Littlefoot and Janet had made it to the base of the valley's walls. Sunset was pretty soon, so they looked around from where they stood to find a path that led inside. After seeing nothing, they started walking along the valley walls in hopes of finding a way in. They didn't wonder off too far. A trail, wide enough for them walking up in a line, wound up to the top of the valley's walls. They faced each other.

"I guess this is the only way in."

Janet looked pass Littlefoot, out in the dried land and at the sun.

"The sun is about to set too. We better get a move on. Lead the way, Littlefoot."

"I hope there is not a sheer drop on the other side," commented Littlefoot as he started to walk up the cliff's slope.

Janet followed him closely behind.

"Just don't jinx it."

Inside the valley walls was a large piece of land filled with green and some blue. There were clearings in this large unshaped area, but trees took up some of the space. A large river cut through the valley from flooded underground springs that became more shallower as it spread throughout the valley, forming three uneven rivers and a couple of pounds. This area was only inhabited by large plant-eaters known as longnecks. They varied from species to species, but most looked the same. Along with the common longnecks, two of them were near one of the ponds, drinking water. The longnecks were of opposite sex: one male and one female. The male was a tall longneck, but not much taller than Littlefoot. He had a brown scale-scheme and green eyes. The female longneck was a little smaller than the male longneck standing beside her. She had blue eyes and a pinkish purple scheme of scales. Both had known each other since they were children, due to their herds merging with each other. Unfortunately, they were the last of their herd. They had found Green Valley by joining a group of longnecks on their way towards it. The male lifted his head from taking a drink and looked at the setting sun.

"It's getting late. I'm going back to the spot. Ali, are you ready?"

The female longneck lifted her neck up and faced the male. She nodded.

"Yeah, Rhett."

The two longnecks started walking back to the spot they rested at every night. As they walked, they saw that other longnecks were walking towards the entrance. The entrance to the valley was a smooth slope along one of the valley walls. It was kind of a big event to have the whole valley march to the entrance. Rhett viewed it as an excuse to do something.

"C'mon, Ali."

"Rhett, aren't you curious on who came?"

"A little, but I'm sleepy."

"But it's rude to not greet them."

"I'm sure they won't mind. I'll welcome them tomorrow."

Ali looked towards the entrance. The crowd had grown to become noticeable. She looked back at Rhett.

"C'mon, Rhett," she urged.

Rhett knew that Ali was probably going without him if he stood his ground. He slightly smiled.

"Fine, but I'll just greet them, and then go to sleep."

Ali smiled. The two longnecks made their way over to the crowd. As usual, the leader and his mate were in the front of the crowd. Both were adult longnecks that were starting to form wrinkles of old age. Their old age didn't stop them from fighting off sharpteeth. The female longneck was only four inches shorter than the male. She was a light bluish longneck with hazel eyes. The tall male that stood next to her was a dark forest green longneck with sea blue eyes. They were related to the Apatosaurus; they were best described as Supersauruses. They were the only ones in the valley. The two gigantic dinosaurs saw the two longnecks coming down from the cliff and touching the ground.

"That wasn't that bad," said Littlefoot, giving his thoughts on the climb up.

"Even though you tripped."

Littlefoot looked back.

"At least I kept my balance."

"I'll give you credit for that," smiled Janet.

Littlefoot looked forward to see where he was walking. He stopped as he saw a big herd of longnecks just looking at them. The two Supersauruses seemed intimidating. Littlefoot glanced back and saw Janet had stopped and was a little behind him on his right side. Littlefoot gulped and proceeded to greet the two huge longnecks. The Supersauruses looked down at them and smiled. It gave Littlefoot the confidence to speak.

"Hi," Littlefoot said.

"Hello," said the male Supersaurus.

"Um… Is this your valley?"

The Supersaurus lowered his neck to Littlefoot's level and chuckled.

"Relax, child. Tell me what brings you here?"

"Well, I come here because of my grandparents. They…died a few days ago. I walked from where I live, being the only member of my home, in search for my own kind. I then met Janet, and she mentioned this place."

Littlefoot felt the cold stare he was receiving from Janet. It was like he was putting the blame on her. The female Supersaurus looked down at Janet.

"Mmm… Dear, what made you two come all this way by yourselves? We rarely see a pair of longnecks only walking together. Where's your herd?"

"… My herd…" Janet paused, remembering what happened. Her eyes began to water. "They died…trying to protect me. I was wandering by myself before I met Littlefoot."

The female Supersaurus glanced at the male longneck Janet called Littlefoot. She looked back at Janet.

"I'm sorry to hear that. My name is Grace, and this is my mate Chris."

"I'm Janet, and, of course, he's Littlefoot."

"When you say 'he', does that mean you're not…"

"Mates?" finished Janet, lightly blushing. "Oh, no, but we're friends."

"So, you two were in search of a new home?" asked Chris.

Janet nodded.

"Yes," replied Littlefoot. "We…would be glad to find a home."

"Look no further," smiled Chris. "You are welcomed here."

Janet smiled. Finally, she arrived to a place she could call home. She faced Chris with her bright face.

"Thank you, Chris."

Chris smiled.

"Well, the sun is about to set. Littlefoot, we need to talk tomorrow. Meet me here when the bright circle is rising over the valley walls."

Littlefoot nodded.

"Alright, Chris."

Chris looked up and saw that rays of the sun disappearing and the moon rising.

"Well, we best retire for the night. Goodnight. Come, Dear."

Chris turned around slowly. The herd of longnecks moved to clear a path for him. He marched down the path. Grace faced the two young longnecks.

"Goodnight," she said sweetly.

She turned around and followed her mate. Once the two Supersauruses were a good distance away from the herd, the herd started to disperse, going up to Littlefoot and Janet and welcoming them briefly. Most of the longnecks had gone before Ali and Rhett walked up to Janet and Littlefoot. Rhett faced Janet.

"Hello," he said. "The name's Rhett."

Littlefoot was stunned to hear the name he heard at one time in his life. The Rhett he knew was a longneck that tricked Ali and later befriended him when he found the errors of his ways. Littlefoot didn't think of it much. It could be another Rhett. Littlefoot looked at the female, who was slowly expanding her smile at him.

"And you are?"

"Don't you remember, Littlefoot?"

Littlefoot gave Ali a confused look, receiving confused looks from Janet and Rhett. Then Littlefoot looked into her blue eyes. He saw the past with this dinosaur being revealed through her eyes. With her eyes and looks, Littlefoot grew happily in surprise.

"Ali?"

"You do remember. It's been a long time."

"It sure has."

Littlefoot looked from Ali to Rhett.

"I thought you looked familiar, Rhett."

Rhett looked at Littlefoot and remembered that he met only one longneck with the name. Rhett's eyes widened.

"Well, I'll be a spike tail's uncle. It is Littlefoot. How long has it been? Nine? Ten cold times?"

"Probably more," said Littlefoot.

He looked back at Janet and grinned.

"Janet, I've known Ali and Rhett since we were kids."

He looked back at Ali and Rhett.

"How did you guys find this place?"

Smiles dropped from them, which caused Littlefoot to drop his happy state. Rhett started to explain.

"We were a big migrating herd back then. We traveled from place to place, knowing and seeing a lot. One day, we were walking near a smoking mountain. As we did, an earthshake happened. When the earthshake happened, fire water came out of the smoking mountain. The land broke, and fire pits became the resting places from the majority of our herd, including our leader. Only thirteen of us escaped. With now thirteen of us and leaderless, we decided to settle down in a land of our own kind. We wandered for many bright circles. Along the way, we heard of Green Valley and decided that to be our new home. We lost many along the way, but four of us made it here. During our stay, we have never gone outside the valley walls."

"That's…," began Janet. "I can't even find the words. It's so horrible."

"That's behind us now," said Ali. "We must move forward and live life long and happy. So, Littlefoot, weren't you living in the Great Valley?"

"I was…until my grandparents died. I decided to find a new home. I couldn't bare staying in a place that would remind me of my grandparents everyday. Fortunately, I met Janet, and she showed me the way."

"And I have Littlefoot to thank too," said Janet. "If we hadn't met, I would probably be sharpteeth dinner. I was walking alone, and we kind of bonked into each other."

Littlefoot faced Janet.

"Kind of?"

"Okay, bonked into each other."

More like followed me, thought Littlefoot.

"I believe I owe Littlefoot the biggest thank you. Out in the Mysterious Beyond, he protected me, gave me food, and fought off a sharptooth, knocking it out."

Ali and Rhett looked at Littlefoot with impressed eyes. He slightly blushed. Littlefoot looked up and saw that the moon had risen up high into the sky. Littlefoot looked back at Rhett and Ali.

"Well, it's getting late, and Chris wants to talk to me tomorrow. I'm going to find a place to rest. Goodnight."

Littlefoot started to walk off. Janet yawned.

"Excuse me," she slightly smiled in embarrassment. "I must be tired too. I'll hopefully see you tomorrow. Goodnight Ali and Rhett."

"Night," said Rhett.

"Goodnight," said Ali.

Janet left and walked in Littlefoot's direction to catch him up. Ali and Rhett saw that Littlefoot stopped, as if sensing Janet. He waited for her, and the two dinosaurs pressed onward to find a place to rest. Rhett yawned.

"Well, it's nice to see Littlefoot again. C'mon, Ali."

Rhett started walking in a different direction from Littlefoot's direction. Ali took a moment to see Littlefoot's figure disappear behind some trees. She slightly smiled.

"Well, Littlefoot," whispered Ali. "I guess you found someone…as I'm alone."

Rhett's voice echoed into her earhole.

"C'mon, Ali."

Ali sighed and followed Rhett to their sleeping spot.
