saving me.

Spike picks up Ducky, then putting down, then Spike licks Ducky and she starts laughing. The others came by and saw what happened.

(Peach) Ducky. Are you alright?

(Ducky) I think so. I was hopping around until I fell down this hole.

Then they saw some rocks move in the hole. But as they moved some more, Mario saw what they really were.

(Mario) Eggs. Ducky fell into somebody's nest.

(USApyon) Which is why we should get going now. The mother of these eggs might not be very

But before USApyon could finish, everyone heard stomping sounds. The gang turned around and saw that it was too late. The mother Diplodocus has already returned.

(USApyon) Friendly.

Upon seeing the mothers angry face, the gang backed away from her in fear.

(Ducky) We are very sorry Mrs. Mama. We did not mean to harm your babies. No, no, no.

However, the mother, or as Ducky refers to as Mrs. Mama, began to sniff at her eggs. Neither one of them were harmed. She then turned back to the gang.

(Mrs. Mama) Now, you're not much more than hatchlings yourselves.

(Cera) Not much more?!

(Mrs. Mama) No wait. You're those guys who defeated Sharptooth.

The gang stopped shivering the moment Mrs. Mama found who they really are.

(Mrs. Mama) But who's that Tickly Fuzzy with you?

(Tickles) Oh. I joined them a couple days after they found The Great Valley before this is called The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom.

(Mrs. Mama) Really? You all must be very brave to have such adventures and make new friends.

The gang felt pleased at what the Diplodocus said about. However, they knew that it was getting too dark to continue their journey.

(Peach) Well even though we're brave, we could use a safe place to spend the night.

Mrs. Mama couldn't say no to the gang and allowed them to stay for the night. They then told about what happened before they started their trip to the ocean.
