A rooster-like dinosaur squawked out to wake everyone up into the next morning.
"Ah... That feels nice..." Pebbles smiled as she looked out her window from her bed to see the sun.
The other kids slowly woke up as the morning dew sparkled on the grass blades.
"Any sign of Thunderfoot and the others?" Zofia asked as she yawned and stretched.
"Hmm... I don't see them." Gaz said as she glanced out the window.
"They're probably still asleep," yawned Dib.
"Then they got the right idea..." Raul muttered, still half-asleep.
"Well, all right," Pebbles said. "If you guys wanna go back to sleep. I don't think Mom and Dad are even awake yet."
"Actually, I think we'll be okay," said LJ. "May as well let the others who want it sleep a little longer..."
The others looked all around before some of them went back to sleep.
Pebbles came into the kitchen and heard someone cooking, though it was actually Dino. "Well, that's something else." She then giggled before petting the pet saber-tooth kitten who was sleeping on the couch in the living room.
LJ came in and also saw Dino making breakfast, as he seemed to be quite enthusiastic about it and it did smell nice. Dino smiled to them, carrying the skillet that had eggs on it.
"Smells great, Dino." Pebbles smiled back to her family pet.
"Looks great too!" LJ added.
"Thanks a bunch." Dino replied.
Pebbles and LJ soon came to sit down.
"Might as well get somethin' to eat," Gaz said. "I got the munchies something fierce."
"No problem," Dino smiled. "I'm happy to help out."
"Huh... Cool." Gaz replied as she sat down.
"Not every day you get a meal from a dinosaur." LJ commented.
"No doubt about that." Pebbles agreed.
"Definitely in our time." Gaz said.
"The future sounds so cool," Pebbles said. "I think my parents said that they went to the future once."
"Sounds wild," LJ replied. "My parents work with these superheroes in the city to train the next-generation hero."
"Yeah?" Pebbles asked. "You mean like Captain Caveman?"
"Hmm... Sorta." LJ replied.
"Sometimes I wish I could be a superhero," Pebbles commented. "Bamm-Bamm has super-strength and all."
"I can understand that." LJ nodded.
Eventually, everyone had some breakfast provided to them by Dino.
"It's not Huevos Rancheros, but it'll do." Raul said before he began to eat.
Everyone else tucked in as well. Dino smiled to them as he washed up some dishes before he would get himself something to eat.
"Alright, if Wilma wants to sleep in with her lazy bum of a husband, I guess I'll-" Pearl grumbled as she came into the kitchen before doing a double-take. "WHAAAAAT?!"
"Oh. Hey, Grandma." Pebbles smiled.
"You all are already eating?!" Pearl asked. "But how can that be if your mother or I haven't cooked anything?"
"Um... Maybe Daddy left some breakfast for us." Pebbles said, trying to make her father sound good since she knew how her grandmother felt about him.
"Hmph... Well, I guess even a broken clock can do its job right sometimes..." Pearl replied before sitting down to eat breakfast as well.
Pebbles and Dino hid winks to each other as she went back to eating her breakfast.
Soon after, the kids finished eating and cleaned up afterwards.
"Going out for the day, dear?" Pearl smiled to her granddaughter.
"Yes, ma'am," Pebbles replied. "Gotta meet up with my other friends of course."
"Ah, yes," Pearl smiled. "You have fun now, and whatever you do, DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH A LOUSY MAN LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID!"
The kids rolled their eyes at that.
"Don't worry, Grandma," replied Pebbles. "I still have a long way to go before I have to worry about that."
"Have fun, dear," Pearl smiled sweetly to her. "Now, remember to look both ways before crossing the street, don't talk to strangers, and hurry home if it starts getting dark."
"I will." Pebbles promised as she soon walked off.
Bamm-Bamm seemed to be coming out of his home as well, waving to her before they met up in their main yards together and hugged each other as best friends often do.
"We ready to continue or what?" asked Dib as he cracked his knuckles.
Bamm-Bamm nodded.
"Great," said Dib. "Now to find Thunderfoot and the others."
"Hopefully they had a decent night of sleep." Akito said as they soon walked along.
Once they found Thunderfoot and the other little dinosaurs, they seemed to be having trouble over a rather large egg.
"I guess you guys managed to get this egg back, eh?" asked LJ. "Great job... And it's so large, too!"
"It's like an ostrich egg." Gaz commented.
"What's an ostrich?" Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm asked.
"Uh... Nothing?" Gaz blinked as she face-palmed and forgot all about that.
"Guess it's not your brother or sister after all, Ducky." Kimberly guessed.
"I guess those two eggaholics raided another nest." noted Zofia.
"Yeah, but which one?" Thunderfoot pondered.
"We won't know until it hatches." Cera replied.
"Guess we gotta watch and protect it until then." replied LJ.
"Eggsitting..." Kimberly remarked. "You know, my sister did something like that for school once."
"Like a project?" asked LJ.
"Yeah," Kimberly replied. "Something about responsibility to be a grown-up someday."
"Makes sense to me." Skye commented from that.
"I guess we could do the same for this egg then?" Raul suggested.
"Yes!" Ducky clapped excitedly. "Then we can take it back to its family!"
"Wait, we're gonna take care of it until it hatches?" Thunderfoot asked.
"Well, of course we are!" Cera replied. "After all, we're not babies."
"Oh, I don't know," Thunderfoot frowned in concern as he went to go the other way. "Maybe we should tell our folks."
"And make them think we're just little kids?" asked Cera. "Uh-uh, no way!"
A lot of the others felt unsure about siding with Cera.
"If they find out where we were, they'll put us back in our nests," Cera soon continued. "We don't tell the grown-ups anything, right?"
Thnunderfoot, of course, hesitated in answering her.
"Right?" Cera repeated sharply.
"Right." Thunderfoot then nodded, a bit scaredly.
"I can't believe I'm agreeing with Cera..." sighed LJ.
"This is going to be a trip." Chrissy added.
Thunderfoot soon went to get more sleep while he still could as it was a pretty early morning for everyone. However, as soon as he went to fall asleep...
"Thunderfoot? Wake up, Sleepy Head," Grandma smiled and nudged her grandson awake. "The Bright Circle is already rising into the sky."
Thunderfoot yawned as he woke up... Without much sleep under his belt.
Meanwhile, a rock pile was shown as a pair of dinosaur brothers were shown to be getting out, starting with Strut.
"Oh, I feel like... Agh! A mountain fell on me." Strut said as he came on out.
"It did!" Ozzy muffled.
"Is that you, Ozzy?" Strut asked, looking around for his brother. "Where are you?"
"You're standing on me!" Ozzy still muffled.
"Ah!" Strut yelped as he then jumped off of the rocks.
"Did you save the egg?" asked Ozzy.
Strut was baffled. "Oh, uh... The egg?" he asked before Ozzy hit him. "Oh, you mean the egg! Uh, well, I don't... I-I-I mean, uh... Those kids, yeah, that's it! Those kids did it! They stole our egg. The nerve!"
Ozzy's eyes widened. "They did, did they? Well, they'll pay, and dearly!" he exclaimed.
This was bad news for everybody, but the kids wouldn't realize it until they would be a little too late.
Other cave kids were shown to be passing by as the adult dinosaurs began to graze in the grass and eat.
"Gosh, I wonder where Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are today?" A girl with dirty blonde hair that nearly looked like an Afro asked, wearing a short green dress with a green headband. "Seems like they've been too busy for us lately."
"I dunno, Wiggy," Another girl known as Penny Pillar replied. "Hopefully we can find them soon."
"Maybe they ditched you losers for someone cooler like us." A golden blonde-haired cavegirl in a pink dress smirked.
"Then again, how would they be cool enough to hang out with someone like that?" A black-haired cavegirl added, looking quite sassy.
"Oh, no..." Penny frowned.
"Cindy Curbstone and Rosetta Stone." Wiggy added.
The two mean girls laughed wickedly until...
"Hey, gang, over here!" Pebbles called out.
"Hey, guys!" said Wiggy. "Perfect timing! We were just talking about you!"
"Guys, meet our friends from school," Pebbles smiled. "Wiggy Rockstone and Penny Pillar."
"We were wondering about you two," Penny said to Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. "We ran into Rosetta Stone and Cindy Curbstone though."
"Rosetta Stone." Zofia snickered at that name.
"Ah... I heard about that Cindy character from last time," said LJ. "Nice to meet you guys."
"It's nice to meet you too," Penny smiled shyly. "What're you guys doing?"
"Sorta... Babysitting... Only it's an egg..." Bamm-Bamm said bashfully.
"So eggsitting." Pebbles then added.
"It was saved from these egg-nappers," explained LJ. "So we're raising it until it hatches!"
"Ooh... Fascinating specimen..." Penny said, taking a closer look. "I might be able to identify which species it is by its shape and structure."
"She reminds me of my Aunt Luna." Skye commented from Penny's intelligence.
"Huh... Okay," Martin replied. "Good to know."
"Maybe you'll get to meet her and my parents," Skye said. "Let's just worry about the egg right now."
"Yes," Chrissy added. "Be a good little... Whatever you are in there."
"...I call dibs on being the dad!" LJ exclaimed.
Chrissy blushed bashfully from that.
"I'll be the mom then and Chrissy can be the other mom." Kimberly said.
"Eggs have two mommies now," Zofia commented. "Anyone who has an issue with that can go suck an-... Uh... Never mind." she then said, not wanting to say 'Egg' which would probably feel offensive right now.
"Suck a lemon?" suggested Raul.
"Yeah! Go suck a lemon!" Zofia then agreed. "That sounds good."
"How long do we have to wait?" Cera soon asked.
"Gee, I don't know," Thunderfoot replied. "It could be a long time."
"My mama sit on the eggs to keep warm, make hatch," Petrie said before climbing up on top of the egg. "Me sit on egg."
"I wonder what it's gonna be?" said Cera. "A girl, I hope."
"Maybe a flier, like me." suggested Petrie.
Ducky chimed in. "Or a swimmer, like me."
"I dunno... It looks a little big for that." replied Martin.
"Looks like an egg that would belong to Mama Croc." Chrissy said.
"Mama Croc?" Dib and Gaz asked.
"Yeah, you know, from Brandy & Mr. Whiskers," Chrissy replied. "...Am I the only one who ever watched that show?"
"Nah, I remember that show," said LJ. "Watched it on and off, from time-to-time."
"I haven't seen it, so I dunno." Gaz shrugged.
"Yeah, I remember it too." Zofia told Chrissy.
"Good enough for me." Chrissy shrugged then.
"Either way, no matter what happens, we're gonna be this egg's parents." Pebbles proclaimed.
Everyone agreed on that.
"How could we be its parents?" Cera asked.
"Well, we'll raise it, teach it stuff," Thunderfoot suggested. "It'll be fun!"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes," Ducky beamed, touching the egg. "And LJ, Chrissy, and Kimberly will be very good mama and papa! Mm-hmm."
"Aww... Thank you, Ducky." Kimberly smiled from that.
"We be good parents!" Petrie added. "Ooh! Hmm..."
"Well, I think I'll make the best parent." Cera replied boastfully.
"Oh? And how so?" asked Thunderfoot.
"Because I'll let her do anything she wants." Cera smirked.
"Mm, that sound good to me." Petrie replied.
"Heh, sounds like my friend Eloise with her mother being in Paris and Europe all the time while she runs around the Plaza Hotel like a princess while Nanny watches over her." Akito commented.
"Is that good parenting?" Zofia asked.
"It doesn't sound like it." Gaz commented.
"Of course it isn't," replied LJ. "You gotta have some rules for the kid."
"Our baby will never hear 'no'," Ducky soon said. "Oh, no, no, no, no!"
"So we're gonna do it?" Thunderfoot asked his friends.
"Uh-huh!" Petrie nodded.
"Yes!" Cera added.
Cindy and Rosetta growled as they soon walked off away from Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.
"I'm sure Rosetta would be a good friend," Pebbles commented. "If her mother wasn't in jail."
"Huh?" asked LJ.
"Oh, it's not that important, but... Rosetta's mother got sent to jail after her old boss tried to get my daddy in trouble by becoming Vice-President in Mr. Slate's workplace," Pebbles replied. "She blames us for letting that happen."
"When did this happen?" Dib asked.
"When Bamm-Bamm and I were very young," Pebbles said. "Our parents told us when we got older and they told us about Rosetta's mother, Sharon."
"So her mother's name is Sharon Stone?" Raul asked. "...Clever."
"Heh," LJ replied. "Informative."
"Yeah... It's almost like I had no choice but to explain all of that." Pebbles remarked.
"It's called exposition," said LJ. "For people who aren't up to speed on an event."
"Uh, yeah, that," Pebbles replied. "Sorry about that forced info dump then."
"We're used to it," Skye shrugged. "I mean, I had to learn a bit when I went to Jurassic World with Akito, Estelle, and Vincent."
"Fair enough," shrugged LJ. "For once, I'm not jealous of not getting to go on that adventure."
"Heh, I can't say I blame you." Skye chuckled.
Ozzy and Strut soon came out of the bushes, up to their old tricks again. The egg began to shake a bit, making everyone gasp which only meant one thing.
"Look!" Ducky gasped.
"It hatching!" Petrie added as a foot came out of the egg.
Next came the tail, then the body, and then the eggshell burst open, revealing a tiny purple tyrannosaurus.
"Aww~..." The girls gushed from the baby dinosaur. "He's so cute..."
"...Yeah, I guess." Gaz said bashfully, though even she had to admit that the baby dinosaur was cute.
"It's... It's a..." Petrie stammered nervously.
"SHARPTOOTH!" The young dinosaurs panicked and began to run away.
"Oh, you guys, it's just a little one!" Kimberly defended. "Look at him... He's so cute and all alone~"
"Sharptooths eat dinos like us!" said Cera. "And of course, he's gonna get bigger!"
"Sharptooth!" Ozzy and Strut yelped as they then went to hide.
Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm, Wiggy, and Penny soon ran away to hide with the young dinosaurs. Thunderfoot tried to run with his friends only to get caught in the vines which sent him flying back.
"He's just a baby, you guys!" Kimberly pouted before coming to the baby dinosaur. "Hey, there, little guy, erm... Gal? Uh... I'm not sure."
Raul squinted. "Hmm... Yeah, I think he's a dude." he replied.
The baby dinosaur seemed to coo a bit to Thunderfoot. Thunderfoot screamed from him on the other hand and ran away.
"Oh, don't mind him," Kimberly cooed to the baby dinosaur. "We'll look after you~"
"Indeed!" LJ replied. "We shall raise him and teach him the ways of the world!"
Thunderfoot poked his head in and came a bit closer. "Hm... I guess you guys are right," he then said. "He doesn't look so dangerous."
The baby dinosaur looked over calmly.
"It's all right," Thunderfoot soothed the baby dinosaur. "I won't hurt you."
The baby dinosaur then licked Thunderfoot with a laugh.
"Friendly, aren't you?" Thunderfoot smiled to that. "Hey, I bet you think I'm your Mama, uh, Papa."
The baby dinosaur jabbered a bit from that.
"Well, I'm not really, but don't worry. I'm gonna take good care of you," Thunderfoot then told the baby dinosaur. "My friends will too, once they see how nice you are. Come on! I'll show you around."
"Come on, little guy!" smiled LJ. "But then again, we'll hafta give you a name..."
"How about... Cookie?" Kimberly suggested.
"I think something musical like Melody." Chrissy suggested.
"That'd be nice... If he was a girl." Dib replied.
"Damien." Gaz grinned a bit.
The baby dinosaur began to go after them, but was unable to walk properly due to just being born.
"How about Munchie?" asked Martin.
"Hmm... Maybe..." Dib replied.
Thunderfoot soon began to teach the baby dinosaur how to walk. "First, you lift one foot, then you put out down in front of you," he the began. "Then you lift the other. Now you try."
The baby dinosaur then tried to walk down.
"Slow down!" Thunderfoot warned. "You'll hurt yourself!"
The baby dinosaur then hit his head while walking and fell right on his head.
"Are you okay?" Thunderfoot then asked. "You're gonna have to be more careful."
"Boy, that was a Mom thing to say." Zofia commented.
"Yep." LJ agreed.
The baby dinosaur soon began to cry.
"Oh, don't cry," Kimberly coaxed. "We're not mad at you, I promise."
"He's gonna need a name, sooner or later." Gaz suggested.
A dragonfly then flew by and the baby dinosaur soon chomped down on it.
"I know. I'll call you Chomper," Thunderfoot suggested until he saw the baby dinosaur chomp away. "I guess, you're hungry, huh? Gee, I-I know what Sharpteeth like, but, well, maybe I can teach you to eat green food like me. After all, I'm your papa now. Here!" he took out some food for Chomper. "These leaves are really tasty. Try some."
Chomper ate the leaves, but then spat them out.
"...This is gonna be harder than we thought..." Pebbles sighed. "Chomper, you stay here, okay?"
"Uh-huh." nodded Chomper.
"You won't go anywhere?" asked Bamm-Bamm.
"Uh-uh." Chomper shook his head.
"Good, then we'll be right back after we get some grown-up advice," Pebbles said. "If Cera ever finds out, she'll kill us."
Chomper tried to eat the butterflies, then ate the leaf before spitting it out as he went back to the butterflies. Thunderfoot went to go to his grandparents for help with the others following after him.
"Um, Grandma, Grandpa, can we talk to you?" asked Thunderfoot to his grandparents.
"Of course, Thunderfoot. What is it?" asked his grandpa.
Thunderfoot looked sheepish. "Well, uh, I wanna know about babies."
Grandma and Grandpa Longneck were dumbfounded by this.
"Thunderfoot, you're too young to worry about babies!" exclaimed Grandma.
"Well, it's, um, it's just that I'm curious." replied Thunderfoot.
"All right. What would you like to know?" asked Grandma.
"Uh, how do babies get enough to eat?" asked Thunderfoot.
"The grown-ups find food for them, of course."
"But what if they won't eat what you give them?"
"You wouldn't always eat what we or your mother gave you."
"I wouldn't?"
"That's right. But when you got hungry enough, you always ate."
"I did?"
"Uh-huh. All babies eat when they're hungry, Thunderfoot," said Grandma. "Now, anything else you'd like to know?"
"Um, uh, no. That's good. Thanks. Bye!" Thunderfoot replied as he took off.
Thunderfoot's grandparents soon watched him go off before they shared a smile with each other.
"Kids! They want to grow up so fast." Grandpa chuckled.
"Yes," Grandma nodded from that. "And once they do, they wish they were young again."
