A/N: This is a what if story based around the first film, although it goes all the way into the TV series and the gang's adulthood. In this, Chomper is in the first film and Littlefoot and his friends take him with them to the valley. Reviews and constructive criticism are welcome.
Prologue
Littlefoot, Ducky, Petrie, Spike and Cera were continuing their journey to the Great Valley, they had been on the move for atleast two weeks, and since then, Littlefoot had assumed a sort of leadership role among the gang, the Cera didn't want to admit it. Their trip so far had been surprisingly mellow, with just one sharptooth encounter, a Four Foot sharptooth(Dimetrodon).
Even so, Littlefoot had a nagging sense that a new member would join the group. "Me hope we get there soon, me hungry," Petrie commented. "We're all hungry flyer." Cera growled. "Cera, did you really have to do that, he's just saying." Littlefoot reprimanded. "Whatever flathead." Cera replied, Littlefoot sighed at Cera's bigotry, but he hoped she would improve.
"Hmm, there's a small stream right here, and..." Littlefoot was cut off when he saw a small little egg in a crevice a little ways away. "Hey, there's an egg down, there is." Ducky said. "We should probably rescue it, because it wouldn't survive without parents." Littlefoot said. "You sure about that?" Petrie asked nervously. "Yeah, a baby can't survive without some form of care." Littlefoot said. "Ooh yes, and we have been taking care of Spike, we could take another, yes we can." Ducky added.
"Alright, I'll go get it." Littlefoot said as he walked down, when he got there, the egg started to move. "Looks like it hatching." Petrie said. Soon, the egg fell completely off, and the hatchling inside opened its eyes for the first time. Everyone was shocked, it was a sharptooth, but it looked different from the Sharptooth that killed Littlefoot's mother, instead of the dark green skin and fully red eyes, the hatchling had a light blue tinge, with a pale underbelly, and white eyes with red irises.
"Its a..." Everyone began. "Sharptooth!" Petrie said as he flew behind Cera. "Lets get rid of it!" Cera suggested as she prepared to charge. Littlefoot was about to agree, when he thought he heard his mother's voice tell him not to. He also saw the little sharptooth look at them with curiousity, and make a little squeak. He took pity on it.
"No Cera, why don't we take him with us?" Littlefoot suggested. "But he a sharptooth!" Petrie said fearfully. "But he's just a baby, and what if we took him to the Great Valley, and I could convince my Grandparents to adopt him?" Littlefoot replied.
"Yeah sure, adopt the same kind of creature that killed their daughter." Cera sneered. "Shut it!" Littlefoot growled, he felt some kind of connection with the little sharptooth, sure it was the same kind that killed his mother, but her spirit was telling him to take it in. "He is pretty cute, yep yep yep!" Ducky chimed in.
Chomper tried to get up and he sneezed a little. "Aww, he is cute!" Petrie said. Spike seemed to nod in agreement. "Okay, now, we need a name for him." Littlefoot thought. "Maybe um..." Littlefoot thought when a dragonfly flew over the baby sharptooth. Out of instinct and hunger, it chomped the insect out of the air and started to eat. "Eww!" Ducky and Petrie said.
Littlefoot also momentarily looked way. Then a thought came to his mind: "how about Chomper?" Littlefoot asked. Everyone seemed to like it, except of course Cera. "Unless he chomps on you." Cera smirked.
Littlefoot rolled his eyes at her behaviour, then turned his attention back to the baby sharptooth, or Chomper. "Well, that settles it, your names Chomper." He said. Chomper seemed to like it, and squeaked his approval. "Alright, come one Chomper," Littlefoot said as he and the others began walking off.
Chomper tried to follow, but simply fell down. "Looks like we need to teach him to walk." Cera grumbled. After showing Chomper how to walk, Littlefoot let Chomper hitch a ride on his back, while Ducky and Petrie rode on Spike. Their trek to the Great Valley now had yet another new addition.
