Episode 5 - A Sharptooth in Need

Big nasty pointy teeth; it runs in the family...

Scene: The great valley, in the morning.

The view starts on a small clump of grass. The ground starts to shake gently, before lots of feet rush across the ground. It's the Gang and the Professor, all in a race against each other. The Professor is at the back of the pack, struggling and breathing heavily, when he trips and falls over.

Professor: "Gah! I was never good at this!"

Chomper cuts in front of everyone else.

Chomper: "Ha, I'm winning!"

Petrie flies over Chomper's head.

Petrie: "Not anymore you not!"

He makes it to the tree at the finish line.

Petrie: "Me Win! Me win!"

The rest of the gang, only a little behind, makes it to the finish.

Littlefoot: "Good race, everyone!"

Cera: "I'll win next time!"

Chomper: "Whatever you say, Cera. Just like the ten other times."

Ducky: "Hey, where did the Professor go?"

The Professor walks up to the group, gasping for air.

Littlefoot: "Wow, are you alright, Professor?"

Professor: "Yeah... I'm just... heave... not that good at running is all."

Chomper: "That's not a very good thing!"

Ruby: "Yeah, what if something is chasing you?"

Professor: "Oh, heheh. I've got other ways of dealing with that."

A flying Sharptooth comes flying in from across the cliff at the edge of the Great Valley. The Professor ducks behind a tree.

Ducky: "Oh no, The flying sharptooth is back!"

Littlefoot: "Wait, what?"

Chomper: "No, wait! this is a different one. I know him!"

He walks up ahead of the rest of sharptoothed flyer lands in front of Chomper and the Gang. He licks his lips at the Flatteeth, but doesn't move. He starts talking to Chomper in the Sharptooth language. Chomper talks back, and they have a conversation. The Professor comes out from behind the tree.

Professor: "Hmm?"

Petrie: "What they talking about?"

Professor: "Probably which one of us he wants first."

Cera: "I hope not!"

The Flyer says something to Chomper, and Chomper face looks of surprised.

Chomper: "No, NO! It can't be!"

The flyer takes off, and leaves the valley.

Littlefoot walks up to the side of Chomper.

Littlefoot: "What's wrong, Chomper?"

Chomper: "It's my mommy. She's really sick. My dad thinks she's dying!"

Everyone gasps.

Cera: "That's awful!"

Chomper: "We have to go help her!"

Professor: "Well, I'm not going."

Ducky: "You need to go, you do!"

Professor: "Well, why should I?"

Ruby: "Ducky is right. You're a farwalker. You know a lot of things. You could help her using the things that you know.

Chomper: "Please. Help her, Professor!"

Littlefoot pushes on the Professor's back with his head.

Littlefoot: "Come on, you have to!"

Professor: "Oh, I suppose I'll go."

Chomper's face lights up.

Chomper: "Thank you! Thank you so much Professor!"

Ducky: "Let's all go. I want to see Chomper's parents again!"

Ruby: "Yeah, we'd be safer if we had friends with us."

Professor: "WHAT!"

Scene: The Mysterious Beyond. It's fairly foggy.

The whole Gang is walking through the fog in search of Comper parents.

Chomper: "They have to be here somewhere."

Professor: "I don't know why you flatteeth wanted to come along. Aren't those big Sharpteeth just going to eat you?

Littlefoot: "Oh, they wouldn't eat us. We're Chomper's friends."

Professor: "I still don't believe it!"

Chomper: "We'll, when me and my parents were on that island, my friends got stuck on it one time. Littlefoot saved my life, And my parents said that they would all be safe with them."

Professor: "Really?"

Chomper: "Yeah. It's all true."

Professor: "I'll believe it when I see it!"

Petrie: "So we going back to island?"

Chomper: "No, they don't live there anymore. They live deep in the Mysterious Beyond now.

Littlefoot: "What happened?"

Chomper: "We had to leave. We were running out of food."

Cera: "He means WE left!"

Littlefoot stares angrily at Cera.

Chomper: "Elsie helped us get across the Big Water. It wasn't easy, since both my parents are pretty big, but we managed it somehow."

Ruby: "And now they are here, away from Redclaw."

Professor: "So Redclaw isn't out here?

Chomper: "No. He stays around the Great Valley. Thats why we run in to him all the time!"

Sharptooth roars are heard.

Cera: "Is that your parents, Chomper?"

Chomper: Gulps. "Nope, it's not!"

Ducky: "That is what I was afraid of, oh no."

A Fast Biter Walks out of the mist, growls, and snaps it's mouth at the Gang.

Chomper: "Run!"

The whole Gang runs off, with the Fast Biter following.

Littlefoot: "Is it Screech or Thud?"

Chomper: "No, it's not either of them either."

The Fast Biter Roars at them again.

Chomper: "Sounds just as mean, though!"

The Gang is chased by the Fast Biter to a dead end rock wall.

Professor: "Who put this here?"

Petrie: "We done for. He gonna eat us!"

Cera: "Can you do anything Chomper?"

Chomper: "He's too big for me!"

Littlefoot: "You have to do something!"

Chomper: "Um..." Hey, you! Stay away from my dinner!

The fast biter laughs.

Fast Biter: Heh, isn't that a little much for a little biter like you?

Chomper: Don't call me little!

Fast Biter: Just get out of my way, and I won't eat you too!.

Chomper looks back at his friends.

Chomper: "...Yeah, I didn't think that would work."

The Gang takes steps backwards until they're up against the rock wall, and can go no further.

Ruby: "I didn't think we would die by a sharptooth by trying to help another Sharptooth!"

A loud, thunderous roar is heard from behind the Fast Biter. The Fast Biter runs off to the side to get away. Ducky wipes her head.

Ducky: "Whew."

The ground starts shaking.

Cera: "Earth shake?"

Littlefoot: "No, something BIG is coming!"

A T-Rex Sharptooh Comes walking up to the Gang. It roars at them, and the whole Gang screams.

-Commercial break-

The giant sharptooth roars at the Gang again, and then appears to be laughing. Chomper's face lights up.

Chomper: "Dad!"

The Professor removes his hands from his face.

Professor: "So, this is Chomper's father?"

Petrie: "That what he just said, Hatchling!"

Cera: "So, what did your dad say, Chomper?"

Chomper: "He said you're all so cute when your scared!"

Cera: "WHAT!"

She takes a big step towards Chomper's Dad.

Cera: "And what gives You the right to laugh at us like that?

Chomper's Dad takes a step toward Cera, and the ground shakes again.

Cera: "Um, good point."

Chomper's dad Roars again.

Chomper: "He said don't worry, He won't eat any of you!"

The big sharptooth lowers his head to look at the Professor and licks his lips.

Chomper's Dad:What about this little morsel?

Chomper runs up between his dad and the Professor.

Chomper: He's my friend too. He's here to help Mom!

Chomper's Dad: Well, okay then. Let me take you to your mom.

Chomper: Let's go! I want to see her!

He turns to the Gang.

Chomper: "Alright, We're going to go see my Mom now."

everyone starts following Chomper's Dad into the woods.

Scene: A clearing in the forest.

Chomper's Mom is laying down in the Clearing. Chomper's Dad walks out of the forests, and the Gang follows. Chomper get's a concerned look on his face, and runs over to his mom.

Chomper: Mom! Whats wrong?

She lets out a low and hard to hear growl.

Chomper's Mom: Hey darling. I have missed you a lot.

She takes in a weak breath.

Chomper's Mom: I have been sick for days, and it keeps getting worse.

Chomper's dad walks over and nuzzles his mate.

Chomper: "She's real bad."

Professor: "Will you translate for me? I'll take a look at her."

Chomper: "Sure I will! What should I say?"

he translates the next few lines from his mom.

Professor: "Where does it hurt?"

Chomper: "It hurts all over."

Professor: "Hm. Does your bones hurt?

Chomper: "I think so."

Professor: "Are you lightheaded? Do you have a bad headache?"

Chomper: "Yes, my head hurts A lot too."

The Professor climbs up Chomper's Mom's face, opens one of her eyelids wide, and shines his flashlight in it.

Professor: "Wow, Her eyes are Really bloodshot."

Chomper: "Is that bad?"

Professor: "I don't know yet. I'll have to take a look in her throat."

Chomper and his mom Talk back and forth in Sharptooth.

Chomper: "My mom said she can't open her mouth enough. We'll have to help her."

The Gang gets slightly worried looks on their faces, but they decide to help.

Littlefoot: "Well, I guess we need to help her."

The Gang crowds around the mouth of Chomper's mom. They try to push up on her lip and gums while staying away from her teeth. Her mouth slowly opens up, And the Professor climbs in.

Professor: "Wow, it sure is smelly in here. At least it's breezy."

He walks to the back of her throat, and peeks down.

Professor: "These walls sure do look red and irritated."

He climbs out of the mouth of Chomper's Mother.

Chomper: "Well...?"

Professor: "It looks pretty bad, but I think I know what will help her. I remember a special nectar my people made medicine out of. some Epiphyllum Oxypetalum should work."

Littlefoot: "Epi...what?"

Ducky: "Your kind sure does have strange names for everything, they do!"

Professor: "Sorry about that. Um, it's a flower that only blooms at night, and it is gold in color."

Ducky: "Oh, I know what you are talking about now. You mean night flowers?"

Professor: "Yeah, that's probably it."

Littlefoot: "I remember. One time we went to this place called the Land of Mists."

Littlefoot: "There are a lot of night flowers there."

Cera: "...And I think it's close to here too."

Professor: "Well, I'll go there and get some then."

Ducky: "I will go with you too. You do not know the way."

Chomper: "You sure you want to go? It might be dangerous."

The Professor pulls out some kind of handheld weapon out of his backpack.

Professor: "We'll be fine. I'm really more concerned about Littlefoot and the other herbivores... er, flatteeth."

Chomper: "If you mean what I think you do, you don't have to worry. They'll be safe with us!"

Ducky rushes up and pulls on the Professor's leg.

Ducky: "Let us go already. We cannot waste any time, no no no!"

Professor: "Oh, okay."

Ruby: "I Want to see the this Land of Mists too, so I'll come along to see it."

The Professor, Ruby and Ducky head off toward the Land of Mists. The rest of the Gang wave goodbye to them.

Scene: The Great Valley.

All the grownups are coming together. Spike is sleeping next to Ducky's Mom.

Ducky's mom: "Hey, does anybody know where ducky is?"

Bron: "No."

Grandma Longneck: "Has anybody seen Littlefoot?"

Petrie's Mom: "No, I haven't seen either of them. Wait, Where's Petrie?"

Tria: "And what about Cera?"

: "I don't think anybody has seen them all day."

Bron: "What's going on? All the kids are gone!"

Shorty Walks up to Bron.

Shorty: "I'm here."

Bron: "Did any of the kids tell you what they were going to do, Shorty?"

Shorty: "No, None of them talked to me today. I don't know where they are."

: Has a angry but also worried look on his face. "Looks like we have to look for them again!"

Scene: The same clearing in the Mysterious Beyond, at night.

The Gang are huddled around Chompers parents. They are telling stories and remembering the past. Chomper is translating for everyone, so the Flatteeth and Sharpteeth know what each other are saying.

Littlefoot: "So, I was the only one to come back to Chomper. He was such a little hatchling then, and he needed someone."

Cera: "Yeah. Littlefoot brought Chomper back to us. Then that little sharptooth bit my tail!"

Chomper's Dad: (Laughs.) I always knew Chomper would be a good hunter!

Petrie: "Me no think that something to laugh about..."

Littlefoot: "A little later that day. I remember both of you found me and Chomper on a log. Chomper said something to you, and you just took him. Did he tell you not to eat me?"

Chomper's Dad: No, Chomper couldn't really talk yet. You did look pretty tasty, Littlefoot, but We were just glad to find Chomper.

Littlefoot takes a step back.

Chomper's Dad: I still find it really strange that Chomper is friends with all of you.

Chomper doesn't translate this, but instead replies back.

Chomper: Well, they saved my life. Twice even. Aren't you grateful for that?

Chomper's Dad: Of course I am, but I still find it weird. It's,, just not right.

Cera: "What are they talking about now?"

Chomper quickly tries to reassure Cera.

Chomper: "Nothing! It was nothing."

Littlefoot: "Well, it's getting late now. We should go to sleep."

Chomper: "You're right, Littlefoot. I guess the Professor and Ducky will be back in the morning then."

Cera: "Good night."

Petrie: "Night Cera."

Littlefoot: "Good night, everyone!"

Everyone else says good night and goes to sleep. Littlefoot lays down his head, closes his eyes, and the scene cuts out.

-Commercial break-

Scene: Morning in the forest clearing.

Both of Chomper's Parents are awake. Chomper and the Gang are still asleep. Littlefoot opens his eyes to see a dead Domehead in front of him. Chomper's Mom is eating from it. Littlefoot jumps and screams. Chomper and the Rest of the Gang wake up and see the dead dinosaur as well.

Cera: "RUN!"

The Gang tries to run away. Chomper just stands there in shock. Chomper's Dad blocks their path.

Littlefoot: "Whats going on?"

Chomper's Dad: Well, Chomper's Mom had to eat, and she couldn't get up and eat somewhere else, so I had to kill something and bring it to her.

Chomper translates, then looks down in shame.

Chomper: "I'm sorry you had to see that, guys."

Chomper's Dad: I'm not!

Chomper: That's a very mean thing to say, Dad!

Chomper's Dad just walks off towards Chomper's Mom.

Littlefoot: "Well, at least she isn't eating us. We should be grateful for that."

From the distance, everyone hears the voice of the Professor.

Professor: (Yelling.) "Hello? Are ya'll still there? Did They eat you all yet?"

Chomper yells back.

Chomper: "Nope, they're still here!"

Professor: "Whatever."

Cera: "Welcome back Ducky and Ruby. And the Professor too, I guess."

Ducky: "Hey everyone."

Ruby: "Yes, hello. It was so fun having fun in the Land of Mists."

Petrie: "You bring back night flowers?"

Professor: "Of course! Got a hot steaming batch right here!"

Chomper: "That's good to hear!"

Scene fades into the next scene.

Scene: The Gang is around Chomper's Mom.

Chomper's Mom is eating the Night Flowers, but she doesn't look like she likes it.

Chomper: How is it?

Chomper's Mom: Bleh, I liked that domehead a lot better.

Chomper: Well Just eat it. It'll make you feel better!

Littlefoot: "I never knew a sharptooth would eat any greenfood."

Chomper: "We don't, unless it's medicine. Even then, we don't like it."

Professor: "So, how is she? Is she feeling any better?"

Chomper's Mom: Other than that bad taste in my mouth, I'm felling better.

She struggles a little bit, and is able to stand Gang cheers. Chomper's dad roars loudly, which spooks them.

Scene: Somewhere else in the Mysterious beyond, a little closer to the Great Valley.

Chomper, Ruby, The Professor, and the Gang are heading back to the Great 's mom and dad are waving goodbye to them.

Cera: "I'll feel a lot better when we make it back to the Great Valley.

Chomper looks down to the ground.

Chomper: "Yeah, I guess my parents were pretty bad."

Littlefoot: "No they weren't, Chomper. They weren't as nice as you are, but they were kind of nice."

Professor: "Yeah, I guess they aren't THAT bad."

Ruby: "Well, they are friends with my parents. They might act mean sometimes, but they do act nice sometimes too."

Ducky: "I like them a lot better than Redclaw, I do!"

Chomper looks up at everyone else and smiles.

Chomper: "Thank you. Your all so understanding!"

The Gang walk off into the distance, and the scene starts to fades out.

Cera: "Hey! Wait a second!"

The scene comes back.

Cera: "Did you tell everyone where we were going, Littlefoot?"

Littlefoot: "Um, Uh..."

Scene fades out again.
