Littlefoot continued to walk. After walking for quite some time, Littlefoot stopped. The wind had shifted and was now blowing in his face. He looked at the direction he was going and then turned towards the direction she had gone. The wind picked up a little.

"Green Valley, eh?"

He changed direction and headed northwest.

Janet continued to march onward towards Green Valley. The grudge towards Littlefoot didn't go unnoticed. Though it was over something ridiculous, the grudge was still there. She was walking through a forest of a few dead and some live trees. Janet soon reached a clearing in the forest. This clearing was filled with flowers of different daisy colors. The wind was just blowing just right; gently.

In the center of the clearing lied a dinosaur of old age; beyond very old. It appeared to be a dark gray and tan dinosaur. It was panting very heavily. Janet cautiously approached the dinosaur, afraid of what it was. The breathing from the lying dinosaur became louder. Janet moved to the front view of the dinosaur, looking at its old face. He has a flat tooth showed on his left side of his mouth, probably due to his under-lip being an over-lip. Janet noticed his weak, black eyes. The dinosaur looked up at Janet.

"Oh, it's a longneck…*cough*… I'm sorry. The last time I saw a lone longneck was when I was a bit younger. He was only a little one."

Janet lowered her neck.

"Who are you?"

"… That doesn't matter young one. I'm going to the great beyond soon. Everyone will forget me soon. I had been alone for several years. I'll die alone too."

Janet shook her head.

"No," said Janet smoothly. "I'm here."

The dinosaur smiled.

"That's kind of you, Miss…but I have one question for you: Who would be by your side?"

"Oh," said Janet. "Well, I'm…alone."

"A dinosaur like yourself alone? Was there someone with you at the least?"

Janet thought about it. The last dinosaur she was with was the prideful Littlefoot. She narrowed her eyes.

"N-no."

"Are you sure?" he questioned.

"Yes."

He just shook his head and coughed.

"Aye, child. Pride is something you shouldn't hold dear to your heart."

It's not pride, thought Janet. Littlefoot is the one that's prideful.

There was a long pause before the dinosaur's cough worsened. Janet breathed in relaxation, going from her tense thinking.

"Excuse me," said the dinosaur.

Janet just slightly smiled.

"Don't be," she said.

The dinosaur grinned.

"Such a kind child."

"Please, don't call me that. I'm not kind."

Janet was silent for a few moments before continuing.

"You were right. I was traveling with a friend. We got into a fight and…"

"He left you alone."

Janet sighed.

"I don't know. It was probably my fault."

The dinosaur lightly coughed and shook his head in disagreement.

"It is not your fault."

"Then it's his."

"It is not your friend's fault. It is nobody's fault. Friendships will always be tested, but if they are strong, they should never be destroyed. It's just the test of the Circle of Life."

Janet was going to respond when something roared neared them. Janet looked behind her as the old dinosaur focused his black eyes behind Janet. An Albertosaurus with green scales with green-yellow stripes along its back came out into the clearing. It stood about nine and a half meters in length, a little taller than Janet. She fully turned around towards the sharptooth. The ferocious best roared at Janet and the dinosaur. Janet stood in stance, ready to fight. The old dinosaur noticed that she was shaking.

"Leave me. I am old. Run with your life."

"I can't do that!"

The sharptooth roared and stomped towards her. It once again roared when he was only six feet away from her. His mouth lunged at her, almost biting her neck. She had moved her neck back, avoiding the attack. She glared at it and whipped her tail at it. The sharptooth roared in annoyance, stepping back a bit. It shook its head to get rid of the sting and attacked again. Janet kept it at bay with her tail. After the second tail whip, the sharptooth knew what was up. Janet was about to smack it with her tail when the sharptooth jumped and bit her tail. She raised her tail up, hoisting the sharptooth up like a fish caught by a fishing rod and bashed it with her head to let go. The sharptooth fell to the ground. As the sharptooth tried to get on its two big legs, Janet moved a little bit back. She glanced at the blood slightly pouring out from middle of the middle and the end of her tail. It stung, but she wasn't going to be a meal.

Her options were limited. With her tail bitten, she was afraid of using it. It might cause more blood to flow out and end the battle quicker. The sharptooth got to its feet and looked at it. Sharpteeth were brutes, but they weren't completely stupid. It noticed the blood. The sharptooth grinned and roared. It knew the tail wasn't going to be an annoyance anymore. It jumped towards Janet, latching onto Janet's side with its claws. A tail flew out of nowhere and smacked the Albertosaurus's head. The sharptooth fell down to the ground on its back. The old dinosaur had seen the stranger, but Janet had been to focus on the battle for her life. She faced, panting heavily. She looked to behind and saw the male she had told off not too long ago.

"Little…foot," she breathed.

"Don't talk and stand back," Littlefoot ordered without facing her.

Janet stood still for a moment before she just simply nodded. Littlefoot faced his opponent. The Albertosaurus had just gotten up and faced Littlefoot. It roared. Littlefoot attacked the beast with his tail. The sharpteeth defended himself by withstanding the blow and jumped towards Littlefoot. Littlefoot lifted his hind legs, like a horse but not as high. By doing so, he avoided the sharptooth's teeth. He kicked out his hind legs and smacked the sharptooth's head, giving it concussion. It fell to the floor and closed its eyes, breathing slowly for now. Littlefoot inhaled deeply and turned around. He faced Janet before turning his attention towards the elderly dinosaur.

"Mister, are you alright?"

The dinosaur stared into Littlefoot's eyes and smiled.

"My, I remember those same eyes."

Littlefoot was confused by what he said. A thought crept into Janet's head. The elder had mentioned meeting one other lone longneck as a child. Could it be Littlefoot?

"You may not remember, because you were so young, but a lone longneck child was crying about his mother passing on and blaming her for abandoning him."

Littlefoot thought back to the times during and after his mother's death. He was crying about the things that happened, mad and scared, when he slipped on something and landed on an elderly dinosaur. It appeared to be a Scolosaurus. Littlefoot's eyes widened in shock. The weak dinosaur smiled.

"You remember," said the dinosaur, confirming it by Littlefoot's eyes. "The Great Circle of Life must have treated you well all these cold times."

Littlefoot was speechless for the moment. He just nodded.

"Your lady friend mentioned that she had left her friend. You must be together."

Janet blushed.

"Well, not like that," she commented.

"We're on our way to Green Valley," explained Littlefoot. "Well, we were, until we got into a fight."

The elder just smiled.

"I think all is forgiven. You came to save her and my short life, and she seems relief you appeared."

The Scolosaurus coughed.

"Can I ask who you are?" asked Littlefoot. "You helped me realize my mother's death wasn't anyone's fault."

"Remember me as Rooter. These old bones are not as they used to be."

Rooter coughed again.

"I've picked a nice place for my final rest. Young ones, the place you search for is passed these trees. You are close. Don't give up on yourselves, and your friendship. The Great Circle calls me."

He closed his eyes and slowly breathed. His breathing soon stopped. Littlefoot lowered his head in respect as Janet did the same. Janet glanced towards Littlefoot and smoothly addressed him.

"Littlefoot?"

Littlefoot slowly lifted his head and faced Janet. She exhaled heavily before talking.

"I'm sorry for the fight. Probably you're right. I give you too much crap rather than credit."

"It's my fault too, Janet. Friends stick together. I failed at that. After thinking about it, I decided to catch up to you. I just didn't expect…"

He glanced over at the still sharptooth.

"…that."

Janet smiled. She extended her neck out and rubbed Littlefoot's cheek against his cheek. Littlefoot blushed. She parted and giggled at Littlefoot's flushed face.

"Thank you, Littlefoot."

Littlefoot turned away in embarrassment to hide his face from Janet. His eyes spotted the corpse of Rooter, and his blush faded away. He just stared at Rooter and smiled faintly.

"Thank you, Rooter."

He looked at Rooter for a few seconds before he felt something. Janet nudged him, causing him to look at her.

"Littlefoot, we should go."

Littlefoot nodded. Janet started continuing the path up north. Littlefoot looked at Rooter once more. He soon felt the wind pick up. The calm breeze was enough to comfort him. It was like if Rooter's spirit was assuring him that he would be alright. He smiled and closed his eyes to enjoy the warm breeze.

"Littlefoot," echoed Janet's voice.

Littlefoot opened his eyes and took one more good look at Rooter before enter the thick northern parts of the woods. He walked only for five minutes before catching up with Janet. Janet looked back once she heard him coming. She had cleared the woods and was standing right outside of them. Littlefoot stopped next to her. She looked up ahead.

"Do you see that?"

Off in the near distance were walls of a valley. Green was seen at the top of the valley walls. The place ahead of them was a short walk of seven miles to the base of it. Janet smiled.

"That is the place where green grows on the tops of the walls, almost overflowing from the inside. Littlefoot, that's Green Valley."

Littlefoot smiled.

"Then we're almost there. C'mon. I bet we can reach it before nightfall."

Happily, the two longnecks walked towards the valley, reaching their short-term goal.
