Ali and Littlefoot were much older now. Ali had decided to stay behind ever since Lucastrof died. Ali's mother was appalled by the idea, but Ali told her that she needed him in her life and was the only one that could satisfy her needs as a woman. Ali's mother smiled and said she would also remain in the Great Valley.

Vinna was adopted by the only two rainbow faces in the Great Valley. They had heard her parents were murdered by Lucastrof from Ali. They agreed to take care of her. Vinna grew happier as the years passed with her new family.

Grandpa Longneck told the young ones the tale of Lucastrof. He felt like they needed to know. He had kept it from Littlefoot, but the secret was out when Abe showed up. He needed to inform the young ones what happened in the past to keep the legend alive. He added to the legend about the four magical creatures that rose up to Lucastrof and defeated him once and for all.

Grandpa and Grandma Longneck lived for five more years after Lucastrof's death. They died during their sleep. Littlefoot reported that his grandparents were dead and went to their ceremonial burial. But he disappeared the next day. Ali grew worry and went off to find him. She found him looking down in the shallow water of the river behind the tall trees.

"Littlefoot?"

He heard her, but he didn't even bother turning around. Ali slowly walked up to him and sat down next to him. He faced her and scuttled away a little to the right Annoyed, Ali squirted him with water.

"What was that for?" he asked irritated.

"For scuttling away from me. I came to see if you're okay."

Littlefoot lowered his head.

"No. My grandparents are dead, and who knows where my father is now. Now, I am alone."

Ali huffed and squirted Littlefoot with water again. Before he could yell, Ali spoke.

"Alone? Littlefoot, you are never alone."

"That's not what I mean. My family is all gone. I feel like I am truly the last of my herd."

Ali looked at the male longneck and licked his cheek. Littlefoot blushed and looked at Ali. She smiled dreamily.

"You may be the last of your herd now, but I think we can make it bigger later on."

Littlefoot's cheeks turned the darkest shade of red Ali had said. Littlefoot was surprised that Ali had said that. He didn't want her to think she felt sorry for him and did this out of pity. He tested her.

"Ali, the way you say it makes it sound like if we want to do…that now."

Ali realized that and thought she screwed it up with Littlefoot who probably thought of her as a slut.

"But I just want to be with you and show you that I want to be part of your family too. Ever since we journeyed with Abe, the only reason I agreed to follow you was because…I love you."

Littlefoot's heart was doing somersaults of joy.

"You really mean it? For the longest time, I love you too, Ali. I just always convinced myself that now was not the perfect time when I tried to tell you."

"Well, I think now is the perfect time. Another thing I learned from Abe was that when a day feels terrible, the next day will get better."

Littlefoot smiled and leaned over to kiss her. As he did, he took one step forward and accidentally tripped on a rock. He fell into the water, bringing Ali with him. They both shook off and laughed about it.

"Not the best first time," commented Littlefoot.

"No, but I think this will be better."

She leaned forward and kissed him. He returned the affection. The world stood still for both of them. Everything was lost in that kiss. They parted, and reality came back down to Earth. They smiled and got out of the water. Seeing that they were old enough now, the two longnecks ran to a better hiding spot to be alone in.


Abe visited the Carnegie Museum back in his time. He was in search for the last piece, but it was pretty obvious. The reason why the four objects glowed and revived him was because the fifth object commanded them to. It was late in night, but he managed to sneak into the museum undetected. He walked over the people-empty rooms of the museum until he saw what he was looking for. Two Apatosauruses were being held together with steel bars and steel strings. One was female, and the other was male. Before doing what he needed to do, he read the description about them.

These fossils of two Apatosauruses were donated to the museum in 1991. Scientists have dated the bones back to 10,000 B.C. They are baffled why the bones are so young compared to other Apatosauruses they found. Plus, these bones contain a unique signature that others don't. Scientists see it was impossible for dinosaurs to live through the ice age, but these two were the exception. These two structures were discovered in El Paso, Texas in 1890. Archeologists were amazed that these two structures were complete and that they showed little signs of damage. The one to the right is male, and the one to the left is female. It is presumed that these two were mates and lived together. This discovery helps scientists to see the marital status between the Apatosaurus and hopefully other dinosaurs.

Abe smiled at the two structures. He walked up to the male structure and petted its leg. There was a symbol of law inscribed in the bone. Abe clawed the symbol out and smiled.

"No one needs to know you're the Bone of Law. A dinosaur will prove himself worthy in this lawful valley where dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes live in harmony because of his reign. The Law of Bone supports this leader, because he would die otherwise. Littlefoot, thank you for everything as well. I'll see you later."

Abe hopped off the stage and left the museum. The two friends he once knew stood proud as the moon shined upon them.
