Land Before Time XI

Chapter Four
OK just take note, I know what I said in the last chapter with height of Littlefoot and Ali, but I decided I didn't want them to grow up so fast, instead I'm making them shrink some (LOL) The top of Littlefoot's head is a few meters below the top of his dad's leg...you'll see why later on. And I think you can kind guess what the height of the others would be...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello, welcome to the Great Valley," Ducky and Spike's mom said in a warm voice. Her eyes were scanning the crowd, but she didn't recognize Littlefoot at all, even though she had stared at him...especially since she was staring up at him now.
"Bron," Grandpa Longneck said and walked forwards.
"Hello Papa Longneck," Bron said to him.
Littlefoot felt terrified as he looked everyone over from his semi-tall view. All his friends looked smaller to him now, but he could tell they were bigger, and that they didn't know it was him standing in front of them.
Ali nudged him a bit and smiled, then said, "Don't worry bout it."
Bron notice the Longnecks staring sadly at the herd, they didn't think he was there.
He nudged his son with his tail and gave him a pointed look.
Littlefoot took a deep breath and was about to say something but nothing came out.
Ali rolled her eyes at him.
"Thank you for welcoming us to your valley, I was hoping, if it's not to much trouble, if the ones who wanted to stay here could?" Bron asked.
"Certainly," Grandpa Longneck said before Daddy Tops could say anything.
Cera made a funny noise and looked at her new friends well shaking her head.
Ali noticed this, and then whispered to Littlefoot, "I'll introduce myself, and then you can."
"Alright," He whispered back.
She caught Bron's eye, and he nodded, the herd was staring to split up to get their fill of food.
Ali cleared her throat then said, "Hi, I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Ali."
Ali and Littlefoot weren't huge Longnecks yet, but they were taller then the other ones...then again they always had been.
"Ali?" Grandma Longneck said slowly. Her eyes turned to Littlefoot and for a moment she thought it was her long lost grandson, but she pushed away that idea. If it was him he would have told them by now...right?
Ali nodded her head and smiled at them.
Cera looked over at her old friends, then whispered to the closets one, Spike, "Man, look how much she changed."
"Yeah," Spike whispered back.
"What happened to your old herd?" Three-Horn demanded.
It was Ali who took a deep breath this time and Littlefoot giving her an encouraging smile.
"They were all killed about seven years ago," Ali said sadly.
"Oh poor dear," Grandma Longneck said.
"You may stay as long as you wish Bron," Grandpa Longneck said.
"It won't be for long, we will probably be leaving in about three days," Bron informed them.
They all nodded, and slowly everyone went back to what they were doing before the Longnecks came.
Bron shot his son a look then as Littlefoot's Grandparents walked away sadly he said, "Why didn't you say anything?"
"I don't know, I guess...I didn't want them to be sad when I leave again," Littlefoot said honestly.
Bron sighed and said, "You're still young, you'll learn one of these days." With that he walked towards the forest to get something to eat.
"Come Littlefoot, why don't you show us around?" Ali said, referring to her and Shorty.
"Yeah, sure, who knows it might be fun," Littlefoot said and started walking, they followed him closely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hip laughed as he threw a rock at a baby Longneck he didn't know. Cera, Nod and Mutt also laughed at that.
The little Longneck's green eyes welded up with tears, causing them to laugh harder. This is Cera went to throw a rock at it.
Just then Littlefoot stepped in front of the baby, getting hit by the sharp rock himself.
He didn't even look at the small gash in his leg when he said, "Cera stop it! He didn't do anything to you."
"Who are you to say anything?" Cera snapped, not realizing he had said her name.
"We're in the same herd as him and know both his parents," Ali said walking up beside Littlefoot.
Cera growled then said, "Who asked you Ali?"
Ali shot her a look then nudged the baby Longneck back to where its mother was.
"Stupid Longnecks, thinking they can rule the Valley," Hip muttered.
"Well sorry," Littlefoot snapped then said, "I didn't think you'd ever hurt someone younger then yourself Cera."
"How much did you tell him about me?" Cera snapped at Ali.
"She didn't tell me anything, in fact I told HER about you originally," Littlefoot said.
"What? You never knew me," Cera argued.
"Sure I did. And I know Hip, Nod and Mutt," Littlefoot said well nodding to the other three there.
"How do you know that? I thought Longnecks were supposed have small brains," Hip said.
Cera had a feeling of dejavu, but said nothing.
"Forget it," Littlefoot muttered.
"Stupid," Cera muttered.
Ali shot her a look and then said without realizing it, "Come on Littlefoot, let's go."
Littlefoot nodded, also not realizing she had said his name and turned around walking the same direction as her.
Cera's mouth fell open and it was confirmed as he said, "Hey, where'd Shorty go?"
"Littlefoot?" She muttered, and saw the shocked look on Mutt and Hip's faces. She guessed hers must have looked like that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What you want Cera?" Petrie asked as he settled down on a tree branch and yawned. It was late at night when Cera had gathered him, Ducky and Spike. They had all been extremely surprised, none of them had talked for many 'rise and falls of the night circle'. Now she just came and got them like when they were little kids, like they had always been friends and nothing had changed.
"You know Ali's back right?" Cera said.
"Yup, yup," Ducky said.
"And Littlefoot's dad?" She continued.
"Yeah?" Spike mumbled.
"Do you know who that green Longneck that's a little taller then Ali is?" Cera pressed on.
"No," Petrie said.
"It's Shorty!" She said.
There was a pause then Ducky said, "Is that what you wanted is for?"
"Well no, I just wanted to add that. But you know that Brownish colored Longneck that Ali is ALWAYS with?" Cera asked.
"No, who is he?" Spike said well yawning.
"His name is Littlefoot, I heard Ali say it," Cera said, that caught everyone's attention.
"You serious?" Petrie asked.
"Yeah, come on, lets go wake him up and I'll prove it," Cera said and started to lead the way to the temporary nesting grounds for the Longnecks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where they be?" Petrie asked, there were so many Longnecks.
"Look for Littlefoot's dad," Cera hissed. They quietly walked across the ground.
"Look, look," Ducky said quietly.
They all looked in the direction she was pointing to see Littlefoot, Ali and Stomp all sleeping in the same area.
"Me no think we should wake them," Petrie said in a harsh whisper.
"I agree with Petrie, I do," Ducky whispered.
"Spike no!" Cera said as he almost woke up a Longneck.
He turned back and stared at her curiously then Cera said, "That's Shorty. I can tell cause he doesn't have a flat head."
Spike looked at the Dinosaur, then realized she was right and said, "Oh. But which one's Littlefoot and which one's Ali? It's too dark to see what color they are."
The others looked at the other too sleeping longnecks, realizing he was right. In the day Littlefoot was mostly a bronze/copper and Ali was mostly a purple, but at night they looked the exact same.
"Umm..." Cera said and looked at the two Longnecks; ones head (Ali) was laying across the others (Littlefoot) neck. She then said, "Who cares? We can just wake both of them up."
Little did they know but Littlefoot woke up from the commotion they were making. Since they were so closed to him he could here them really good.
Ali also opened her eyes and saw his amused face. He started to stand up, and she did too so her head wouldn't hit the ground.
"Could you guys be any louder?" He whispered to them.
"Oops, sorry, we are," Ducky said.
Littlefoot yawned then Ali said, "Fine you obviously wanted to talk to him at least, so let's get away from here so we don't wake Shorty, Bron or anyone else up."
They all started to walk in the direction of Lookout Peek (The place they ran away to in II).
By the time they got there both Longnecks were almost asleep again, having been woken up without much choice.
They both lay down and waited for the others to being talking.
"Alright, basically they wanted proof that your really Littlefoot, and the only way they'd believe me was if they heard it from you," Cera said.
Both Longnecks looked shocked then Littlefoot said, "How did you know? I didn't think anybody would find out!"
"When you protected that baby Longneck, like when you were leaving, Ali said your name," Cera replied.
"Oops," Ali said with a sheepish smile at the joking glare Littlefoot sent her.
"So you are Littlefoot!" Petrie said and hugged his old friend.
"Yup," Littlefoot said.
"Why didn't you want anyone else to know?" Ducky asked, her eyes were wide from shock.
"I didn't want anybody telling my Grandma and Grandpa...although maybe this way is better, can you guys tell them AFTER we leave again? That way they know I'm ok?" Littlefoot asked.
"Why after you leave?" Petrie asked.
"So they won't stop me," Littlefoot said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK I'm done for now, they'll be more for later. And who knows...I MIGHT bring back Chomper too! LOL!
Well catch ya'll later!
