Dino seemed to be sleeping in a doghouse in the backyard of the Flintstone home as a green kangaroo-like dinosaur was in the Rubble's yard.
"Heh... Remember when Dino became a security guard for the museum?" asked Pebbles.
"Boy, do I," chuckled Bamm-Bamm. "Things got pretty wild after that."
"A pet got a job?" Akito asked. "Reminds me of Patch's niece, Oddball, when she feels inspired like when she wanted to be Oddball the Wonder Pup after watching Lassie for the first time."
"All of those sound like interesting stories," replied LJ. "Gonna hafta tell us about them sometime."
Pebbles smiled to that. Wilma was cooking dinner in the kitchen as Pebbles soon came back home.
"Mom, I'm home." Pebbles smiled.
"Oh, hello, Pebbles," Wilma smiled back. "Dinner's about ready."
"Great!" Pebbles replied. "Cuz I brought a couple friends. You remember them, they helped me and Bamm-Bamm make it to New Bedrock a few years ago."
"Oh, of course!" Wilma smiled, seeing the group of friends walk in. "It's good to see you all again."
"Likewise, Mrs. Flintstone." said Jenny.
"We'd be happy to stay for dinner!" Martin added.
"I'm pretty hungry," Raul chuckled. "I haven't eaten since like breakfast."
"Well, sounds like you could use some of my famous Brontosaurus Burgers." Wilma replied.
"That sounds pretty great about now!" LJ agreed.
"Great," Wilma smiled. "Luckily I went grocery shopping, especially since Pebbles is expecting some relatives to visit soon."
"Oh, you mean like Grandma?" Pebbles asked.
"Yes, and also your Aunts Mickey and Mica." Wilma nodded.
The group looked a bit confused at that.
"Oh, guys, this'll be fun," Pebbles beamed to the others. "My aunties are the best. Especially with presents." she then smirked slightly.
Everyone had a good chuckle at that.
Soon, everyone settled into the Flintstones house as Pebbles played Super Rocktendo with the others while Wilma cooked dinner and Fred was now on his way home, though Wilma was talking with someone in the kitchen.
"Sorry I'm a little late, Wilma, but there was traffic from a big dinosaur walk going on." Fred said as he came in.
"Oh, that's alright, Fred," Wilma smiled. "Pebbles has some friends over who plan to stay for dinner."
"At this point, as long as they don't make any problems, I'm alright with it," replied Fred. "Funny, Dino was pretty quiet today. Didn't even jump on me when I came back or anything!"
"Must be tired." Wilma said.
"I just know that I'm pretty ready to get started and dig into dinner." Fred beamed, coming into the dining room.
"As long as you remember 'Ladies' First', Fat Boy!" Wilma's mother said firmly as she was shown to be sitting at the table.
Fred inwardly swore at the sight of his own mother-in-law, but he just sighed. "Evening, Pearl," he replied flatly. "I trust the trip here was eventful?"
"It was very interesting to say the least," Pearl replied. "Especially with those little dinosaurs playing around like little children."
"Well, recent events have... Enlightened the people of New Bedrock," explained Fred. "So we're basically living side-by-side with them, even moreso than we used to."
"Hmm... I see..." Pearl replied. "Even though there's already a dinosaur in this house enough as it is."
"Oh, nice to see you've become acquainted with yourself." Fred smirked from that.
"Why, you-!" Pearl glared from that.
"Fred!" Wilma frowned.
Fred shrugged. "Hey, she set herself up for that one. I was just serving it back!" he replied.
The kids snickered at that.
"Pebbles, you and your friends can have some dinner now." Wilma soon told her daughter.
"Thanks, Mom." Pebbles smiled.
The kids were pretty happy to hear that, so they all joined Pebbles in helping to set the table and whatnot before they sat down.
"Well, it seems like another happy and peaceful day around here." Gaz said.
"It's been pretty quiet for a while," Pebbles smiled. "Guess New Bedrock is shaping up nicely after what we did with Thunderfoot and the others."
However, as they had their fun, the dangers would come eventually, such as a pair of Struthiomimus who were quite egg hungry.
"Hmm... I like this place," said the first one, Ozzy, as he got a glimpse of New Bedrock. "Yes, I like it a lot! Wouldn't you agree, Strut?" He then heard crunching noises. "Strut? Get up here!" he snapped.
"What? I'm eating." The other one named Strut replied.
"Spit that stuff out," Ozzy told Strut. "Go on, spit it out!"
"But, Ozzy, I'm hungry." Strut pouted.
"Spit it out, grass-guzzler!" Ozzy glared, hitting Strut on the head. "No bother of mine is going to eat vegetation, not while I'm around."
"Then what are we going to eat?" asked Strut.
"Eggs, dear brother... EGGS!" Ozzy replied. "The valley is full of them: nice, plump, juicy eggs!"
Thunderfoot and his grandfather were shown pushing a tree together.
"Here you are, Thunderfoot," Grandpa smiled. "The last tree star's for you."
"Great trick, Grandpa." Thunderfoot smiled back as he began to eat the leaf.
"It's not a trick, Thunderfoot," Grandpa said. "All Longnecks can do it."
"Great!" Thunderfoot smiled as he gulped down the leaf." Let me try, Grandpa." he soon walked away, then touched the tree and then tried to push it, but he couldn't make it budge; instead, he ended up rolling down the hill, past some geysers. Luckily his grandfather caught him.
Thunderfoot sighed. "Guess I'm too little, huh, Grandpa?" he asked.
"You're still very young," Grandpa soothed as he put Thunderfoot down. "But you'll get the hang of it someday."
"Oh! I hate being little." Thunderfoot pouted.
"Don't worry," Grandpa coaxed. "You'll be grown up soon enough."
"Hey, Thunderfoot!" exclaimed Cera as she came over. "C'mon!"
Thunderfoot looked to his grandpa. "Can I go play?" he asked.
His grandfather smiled. "Have fun."
"Thanks!" Thunderfoot exclaimed as he raced off to play with Cera.
"Ah... The valley is a wonderful place to grow up." Grandpa smiled at his grandson going to play with his friends.
Dino smiled as he watched the young dinosaurs playing.
"Looks like they're going out again," Pebbles said, looking out her window before looking over. "Mom, can we go out with them?"
"Of course, dear, but what do you say?" Wilma prompted.
"Oh, um, thank you for dinner," Pebbles replied. "May we be excused?"
"You may." Wilma then allowed.
And on that, the kids headed outside to play with Thunderfoot and his friends.
"Let's play, let's play!" Ducky exclaimed.
"Not it!" said Thunderfoot.
"Not it!" said Ducky.
"Well, I'm not it." remarked Cera.
"Me no it, either." said Petrie.
"SPIKE'S IT!" The kids all shouted as they scattered.
Meanwhile, the egg-nappers were sniffing at the air.
"Smell something, Ozzy?" asked Strut.
"Yes... Dinner," smirked Ozzy. "Follow me!"
The two hungry dinosaurs soon went to get themselves some eggs.
"Oh, yes." Ozzy grinned, then tried to eat the egg only for a rock to fall on his head. "Ooph! Ow." The egg then dropped as he soon ate the rock. "No!" he then tossed away the rock, spitting the taste out.
"Ozzy, did you get a-" Strut began to ask, coming out from a bush until the rock hit his head, making him lie down in a daze. "Egg...?"
Ozzy scratched on his head, then gasped, going to grab the eggs in the nest.
"Hey, you kids!" A mother dinosaur called out, scaring Ozzy away as she glared to see the dinosaur and human kids playing at the top of the hill. "Stop rolling those rocks down the hill!"
"Huh?" asked Thunderfoot.
"My nest is in there!" replied the mother dinosaur.
"Sorry." replied Kimberly.
"Sorry about that, Mrs. Maiasaura." Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm said nervously.
"Aw, it wasn't much fun anyway." said Cera.
"Yep-yep-yep, no fun at all." agreed Ducky.
"Boring!" Petrie said, landing on Cera's head.
"Hmm... What could we do now?" Skye pondered.
Spike grunted out a response which sounded like "I don't know".
"I know! I know!" Ducky piped up. "We could go to the Sheltering Grass, and play 'Sharptooth Attack'!" she then growled playfully which made her friends laugh.
"Not if I hafta be Sharptooth again!" replied Cera.
"Hey... How about Spike be Sharptooth?" suggested Petrie.
"Now there's an idea." Akito remarked.
Spike looked around as he munched on some grass.
"Oh, yes, yes!" Ducky beamed to her ironically little brother. "Spike!"
"Okay, Spike?" Petrie added. "Huh?"
"Please?" Kimberly soon added, coming beside Ducky.
Spike looked all around before smiling and nodding from that.
"That settles it!" Chrissy replied. "Spike is Sharptooth!"
"Hooray!" Ducky cheered to that.
"All right, let's go." Cera then said.
"Yep, yep, yep," Ducky smiled, climbing up onto Spike's back. "We're going to the Sheltering Grass."
They soon began to go down the hill to go to the Sheltering Grass to play.
"Come on, Thunderfoot." Zofia smiled to the long-necked dinosaur.
"Hold on, guys," said Thunderfoot. "The Sheltered Grass is on the other side of the sinking sand."
"So?" asked Cera.
"Well, my grandparents don't want me going without them." said Thunderfoot.
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm looked concerned.
"Oh, that right," Petrie memorized. "Sinking sand dangerous." he then imitated himself drowning in quicksand.
"Yes, it is!" Ducky added. "It is."
"Well, in that case, we should turn back." Veralupe suggested.
"Aw, you're just a bunch of eggs." Cera scoffed at them.
Petrie rolled down the hill.
"I could cross the sinking sand with my eyes closed!" Cera retorted.
"With her eyes closed?" asked LJ.
"Not looking where she's going?" added Raul.
"That's dangerous." Veralupe smirked a bit.
"Like the Gray Area." Ambrose added.
Spike gasped and ducked down as he looked scared now.
"Hey, that sound fun. Petrie try it." Petrie smiled before closing his eyes and tried to walk around without looking.
"Uh, guys?" Akito said to the dinosaurs. "It's just an expression."
"Hey, are you scaredy-eggs coming or not?" asked Cera.
Thunderfoot slid down, then Petrie ran down, then Spike walked along by Ducky and the others.
"Thunderfoot, you coming?" asked Ducky.
"Oh, well, um, yeah, I'm coming!" replied Thunderfoot as he came down.
"Gee, this is gonna turn out well," Pebbles rolled her eyes. "And the others say I have hair-brained schemes."
Bamm-Bamm shrugged as he and the rest came behind.
"The Sinking Sand..." Thunderfoot remarked. "How are we gonna get across?"
Ducky dipped a foot in. "Yuck! I cannot swim in this. Oh, no. No, no, no!" she exclaimed.
"Okay, maybe now we should turn back." Akito suggested.
"Petrie fly across!" Petrie offered before flying in the air in a loop before looking eager to try it out over the quicksand.
"Great, for you, like me, I can fly too," Akito replied. "The others? Probably not so much."
"He right, Petrie; we no have wings," Ducky told the pterodactyl. "No, no, no. We cannot fly!
"Ohh." Petrie pouted before he soon fell down to the ground since his friends weren't like him.
"Poor Petrie." Ducky cooed to him.
"My dad just jumps from rock-to-rock." Cera smirked a bit.
"Yeah, good for you." retorted LJ.
"But your dad's got longer legs than us." added Thunderfoot.
"Big deal!" replied Cera. "I can do it, too! Watch!" She walked backward and jumped on the rock.
"She got lucky." Pebbles mumbled.
Cera's back legs nearly sunk in, but luckily, she saved herself from sinking any further. "See?" she then smirked before falling into the quicksand.
"Cera!" The others gasped.
Zofia sighed a bit. "We have to help her."
"Oh, fine," sighed LJ. "Let's go for it."
"Wait for Petrie!" Petrie called out, flying to the rescue.
Ducky jumped on another rock with Cera screaming.
"Help!" Cera cried out.
"I got you, Cera," Ducky said, trying to help the young triceratops out of her sticky situation. "Yes, I do!"
"Help! Help!" yelled Cera as Thunderfoot came over.
"Hang on!" said Thunderfoot, grabbing Ducky by the tail.
Dib and Gaz both looked a bit disturbed and worried for the dinosaur group.
"Thunderfoot!" Ducky cried out.
"That it, Thunderfoot," Petrie said, flying overhead. "Pull! Pull!"
Thunderfoot yelped as he nearly fell in, failing to get Cera out.
"Oh, my. Oh, no. No!" Petrie cried out in a panic. "What can I do?! I go for help. But no! We're not supposed to be here."
Spike soon came by, pulling on Thunderfoot's tail with his mouth as he came to help out.
"Hooray, Spike!" Ducky cheered for her brother.
"That it, Spike, you help!" Petrie beamed. "Wait! I help! I help! I pull too!" he then came to pull on Spike's tail to help them all out of the quicksand.
"We oughta do something, besides standing around." said LJ as he leapt in to help the others pull Cera free.
Everyone soon held onto LJ so he wouldn't fall into the quicksand.
"Okay, if we all pull hard on three, we should be able to get her out." Akito suggested.
"Sounds good to me," nodded LJ.
"What was that?" asked Kimberly.
"I think he said 3!" replied Dib.
"No, I said on three!" replied Akito.
"He said three!" called Gaz, and the group started pulling.
"Whoa! Wait a sec!" Akito yelped out before pulling with all his strength, being part god after all. "Augh!"
"We get it, Akito is half-god!" LJ grunted. "Quit rubbing it in, narrator!"
"We can do this..." Thunderfoot added.
"Come on... Come on..." Skye growled, nearly like a dinosaur, but didn't Morph Out.
The others on the dry land began to skid across the ground through their heels a bit as it seemed harder than they thought with the sticking quicksand.
"Ugh! Quicksand sucks!" Akito groused.
"Tell us about it," said Pebbles. "But you'd hafta make it quick, cuz we're sinking!"
"Oh, help!" Petrie cried. "Heeeeelp!"
Everyone screamed out and panicked as they began to sink through the quicksand.
Meanwhile, the parents were doing some eating or taking care of their homes, until...
"Cera?" Cera's father blinked as he heard his daughter's voice while eating some grass.
"Petrie!" Petrie's mother gasped as she was fixing up her nest.
"Ducky! Spike!" Ducky's mother cried out from in the water.
"Thunderfoot!" Thunderfoot's grandparents cried out.
Wilma mowed the lawn as Fred rested in their hammock before panicking. "Pebbles!"
"Bamm-Bamm!" Betty and Barney panicked as well.
"Well, let's not stand around like poorly edited characters!" Dino exclaimed. "We hafta do something and pronto!"
"Oh, gosh! Oh, gosh! Oh, gosh!" Wilma cried out before she soon ran with Fred.
"Hang on, Pebbles!" Fred added. "Daddy's coming!"
"Uh, Bamm-Bamm's Daddy is coming too!" Barney piped up as he soon ran with Betty.
The kids cried out and panicked, trapped in the quicksand, unable to get out. Just then, Cera's dad and Hoppy managed to get them all out of the quicksand by lifting them all to safety.
"Whew..." Thunderfoot sighed. "We made it."
"Bad as that was, could've been worse." shrugged Martin, as Petrie's mother flew over.
"Uh-oh..." gulped Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.
The adults were relieved that their kids were alright, but were angry that they ended up in the quicksand to begin with.
"Boy, this is gonna be a long walk back home." Bamm-Bamm grinned sheepishly.
"Buddy, you dunno the half of it..." sighed LJ as the kids were escorted home.
"Man, it's bad enough to get busted by Mom and Dad, Grandma's gonna have a bronto on me." Pebbles mumbled.
They soon went along as it was getting a bit dark outside and close to night time which was when two dinosaur brothers began to come out.
"Now is the time for all good little eggs to be safely tucked into their nests." Ozzy grinned.
"I wouldn't mind being tucked in," Strut then yawned. "I'm 'eggs-hausted'."
Ozzy kicked him with a glare. "Would you stop complaining?"
"But, Ozzy, I'm tired and I'm hungry," Strut pouted. "Couldn't I have just an itty-bitty little green bedtime snack?"
"NO!" Ozzy retorted. "Can't you see I'm trying to wean you off that stuff?! From now on, you've got to think, breathe and feel only one food group: EGGS!"
And so he began to sing a musical number about how wonderful it was to eat eggs. Strut complained every so often, not too hungry about eggs, but his brother was soon able to convince him.
"You've got to have eggs, thrice a day at least!" Ozzy grinned, licking his lips hungrily. "Tonight we feast."
The two dinosaurs then ran off into the night together to get what they craved the most.
Meanwhile, the group had been escorted to their homes.
"Thunderfoot, your grandma and I don't want to lose you." said his grandfather.
"You're all we have." added his grandmother.
Thunderfoot sighed. "It's so hard to be little..." he remarked.
Akito and Skye began to make a campsite as they hung around Thunderfoot and his grandparents.
"You'll grow up faster than you think," Grandma chuckled to her grandson. "Be patient. Enjoy being young while it lasts."
"And stay close to the herd." Grandpa added.
"Ah, gee!" Thunderfoot complained. "The humans don't have to do this!"
"We feel safe here in the valley," explained his grandfather. "The Great Wall protects us from Sharpteeth and other dangers of the Mysterious Beyond, but there are dangers in the valley as well, Thunderfoot. You must always be careful."
"But my friends!" Thunderfoot piped up.
"Hush now. It is time for sleep," Grandma told him, going off with the other two to get some sleep for the night. "The Bright Circle has already gone from the sky."
"But I'm not sleepy." Thunderfoot said.
"Go along, Thunderfoot." Grandpa nudged him a bit.
"But I'm not-" Thunderfoot said before yawning as he came into his sleeping hole before nearly falling asleep. "I'm not... I'm thirsty."
"Yes, Thunderfoot," Grandpa said before putting out a leaf of water out for his grandson. "Good night."
Thunderfoot suddenly yawned before nuzzling with his grandparents. "Good night, Grandpa. Good night, Grandma."
"Good night, my little one." Grandma smiled to him.
They both went off to sleep, as Thunderfoot dozed off, with the others following suit.
