CHAPTER THIRTEEN


(Warning: This chapter, much like three, has some issues that make the thing rated T.)

Meanwhile, in the Great Valley, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike are in shock. "I trusted him. I thought he could be the opposite of Sharptooth. It was a gift to my mother. It was meant to save Leaf Eater lives." said Littlefoot, sobbing onto Ali's shoulders. Pato and Emelia are also down.

"I told you he didn't have feelings. He's Sharptooth." said Cera, trying to hide her grief.

"Me warn you that he cute in past, but someday..." said Petrie, a tear in his eye.

"I am sorry about Chomper. I am." said Ducky, crying. Spike nodded, also sobbing. He grabs onto a Tree Star and blows his nose. Then, he forgets that he did so and eats the Tree Star.

"Gross!" muttered Pato, sticking out his tongue in disgust.

"That son of a tarpit Chomper betrayed us. I told you that all Sharpteeth are cowards!" shouts Bron.

"Yes, I told you that a Sharptooth can NEVER be one of us. Now you KNOW it's true." said Cera. Ruby shakes her head, crying.

Don't translate anything unless its important, this is rather depressing stuff I'm sure. Tucompso said to Ruby.

Chomper, meanwhile, hears somebody outside the cave. He calls to them Hello. Who is there?

It was Phyco. Mind if I come in? I like to hide from the night circle when its full, something about it makes me prone to having an episode, so since I have two cool friends, sleep over? said Phyco.

Thanks, I need all the company I can get. said Chomper gratefully.

Have you two ever wished that you'd just die in your sleep? I feel that way right now. Those poor Clubtails won't get to grow older now because of me. I washed the red water (blood) off of my hand but cannot seem to wash the guilt away. Chomper laments.

Not really, if I am going to die I would prefer to have fun doing it, like perhaps rolling down a hill during a earth shake with fire falling from the sky and after about 15 hours landing on a three horn's three horns. Something with that amount of thrill. Phyco says smiling.

The next day, Chomper is about to have his union ceremony. This feels awkward. said Chomper.

It's all downhill from here buddy after the honeymoon. said Rusty.

Thanks. said Chomper dryly.

Meanwhile, in the Great Valley, Ruby wakes up to find a sleeping Tucompso on her. He is snuggled in to stay warm as the weather this time of year is starting to get colder.

Hello my friend, hello. Ruby says to him. He wakes up.

Hello Ruby. he says.

Meanwhile, Littlefoot tosses and turns, having a bad Sleep Story.

Sharptooth is chasing after Pato and Emelia. Ali confronts him. "Run! Run!" she tells the two kids.

Sharptooth fights her. The two are doing evenly well. Littlefoot comes to try and help her fight Sharptooth. Only, as he approaches, he finds that it isn't Sharptooth, but Chomper.

"Chomper?" Littlefoot gasps.

"Hello Littlefoot. You knew this day would come. You can stick your head up your tush but you knew all along what I was." said Chomper. He leaps through the air, lands on Ali, and tears the flesh off of her back, downing her.

Littlefoot jumps up out of his sleep, yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I thought I heard someone yell. I thought Sharpteeth didn't attack anyone in the Great Valley. says Tucompso to Ruby.

I hope not. A Sharptooth attack in the Great Valley is NOT what we need right now. said Ruby. She goes and finds Littlefoot. "Are you all right?" she asks.

"Bad Sleep Story. Chomper killed Ali in them." he said. The two pause, again wondering if Chomper now would do such a thing. "I so trusted Chomper. Now I'm afraid he's gone, succumbing to his inner-Sharptooth." said Littlefoot.

"Do not give up hope Littlefoot. Maybe the Chomper he used to be is still there inside the Chomper he is now." said Ruby.

"I hope so." Littlefoot replied.

Meanwhile, Chomper says Yes, I do. I take Tiny to be my mate.

Then I now pronounce you as mates forever. You may kiss the bride. said Rusty. Chomper kissed Tiny. He was now no longer single. Now what?

A short time later, after their union ceremony is done, Chomper is alone with his new wife. We get 12 days away from the others. Pack rules. It's so we can get used to being together. Which gives us plenty of time to plan in secret. he says to her. The two kiss again.

That night, the two are alone in the cave. I cannot stop thinking about Littlefoot. He might never want to see me again. His mother got killed by our kind and now he thinks I've betrayed him, no doubt. sighed Chomper.

Well, I do have something that could stop you from worrying for a while. said Tiny.

What? asks Chomper.

Well, we could always mate. I mean, you said you were ok with it if we were married and we are now. said Tiny. Tiny lies on the floor and lifts her tail.

Tiny, er, what...? said Chomper in shock.

Listen, Chomper dear. I have those unhatched eggs inside of me. They will not hatch the way they are now. However, with your, er, help, that can change. Don't you want kids? she asks him.

I, er, yes. I suppose. he says.

Then, I'm all yours. says Tiny.

Hold still then. Chomper says. He mounts her. I have you all night to myself. he says to her, kissing her. She smiles. The two mate.
