It is nightfall in the small, isolated Ankylosaurus Village. Yoshi is on the balcony of Geppy's Inn, and he looks out in the northern direction, the direction in which he'll go to reach the Triceratops Cove.

Dr. Hoshi comes behind Yoshi and pats him on his back. "It's getting late, Yoshi. You'd best save your energy for tomorrow."

Yoshi nodded, and then he turned to Dr. Hoshi. "But doc, what about you? Once I head off to the Triceratops Cove, I probably won't come back here!" He exclaimed shockingly.

Dr. Hoshi only chuckled. "Oh Yoshi, you always seem so cautious about me. Well..." He let out a sigh and looked up at the bright night sky. "Since I venture out all over the reaches of Dinosaur Land, I may turn up somewhere else." He chuckles. 'Who knows, maybe our paths will cross again, Yoshi."

Yoshi smiled a bit, but he then frowned again. "Yeah, but doc! How am I suppose to go on without you?"

Dr. Hoshi looked at Yoshi, straight to the face. "Yoshi, you originally came here to continue your quest to save Peppy, and I helped you brave the Ankylosaurus Desert. And since you managed to beat the dangerously powerful Ankylosaurus King, I'm sure that going through the Triceratops Cove will be a piece of cake.

Yoshi gulped, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, doc...I'm still a bit cautious...what would happen to me if I was knocked out permanently?" He started to tremble and whine worriedly.

Dr. Hoshi sighed, putting his right arm around Yoshi and heading into the Inn. "Come on, Yoshi - you ned a lot of rest. You have a LOOOOONG day ahead of you tomorrow."

Yoshi nodded, a smile reappearing on his face. "Phew, thanks, Dr. Hoshi. I just hope that the sleep will be all worth it..." The two Yoshisauruses entered into the Inn, and closed the balcony door.
