Ali followed Littlefoot where no one could hear their private conversation. As they stood she took time to study him, he had changed so much. He looked tired, but that was from his ordeal before and his expression was of curisousity at what she would say. She smiled slightly at him before taking a deep breath.

"I was really scared before you know." she didn't know how to start but the fear of him nearly dying was enough to start the conversation.

Littlefoot sighed, "I understand Ali." but the girl long neck started crying.

"I was so scared that you and Cera would die, I was very very scared." she cried.

Littlefoot didn't know what to do but rubbed himself against her affectionately. "It's alright Ali, Cera and I are alright. It's alright!" he whispered soothingly to her.

It wasn't enough she broke down into harsh sobs with Littlefoot standing awkwardly soothing her.

After Cera had apologized to him, Chomper had set up a plan to teach Hiki a lesson for his dare. Whilst hatching up the plan Chomper and Cera began to be come closer than before, they were becoming better friends like from when they both were little.

"So are you ready Cera?" he asked.

The three-horn nodded, "I will bring Hiki to the glade then you will show up and scare him." she let out a hoarse laugh, "Great idea Chomper!" she praised.

Chomper smiled appreciably, "Let's do this!"

Spike, Ducky and Petrie were smiling, Chomper and Cera were becoming good friends and the deep emotions between Ali and Littlefoot was becoming more obvious day after day.

"I'm glad things are coming together now hey Ducky?" asked Petrie as he stuffed a bunch of blue berries in his beak.

"Yep yep yep, things are coming together!" she agreed.

Spike nodded before turning back to the half munched fern and resumed eating.

"Is that all he ever does? I've never seen him do anything else anymore, well besides sleep and drink." Petrie commented as he watched the spike tail.

Instead of getting angry with the flier like she normally would, Ducky just laughed, "Yeah I suppose so."

"I'm really relieved that everything is working out." exclaimed Petrie before stuffing his face with more berries.

"This way Hiki."

"Honestly Cera this better be good, I left Mera with those other burly males." he ranted.

Cera rolled her eyes, Mera was a very young and pretty three-horn who was the center of every males attention. "Don't worry this is good! And I'm sure Mera won't miss you!" she bitterly commented.

"Besides we are here now alright!" she snorted.

They had arrived in the glade, "Wow, this is fun ain't it!" Hiki commented sarcastically.

"You will see..."

"It's alright Ali, it's over now!" Littlefoot soothed her once again.

By now Ali had calmed herself down with effort and took a deep breath, I hope he says what I hope he says. She thought to herself. "Littlefoot I have something to tell you."

"what is it?" he asked relieved that she was calmer than she was before.

Ali took a deep breath, it was now or never. "You have always looked out for me, showing that you care about me well what I'm trying to say is well." her nerves were winning.

Littlefoot smiled, "I know what your trying to tell me, Ali."

Ali smiled back, "really?"

Littlefoot nodded, "Yes, I really care about you too."

Ali's heart did a triple double loop.

Littlefoot moved closer and rubbed his head affectionately against hers.

"Oh Littlefoot!" Ali breathed.

"well Cera? What is it you want me to see?"

but before the female three-horn could answer a terrorizing roar sounding from behind. Hiki and Cera screamed, the Latter only screaming slightly.

"GO AWAY!" the sharp-tooth roared menacingly as he glared at the two three-horns. Hiki was shaking terribly, whilst Cera was trying very hard not to snigger.

The predator turned his red eyes towards Hiki, "BOO!" the male three-horn gave a shriek and ran out of the glade not looking back.

Cera finally burst out laughing and was later joined by Chomper, "did you see his face? Aw that was a classic!" Cera exclaimed.

Chomper smiled, "That was great! But I don't mean to impose on our fun but we have to go see what the others are up too!" he said.

Cera nodded and started heading out of the glade followed by Chomper.

After telling one another about their feelings Littlefoot and Ali had headed off to find Ducky, Petrie and Spike to tell them about their good news.

"This is great news, congratulations both of you." Ducky praised, "Yep yep yep!"

"Will you stay with us Littlefoot?" asked Petrie nervously.

"Of course I will, You are all my friends." the long neck reassured.

"anyway have you seen Chomper or Cera or both?" asked Littlefoot changing the subject.

"Yep yep yep, they're coming over the hill right now!" exclaimed Ducky pointing over the horizon.

At the sight of the two former enemies walking, talking and laughing together slightly startled Littlefoot but smiled, his friends had became proper friends.

"Chomper, Cera!" Petrie yelled.

"Guess what?" exclaimed Ali.

"what?" they both asked in unison.

"Littlefoot and Ali are now together!" said Ducky with delight.

Both Cera and Chomper congratulated both the long necks in turn.

"Let's go to that secret meeting place we went to when we were younger." suggested Petrie.

"what place? We had so many." asked Ducky.

"You know where we used to look out over the Great Valley? I mean that place, it has a beautiful view and it's perfect for a celebration just like this."

Ducky nodded, "Let's go!"

As the seven friends looked over the Great Valley a feeling of peace, happiness and prosperity fell over each of them in turn.

Yes! Are old friendship has been renewed! Thought Littlefoot contentedly as he nuzzled Ali, and sometimes our friendships can only get better!
