Chapter Three
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seven cold seasons had passed since Littlefoot's departure. Many things had changed in the Great Valley since then.
None of the 'old gang' talked anymore aside from Ducky and Spike.
Cera had a reputation of being a bully now that she hung around with Hip and his group. She was taller now and had growing two sharp horns above her eyes. Her father was still as strict but didn't pay as much attention to her anymore.
Petrie had taking to hang around with other flyers, including his uncle Pterano, who came back not too long ago after his exile was finished. Petrie was always seen flying and laughing with all his friends. He was almost fully grown now.
Ducky grew quiet a bit to and was always seen with Spike and her brothers and sisters, but she also went around with other nice dinosaurs. She was an even better swimmer then before, which nobody thought was possible.
Spike had also grown a lot. He has spikes and plates now, and he could also talk! He still eats a lot, and doesn't have much to say to anyone anyways. He's protective over Ducky and they're almost always seen together like before.
The grownups were basically the same, although Grandma and Grandpa were starting to slip farther from everyone else. All of them still had one thing in common despite all their differences...they all doubted Littlefoot would ever return.
Although they didn't know how wrong they were...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About 10 miles away from the walls of the Great Valley a herd of Longnecks were taking a break from their long journey through the Mysterious Beyond.
Bron stared at the rest of his herd with concern, there were many old ones now and they could not travel for much longer. He also didn't want to leave them for death.
He looked over at his son, to see him sleeping in a small group with Ali and Shorty. He slowly trudged over and nudged him a bit.
Littlefoot yawned and opened his eyes, then looked up at his dad and said, "Yeah?"
"Come with me for a minute," Bron said.
Littlefoot got up and followed Bron a little away from the group. Then Bron turned to Littlefoot and looked him over for a minute.
Littlefoot had grown a lot; the top of his head was just past Bron's back. Ali and Shorty were a little shorter though. His color had also darkened so he was part tanned, part copper and part bronze.
"Littlefoot, we need to go to a place where the old ones can finally stop traveling and feel safe. I think we both know where I'm talking about," Bron said.
Littlefoot nodded and said, "The Great Valley."
"Yes," Bron said.
There was along pause between the two and Bron said, "You know, you're name doesn't really suit you anymore, and Shorty's doesn't describe him either."
Littlefoot just smiled and said, "I want to be Littlefoot, because its what mom named me."
"Understandable, I bet Shorty feels the same," Bron said.
"Yeah, want me to wake everyone up, the Great Valley isn't that far from here. In fact...see those hills in the distance?" Littlefoot asked.
"Yes," Bron said.
"Well if I remember right, that's the walls of the Great Valley," Littlefoot said.
"Well might as well get going, wake your friends up," Bron said and moved to the rest of the herd.
Littlefoot went over to his friends then nuzzled Ali and said, "Wake up."
She opened her eyes, yawned and stood up, then said, "What now?"
Ali was also very tall now, although she was shorter then Littlefoot. Her colors had changed greatly too. She was Lavender, Medium Purple, and a Dark Violet when before she had a brownish tint to her.
"We're going to the Great Valley," Littlefoot said then whipped Shorty with his tail.
"Ouch!" Shorty yelled and woke up with a grumpy look on his face. The two male Longnecks were really like real brothers now, aside from the fact that they weren't related.
Shorty was a little taller then Ali, not much though, and he had turned a dark green with a bit of lighter green on it, but even that wasn't light, but then his belly was white and stood out a lot.
"Oh you never whip Ali to get her up," Shorty teased him, just getting a laugh from his 'brother'.
"Alright everyone!" Bron said now that everyone was awake, "We're going to the Great Valley. Anyone who doesn't think they have it in them to keep traveling, or anyone who doesn't want to can also stay there, I know you'll be welcomed."
Everyone seemed excited, a few glanced at Littlefoot curiously.
"Although," Bron continued, "I don't know the way there from here."
That got a few angry comments and much disappointment.
"So, Littlefoot will be leading us," Bron said.
Littlefoot looked taking back, and then Ali nudged him and said, "Lets get moving. And don't say you don't know this area. We've been through here before. Remember? When we went to the Valley of Mists?"
He sighed then said, "Everyone follow me."
They all started walking towards the Great Valley with Littlefoot in the lead. Ali was on his right side and Shorty was on his left, Bron followed close behind.
"How much do you think everyone's changed?" Ali asked.
"A lot, considering how much we have," Shorty said.
Ali looked confused for a minute then remembered being told that Shorty had met Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike before.
"Well, Cera probably has her horns. Petrie'd be almost fully grown, Ducky would be much taller, and Spike probably has all his plates and spikes...wonder if he can talk now?" Littlefoot asked no one in particular.
No one, out of that huge group, noticed a shadow following them in the distance, no one knew how they were leading something...something that could cause the destruction of the Great Valley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Grandpa Longneck! Grandma Longneck!"
The two looked up, startled, that was the first time in along time they had been called that, and they recognized the voice as Petrie's, one they hadn't heard for awhile.
"Petrie, how nice to see you again," Grandpa said.
Petrie was panting from his long, fast fly from the Great Wall. He hadn't stopped to tell anyone else what she saw, but many around them, including Cera's father, stared at them.
"There's a herd of Longnecks coming this way," Petrie said between gasps for air.
The dinosaurs around them broke into whispers. The two Longnecks looked surprised.
"Are you sure?" Daddy Tops asked.
"Yes, me sure," Petrie said.
"Let's go greet them," Grandpa said, and they all started walking towards the Great Wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Littlefoot took a deep breath. His father had taken the lead again.
"What's wrong?" Ali asked. Shorty was a bit ahead of them.
"I'm just nervous," Littlefoot admitted, and then realized something, "It's almost night."
"Yes, we'll be sleeping inside the Valley at the walls, we went in the back way so I'm sure It'll take anyone a little while to get to us," Bron said as they all finished climbing over the wall.
There were many whispers of awe, and Littlefoot stared nervously at the home he had left so many moons ago.
"We rest, and then we'll continue on once we get to there," Bron said, nodding to the bottom of the cliffs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the sun, or the bright circle, slowly raised in the sky, the Littlefoot's grandparents, his old friends, and their family started making their way to the herd of Longnecks.
"Do you think Littlefoot's with them?" Ducky asked Spike.
"Maybe," He said in his whispering voice.
Meanwhile Bron woke up, he knew there were dinosaurs coming their way.
Glancing around the group he had to smile seeing Littlefoot and Ali sleeping closer together, and nudged his son.
Littlefoot woke up and yawned, waking Ali and Shorty in the process.
They all got up, the rest of the herd waking up soon later and they all stood, waiting for other dinosaurs to notice them, not wanting to intrude.
Soon they came into view, and Littlefoot gulped, seeing they were his friends, their families and his grandparents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh! What's gonna happen now? Well next chapter will be up soon...but don't ask where this is going cause I have no clue once o every.
This is probably really stupid, but oh well...its just a start for me...and there will be flashbacks saying what happened to Littlefoot and his two Longneck friends (Ali and Shorty) for the past 7 years.
