It was a day with fine weather in the Great Valley. The kids were together in the Great Valley playing Stop the Seed. Cera lunged at the seed, sending it out reach of Petrie, who had flown up to get it. "Oh man!" Petrie moaned. Cera butted the seed with her horn, sending it whirling toward Chomper, who jumped up and grabbed it. Petrie, angry that Cera had intercepted the seed, flew toward Chomper, hoping to ensure that he couldn't pass it to his teammates. Ducky came toward him from the opposite direction. The two blocked his path to Spike, not that it mattered, as Spike was only half paying attention, as he'd spotted a yummy green plant that looked too good to pass up.
"Ruby catch!" Chomper yelled. She jumped at it, but it moved past the tips of her thumbs and sailed over her head and sailing out of sight.
"Ha, out of bounds! Now the seed is ours again!" Littlefoot laughed.
"Oh dear!" Ruby groaned, putting her head in her hands.
"Where did it go?" Chomper asked.
"I think it went that way" replied Ruby, pointing toward some bushes. "I'll go get it." The Fast Runner went around a corner and looked for it. "Where could it have gone to? It was heading this direction when I saw it before the point that I no longer saw it." she said to herself.
She heard someone moaning in pain. She quickly rushed to the source of the sound and found a Yellow Belly lying on the ground. The seed was next to him. "Are you ok?" she asked, concerned.
"My wife and I were here waiting for my cousins Loofah and Doofah when suddenly this pointy seed comes and conks me on the head!" complained the Yellow Belly.
"Sorry about that." said Ruby, blushing.
"Ruby, did you find it?" came Littlefoot's voice.
"Yes, and I found a Yellow Belly too." answered Ruby.
"Yellow Belly?" asked Littlefoot.
"Yes, the pointy seed has knocked him down."
Littlefoot and the others came into view. Doofah walked toward them. "Hello there. Glad to see you again."
[Theme song: "All I see is the day in front of us. All I see is the day in front of us. Burning bright with a new-born sun. Burning bright with a new-born sun. Come follow me. Hills to climb and valleys to roam
Oh, streams to follow all the way home
To the Land Before Time
Before time."]
"What are you doing here?" asked Cera.
"We were helping my cousin Stubby and his wife Ashla get to Berry Valley. However, this really big Sharptooth came after us. He had one yellow eye and one red eye. He had this red claw. Scarred face. Scary-looking fellow. He showed up with two Fast Biters and the three of them chased us. We hid here in the Great Valley." said Loofah.
"Luckily he didn't follow us in here." Doofah said.
"You mean Red Claw?" asked Chomper, who had been standing behind Cera and who walked into view to talk to them.
Loofah, Doofah, Foobie and the other two Yellow Bellies jumped back. "Sharptooth!" they cried. They turned and ran.
"I thought you said the Great Valley was safe from Sharpteeth.." Ashla complained to Loofah and Doofah.
"We did too. One must have snuck in. Tricky things, Sharpteeth." Doofah replied.
"Wait, come back, I'm not going to hurt you." cried Chomper.
The Yellow Bellies turned and looked at Chomper. "You're not?" gasped Stubby in shock.
"No, I'm a nice Sharptooth. I'm friends with Littlefoot." said Chomper.
The Yellow Bellies came back. "Perhaps you can tell that other guy to leave us alone." said Doofah.
Chomper laughed. "Red Claw won't listen to me. He wants me dead."
"We tried up with our tush and look like a bush. Didn't work. The ground was rocky." said Loofah. "What did you try?" Chomper asked.. They moved up their tush and looked like a bush. Chomper snickered."Very clever disguise. However, there is another problem with that. One you didn't think of."
"What?" asked Loofah
"Your smell." replied Chomper.
"Smell? I don't smell that bad, do I?" asked Loofah, sniffing his armpit. "PU! I guess he was right!"
Chomper tried hard not to laugh."No, that's not what I meant." he said. "A Sharptooth will smell you and chase you based on it. It doesn't matter if you look like a bush if he has your scent. Our sniffers can find you anyway."
"So, what do we do?" asked Doofah.
"You need to smell like something else other than you." said Chomper.
"Should I smell like Loofah, Foobie, Ashla, or Stubby?" Doofah asked.
"No, you need to smell like something other than a Yellow Belly." Chomper replied.
"How about a Longneck?" Doofah asked.
"Um, no." Chomper replied, shaking his head at how slow the Yellow Bellies were. "I was thinking more like a plant. Like berries."
"How do we do that?" asked Loofah. A while later, they were rubbing berries on themselves.
"Good. That ought to mask your scent." said Chomper.
"Great idea Chomper. Now the Sharpteeth won't be able to smell us." Ashla said.
However, she'd spoken too soon. Doofah started licking the berry juice off of herselr. "Mmmmm." she said. "No, no, no!" yelled Chomper, irked.
"Mmmmmm, berries." said Loofah. He too started to lick the berries off of himself too. Foobie, Stubby, and Ashla hadn't licked off the berries, as they had had more sense than Loofah and Doofah.
Chomper groaned. He would have facepalmed too, except that his arms were too short to allow him to do so. "This is going to be harder than I thought." he said in annoyance.
Sometime later, they were once more covered in berries. Chomper whacked Doofah, who had been about to lick herself again. "Stop it!' he snapped.
"Sorry." said Doofah.
"Well, let's get to Berry Valley." said Littlefoot.
"Do you even know the way?" asked Ruby. Littlefoot nodded.
"We're going to go adventuring. Adventuring. Adventuring. I'm goin' to go adventuring
and who knows what I'll find." sang Littlefoot.
"Will we be able to find some way
to get to Berry Valley and keep Red Claw away?
If he finds us it will wreck our day." sang Cera.
"I sure hope not." sang Chomper.
"Will we go near a water fall?" sang Ducky.
"Will me meet Sharpteeth big or small?" sang Petrie.
"I hope we don't meet them at all." sang Ruby.
"I hope there's lot of berries that we find!" sang Loofah.
"And we leave all those pesky Sharpteeth behind!" sang Doofah.
"So if you go adventuring, adventuring
There's just one thing
You know what you are going to have to do?
You're gonna have to take us all
with you." sang all but Littlefoot. "We want to go adventuring too." the others sang, ending the song.
"Let's get going." said Littlefoot.
"Going where?" said a voice. It was Mr. Threehorn.
"Hello. I don't think I've met you before." said Loofah.
"Somehow, I think that's a good thing." remarked Topps, eyeing Loofah with annoyance.
"They're going to Berry Valley with us." said Doofah.
"Berry Valley? I've never heard of it before." said Mr. Threehorn.
"It is a wonderful place with lots of berries." said Loofah.
"We have some berries in the Great Valley." said Mr. Threehorn.
"Could you show us where they are?" asked Loofah.
"Over there." said Mr. Threehorn, pointing to a bunch of bushes behind the Yellow Bellies. The Yellow Bullies turned around and began running toward the berries. The Yellow Bellies eat all the berries on the bushes. Topps's jaw dropped in astonishment! "When did you guys last eat?" Mr. Threehorn asked.
"Three hours ago." Loofah replied.
"You've got to be kidding me." Mr. Threehorn groaned in exasperation.
"Wait, you're right. It was only two hours ago." Doofah said, laughing. Mr. Threehorn groaned again.
"Mr. Threehorn, we're going to go with them to Berry Valley now. We don't want to be out after dark." Littlefoot said.
"You're not going anywhere!" Mr. Threehorn snapped.
"But we're going with them. They could use a little help avoiding Red Claw." Littlefoot said.
"I don't know about this." said Topps, who wasn't fond of the Yellow Bellies.
"Well, we could always stay here instead of going to Berry Valley. There are lots of nice things here." Doofah said.
"On second thought, I think it would be best if they did go to Berry Valley. But I cannot have you kids wandering into the Mysterious Beyond like you did the last time. This time I'm going with you." Mr. Threehorn said.
"Oh, we're going to be such pals!" said Doofah excitedly.
"Don't get your hopes up." said Topps gruffly.
"That's the spirit." Doofah replied absentmindedly.
They set out toward Berry Valley. "So, how far is it to this Berry Valley?" Topps asked Loofah.
"Well, we're not exactly sure." he replied.
"What do you mean you're not sure?!"
"We'll we normally just get there when we get there."
"Isn't that just great!" Topps moaned.
"Yes, it is." Loofah replied, not picking up the sarcasm in Mr. Threehorn's voice.
"I was being sarcastic." Mr. Threehorn snapped.
"Oh." Loofah said.
"Do you know the way to Berry Valley?" Topps asked.
"No." Doofah replied.
"Then how do you expect to get there?" Topps asked incredulously.
"We just feel it, you know." Loofah replied.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Mr. Threehorn moaned.
"No, you see, we just felt it and found our way to Berry Valley once before. Of course, we had some problems with Hookthumb Sharpteeth but we got there in the end anyway." Loofah replied.
"Some dinosaurs just seem to be very lucky." Mr. Threehorn remarked, shaking his head.
"So, can you do up with your tush and look like a bush if you get into any danger?" Loofah asked Topps.
"Up with my what?! Is this some kind of joke?" asked Topps.
"No, it's not. Though I do know a good one about three Yellow Bellies who…." he paused as Mr. Threehorn grumbled in annoyance, and instead decided to demonstrate what he'd been talking about. "Watch." He, Doofah, Foobie, and the other Yellow Bellies moved their rear ends upward and stuck their heads in the sand.
Mr. Threehorn was not impressed. "And I thought Longnecks were the dumbest creatures out there. Guess I was wrong." he remarked.
"It's actually not that dumb. It's just that it won't always work. A Sharptooth that isn't looking for them might walk by them if he doesn't bother to sniff for them. If he's looking and sniffing for them, however, it won't work." Chomper said.
"And what would you know?" Mr. Threehorn asked. Chomper, affronted by his remark, rolled his eyes. The gesture wasn't lost on Mr. Threehorn, who quickly added "Oh, right."
They soon spotted a pack of Hookthumb Sharpteeth in the distance. Doofah and Loofah and the other Yellow Bellies were oblivious to them, but Foobie soon spotted them and began squawking. "EWAH! EWAH! EWAH!"
"What is it, Foobie?" Loofah asked.
"EWAH! EWAH! EWAH!" Foobie squawked again, pointing toward the Hookthumb Sharpteeth.
"Sharpteeth!" Loofah cried in horror.
"Run!" yelled Doofah.
"Hang on, we don't need to run. I can handle this." Mr. Threehorn objected. He turned and began to move toward the Sharpteeth.
"Wow, he's so brave!" said Doofah in adoration.
"That's my dad!" Cera boasted.
The Hookthumb Sharpteeth ran toward him. "Get lost!" Mr. Threehorn bellowed, charging at one of them and knocking him over.
"I wish I could do that!" Doofah said mournfully.
"Come on!" Topps called to them. They followed him out of sight. The Sharpteeth pursued after them.
Mr. Threehorn was well ahead. The Yellow Bellies, due to being fatter, were at the rear. The Sharpteeth were just around a corner.
"Let's do up with your tush and look like a bush!" suggested Loofah.
They stuck their heads in the ground and moved their behinds up right before the Sharpteeth could spot them. The Sharpteeth did not notice the Yellow Bellies but did spot the kids.
"Run!" Ruby yelled. Some of the kids hid behind the Yellow Bellies, hoping that the Sharpteeth wouldn't spot them.
I smell them around here somewhere. They are probably hiding behind these odd colored plants. one of the Hookthumb Sharpteeth remarked.
I don't think I've ever seen plants like these before. another Sharptooth remarked.
The group spotted Chomper. Hey Little Biter, have you seen any Flattooth kids around here? I can smell them but can't see them. They could be hiding behind of these bushes. one of them said to him.
Not in a while. They came by here hours ago, but I don't know where they could be now. All I saw was that Threehorn, and I'm trying to avoid him. Chomper lied. Having gotten the Yellow Bellies to get themselves to smell like berries, he was glad that it seemed that his plan had worked and that the Sharpteeth were unaware that they were standing next to a bunch of Flatteeth.
What are you doing out here all by yourself? one of them asked him.
Just exploring.
You shouldn't be exploring out here all by yourself. We'll take you home. one of them offered. He and his mate left with Chomper, who quickly began thinking of a way to ditch the two and return to the others.
The other Sharpteeth, meanwhile, spotted Spike and Ruby. Aha, the missing Flattooth kids! one of them cried.
Ruby and her friends ran for it. The Sharpteeth chased after them. As the last of the Sharpteeth were leaving, Loofah, who had an upset stomach, broke wind at that moment. Three of the Hookthumb Sharpteeth turned around and sniffed the air. The smell of these plants has changed a lot. It smells like...YUCK! These aren't plants! The Sharpteeth moved to snap at Loofah. Luckily, Foobie had already sensed the danger, had pulled his head out of the ground, and was quickly able to alert Loofah and move him in time. He moved his head out of the ground and moved aside just as a Hookthumb Sharptooth snapped right where he'd been.
The two quickly alerted the other Yellow Bellies. They immediately pulled their heads out of the sand and took off, the Sharpteeth right behind them. The Yellow Bellies kept running and the Sharpteeth continued to gain on them. The Sharpteeth came to a halt as they saw some of their companions slammed backward toward them. Mr. Threehorn had attacked the Sharpteeth to stop them from hurting the kids. The Sharpteeth made for Mr. Threehorn but were thrown backward by his headbutting like their companions had been earlier.
The Sharpteeth got up, as did the ones that had been flung earlier. The group all ran at Mr. Threehorn. "Run!" Topps, who knew he couldn't take them all by himself, yelled.
Meanwhile, Chomper and the two Hookthumb Sharpteeth turned a corner and headed into a canyon. The Sharpteeth weren't paying too much attention to him, so he halted, and they walked past him. He slowly made his way back the other way toward his friends.
A Hookthumb Sharptooth, meanwhile, had chased Ruby and Ducky up a fern tree. "Back brute!" Ruby yelled, pulling loose a branch and smacking the Sharptooth in the face with it. RRNNNH! The Sharptooth snarled. "Go on Ducky!" Ruby said, holding out her hands so that Ducky could climb onto them and higher up the tree.
The Baryonyx lunged at her again. She tried to smack him again with the branch, but the Sharptooth grabbed the branch with his jaws and pulled it away from her. She nearly lost her balance but was able to hang on. Again, the Sharptooth leapt up. SNAP! His fangs narrowly missed her legs. He jumped up again. SNAP! The Sharptooth missed her again but was able to snag some feathers attached to her right arm and pull them loose. "Oh dear! Oh dear!" she cried. "Help!" As she watched Ducky reach the highest branch, out of reach of the Sharptooth, Ruby thought that she was a goner. The Sharptooth was about to leap up and attack when he turned around and snarled, staring down at Chomper, who had bitten him in the tail.
What did you do that for? the Sharptooth snapped.
Because I can. Want to do something about it? Chomper taunted him. He stuck out his tongue at the irate Sharptooth before turning and running off.
Why you little….! the Sharptooth thundered, stomping off to make Chomper pay for biting him in the tail.
Ruby and Ducky used the opportunity that had been given them by Chomper's distraction to climb down the tree and begin looking for the others.
"Do you think that Chomper will be ok?" Ducky asked Ruby.
"I think so. He knew that it would be dangerous to go and do that before he went and did that. He's done stuff like this before, like the time he went and saved me from Red Claw."
Chomper, meanwhile, was barely ahead of the angry Sharptooth. I'm going to get you now, you little brat! the Sharptooth bellowed at him. He wasn't sure what he was going to do. He'd hoped to lure the Sharptooth away from the others and lose him, but that didn't seem to be happening. He spotted a crevice in a big rock and quickly crawled into it. The Sharptooth quickly smelled his way to where Chomper was.
Found you, you little brat! Now you're going to pay! the Hookthumb Sharptooth thundered. He began to push with his snout and claws at the rock, trying to reach Chomper. Chomper backed into the crevice as far as he could go, shaking in fright and hoping that the Sharptooth wouldn't get to him.
The Baryonx would have reached Chomper, had he not been distracted. "Yoowhoo! Over here tough guy!" Stubby yelled. The Sharptooth turned around to stare at the silver Beipiaosaurus. "Want some Yellow Belly in your belly? Come over here and get it!" The Sharptooth abandoned Chomper to go after the Yellow Belly. Chomper came out of hiding once the Sharptooth had left.
Stubby, meanwhile, jumped off of a cliff. The Sharptooth looked down, expecting to see a body, but, much to his disgust, found that Stubby had jumped into a lake below and was floating on his back, looking up at the Sharptooth and sticking his tongue out at him.
"Na na, can't get me!" Stubby laughed. The Sharptooth scowled before walking away empty-handed. Stubby returned to the other Yellow Bellies.
"Stubby, you're alive!" cried Ashla in relief.
"Yep, that Sharptooth would have had to try harder than that to get me."
"Let's hope that we don't meet any more Sharpteeth before we get to Berry Valley." Topps said.
"Does anyone have any idea where Berry Valley is?" Ashla asked.
"Nope. We'll get there when we get there." Loofah replied.
"I was afraid you were going to say that." Stubby groaned.
"Glad to see that some of you Yellow Bellies are reasonable." Mr. Threehorn remarked.
"Oh don't mind Stubby. He's just a stick in the mud." Loofah said to Topps.
"Am not!"
It was nearing sunset; Ruby turned to Topps in concern. "Mr. Threehorn, it's getting dark. We need to find a safe place to rest for the night. Wherever Berry Valley is, we won't get there tonight. And if we try and get there tonight, Sharpteeth will spot us in the dark and since it is dark, we won't know they spotted us until long after they've spotted us."
"Ruby's right. Let's find some place safe for the night." Mr. Threehorn said.
After searching for twenty minutes, they eventually found a large cave to rest in. Mr. Threehorn, Ruby, and Spike wanted to rest for the night. However, Loofah and Doofah weren't ready to go to bed yet. "Come on you two, it's time to rest!" Ashla whined.
"I'm not tired yet." Doofah replied.
"Me neither." Loofah said.
Foobie rolled his eyes at the two. He was the Wise One of the Yellow Bellies and had gotten his two friends out of more pinches than he cared to remember. While many Yellow Bellies were inept, these two were particularly gifted in that arena. Still, with his help, as well as a ton of good luck, Loofah and Doofah had managed to survive so far.
"Well keep quiet and don't bother us." Topps snapped at Loofah and Doofah.
"Ok, we'll just dance to pass the time." Loofah said.
"Dancing? Hmmmph!" Topps remarked.
"Oh, you'd like it. It's fun." Doofah said.
"I don't dance!" Topps bellowed.
"Why not?" Loofah asked.
"It's silly!"
"We may be silly, but dancing is not." Doofah replied.
"I can't dance anyway." Mr. Threehorn said.
"Have you ever tried?" Loofah asked.
"Well, no, but….."
"Come on, it's easy!" Doofah said. She and Loofah grabbed Mr. Threehorn and tried to get him up to get him to dance.
"I really don't want….." Mr. Threehorn began to protest. Loofah and Doofah forced him to move his legs as they began to dance. Despite Mr. Threehorn's big size, the two of them together had enough strength to force him to move.
"Come on. Come on and dance." Loofah sang.
"Come on and move your feet." Doofah sang.
"Come on and swing your tail round to the Yellow Belly beat." the two sang together.
"I will not dance. Don't waste your time.
Please just go to sleep. It's past bedtime." Topps sang grumpily.
"How would you know if you like it if you've never tried?
Keep moving your feet and legs in stride." Loofah sang.
Surprisingly, Cera joined in, siding with Loofah and Doofah. "Come on move your feet. Come on it's not so bad.
Come and shake your tail and legs and have some fun dad." she sang.
Mr. Threehorn stared, mouth open, at his daughter in shock.
"What about you Stubby?" Doofah asked.
"Nope. Don't….hey!" Doofah had grabbed him and made him dance with her.
"Come on Stubby!" she said.
"I'll right I'll dance.
I'll take a chance.
I'll swing my feet.
I'll dance to the Yellow Belly beat." Stubby sang.
"Come on, come on and dance.
Come on and flap your fuzz." Littlefoot and Ducky sang.
"Spin a spin." Chomper sang.
"Grin a grin." Ruby sang.
"Be happy just because!" Chomper and Ruby both sang.
"Come on, Come on, come on, come on…" Ashla sang.
"Come on. Come on and dance." they all sang, finishing the song.
"Ok guys. That was fun and all, but I think it's time we went to sleep." Mr. Threehorn said.
"I agree. I'm pooped." Stubby said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I want to get to Berry Valley soon so I can eat lots of berries." Loofah said.
"Me too!" Doofah said in agreement.
Foobie yawned and lay down and feel asleep. The others soon joined him.
Meanwhile, Tria asked Grandma and Grandpa Longneck "Any sign of Topsy yet?"
"No, nor of the children." Grandma Longneck replied.
"I believe they may have left together, though to where, I have no idea." Grandpa Longneck said.
"Well, it's no good searching for them at night. We should wait until the morning until we go look for them in the Mysterious Beyond." Tria said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Threehorn, the Yellow Bellies, and the children awoke around sunrise the next morning. Stubby stretched and yawned. "Morning already?"
"'Fraid so." replied Mr. Threehorn, who wished that he had been allowed to sleep in.
"Well, we might as well get going." Ashla said.
The others soon got up as well. "We should get a move on if we want to get to Berry Valley before it gets dark." Loofah said.
"Do you even know how far it is to Berry Valley?" Stubby asked.
"No, but we…." Loofah began.
"Just feel it." Stubby finished for him, shaking his head.
"Yep." Doofah replied.
"Well, let's get a move on. We've got to get to Berry Valley before it gets dark…or before we run into any other trouble." Stubby said.
Meanwhile, the Sharpteeth Red Claw, Screech, and Thud caught a whiff of the scent of Yellow Belly. They didn't just smell Yellow Belly; they also smelled Chomper, Ruby, and Littlefoot and his friends. They also smelled the Threehorn that had fought them when they had tried to sneak in through the Hidden Canyon the time that the children had depleted the supply of Tree Sweets which had kept them away. Normally, the three of them considered Yellow Bellies too fattening for consumption and thus junk food. However, as they were consorting with Chomper, Ruby, and their enemies from the Great Valley, they decided that they would kill and eat them along with the others.
Meanwhile, Littlefoot and his friends and the Yellow Bellies continued on toward Berry Valley. "Are we almost there yet?" Ashla asked.
"Not sure." Doofah replied.
Foobie squinted and saw the entrance to Berry Valley in the distance. "SQUAH! SQUAH! SQUAH!" he squawked, hopping up and down and pointing excitedly.
"What is it Foobie?" Loofah asked.
"SQUAH! SQUAH! SQUAH!" Foobie continued to hop up and down and point.
Doofah squinted and saw Berry Valley. "Oh look, it's Berry Valley!" she cried excitedly.
"Finally!" Stubby cried.
"Let's hurry up and get there before we run into any trouble."
"Like what kind of trouble?" Loofah asked.
ROOOOAR! Red Claw, Screech, and Thud came into sight.
"Like that!" Cera cried in alarm.
"Go to Berry Valley. I'll hold these three off!" Topps barked.
"You can't possibly take all three by yourself Mr. Threehorn!" Littlefoot argued.
"How are you guys going to take them?" he asked.
"We'll think of something."
The three Sharpteeth moved toward the children and the Yellow Bellies. "What are we going to do?" Stubby asked Littlefoot.
"I have an idea." the Longneck replied.
"What?" Ashla asked.
"We defeated some Hookthumb Sharpteeth about two cold times ago by bouncing. Perhaps we can do something similar to defeat Red Claw."
"Bouncing?" Stubby asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you nuts?" Ashla asked, questioning their sanity.
"No. But we can't do it down here. We'll need to get higher up. I have an idea."
Red Claw, Screech, and Thud moved toward Mr. Threehorn, the other children, and Loofah and Doofah. Littlefoot swatted a rock at Red Claw with his tail; it hit the Sharptooth in the shoulder. The Sharptooth and his minions turned away from the others and began to chase after Littlefoot, Stubby, and Ashla.
"Littlefoot, what are you doing?" Cera asked.
"Trust me. I have a plan."
"I hope it's a good one."
As Screech, Thud, and Red Claw began to climb up toward them. Littlefoot waited till the Sharpteeth got near. If he went too soon, the Sharpteeth could sidestep the trap and would be able to continue on and finish them off.
When Red Claw, Screech, and Thud were near enough for the plan to work, Littlefoot yelled "Now!" Littlefoot, Stubby, and Ashla began to bounce up and down. Red Claw, Screech, and Thud paused and stared at them, no doubt questioning their sanity and wondering what they were up to. Too late, the Longneck's scheme became apparent as a large pile of rocks from above, knocked loose by all of the bouncing, came falling down. It collided with Red Claw, Screech, and Thud and sent them back several feet to the bottom. They hadn't fallen far and so weren't killed or seriously injured. However, they were trapped by a bunch of rocks which, though it wouldn't hold them forever, would certainly hold them long enough for the group to get away.
"Nice going Littlefoot!" Mr. Threehorn said.
"Thanks."
"Nah nah!" Cera laughed, sticking her tongue out at Red Claw, Screech, and Thud.
The three Sharpteeth snarled angrily, thrashing about and trying to get free from the rocks at get at her. The group didn't waste any time in leaving. They soon arrived at Berry Valley.
"Thanks for the help guys." Ashla and Stubby said.
"No problem." Littlefoot replied.
"See you around sometime. You're beautiful!" Doofah said to them all.
"Gee. Nobody but Tria and my first wife Cerata has ever called me beautiful before." Topps said, taken aback.
Loofah, Doofah, Foobie, Ashla, and Stubby waved goodbye for a bit before heading into Berry Valley. The kids wanted to go in for a bit, but Mr. Threehorn spoke against it. "I don't know if I can handle being around a whole herd of those weirdos." he said.
"Oh come on daddy!" Cera whined.
"Besides, we've been gone long enough. They're probably worried about us." Mr. Threehorn quickly added.
They couldn't argue with that, so they all headed back and arrived safe and sound back at the Great Valley, having gone on a great adventure with the Yellow Bellies.
