Waiting For A Friend-Part 2 by megacharizard
Littlefoot walked backed to his nest, feeling terrible. Ali had gone out on a limb to tell him
her feelings and he had rejected her. "I did NOT reject her, I just told her that I didn't
KNOW if I like her that way or not." He kept telling himself over and over, in his mind.
He didn't know what to do. He knew he couldn't just force himself to love her. By this time,
he had reached his nest, so he decided to deal with this in the morning. He just hoped that
his relationship with Ali wouldn't be affected by all of this...
Ali didn't go back to her nest right away. She didn't want to have to answer
questions to her mother about why she had been crying. She soon found herself by the
nesting grounds of the farwalkers. Despite all of the Clubtail chaos, the Old-One had
decided to stay in the Great Valley. Ali sat on a rock near a family of Hollow-Horns to wait
for her eyes to dry. Then, she would head back to her nest. She watched as the mother and
father of the family kissed and hugged. Ali felt another pang of sadness. She kept asking
herself why she couldn't have that with Littlefoot. In the end, she decided to head back
before her mother started to worry. She had no idea of how she could ever hope to get any
sleep tonight...
Things didn't go well the next day. Littlefoot was trying to find Ali so they could
straighten things out and Ali didn't want to see anybody, so Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike
were confused about them.
"Where are they? We agreed to meet here just after we got back to the valley
yesterday." Cera said.
"Maybe they no feel like playing today." Petrie said.
"Then there must be something wrong. There must." Ducky realised.
"Wonder what it is." Cera said. In the end they decided to play without the two of
them.
By the next day, Ali was ready to face the others. Littlefoot though, was still looking
for her so he was nowhere in sight.
"Where were you yesterday?" Cera asked her.
"My mother wasn't feeling so good so I had to stay at home." she replied, using the
excuse she had been preparing.
"Do you where Littlefoot is?" asked Ducky. Ali worked hard not to show any tears.
"No. Why?"
"He no show up yesterday either." Petrie squawked. "He must've been looking
for me." Thought Ali. She didn't say this to the others though because she didn't what them
to know what had happened. She just said that she didn't know where he was. So the five
of them played without him. Ali found that playing with the others actually took her mind off
Littlefoot.
Littlefoot was watching the others play from the nearby trees. He couldn't talk to Ali
with everyone else watching. It would be too difficult with everyone watching. He decided
to wait until they had to go home and then he would confront her. Unfortunately, his
Grandma called so he had to leave right away.
That evening, the farwalkers were getting ready to leave the valley. Littlefoot was
watching them go. As the Hollow-Horns went out of the valley, a large roar sounded outside
of the valley! Littlefoot looked through the hole and saw that a Sharptooth was attacking the
heard! It charged toward a very old member of the herd and in the process knocked a baby
Hollow-Horn against some sharp rocks! Littlefoot knew that nothing could be done for the
old one, but that young one was hurt badly! He quickly ran and managed to drag the baby
back into the valley.
Littlefoot saw Ali walking near by. He knew they had problems, but this was an emergency!
"Ali, come over here!" he called to her. Ali was about to run off, but when she
heard the roars just outside, she knew that something was very wrong! She rushed over and
saw the Hollow-Horn lying on it's back, wounded.
"I need you to tell the adults that a Sharptooth is attacking the farwalkers." Littlefoot
told her.
"Right!" she nodded and ran off in the direction of her nest. "Well, at least this
might help our friendship a bit." Littlefoot thought. It wasn't long before Ali came back
with some Threehorns, Spiketails and Clubtails. They all charged through the hole and
started to attack the Sharptooth. Since it was one against many, The Sharptooth was easily
defeated. Littlefoot's grandparents took the baby Hollow-Horn to a lake to bathe it's
wounds.
"Is it gonna be okay?" asked Littlefoot.
"I think it should be just fine." his Grandpa said.
"That's a relief." Ali sighed.
"Littlefoot, go and find the farwalkers and tell where their baby is." his
Grandma said. Littlefoot nodded and ran off. Ali was happy that she and Littlefoot were
talking again, but she decided to stay with the baby. It wasn't long before Littlefoot
returned.
"They left the valley! They must've thought that this kid was killed by the Sharptooth
and decided to get out of here before they get attacked again! I would've gone after them,
but they've already made too much distance!" Littlefoot said, slightly out of breath.
"What'll we do?" Ali asked.
"We'll have to let the council decide what to do tomorrow." Littlefoot's Grandpa
said. He and Littlefoot's Grandma walked away, taking the Hollow-Horn with them.
"The council takes too long to decide things." Littlefoot said.
"You're right. If someone doesn't leave now, they'll get too far away." Ali said.
"Okay, lets find Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike and get after that herd." Littlefoot
said.
"We can't leave now! It's almost dark. We won't be able to see Sharpteeth!" Ali
pointed out.
"You're right. We'll leave tomorrow." Littlefoot decided. Ali agreed and they each
went home for the night. Ali was excited. It looked like things were finally going well with
Littlefoot. Tomorrow, it would be just like old times with the group leaving the valley on a
dangerous adventure. She just hoped that things would still be okay after the adventure...
Early next morning, the six dinosaurs met on Peace-keeper's Ledge. Littlefoot and
Ali filled them in on what had happened.
"So, we have to follow that herd to reunite them with the baby." Ali finished up.
"But there is a problem," said Littlefoot, "I'm not sure if taking the baby Hollow-
Horn on a long journey with us is such a good idea."
"We could just catch up to them and tell them where the baby is. Yep, yep, yep!"
Ducky said.
"I don't think they would turn the whole herd around and put it in danger for one
individual." Cera said.
"So we just give baby to them when they pass by next year." Petrie said.
"No." Littlefoot said, " We can't separate the baby from it's family for a year.
Besides, the longer it stays in one place, the harder it will be for it to get used to migration
again."
"You right." Petrie agreed. They tried to decide on the best way to get the baby
back to the herd and finally decided that it was best take the baby with them. Littlefoot and
Spike retrieved the baby from Littlefoot's nest, where it was sleeping and met the others at
the South pass. The baby was draped over Spike's back, as it was still too weak to walk.
One by one, the kids went through the hole and out of the valley...
As Ali had the most experience of travelling around, she led the group because all
migratory herds followed the same path. These travellers would be heading back to the
lands that they only left to escape white-ground-sparkles. Of course, danger was never far
from the group when they left the valley. The kids were walking through a small quarry.
Cera heard a faint rumbling sound.
"Hey guys, I can here a strange rumbling noise." she said.
"Maybe it is Spike's tummy." Ducky joked. Everyone except Cera laughed.
"I'm not kidding! I definitely heard something" she insisted. Everyone listened.
"Me no hear anything." Petrie said. Suddenly, rocks began to fall all around them as
a rockslide began!
"I'll bet you heard THAT!" Ali yelled! As the rocks fell, the kids ran through the
quarry, zigzagging left and right! As the rockslides finally came to a halt, the kids realised
that the group had been split up...
In the Great valley, Littlefoot's grandparents could not find Littlefoot anywhere.
They had also noticed that the baby was missing too.
"He and his friends must've taken the Hollow-Horn in a bid to return it to it's
family." Littlefoot's Grandma said.
"You're right. We must tell the council about this." Littlefoot's Grandpa agreed.
They both knew that Littlefoot and his friends had been lucky in the past when they left the
valley, but sooner or later, their luck could run out...
With the rocks blocking the kids off, they had been split into groups. The groups
were Littlefoot, the Hollow-Horn and Spike, Cera and Ali and Petrie and Ducky. During the
rockslide, Littlefoot, the Hollow-Horn and Spike had taken refuge inside a cave. But the
rocks had blocked up the entrance leaving them trapped inside.
"Great! Looks like we're gonna have to find another way out of here!" Littlefoot
sighed. Spike nodded in agreement as they journeyed through the cavern. As neither Spike
nor the baby could talk, Littlefoot had more time with his thoughts, which slowly trailed back
to his problem with Ali. He did feel that he was getting closer to her, but not enough to be in
love with her. Suddenly, he was distracted from his thoughts by a pack of Dome-Heads
(Pacyhcephlasaurus)! The five hard-headed dinosaurs were closing in around the three kids.
"We're in trouble now!" thought Littlefoot. One of0 them charged at the group!
"Jump!" yelled Littlefoot. They managed to get out the way. This went the same way
for some time. The Dome-Heads never caught on because of their tiny brains. The ground
started to shake as a violent earthquake started!
"Oh, an earthshake! My day just keeps getting better, and better!" said Littlefoot,
sarcastically. As rocks started to rain down on them, an exit was blown open! Spike saw
and managed to get Littlefoot's attention to show him. The two of them ran, carrying the
baby and made it through the gap! The Dome-Heads were not so lucky…
Ali and Cera had been blocked of from the others to find themselves in a desert. Ali
didn't think much about Littlefoot because she had Cera to talk to.
"Where do you think the others are?" asked Cera.
"No idea. But I guess it doesn't matter which way we go seeing as we don't have
the baby with us." Ali replied. As the two carried on, Ali started to notice something.
"Hey Cera, I think we're back on the migratory trail again!" she exclaimed.
"Really? Then we have to find the others and show the right way to go." Cera said.
"Well, I guess we'd better go back the way we came and try and shift some of
those rocks." Ali said. The two of them started back. On the way, Three small Sharpteeth
jumped out from behind a rock! Ali and Cera backed up quickly and started running in
another direction!
"Oh this is all we need!" Cera yelled. The two of them ran through a hole in the
rocks to find themselves in a small area with grass and leaves. As the Sharpteeth came
through, an earthquake began to shake! This was the same earthquake that Littlefoot and
Spike encountered in the cave. Rocks were suddenly blown out from the wall knocking all
the Sharpteeth out! Ali and Cera glanced at the hole in the wall to see Littlefoot, Spike and
the baby standing there...
During this time, Ducky and Petrie had found themselves in the small green place
that the Sharpteeth had chased Ali and Cera into.
"Where are we?" Ducky said aloud.
"Me no, no." Petrie answered. They looked around a bit. As they went around,
Petrie suddenly screamed out loud!
"What is Petrie? Huh?" Ducky cried. She looked over in his direction to find in a tar
pit, sinking fast!
"Get me outta here!" he yelled.
"Stay calm!" Ducky yelled back. She looked around and found a small stick. She
picked it up with some difficulty and managed to drag it over to the pit. She swung it over
the pit directly in front of Petrie!
"Grab the stick, Petrie!" she called! Petrie made quite a few attempts at before
actually reaching it.
"Me got it!" he yelled, holding on tight! Ducky pulled as hard as she could and
finally managed to get him to safety! The two of them kneeled near the swamp, panting.
"Are you okay Petrie? Are you? Huh?" Ducky asked, concerned for her best
friend.
"Me okay. Thanks for saving my life." Petrie panted.
"It was nothing. It was." Ducky replied. Just as they had recovered, the earth
started shaking, Ali and Cera came running in with the Sharpteeth hot on their tails and you
know the rest...
The group, now reunited were following Ali and Cera through the desert on the way
back to the trail. They were all tired, but they couldn't stop. They had lost valuable time
during the earthquake. It soon began to get dark so the kids decided to stop for the night.
The group start to fall asleep, sheltered from wind by some rocks. Soon, the only one
awake was Littlefoot. The longer the adventure went on, the more confused Littlefoot was
about his problem with Ali. He had to think of a solution to the problem. But so far, the only
way to solve this problem was to fall in love with Ali. "How do you fall in love with
somebody?" he thought. "And even if I do manage it, how will know? I've never been
in love before. I don't know how it feels." Thoughts continued to swim around his head,
making him drowsy and he eventually fell asleep...
Littlefoot's grandparents had told the council what had happened. As usual, Cera's
father was yelling at Littlefoot' Grandpa, blaming Littlefoot for the situation as he often did.
As always, the group was arguing over whose plan was better than the others and not
making any progress at all...
The kids were walking along as usual. They thought that they had received their
share of bad luck for this adventure. They were wrong! The quiet around them was
suddenly filled with loud roars!
"Oh no! Sounds like a Sharptooth!" Cera cried. Ducky cocked her head and then
gasped in shock and horror!
"No! It sounds like THREE Sharpteeth! It does!" she yelled. She was right. Three,
large Sharpteeth, one green, one red, one brown, came rampaging around the corner! The
kids ran, screaming for their lives! The Sharpteeth were able to split them up once more and
chased after them...
The green Sharptooth was pursuing Littlefoot and Ali. As they ran, mountains
loomed up ahead.
"When we get to the mountain, climb up it! That should slow the Sharptooth down!"
Littlefoot yelled to Ali! Ali nodded and they started up the hill! As they slipped on the loose
rocks and pebbles, the Sharptooth, although still far behind, used the time they were taking
to catch up! Soon, it was right behind them! They monster drew back it's claws and slashed
at Ali's right-hind leg! She screamed out in pain and fell to the ground. The Sharptooth
slipped and fell down the mountain a bit, but got up and started moving up again, using the
scent of Ali's blood to track them quicker! Littlefoot knew he had to do something fast!
"I've gotta help her! I don't know what I would do if Ali was killed!" he thought. He
pushed a fairly large rock over the hill, which hit the Sharptooth in the eye, buying him some
time! Something suddenly occurred to Littlefoot. "I just said in my mind that I can't live
my life if Ali can't live hers. That means...I do love Ali!" he thought. Although he was
startled by his revelation, he didn't have time to think. Ali had passed out and was in serious
need of help! Littlefoot scanned the mountain quickly. There was a fairly small hole near
them. If Littlefoot could get Ali and himself into it, they would be safe from the Sharptooth!
He started to push Ali toward the hole. The Sharptooth was almost right behind him! He
pushed Ali inside and prepared to jump in himself! But he was too late! The Sarptooth
slashed across the back leaving him with two searing wounds! Not having time to cry out, he
jumped through the hole and landed beside Ali, leaving the Sharptooth outside! Too
exhausted to even check the surroundings, Littlefoot collapsed next to Ali and passed out...
Cera and Petrie were running through the rocky terrain being chased by the red
Sharptooth! Just as it looked like things couldn't get worse, they did! A violent earthquake
shook the land hard!
"It just keeps getting worse!" Cera yelled. As they ran, a gorge split open across
their path! The were about to jump, but the Sharptooth caught up and knocked them down
into the horrors below...
Spike, Ducky and the Hollow-Horn were on the run from the red Sharptooth!
Ducky spotted a rocky hill nearby and led Spike and the baby upward. As they were
running, Ducky tripped and caught her leg between two stones. She was trapped!
"SPIKE, HELP ME!" she screamed. Spike knew that he would not be able to
reach her in time. He looked around and saw a fairly large boulder nearby. He set the baby
down, ran over to it and started to push against it! The Sharptooth drew closer and closer to
Ducky, drooling with hunger! Spike pushed as hard as he could, but the rock would not
budge! The Sharptooth stamped it's foot hard on the ground and roared loudly! The
vibrations from it's foot, however, were enough to shake the boulder loose! It rolled toward
the Sharptooth and knocked it down! But as it rolled, it scraped against some other rocks.
So hard, that it created sparks which fell to the nearby grass and trees! It did not take long
for the foliage to catch fire and start to spread up the hill! Spike was freeing Ducky and they
did not notice until she was out!
"Quick! Run up the hill!" she yelled! Spike picked up the baby and they ran up to
the top. But they found that the path was already blocked with fire! They started to back up,
but they grass behind them was soon blazing as well!
"There is no way out! No, no, no!" Ducky exclaimed! Just as the flames crept up
around them, Spike saw a hole in the ground. He picked up Ducky on his mouth and
dropped her down it. He dropped the baby down and then, he started through as well. He
almost got stuck but he made it through just as the flames engulfed the entrance...
Littlefoot and Ali were both starting to come round back at the mountain. Ali was
able to stand, but limped a little due to her injuries. Littlefoot was able to walk perfectly but
the wounds made him wince a bit.
"Are you alright?" Littlefoot asked Ali.
"Yeah I'm okay. How about you?" she asked him.
"Could be worse, I guess." he replied. The atmosphere between them was
uncomfortable. Before, the others had been there to distract them from each other. But now
they were alone, it was awkward. Littlefoot remembered how he had felt outside when Ali
was unconscious. He decided to tell her what he had realised.
"Ali. You remember how I said that I wasn't sure if I loved you or not?" he asked her.
"Littlefoot, I don't want to start this again!" she said, irritated.
"No, you don't understand...I love you." he said. Ali eyes widened in surprise.
"You love me?" she asked, not believing it. Littlefoot nodded.
"Yes I do." he said as they moved into a kiss...
Despite their fall, Petrie and Cera were okay. They had landed on the Sharptooth,
cushioning their blow and saving their lives. The Sharptooth died.
"Where are we?" Petrie asked, looking around. Cera looked around the cavern too.
"I think we're in the underground." she answered. She wanted to get away from the
Sharptooth as quick as possible. The last time she was in the underground with a
supposedly dead Sharptooth, she had almost been killed. Petrie glanced up at the hole they
had fallen through. It was too high for him to fly up to, being so small.
"We got other way me guess. We can't go that way." he said. Cera agreed and they
made their way down a smaller tunnel...
Ducky, Spike and the Hollow-Hon were also moving a small tunnel. As they went,
Ducky began to notice something.
"That is strange. We are moving further away from the fire, but it's getting even
hotter than it was before. It is." she said. Spike nodded in agreement. As they walked on,
they found that the tunnel was connected to a larger one. The moved into this new tunnel but
stopped when they heard a strange rumbling sound.
"Spike, is that your tummy this time?" asked Ducky. Spike shook his head.
"I was afraid of that." she sighed. They looked straight ahead to see lava rushing
towards them! They turned around and ran back down the other way of what had turned
out to be a lava tunnel...
Littlefoot and Ali were happily walking along through their tunnel. They didn't know
it yet, but they were moving through the main lava tunnel that branched out into many more.
Ducky, Spike and the Hollow-Horn were in another one. It was not long before lava started
to run toward Littlefoot and Ali too!
"Run for it!" Littlefoot cried! They, like the others had, turned and ran!
"Littlefoot, we can't go back this way!" Ali yelled, still limping slightly.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Because the Sharptooth might still be waiting for us!" she yelled. Littlefoot knew
she was right but they couldn't just turn around and head back to the lava!
"You're right! But with the Sharptooth, we have a better chance!" he yelled to her.
As they ran, Ali spotted another tunnel that branched off from them. It was at a sharp angle
so no lava would go up there.
"In there! Quick!" she yelled, pointing toward the corner. They both turned in and
managed to evade the lava!
"That was close one." Littlefoot said. They started to make their way up the tunnel.
But after about half an hour, They were surprised to hear screaming.
"That's weird." Littlefoot said.
"Hey. That sounds like Ducky." Ali replied. After a few seconds, Ducky, Spike and
the Hollow-Horn came around the corner with lava coming up behind them!
"Run, run, run!" Ducky screamed.
"Oh no! Not again!" Littlefoot exclaimed. The five of them ran on and quickly
climbed up onto a ledge that was jutting out from the wall. They were in deep trouble! It
would not take long for the lava to reach their level...
Cera and Petrie followed their tunnel onward and reached a dead end.
"What we do now?" asked Petrie. Cera put her ear to the wall. She could hear the
voices of Littlefoot and the others behind it!
"Hey! I can hear the others on the other side of this wall! And it sounds like they're
in trouble!" she exclaimed. Petrie had an idea! He flew over to the wall and started to shout
loudly to the others...
Meanwhile, on the other side, The kids were desperately trying to climb higher. But
the ledge didn't go any further! Suddenly, Ali heard something coming from the other side of
the wall.
"Hey guys, listen!" she yelled to them. They all put their ears to the wall and it was
not long before they heard Petrie's voice.
"LITTLEFOOT! ALI! DUCKY! CAN YOU HERE ME?" he yelled to them.
"We hear you Petrie!" Littlefoot yelled back. On the other side of the wall, Petrie
told Cera that the others could hear him.
"If they hear Petrie through stone wall, that means wall real thin. You could break
through it easily!" he told her.
"That might just work!" Cera exclaimed. "Everybody get away from the wall! I'm
going to knock it down!" she told the others. As she ran at the wall, she heard Littlefoot's
voice saying: "NO WAIT! DON'T!" But it was too late! She broke through and almost
went off the edge into the lava! Luckily, Littlefoot and Spike managed to grab her in time!
"I told you to wait." Littlefoot said.
"Yeah well I was already running before you said anything!" she replied. They were
all about to go through the hole Cera had created, but rocks started to fall from the roof,
blocking their escape!
"Looks like our luck is still holding out." Littlefoot said to Ali, sarcastically. Even so,
enough rocks fell from the roof to create a small opening leading up through the roof!
"Everybody, climb through!" Littlefoot yelled. Petrie flew up first. Then Littlefoot
helped Ducky up. Then Cera and Spike followed behind. Littlefoot and Ali passed the
Hollow-Horn up to them and then they both went up to. Littlefoot and Spike quickly pushed
some large rocks over the hole to stop lava getting out. Littlefoot looked down the side of
the volcano to see the Sharptooth still waiting at the entrance. However, the lava suddenly
came pouring through the hole, engulfing the Sharptooth and killing it!
"Come on guys! Let's get off this mountain before it blows up again!" he called to
them as they started to run back to the farwalker's trail...
After a few days more of travelling, the kids saw a group of mixed dinosaurs, a few
hundred meteres in front of them!
"Ali, I think that's the farwalker's herd!" Littlefoot whispered to her. Ali was so
happy that she almost kissed Littlefoot! But then she remembered that the others were right
next to them. Littlefoot told everyone else and, filled with new energy, ran to catch up with
the herd! They ran up to the front where the leader was.
"Who are you? You're not from our herd." he said to them.
"We know. But when you left the Great Valley some time ago, you were attacked
by Sharpteeth and yo lost a few members of your herd right?" Littlefoot said to him.
"Please.We just want to forget about that horrible experience." the leader said.
"Well who can blame you, but it's good news. We've brought you one of the baby
Hollow-Horns that you had lost." Littlefoot replied. Suddenly an adult Hollow-Horn made
her way through the crowd.
"My baby! You found my baby!" she cried. The kids felt happy to have returned hr
child. Turning down any offer of reward, the six of them left. Now that they didn't have to
carry a baby with them, they were able to move faster.
A few days later, the council had finally come to a decision. They decided to send a
few adults out to find the kids. Littlefoot's Grandpa went along along with Cera's dad and a
few Longnecks from Ali's old heard.
The kids were in high spirits. They were in sight of the valley. They were on the
home stretch. Or so they thought! They had forgotten that when they had been separated by
the three Sharpteeth, only two had died. One was still alive! And it wanted revenge! The
kids were moving through the wastelands which surround the valley when the Sharptooth
jumped in front of them! Screaming, the kids started to run. The Sharptooth had blocked the
way to the valley so they were trapped outside! The Sharptooth floored Littlefoot and
prepared to kill him! The others continously threw rocks at the Sharptooth to try and
distract it, but it didn't work! Luckily, the adults arrived just in time to push the Sharptooth
away! Littlefoot's Grandpa attacked it with his tail! While distracted, Cera's dad was able
to attacked it from the side, and push that Sharptooth down into a gorge! Free of danger,
the kids were taken home. Their families were relieved that they were not too badly hurt, but
they were angry with them for running off like that. They were all punished but Ali didn't
mind. "It's worth it for finally getting to be with Littlefoot." She thought as she went to
bed that night...
The End
Littlefoot walked backed to his nest, feeling terrible. Ali had gone out on a limb to tell him
her feelings and he had rejected her. "I did NOT reject her, I just told her that I didn't
KNOW if I like her that way or not." He kept telling himself over and over, in his mind.
He didn't know what to do. He knew he couldn't just force himself to love her. By this time,
he had reached his nest, so he decided to deal with this in the morning. He just hoped that
his relationship with Ali wouldn't be affected by all of this...
Ali didn't go back to her nest right away. She didn't want to have to answer
questions to her mother about why she had been crying. She soon found herself by the
nesting grounds of the farwalkers. Despite all of the Clubtail chaos, the Old-One had
decided to stay in the Great Valley. Ali sat on a rock near a family of Hollow-Horns to wait
for her eyes to dry. Then, she would head back to her nest. She watched as the mother and
father of the family kissed and hugged. Ali felt another pang of sadness. She kept asking
herself why she couldn't have that with Littlefoot. In the end, she decided to head back
before her mother started to worry. She had no idea of how she could ever hope to get any
sleep tonight...
Things didn't go well the next day. Littlefoot was trying to find Ali so they could
straighten things out and Ali didn't want to see anybody, so Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike
were confused about them.
"Where are they? We agreed to meet here just after we got back to the valley
yesterday." Cera said.
"Maybe they no feel like playing today." Petrie said.
"Then there must be something wrong. There must." Ducky realised.
"Wonder what it is." Cera said. In the end they decided to play without the two of
them.
By the next day, Ali was ready to face the others. Littlefoot though, was still looking
for her so he was nowhere in sight.
"Where were you yesterday?" Cera asked her.
"My mother wasn't feeling so good so I had to stay at home." she replied, using the
excuse she had been preparing.
"Do you where Littlefoot is?" asked Ducky. Ali worked hard not to show any tears.
"No. Why?"
"He no show up yesterday either." Petrie squawked. "He must've been looking
for me." Thought Ali. She didn't say this to the others though because she didn't what them
to know what had happened. She just said that she didn't know where he was. So the five
of them played without him. Ali found that playing with the others actually took her mind off
Littlefoot.
Littlefoot was watching the others play from the nearby trees. He couldn't talk to Ali
with everyone else watching. It would be too difficult with everyone watching. He decided
to wait until they had to go home and then he would confront her. Unfortunately, his
Grandma called so he had to leave right away.
That evening, the farwalkers were getting ready to leave the valley. Littlefoot was
watching them go. As the Hollow-Horns went out of the valley, a large roar sounded outside
of the valley! Littlefoot looked through the hole and saw that a Sharptooth was attacking the
heard! It charged toward a very old member of the herd and in the process knocked a baby
Hollow-Horn against some sharp rocks! Littlefoot knew that nothing could be done for the
old one, but that young one was hurt badly! He quickly ran and managed to drag the baby
back into the valley.
Littlefoot saw Ali walking near by. He knew they had problems, but this was an emergency!
"Ali, come over here!" he called to her. Ali was about to run off, but when she
heard the roars just outside, she knew that something was very wrong! She rushed over and
saw the Hollow-Horn lying on it's back, wounded.
"I need you to tell the adults that a Sharptooth is attacking the farwalkers." Littlefoot
told her.
"Right!" she nodded and ran off in the direction of her nest. "Well, at least this
might help our friendship a bit." Littlefoot thought. It wasn't long before Ali came back
with some Threehorns, Spiketails and Clubtails. They all charged through the hole and
started to attack the Sharptooth. Since it was one against many, The Sharptooth was easily
defeated. Littlefoot's grandparents took the baby Hollow-Horn to a lake to bathe it's
wounds.
"Is it gonna be okay?" asked Littlefoot.
"I think it should be just fine." his Grandpa said.
"That's a relief." Ali sighed.
"Littlefoot, go and find the farwalkers and tell where their baby is." his
Grandma said. Littlefoot nodded and ran off. Ali was happy that she and Littlefoot were
talking again, but she decided to stay with the baby. It wasn't long before Littlefoot
returned.
"They left the valley! They must've thought that this kid was killed by the Sharptooth
and decided to get out of here before they get attacked again! I would've gone after them,
but they've already made too much distance!" Littlefoot said, slightly out of breath.
"What'll we do?" Ali asked.
"We'll have to let the council decide what to do tomorrow." Littlefoot's Grandpa
said. He and Littlefoot's Grandma walked away, taking the Hollow-Horn with them.
"The council takes too long to decide things." Littlefoot said.
"You're right. If someone doesn't leave now, they'll get too far away." Ali said.
"Okay, lets find Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike and get after that herd." Littlefoot
said.
"We can't leave now! It's almost dark. We won't be able to see Sharpteeth!" Ali
pointed out.
"You're right. We'll leave tomorrow." Littlefoot decided. Ali agreed and they each
went home for the night. Ali was excited. It looked like things were finally going well with
Littlefoot. Tomorrow, it would be just like old times with the group leaving the valley on a
dangerous adventure. She just hoped that things would still be okay after the adventure...
Early next morning, the six dinosaurs met on Peace-keeper's Ledge. Littlefoot and
Ali filled them in on what had happened.
"So, we have to follow that herd to reunite them with the baby." Ali finished up.
"But there is a problem," said Littlefoot, "I'm not sure if taking the baby Hollow-
Horn on a long journey with us is such a good idea."
"We could just catch up to them and tell them where the baby is. Yep, yep, yep!"
Ducky said.
"I don't think they would turn the whole herd around and put it in danger for one
individual." Cera said.
"So we just give baby to them when they pass by next year." Petrie said.
"No." Littlefoot said, " We can't separate the baby from it's family for a year.
Besides, the longer it stays in one place, the harder it will be for it to get used to migration
again."
"You right." Petrie agreed. They tried to decide on the best way to get the baby
back to the herd and finally decided that it was best take the baby with them. Littlefoot and
Spike retrieved the baby from Littlefoot's nest, where it was sleeping and met the others at
the South pass. The baby was draped over Spike's back, as it was still too weak to walk.
One by one, the kids went through the hole and out of the valley...
As Ali had the most experience of travelling around, she led the group because all
migratory herds followed the same path. These travellers would be heading back to the
lands that they only left to escape white-ground-sparkles. Of course, danger was never far
from the group when they left the valley. The kids were walking through a small quarry.
Cera heard a faint rumbling sound.
"Hey guys, I can here a strange rumbling noise." she said.
"Maybe it is Spike's tummy." Ducky joked. Everyone except Cera laughed.
"I'm not kidding! I definitely heard something" she insisted. Everyone listened.
"Me no hear anything." Petrie said. Suddenly, rocks began to fall all around them as
a rockslide began!
"I'll bet you heard THAT!" Ali yelled! As the rocks fell, the kids ran through the
quarry, zigzagging left and right! As the rockslides finally came to a halt, the kids realised
that the group had been split up...
In the Great valley, Littlefoot's grandparents could not find Littlefoot anywhere.
They had also noticed that the baby was missing too.
"He and his friends must've taken the Hollow-Horn in a bid to return it to it's
family." Littlefoot's Grandma said.
"You're right. We must tell the council about this." Littlefoot's Grandpa agreed.
They both knew that Littlefoot and his friends had been lucky in the past when they left the
valley, but sooner or later, their luck could run out...
With the rocks blocking the kids off, they had been split into groups. The groups
were Littlefoot, the Hollow-Horn and Spike, Cera and Ali and Petrie and Ducky. During the
rockslide, Littlefoot, the Hollow-Horn and Spike had taken refuge inside a cave. But the
rocks had blocked up the entrance leaving them trapped inside.
"Great! Looks like we're gonna have to find another way out of here!" Littlefoot
sighed. Spike nodded in agreement as they journeyed through the cavern. As neither Spike
nor the baby could talk, Littlefoot had more time with his thoughts, which slowly trailed back
to his problem with Ali. He did feel that he was getting closer to her, but not enough to be in
love with her. Suddenly, he was distracted from his thoughts by a pack of Dome-Heads
(Pacyhcephlasaurus)! The five hard-headed dinosaurs were closing in around the three kids.
"We're in trouble now!" thought Littlefoot. One of0 them charged at the group!
"Jump!" yelled Littlefoot. They managed to get out the way. This went the same way
for some time. The Dome-Heads never caught on because of their tiny brains. The ground
started to shake as a violent earthquake started!
"Oh, an earthshake! My day just keeps getting better, and better!" said Littlefoot,
sarcastically. As rocks started to rain down on them, an exit was blown open! Spike saw
and managed to get Littlefoot's attention to show him. The two of them ran, carrying the
baby and made it through the gap! The Dome-Heads were not so lucky…
Ali and Cera had been blocked of from the others to find themselves in a desert. Ali
didn't think much about Littlefoot because she had Cera to talk to.
"Where do you think the others are?" asked Cera.
"No idea. But I guess it doesn't matter which way we go seeing as we don't have
the baby with us." Ali replied. As the two carried on, Ali started to notice something.
"Hey Cera, I think we're back on the migratory trail again!" she exclaimed.
"Really? Then we have to find the others and show the right way to go." Cera said.
"Well, I guess we'd better go back the way we came and try and shift some of
those rocks." Ali said. The two of them started back. On the way, Three small Sharpteeth
jumped out from behind a rock! Ali and Cera backed up quickly and started running in
another direction!
"Oh this is all we need!" Cera yelled. The two of them ran through a hole in the
rocks to find themselves in a small area with grass and leaves. As the Sharpteeth came
through, an earthquake began to shake! This was the same earthquake that Littlefoot and
Spike encountered in the cave. Rocks were suddenly blown out from the wall knocking all
the Sharpteeth out! Ali and Cera glanced at the hole in the wall to see Littlefoot, Spike and
the baby standing there...
During this time, Ducky and Petrie had found themselves in the small green place
that the Sharpteeth had chased Ali and Cera into.
"Where are we?" Ducky said aloud.
"Me no, no." Petrie answered. They looked around a bit. As they went around,
Petrie suddenly screamed out loud!
"What is Petrie? Huh?" Ducky cried. She looked over in his direction to find in a tar
pit, sinking fast!
"Get me outta here!" he yelled.
"Stay calm!" Ducky yelled back. She looked around and found a small stick. She
picked it up with some difficulty and managed to drag it over to the pit. She swung it over
the pit directly in front of Petrie!
"Grab the stick, Petrie!" she called! Petrie made quite a few attempts at before
actually reaching it.
"Me got it!" he yelled, holding on tight! Ducky pulled as hard as she could and
finally managed to get him to safety! The two of them kneeled near the swamp, panting.
"Are you okay Petrie? Are you? Huh?" Ducky asked, concerned for her best
friend.
"Me okay. Thanks for saving my life." Petrie panted.
"It was nothing. It was." Ducky replied. Just as they had recovered, the earth
started shaking, Ali and Cera came running in with the Sharpteeth hot on their tails and you
know the rest...
The group, now reunited were following Ali and Cera through the desert on the way
back to the trail. They were all tired, but they couldn't stop. They had lost valuable time
during the earthquake. It soon began to get dark so the kids decided to stop for the night.
The group start to fall asleep, sheltered from wind by some rocks. Soon, the only one
awake was Littlefoot. The longer the adventure went on, the more confused Littlefoot was
about his problem with Ali. He had to think of a solution to the problem. But so far, the only
way to solve this problem was to fall in love with Ali. "How do you fall in love with
somebody?" he thought. "And even if I do manage it, how will know? I've never been
in love before. I don't know how it feels." Thoughts continued to swim around his head,
making him drowsy and he eventually fell asleep...
Littlefoot's grandparents had told the council what had happened. As usual, Cera's
father was yelling at Littlefoot' Grandpa, blaming Littlefoot for the situation as he often did.
As always, the group was arguing over whose plan was better than the others and not
making any progress at all...
The kids were walking along as usual. They thought that they had received their
share of bad luck for this adventure. They were wrong! The quiet around them was
suddenly filled with loud roars!
"Oh no! Sounds like a Sharptooth!" Cera cried. Ducky cocked her head and then
gasped in shock and horror!
"No! It sounds like THREE Sharpteeth! It does!" she yelled. She was right. Three,
large Sharpteeth, one green, one red, one brown, came rampaging around the corner! The
kids ran, screaming for their lives! The Sharpteeth were able to split them up once more and
chased after them...
The green Sharptooth was pursuing Littlefoot and Ali. As they ran, mountains
loomed up ahead.
"When we get to the mountain, climb up it! That should slow the Sharptooth down!"
Littlefoot yelled to Ali! Ali nodded and they started up the hill! As they slipped on the loose
rocks and pebbles, the Sharptooth, although still far behind, used the time they were taking
to catch up! Soon, it was right behind them! They monster drew back it's claws and slashed
at Ali's right-hind leg! She screamed out in pain and fell to the ground. The Sharptooth
slipped and fell down the mountain a bit, but got up and started moving up again, using the
scent of Ali's blood to track them quicker! Littlefoot knew he had to do something fast!
"I've gotta help her! I don't know what I would do if Ali was killed!" he thought. He
pushed a fairly large rock over the hill, which hit the Sharptooth in the eye, buying him some
time! Something suddenly occurred to Littlefoot. "I just said in my mind that I can't live
my life if Ali can't live hers. That means...I do love Ali!" he thought. Although he was
startled by his revelation, he didn't have time to think. Ali had passed out and was in serious
need of help! Littlefoot scanned the mountain quickly. There was a fairly small hole near
them. If Littlefoot could get Ali and himself into it, they would be safe from the Sharptooth!
He started to push Ali toward the hole. The Sharptooth was almost right behind him! He
pushed Ali inside and prepared to jump in himself! But he was too late! The Sarptooth
slashed across the back leaving him with two searing wounds! Not having time to cry out, he
jumped through the hole and landed beside Ali, leaving the Sharptooth outside! Too
exhausted to even check the surroundings, Littlefoot collapsed next to Ali and passed out...
Cera and Petrie were running through the rocky terrain being chased by the red
Sharptooth! Just as it looked like things couldn't get worse, they did! A violent earthquake
shook the land hard!
"It just keeps getting worse!" Cera yelled. As they ran, a gorge split open across
their path! The were about to jump, but the Sharptooth caught up and knocked them down
into the horrors below...
Spike, Ducky and the Hollow-Horn were on the run from the red Sharptooth!
Ducky spotted a rocky hill nearby and led Spike and the baby upward. As they were
running, Ducky tripped and caught her leg between two stones. She was trapped!
"SPIKE, HELP ME!" she screamed. Spike knew that he would not be able to
reach her in time. He looked around and saw a fairly large boulder nearby. He set the baby
down, ran over to it and started to push against it! The Sharptooth drew closer and closer to
Ducky, drooling with hunger! Spike pushed as hard as he could, but the rock would not
budge! The Sharptooth stamped it's foot hard on the ground and roared loudly! The
vibrations from it's foot, however, were enough to shake the boulder loose! It rolled toward
the Sharptooth and knocked it down! But as it rolled, it scraped against some other rocks.
So hard, that it created sparks which fell to the nearby grass and trees! It did not take long
for the foliage to catch fire and start to spread up the hill! Spike was freeing Ducky and they
did not notice until she was out!
"Quick! Run up the hill!" she yelled! Spike picked up the baby and they ran up to
the top. But they found that the path was already blocked with fire! They started to back up,
but they grass behind them was soon blazing as well!
"There is no way out! No, no, no!" Ducky exclaimed! Just as the flames crept up
around them, Spike saw a hole in the ground. He picked up Ducky on his mouth and
dropped her down it. He dropped the baby down and then, he started through as well. He
almost got stuck but he made it through just as the flames engulfed the entrance...
Littlefoot and Ali were both starting to come round back at the mountain. Ali was
able to stand, but limped a little due to her injuries. Littlefoot was able to walk perfectly but
the wounds made him wince a bit.
"Are you alright?" Littlefoot asked Ali.
"Yeah I'm okay. How about you?" she asked him.
"Could be worse, I guess." he replied. The atmosphere between them was
uncomfortable. Before, the others had been there to distract them from each other. But now
they were alone, it was awkward. Littlefoot remembered how he had felt outside when Ali
was unconscious. He decided to tell her what he had realised.
"Ali. You remember how I said that I wasn't sure if I loved you or not?" he asked her.
"Littlefoot, I don't want to start this again!" she said, irritated.
"No, you don't understand...I love you." he said. Ali eyes widened in surprise.
"You love me?" she asked, not believing it. Littlefoot nodded.
"Yes I do." he said as they moved into a kiss...
Despite their fall, Petrie and Cera were okay. They had landed on the Sharptooth,
cushioning their blow and saving their lives. The Sharptooth died.
"Where are we?" Petrie asked, looking around. Cera looked around the cavern too.
"I think we're in the underground." she answered. She wanted to get away from the
Sharptooth as quick as possible. The last time she was in the underground with a
supposedly dead Sharptooth, she had almost been killed. Petrie glanced up at the hole they
had fallen through. It was too high for him to fly up to, being so small.
"We got other way me guess. We can't go that way." he said. Cera agreed and they
made their way down a smaller tunnel...
Ducky, Spike and the Hollow-Hon were also moving a small tunnel. As they went,
Ducky began to notice something.
"That is strange. We are moving further away from the fire, but it's getting even
hotter than it was before. It is." she said. Spike nodded in agreement. As they walked on,
they found that the tunnel was connected to a larger one. The moved into this new tunnel but
stopped when they heard a strange rumbling sound.
"Spike, is that your tummy this time?" asked Ducky. Spike shook his head.
"I was afraid of that." she sighed. They looked straight ahead to see lava rushing
towards them! They turned around and ran back down the other way of what had turned
out to be a lava tunnel...
Littlefoot and Ali were happily walking along through their tunnel. They didn't know
it yet, but they were moving through the main lava tunnel that branched out into many more.
Ducky, Spike and the Hollow-Horn were in another one. It was not long before lava started
to run toward Littlefoot and Ali too!
"Run for it!" Littlefoot cried! They, like the others had, turned and ran!
"Littlefoot, we can't go back this way!" Ali yelled, still limping slightly.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Because the Sharptooth might still be waiting for us!" she yelled. Littlefoot knew
she was right but they couldn't just turn around and head back to the lava!
"You're right! But with the Sharptooth, we have a better chance!" he yelled to her.
As they ran, Ali spotted another tunnel that branched off from them. It was at a sharp angle
so no lava would go up there.
"In there! Quick!" she yelled, pointing toward the corner. They both turned in and
managed to evade the lava!
"That was close one." Littlefoot said. They started to make their way up the tunnel.
But after about half an hour, They were surprised to hear screaming.
"That's weird." Littlefoot said.
"Hey. That sounds like Ducky." Ali replied. After a few seconds, Ducky, Spike and
the Hollow-Horn came around the corner with lava coming up behind them!
"Run, run, run!" Ducky screamed.
"Oh no! Not again!" Littlefoot exclaimed. The five of them ran on and quickly
climbed up onto a ledge that was jutting out from the wall. They were in deep trouble! It
would not take long for the lava to reach their level...
Cera and Petrie followed their tunnel onward and reached a dead end.
"What we do now?" asked Petrie. Cera put her ear to the wall. She could hear the
voices of Littlefoot and the others behind it!
"Hey! I can hear the others on the other side of this wall! And it sounds like they're
in trouble!" she exclaimed. Petrie had an idea! He flew over to the wall and started to shout
loudly to the others...
Meanwhile, on the other side, The kids were desperately trying to climb higher. But
the ledge didn't go any further! Suddenly, Ali heard something coming from the other side of
the wall.
"Hey guys, listen!" she yelled to them. They all put their ears to the wall and it was
not long before they heard Petrie's voice.
"LITTLEFOOT! ALI! DUCKY! CAN YOU HERE ME?" he yelled to them.
"We hear you Petrie!" Littlefoot yelled back. On the other side of the wall, Petrie
told Cera that the others could hear him.
"If they hear Petrie through stone wall, that means wall real thin. You could break
through it easily!" he told her.
"That might just work!" Cera exclaimed. "Everybody get away from the wall! I'm
going to knock it down!" she told the others. As she ran at the wall, she heard Littlefoot's
voice saying: "NO WAIT! DON'T!" But it was too late! She broke through and almost
went off the edge into the lava! Luckily, Littlefoot and Spike managed to grab her in time!
"I told you to wait." Littlefoot said.
"Yeah well I was already running before you said anything!" she replied. They were
all about to go through the hole Cera had created, but rocks started to fall from the roof,
blocking their escape!
"Looks like our luck is still holding out." Littlefoot said to Ali, sarcastically. Even so,
enough rocks fell from the roof to create a small opening leading up through the roof!
"Everybody, climb through!" Littlefoot yelled. Petrie flew up first. Then Littlefoot
helped Ducky up. Then Cera and Spike followed behind. Littlefoot and Ali passed the
Hollow-Horn up to them and then they both went up to. Littlefoot and Spike quickly pushed
some large rocks over the hole to stop lava getting out. Littlefoot looked down the side of
the volcano to see the Sharptooth still waiting at the entrance. However, the lava suddenly
came pouring through the hole, engulfing the Sharptooth and killing it!
"Come on guys! Let's get off this mountain before it blows up again!" he called to
them as they started to run back to the farwalker's trail...
After a few days more of travelling, the kids saw a group of mixed dinosaurs, a few
hundred meteres in front of them!
"Ali, I think that's the farwalker's herd!" Littlefoot whispered to her. Ali was so
happy that she almost kissed Littlefoot! But then she remembered that the others were right
next to them. Littlefoot told everyone else and, filled with new energy, ran to catch up with
the herd! They ran up to the front where the leader was.
"Who are you? You're not from our herd." he said to them.
"We know. But when you left the Great Valley some time ago, you were attacked
by Sharpteeth and yo lost a few members of your herd right?" Littlefoot said to him.
"Please.We just want to forget about that horrible experience." the leader said.
"Well who can blame you, but it's good news. We've brought you one of the baby
Hollow-Horns that you had lost." Littlefoot replied. Suddenly an adult Hollow-Horn made
her way through the crowd.
"My baby! You found my baby!" she cried. The kids felt happy to have returned hr
child. Turning down any offer of reward, the six of them left. Now that they didn't have to
carry a baby with them, they were able to move faster.
A few days later, the council had finally come to a decision. They decided to send a
few adults out to find the kids. Littlefoot's Grandpa went along along with Cera's dad and a
few Longnecks from Ali's old heard.
The kids were in high spirits. They were in sight of the valley. They were on the
home stretch. Or so they thought! They had forgotten that when they had been separated by
the three Sharpteeth, only two had died. One was still alive! And it wanted revenge! The
kids were moving through the wastelands which surround the valley when the Sharptooth
jumped in front of them! Screaming, the kids started to run. The Sharptooth had blocked the
way to the valley so they were trapped outside! The Sharptooth floored Littlefoot and
prepared to kill him! The others continously threw rocks at the Sharptooth to try and
distract it, but it didn't work! Luckily, the adults arrived just in time to push the Sharptooth
away! Littlefoot's Grandpa attacked it with his tail! While distracted, Cera's dad was able
to attacked it from the side, and push that Sharptooth down into a gorge! Free of danger,
the kids were taken home. Their families were relieved that they were not too badly hurt, but
they were angry with them for running off like that. They were all punished but Ali didn't
mind. "It's worth it for finally getting to be with Littlefoot." She thought as she went to
bed that night...
The End
