Chapter 29: Which way to go? Littlefoot, Ducky, Petrie and Spike jerked up from sleep. "Why so early, Mama?" Ducky babbled half asleep. "Cera! It's you!" Littlefoot called, pleased despite the fight the other day - he hadn't forgotten the dents, scratches and bruises that were still hurting a little bit. "You never wake Petrie up like that again, got it?!" Petrie grumbled having been scared to death. Spike yawned with relish and closed his eyes again. "You better get up if you wanna find your folks, now will ya?" Cera grinned. It seemed to have worked considering that Ducky got to her feet in an instant (alright, Mama!) catching Cera whom she just at this moment seemed to recognise with her eyes. Petrie crawled up on Littlefoot's back who in return shook the Flyer off. "I can't carry you all the time, Petrie," he explained with an apologising gesture. A bit saddened, Petrie climbed down from the back of the little Longneck. "Where to go?" Ducky questioned. "We just follow the path we came from," Littlefoot proposed. "What, if the path divides?" Cera challanged Littlefoot. "Then, well... er... then we simply separate to find the right one..." Littlefoot replied uncertainly. "That's gonna take too much time!" the Threehorn retorted snappishly. "If we wanna find 'em, we gotta be quick!" "Yeah, families maybe go soon?" Petrie guessed. "Exactly! Probably, they assume we're gone but we ain't!" Cera continued her loud thinking. "I ain't, that is!" she added stressing the 'I' a lot. Littlefoot rolled his eyes. "Got any better ideas?" "Yes, of course!" Cera replied, self-assured, ignoring the stinging pain in her back. "I'm listening..." Littlefoot responded in doubt of getting to hear anything useful. Spike was wide awake due to the argument and the loud voices in the meantime. He was letting Ducky know that he considered all the quarreling utterly unneccessary. "It's simple, we just gotta go up there." Cera pointed at the opening in the ceiling that was reachable due to a stairway made of stone that had been created during the cave in. "Me no need to remind you you not made it yesterday..." Petrie retorted quietly. "So what? I had to run for my life twice and that injury was fresh... I'm on my full strength again!" she boasted. "Cera," Littlefoot sighed, "Your injury has gotten worse since then..." "It is infected badly, yes it is," Ducky chattered. "How'd you know that?" Petrie wondered amazed. "I told you about my sister who has stepped into a spiky stone, I did, I did," Ducky narrated. "My Mommy told me that my sister's foot is infected when it was covered with such yellow-ish stuff like Cera's injury is covered with. It has hurt-ed my sister very much and there is only one leaf that is helping." "You only told me about it, Ducky," Littlefoot replied. "I. Am. Fine!" Cera growled. "If you say so..." Littlefoot said indifferently. "If you say truth you must show Petrie you can do it!" Petrie shouted angrily. "Fine!" Cera snorted. She was highly aware of the pain though she simply ignored it out of habit. Just as the moody Threehorn was about to start Ducky interfered. "Do not do it, Cera! I know how we can escape this place, I do!" Cera roared at Ducky: "Yes?! "Tell us about it it, please," Littlefoot said in a friendly way in contrary of Cera. "Yeah, me wanna know, too," the little Flyer confirmed. "Well, Spike must have come in somehow, right?" Ducky spoke up. "Ahhh... I get you," Littlefoot muttered. "How'd you know he didn't use the same entrance like we did?!" Cera shouted madly. "'Cause entrance only reachable by us Flyers," Petrie responded. "Spike could lead us the way which he has taken in," Ducky spoke. "Could you do that, Spike?" Littlefoot asked. The Gang stared at Spike, Cera doubtfully, the others encouraging. Eventually, Spike nodded and trudged along the path Littlefoot had originally suggested to walk along anyway. "Are you sure you gonna find the right way?" Cera besieged Spike. In fact, Spike wasn't completely sure but at least he could smell green food that way hence he would lead Ducky and her friends there. He nodded again. "Fine!" Cera grumbled. "Lead the way, Spike!" Littlefoot said encouragingly. "Yep, yep, yep. Spike is going to lead us," Ducky jabbered in joy. "We gonna have lots of fun for sure!" Cera mumbled. Nobody really listened to the Threehorn. The five young dinosaurs started their trip. However, they completely forgot to take along the shiny pebbles...
