Chapter 2: Friendship Race
It was a bright morning in the Great Valley when Littlefoot awoke to have some tree stars. "Those tree stars are so good," he said to himself as he ate. Turning his head to see Grandma Longneck having water, he approached her. "Grandma, I was just wondering, about that story Grandpa told me last night about Senior Longneck. Do you think he could be...making it up?"
Grandma Longneck chuckled. "Nonsense, Littlefoot. Your grandfather would never make up any story."
"But the only story I remember was that bad luck spread around the Great Valley since a bad thing happened to Saurus Rock, and from what really happened to the Saurus Rock before now had happened for real."
"That was then, Littlefoot. This is now."
Littlefoot sighed. "I know."
"Littlefoot!" said Cera as she approached Littlefoot.
"Cera," said Littlefoot. "What are you doing here?"
"I was wondering if we can have a race around the Great Valley."
"What kind of race?"
"A race of friendship, of course. There's no win or lose. Just a game for us."
"Oh, boy! I can't wait for a race!"
"Then let's go! The others are waiting for us!"
As Cera and Littlefoot ran, a rat poked its head out of the hole and watched them run before crawling back in.
It was a while later when Littlefoot met Cera with Ducky, Petrie, and Spike.
"Littlefoot! Glad you can make it! Yep, yep, yep!" said Ducky.
"So what if I didn't?" Littlefoot asked.
"Me ready for race!" said Petrie.
"All right, guys, let's do it. Ready...set...go!"
The gang ran down the valley, laughing. As they ran by, Littlefoot was catching up the lead.
"You won't go in the lead that easy, Littlefoot," said Cera, catching up.
"I'm a good runner for a longneck, Cera," said Littlefoot. "You won't try and catch me!"
The gang laughed as they ran up and down the hills. Sometimes they roll down the hills whenever they trip.
"This is fun!" Ducky giggled.
"You said it, Ducky," said Ruby.
The race continued on, with Littlefoot in the lead, Cera in the second, Ruby in the third, Chomper in the fourth Petrie and Ducky in the fifth, and Spike in the sixth, but as Cera said, there's no win or lose. The race is just for fun.
"Littlefoot, you sure run pretty good," Chomper said.
"Well, I run faster than you, Chomper," said Ruby.
"Me can fly fast," Petrie said.
Spike picked up Ducky and put her on his back.
"Whoa! I guess a ride on Spike wouldn't hurt. Nope, nope, nope," said Ducky.
Getting tired from all the flapping, Petrie landed on Littlefoot's back. "Me pooped," he said. "Me tired of flying."
"Then rest on my back for now," Littlefoot panted. "This is so good for the hearts."
"Yeah, until someone gets real tired of running," Cera said.
"You're on, Cera!"
"This race must be a lot of fun anyway," Chomper said.
The gang ran out of the Great Valley and into the canyon. Little do they know that danger awaits them in the canyon.
