A.N: Hello beautiful readers! Well, here it is, another fanfic by yours truly. This time it's about some of our favorite prehistoric pals from The Land Before Time. For anyone who grew up on these movies like I did, or even watched the TV Series because you were that dedicated, well, this fic is for you. First, a little background.
There have been many stories out there, and one thing I've noticed is they center around the original Gang of Five or other characters they've met along their several fantastic adventures. As for love stories, you've got Little Foot paired with Alley, Cera and . Also, there are Petrie X Ducky romances, Spike and Tippy (Though Tippy's gender is changed, boo!). But one particular pair no one seems to write about are Chomper and Ruby. Whether it's because one is pink and the other is blue, those colors just seem to go together.
Long and short, for me, the pair displayed chemistry within the series that could possibly bloom into romance between them, growing in love over the years. After all, they live together in the Secret Caverns, have some grand fever dreams of changing the Mysterious Beyond, for crying out loud people, this is writing gold. Thus, I've rolled up my sleeves and am mining away to find the diamond in the rough! Or in this case gold, whatever, you know what I meant, or maybe not.
Also, the songs are a mix match as I'm a huge fan of romantic songs. Plus, the story was slightly inspired by an image from the Anime Belle, where the heroin is pink and the Dragon is blue, wink, wink. I never saw it but love the songs and it brought back the imagine of Ruby and Chomper to my mind, out of all things, those two, weird. I would like to state this story is for anyone who, like me, wished for an epic, romantic, drama, inspired by these two. For clarification, the relationship between the said pair won't go into adult territory, keeping it family friendly and safe for those worried about mature content in later chapters.
Comment, follow, but most importantly, enjoy!
Prologue: Chomper and Ruby
"Tale as old as time,
True as it can be, barley even friends,
Then somebody bends unexpectedly,
Just a little change, small to say the least,
Both a little scared, neither one prepared,
Chomper and Ruby,
Ever just the same, ever a surprise,
Ever as before, ever just as sure as the sun will rise,
Tale as old as time, tune as old as song,
Bitter sweet and strange, finding you can change, learning you were wrong,
Certain as the sun, rising in the east,
Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme,
Chomper and Ruby,
Tale as old as time,
Song as old as rhyme,
Chomper and Ruby."
The Great Valley was full of lush piece of land, with green meadows, tall grass and thriving forests, food to sustain the large herbivory dinosaurs who lived there. Among them was an adult Little Foot, the longneck, Cera, the threehorn, Peter the flyer, Ducky, the swimmer, and her brother Spike, the spiketail. Five friends who'd been childhood friends, all sharing tremendous loss in the aftermath of the Great Earth Quake. Spike's parents, Little Foot's Mother, Cera's mom and siblings. On the adult's trek to the Valley, Ducky's father and Petrie's dad, both lost when a group chose to leave the herd and to follow Pterano, Petrie's uncle who lead them to their demise. While tragedy seemed apart of their youth, it was the glue that held them together, knowing so long as they had each other, they'd get through whatever life threw at them. As children, they went on several wonderous adventures, not only in the Great Valley, but in the Mysterious Beyond, a place where the dreaded sharpteeth, faster biters, and other meat-eating beasts lived.
While all lived in harmony within the great rock walls, not all was well, least not for one individual. The being was Ruby, the fastrunner, who lived in the Secret Caverns with her parents. While a half-leaf eater, she was considered a plant-eater to those who dwelled there, given she looked different compared to Egg-stealers and other meat-eaters. Able to reside within the helm of the walls, she kept the Secret Cavers clean and looked after her older parents. She used to live there and tend to another, but for many years, he'd been gone. Not dead, alive, only far away from her. His name was Chomper, the little sharptooth she looked after when they arrived in the Valley. The very thought of him made her mind wander back, to a time long ago it seemed, to the past and her youth.
