Episode 2 - The Sharptoothed Menace

People scream when I smile!

Scene: The Great Valley, in the morning. Littlefoot sitting at his nest.

Littlefoot: (Sighs) "today hasn't been very fun. Actually, it's been pretty lonely.

Shorty: Walks up to Littlefoot "hey Littlefoot, How goes it?"

Littlefoot: "Okay, I guess"

Shorty: "you don't sound okay."

Littlefoot: "Well, I'm just kind of lonely."

Shorty: "Yeah, I'm lonely too. You wanna talk?"

Littlefoot: "Sure, It'll be something to do for today."

Scene: Cera and Ducky walking in a forest in the Great Valley, playing hide and seek with their friends.

Ducky: "Hide and seek sure is fun, yup yup yup!"

Cera: "It'd be more fun with Littlefoot here. He's always so easu to find."

Ducky: "Oh, it is not too bad. He will get to play with us tomorrow, he will."

Cera: "Yeah, I guess your right. Hey, What about the Professor? I thought he was going to play today.

Ducky: "He said he wanted to do some exploring in the Great Valley, but I did not want to explore with him, that would be boring. I have seen it all already."

Cera: "Oh, I get it."

She turns to a particular small tree, and start ramming it.

Cera: "And I can see you up there, Petrie!"

The tree shakes, and Petrie falls out, flailing, before smacking the ground.

Petrie: "Oh no! Me thought me had good hiding spot!"

Cera: "You'll have to try harder next time, Flyer. Maybe you forgot who your playing against!"

Ducky: "Cera is good at finding things, she is!"

Scene: The outskirts of the Great Valley.

The professor is out exploring and getting acquainted with his surroundings. He touches a big fern leaf in his hands and examines it.

Professor: "Hmm, an almost tropical climate. Very interesting that this area was so different 100 million years ago. Much nicer than my time. Everything isn't dieing."

He walks some and looks out at the Great Valley walls.

Professor: "This is a really big valley. Quite remarkable. It seems all of the dinosaurs living here are herbivorous. This place seems like a haven for them. A place with no predators."

A shadow rushes through the woods behind the professor, Who turns his head to see the shadow.

Professor: "Now what is that? One of those dinosaurs trying to play hide and seek with me or something?"

He shrugs it off, and returns to his studies.

Scene: Back at the longneck nest.

Littlefoot and Shorty are still talking.

Littlefoot: "So, how is it like living here?"

Shorty: "It's great! It's very different living in one place now. I used to travel with Bron and his herd all over the place when we were farwalkers."

Littlefoot: "yeah. Being a farwalker sounds great. But it's also dangerous."

Shorty: "Yes it was, But I do kind of miss getting to have adventures."

Littlefoot: "Well, you can still have adventures here, with me and my friends!"

Shorty: "Really?"

Littlefoot: "Yes, it isn't as boring here as you think. We go out on adventures all the time!"

He thinks a little, then adds.

Littlefoot:"...But don't tell Dad I said that!"

Shorty: "Hahaha! Oh, alright, I won't."

Scene: Professor at the outskirts of the Great Valley, close to the Secret Caves.

The shadowy figure moves again. This time, The Professor looks worried.

Professor: "A Dinosaur wouldn't be that sneaky, unless...Unless it's hunting."

Suddenly, the figure jumps out of the foliage. It's a young T-Rex sharptooth. The sharptooth roars at the professor.

-Commercial break-

This sharptooth looks furious, with it's eyes full of blood lust. It roars at the Professor in the sharptooth tongue.

Sharptooth: Who are you?

The Professor can't understand the Sharptooth, and just decides to takes a step back. The sharptooth takes a step forward.

Sharptooth: I said who are you? Don't play dumb with me, I know you can speak Sharptooth! Answer me!

Professor: (Whispering to himself.) "Whats he just standing there for?"

Sharptooth: Fine, have it your way!

He charges at the Professor, who takes off as well.

Professor: (under his breath) "And I thought this place was safe!" He finds a large stick with a particularly sharp pointed end, and grabs it. "This should help!".

The professor turns around to the Sharptooth, and shows the stick. The beast doesn't appear to be intimidated by the stick, And continues advancing. The human tries several strikes at him, but he only seems a little annoyed from the strikes. The Sharptooth takes a swipe at the Professor, It doesn't draw any blood, but just manages to rip his shirt. The professor starts running away again.

Professor: "No, this can't be happening to me!"

Scene: A forest in the Great Valley

Cera, Ducky, And Petrie are still playing hide and seek, on the lookout for Spike.

Cera: "hm, Where's Spike? We've all been looking forever. I'm ready to play something else!"

Ducky: "Oh, we'll find him soon, do not worry."

Petrie sees Spike in some dense foliage, eating it.

Petrie: "There he is!"

All three of them run over and tackle Spike, who looks kind of annoyed. He makes a little roar to show his dissatisfaction.

Cera: "He sure is good at this game!"

Ducky: (Laughing.) "I don not think he was playing. I think he was just eating!"

Petrie: "You right, he just hungry!"

Suddenly, Ruby comes running up to the group, looking worried.

Ducky: "Hey Ruby! It is Nice to see you back from seeing your family."

Ruby: "It was great, seeing my family again was Really great! But...Have you seen Chomper around?

Cera: "Nope, Haven't seen him anywhere. I thought he was with you."

Ruby: "well, he was. But we came back kind of late last night, and went right to sleep in the caves. This morning, I woke up, and he wasn't there."

Petrie: "Maybe he hungry like Spike."

Cera: "I hope he isn't craving threehorn soup, heh!"

Ducky: "yeah, I hope so too, yup yup yup!"

Ruby: "Well, I'm worried about him. Remember how I'm supposed to protect him? Hey, do you want to help me look for him?"

Cera: "I've already been playing hide and seek all day!"

Ducky: "Oh, come on. let us help Ruby. Chomper might need help!"

Cera: (sighs.) "Fine."

The Gang leaves to help Ruby in her search for Chomper.

Scene: Outskirts of the Great Valley.

The sharptooth is still chasing the Professor. The Professor runs some more, before getting another idea. He turns around, And with all his strength, He plunges the pointy end of the stick into the side of the sharptooth. The sharptooth Roars out in pain. The human steps back and gets a smug smile on his face, before the sharptooth grabs the stick with his jaws, pulls it out, and snaps it in his teeth.

Professor: "Wah oh!"

The Sharptooth chases the Professor to a cliff on one end of the Great Valley. It's a dead end, and the Professor is trapped.

Professor: "I didn't think I'd go like this!"

He then screams at the top of his lungs. Professor: "HELP!"

Scene: The longneck nest.

Littlefoot and Shorty are still chatting.

Shorty: "Well, I think I'm going to like it here!

Littlefoot: "That's good to hear. You didn't sound like that that the first time you visited here."

Shorty: "Oh, yeah, I remember! I was so scared of Chomper the first time I saw him."

Littlefoot: "You couldn't believe a sharptooth could be friends with flatteeth. It took a LOT of explaining before you changed your mind."

Shorty: "Yeah, but I'm glad I did. Chomper is great, And we've all had a lot of fun together since then."

Littlefoot: "Chomper and Ruby are coming back today, Maybe we can all play together tomorrow."

Shorty, "That would be fun!"

Suddenly, both of the longnecks hear the Professor yelling "HELP!" from far away in the distance.

Shorty: "What was that?"

Littlefoot: "that sounded like the Professor's voice, and he sounds like he's in trouble!"

Shorty: "Let's go!"

Shorty take off towards the sound of the old man's voice. Littlefoot get's up, but pauses for a moment to look back at the nest, remembering what Bron told him.

Littlefoot: "Yes, lets go. He may need us!"

Both of them run off to look for the Professor.

-Commercial break-

Scene: The Cliff at the outskirts of the Great Valley.

The Professor is still trapped at the cliff, with the sharptooth advancing on him.

Professor: "There has got to be something I can do!"

Getting desperate, He does something pretty foolish, because he sees no way out. He lungs forward, grabs the little sharptooth around the neck with both of his hands, and squeezes as hard as he can. The sharptooth is surprised that the human could try that, so he doesn't do anything for a moment.

Scene: Outskirts of the Great Valley.

Cera, Ducky, Spike, Petrie, and Ruby are out there looking for Chomper.

Ruby: "I'm starting to worry about Chomper, and I don't like it when he makes me worry."

Ducky: "don't worry Ruby, we will find Chomper, yup yup yup."

Cera: "It just isn't like Chomper to go out on his own. He's so young. Younger than any of us."

Petrie: "Seems like we have to babysit him sometimes, Don't it?

They hear the Professor's pleas for help as well.

Cera: "What was that?"

Ducky: "It's the Professor. He sounds like he's in trouble."

Cera: "Well, he can handle it himself. We need to find Chomper."

Ruby: "Don't talk like that Cera! If anyone needs help, We should help them. Would you like it if we didn't come for you because we thought you could handle it?"

Cera: "well, no. I guess I wouldn't like it. Alright, I guess we have two people we are looking for now."

Littlefoot and Shorty runs by everyone else. The group does not know what is going on, so they all follow and try talking to Littlefoot.

Ruby: "Hey, what's going on?"

Littlefoot: (getting out of breath.) "didn't you hear it? The Professor is in trouble!"

Cera: "We were just about to come for him too, What a small valley!"

Scene: A cliff at the outskirts of the Great Valley.

The sharptooth is still in the Professor's hands. He strikes at the Professor, making him cry out in pain, but also tightening his grip on the sharptooth, who begins to find it hard to breath.

The whole Gang come running in from behind some trees, and sees what is going on.

Littlefoot: "STOP! Stop it, now!"

both the Professor and the sharptooth turn their heads to the longneck.

Professor and Chomper: "Littlefoot?" The professor let's go of Chomper.

Chomper: "Whats going on?"

Professor: "I have the same question, What is this thing doing here?"

Littlefoot: "His name is Chomper, and He's not a thing!"

Ruby: "He's a friendly sharptooth."

Professor: "WHAT? Don't you idiots know creatures like that eat creatures like you!"

Chomper: "Most of us do, but I don't. I'm different."

Littlefoot: "...It's a long story. we met him when he was still an egg. We hatched him, and We're trying to raise him."

Cera: "Yeah, He's our friend!"

The Professor is not convinced, and just crosses his arms.

Professor: "Bunk! Bunk I say!"

Chomper: "That's not a very nice thing to say!"

Professor: "Humpth!"

Littlefoot: "So, why were you both fighting like that?"

Chomper: "Well, I was sleeping in the caves, when I heard a strange sound, and I got up to see what it was. I saw him looking around. I didn't know who he was, So I tried to protect you all from him. I thought it was something I had to do. Doesn't he eat meat?"

Littlefoot: "No, the Professor doesn't eat any meat."

The human's face blushes up, looking worried.

Professor: "Uh, It's true! I don't!"

Chomper: "He doesn't?"

Cera: "Well, it just sounds like a misunderstanding then."

Ducky: "I think Chomper and the Professor should make up.

Chomper: "Yeah, I'm sorry I tried to hurt you, Professor."

He exceeds his claw to shake the professor's hand. The Professor just stands there, looking angrily at Chomper.

Littlefoot: "Professor, Shake his claw!"

the Professor reluctantly shakes Chompers claw.

Professor: "I guess you're off this time."

Littlefoot: "Good, that's a little better."

The longneck turns his head. Littlefoot: "Oh no, I have to be back at my nest before Dad finds out I was gone!"

He runs off.

Petrie: "See you tomorrow Littlefoot! Well, maybe tomorrow."

Ducky: "Bye Littlefoot!"

Ruby: Now that that has all been settled, let's go home Chomper. It's getting late."

Cera: "Yeah, We should all be going to sleep."

The whole group say their good-nights, and start to disperse. The Professor angrily walks up to Chomper.

Professor: "I'll keep my eyes on you!"

Chomper: "Ruby, this new person is strange. He really doesn't like me. He's acting like Mr. Threehorn did when he met me."

Ruby: "Yes, he is. But think of now. Now he knows you're a friendly sharptooth, and he actually kind of likes you now.

Chomper: "Well, not really."

Ruby: "Just give the Professor some time, he'll change."

Chomper: "I hope you're right Ruby."

Ruby: "I still want to know though. Why did you attack him like that?"

Chomper: "I already told you."

Ruby: "I still don't believe you. You've never tried to attack a newcomer before."

Chomper: "I...had my reasons."

The fast runner has a look of concern on her face, but she drops the subject. Chomper and Ruby walk into the secret caves.
