Chapter 4: True or False
At Petrie's nest, Pterano was telling him and his siblings a story about how he escaped an attack from The Great Sharptooth.
"Onward I flew, Sharptooth gained on me. His big jaws opened wide. Teeth above me. Teeth below me."
"Pterano!" Mama Flyer called from the nest. "It's time for the little ones to take their nap."
"Ah. Yes. Mind your mother dear children and let's all behave."
"Yes. Let's. Come along kids."
With that said, the young Flyers flew to the cave.
"Wasn't that neat?"
"I wanna be like Pterano when I grow up."
"I'm gonna be just like him."
But before Petrie could fly to the nest, Pterano grabbed him.
"Oh Petrie. May have a word with you?" He asked.
"Sure." Petrie said as he landed. "You sure lead exciting life."
"High praise indeed coming form you. I hear you're quite the adventurer yourself."
"Oh yeah. Me very brave." Petrie said as he did some fighting pozes. Only for him to punch himself on the beak.
"Well then as one adventure to another. Perhaps you could to me one tiny harmless favor." Pterano said to him.
After Petrie's nap, he flew to the others to find them playing the Pointy Seed Knock-over game. Little did he know that Littlefoot and Chomper and Cera had told the others about what Pterano did.
"You're late." Littlefoot said to him.
"Me sorry. Me take long nap." He lied. "So, what Petrie miss?"
"Spike is one pointy seed ahead of Chomper." Said Ducky.
"And this is Chomper's last turn." Said Cera.
Chomper looked carefully as he held onto the rock. He had to make sure to get some seeds knocked over. Otherwise Spike will win.
After figgering it out, he tossed the rock and it rolled down the hill. Knocking over all two seeds.
"He got two." Said Ruby. "Chomper wins."
Spike gave him look that said 'I need a rematch'.
"Oh too bad you lose Spike." Petrie said to him. "But that just way the rock rolls. And speaking of rock. You won Chomper. So you can tell Petrie about that Stone Of Cold Fire."
"Oh not this again." Said Cera.
"So. Where you say it land again?" Petrie asked Chomper.
"Well it went over the top of Three-horn Peak. But kind of off to the side." Chomper said to him. Until he got sad and said, "Oh why does it matter? We can't go there anyway."
"Why'd you ask Petrie?" Littlefoot asked him.
"Oh me just wanted to know. Me wish me seen it too."
"Ha!" Cera scarfed at him. "More like your uncle wants to know! Right Petrie?!"
"No. Yes. No." Petrie said as he neversly stepped back as Cera got closer. "Well maybe him to. But honest. Me,"
Before he could finish, he ended up stepping off the ledge and rolled down the hill. And he didn't stop rolling until he got to the pointy seeds and hit them.
"Petrie!" Littlefoot and Chomper shouted as they ran to him.
"Ow. Me no cut out for Pointy Seed game."
"Petrie. Are you alright?" Ruby asked.
"No he's not alright because it's not alright to tell a lie." Said Cera.
"I'm sorry Petrie but the grown-ups told us to be careful around your uncle." Said Chomper. "Sometimes he uses his word to fool you.
"You wrong. Uncle Pterano never do that." Petrie said in anger.
"I know Pterano is trouble." Said Cera. "So are the rest of those stupid old Flyers. My dad told me you can tell a lot about somebody by the quolity of your friends."
"Yeah? Well me in trouble. Cause me friends acting like stink bugs." Petrie said before he flew away crying.
"Petrie. Do not go. No no no." Ducky said to him.
"Who cares about him? He should just go with the rest of those stupid old Flyers." Said Cera.
"That's what worries me." Said Chomper.
By then, Petrie had landed on a tree as he continued crying.
"They so mean."
"There there Petrie." Came in Pterano's voice as he showed up behind him and hugged him. "Come to dear old Uncle Pterano. Tell me everything."
And he did.
