Littlefoot: "No!"
Bron: "Morning Littlefoot. Did you have another scary sleep story?"
Littlefoot: "Yes. It's the same one I've been having for days. I see Grandpa walking out of the great valley. I try to make him stay, but he just says that his time has come. I can't bear to see him leave, because I know I"ll never see him again. Then I wake up."
A tear streams down his face, while Grandma Longneck wakes up.
Grandma Longneck: "It's alright. I know it must have been hard on you, but you'll feel better eventually. You have to remember the good times."
Littlefoot: I think I'm feeling a little better now, I'll go see if any of my friends are awake yet."
He walks off some, but turns his head around.
Littlefoot "Oh, wait, Do you want to play, Shorty?"
Shorty: "Not really. I'd like to play some by myself today."

Cera: "I am now! What's going on? Why'd you have to wake me up?"
Littlefoot: "Well, I was feeling lonely, and I wanted to start playing something."
Cera: "Well, alright. I guess if you want to, I'll join."
Littlefoot: "Lets get the rest of the gang together!"
A little swimmer walks up to the pair.
Ducky: "Hey, I heard you wanted to play something."
Cera: (annoyed) "Well, YOU"RE up early!"

Ducky: "I'm sorry Petrie. You just need to wake up. The day is here, and there are games to be played, there is!"

Ducky: "Aha. I Got it, Petrie!"
Littlefoot: "Hey! Come back here!"
Mr. Threehorn: "They sure are loud and annoying little kids, aren't they?"
Bron: "Oh, it's not that bad. They're just having some fun. And didn't you play this game when you were young?"
Mr. Threehorn: "Well, yes. But I wasn't as bad at it as they are!"
Bron: (sarcastically) "oh really?"
Littlefoot is running furiously, gaining on Petrie and Ducky. Ducky get's worried.
Ducky: "Fly faster Petrie!"
Petrie: "Me trying best me can!"
Spike sees everyone else coming up on him quickly. He starts to look worried, closing his eyes and preparing for the impact.
Just as Cera is about to tackle Littlefoot, and Littlefoot is about to catch the flying pair, All four of them crash into spike. The spiketail is not enough to stop them, and the whole gang flies into the foliage the human was hiding in. Littlefoot ends up on top of the human, and their eyes meet. Littlefoot and the human Simultaneously yell.
-Commercial break-
Littlefoot jumps off of the human and runs off, while the human gets up and runs away in a different direction. The rest of the gang see the human and run away with Littlefoot. Mr. Threehorn sees the human and runs up to the group.
Mr. Threehorn: "Hey! What are you doing here!"
Bron follows close behind.
Bron: "Whats going on?"
The Gang of Five run up to the adults, and the adults stop running to tend to them.
Bron: "Are you kids okay?"
Littlefoot: "Yes, I think so"
Mr. Threehorn: "Did that...Thing scare you kids?"
Cera: "It didn't scare me, daddy! I just followed everyone else to make sure they were okay!"
Petrie: "Anybody see where strange thing go?"
Bron: "I didn't. I was more concerned for you're safety."
Mr. Threehorn: "Looks like we'll have to drive that thing out of the Great Valley!"
Bron: "Now hold on a second. Shouldn't we think this through? I'll call the other grownups together for a meeting."
Mr. Threehorn: "Okay, but you better make it quick. We might not have much time!"
Bron: "Okay." Turns to kids. "Kids, be careful! Stay away from that thing, and if you see it again, call for help."
Littlefoot: "Alright, dad. I will."
Bron and leave, while Littlefoot turns to the rest of the Gang.
Littlefoot: "Lets go find that thing again, I want to see it!"
Petrie: (Shocked) "WHAT! Are you crazy?"
Ducky: "I do not think that is a good idea, no no no."
Cera: "That thing might be dangerous. It could have been a sharptooth!"
Littlefoot: "No, it wasn't a sharptooth."
Cera: "How do YOU know, longneck?"
Littlefoot: "I got a good look at that thing. It didn't have a big mouth, and it's teeth didn't look very sharp to me. It also didn't have any claws."
Petrie: "Me still no wanna look for it!"
Ducky: "Petrie is right. It still might be dangerous."
Littlefoot: "Well, I don't believe you. I think we could become friends with it!"
Spike rolls his eyes and sighs, then walks off to start eating again.
Petrie: "Good idea, spike. Me hungry too!"
Cera: "Yeah, I could use a bite to eat too."
Ducky: "Me three!"
Everyone leaves Littlefoot. He stands there to think for a moment, and then replies to everyone else.
Littlefoot: "Well fine. I'll look for that thing myself!"
Littlefoot runs off.
Scene: The Great Meeting Circle.
All of the Grownups are huddled there, debating what to do about the newcomer.
Ducky's Mom: "Well, what did that thing look like?"
Mr. Threehorn: "Hideous. I've never seen anything like it before. It was mostly white, but it had fuzzy stuff on it's head like those little annoying fuzzies.
Petrie's Mom: "Wow, that does sound hideous! I've never even heard of a creature like that before!"
Mr. Threehorn: "That's why we must drive it out of the Great Valley!"
Bron: "Now hold on a second. I remember this Valley being open to everyone. Do any of you remember? This valley used to be a safe haven for those looking for refuge from vicious Sharpteeth! Have you all forgotten this already?"
Tria: "Good point, Bron."
Mr. Threehorn: "But Tria, how do we know this creature isn't a sharptooth?"
The debate turns into incomprehensible rambling from everyone.
Scene: A thick forest in the Great Valley
Littlefoot is walking through a forest in the Great Valley, looking for the human.
Littlefoot: "Come out you little fella. Please come out. You don't have to be scared, I won't bite."
He looks around some more, becoming discouraged, before he finally eyes the human. The human is sitting next to a watering hole, Cleaning his face and getting a drink of water as well. Littlefoot tries to sneak up on him, but he snaps a twig. The human snaps his head behind him, sees the dinosaur, and starts running away. Littlefoot gives chase.
Littlefoot: "Wait, I won't hurt you!"
Littlefoot chases the human into a cave. The human reaches a dead end, and turns around, Looking horrified. Littlefoot starts to nudge towards the human.
-Commercial break-
The human starts messing around wildly with the device on his arm. He also starts to talk, but his voice starts changing. First from an ape voice, to a dolphin, then a bear, and then to a dog. He then suddenly lets out a loud sharptooth roar. Littlefoot steps back momentarily, looking confused, before drawing near again.
Littlefoot:"Just what ARE you anyway?"
Sweat pours down the human's face as he continues to mess with the device. Suddenly, he lets out a descernable voice.
Human: "Wait! Stop!"
Littlefoot: "you can talk?"
Human: "Please, I mean no harm!"
Littlefoot: "Calm down, I won't hurt you."
The human tries calming down for a few moments, before replying.
Human: "You...you won't?"
Littlefoot: (Chuckling) "No, how could I hurt you?"
Human: "Well, good. It's just I was found out, and then you chased me. I didn't know what I was going to do."
Littlefoot Turns his attention to the human's arm.
Littlefoot: "Hey, whats that thing you were messing with?"
Human: "Oh, This old thing? Hehehe, I don't think you would understand. Let's just say it helps me talk to you."
Littlefoot: "That makes sense, I guess. Well, I'm Littlefoot, who are you?"
Human: "Um, I'm a professor.
Littlefoot: "Professor? That's a silly name!"
Human: "Huh? oh, that's not my n.."
He stops and thinks for a moment, then changes his response.
Human: "Well, yes. I suppose that is a pretty silly name."
Littlefoot: "where are you from, professor?"
The human thinks carefully before replying.
Professor: "Somewhere far away. I'm sure you've never heard of the place."
Littlefoot: "Hm, you've come from a far away place? Are you a farwalker?"
Professor: "Yeah, I guess I am. I travel around studying new places and people. I just want to learn about the world."
Littlefoot: "That sounds very exciting! Um, What kind are you?"
Professor: "What do you mean what kind?"
Littlefoot: "Well, I'm a longneck."
Professor: "Oh, I thought you were a brontosaurus."
Littlefoot: "Whats that?"
Professor: "Well, It's what my kind calls longnecks, We have names for other dinosaurs too. Now, about me. I'm a Human.
Littlefoot: "Hu-man? That sounds almost as silly as your name!"
Professor: "We are quiet strange, yes. Different than any other kind that I can think off.
Littlefoot: "Hey, would you want to come meet my friends?"
Professor: "I guess so, are they friendly?"
Littlefoot: "well, sure they are! Come on!"
Littlefoot and the professor leave the cave and goes off to look for the Gang.
Scene: A forest clearing.
The rest of the gang are around some foliage enjoying a nice lunch.
Littlefoot: "Hey guys, Come meet my new friend!"
The Gang turn to see Littlefoot and the Professor. They start start to look worried. Ducky drops the sweet bubbles in her hand.
Professor: "'Yellow!"
Ducky suddenly looses her worried look and walks up to the human.
Ducky: "Hello. I guess you do not look that scary after all, yup yup yup!"
Littlefoot: "His name is Professor, and he's a farwalker."
Ducky: "Well, hello to you, Professor. My name is Ducky, and I am always ready to make some new friends!"
Professor: "I suppose you're good at swimming?"
Ducky: Oh yes. I am a swimmer, after all.
Petrie flies over and lands on the Professor's head. He bends over, looking at the human in the face.
Petrie: "Me Petrie, and me good flyer!"
Professor: "I see..."
Cera: "Well, I'm still not so sure."
Littlefoot: "So sure of what?"
Cera: "That he's friendly. You'll have to prove yourself, farwalker!"
Littlefoot: "Cera! Be nice!"
Professor: "Oh well, I suppose some are just more afraid of new people."
Cera: (Angrily) "Who are you calling afraid! I'm just looking out for my friends!"
Professor: "Now hold on a second, no need to turn me into a professor cabaab!."
Cera: "well, okay. But don't let it happen again!"
Littlefoot: "Hey professor, you should see the grownups!"
Professor: (worriedly) "Grownups? What grownups?"
Ducky: "Why, our grownups, silly!"
Littlefoot: Yeah, we should show our parents that you're actually friendly!"
Petrie: "That good idea!"
Ducky: "yes, let's go!"
Professor: "Now hold on just a second. Are you sure of this, Little..."
Littlefoot rams into the Professor from behind, knocking him over onto his back. Him and the rest of the Gang then rush off towards the Great Meeting Circle.
Scene: The Great Meeting Circle.
All of the grownups are still around the meeting circle, arguing about what to do with the newcomer.
Mr. Threehorn: "Come on, let's get rid of it already!"
Bron: "hold on, please! We can't jump to conclusions. We should meet this thing face to face and see if it's friendly or not."
Mr. Threehorn: "That's crazy, Someone could get hurt!"
Littlefoot runs up to the congregation, yelling at the top of his lungs.
Littlefoot: "Hey dad, look! That thing is actually nice, look!"
The longneck trips, rolling on the ground, and sending the Professorr flying in the air. He landson the ground, and scrambles up. The adults gasp.
Ducky's Mom: "My word!"
The Professor picks a stick off the ground and shakes it angrily at Littlefoot.
Professor: "Why you little sauropod! Why'd you have to drag me off like that? Why I oughta..."
He pauses, holding the stick in the air. He looks at the adult dinosaurs, who are staring right back at him, before he let's go of the stick and let's it drop to the ground. Mr. Threehorn stomps on up to him.
Mr. Threehorn: "...what? What were you gonna do!"
Professor: "Oh, me? N...nothing, just..."
Littlefoot: It's okay, everyone! he's not here to hurt anybody!"
Bron takjes a look at the human, then at Littlefoot, looking disappointed.
Bron: "Littlefoot, what did you do? You disobeyed me! I told to not go after that thing!"
Littlefoot lower's his head in shame.
Littlefoot: "I'm sorry dad, but I found out he's friendly. Please, say hi to Professor!"
Professor: Waves hand shyly. "Oowehehe!"
Mr. Threehorn: "What are you? A sharptooth or something?"
Professor: "What the blast is a sharptooth?"
Ducky's Mom: "He must not be from anywhere around here."
Professor: "Um, that's right, maim. I'm a farwalker. I came here to study new places and people."
Mr. Threehorn: "Why don't you just go back to whatever little hole you came out of and leaves us alone!"
Grandma Longneck: "Now, now, Topsy. Let's give this newcomer a chance."
Bron: "That's right everyone."
The leader of the Great Valley steps up closer to the Professor.
Bron: "Well, it's good to meet you Professor. Do you need anything?"
Professor: "Well, I am very hungry"
Bron:"Is that all? Well, have some of our delicious treestars!"
Professor: "No, I can't really eat that."
Mr. Threehorn: "What? Are you a Meat-eater?"
He takes a step towards the professor. The human thinks for a moment, then lies.
Professor: "No, I don't eat any meat. You don't have to worry about that, big guy. What about that fruit that tree over there?"
Bron: "You mean this treesweet?"
He pulls the treesweet off the tree in his mouth, and drops it in front of the professor, who picks it up and sinks his teeth into it.
Professor: "Mmm, delicious!."
Bron: "That's good to hear!
Bron turns his gaze to his son.
Bron: "Now, don't think I forgot about you, Littlefoot. You still disobeyed me, so you must be punished! You can't play with your friends tomorrow."
the little longneck lowers his head in shame again.
Littlefoot: "Okay dad. I'm sorry."
Bron: "If that's all, then we're done for today. You can all get back to you things, everyone!"
All of the adults begin to disperse, while the Gang stays with the professor.
Cera: "Well, I guess you're not THAT bad."
Professor: "I'm glad you've had a change of heart Cera. Maybe we can get to know each other."
Littlefoot: "Well, you can play with us...Um...I mean my friends tomorrow."
Professor: "That could be fun, I suppose. See you all later!"
The gang (minus Littlefoot) leaves, and Littlefoot goes to talk to his Grandma. The Professor Wipes his head, breaths a sigh of relief, before talking to himself.
Professor: "Well, I'm glad I got somebody to like me here. I hated That world I came from. It was going down the tubes."
He turns around to look at the Great Valley, breathing in the air.
Professor: "Anyway, I think I'm going to like it here!"
He walks off.
