The Swyder Tails

On my friends' request to put my fanfics here... Hehehe... Hope you enjoy my third fanfic guys!
This is a collection of Swimmer, Flyer and Glider short stories.
When I mean Swyder, I mean not only Petrie, Guido and Ducky, but also the others out there, like Pterano. Spiketails will also be featured. I will also use some of my made-up characters.

I will update every week, if I'm not bitten by laziness. Hopefully I will make a collection of 10-15 stories. Please tell me what you think and give comments/suggestions/storyline ideas (I'm bound to run out soon...) Hope you enjoy!

EDIT: I forgot to do the disclaimer! Oops. I don't own LBT.

Swyder Tail #1: What is a Family ? 6th Year Anniversary.

Note: The gang grows 1.5 times faster than a regular human.

Have you ever noticed that 6 is a strange number in LBT?
There is a 6 year gap between the original LBT and the sequels.
6 is the middle number of the sequels, not including the first.
When Pterano's banishment ends, I estimate the gang will celebrate a 6th year anniversary. Littlefoot's family is composed of six longnecks, Shorty included.
There are also 6 named members of the threehorn family. Strange, huh?

So, I decided to make a fanfic about the gang, on the 24th year of the original LBT, which, by the way, is divisible by 6. Happy 6-ing, and I hope you enjoy my story.

It's been almost six years since the gang of 5 first met. They have grown to be fine adolescents (16 yrs. old in my conversion), and have learned quite a lot about the world. An age where MOST good things happen. The word most is important to remember.

True, this is a time to enjoy the last bits of childhood before entering the real world, and a time where you meet more new friends, and the time for love to blossom. However, with all the joy at this stage, there always is a sad experience.

The passing of a loved one.

The gang was not an exception of this loss, for that is how the circle of life goes.
Grandpa and Grandma longneck were long gone, and Bron was not heard of.
Topps was getting old, and could barely survive without the care of his daughters.
Tria held the same fate. Tricia was now old enough to understand how the world works, and she knew what to expect.

Mama Flyer was still alive, but she could not see clearly and could not fly for more than an hour. She was still waiting for Pterano's return, assuming he was strong enough to make it, which was highly likely, for Pterano was quite healthy in his day.

As for Mama Swimmer, well, Ducky was still grieving from her recent departure, needing her friends' comfort more than ever. Littlefoot understood her best, for Cera, Spike and Petrie barely knew about their parents, so they didn't really understand the feeling. Littlefoot's Grandparents passed away only recently, therefore, feelings of depression still lingered in him.

Ducky was walking around in circles by the Sheltering Grass, tears occasionally rolling down her cheeks. She had grown much taller, and more mature, I might add. Her colors hadn't changed, and she still had her childhood phase.
Near her, Spike sat under a tree, staring at the water of a nearby lake, as if reflecting on his life. He had grown as well. His spikes were almost fully grown, and his plates were showing. He used to be much bigger than Ducky, but his sister was now catching up.

Just then, Petrie flew up towards them, looking happy. He had grown a lot, too. Many say he's a mini-Pterano.

"Guess what?" he told both of them.
Ducky walked up.
"What?" she asked, trying to keep a calm voice as she talked.

"Uncle Pterano gonna come back soon! Me hear it from other flyers!" Petrie grinned. He still held on to his childhood grammar.
Ducky gave a melancholy smile.
"That's...nice, Petrie..." she managed to say.

Petrie's grin quickly faded. He knew he had said the wrong thing.
"M-me sorry..." he said hastily, not knowing what to say.
Ducky sighed. "It is okay...yep, yep, yep... Family IS an important thing in our lives, after a-..."
She didn't manage to finish the sentence as tears fell down on the grass.
She covered her eyes and looked down.

Now Petrie felt REALLY guilty. But, as if she read his mind, Ducky, still staring down on the grass, said, "It is not your fault... just...getting emotional." She let out another sob.

Spike came over, hearing each word of their conversation. He could talk, but he preferred not to, and he only talked to his close friends. Recently, the 3 of them had gotten closer than usual.
"Good days come and go," he said sadly, looking Petrie straight in the eye.

Petrie nodded. He really wanted to cheer them up, but he didn't know how.
"Uh, me just...get the gang, ok?" he told them.

The two nodded. Spike went back to his spot and continued looking at the water. Ducky joined him this time, though. She had something on her mind, but she decided to wait for the gang.

Suddenly, she saw 6 bright stars in the sky, as well as the ghostly spirit of Mama Swimmer.
"Spike, look!" she exclaimed as she pointed at the sky.
"Mama?" Spike asked softly. The stars twinkled, as if to say, "Yes".
Then a voice rang in Ducky's head. The voice of her mother.

"You are not alone, my dear Kyah. (Kyah is Ducky's real name) You still have a very, very big family out there. Just let your heart find it for you. And whenever you feel there's no one by you, look into yourself. Your loved ones are IN you, Kyah. You just have to find it."

Then the voice was gone, and so was the ghost of Ducky and Spike's mother, leaving the two of them alone once again.

"Family..." Ducky said to herself.
She had a feeling she understood what her mother was trying to tell her.
She saw her friends in the distance. She went over to them, feeling a bit sad, but hopeful too.

"Is there something wrong?" Littlefoot asked.
Ducky shook her head.
"Nothing...", but then the words came out of her mouth without her meaning to.
"Thanks...for being part of MY family."

"HUH?" the gang said in unison.
"Well, I have always known that a family is a group of people you love..." Ducky explained softly. The gang exchanged looks and nodded.
"We have always been helping each other, and being together... for the past 6 years."

"6 YEARS! Already!!!" Cera yelled.
Ducky nodded, rubbing her ears. "I have been counting."

"Gosh, 6 years already." Littlefoot commented.
"Yeah," Petrie agreed. "We never part with family 'cause family right here."
"A family, more than being friends. A family, where the loving never ends." Cera added.

"As much as we miss our loved ones, we must remember that the circle of life goes on, and we must live each day of it." Ducky finished, feeling that a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

And at that moment, they knew a real family never splits apart, for somewhere deep inside your dreams, they dwell inside your heart. A family is not just your relatives they say, but also those you count on, who make you smile day by day.

That concludes Swyder Tail # 1.

Extra: A preview of Swyder Tail #2: A Forgotten Past...

A long time ago, before the gang was born, the earth had many beautiful places other than the Great Valley. An example of one of these places was Alder Vyette, or Height Dwellings, where most flyers and gliders lived.

Somewhere in Alder Vyette, in a nest surrounded by tall grass, a blue female glider was watching over an egg. She looked quite happy, as if she knew the hatchling would be a joy to see, but sad as well, as if she had to do something she would regret for the rest of her life.

Just then, a green male glider appeared out from the grass and sat next to the female glider. "Is it about to hatch?" He asked, with the same expression as the female. "Yes, I think so..." she replied.
Then she let her feelings out without meaning to. "Can't we keep him with us? We'll let him find it out on his o-" "No," The male replied firmly. "This is what's best for him, and all the gliders out there. He'll know the truth when he's older." "I guess that is true. Our past is best left alone," the female agreed.

Just then, there was a cracking sound. The egg was hatching! A baby teal glider popped out of the egg, looking at the world for the first time. The female glider smiled and picked the little hatchling up. The baby glider licked his mother, as tears fell out of her eyes. The male glider looked happy as well. He looked at his mate. "Why don't we name him..."

Ever had any really nervous moments recently?

Just yesterday, we had to pass our essay in school. My friend told me to keep it for her so it won't get crumpled. When it was time for us to pass it, I COULDN'T FIND MY FRIEND'S ESSAY!!! She was like, WHAT!!! I had mine, but hers wasn't there.

 Luckily I found it on time, uncrumpled. I kept apologizing after that. It's over and done with, but the thought still scares me. I would've died if I didn't find it, and I nearly had a heart attack. I hope that never happens again.  

So... What are your super nervous moments?

You know how the parents & grandparents of the gang are called Mama, Grandpa, etc. except for Topps and Tria, right? Do you think it would be better if they used names for them or not?

I always thought it would be best if they have names, because if Ali has a grandpa, for example, we'd have 2 Grandpa Longnecks.

So, what are your thoughts on this?
