Chapter 4: Meet Bron and the Dinosaurs
The Smiling Critters and the Nightmare Critters walk through the dinosaurs' beautiful prehistoric but empty plateau.
"Hello! Anybody here?" DogDay called.
"Hello! We could use some help here!" CraftyCorn tried to call, too.
"This is lame. Where are those giant reptiles?!" Simon Smoke complained.
"Hey, leather accessories! You better show yourselves, or we'll make you come out of hiding!" Poe yelled while wearing a cloak to block the sun from being on them.
"Poe, that will make them even stay hidden more," Bobby BearHug crossed her arms.
"Maybe it's lunchtime," said PickyPiggy.
"Lunchtime?! I don't want to be lunch to dinos!" Bubba Bubbaphant is concerned.
"Oh, please. As if any of us looks appetizing," CatNap disbelief.
"Have you ever noticed what you and DogDay do to make yourselves delicious?" Rabie Baby smirked.
"Say what?!" DogDay and CatNap were shocked.
"Yeah, believe her. You even caught familiar faces that want a bite from you," Baba Chops nodded.
DogDay and CatNap hid behind Hoppy Hopscotch in worry.
"I don't think that's what they meant, you two," Hoppy rolled her eyes.
"Well, we've been walking for hours. We should take a break," said KickinChicken, who fell on the back to land on grass.
Allister Gator laid down on a familiar tail and said, "Way ahead of ya, Kicker. I found this nice soft log to sleep on."
"Dummy, that's a tail, not a log," said Poe.
The tail moves up for Allister to scream, get off, and run from it. The Smiling Critters quickly summon their weapons while they protect the Nightmare Critters. After the tail hit the ground, Bron the Dinosaur poked his head out of the bushes. He turned his head 270 degrees to look at the Critters.
"Sacre bleu!" Touille was surprised.
"Did that dinosaur turn his head like that?!" Bubba Bubbaphant is in shock.
"Cool! I wish I were double-jointed!" Icky Licky was amazed.
"Hello, we're in serious trouble here, dimwitts!" Maggie Mako exclaimed.
"Hey, I know you," said Bron, turning his head back to the correct position.
He came out of the bushes while PickyPiggy said, "Have we met?"
Bron puts his face before the Critters with a smile and says, "Of course. Surely, you Critters remember Uncle Bron the Dinosaur."
But the Smiling Critters blinked twice before the Nightmare Critters did the same thing. Both Critter Crews then looked at each other, looking confused.
"Since the Smiling Critters are too nice to say this, no, we don't remember Uncle Bron the Dinosaur," Simon said as the Smiling Critters unsummon their weapons.
Bron chuckled and said, "You're as adorable as I last saw you. And since you are here, that would mean you've begun your journey. Come out, dinos! It's just the Smiling Knights and the Nightmarish Dark Knights' children."
Suddenly, the trees, bushes, and tall grasses come out, and on top of the plateaus are the rest of the dinosaurs: Brontosauruses, Brachiosauruses, Triceratops, Stegosauruses, Ankylosauruses, Velociraptors, and Tyrannosaurus-Rexes. They had smiling faces while they brought welcoming dinosaur-sized gifts, like fruit, vegetables, and sweets.
"Hello. Nice to meet you. Welcome to Dino Plateau. Please accept these gifts. I never thought we would meet the Children of the Smiling Knights. Greetings, Sirs and Ladies," the dinosaurs gathered around the Critters.
A couple of baby triceratops approaches the female Critters and hands them a bouquet in their colors.
"Oh, thank you," Crafty smiled.
"Wow, I never thought I would be given flowers," said Hoppy.
"They smell wonderful. They seem good enough to eat," Picky smells the flowers.
"You little dinosaurs are total sweethearts," Bobby petted one of the baby triceratopses.
"To think a girl like me to be given flowers. I feel nice…" said Baba.
"I'm not surprised by being given flowers. The boys couldn't stay away. You little dinos have great taste," said Rabie.
"Luckily, flowers have sweet nectar that's tasty," said Maggie, sucking on the flowers, and her eyes lit up with joy.
"If you like sweets, then you should have our famous Bron Brownies, Dinosaur Fossil Cookies, Volcano Brownie Bites, Dino Dig Parfaits, Dinosaur Ice Cream, and Jurassic World Cookie Pizza," said a Brachiosaurus, holding a basket of the sweets.
Seeing this caused Maggie to squeal and faint into Picky's arms.
"Well, we haven't had lunch yet. So, we don't mind all these gifts us," said DogDay.
"No lunch? Luckily, we prepared meals in your gifts," said a T-Rex.
They whistled for other dinosaurs to bring in Dinosaur Fruit Skewers, Fruit Dinosaurs, Dinosaur Pizza Pockets, Jurassic World-themed drinks, a Carnivore Buffet Table, Iced-Age Water, a Veggie T-Rex Tray, Dinosaur Watermelon Snacks, Dinosaur Nuggets, a Dinosaur Platter, Healthy Fruit Bites, Dinosaur Veggie Bites, a Fun Fruit Platter, and Dinosaur Burgers.
"Don't worry. We raised cattle to get the meat," said a Velociraptor.
"You mean you don't eat other dinosaurs?" Bubba asks.
But all the dinosaurs laughed before another T-Rex said, "Silly, elephant. Eating our brethren was 10 billion years ago. To be clear, the current meat dishes are tastier and healthier."
"Really? Could I take note of the dishes you eat in certain meals? This will be great for research."
Bubba takes out a notepad and a pen.
"This is so unreal. Predator dinos that are not predatorial," Simon confused.
"Like Poe always says, "Who cares?". Their new dining choices are tasty," said Icky, happily eating a Dino Burger.
"Mmm. Mmmm! Oh my gosh, this is delicious," said Allister, chowing on the Carnivores Buffet Table.
"Save me the scraps, Icky Buddy and Ali Pal," said Touille, licking his lips.
"Hello, munching morons. The dinosaur mentioned he knows our parents!" Poe was annoyed.
"They're right. Bron, you said you knew our parents. Is this true?" CatNap asks.
"Yeah. And did you call our parents the Nightmarish Dark Knights?"
"So that would mean we might get enchanted gear and magic, too?!" Baba was excited.
"LET'S GO!" the Nightmare Critters cheered.
"Where did you learn to say that?" DogDay asks while he and his friends tilted their heads, confused.
"You must have so many questions. Come with me to my house. I can answer everything. Hop on my back. I'll give you a ride," said Bron, lowering his head for the Critters to
"Sick! I always wanted to ride a dinosaur!" KickinChicken exclaimed.
When the Critters climbed onto his head, Bron walked off with them and said, "Dinos, wrap up their gifts for the Smiling and Nightmare Critters, would ya?"
"Sure thing, Bron," said Dinosaurs.
"Critters, you doing alright up there?"
"Awesome," the Smiling Critters cheered.
"Wicked," the Nightmare Critters cheered.
But as the Critters and Bron leave, the dinosaurs gather up the gifts they want to give to the Critters. Unknown to them, the same being following the Smiling Critters and the Nightmare Critters appeared behind them. But the dinosaurs noticed their shadow and turned in fear to see the enemy on the hunt for the Smiling Critters, the Pianosaurus.
They said, "Give me those Smiling Freaks! Or dance to my amusement. Hahahahaha!"
