Reply To: The Land Before Time: Death in the Great Valley
Note: This is also a LittlefootXCera pairing story. I always saw the possibility of Littlefoot and Cera growing up and becoming more than just friends.
Chapter 2
Later that night, Littlefoot was seen sulking; the death of his grandparents was very devastating. Even though, he was safe with Cera’s family, he still greatly missed his grandparents. Cera came back to the nest and noticed that Littlefoot was just as sad as he was in the morning.
“Littlefoot?” Cera asked as she rushed over to his side.
After seeing the tears falling from her best friend’s eyes, she was instantly concerned. She hated seeing him so upset and laid next to him. The longneck turned his teary gaze over to Cera; he sensed that she cares for him judging by how she rushed over to see if he was okay.
“I miss Grandma and Grandpa; don’t get me wrong; I like you and your family and I appreciate you guys for taking me in; but, it’s not the same as it was when I lived at my old nest,” Littlefoot admitted.
“Don’t worry about it; I’d feel the same way if I lost my family and had to be taken in; I know that me and my family could never replace your grandparents; but, you still have memories of them from when we were hatchlings up until their deaths,” Cera assured him.
Littlefoot was impressed; Cera was normally a full-of-herself, bossy and stubborn threehorn, much like her father is; now, she is being more sympathetic to him. In the back of his mind, he thought maybe Tria’s a good influence on her as well as on Topsy.
Soon enough, the two teens looked in each other’s eyes; then, they moved their muzzles closer together. When Cera opened her mouth to put her tongue in Littlefoot’s mouth, he surprisingly didn’t pull away from her.
“What’s all this, then? An interspecies relationship is being formed under my nose?” Kosh demanded.
The teens pulled away and faced the angry clubtail coming at them.
“Just wait until your parents hear about this, young lady!” Kosh added.
“Oh, I’m, like, so scared,” Cera retorted.
Littlefoot chuckled under his breath; however, Kosh managed to hear it.
“Young man, this is not a laughing matter; you better have a good explanation for why you two were kissing,” Kosh snarled before walking away.
“That clubtail is a pain in the butt,” Littlefoot stated.
Unfortunately for Littlefoot, Kosh heard what he said. He then turned back to face the young longneck.
“Keep talking like that, and I’ll give you a pain in the butt,” Kosh growled right up in Littlefoot’s face.
Littlefoot pulled back; Kosh’s breath was ripe; since he had eaten overripe treesweets and sweet bubbles. He then waved his paw in front of his face.
“That’s disgusting; are you sure you don’t garnish your sweet bubbles and treesweets with your own dung?” Littlefoot wondered.
Kosh went wide eyed at that remark. This wasn’t like Littlefoot to talk like that to his elders; he was usually more respectful. However, Kosh was being very bossy to him and Cera; so, it was a contributing factor to Littlefoot’s bad mood. The recent death of his grandparents has already made him feel bad enough without getting yelled at.
“So, no comeback, huh?” Littlefoot sneered.
Kosh grumbled under his breath and wandered away from the area.
“I sure showed him that he can’t tell us what to do,” Littlefoot told Cera.
A little while later, Kosh came up to the Thundering Falls and saw that Topsy was taking a drink. Once the adult threehorn had quenched his thirst, he turned around and faced the clubtail.
“What’s eating you?” Topsy asked.
“Littlefoot and Cera, that’s what! I saw them kissing…with their tongues in each other’s mouths,” Kosh answered.
“What would you like me to do about it?” Topsy wondered.
“Tell them that their relationship would never work and that the council will not allow them to be together as more than friends,” Kosh demanded.
In the past, Topsy could never imagine a threehorn and a longneck falling in love with each other. If he had fallen in love with a longneck while he was Littlefoot and Cera’s age, his two choices were either the death penalty or find a new place to live; that is, another valley.
“I can’t keep them apart; if they want to get together as more than friends, it’s none of our business to tell them otherwise,” Topsy claimed.
Kosh growled.
“I knew it! The longnecks made a mistake appointing you and Tria as the new leaders; you have gone soft; and I for one am disappointed and ashamed of you,” Kosh said in a dark tone.
“I have not gone soft; just ’cause you and I don’t share the same opinion, doesn’t make my opinion less valid than yours,” Topsy protested.
And with that, Topsy wandered back to his nest and Kosh went back to his.
