Rhett and Janet made it to a forest filled with tall trees. The grassy path before them was big enough for them to walk side-by-side. Rhett looked up, fascinated by the height of the trees. He blinked.

"I wonder how they taste like."

Janet glanced at him and noticed he was looking up. She followed his eyes and realized he was looking at the leaves.

"I don't know. Probably they would put up there to keep away from their deliciousness."

Rhett faced Janet, as part of his face was shaded by the branches filled with leaves.

"But that isn't fair. Everyone should be able to get some."

Janet slightly smiled.

"Yeah, but my mother always told me that those who work harder will get a fulfilling reward."

Rhett swayed his head a little and sighed.

"I guess so. If everyone was equal, then any longneck could be a leader of a herd, which could be bad."

"C'mon. I hear voices over here."

Rhett and Janet stopped at the sound of the voice. They saw a figure walk out of the woods. The teenaged bigmouth looked up at them and smiled. Soon, a yellow three-horn, and a spiketail with a brown flyer on its back walked out of the forest's depths.

"See. I knew it. Yep."

The teen Triceratops sighed, smiling.

"You were right, Ducky."

"Oooo," sounded Petrie. "They're longnecks too."

Janet raised her left eye a bit, like a human would raise his eyebrow in question.

"Excuse, but what do you mean by longnecks too?"

"Well, like Littlefoot and Ali," replied Ducky.

Rhett and Janet faced each other and then faced the group of dinosaurs. Janet lowered her head towards Ducky.

"You know Littlefoot and Ali as well?"

"Sure. We've known them since we were little. Yep, yep."

Cera stood silent throughout the conversation, which was a little strange. Usually, she would butt-in. However, her eyes focused on the brown longneck with green eyes. Rhett finally noticed she was staring him down and lowered his head towards her.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah," Cera replied in a wondering, yet determined tone. "You look like someone I've meet before."

Rhett tried to remember if he befriended any threehorn. He thought about it and shook his head when he came to a conclusion.

"I can't seem to remember It's been a long time since my childhood, and all I remember is just the travels in the Mysterious Beyond and some places, including the Great Valley."

Cera's eyes widened.

"Now I remember. You're Rhett."

Janet looked at Rhett, puzzled that the threehorn knew him. Ducky looked up at Rhett and smiled.

"Yep. It is Rhett, Ali's friend."

Rhettt tried to remember back again. They mentioned they knew Littlefoot and Ali. He met Littlefoot long ago in the Great Valley… It soon dawned on him. Littlefoot had an usual group, which all tricked him, but he deserved it for fibbing. After that, they played. He smiled at Cera once he remembered.

"Now, I know who you guys are. You're Littlefoot's friends. Sorry I didn't recognize you. I'm a bit delusional without some water."

"We have plenty water," said Petrie.

"Yeah," said Cera. "Follow us."

The group of dinosaurs led Janet and Rhett into the depths of the forest.

Damn. If it didn't sting so much, I would be resting.

Littlefoot was sitting down on the shore of a small lake. The lake was sealed of, meaning it had no continuous flow of water going into it. It was probably made from the Cold Time. With this source of water, small plants and something that looked like grass sprouted out from the nearby ground. There were a few lightly scattered trees around it, meaning that this body of water would be here all year long.

Littlefoot lowered his head towards the lake. He took a big gulp of water and swallowed it. He lifted his head up slightly so he could see his reflection. He smirked.

"Coming from a fast-biter battle and still looking good," he said to himself.

He looked back to see how bad the wounds were. The blood had dried, but the scars would remind him of this day. He sighed and looked back at the watery mirror. He looked at his image for a short time before it disappeared. The image of grandparents was soon shown. He smiled as flashbacks filled his mind. He remembered the worry, the stress, the frustration, and the calm anger he caused as an infant. Even in the couple of years before their death, he still caused 'mischief'. However, he also remembered the joy, the excitement, the teaching and learning experience, and the comfort they had as a family.

Now, the only family member he had left in this world was his father, and that was a maybe. A very big maybe. Time affects all and everything around it. There's no telling if his father was alive…or worse. The last time he saw his father was a couple years back. He and Shorty, his stepbrother, had come for a visit. In fact, the whole herd came. He pranced Littlefoot around, saying that one day, he would lead a massive herd out of any danger. Well, that bit was true. He was out here, trying to save his friends and the residents of the Great Valley. He left Janet and the whole family thing behind for now. He viewed this as slightly more important. It ruined his relationship with Janet, but he just couldn't leave his dinosaurs to suffer as he was off seeking some pun, in a literal sense.

He looked up in the sky and saw that the sun was nowhere near its setting time. He had to press onward. His friends were counting on him. He got to his feet, feeling a slight sting but not as bad as before. He started to walk again, trying to reach the goal.

Ali walked through a forest with tall trees. This forest, unlike the other forest where the Great Valley residents rested in, had trees with red trunks. She thought of it as spooky. The light source was mostly covered by the branches of these tall trees, and there were dark spots an eighth of a mile away from her in all directions of the forest. She still continued on the unmarked path she was on.

She always had a fear of spooky forests ever since an incident with the herd. A few months after meeting and venturing with Littlefoot and his friends to save his grandpa, her herd had stumbled into a forest. She stood close by her mother, but she was fascinated by the forest. She was so lost in trace that she didn't notice the herd, along with her mother, was slowly advancing on the path as she stayed behind. She looked around and realized the herd was only about twenty meters away. She hurriedly made her way towards the herd, but she heard something in the bushes. She stood still, curious on why the bush, ten meters away, was shaking. Soon, two Velociraptors jumped out of the bush and spotted Ali. Frightened, Ali turned around and started running. She yelled out to her mother. As the Velociraptors closed in, salvation had arrived. Her mother's running towards her trembled the ground. The Velociraptors felt this and noticed the humongous longneck. Terrified, they turned the other way and disappeared into the forest. The nervous Ali was picked up by her mother and the two returned to the herd.

Ali continued to walk through the forest. It was quite quiet, which made it spookier. Maybe, she should've waited for Littlefoot. She would've been safe, but she would probably be stressed out by the fact Littlefoot was out in the Mysterious Beyond alone.

Ali then noticed a figure up ahead. Also, a new ray of light poked into the forest. Ali walked up to the figure and realized it was dead. It was a Deinonychus near a tree. She looked at it, curious on why it didn't smell to her. The dinosaur appeared to only have been dead for a short time. The forest provided shade from the violent rays of the sun that would've made it stunk.

Suddenly, something was heard. Ali looked around, backing away from the dead dinosaur. Soon, a Tyrannosaurus appeared out of the thick trees a dozen meters away from her. She trembled at the sight of the beast, even if it was a little under her height. It stood about twenty feet tall. Ali couldn't really determine the color of this sharptooth. One, she was terrified, and two, the shade of the forest confused her vision. The Tyrannosaurus looked down at the easier meal and began feasting on the dinosaur corpse. Ali watched as the mighty carnivore ate the smaller one in about six bites. She couldn't really move, because she was petrified. All she could do was cry out a mighty yell. The Tyrannosaurus, annoyed by her yelling, parted from his meal and looked at her with his red eyes. He lifted his head up and roared. Ali knew the end of her story…was soon over.
