Eating some leaves, Topsy was still feeling the effects of his mate's painful ''lesson'' for him... he would give Tria her foot rub later that night...

Feeling worn out from that morning's events despite her trip to the mud pool, Tria decided to take a nap. She checked on the little ones before she went to her spot and curled up.

Glad to see that his mate was relaxed, Topsy decided to get some food for her when she woke up, hoping to keep her in a good mood...

"Haven't those threehorns anything better to do than to fight?" Littlefoot's grandfather said. "They argue about everything... at least we longnecks have more sense than that..."

"Well, dear... you remember how aggressive you were when you were young?" his mate said to him.

"But I grew out of it soon enough... when I met you. Mr. Threehorn seems to be more aggressive now that he's with Tria..."

"He's lost a mate and children in the past... I can see why he'd be protective of them" Littlefoot's grandmother said.

"He treats them like assets sometimes, and not like free people... as if Tria, Cera, and Tricia 'belonged' to him..." the old male longneck responded.

"I guess that is how threehorns behave in more... dangerous areas of the world..." Grandma longneck said. "Fairness and equality are luxuries, it seems... reserved for lands where there is plenty to eat, enough water to drink, and enough space to live..."

"We have those things here, but there are times when this is not so... remember the water problems we had? And those swarming leaf-gobblers? And the cold times?" her mate replied.

"That's true, dear... but we've managed to keep things together... although as soon as there was the threat of a short supply of things we need to live... fighting broke out... same thing with sharpteeth threats..." she said.

"At least we don't have too many problems involving territory... or mates." Grandpa longneck said. "For most kinds, there is a roughly even number of males and females for most kinds..." he replied.

"In this valley, it seems like there is isn't much competition to get things, but a fierce desire to protect what one already has." his mate added.

"At least some of us know that the way to win a mate's love is to show love to them... not to try and impress them with physical might or some such thing..." Grandpa longneck said.

"I agree... but there is one thing which, although it won't affect my love... would impress me... " she said nuzzling her mate... "I have a splinter in the third toe of my back right foot..."

Just my luck. I'll try to pull it out, although I'm not as limber as I used to be.." grandpa longneck replied feeling the crackling of his bones as he leaned in towards his mates foot.

Noname · **Reply #706 on:** July 11, 2009, 04:14:58 PM

Kidding? No, she wasn't kidding. His mate lay down on her stomach and stretched out her leg with the splintered foot.

Grandpa longneck pulled the splinter out "I think I'll need a back rub myself after all this.. I'm not so good an bending WAY over anymore..."

Meanwhile...

Tria woke up and saw the food her mate had gotten her...

Noname · **Reply #707 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:01:56 PM

Lying on her side, Tria stretched and yawned...

Nick22 · **Reply #708 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:06:10 PM

Mumbling some form of"thank you" Tria slowly got to her feet..

Noname · **Reply #709 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:09:45 PM

"Nice..." Topsy thought. "Maybe she won't be mad at me..."

Noname · **Reply #710 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:11:20 AM

"Oh... I haven't forgotten our recent problem" Tria thought to herself "I'm still tired of his bad attitude... and his demands to mate too often... I agreed to do it more often, but not as often as he pressures me to do..."

Nick22 · **Reply #711 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:07:43 PM

Perhaps Topsy got the message as he moved away towards the large pool..

Noname · **Reply #712 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:10:00 PM

Quickly, he returned with some sweet bubbles, hoping that these would help to loosen Tria up some more...

Noname · **Reply #713 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:11:58 PM

Returning. he set down the food for his mate...

brekclub85 · **Reply #714 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:14:23 PM

Soon, Tria ate the aforementioned food.

(OOC: Guys, could we move the scene off Topsy and Tria? It's getting a little overdone, IMO.)

(good idea)

Turning over in his sleep that night, Littlefoot dreamed about Chomper... he had run away from the valley...

Nick22 · **Reply #716 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:26:34 PM

YUnless he could find him, it was likely he would never comeback..

Noname · **Reply #717 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:39:54 PM

Very sad the next day, Littlefoot joined the rest of the "gang" near the river...

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #718 on:** July 13, 2009, 01:13:46 AM

"What is wrong, Littlefoot?" asked Ducky.

"I...don't wan't to talk about it," Littlefoot whispered.

"But we your friends," Petrie gasped. Spike nodded in agreement.

"Could you guys excuse us for a moment?" asked Cera before she guided Littlefoot away from the others. As soon as they were out of earshot of the others, Cera turned to Littlefoot.

"It's about Chomper, isn't it?" she asked. Littlefoot nodded.

"I was dreaming about him again. I'm so worried about him, Cera," Littlefoot choked. Although she found it hard to admit, Cera was missing Chomper as well. To see her best friend so sad only made the situation more hurtful.

"Littlefoot, I'm sure he'll be fine," Cera said compassionately.

"But, what if he hates us even though we were not responsible for him leaving? What if we never see him again?" Littlefoot asked before he began to cry. Cera stepped forward and embraced him. Littlefoot was at first surprised but then relaxed. Cera was not one to normally show her soft side, but he knew she had it in her.

"We'll see him again someday, Littlefoot. I don't know when, but something tells me it will happen. Also, he could never hate us. He knows we're his friends and that we'll never abandon him. He won't abandon us, either. Take your advice you normally give me and be positive about this. He'll be back someday, Littlefoot. We're all friends forever," she soothed as she continued to embrace him.

(Skipping X)

"You know... Chomper can probably take care of himself..." Cera said
