1 Guy, 1 Girl and an Overprotective Mother chapter 2
Diana was taking a stroll around the Great Valley when she saw Topsy heading towards her.
"Hi Dad," Diana said.
Topsy growled under his breath.
"Don't 'Hi Dad' me missy; don't act innocent with me; you were never good at it," Topsy snarled.
Diana was shocked; her own dad was telling her off.
"Dad; what's gotten into you?" Diana asked.
Topsy let out another growl and kicked the dirt with his paw.
"Dana is in a bad mood and he lashed out at Littlefoot; he's never done that with anyone before," Topsy claimed.
Diana gasped.
"Then, he should apologize; I raised him better than that," Diana claimed.
Topsy shook his head, irritated at his oldest daughter.
"I know why Dana snapped; you still treat him like a child; and he doesn't think clearly when he's angry," Topsy stated.
"Are you saying this is my fault?" Diana wondered.
"Yes! You need to get your head out of your ass and face facts that Dana is a grown threehorn; the same with Dinah; you treat Dana as though he was a youngling; he and Dinah are both 18 for crying out loud," Topsy snarled.
"You can't talk to me like that; you're my dad," Diana retorted.
Topsy snarled under his breath.
"Excuse me?" Topsy asked.
"You're excused," Diana joked.
Topsy growled and walked away. He didn't want to see Diana right now; she made him very angry. He got back to the Thundering Falls; only this time, Grandma Longneck was there. She looked down at Topsy and smiled.
"Good afternoon, Topsy; it's a lovely day," Grandma claimed.
"Hi Miriam; this is not a good day; I'm angry at Diana and so is Dana and Littlefoot is angry at Dana," Topsy admitted.
Grandma sighed and shook her head.
"Oh dear; that's not good," Grandma claimed.
Topsy nodded. He hated fighting with any of his kids.
"At least I know the source of Dana's anger and frustration; Diana is still treating him like a child even though Dinah has a boyfriend," Topsy stated.
Grandma nodded.
Meanwhile, Dana had calmed down and decided to make things right with Littlefoot. He found him relaxing at the Tall Trees; Dana was glad that he was alone; since he wanted to talk to him privately.
"Uncle Littlefoot? Can I talk to you?" Dana asked.
Littlefoot looked over at the threehorn.
"Are you ready to talk without shouting?" Littlefoot wondered.
Dana nodded and went over to lie down and face Littlefoot.
"I'm really sorry I said all those mean things to you earlier; I have no idea what came over me; except that Mother still tries to control me; that's why I snapped," Dana explained.
Littlefoot nodded.
"Your grandfather told me about it and I forgive you for what you said to me and for shouting at me," Littlefoot said.
"Really?" Dana wondered.
"Yeah; I was your age once; the Time of Great Growing is a tough stage for all dinosaurs," Littlefoot claimed.
Dana smiled for the first time in days.
"Are we still friends?" Dana asked.
Littlefoot chuckled.
"Of course we're still friends; in fact, we're family; ever since Cera and I got married, you and Dinah became my niece and nephew; just like Amber, Xavier and Coco," Littlefoot stated.
"I wish my mother wasn't so protective," Dana admitted.
Littlefoot nodded.
"I'm sure if you tell her what's bothering you; she'll loosen up," Littlefoot claimed.
Dana scoffed.
"Unlikely; she's part of the problem," Dana replied.
Littlefoot chuckled. He hated seeing Dana mad at his mother and wanted to do something to cheer him up.
