The afternoon sun was to be gone in two hours. The wind blew across the ground-dried tundra, either created by the nature of the air or the nearby rushing water. Littlefoot stood stiff. He had successfully fixed the problem. Water should be flowing back into the Great Valley, and life would once again to flourish. Now, he faced a new problem at hand. It was his ex-girlfriend versus his somewhat current girlfriend. He faced Janet.

"Janet? How did you get here?"

"I followed you… Well, kind of. I was just going to the Great Valley, because I knew you would be there. I…had a feeling you would be…but then we bonked into your friends. They pointed us in this direction, and we hoped that we would bonk into you."

"Rhett," called Ali. "You came too?"

Rhett nodded.

"Yeah," he said proudly. "Ali, I was worried about you."

Ali smiled.

"Well, thanks Rhett."

Rhett smiled back, but he soon frowned slightly.

"But why did you venture out here alone?"

Ali's smiled dropped slightly. She blushed a little bit.

"Well, I wanted to make sure he was safe."

She glanced back towards Littlefoot.

"I was worried. He's my friend…probably even-"

"Ali, I know why you're out here," said Rhett with a little disappointment in his voice. "But to be honest, you could've gotten yourself killed. The dangers of the Mysterious Beyond show no mercy. I was worried."

Ali smiled.

"Thanks again, Rhett."

Rhett grinned.

"Ali, I care about you and all, but as I said, I know why you're out here."

Janet looked at Littlefoot and smiled.

"And Littlefoot, I wanted to apologize. It was wrong of me to yell at you. You were just helping your friends. I should've supported you. It was just that…well, you know about my past. It was just reliving everything. It was a horrible feeling. I was angry on the outside, but fear overtook me in the inside. It was still improper for me to lash at you and-"

"Janet," Littlefoot said calmly. "I understand. You don't have to explain anything. I also didn't take into consideration of your feelings. You told me about the past, and I should've known."

"Littlefoot, you did the right thing. We met the dinosaurs from the Great Valley. The ones that told us in which direction you two went. If it wasn't for you, they would've been dead. There's no need to apologize for something that was my personal fault. You told me one time to let go of the past. I guess I never truly did until I learned that I was doing the same mistake…again."

Janet sighed and looked down before saying the word 'again'. Littlefoot looked at her and took a couple of steps towards her. She looked up

"Don't worry about that. I know it's hard to let go of the past. I…I still remember about my mother… I had to let go of it being my fault."

Littlefoot chuckled and sighed.

"Yeah," he said faintly, shortly remembering about the past.

Janet looked up and saw Littlefoot's smiling face. She smiled.

"You know. This is not the only reason why I walked out here. I…I wanted to get back together."

Littlefoot was a little stricken back at this. If he could rub his neck, he would. Janet was curious on his strange expression.

"Littlefoot?" she wondered, slowly dropping her smile.

"Janet, it's great that you're out here, but…um… How do I explain this?"

Janet glanced from Littlefoot to Ali. She narrowed her eyes at Ali.

"So Ali, was that your whole plan?"

Littlefoot looked over at Ali.

"But you guys broke up."

Janet looked down for a moment before rising up her head again.

"I know, and I'm sorry about that. I was just hoping. Littlefoot, I want your babies."

Littlefoot blushed. Ali huffed and walked up to Janet.

"What's your problem? Forget about it, Janet. I…we started a relationship."

Janet looked over from Ali to Littlefoot. She half-closed her eyes.

"Well, it didn't take you that long," said Janet, kind of annoyed.

"Janet, it's not like that."

"Yes, it is. Littlefoot, after you left, I was devastated. I didn't know how to react. I went to the mating ritual to find a mate. I just hoped to find someone so I could forget. I did, but Ali came up to me and asked me what happened to you. After a few blows, she left. Her speech made me feel uncomfortable for the night, and I was thinking about the time I spent with you. I left the guy I was with and went to sleep. That's when I realized that I still love you."

Littlefoot's jaw dropped. Janet still loved him? He looked from her to Ali and back at Janet. He gulped.

"Uh…"

Ali huffed.

"What? Janet, why are doing this?"

"Ali, didn't you do the same thing? As soon as you heard Littlefoot and I broke up, you went after him. Were you just waiting for the opportunity to strike?"

"It's not that, Janet," said Ali unsurely.

There was a pause before she continued.

"I have always wanted to be with Littlefoot. When he disappeared, I was just worried."

"Yeah, you were, but then you come here and share a kiss with him," Janet said and then snorted. "Yeah, it's not like that."

Damn, thought Littlefoot, she saw that.

"Janet, the past is the past. Get over it. You're making a mistake again."

Janet looked down, saddened. She then looked back at Ali and narrowed her eyes.

"Shut up, Ali. That's personal. I know of that, but you shouldn't snoop around other dinosaurs' business. I mean, that's what you basically did, but you shouldn't do that. I don't know what I would call it, but other dinosaurs would call it a nosy wench."

Ali huffed.

"Don't call me a wench, you courtesan!"

Janet was stricken back by the word, along with the two males. Rhett and Littlefoot faced each other, and Janet just blinked in confusion.

"A what?"

Ali shook her head.

"You heard me."

"Whatever," shrugged off Janet.

Ali huffed.

"It's not whatever. You can't shrug it off that easy."

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes, it does!"

Rage built inside Ali, and the unexpected happened. Ali bashed her head against Janet's head. Janet moved back a bit, stricken by the sting of pain. She shook her head and sneered at Ali.

"Now, it's on."

Janet turned around and quickly whipped her tail at Ali. Ali got up on her two hind legs to avoid it, but the tail bruised her risen left leg. Ali closed her eyes momentarily as the pain appeared then disappeared rapidly. She got on all fours, shaking the nearby ground slightly. Ali then charged at Janet and rammed her down. Janet landed on one of her sides. From the ground, Janet looked up and saw that Ali got on her hind legs again. Quickly using her tail, she wrapped it around Ali's right hind leg and pulled it. Her strength caused Ali to lose balance and fall on her back. Ali then rolled to her side as Janet got to her feet. Ali got to her feet to only have her head bash against Janet's head. The force caused both of them to grow dizzy. Ali fell to the floor as Janet tried to keep her balance.

Littlefoot watched the fight evolve from when it started. There was a part inside of him that wanted to stop the fight, but at the same time, he wanted to see the two females fight. Rhett walked up to Littlefoot and stood by his side. He leaned his head closer to Littlefoot, still concentrating on the fight and whispered to Littlefoot.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know? Listen, Littlefoot. I had always dreamt of this day. Too bad they aren't fighting over me. You're one lucky dinosaur."

Littlefoot faced Rhett and slightly narrowed his eyes.

"Lucky? Rhett, I'm left with the most difficult decision of my life."

"I know, but… Heck, this is entertaining."

Littlefoot half-closed his eyes.

"You would think of it that way."

Rhett slightly chuckled.

"You know me too well."

Littlefoot gave a stern face at Rhett. Rhett quickly saw this and stopped his awkward chuckling. Littlefoot sighed. He took a step forward.

"I need to do something about it. I have to."

Littlefoot walked up to the two fighting females.

"Guys. Guys?"

Janet and Ali still went at it, not hearing Littlefoot. Now, their tails were used as swords, crashing against each other. Littlefoot huffed.

"Janet? Ali?"

The two practiced their fancy feet-work as their tails whipped around the air. Soon, Ali's tail accidentally hit Littlefoot's head. It wasn't that hard of a hit, but it was still pretty painful. Littlefoot shook his head and grinded his teeth against each other. He finally snapped.

"Ali! Janet! Stop it!"

Terrified by his voice, Janet and Ali quickly stopped. After being pushed down by Ali, Janet rose to her feet and faced Littlefoot. Ali looked at Littlefoot.

"Let me speak. Janet, it's great that you understand. I'm happy for you. Ali, I thank you for accompanying me on this quest."

Littlefoot sighed before he continued.

"But I have to pick one."

Janet's hazel eyes and Ali's blue eyes widened. Littlefoot cleared his voice.

"I know it's hard, but I came up with a decision. I love you both…but I can't be with either of you."
