Chapter 4: Big Water
Meanwhile, the herd had followed the gangs foot marks all the way to the Big Water. And the last of the foot marks lead right into it.
"Oh dear." Said Bowser.
"Poor Littlefoot." Said Grandpa.
"This is all you fault! Both of you!" Topps said angerly at them. "My daughter is gone! And it's all because of those boys of yours!"
"You blame both Chomper and Littlefoot?" Bowser asked. "Why?"
"Well...uh...because I gotta blame somebody. Don't I?"
"We must not lose hope." Said Oliver. "The moving waters feel cool after such a long journey. The children probily just walked along in the shallow waters. Looking for something to eat."
"Mrs. Fast-runner is right." Said Grandma. "We must keep looking."
With that said, the herd continued to make their way. Of course, they didn't see the island or hear the gang calling for them.
"Help! Help!" They shouted. But no matter how loud they were, the grown-ups still couldn't hear them.
"It's no use." Said Cera. "Even if they did follow us this far, they'll never be able to find us here."
"There's got to be way." Said Littlefoot. "Say Petrie. You can fly over and tell them where we are."
"Me?" He asked in fear. "All by me self? O-O-Over B-B-Big Water?"
"Okay." Littlefoot said again. "What about you Ducky? You can swim over there."
"Oh no no no." Said Ducky. "I can not do that. The Big Water is deep and dark and...oh no."
"I think so too." Said Chomper.
"What's the matter with you guys?" Cera asked them. "What are you scared of?"
"The Big Water." Said Ruby.
So far, it seemed all of them were scared of it. They began to talk about what it could be like.

(Song End)
"Wow. It looks like we're all scared of the Big Water." Said Cera.
"Well it's not fare for one of us to try and cross it alone." Said Littlefoot.
"Littlefoot's right. If one of us goes, we all go." Said Chomper. "I just wish we knew how."
Cera was about turn around to think. Until she saw something.
"Hey. I think I do."
