Petrie: What a tiring night? Littlefoot took us off on crazy adventure again? We barely dodge Sailback Sharptooth! Me tired!
Drat, can’t edit this post above. I was going to change it to say that Ozzy and Strut were spotted by that one Flyer (who apparently never bothered to tell the grownups that Egg Stealers were in the Great Valley!!!!)
The Great Valley isn’t foolproof. Baby Chomper, Ozzy, and Strut were able to run around the Great Valley undetected by anyone but the five main characters.
I got to thinking, you don’t think Ruby is an Egg Stealer, do you? “Ovi” means egg and her species WAS originally thought to be an egg eater. Now that is in doubt, but I’m not sure if that was known when her character was created or not.
CHAPTER SEVEN: TRAPPED
“Aren’t you in enough trouble already?” Ali whispered to him angrily.
“We’ve got to get food for the Hollowhorns. What those Longnecks are doing isn’t right.” Littlefoot replied.
“But there are only two of us? How are we going to fight all of those Longnecks?” asked Ali skeptically.
“We’re not going to fight them. We’re just going to get enough food for the others.” Littlefoot responded.
Meanwhile, Cera had awoken Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Perrin, Guido, and Ruby. “I think we should go after the food.” Cera whispered.
“But the grownups said that we are supposed to stay here. They did. They did.” Ducky whispered.
“We in enough trouble already. Why should we wander off?” asked Petrie.
“Because Littlefoot will go after the bullies and try and get the food himself. That’s what he does.” Cera responded.
“How can you be so sure?” asked Ducky.
“Well, he’s gone. And it appears that he wasn’t the only one to leave.” Cera replied. They looked and noticed that both Littlefoot and Ali were missing.
“Oh, I was just getting down to sleeping.” Guido complained. They left.
Rhett, meanwhile, had heard them and had awoken. He noticed that Littlefoot and Ali were gone and that the others were leaving. He silently followed them.
Meanwhile, Littlefoot and Ali approached the area where the food was. There was a bubbling hot spring with green water plants in it. However, much to their dismay, there were Longnecks sleeping around it. It was the hostile Longneck gang.
“What are we going to do?” Ali whispered to Littlefoot.[To Be Continued]
CHAPTER SIX: WHITE MOUNTAIN
________________________________________
They kept climbing and eventually neared the top. “We must rest here. It is getting late. We don’t want to climb in the dark.” said the Old One.
They rested that night. They awoke early the next morning. The snow was coming down again. Littlefoot playfully blew the ground sparkles at Ali. Ali giggled. Rhett scowled at them. Littlefoot knew that Rhett had a crush on Ali. He wasn’t the only one. Littlefoot himself had a crush on his third cousin.
“How much further up is it?” grumbled Cera after a few hours of walking uphill.
“Quite a ways.” said the Old One.
“Can’t we rest for a bit?” moaned Cera.
“No. I did not ask you to come with us.” said the Old One coolly.
They kept going. “I’m tired. I cannot go another step.” whined Cera, falling over.
“We’re here.” said the Old One.
“That is good as I am worn out.” said Ruby, who was tired too.
Guido landed in a tree. “I’m beat.” he said.
They came across a valley at the top. It had water in it, though most of it was frozen. “This doesn’t look like a place for green food.” Perrin’s mother commented grumpily.
“There is some further in.” said the Old One, moving toward bubbling springs. A tall handsome Longneck with blue eyes limped toward them. Ali looked excited.
“Dad!” she said, running up to him. She hugged him with her forelegs.
“Did you get us more food? We have some here but the Longneck Gang is taking away much of it.” he remarked.
“Longneck Gang?” asked Littlefoot. Then, he saw them. A bunch of Diplodocus. They moved forward, chasing off other Longnecks. “This is our food.” said the leader, a tall and cruel Diplodocus with green eyes. Ali’s father backed off.
“Why can’t we share?” Littlefoot asked. The group glared at him.
“We don’t share. We were here first!” snapped the leader of the group gruffly.
“You can still share.” said Littlefoot in annoyance.
“Listen here punk, we don’t share with nobody!” snapped the leader, aiming his tail at Littlefoot. Littlefoot moved aside and he missed, instead whacking part of the mountain. This loosened a fair amount of snow from above, which fell and covered, at least to their middle, the mean Longneck gang. Littlefoot and his group laughed hard. “Think that’s funny do you?!” snapped the leader angrily. “Watch your back!”
Littlefoot and his group went to get green food, now that the bullies were out of the way. When they came back down, they found that the villains were gone. “They sure got out pretty fast. That was a lot of White Ground Sparkles.” Littlefoot remarked.
“Yes, those guys are bad news. They hurt two in our herd.” said Ali’s father.
“This is enough food for a while. However, while you’ve been gone, the Longneck gang has taken over the Warm Bubbly Water. “ said a Hollowhorn to the Old One.
“Aren’t we going to take it back?” asked Ali.
“We have just traveled all the way from the Great Valley and are tired Ali. They’d win if we fought them.” replied her great-great aunt Clarice.
The group was really tired and wasn’t willing for a fight. All except Littlefoot, who had a natural hatred of unfairness. “Come on Ali, we’ll show them.” Littlefoot whispered to Ali. The others went to bed for it was getting late. Littlefoot and Ali snuck off.
