Scene: The Great Valley, at the longneck nest, in the morning.

Littlefoot is the only one still at the nest, and he is asleep. Cera trots up to the nest and nudges Littlefoot.

Cera: "Hey, get up sleepyneck!"

Littefoot: He wakes up and yawns. "Oh, hey Cera. What are you doing here?"

Cera: "Well, I felt like playing something."

Littlefoot: "You know we can't play. We all got in trouble yesterday, remember?"

Cera: "That's not going to stop a Threehorn!"

Littlefoot: "I wouldn't want to mess with . Didn't he chew you out?"

Cera: "Yeah, But I sneaked away."

Littlefoot: "Didn't catch you leaving?"

Cera: "No, he wasn't around when I woke up. Tria and Tricia were gone too."

Littlefoot: "That's... weird."

He takes a moment to notice that his folks are also gone.

Littlefoot: "Hey, where's Bron and Grandma?"

Cera: "No idea. Haven't seen them around either."

Littlefoot: "Well, If no one is here, guess we could sneak off and look for em."

Cera: "Now that sounds like a plan!"

Scene: The Watering Hole, close to the swimmer nest.

Ducky and Spike are playing in the water. They're playing another game of swimmer splasher. Ducky just catches Spike.

Ducky: "I have finally found you spike! It was very hard to find you when you cannot say splasher, it was."

Spike: "Huh..."

He isn't very interested, and sticks his head underwater.

Ducky: "What are you doing Spike? I thought we were playing swimmer splasher."

Spike pops his head back out of the water with some water greens in his mouth. He scarfs them down, and goes for another dunk.

Ducky: "I guess this whole time, you were not playing, huh?"

She laughs, while Cera and Littlefoot walks up to the edge of the water.

Cera: "Hey Ducky and Spike! What are you two doing?"

Ducky: "Eating, I guess, That is what Spike is doing anyway, yup yup yup."

Littlefoot: "Hey, you seen any of the Grownups?"

Ducky: "No, I have not seen anyone. Not even my mom."

Littlefoot: "That sounds... suspicious."

Cera: "Whats wrong? We get to play some mean old grownups aren't around to yell at us!"

Littlefoot: "But this is serious. They might be in trouble!"

Cera: "Oh, they aren't in any trouble. They're grownups, They'd know what to do."

Littlefoot: "Yeah, but I'm still worried."

Petrie is flying through the air yelling.

Ducky: "It is Petrie! But he does not sound so good, no."

Petrie: "Oh no, Oh no, Oh nohoho!"

Littlefoot: "What's wrong, Petrie?"

He crashes into the side of Littlefoot.

Petrie: "It's horrible!"

Cera: "What's wrong, flyer?"

Petrie: "It's mom, She not here! She always here when I wake up!"

Littlefoot: "Well, none of our parents are here either."

Cera: "Yeah, It's really nice, ain't it."

Petrie: "Nice? NICE! What wrong with you!

Littlefoot: "Calm down Petrie. We're going to go look for them."

Ducky: "Yes, cheer up Petrie. We will find them, yup yup yup!"

Petrie: "Yes. Calm down."

He fly's over and lands on Littlefoot's head.

Petrie: "Calm down... calm down..."

Cera: "Well, if you hatchlings want to waste our free time looking for our grownups, then guess I'll help. Besides, I'm the best at finding things!"

Chomper and Ruby walk in on the scene. The little sharptooth yells from a distance.

Chomper: "Hey you guys!"

Both of them make it to the rest of the Gang.

Littlefoot: "Hey Chomper. Hey Ruby. How's it going?"

Ruby: "Well, Chomper was bored, so we were looking for friends to talk to so he wouldn't be bored anymore."

Chomper: "Yeah. and I'm also sorry that I got you all in so much trouble yesterday."

Ducky: "It is okay, Chomper. That adventure was a lot of fun."

Ruby: "And we helped someone who really needed help. You don't have to feel sorry, Chomper."

Littlefoot: "Yeah, we were happy to help!"

Chomper: "I'm happy you helped too!"

Littlefoot: "So, I guess neither of you have seen any grownups around today either?"

Chomper: "Actually, we have seen them."

Cera: "Really?"

Ruby: "Yes we have. they've all gone over to the hidden valley to greet a herd of farwalkers that are coming through.'

Littlefoot: "Really?"

Ducky: "So that is what all of our parents were doing."

Cera: "What herd is it?"

Ruby: "I don't know who they are."

Littlefoot: "Let's go see who it is!"

Cera: "But our parents will see us!"

Petrie: "Me wanna see mom!"

Ducky: "And I want to see who this herd is, yup yup yup."

Littlefoot: "If we sneak in there, no one's gonna see us!"

Cera: "Oh, alright.

Chomper: "Let's go Already!"

The gang head off towards the Hidden Valley.

Scene: The Hidden Valley.

Chomper walks along the stone wall of the cave connecting the Hidden Valley to the Great Valley. He walks out of the cave, puts his sniffer on the ground, sniffs around some, and motions the Gang to come out.

Chomper: "It's clear, you can all come out now!"

Littlefoot walks out of the cave and looks out into the valley.

Littlefoot: "I can see our parents way over there."

He points his tail out to the other side of the small valley, while the rest of the Gang makes their way out of the cave.

Cera: "They're all blocking the farwalker herd, I can't see who they are!"

Ruby: "Let's get closer to see if we can get a closer look!"

The Gang sneak into the forest of pear-shaped treesweets and edge closer to the grownups and the new herd. Chomper puts his claws over his nose, while Flying up into a tree for a better view.

Petrie: "I see! I See!"

Cera: "Who is it?"

Petrie: "It the longneck herd!"

Littlefoot: "Really? They haven't been here in a long time!"

Littlefoot Peeks his head out from behind a tree, and sees Ali in the midst of the migrating longneck herd.

Littlefoot: "Hey, everybody, it's Ali!"

-Commercial break-

Chomper: "It's Ali?"

Littlefoot: "Yeah. She's right over there. She's back! She's finally back!"

Cera: "I wonder if she's still with that annoying little Rhett!"

Littlefoot: "I don't know, but I want to see her!"

Littlefoot Starts to run out. Cera runs out, bites Littlefoot's tail, and drags him back into the foliage.

Littlefoot: "OW! What you do that for?"

Cera: "Shush. We don't want to get caught by the grownups, do we?"

Littlefoot: "...No, I guess not. But then how are we going to meet Ali?"

Ducky: "We could try to get her attention."

Littlefoot: "Good idea!"

Ruby: "Can't I just go out there and bring her over" My parents aren't here to see me."

Petrie: "That better idea!"

Ducky: "How did I not think of that?"

Ruby: "I'll be back in a minute."

Ruby goes to Ali, Says something to her, and both of them come running over into the foliage.

Ali: "Hey everyone!"

Littlefoot: "It's so good to see you Ali!"

Ali: "It's good to see you too, Littlefoot."

Cera: "How you been?"

Ali: "Oh, I've been pretty good, I guess.

Chomper Walks out of the foliage, and up to Ali.

Chomper: "Hey Ali, remember me?"

Ali backs away some in fear, but quickly comes back.

Ali: "Chomper? Oh, I remember you now. Your that friendly little sharptooth!"

Chomper: "That's me!"

Ali: "Why are you covering your nose, Chomper?"

Chomper: "All of these treesweets smell bad to Sharpteeth. It even makes us sick if we stay around here too long."

Littlefoot: "Hey, would you want to play something with us?"

Ali: "Of course!

Chomper gently grabs onto Littlefoot leg with one claw, while covering his snout with the other.

Chomper: "Littlefoot? Can we go back now? Please?

Ali: "What kind of games you wanna play today?"

Littlefoot: "Oh, I don't know.

Ali: "Maybe swimmer splasher? Tag?

Chomper: "Um, Littlefoot?"

Littlefoot: "Well, I'm sure we'll think of something.

Chomper finally passes out, and falls on the ground. Everyone else stares at him.

Scene: The Great Valley.

The Gang, Chomper, Ruby, and Ali are playing tag, with the one that's it, Cera, pretending to be a sharptooth.

Cera: "Grr, Grr. Roar!. Grr."

Everyone else is running and laughing.

Littlefoot: "Run everyone!"

Petrie: "She gonna get us!"

Chomper: "She's pretty good at being a sharptooth!"

Littlefoot trips and falls over, allowing Cera to run up and jump on him.

Cera: "I got you now!"

Littlefoot: "Aww."

Cera gets up off of Littlefoot to look for someone else. The longneck stays down low, and watches.

Cera: "Grr! Where are you guys? Grr! You can't hide forevor!"

She puts her nose on the ground and acts like she's sniffing for everyone else, but of course she can't find anyone. Chomper sneaks up behind her.

Chomper: (Yelling) "I take that back!"

Cera jumps around in surprise, shakes her head, and takes off after Chomper.

Cera: "I'll get you, my little flattooth!"

Ali walks up to Littlefoot, and laws down next to him.

Ali: "She got you too, huh?"

Littlefoot: "Yup."

Ali: "It's been nice playing with you all. I haven't even seen someone my age in awhile." She lowers her head.

Littlefoot: "It isn't time to be sad, you know. You have us now!"

Ali: (Sighs.) "Yeah, I guess so."

Cera and Chomper walk up to Littlefoot and Ali.

Cera: "I think I'm done being a sharptooth now."

Chomper: "I'm done too. I don't think I'd want to be a flattooth."

Littlefoot: "Cera get you too?"

Chomper: "Yup. I shouldn't have said what I said!"

He laughs.

Cera: "This is a lot better than the last time you were here!"

Ali: "How so?"

Cera: "No annoying little Rhett to ruin all the fun!"

Ali's eyes start to tear up, and she runs away.

Littlefoot: "What's going on?

Ducky: "I do not know, no."

Cera: "Was it something I said?"

Littlefoot stares annoyingly at Cera, then gets up and turns toward where Ali ran off.

Littlefoot: "I'll go see what this is all about."

He runs off to look for Ali.

-Commercial break-

Scene: The Watering Hole.

Ali is at the edge of the later, looking down at her own reflection. Littlefoot walks up beside her.

Littlefoot: "Hey, Ali. What's wrong?"

Ali: "It's just Rhett."

Her eyes start watering again.

Littlefoot: "What about Rhett?"

Ali: "Oh, It was horrible!"

Littlefoot: "What happened?"

Another tear comes from her eye.

Ali: "It was over a cold time ago. Me and Rhett got separated from our herd."

Scene fades into a flashback scene as Ali is saying the last sentence.

Scene: The Mysterious beyond, in a canyon.

Ali and Rhett are running through the bottom of the canyon. Behind them, a fast biter is chasing them.

Ali: "Rhett, he's gaining on us!"

The fast biter roars.

Rhett: "You don't have to remind me of that!"

Ali: "I'm scared!"

Rhett: "I'm scared too, Ali."

Ali and Rhett come to a dead end.

Ali: "What are we gonna do?"

Rhett look around.

Rhett: "Hey, There's a hole behind this bush!"

Ali and Rhett squeeze behind the bush and goes through the whole just as the fast biter get's there and sinks his teeth into the bush. He spits it out when he realizes it's not meat, then slowly crawls through the same hole.

Rhett: "That was close!"

Ali: "I don't know how long we can keep this up!"

Rhett stops running. Ali turns around, confused.

Ali: "Rhett, what are you doing?"

Rhett: "Just go on. I don't want him to get you too!"

Ali: "Rhett!"

Rhett: "Please, just go!"

Ali starts running again.

turns around and sees the fast biter coming.

Rhett: (Gulps) "Come on, you bully!"

Ali keeps running, and the scene fades back to the present.

Ali: "And I just kept running."

She pauses for a moment.

Ali: "I... never saw him again after that."

She starts to cry again.

Littlefoot: "Ali, I'm sorry. I didn't know."

Ali: "I know that Rhett was really mean the last time me and him came over, but after that, he changed."

Littlefoot: "He did?"

Ali: "Yes, he did. He become a lot more honest and caring of others."

Littlefoot: "I know how you feel. I lost my Grandpa not too long ago."

Ali: "Grandpa Longneck is gone?"

Littlefoot: "Yes, he is."

He pauses for awhile to think.

"He was almost like my father in a way. He looked after me all of those cold-times when I had no one else."

Ali: "I'm sorry."

Littlefoot: "You don't have to be sorry."

Ali: "Well, you don't have to either. I think I'm ok now."

Littlefoot: "Want to go back to everyone else yet?"

Ali: "Yes, lets go back."

Cera: Walking up to the longnecks. "Hey."

Littlefoot: "Where did you come from?"

Ducky: Walking up. "We came because you two were taking awhile, yup yup yup."

Cera: "I overheard about Rhett Ali. I'm sorry for what I said."

Ali: "It's ok. He was mean to all of you, and you didn't know Cera."

Chomper: "Well, do you want to play some more?"

Ali: "Sure. We could play some..."

The ground starts shaking.

Ruby: "What was that?"

Littlefoot: "It's our parents."

Cera: "Parents! We gotta get back to our nests!"

Ducky: "Oh yes, we are still in trouble!"

The gang starts breaking up.

Ali: "See you all later!"

Littlefoot calls back as he runs off.

Littlefoot: "I'll see you, Ali!"

Scene: The Longneck nest, at dusk.

Littlefoot is sitting in the nest. He's looking a little down. Ali walks up to him.

Ali: "Hello again."

Littlefoot: "Hey Ali."

Ali: "I just wanted to say I have to go now."

Littlefoot: "Go? Your leaving the Great Valley already?"

Ali: (Laughs.) "No, I'm just going back to the nest my herd started here."

Littlefoot: "Oh. That's a relief!"

Ali: "We're going to stay for awhile at least. I don't know how long for sure, but awhile."

Littlefoot: "In that case, we can play some more tomorrow!"

Ali: "That sounds like fun! I'll see you tomorrow, then."

Littlefoot: "Okay, bye Ali."

He lays his head on the ground and acts bored. Ali walks off. and the scene fades out.
