CHAPTER THREE
(Warning: The reason, so far anyway, that this was upgraded to T is in this chapter.)
An Egg Stealer walks around until he finds a patch a soft ferns, then lays down curling up yawning, slips into relaxation.
Meanwhile, Tucompso said to Chomper You know I really can't say I expected something so big to even bother wasting energy on something so small. Anyway we best go tell your friends about this, we're burning daylight.
The Egg Stealer, meanwhile, continues to sleep. Sometime later, his mate comes by. "Got us an egg." she said. He wakes up and smiles at her. The two of them eat the yoke.
Tucompso returns to the lake he was shown earlier and gets a nice drink of water.
The Egg Stealer, meanwhile, said to his mate "Hey dear, can you please do me one little favor? In fact, think of it more as a reward."
"What exactly did you have in mind?" asked the female Egg Stealer.
'I want to express my passion for you in a physical way, the two of us becoming one, as is the course of nature. In an area so romantic as this where the flowers bloom and the great circle rises. With nothing to fear but a slight second where you do not enjoy my sweet embrace. You deserve the pleasure my love. Please? May I?" he asked her.
"Um, ok." she said.
""I would like you to lift your lovely tail and hold still for a moment. I'll show you, and you will love it. I guarantee." he said. She agreed. He gets onto her standing on her back, nice graceful and gentle. The two mate.
Meanwhile, back in the Great Valley, Chomper said "I think I met Sharptooth in the Mysterious Beyond."
"THE Sharptooth? The one that killed my mother? I thought he drowned." said Littlefoot.
"Apparently not. And he wants to kill you and your friends." said Chomper.
"He won't get into the Great Valley. It keeps out the bad ones." said Cera.
"He says he plans to attack with a large group." said Chomper.
"Where is Tucompso? He saw Sharptooth too you said." said Ali.
"Chomper, I don't know. I thought he was right behind me." said Chomper, looking around him.
Meanwhile, the shorty Sharptooth finishes drinking from the pond. He heads back toward the Great Valley. He hears Egg Stealers mating. Eccch! Dino love! he groaned. Not wanting to witness the event, he heads into the Great Valley.
Tucompso takes a fresh water shelled swimmer with him (fresh water lobster) and brings it to Chomper Want some dessert Chomper? Least I can do for saving me from that big scare faced thing. he asked.
Well, I wasn't going to let him swallow you whole. That's a terrible way to die. Besides, I'm rather full. I mean, I ate fish and a bunch of Fast Biters. I don't think I should keep eating. I'm not Spike after all. said Chomper. If I keep eating, I shall have a food loss (barf) and my friends really don't like to see the contents of what I eat. In fact, they prefer that I often go eat somewhere else. Thanks for the offer though. I can always eat this later. 'Anyway, you saw him too. Unfortunately, I don't think you can talk Leaf Eater and tell them, but you can at least try and draw a picture of him in the sand for them.
Tucompso takes a twig and begins to draw in the sand, after about 45 minutes he still hasn't stopped, the detail so far show a large Sharptooth with one eye, a dint in his head, lines that are supposed to represent something coming from his breath but without color it is hard to tell what it is supposed to be. The background is around him in fine detail, even showing at 800 yards a sharp mandible (praying mantis) holding a leaf gobbler. Then he begins to draw the bones at the great valley entry, still not finishing yet.
"That looks like Sharptooth all right. It does. It does." said Ducky in alarm.
"We have to tell my grandparents. They need to know about this." said Littlefoot.
Littlefoot and Ali came to his aging, though still alive, grandparents. "I'm afraid Sharptooth is still alive." said Littlefoot.
"What? Our daughter's killer still lives!" gasped Grandpa Longneck.
Tucompso, who didn't understand Leaf Eater, wondered aloud Why do they sound so scared? do they not like my artistic amazement?
"I wish that I could have gotten there faster before the Great Earthshake messed things up too much. I'd have made that Sharptooth Sharptoothless!" said Grandpa Longneck angrily.
"Do you think the Sharptooth will get us, Dad?" asked a purple female Longneck with brown eyes.
"No, Emelia. I won't let him." said Littlefoot.
The male Egg Stealer nuzzles his mate standing next to her having finished giving her what he can for now.
"So." he asks "Did you like that?"
He waits eagerly for her answer.
"Yes, I enjoyed that. Wish I could do more. I did want kids. I wanted eggs of my own to hatch rather than eggs of someone else to eat." she said.
"That makes up, I guess, for forgetting that today was our anniversary." said the male Egg Stealer, blushing.
You can have more of that any time you want, but I can only offer it once every hour or so. Hey, look over there, there are a lot of Flatteeth gathering to hear the latest gossip. What you say we sneak over and eves drop? It may sound rude now, but trust me, whatever they know could save our lives. After all you know how they are about Sharpteeth." he said to her.
"Wait, you're forget our anniversary?!" snapped the female Egg Stealer.
"Relax, it's still morning, I will be willing to grant you whatever you want for your anniversary until the great circle goes down, and if necessary even pretend it still hasn't for the next 48 hours." her mate said to her, trying to diffuse the situation.
"Are we going to steal the Flatteeth eggs? What would they know about Sharpteeth anyway that we wouldn't?" asked the female Egg Stealer.
"They would know what we wouldn't, if new ones are making their territory near where we have made ours. And yes, we can eat their eggs if you so desire. After all, there is no better source of protein, and we will need lots and lots of protein." said her mate.
"Fine, we'll go." she replied.
"Just remember, if we get caught, simply say we are vegetarians. If that don't work, make them argue then run while they argue. They are after all very stupid." he said.
