Lan was rollerblading home with Littlefoot riding in his knapsack. Littlefoot poked his head out & looked at him.

"Hey, Lan." Littlefoot asked. "When will we be at your home?"

"Soon." Lan said. Soon enough, they were in front of a white 2-story house with a blue roof & an orange door. Lan turned the knob & opened it. Littlefoot ducked back inside & peeked out through the hole in the zipper. "Hi mom!" Lan shouted. "I'm home!"

"Hello, dear." Lan's mom said. "How was your day?"

"Well, Chaud invited us over to his dad's company & showed us his new gameland, we had lunch, & then I came home." Lan said.

"Okay, sweetie." Lan's mom said. "We're having curry for dinner." Lan went to his room & set his knapsack on his bed, where he opened it & Littlefoot's head popped out. He stared at the inside of Lan's bedroom in amazement.

"Wow, Lan!" Littlefoot shouted in amazement. "Your room is so cool!" Lan sat down on the bed next to Littlefoot, who was climbing out of Lan's backpack.

"Glad you like it." Lan said. Littlefoot curled his legs up & sat next to Lan.

"Hey, Lan." Littlefoot said. "What's that curry stuff your mom's making."

"It's a kind of meat." Lan said. "It's usually served with toppings."

"Like what?" Littlefoot asked. Lan turned his head to the door.

"Hey,mom!" Lan called. "What kind of curry are you making!?"

"Vegetable curry!" Lan's mom called back. "Why do you ask!?"

"Just wondering!" Lan called back & turned to Littlefoot.

"Vegetables are some." Lan said. "Or as you refer to them, green food. I'll share the vegetables with you." Littlefoot got a huge smile.

"Wow, thanks, Lan." Littlefoot said. Meanwhile, Hyp, Nod, Mutt, & Dex were outside a small shop with a bust of Mr. Wily with a cane with a skull handle standing in front of the window. The sign on the front of the store says "No. 1 Curry." On it.

"So, this is the place, huh?" Hyp asked.

"Yep." Dex said. "This is where I currently am. Not much but it does for a sort of temporary home." Dex walks in with Hyp, Nod, & Mutt, & the dinos hear a voice they hoped they'd never hear again.

"Good, you're back." The dinos turned in the direction of the voice & saw MADDY (from the prequel before it was removed).

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! IT'S MADDY!!" Hyp, Nod, & Mutt all shouted & recoiled. They all charged at Maddy, but Dex got in their way.

"Hey, hey, take it easy, guys!" Dex shouted. "They can't hurt us!"

"WHAT!?!?" All 3 shouted at once.

"He's telling the truth" a slightly british voice said. The dinos turned in its direction & saw Count Zap. "After Pharaohman was hit with his own attack, Mr. Wily disappeared."

"He did?" Nod asked.

"Aye." Mr. Match said, who appeared from the kitchen with a large pot of curry said. "Now we gotta run this curry shop in order to get World 3 back on its feet."

"But why's Dex with you?" Hyp asked. "I thought you were his enemies. We saw what Wackoman did to Gutsman."

"'Cause I had to." Maddy said. "I was working with World 3, I was put in charge of it by Pharaohman."

"What's all the noise back there?" They heard Yahoot's voice say. He appeared from the kitchen wearing a big puffy chef's hat & a white apron holding a pot of curry. He saw the 3 dinos & dropped the pot in fright. "What are you doing here!?"

"Long story." Dex said. Meanwhile, Shorty & Raoul were on a plane bound for Netopia, Raoul's home. Shorty was staring out the window in amazement.

"WOW!!" he said. "So this is what it's like to fly in this "plane" thing."

"Pretty amazing, huh." Raoul said.

"You bet, Raoul." Shorty said. "I wish I was a flyer right about now."

"Well, this is the next best thing." Raoul said. "We'll be in Netopia soon."

"Aww, I want this to last longer." Shorty said in discouragement. Raoul chuckled.

"These kids sure are easily amused by modern things." Raoul thought to himself. Meanwhile, Mr. Higsby & Numberman were back at Mr. Higsby's battle chip shop where he sold battle chips to people. He was sitting a bit of a distance from Chomper, who has his head halfway into a large pot of beef curry, they could here him slurping the curry into his mouth.

"Wow, he sure can eat, huh Numberman." Higsby asked his net navi. A graph appeared next to Numberman.

"By my calculations…" Numberman said. "He's already eaten a whole day's supply of curry in 1 whole sitting, & he's still hungry!" Higsby jumped.

"H-how much more meat do we have in the shop!?" Higsby nervously asked his net navi.

"I'm afraid we don't have enough to satisfy his voracious appetite." Numberman said. "He's already eaten most of the meat. All that's left are vegetables."

"Are you 2 afraid I'll eat you?"

Higsby & Numberman turned to see Chomper, with his mouth out of the pot & covered in curry, staring at the human & his net navi. They nervously smiled.

"Wh-whatever gave you that idea?" Higsby said.

"You said so yourself." Chomper said. "I heard you." Higsby & Numberman hung their heads.

"Yes." They both said at once.

"Well don't worry, Mr. Higsby." Chomper said. "I don't eat my friends. I'm friends with Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, & Spike, & I haven't eaten any of them."

"Hmm, good point." Higsby said. "Say, you want any more, curry?"

Chomper yawned. "Nah." He managed to say. "This curry stuff is good & all, but it's starting to make me sleepy. You 2 can have some, it was yours anyway." Chomper then fell asleep. Mr. Higsby & Numberman looked at him.

"I suppose he's right, Numberman." Higsby said. "Friends don't eat friends."

"True." Numberman said. "I've never eaten anybody I know."

"Me either." Higsby said. "I guess Chomper's kind ain't all like what I think people from his time think."

Meanwhile, Maylu & Ali were in Maylu's room. Maylu was busy doing her homework, Ali looked up at her.

"What are you doing?" Ali asked.

"Doing homework." Maylu asked.

"Whatwork?" Ali asked.

"Homework. Work I don't do at school that I finish up at home." Maylu said, which only confused Ali more.

"What's school?" Ali asked.

"Schools a place where kids go to learn things, like how to spell, & where the sun goes at night."

"What's the sun?" Ali asked.

"The big bright thing you see every day." Maylu said.

"You mean the bright circle?" Ali asked.

"Yeah, I guess." Maylu said. After a while, Ali started another conversation.

"Maylu." Ali said. "Do you like Lan?"

Maylu looked down at Ali & smiled. "I like him as a friend. Why do you ask."

"Just wondering." Ali said. Maylu looked back at her homework.

"Well." Maylu said. "Lan is a good kid. But sometimes he just gets under my skin."

Ali's eyes widened in shock. "Does it hurt?" she asked.

"Does what hurt?" Maylu asked.

"When Lan gets under your skin." Ali said. Maylu laughed.

"He doesn't actually get under my skin." Maylu said. "It's just a saying that means he annoys me sometimes."

"Oh." Ali said. "Why didn't you just say that?" Maylu looked at Ali with a smile.

"Boy, you're full of questions for such a little long-neck." Maylu said.

"Well, yeah." Ali said.

"I guess you asked if I like Lan because you like Littlefoot, right?" Maylu asked, causing Ali to blush like a ripe tomato.

"Well…" Ali said.

"Don't worry." Maylu said, & winked. "I can keep a secret."

"Well…" Ali said. "I guess I do think he's kinds cute."

"Well, you don't have to tell him right away, you know." Maylu said. "When you feel the time is right, say what's in your heart & let him know."

"Okay." Ali said. Meanwhile, several waiters walked towards Yai, Ducky, & Spike with a platter with a lid over it. They set it in front of the 3, & 1 of them lifted the lid, revealing 1 large sirloin steak & 2 salads. Next to the plates was 3 glasses beside a pitcher full of pink liquid.

"A sirloin steak for you, Ms. Yai." 1 of the waiters said. "& for your guests, 1 chef's salad each."

"Thank you, James." Yai said, & the waiters all dispersed.

"Wow, Yai." Ducky said. "You really get to eat like this?"

"Yep." Yai said. "Pretty neat, huh?"

"Oh yes, yes, yes." Ducky exclaimed in her usual fashion. "It is neat. It is."

"Mm hmm." Spike said as best he could before digging into his meal.

"Well, guys." Yai said. "When you're with me, it's fine dining all the way."

"Neat." Ducky said. They all began eating. Then, Ducky noticed Yai pouring the pink drink into a cup.

"What is that pink stuff?" Ducky asked. Yai turned to her with a puzzled look, then smiled upon realization.

"It's strawberry milk." Yai said. "My favourite thing to drink."

"That sounds good." Ducky said.

"You 2 want some?" Yai asked

"Oh yes, yes, yes." Ducky said. "We do." Yai poured strawberry milk into the other 2 cups & handed them to the 2 dinosaurs, who begun drinking them. Once done, they all looked up at her, with starry eyes. "This is delicious, Yai." Ducky said.

"Uh huh, uh huh." Spike said.

"Glad you like it." Yai said. "There's plently more where that came from."

Meanwhile, Cera & Chaud were approaching Chaud's mansion. Cera just looked in awe.

"Wow, Chaud." Cera said. "Your home is big. You must be pretty happy." Chaud sighed.

"Not entirely." Chaud said. "My dad's a lot like your dad. He's a blowhard who acts like he's immune to his emotions."

"Hey!" Cera shouted. "Nobody makes fun of my dad except me, got it!?" Chaud smirked.

"But this is my dad we're talking about." Chaud said. Cera sweatdropped.

"Whatever." Cera said. They walked through the large marble doors into Chaud's home. They were greeted by a large man with black hair sticking back with white streaks in it. He was dressed mostly in black with a stern look on his face.

"Chaud Blaze." The man said. "You're 6 minutes late, unacceptable."

"Sorry, dad." Chaud said. "I has to stay a while longer to make sure the gameland was running properly."

"Well…" Chaud's dad said. "See that it works in time for the release date. Dinner will be ready in an hour."

"Thanks, dad." Chaud said. Chaud went up to his room, Cera was concealed behind Chaud's legs, do his dad didn't see her. Chaud lay on his bed with his hands behind his head. Cera leapt onto a chair & curled up in it.

"Wow." Cera said. "He really WAS like daddy. You weren't kidding, Chaud."

"Told ya so." Chaud said. Cera looked around the room & then saw a portrait on 1 of Chaud's walls. It was of a little mini Chaud, his father, & a woman in an orange dress with brown hair & a kind smile.

"Hey, Chaud. Who's this?" Cera asked. Chaud looked over to where Cera was & saw what she was mentioning. He sighed.

"That kid is me when I was little, & the woman was my mom." Chaud said. Cera looked back at him.

"Your mom?" Cera asked.

"Yeah." Chaud said. "She died when I was that age, & it was just me & my dad ever since."

After a pause, Cera spoke up. "I envy you, Chaud."

Chaud looked down at her. "You do?" He asked.

"Yeah." Cera said. "I never knew my mom. Dad said she was swallowed up by the ground in a big earthshake on the way to the great valley."

"Really?" Chaud asked.

"Yeah." Cera said. Chaus smiled.

"Then I guess we have something in common." Chaud said. "We both live with our dad." Cera looked at him with a smile.

"Yeah." She said. Meanwhile, Princess Pride & Tickles were riding in a plane towards a country. Princess Pride picked Tickles up & took him over to the window."

"You see that?" Princess Pride asked. Tickles squeaked in what could easily be described as yes.

"That's my country, where we'll be staying." Princess Pride said. Tickled squeaked happily. A butler then approached Princess Pride.

"We'll be landing shortly, madam." He said. Princess Pride smiled.

"Good." She said. "Our little guest is getting antsy." The person left. Princess Pride smiled at Tickles.

"When we land, I'll show you to my home." Tickles squeaked happily.
