Ok, deffinetly gonna do this one. "Age up/age down"

Nothing too chaotic, just a group pic of the gang in their teen years. But for this I'm goning to design them in the way my current fanfic described them. Like how Littlefoot will have a scar over his back and Cera growing her two other horns. ^w^

Always love drawing characters in a different age. This one is proably most enjoyable since during the whole franchise the gang never grows up (which I hate.) Alright enough from me!

I know this is really old but OH MY GOSH! i COMPLETELY AGREE. I've been a part of the fandom for a few years now, and ever since 2018, I've been making fanart and reading the books ever since.

And as mentioned above, it really doesn't seem like a kid friendly book franchise. Yeah, it's got cats and stuff, but it mainly covers mature themes.

Basically the books follow a story of four clans(which is just a large group of cats) who are enemies, but they have to live in the same forest with eachother. (they have their own territories of course, but sometimes this creates conflict)

So anyways, this franchise covers violence, detailed lore, romance, adventure, mystery and all that good stuff. I've read a few books already, but now i'm able to read them for free online.

It's this website called Bookshare. Doesn't give me the vibes of reading an actual book, but at least I can catch up on the books.

Chapter 3- Unsolved situations

chapter summary- while Littlefoot and Ruby share their moment, Chomper realizes something's bothering Cera


Littlefoot shifted restlessly in the shade of a great twining tree. He had been waiting for Ruby for just a few moments, but to him it felt like eternity. His conversation with her replayed in his mind...


A few minutes ago


Littlefoot approached Ruby with a smile as Chomper made his way near the trees to look for ground fuzzies.

She hadn't noticed him until the longneck winced. The gash on his back stung as he moved around.

"Be careful, you might open your cut." She looked at him now with scolding eyes.

He rested in front of her, sitting down gingerly as to not provoke his wounds. "Ya know you shouldn't be worried about me all too much, take care of yourself first." He insisted, with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"That fastbiter didn't lay a claw on me!" Ruby said, almost with pride. "But you got the worst of it, out of all of us you got ingured the most."

Littlefoot sighed. He didn't want her to worry about him, she and Chomper have problems to deal with already. 'A good distration is what she needs. but what...?' From the corner of his eye, Littlefoot could see Cera sharpening her horn on a tree, splitting away the bark. Her tampering shuffled the treestars above and casued a lose bundle to float their way towards her. She growled in frustration as they landed over her eyes. Cera trambled over them with bitter anger before stalking off.

They both stiffled a laugh. That's when Littlefoot had an idea. He turned back. "What do you say we go on a walk, we can gather treestars before they fall off?" His hospitable face hid uncertainty; knowing Ruby she'd probably refuse in this case.

"But you shouldn't be walking, Littlefoot."

'Yep, as I thought...' He suppressed a sigh. "Well, the bleeding has stopped, thanks to you, but might do me good if I stretch out my muscles for a bit." He suck in a breath. 'wow, and even out thought that sounded stupid.' Of course, he knew what she was thinking. He hardly rested after that fastbiter battle, and now he wanted to go on a walk? Oh who was he kidding? This wasn't about him right now...

Ruby turned her head to the side, searching through his expression with a confused face of her own. She was convinced eventually by his pleading face. 'Oh-' He meant to show a more passive expression. 'I don't want her to think I'm up to something...' And no, he had nothing planned, he just wanted to spend more time with her. Hopefully his nerves didn't get in the way this time, and maybe he could get a chance to Ruby's view point on him.

"OKay." Ruby said at last, with a more relaxed tone. He could see that she was just worried about his injuries. He took that to note, not to casue any attention towards that while they went off. The fastrunner stood up, Briefly brushing pieces of grass away as she turned tail, into the trees. "I'll be right back, I'm just going to get a drink from the watering place over there. I'll come back to return!" With that, Ruby continued into the trees.

Before she was no longer audile, he hollered as her body started to disappear in the tangle of trees. "Let's meet back at the left side along the border!" Littlefoot fizzed with excitement as Ruby flicked her tail to show she had heard as it was enveloped by darkness.

Littlefoot turned to head to their meeting place when he saw Cera and Chomper standing curiously at him. He looked at the two of them, surprised.

He frantically thought of what to say as Cera stated the obvious. "Where are you off to?" Her glare held suspicion more than anything.

Chomper, meanwhile, waited expectantly for Littlefoot's answer. He completely trusted him of not hiding anything.

Littlefoot chose his words carefully, he didn't want his other friends to suspect anything. "I was just telling Ruby to meet me sometime later so we could discuss about how i'm gonna tell my grandparents of what happend." Littlefoot spoke confidently, and it was convincing enough to sway their suspicions away. "You know, about that fastbiter."

Cera puffed annoyingly. "Don't bother, they'll just give you the same scolding as Any other time." Littlefoot tried to muffle a relieved sigh as Cera started to walk away.

Chomper, however, still stood in front of him, holding an expression Littlefoot couldn't read. After a long pause and looking the longneck over, Chomper wismpered his final concerns, just to be sure. "Is everything alright?"

'Ok, so I didn't tell them the EXACT truth, but yeah, everything's alright! So far…' He gave a slight nod, his face shown a bit of bit of sorrow and regret. He knew Chomper trusted him, he was a loyal friend. Why didn't he just tell him what he was really up to?

Chomper looked at him gently, then smiled goodbye as he shuffled through the patch of trees.

Present time

"You're just too embarrassed to admit it to them, that's why." Littlefoot said to himself, still under the winding tree. He knew that was the reason he didn't mention his doings to Chomper and Cera. Who knew how they'd react if they found out Littlefoot liked Ruby.

"Embarrassed of what?"

He nearly jumped out of his skin as Ruby's voice rang in his ears. He turned to the left to see she had emerged from a band of brambles. "Oh! Ruby!" She gave him a moment to get his bearings. With a relieved sigh he calmed down and approached her with a friendly smile. "Sorry, I was just talking to myself while waiting here for ages!" He finished, saying the end of his sentence dramatically.

Ruby made her way beside him, and they both started down the path. The ground beneath him was sandy and the ferns were trampled away, making a trail.

A light breeze drifted beside him, calming his burning skin from the evening bright circle.

After a while she responded. "It's not like you're in a hurry to be in a rush?" Ruby held a thoughtful stare before turning back to Littlefoot.

"Oh no! I just wanted to go on a quick stroll." He panicked at her words, he didn't want her to think she'd done something wrong.

"Then why did you bring me? And not Chomper or Cera?" Ruby's soft glance held only curiosity.

Littlefoot fumbled over his words. He really didn't know what to say. "Well… I just…" Alarm washed over him in a wave. What could he say?

Suddenly his front leg gave way over a jutting root. Littlefoot let out a shriek of surprise as he staggered forwards. His outburst was muffled as his body rolled into a ball and continued to tumble. His predicament ended shortly when he made it to flatter ground. He lay still, his chest rising up and down to catch his breath.

Embarrassment flooded over him. 'Did that literally just happen? What did I even trip over? Littlefoot took a moment to regain his thoughts, trying to figure out what went on in the previous seconds. Suddenly he heard uncontrollable laughter.

He lifted his head a little to see Ruby holding her hand around her mouth, she laughed so hard that she began to tear up.

Hot embarrassment washed over him once more. He scrambled to his feet, trying to appear less of an idiot.

When her fit had ceased to a light chuckle. "My...I didn't know you longnecks could roll like that!" She paused to let out a short titler. After her laughter was at rest, she put on a more sympathetic smile. "Are you all right?"

Littlefoot let out a shaky sigh. 'I guess it was a little funny…' He smiled at that. But hearing Ruby's laughter tugged something in him. His heart pounded with excitement. "I guess I'm clumsier than you now." He took the chance to shoot a witty remark. Her reaction made him laugh himself.

Ruby's expression faded from an amused to an offended one. "I'm not clumsy!" She chirped with a high pitched voice.

Littlefoot snickered tryumphantly. He knew she wasn't really upset.

She stood still at the top of the slope. He admired the light that glowed behind her, making her shine almost. 'Just stay right there...' Littlefoot just wanted to stare at her all day.

"If you're not clumsy, than maybe you can race me without tripping on something?"

"You're talking to a fastrunner who can run fast! You want to race me?" Ruby put on a mocking skeptical face. She wasn't always competetive, but when she knew she was good at something, she was sure to show it.

All embarrassed and flustered feelings faded away as Littlefoot became more relaxed with inerracting with the fastrunner. They were always close friends, and out of the whole group Littefoot would come to Ruby for advice on how to fix cerain situations, and sometimes just the two of them would conversate during gatherings and such. They were just friends...but something in Littlefoot's head made him question everything again. The dreading thought that Ruby doesn't love him back, or the fact that all of this was wrong entirely. What would everyone in the valley think? Inappropriate? Disgusting? Unnatural? And what of his other friends? What would they say?

He could feel Ruby's gaze resting on him, then he realized that he had been contemplating for too long. Again. He gave her an apologetic smile.

"What's wrong?" With a hesitant voice, Ruby came to his side, staring up at him.

Littlefoot didn't like to worry her, and he definitely wasn't going to tell her about what he was thinking. "I just zoned out a bit, that's all." He shrugged.

There was a pause before Ruby spoke again. "Well. Let's say we get this race on shall we?"

Littlefoot held his breath. 'That was a close one. Alright, back on track, don't make her seem suspicious.' He prepared himself, ready to run when Ruby was at her right footing. He gave a slight glance to his right, where Ruby was standing with her legs fairly apart. He was going to enjoy this, Littlefoot just wished it would last forever.

"Ready?" Ruby held a mischivious grin. He had never seen this side of her, which he loved none the less.

"Ready." He confermed confedantly.

The orange treestars flew out from under them as they bolted through the sandy terrain. The two dinosaurs grinned with excitement.

And while Ruby's eyes narrowed with determination, Littlefoot couldn't hide his content expression as they raced on. He didn't see it as a competitive race at all. It was all more about the enduring feeling of doing something with Ruby, and that's all he cared about.

Both pairs of eyes watched one another as they continued on. This 'race' had turned into a playful runaway; no longer were their forms angled straight forward, eager to win, but instead their bodys circled one another in big loops. Their faces conveyed nothing but warm thoughts.

Littlefoot was lost in time, nothing else existed but Ruby and himself as the outside world blurred around him. He wished this moment would last forever, until fate thought otherwise…



Cera paced around with frustration; her rhythmic footsteps matted the grass.

Chomper, however, leaned against a tree with his tiny arms crossed, completely holding a different demenar than his friend over there. He glanced a peek at the agitated threehorn. 'Yep, she's definitely got something on her mind…Should I ask?' He let out a reluctant sigh. 'Alright fine…'

The corners of Cera's mouth curled into a snarl. This made Chomper question it even more, but he decided an attempt on finding out what was bothering her.

"What's up?" He tried to sound as approachable as possible, not wanting her to think he noticed her defeated look. He was, however, expecting her reply.

"Where the fuck did they run off to? It's been ages!" Cera growled. She briefly stopped her pacing to glare at the bright circle, which was at its peak.

Cera was right, Chomper had to admit. Littlefoot and Ruby have been gone for a while. "Didn't Littlefoot say he was going on a walk?"

"With Ruby?" Cera almost sounded bewildered. "Why Ruby? What does he have to tell her that he can't tell us?"

Chomper noted his leader's change towards the fastrunner, but he didn't give it much attention. "Maybe they just wanted to hang out."

Chomper suspected that a new thought reached the threehorn's mind. "Why doesn't he want to hang out with us?" She growled.

He knew that if they continued on like this it would be nothing but pointless arguments. Arguments that would get them nowhere but raise even more questions. His massive form sat down next to her with a loud thud. "Is It something we need to worry about? Just let him be, he's his own dinosaur, let him have some peace." He tried to soothe her with a gentle voice. Chomper was the big hungry giant everyone knew, but only a friend could see the kindness in his toothy smile.

The sharptooth's words did not calm Cera, however. "I don't believe it… he better not…" Her eyes were focused on nothing. It seems she must be having a battling conversation on her own.

Chomper tilted his head. He wondered what she was thinking about…

"Cera?" When she didn't respond, he pushed on. "What is it?"

Suddenly she turned on him, her throat growled with rage and frustration. "He's just going to turn out like the rest of them!"

Chomper narrowed his eyes. What was she talking about?
...

Instantaneously, Littlefoot and Ruby tumbled together into the thick brush. In that startling moment Littlefoot could only assume that he had tripped again, but ultimately their chaotic antics have gotten out of hand.

They slammed harshly at the bottom of the slope; their landing made the dirt puff up from the ground.

Littlefoot arose from his awkward position, he groaned as he felt soreness in his wounded shoulder. 'Now that was a bad idea…' He slid his expression below him, where Ruby's prone figure lay between his front legs. Her face was blank at first, but soon took on the familiar smile he knew well. Littlefoot began to panic and took on an embarrassed and apologetic grin. 'Oh sweet rainbowfaces help me.'

Littlefoot scooted away from her and stood up. Once again, he winced as the cut on his back began to provoke him.

"Oh no- I knew this was a bad idea! I'm so sorry!" Ruby's repentant voice cried out with such sorrow and regret that Littlefoot didn't know what to do. He stammered over his words as he thought of what to say.

"It's fine, look! I-I'm ok! That fall was my bad anyway."

He could only wish what was going on in the fastrunner's head. Until she thoroughly examined him, Ruby nodded her head slightly. "Ok. But from now on, let's just walk." She said hesitantly.

Littlefoot closed his eyes with a nod of his own as he walked steadily next to Ruby. "Did you care about me?" He shot a risky question, and even so risky that he felt nervous of his friend's answer.

"I just wanted to make sure you were alright." She stated simply.

'That wasn't a no…' He thought reluctantly. 'What happened to the fun we just had? Don't you think we're more than just friends now?' Littlefoot stared at her. He pleaded to the world to let him know what she thought of him; but the fastrunner's face showed a blank expression, she was good at masking her inner emotions. He sighed as they continued on in silence.



They were nearing the end of the path, and they could see the valley's main clearing.

Before they came in view to anyone, Littlefoot leaned forward to give Ruby a quick nuzzle as a goodbye. However, Ruby hadn't noticed and took a few steps away, dodging Littlefoot's attempt.

She soon departed after giving Littlefoot a generous nod.

The longneck turned away, embarrassed at his failure. He could see Chomper and Cera in the distance as Ruby trotted there way. Looks like they are in some kind of conversation…

"He's just going to turn out like the rest of them!" Cera's yell put a puzzled face on the young longneck. It was common for her to shout, but what she said didn't make sense to him as he walked by.

Chomper noticed him and titled his head as a greeting. "Have fun on your "walk"?"

Littlefoot swallowed the nervous lump in his throat. 'I hope they didn't see anything.' His focus remained on them as they stared at him.

Chomper held a skeptical look, while Cera gritted her teeth in frustration; her angered stare burned on him.

Frantically thinking of what to say, Littlefoot was saved as Ruby jumped to his side. "We just wanted to see where that fastbiter went." She assured.

"So that's all you were doing?" Cera hissed doubtfully.

Littlefoot met Ruby's prompting nod. He relaxed a bit to seem more convincing. "Of course, you aren't assuming anything now are you?" Littlefoot said with a challenge. He wanted to be his normal self again. His friends were like his herd, and he was their leader.

What seemed like many night circle cycles, Littlefoot continued to hold Cera's glare with a stern expression of his own. Chomper and Ruby stood to the side, awaiting what would become of the situation.

Finally, Cera broke her focus and turned away. "Fine." She mumbled.

Littlefoot knew she was on his tail, but he spat back one final remark so they'd think nothing of the fact that he lied. "What's with you? I can't just spend time by myself anymore?"

Cera paused. "If I misunderstood you…then I'm sorry." She said with a low but sincere tone before walking away.

Chomper and Ruby looked on as Cera's form disappeared into the distance. They didn't know what to do. Should they cheer her up? Or leave her alone…

Guilt washed over Littlefoot. He tricked them, he deceived his own friends, and for what? To save him from embarrassment? Littlefoot lifted his head when Chomper nudged him with his snout.

The great sharptooth held an assuring smile. "Well…see you later I guess. It's getting late, what do you say we get something to eat, Ruby?"

"Yes please, I'm so hungry that I'm starved." She said eagerly.

Chomper couldn't hold in his amused chuckle. "You might be older than me Ruby, but you'll never outgrow that little habit of yours."

Littlefoot let out a laugh of his own as Ruby's happy expression faded into annoyance. "Well you wouldn't know how to handle it if you had to handle it!...I-I mean-" She was angered at her own frustration.

When their laughter subsided, Chomper prepared himself in search of his evening meal. "Alright, come on, before I starve from hunger." He joked.

"You know what, I'll catch up." Ruby growled.

"I'm gonna be in trouble tonight, aren't I." It wasn't even a question, he was sure his caretaker would get a talk in, and possibly a nip on the tail. That was how they bonded, and despite his massive form, Chomper was still under Ruby's care, from discipline to playful rituals.

Ruby nodded bluntly. "Yes. Yes you will."

Despite Ruby's omanice words, Littlefoot couldn't suppress his laugh. He watched as the young sharptooth mockingly skipped away from Ruby's playful swipe. He continued to watch with an amused smile when Ruby retreated in front of him.

Although Chomper was out of sight, Ruby spoke in a soft-quiet voice. "Don't worry about Cera, she might worry too much, but sometimes she gets a little over her head."

'I'll say.' Littlefoot commented.

"I didn't want her to assume anything, which is why I mentioned the fastbiter." She paused to acknowledge Littlefoot's nod of understanding. "Besides, what's wrong with two friends spending a day together?"

"Friends…?" His whisper was barely audible.

"Of course! Oh! And be careful when you meet your grandparents. You know, about the…fight?"

He hardly heard a word as she continued on. So that's how she saw him. As just a friend? 'This won't work at all…' Littlefoot felt defeated and heavy-hearted. He slid his gaze to the ground, unable to look at her.

"Take care ok?" Ruby began to make her way in the direction that Chomper had. She waved a friendly hand as she disappeared into the bushes. Littlefoot didn't reply, nor did he lift his gaze. 'Oh Ruby…'

Thanks peep! I'm always eager to see your entries.

 And Manofwar, I think it would be awsome if you joined in on this! Though the May and april promt is almost over, you have like... a few days left. But if you don't mind the rush, go ahead, just make sure you notify Flathead so he knows what's going on.

I think I answered a simalr thread to this, but Imma list my favorites here anyways!

1.) Ruby. She's too precious for this world.
2.) Chomper. Come on, he's a trex but cute!
3.)  Littlefoot. He has a kind heart, and doesn't give up on fixing problems.
4.)  Cera. She can be funny sometimes.
5.) Petrie.  I honestly don't know, I just love skiddish and nervous characters.
6.) Ducky. She's a little annoying sometimes, but she's sweet. yep yep yep!
7.)  Spike. If I could just list my favorite characters from the franchise, he wouldn't even be on the list. I don't hate Spike, he's just kinda stands there and eats food...wish they'd make him talk, or give subtitles to his grunting noises.

« on: April 24, 2022, 02:00:24 PM »
I realize that a few people don't like this character, probably becuase he can come off as annoying sometimes.

He's an alright guy in my opinon, though he can be too much somtimes. Wild arms is just this easily scared and talkative bird brain that everyone hates in the movie. Not sure why universal put him in there, when they could have just shorty explain what happened to Bron.

But oh well. He's part of the franchise now and there's nothing we can do, you either hate him or you don't. Wild arms is alright, I just wished he wasn't so dramatic sometimes. Like, come on! How is this man still alive when he just faints or stays frozen when he comes across danger?
