Under The Weather chapter 3
After their talk with Topsy, Dinah and Dana decided to visit their best friends/cousins Amber, Xavier and Coco at the Tall Trees. The triplets saw the twins rushing up to meet have worried expressions on their faces.
"Hey guys; what's up?" Amber asked.
"Nothing much; except that Uncle Littlefoot is sick with the flu," Dinah replied.
Amber nodded.
"I know; the three of us went by his nest earlier before coming here; Aunt Cera told us," Amber explained.
Dinah and Dana nodded.
"I hope he gets better; nobody deserves to get sick," Coco replied.
"We do too," Dana said.
Meanwhile at Littlefoot and Cera's nest, Littlefoot was wide awake and coughing. He tried to eat again; but, he can't keep anything down. His throat was sore enough without the vomiting added to the virus he has. Cera was sitting at his side in case he started choking on the food that was coming up his throat.
"Don't worry, dear; you'll get better; the kids wish you well," Cera reminded him.
Littlefoot stopped vomiting and looked over at Cera. A small smile was now on his face.
"That's nice to hear," Littlefoot said.
"Well; they love you and want you to get better," Cera admitted.
Littlefoot smiled.
A while later, Topsy went over to the Thundering Falls for a drink. He met up with Grandma and Grandpa Longneck while they were getting a drink.
"Hey you two," Topsy said.
The elderly longnecks looked down at their friend with smiles on their faces.
"How are you doing?" Grandma asked.
Topsy shrugged.
"Meh; I'm worried about Littlefoot; he passed out on me this morning; not on top of me; it would have broken every bone in my body if that happened," Topsy explained.
Grandma shook her head.
"Oh the poor dear," Grandma sighed sadly.
"It's nothing to worry about; as far as I know, Cera is taking care of him like a faithful wife should," Topsy told the elder female.
"And he would do the same if Cera was sick," Grandpa added.
"I would also do the same for Tria like she would for me," Topsy claimed.
Grandma nodded.
"That doesn't mean I'm still not gonna worry; even though Littlefoot is all grown up; I still feel like it's my duty to care for him; I was the only other mother-figure in his life," Grandma replied.
"Yeah; I care about him too; he's been like a son to me ever since he and Cera got married," Topsy stated.
The elderly couple nodded. Topsy walked up to the water and took a drink. He was especially thirsty that afternoon.
"Wow; I've never seen you take that much water in one drink before," Grandpa said.
Topsy stopped drinking and nodded.
"I was very thirsty," Topsy replied.
He left the watering hole shortly afterwards and headed back to his nest.
