Fan fiction The Land Before Time: Uninvited Guests
Deep in the primeval prehistoric desert, a young Titansaurus was seeking shelter from a sudden thunderstorm . Looking at the cloud, she sighed . Lost and alone in unknown place without a friend in the world, she needed to find the legendary place called the Great Valley. It was a beautiful place filled with joy. It was a paradise on earth. There was no hunger, disease, or drought. All the dinosaurs in the valley were peace-loving plant eaters. They lived in harmony with each other. There were no sharp teeth (tooths). She gently laid herself down away from the pouring rains. She sighed again longing to find the mythical place. She was barely considered no longer to be a hatchling, but she already knew about the Great Valley. Her herd leaders had often spoken about it. Her herd was no more. It brought bad memories to her, just thinking about what had happened to her herd. A group of sharp tooths (teeth) had been chasing them into a large canyon - like area, where there were mountainous cliffs. She was trying to escape the predators, but she was not fast enough to keep up with the herd. Her mother was nowhere to be seen, she called out for her. Then, she tripped into a deep hole in the desert soil. She landed on her chin a few feet below. Looking, she saw her pursuers who didn't seem to notice that she had tripped. They overlooked what had fallen in. She managed slowly lift herself up, then to her horror, she heard terrifying screams as well as falling rocks, along with loud thumps that shook the earth.
The ground trembled when the thumps hit it. It was so bad she couldn't lift herself out of the hole. Rocks, pebbles, dirt all slide down into the hole as a swift rock and dirt river had formed to cause a rock waterfall. She had to get out before she was covered in a landslide. Gasping for air, she struggled to lift her humongous body to the surface. Heaving and panting , she cried as she lifted her massive two toned bulk. Though still young, she weighted more than an elephant. Searching for a sign where her mother was, she looked around. A few feet from where she fell, the sharp teeth were gawking in celebration. They had a successful hunt. They were moving down a path where laid their fallen prey. The young Titansaurus wept for her lost herd. She tasted the death scent on her tongue. The smell of blood clogged her sore throat with its stench. Her mother's dead eyes stared up at her. The cries of her herd lingered in her mind. She had to leave before the sharp teeth notice her still alive. They might want to have dessert later even if they had killed all her herd. She quickly left only to get lost .
Her herd had been searching for the Great Valley even before her mother was born. Was she going the right way? She was so sad, tired, lost and scared, it didn't matter. She fell asleep under sheltered rock in the light rain. She was not aware what lied nearby there. It was made no sound as it approached. Its eyes glowed yellow, then another set of yellow eyes appeared next to the firsts along with a pair of smiling, sharp, crocodile teeth. The teeth opened to reveal more horrible sharp teeth. Both sets of teeth hissed their discontent as they flashed their brightly, reddish, yellow, crested, frilled neck hoods. The young Titansaurus awoke startled at the loud, explosive, hissing sound. She turned to its direction only to get hit by gooey poison.
"Good shot, sister." Replied one of the small Dilophosaurus.
"Why, thank you, dear sister." Replied the other one.
"Who are you ?" cried the defenseless Titansaurus .
Growling while they chuckled evilly as they hissed, "Is this a guessing game ?"
"Sharp tooth ! " The Titansaurus gasped.
"Oh, not just any sharp tooths, I mean..sharp teeth. One must use proper grammar if there is such a thing as proper grammar . " Corrected the Dilophosaurus on the left as the other one cackled like an evil chicken witch. " My sister and I are Poison Spitters ."
" We are also bilingual ones. We know both prey and predator tongues. Now, we must not be impolite. We should properly introduce yourselves, shall we?" The latter hissed.
" I am Dilo and this is Dippy."
" Hee, Hee . It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance even for a short time." Dippy hissed wickedly.
The Titansaurus slumped down on the ground weakened by the poison. Her eyes blurred dimly as her eyelids slowly drooped. Her head nodded off into eternal rest. The evil sister cackled showing their gleaming teeth waiting to pounce on their poisoned prey. The poor exhausted Titansaurus blinded by the poison slowly fell to the ground.
"Thump." The poor thing groaned softly. While the poison spitters could not consume entirely the small Titansaurus all by themselves so the Comps (Compsognathus) that lived around the area had to. The sisters looked around uneasily for they had spotted something unusual in the rock formations. It looked like a passage inside the plateaus. Could it be a dead end canyon or perhaps a valley.
One of the sister said, "Where does it go to sister?"
"I don't know, dear sister of mine, but let's us find out ." Both poison spitters slowly followed the passage. Their sharp teeth, claws, hoods concealed and looking quite harmless easy prey for other sharp tooth (teeth). Looking up to look for flying sharp tooths (teeth), and cautiously moving forward, fearing to encounter some more sharp teeth, the poison spitters creeped along the entrance to the Great Valley.
When they arrived, they gasped . "Oh my!" one shrieked.
" How delightful! It appears we have discovered a Great Valley all by ourselves, have we, sister?"
"So it does look like it ?" The another answered giggling.
"Haha !" crackled the another called Dilo who was showing all her teeth, claws as well as her flaming fanned red hood. She soon discovered her mistake and calm herself. "So we have."
They creeped over a large rock overlooking the whole Great Valley. There were all sort of dinosaurs living together in harmony without fear of being attacked by predators for now. The sisters sneered silently sinister each other. Gloating on what a feast they are going to have while these fools would have no idea where the sharp teeth were hiding.
