Episode 8 - Wrong Side of the Claw

Now with alcahol!

Scene: The Great Valley. Day time. The Gang comes into view, and start singing the "Friends for Dinner" song, but a little differently.

Everyone: "Friends for dinner."

Littlefoot: "He just wants to have friends for dinner.

Chomper: Walking on screen "I'll have some Threehorn soup, and Littlefoot Stew." He grabs Petrie and walks off-screen.

Petrie(Off-screen): "You won't think it's funny when he chew on you." Chomper makes a loud chomping sound. "AHH!"

Littlefoot: Looking toward Chomper. "That's not a very nice thing to do."

Everyone: "To have friends for dinner!"

Littlefoot: "He can't eat vegetables, Only meat." Chomper runs up and grabs Ducky, and runs off-screen.

Cera: "He'll munch and he'll crunch those little duck feet!"

Chomper makes another chomping sound, and Ducky screams.

Littlefoot: "This time were not pretending to be."

Everyone: "Friends for dinner!"

Everyone: "Friends for dinner."

Littlefoot: "He's having some friends for dinner."

Cera: "He'll gnaw your arm, and nibble your leg."

Littlefoot: "But we've known Chomper since he was an egg."

Chomper: Chomper runs onscreen and drags Spike off-screen.

Cera: "If he just eats Spike, wouldn't that be enough?"

Chomper makes another Chomping sound.

Everyone: "One thing we know we don't want to be, is friends for dinner!"

Everyone: "Friends for dinner. Don't wanna be friends for dinner!"

Cera: "He'll have some Spike a la mode, and liver of duck."

Chomper grabs and drags Cera off-screen.

Littlefoot: "He'll spit out Cera, cause she's too tough.

Chomper: Makes a chomping sound. "Yuk!"

Littlefoot: Runs off. "You know you've run out of luck, when your friends for dinner." He get's to a dead end. "Friends for dinner." He looks back at Chomper, and Chomper is licking his lips. "Friends for dinner."

Chomper: Crouches down and gets ready to pounce. "My friends for dinner!" He jumps toward the camera and bites.

Scene: Inside the Professor's cave.

The Professor is asleep on a pile of moss in a corner of his cave. He suddenly wakes up and almost jumps out of bed.

Professor: "AAH!" He catches his breath. "Oh, it was just a dream." He gets up and walks around the cave. "A pretty silly dream at that." He walks out of the cave. "Still, I am worried about all of those leafeaters."

Scene: A grassy field in the Great Valley, at day time.

Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Spike, and Petrie are playing a soccer-like game with a pointy seed. Littlefoot is running with the pointy seed. Cera runs up and takes it from him.

Cera: "HA! I got it this time Littlefoot!"

Littlefoot: "Come back here!" He runs after Cera.

Spike runs up and rams with Cera. Both of them fall on the ground. The Pointy seed rolls away from the pair, and Ducky grabs it and runs.

Ducky: "I got the seed now, I do!"

Petrie: Flies over and grabs the pointy seed, and flies off. "Me got it!"

Ducky: Still holding on. "No you do not. I still do, yup!"

Petrie: "Which way it going, Ducky?"

Littlefoot runs over and bites Ducky's tail. He mumbled in a weird voice. "I got you now!"

Petrie: "Why me no move anymore?"

Spike runs over and tries to tackle Littlefoot. Littlefoot falls over, but holds on to Ducky's tail.

Ducky: "Spike!"

Petrie: "Ahh!"

Cera: Charges forward. "I got you all now!"

Cera Crashes into the group, and everyone falls on the ground and starts laughing. The pointy seed rolls away.

Littlefoot: "So was that a tie?"

Ducky: "I guess so, Littlefoot."

Petrie: "No one got pointy seed now, so me guess so too."

Cera: "What are we going to do now?"

Littlefoot: "I could go for lunch."

Cera: "Wow, Spike isn't the first one that wants to eat."

Ducky: "Now that is a first, yup!"

Petrie: "Yup."

The Gang walk off to look for some food.

Scene: Somewhere else in the Great Valley.

The Gang come up to two weird looking plants.

Cera: "What are those plants doing there? I don't remember any plants being here."

Ducky: "They look kind of weird, they do, they do."

Littlefoot: "Now where have I seen these plants before? I wonder."

Spike walks up and tries to eat one of the plants. He bites on the leaves, and tries to pull the plant out of the ground. The plant pops out of the ground, and it and Spike somersault together a few times before the plant ends up on top of Spike. The plant is actually a yellow belly. Loofah, to be exact.

Loofah: Laughing. "You know, that was my tail you were biting!"

Littlefoot: "Loofah!"

-Commercial break-

Littlefoot: Loofah, It's you?"

Loofah: Giggling. "Of course it's loofah, who else would it be?"

Doofah: Pops out of the ground. "Whats all of this ruckus?"

Cera: "Oh, hey Doofah."

Doofah: "Hello my friends!"

Ducky: "Hello Loofah and Doofah. How are you two doing?"

Doofah: "We're doing fine, as always!"

Littlefoot: "What are you two doing here?"

Loofah: "We got separated from our herd again."

Professor: Walking up on the conversation. "Hey everyone." He takes a look at the yellow bellies. "Who're these turkeys?"

Loofah: "Whats a turkey?"

Professor: "Um, nothing. Never mind."

Littlefoot: "They're yellow bellies, Professor. Loofah is the leader of a herd of them, and he and Doofah here got separated from them."

Professor: Sarcastically. "Now that's being a great leader!"

Loofah: "I'm not worried though. Me and Doofah can rest here some then go look for them."

Littlefoot: "We can go with you and help you look!"

Professor: "And people called me crazy. You wanna know why? Because I dared to dream of my own race of atomic monsters." He starts walking off. "Atomic supermen with octagonal-shaped bodies that suck blood out of the..." You can't hear the rest of his rant.

Ducky: "The Professor scares me sometimes, he does."

Littlefoot: "As you can see, we were about to eat. You two wanna join us?"

Loofah: "Sure!"

Doofah: "We're both starving!"

Scene: Close to the Watering Hole. The Gang and the yellow bellies are around a pile of treesweets. The yellow bellies are eating ravenously.

Cera: "You sure are hungry, aren't ya?"

The yellow bellies just keep eating.

Chomper: Stepping up from behind some bushes. "Hey guys. How's it going?"

The yellow bellies see chomper, yell, get up and run around some, then crash into each other.

Littlefoot: "It's alright guys. Chomper here is a friendly sharptooth."

Loofah: "Really?"

Chomper: "Yeah, I'm not going to eat you. I'm one of Littlefoot's friends!"

Doofah: "That's good to know!"

Chomper: "So, what are you anyway?"

Loofah and Doofah go back to stuffing their faces, so Littlefoot answers.

Littlefoot: "They're yellow bellies. We've met them before Chomper, but that was before you ever came back to the Great Valley."

Chomper: Some of the juices from the two yellow bellies fly into his face. "Wow, they sure do eat a lot." He starts to slowly lick his lips, but catches himself and shakes his head.

Littlefoot: "Yeah, they eat even more than Spike does."

Spike: "Yuh-huh."

Chomper: "So you met them before? What did you all do together?"

Littlefoot: "Well, last time, they got separated form the herd, and we helped them find the herd and get beck to Berry Valley."

Cera: "But we were chased by a pack of sharpteeth on the way."

Chomper: "Really? That sounds exciting!"

Petrie: "Me not call it exciting, but it pretty scary though."

Chomper: "How did you get away from the Sharpteeth?"

Cera: "We scared them away."

Chomper: "Really? How?"

Loofah: Gets up, and talks. "We Singed!"

Chomper: Starts to laugh. He falls on the ground, and laughs some more. "Are you serious?"

Littlefoot: "Yeah, He's serious. The yellow bellies singed, and that scared the Sharpteeth away!"

Chomper: Starting to get mad. "That...That's impossible!"

Doofah: "How so?"

Chomper: "Scaring away big, vicious sharpteeth by singing? That would never work!"

Cera: "How do you know?"

Chomper: "I'm a sharptooth. I'm an expert on these things." Walking up to Loofah, getting more angry. "And saying a Sharptooth would be scared away by something like that...That's an insult to my kind!" He stomps away angrily.

Cera: "Whats gotten into Chomper?"

Ruby: "I don't know. I've only seen him that mad a couple of times before."

Scene: close to the Professor's cave in the Great Valley.

The Professor is outside of the cave. Chomper walks up to him.

Chomper: "Have you seen these newcomers, Professor?"

Professor: "Yeah, and I don't really like them."

Chomper: "Me either!"

Professor: "They don't seem very smart. The leader lost his heard, and he doesn't even feel like looking for them."

Chomper: "And they said they scared away Sharpteeth by singing. SINGING!"

Professor: Sarcastically. "Oh my. I'd love to see that!"

Chomper: "They make me so angry. They just make me want to..."

Professor: "...Eat them?"

Chomper: "No, I'd never do that!"

Professor: "Oh. Well, I wouldn't have minded much if you ate the yellow bellies."

Chomper: "I can't do that!"

Professor: Sighs "Oh well."

Chomper: "So, what are they going to do?"

Professor: "I think Littlefoot and the Gang are going to take them to find their herd."

Chomper: "In the Mysterious Beyond?"

Professor: "Yeah, I guess so."

Chomper: "They can't go there! Not alone! I need to make sure they're ok!"

Professor: "I'll go too. To make sure they're ok...from you."

Chomper: Staring Angrily at the Professor: "I don't know how you STILL think I'm going to just eat my friends!" He sighs. "Fine, you come along too."

Chomper runs off, and the Professor follows.

-Commercial break-

Scene: The Mysterious Beyond.

The Gang and the two yellow bellies are looking for the yellow belly herd.

Littlefoot: "Do you remember where they were, Loofah?"

Loofah: "Not really."

Doofah: "Don't worry, we'll find them sooner or later."

Loofah: "Just don't worry about it, and you'll feel it. You'll just feel what you need to do."

Cera: Why did you all leave Berry Valley in the first place?"

Loofah: "You know, I really don't know."

Ducky: "You do not? But your the leader!"

Loofah: "It's not something I should be worrying about."

Cera rolls her eyes. The gang unknowingly walk by Redclaw, who's behind some trees, laying on the ground, asleep. Redclaw sniffs the air some, and opens his eyes.

Scene: The Mysterious Beyond, closer the the Great Valley.

Chomper and the Professor are walking around, looking for the Gang. Chomper has his sniffer on the ground, trying to catch the scent of someone familiar.

Professor: "Smell anyone yet?"

Chomper: Bringing his head up, with mud all over his nose, changing his voice. "Nope." He shakes the mud off of his face.

Professor: "So, do you talk to other sharpteeth much?"

Chomper: "No, not really. There aren't any other sharpteeth in the Great Valley. I'm the only one who's even allowed in.

Professor: "Wait. So, the grownups know your there, too?"

Chomper: "Yup."

Professor: "And they allow you to be in the Great Valley?"

Chomper: "Yes, they do."

Professor: "Really? Hmm..."

Chomper: "What are you thinking about?"

Professor: "Oh, nothing really. So, smell anything now?"

Chomper: "I think I smell Littlefoot this way!" He starts running in that direction.

Professor: Giving chase. "You aren't smelling with your stomach again, are you?"

Scene: A little valley at the bottom of a canyon. It is fairly lush and green.

The gang are walking in in the canyon.

Petrie: Flying high in the sky. "Hey everybody, Me think me see the herd!"

Littlefoot: "Where are they?"

Petrie: "Just a ways over there." He fly's over in that direction, the other end of the Valley.

Ducky: "We are almost there, yup yup yup!"

Littlefoot: Water starts dripping on Littlefoot's head. "Hey, whats that, sky water?"

Spike looks up at Redclaw, screams, and start running.

Cera: "What's going on?" She looks up and screams.

Every one else looks up, screams, and starts running. Redclaw chases.

On top of the canyon, Chomper and the Professor hear the Gang's screams.

Chomper: "They're in trouble!" He runs faster.

In the little valley, the Gang come up to the yellow belly herd.

Loofah: "Everyone, Run!"

The herd starts running away with the Gang. They come up to the end of the valley, trapped.

Littlefoot: "Got any ideas' Loofah?"

Loofah starts singing.

Littlefoot: Oh yeah, just like last time!" He starts to sing too.

Everyone else trapped at the end of the valley starts to sing. They all have their eyes closed.

Chomper and the Professor come up to the edge of the canyon and look down below.

Chomper: "There they are!"

Professor: "Looks like they're trying to scare Redclaw away."

Chomper: "That'll never work, especially on Redclaw!"

Redclaw stares at everyone singing. He licks his lips.

Chomper: "We've got to do something, but we don't have time to get down there!"

Professor: "You could say something to scare Redclaw away."

Chomper: Staring at the Professor. "No I can't!"

Professor: "Perhaps you can!" He open his backpack, and pulls a megaphone out. He turns it on and puts it in front of Chomper. "Yell into this. I'll make you sound a lot louder!"

Chomper yells at the top of his longs into the megaphone. The megaphone magnifies Chomper's voice to travel all across the valley below. Redclaw hears this new sound, and backs away, then turns around and runs off.

Chomper: "It worked!"

Professor: Putting the megaphone back in his backpack. "Look over there, theres a way down!"

Chomper and the Professor works their way down the canyon as everyone down below is still singing. When the pair gets to the bottom, everyone else stops singing.

Loofah: "It worked!"

Littlefoot: "I didn't think it was going to work, but you showed us!"

Doofah: "Theres lots of berries here, just like in Berry Valley."

Loofah: "That's good, I was getting hungry again!"

Loofah, Doofah, and the other yellow bellies go over to the berry bushes and start devouring berries.

Professor: "Hm, I wonder." He takes a few of the berries in his hand. He eats one, and smashes another in his hand and smells it. "Oh my!"

Scene: The Berry Valley.

The Gang, Chomper, the Professor, and all the yellow bellies are talking.

Loofah: "I knew singing would work!"

Chomper: "That didn't save you!"

Doofah: "What do you mean?"

Chomper: "Didn't you hear the sharptooth roars?"

Loofah: "Nope."

Littlefoot: "I didn't hear any either."

Chomper: "That's because you all were too busy singing to Redclaw!" He gives up. "Fine, I suppose it was your singing that saved you." He walks off toward the Professor.

Loofah: Starts singing. "I feel so happy I want everyone to see. It's like the bright circle is shining inside of me!"

Chomper and the Professor chat while the yellow bellies sing in the background.

Chomper: "They sure are loud and annoying."

Professor: "Why did you tell them they saved themselves?"

Chomper: "I was tired of arguing, and I thought it would make them quiet down sooner." He covers his ear holes. "I thought wrong!"
