(Here’s the next chapter, a teeny bit of plot development at the end..)

Chapter 20: Chomper and Rory’s Unexcellent  Adventure

“I’m gonna beat you!” Chomper called to Littlefoot, the two tyrannosaurs were having a little race. “Don’t count your hatchlings before they hatch Chomper,” Littlefoot chuckled back.  They both saw the makeshift finish line a short distance ahead.  The two charged, then jumped for the ending. After rolling around, they both shared a laugh. “Who won?” Chomper asked with a dizzy smile. “I don’t know….maybe one of the multiples of you Chomper,” Littlefoot replied, his vision briefly messed off. Next to Ruby, Chomper liked hanging with Littlefoot the most.  In the previous reality, Littlefoot and Chomper were pretty much brothers who weren’t related, as they always were there to support each other. In this reality, due to both being rexes now, some people who didn’t know them kept assuming they were. Chomper noticed Littlefoot kept looking around. “What are you looking for Littlefoot?” he asked. “Well, actually…” Littlefoot began to reply, when suddenly, he said, “There they are!”

3 more sharpteeth came walking up. Two grownups and one Littlefoot-aged kid. “Dad! Mom! Shorty! Great to see ya!” Littlefoot called. Chomper smiled. “Oh good, his family visited again,” he thought. “But wait..” Chomper looked at Littlefoot. “But didn’t your mom…” “Huh?” said Littlefoot. “Never mind,” replied Chomper. (Author’s explanation. In this reality, Littlefoot’s mom never died. The reason Bron (Wh will be called Tyran), Shorty, and Littlefoot’s mom (who will be called Saura), don’t live in the valley is because they preferred to travel, but Littlefoot didn’t want his grandparents to be lonely, so he voluntarily stayed in the GV.)    “Great to see you’ve been doing well son,” Tyran smiled.  “Same here,” replied Littlefoot. “How you been Shorty?” the sharptoot asked. “Just fine,” replied Shorty. In this reality, Shorty was still a bit of a braggart, and his attitude still had its problems.  Saura gave a smile. “Tell him Shorty..” she said. “Mom…” Shorty replied in nervous embarrassment. “Seems Shorty likes a sharptooth he met on our travels.”  Littlefoot laughed, but only lightly.  “It’s not embarrassing Shorty,” he said.  “There’s a girl…I kinda like…too,” Littlefoot explained. “What’s her name?” “I’ll tell you if you tell me,” Shorty replied.

Littlefoot sighed. “Ok, her name is..” the brothers said at the same time. “Ali.”  Suddnely, both sharpteeth’s eyes widened. “Did you just say…” Littlefoot began. “You know her?” Shorty replied.  “But I…” Littlefoot gasped. Chomper laughed a little, he knew what was happening.  “I’ll see you around,” Chomper called, walking off. “Take care Chomper,” Tyran said.  Chomper grew to like Littlefoot’s brother and father in the past reality, even though his experience with Shorty was a little uneasy. (see the episode, “The Big Longneck Test.”)  Chomper wondered what to do next. He remembered that Ruby, Cera, Spike, and Ducky were busy in another part of the Great Valley trying to find medicinal plants that Mr. Belly Dragger mentioned would help heal Guido and Petrie faster. “What to do…” he sighed. He felt like taking a nice, calm, walk. “A quick stroll around the Mysterious Beyond wouldn’t hurt,” Chomper thought, walking towards the valley’s exit.  He waved the belly dragger herd, who was doing the hunting that day.
The part of the Mysterious Beyond just outside the GV was unusually peaceful, maybe because leafeaters never dared to walk this close to the predators.  It was a perfect place to go for peace and quiet.  Chomper just smiled as he walked around. “Oh dang, I feel it again,” he mentally complained. There was something stuck between his teeth since breakfast, and he just couldn’t get it out.  It was really annoying him.  As he kept moving, he sniffed the air. “Hmm…a threehorn..” he commented.  He took another sniff and realized, “No way,” he laughed in flattooth.  He folled the trail where he eventually caught up to a familiar face. “Rory!” he smiled. “Huh, AGH! A SHARPTOOTH!” the threehorn screamed, but then he saw Chomper’s face. “Phew, oh Chomper, it’s just you,” he said in great relief.

“What are you doing here Rory?” Chomper asked curious. “I thought you would know it’s dangerous for you to get this close to the Great Valley.” “I know,” Rory nodded. “But Redfoot asked me to do a favor.” “Redfoot?” Chomper asked. “Yeah, this big longneck with a scar from his left eye to the bottom of his left foot.” “I would’ve guessed,” Chomper whispered in reply.   “Anyways, I’m surprised I was let out of the valley, my parents grounded me a few days ago.” Rory explained. “But Redfoot came to me with a favor: He wanted me to find something: this weird, rare, black flower.” Chomper thought about it. “It’s probably just a rare food for you leafeaters that he thinks is very good,” Chomper said. He hadn’t seen Redclaw/foot since he made his wish, so he didn’t know what his personality was like.  “So, Redfoot told me the directions, and here I am now,” the threehorn concluded.

Chomper smiled at his friend. “I got plenty of spare time, I’ll help you find them,” the sharptooth grinned. “You’d do that for me? Thanks,” replied Rory. “Hey, what are sharpt…I mean friends for?” Chomper said.  They gave a nod to each other. “Well, let’s go,” Rory said.

(At this point, Chomper and Rory would sing Adventuring, but you probably don’t want to hear that song any more times then you already have in the TV series.)

Chomper was still fiddling with the bit of food stuck in his teeth. “Darn it,” he muttered. “What is it Chomper?” Rory asked. “Oh, just something that got stuck between my teeth at breakfast,” Chomper explained.  Rory looked creeped out by that comment. “Don’t tell me…you ate…” he said, aware of what the answer would be. “Yeah,” Chomper replied with a monotone sigh.  “You know that….” “I know Chomper,” replied Rory. “When me, Greg, Rita, and Myra saw you again a while ago, we all thought you were a completely good sharptooth who never ate meat and didn’t hang out with other sharpteeth for a brief moment, but your friend, whatever you call him, soon showed up and proved us wrong, I guess.”  The friends kept talking while they walked. “Not every sharptooth is mean Rory,” Chomper explained. “It’s just…instinct. Sort of like how all of your kind only eats green food.”  

“Not all sharpteeth are mean, most of the ones in the Valley are pretty cool, it’s just that, well…”  “I know, I know,” Rory replied. “But despite our dietary differences, we can still get along, right Chomper?” Rory commented. Chomper smiled, and remembering his own words from a long time ago “You are what you are, and I am what I am. We can’t change that, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be friends.”  “That’s right,” Rory replied.  The two were able to concentrate on the adventure again. “How close are we to those plants Rory?” Chomper asked. “If I remember Redfoot’s instructions clearly, not too far now,” the threehorn responded.  The two kept going, doing the occasional bit of small talk, until they came up to a raging river. “Oh great, the plants are on the other side of this,” Rory complained. Chomper looked down the river, and saw some logs rolling downstream.  “I got an idea,” he grinned.


“Don’t tell me…” Rory gulped. In both realities, Rory had a fear of fast-moving water.  “If we time it right, we can just jump onto the logs, and make it across, I mean the river’s not that wide,” Chomper explained.  Rory clearly had a look suggestion “I don’t wanna do this,” but he knew he had to complete his take.  “Just follow my lead,” Chomper said. Chomper waited a few seconds, jumped to one of the logs, caught his balance, then made it to the other side.   “Come on, you can do it,” the sharptooth encouraged. Rory looked at the water for a few moments, then nodded  “OK.”  Rory took a few steps back, and then the threehorn made a charge towards the gap and jumped onto the log. He made it onto the log, however, since he was a 4-legged dino, he was unable to retain his balance when it rolled forward!  “Help!” Rory called to Chomper. Chomper panicked, he had to do something.

“Hang on! I’ll find something!” Chomper called to his friend. Chomper looked around the immediate area. “Come on, come on,” he thought. Suddenly he saw a tree right by the river with several vines hanging off it. “Score.” Chomper said, ripping one of the vines off.  “GRAB ON!”  Since threehorns didn’t have hands, Rory had to grab it by placing his two front feet together. “Got it!” he gasped, briefly going under the water and coming back up. Chomper summoned all of his sharptooth strength to pull his friend up. As he got closer and closer to saving the day, he noticed that the vine was starting to break. “Just a few more seconds…” he thought nervously. Rory’s front feet managed to touch the ground again. “I gotcha,” Chomper sighed, lifting him out of the water completely. They deep many deep relieved breaths. “Thanks Chomper,” Rory panted. “Don’t mention it,” replied Chomper.  “Now let’s go find those plants,” he smiled.

They eventually found the field with the black flowers. “How many do you need?” Chomper asked. “Well, Redfoot said about 10 would be necessary,” Rory replied. “Ok,” Chomper smiled, and went to grab some. “Just wait a second,” Rory advised. “Redfoot instructed me to make sure to not ingest any of them,” he said. “Don’t think I would eat these” Chomper laughed, picking up the plants.  He gave Rory the plants. “Thanks buddy, I know the way back from here,” Rory smiled. “See you around!” Chomper called.  Chomper jumped across another log and ran back to the Great Valley, getting some insects as a little snack.  He went to see how Littlefoot was doing with the whole Shorty issue.  “Oh hello Chomper,” Ducky called from the waterhole. “Hi Ducky,” Chomper replied.

Meanwhile, Rory had made it back to the leafeater valley. “Finally, I thought this job be never done,” he huffed in accomplishment.  Rory’s father came by. He knew that Rory was asked to do a favor, so he temporarily allowed him to be un-grounded for the day. “But you know what happens when you’re all done with this,” he reminded his son, even though Rory didn’t need the reminder.  “I know dad,” Rory replied, walking over to Redfoot’s cave.  When he got there, the big longneck was waiting. “Here’s those flowers you wanted sir,” said  Rory, who was carrying them on his back. “Thank, you may go now,” Redfoot replied. “Sure, whatever,” Rory said, and walked off. As he was leaving, Redfoot looked down at the plants and smiled.

“All according to plan….all according to plan…”

Next on TLBT: Sharptooth Valley: A two-parter dealing with ChomperxRuby, Littlefoot(or Shorty)xAli, and maybe another pairing or two.

 

"I can handle you," Redclaw said, picking Kai up with his hand and placing him on his shoulder. "Just hold on," he advised

"I am," Chomper, Veli, and Tyra said at the same time. "So am I," Redclaw added. They could just assume Chomper's folks and Cayso and Racnar were ready too

"You don't have to be," Tyra replied and gave him a kiss....that lasted about 10 seconds.

Chomper chuckled a bit at the sight

Tyra decided to summon some courage. She slowly walked over to Kai. "Kai, it's me Tyra, remember?" she whispered to him, even thoguh he was asleep. "You're the hero who saved me from the Lone Dinosaur."

TOTAL DRAMA VALLEY Episode 4: Volley Battle

That night, at the Fighting Flateeth team’s Girls’ Cabin, Ali, Rita, and Tippy were snoozing, while Cera was explaining the rules of her alliance to Myra and Ducky. “Rule number 1: All 3 of us vote the same person off. Rule number 2: NO betraying this alliance. Rule Number 3: No forming or joining any other alliances.” Cera explained sternly, but then “Follow these and I’m sure we’ll make it to the Final Three.”

CC

Myra: Ok, I don’t really like Cera, but hey, I still want to make it far.

CC

Ducky: Cera hasn’t lied to be before, so I can trust her, I do, I do.

Meanwhile, at the Super Sharpteeth Boys cabin, Rory, Shorty, and Petrie were planning something. “You got the ground crawlers?” Shorty asked Rory. “I do,” the fast biter replied. “I’ll do it,” Petrie silently laughed. Shorty and Rory noticed how easily Guido gets scared, so they decided to prank him. Petrie dropped the creepy crawlies on the feathered flyer’s face. “Guido, wake up,” Rory laughed silently, nudging him. “Wah, is it time for the next… AGH!” Guido screamed, which was so loud it woke up Rhett, Mo (who was in the water across from the cabins), and Itchy. “Not funny!”

2 DAYS LATER…..

Breakfast was being served to the players. Again, the dinos didn’t exactly trust Chef’s cooking skills. Shorty, Littlefoot, Cera, and Ruby were not liking his Treestar Salad, and meanwhile Chomper, Rory, Rita, and Myra even thought the spiketail carcass the production crew got from their “Already Dead When We Found It” stash was a little too rotten.

CC

Chomper: Ok, how come anywhere else, these things taste ok, but here, they taste as bad as green food?

Chris walked into the Mess Hall. “Ok campers, follow me to today’s challenge. There are 20 of you here now. After tonight, only 19 will remain.” Every young dinosaur gulped. They wouldn’t know who would be next. Cera smiled confidentally, she just had a feeling she wouldn’t go yet.

Chris led the dinos to the beach, where in the sand, the camera crew had set it up like a volleyball field, with a net, and all. “What’s this Chris?” Littlefoot asked. “This is volleyball,” Chris replied. “What’s volleyball?” everyone asked in unison.

Chris explained the rules. “Each team has 5 people play at a time. The objective is to hit over that white thing called a net to the other team’s side. Your team gets a point if it hits the ground on the opposite side. You can only score if you’re serving. If you serve but your team fails to miss it, the other team gets to serve.” Chris went on to explain about the various types of serves, and their was a little confusion resulting in a speech about the difference between “Spike”, the spiketail, and a “spike” a way to hit the ball. Each team was deciding to go first. “Best 2 out of 3 wins the game, and we play to 7 points,” Chris explained.

TDV VOLLEYBALL GAME 1:

Fighting Flatteeth: Rita, Ducky, Littlefoot, Nod, and Tippy.

“You guys can do it!” Chomper called. Rita grinned. “When you’re sure I can do something Chomper, I know I can do it,” Rita replied.

CC

Rita: Chomper rules!

Meanwhile, on the Super Sharpteeth team..

“I’m sorry mud brothers, I can’t do this challenge either,” Mo apologized. “That’s ok by me Mo,” Petrie replied, but Rory, Rhett, and Shorty felt different. “This is the 3rd consecutive challenge Mo hasn’t been able to do anything in,” Rhett whispered. “We can still do this,” Tera smiled. She wanted to make as many friends as possible, so she might as well start with her teammates.

Super Sharpteeth: Rory, Tera, Petrie, Tricia, and Itchy.

“Let’s do this thing!” Chris called, and blew his whistle. Rita was the first to serve….

After the ball deflated, Chris had to advise the sharpteeth not to try to serve with their mouths, Rita got it and prepared to serve with her hands.

CC

Rita: Whoops, anyway, it’s just that I’m so used to using my mouth for doing stuff. (Opens mouth wide and brings it close to camera) You see that tooth on the far right? I caught my first longneck with that…

Petrie saw the ball coming. “Me got it!” he yelled. The ball was a little heavy, but Petrie managed to summon all of his strength to hit it back over the net. “Me did it! Me did it!” he cheered happily. But then, Tippy, Rita, and Nod managed to get it back to their side, and it hit Petrie and then the ground, scoring the Fighting Flatteeth the first point of the game.

CC

Petrie: Me glad they have cold stuff to put on my back.

“You did good Petrie,” Tera smiled, trying to improve their mood. She knew that Petrie was already her friend. Since the episode would take to long if we showed everything, the camera crew decided to just edit together a montage of clips from the remaining portion of the first game, which the result was the FF team winning. The Super Sharpteeth team looked nervous.

“Ok, that was a bad start, but we can still do this,” Shorty said. “Yeah, I know my mud brothers can do anything,” Mo cheered “Aw, be quiet Mo,” Shorty said under his breath. Shorty, of course, wasn’t the most positive longneck there was.

TDV VOLLEYBALL GAME 2:

Fighting Flatteeth: Ali, Cera, Myra, Chomper, and Spike.

Super Sharpteeth: Ruby, Rory, Rhett, Guido, and Shorty.

“SPIKE!” Cera called, serving the ball with her head. Spike misunderstood this calling, and tried to hit the ball, resulting in a penalty for the FF team, so the SS team got to serve. Guido looked nervous, as it was his turn to serve. “Hi-ya!” He cried as he used all his might, but the ball didn’t even make it over the net. The team looked mad at wimp. “What a wimp,” Shorty said.

“Whoa, now that was bad,” Nod commented. Littlefoot could only agree with the nodasaurus now.

Midway through the game, Rhett was going up to serve. “Ali, watch this!’ he smiled. Rory slapped his own face. “She’s not even on our team doofus,” the fast biter complained. Rhett served a perfect serve…except for the fact it went straight to Ali, and she hit it, accompanied by Cera and Chomper.

CC

Ali: Rhett’s not a bad guy, but man, he tries too hard.

CC

Rhett: Please, Ali, if you’re watching this, notice me!

CC

Myra: Ok, Cera is far from the weakest competitor. I just hope this alliance doesn’t come back to bite me.

Despite Rhett’s mistake, the next montage of clips occurred. The super Sharpteeth won this game. “All right!” Ruby said, happily jumping up and down. “This round we won, we won this round!’ She, Rorry, Tera, and Petrie did a hi-5. “This is awesome!” Shorty said. “Now if you can excuse me for a minute..”

CC

Shorty: (Looks angrily at camera) Could you turn the camera off please?! I really have to go…”

Littlefoot went up to congratulate Ali. “You did awesome Ali!” he complimented. “Thank you Littlefoot,” responded Ali. “Ah, a couple, the reality show requirement,” Chris said, walking past. “We’re not a couple!” they both yelled in unison. “Man, that guy gets on my nerves,” Ali muttered. “Just ignore him,” Littlefoot replied. “After all, this show allowed us to see each other again, I mean, we haven’t since the whole Rhett incident.” “Good point,” Ali replied. Cera, meanwhile was talking with Ducky and Myra.

“Ok, this alliance is standing strong. Just one more game, and our team wins.!” “Yeah, we’ll win, we will, we will!” Ducky said happily. Cera noticed some sweet bubbles in a tree. “Ducky, could you get me those sweet bubbles please?” she asked. “Sure Cera,” Ducky replied, and went to climb the tree. “Why didn’t you just get them yourself?” Myra asked. “That’s what alliances are for,” Cera replied.

TDV VOLLEYBALL GAME 3:

Fighting Flatteeth: Cera, Myra, Ducky, Chomper, and Littlefoot

Super Sharpteeth: Tera, Guido, Ruby, Itchy, and Shorty.

This time around, the game was a close struggle. “Man, these dino dudes are ssure some fierece competitors!” Chris said, giving commentary. “What do you say, Chef?” “Eh I don’t care,” the creepy looking cook replied. “Whatever man,” replied Chris, and resumed watching the game.

Soon, the game was tied at 5-5. Chomper was serving. This would decide victory, or defeat for the Fighting Flatteeth. “You can do it you little biter!” Cera commented, forgetting how Chomper hated to be called that. “I’m not little!” Chomper yelled, and put all his muscles into hitting the ball. It flew over the net……started falling towards Guido….Guido went for it….but it hit him head on and scored the FF team the point, the game, and invincibility!

“The Fighting Flatteeth win!” Chris called. “You did it Chomper!!!” Rita cheered, and hugged him hard. “Thanks Rita,” Chomper blushed.

CC

Shorty: OK, Guido’s a loser, but Mo hasn’t actually been of assistance to us aat all.

THAT NIGHT, THE BONFIRE CEREMONY…

Chris came out with a plate of sweet bubbles. “You’ve all cast your ballots and made your decision. There are only 9 sweet bubbles on this plate. If I don’t call your name, you must walk the Tunnel of Shame, and you can’t come back, Ever. “ The 10 dinosaurs gulped. “The first SB of the night goes to Tera.” The pterodactyl smiled and collected her treat.

“Shorty.” Shorty grinned and grabbed his. “Itchy.” The flyer did, but looked nervous. “Rory.” “All right,” he smiled, and got his. “Ruby.” Ruby got hers. “Tricia.” The pink threehorn quickly ran up and took hers, gobbling it up. “Petrie.” As Petrie got his, Tera gave him a smile.

Only Rhett, Mo, and Guido remained. All of them knew the team had a reason to vote one of them off. “The next sweet bubble goes to…..Rhett.” Chris announced. The longneck look relieved and got his treat. “Guido, Mo, down to you.” Guido and Mo looked like they could explode from the nervousness. “The final sweet bubble of the night goes to………………Guido.” Guido huffed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his feathers.

Mo frowned. “We’re sorry Mo, but you just weren’t able to help us,” Tera tried to explain. “That’s ok mud brothers,” Mo replied. “See you all some other day,” Mo called, and swam out the “Canal of Shame.”

“Night everyone,” said Chris.

Next time: The dinosaur’s singing skills are but to the test, and enemies are formed among the Fighting Flatteeth team. You’ll be surprised who goes home…

(Here’s chapter 19, like I said, reviews are always encouraged. J   )

Chapter 19: Parental Bonding

The Bright Circle was high in the eky, shining bright on the Great Valley. There were also no puffies in the sky that day, so the weather was absolutely perfect for just doing what you would want to do, right?  Well, for most of the sharpteeth, yes, but not for Chomper. His mother had asked him to help out with a big chore in the cave, and Chomper knew declining the question wouldn’t work.  He had nothing against helping his mother, he loved her very much, but like most kids, he’d rather be hanging out with his friends.  Chomper heaved a bored sigh as he was cleaning his family’s cave out of anything that would make it dirty; IE dead insects, leaves, any blood from prey, etc… Chomper even hummed a one-man version of the boredom song from 9.  The job was that boring.

Terri was also cleaning out the cave, because tonight was her and Dein’s 9th anniversary of when they became mates.  “Oh don’t complain Chomper,” she called to her son. “You know this night is important to me and your father.” “I know, I know,” Chomper replied, eating leftover insects and cleaning out any gooey slime they may have left behind. “I just wish I could be playing with my friends now. I can even smell Ruby and the others nearby.”  “Look, how about we do something that can lighten the mood?” Mama S. asked. “Like what?” Chomper asked curious. “How about I tell you a story when we do this? Then the work won’t seem so hard.” “What story?” Chomper asked. Terri suddenly had a problem: at ths point in Chomper’s life, he had pretty much heard all of the normal stories told to young sharpteeth  (Notable examples being The Sharptooth Slasher, the Sharptooth Who Cold Swallow a Longneck Whole, and The Fast Biter Who Ran So Fast He Spun the Earth Around.), and Terri wasn’t exactly good at improve.

Terri finally had a story idea come to her head. It was fitting for the day, anyway. “How about the story of how your father and I first met?” Chomper looked intrigued. In both realities, he never really asked about this. When he was younger, he even used to assume that his parents always lived together since the moment they were both born, but now he knew better than that.  “Sure, that sounds cool,” Chomper smiled.  “Tell me,” he said. Terri started thinking about where to start. There were many things to tell. “Well, about…I’d say 12 cold times ago…”

12 YEARS AGO, IN THE MYSTERIOUS BEYOND….

Times were rough for the sharpteeth back then.  As mentioned before, most of the predator species were on each other’s nerves and their was no cooperation back then. Terri had just come back from a hunt, her sister/Chomper’s aunt Rennie, and her mother/Chomper’s grandma Rexie.  Her father left when Terri was younger. He wasn’t doing it for selfish or evil purposes, but he never said why.  “Good job sis,” Rennie said sarcastically “If you’re a newborn hatchling.”  “Shut it,” Terri replied. “Girls, quit fighting,” Rexie said to her daughters.  “You shouldn’t be fighting each other, you should only be fighting those who bother you.”  Rexie was good at being a mother when it came to the protected and being devoted parts, but her personality could be described as a bit…crazy. She prefers the term “eccentric”, but yea, she was a bit “nutty.”  (10 million theoretical dollars to the first person who can figure out movie that’s referenced there.)


Terri huffed. “Look, I’m getting thirsty, I’m gonna go see if I can find a water hole, sis, you wanna come?” she asked.  “I got nothing better to do,” Rennie replied.  “Just be back before the Bright Circle goes down,” their mother ordered, “Someone would probably pick a fight with you if you were out then.” “Yes mother,” the sisters replied.  Since a sniffer wouldn’t really work on finding water,  it would take a while before Rennie and Terri would have successful results.  After walking for 16 minutes, they caught sight of a waterhole. “Score! Looks like no one else’s here,” Rennie laughed. “I wouldn’t say that,” Terri replied, eyeing another sharptooth getting some water. It was a male, and about their age. “Just ignore him and he’ll ignore us,” Rennie said.  The sharptooth sisters walked down to the waterhole and began drinking, minding their own business just as the male had finished. He seemed to be walking past, when suddenly, Terri tripped on his tail and fell into the waterhole.

THE PRESENT…..(Which is still technically the past to us.)

“You mean dad did that on purpose?” Chomper laughed a little, cleaning off a few blood marks for last night’s dinner. “Chomper, you do notice when I say what I like about your father, I never really say he’s the most polite sharptooth I know.” Mama Sharptooth replied. “Good point,” Chomper chuckled in reply.

THE PAST…..

“What was that for?!” Terri asked angry, her sister laughing a little while helping her out of the water. “You were in my way,” the rex replied. “I wasn’t!” retorted Terri. “Who are you, anyway?!” “I’m Dein,” the sharptooth replied. “You’re going to pat for that!” Terri yelled, and pounced on him. She didn’t intend to kill him or anything, she just wanted him beat up…badly.  Both rexes surprised each other with their strength. “Pretty tough for someone as whiny as you,” Dein laughed. “Not bad for someone as much of a jerk as you,” Terri said, struggling to pin him to the ground. Eventually the fight ended. “Let’s go home already sis,” Rennie said. Terri nodded. Then, Dein took a big sniff of the air. “I now know your scent,” he looked at Terri, “You’ll never be able to get me off your back.’ And it turns out he wasn’t lying.

THE PRESENT…

“I thought I wasn’t going to see him again, but boy was I wrong.” Terri chuckled. “For the next several months, the sharptooh was practically stalking me. Some times, when I went hunting, he would show up out of nowhere and beat me to the leafeaters I was going for, clearly just to spite me.  I remembered his trail, and I could tell he was around even when I didn’t see him.  Also, sometimes when I went to get a drink, he would show up with a friend of his or two and jump in the waterhole, completely soaking me.  But it was weird: the entire time these things were happening, I never really hated him. And soon, that fateful cold time came…”

THE PAST…..

Terri was hurrying back to her mother and sister through the heavy snow. “I should’ve listened to Rennie, it’s a dumb idea to try to hunt in this weather.” What Terri failed to notice was that a mound of snow was covering a hole in the ground, big enough for a sharptooth to fall through.  After a few more steps…”AGH!” Terri yelled as she fell through the hole and landed in a small cave on her bottom. “Ouch!” she said. She looked back at the hole above. Her height was a little over halfway between the ground and the hole to exit. “This is bad,” she thought. Suddenly, she heard a voice. “Hey? What happ…AGH!” Dein said as he fell in. “This is worse,” Terri mentally sighed.  “Surprised to see you down here,” Dein laughed. “Just admit it, you’ve been following me all this time!” Terri yelled. “Maybe I have,” Dein replied, in a teasing way. “Why?” Terri asked. “I dunno...maybe to see your reaction, maybe I find you strong and cute.” Terri’s eyes widened at that comment.

“He likes me?!” Terri thought. “No way!”  “Look, that doesn’t matter right now, what matters is getting out of this cave.” Terri nodded in response. “I have an idea,” Dein said. “What?” Terri asked. “I hope your strong, so I could stand on your shoulders, climb out, then help you out of here.” Terri wasn’t sure it would work, but she didn’t have any other method planned. “I’ll try,” Terri said. “You sure this won’t hurt you?” Dein asked. “I once carried a dead grownup longneck on my beack, I can handle an overweight sharptooth.” “Hey!” Dein laughed.

THE PRESENT….

“And that is why I don’t have the ability to shrug anymore,” Terri explained to Chomper.

THE PAST…

After a little straining, Dein managed to get back into the Mysterious Beyond and pulled Terri up. “Uh…thanks,” the young adult female rex said. “Don’t mention it,” Dein replied, and began to walk off, when Terri said out of nowhere. “I think you’re cute and strong too.”

THE PRESENT….

Chomper was almost finished with the cleaning just as Terri was finishing the story “So, in conclusion, your father formally introduced himself to grandma and your Aunt son,” Terri smiled, “And soon after, we became mates. And then you came along.” Chomper smiled. “I never would’ve guessed that’s how you guys met,” he said. Chomper wondered if this was the same case in the previous reality, since he deduced his wish didn’t affect sharpteeth who were related to him. He also saw that the cave was completely spotless by dinosaur standards. Teri grinned. “See? Work just flies by when you’re enjoying yourself,” she said. Chomper nodded in agreement. “You can go play with your friends now,” she smiled. “Thanks mom,” chomper said, and began to run off. When he was only a few steps out of the cave, he was jumped on by omeone. When he opened his eyes, it was Ruby! “Oh hey Chomper,” Ruby grinned. “We were missing you,” she laughed. “Don’t worry, I’m here now,” Chomper said, still a little surprised by her introduction.

“I’m glad,” responded Ruby, and gave him a little kiss on the cheek. “Let’s go,” she smiled. Terri watched from the cave as Dein returned with their anniversary dinner. “They grow up so fast..” she smiled

(You know, the drill, read and review. Hope ya liked the little ChomperxRuby moment, I wanted another one.)

Next time on TLBT: Sharptooth Valley: We meet the sharptooth versions of Shorty, Bron, Ali, and even Littlefoot’s mom (shock), homper has a little adventure with Rory, and more of Redfoot’s plan begins to come to light…

"Do you think it's you who killed them?" Redclaw asked. "If so, Myself and I'm sure Chomper's parents could protect everyone."

"Then should we just sleep a distance away from you or something?" Redclaw asked

(The next chapter, is has some more comedy in it. Hope you like it!)

Chapter 18: Turning Over A New Leaf-Eater Part 2

Icky and Dil were walking around the valley. “Greg! The treestar salad’s ready!” Dil called, but of course, Greg didn’t show up. “That’s weird,” commented Icky, “You just need to mention food and that kid’s here faster than you can say food again.”  “He’s probably just off with his friends. It’s not like he would run away or anything,” said Dil. “And if he ever did, it would’ve been because of you,” the flyer insulted. “Hey!” the spiketail yelled. “At least I’m the same species as the boy, not to mention his mother!” “Huh, but I’m the one who spends time with the boy!” Icky retorted. “Oh who needs you?” Dil yelled. Once again, the odd couple was in the middle of  bickering. Most of the other dinos had gotten used to this. It was like hot and cold to them. They learned it’s better to ignore it.

Back in the Mysterious Beyond, it was about a 10-15 minute walk from where the 4 friends were back into the valley.  “I just hope no sharpteeth come after us,” Myra said nervously. “You know they’re nothing but a bunch of evil, killer, carnivores.”  “What about Chomper, Myra?” Rita sighed. “Maybe not now, but when he gets bigger…” Myra began, “Mmmm…longneck,” she said, imitating Chomper and rubbing her belly.  “Knock it off Myra,” Greg said. “Let’s just get home.”  Meanwhile, one of Chomper’s father’s friends, a rex named Growley was just walking around, enjoying the exercise. A scent got into his sniffer. “Hmm…leafeaters, eh, I’m not hungry,” he said, and kept walking, but still in the direction the 4 were going in.  He was just going to let them pass. But when Myrs, Rita, Greg, and Rory saw Growley, they all shouted “SHARPTOOTH!” and ran off. Since Growley only spoke sharptooth, he had no idea what they were saying. “Man those leafeaters are natural cowards,” he chuckled.

The friends saw an opening into the ground. “Into those caves!” panicked Rita, and everyone nodded and quickly followed.  After taking a few deep breathes, Myra took a peek outside. “It’s still coming this way!” she said nervously.  Growley caught a glimpse of Myra’s eyes and laughed a little.  “Did they really think I wouldn’t be able to see them?” he thought to himself, and walked passed. It was about suppertime in the Great Valley, and he wanted his share of the prey anyway. “I’m not going to waste my appetite on a few small ones,” he commented.  Myra laughed. “See?! That sharptooth was too stupid to be able to find us!” “Be quiet!” Rita shushed.  “We’re not out of the Pine Cone arena yet. (Out of the ballpark.)  “We should see where these tunnels lead,” thought Rory. “Good idea, it might be too risky to head back up there,” added Greg. “So, let’s go!” Rita smiled. “I’ll lead,” said Myra. “No, I’LL lead,” replied Rita.

Back in the leafeater valley, Strut had walked off by himself leaving Ozzy behind, he wanted to have some time to himself.  “What these past couple of weeks have been,” he thought to himself. “Everyone here is either nice or extremely biased. Sure, I can speak both languages, and sure, there have been some mean sharpteeth, but geez, these dinosaurs can get on your nerves sometimes.”  Then, Mrs. Clubtail and Rory’s parents came up to Strut. Have you seen Rory and his friends anywhere?” Rory’s mother asked. “I know they headed up the sides of the walls, but they haven’t showed up since,” Mrs. Clubtail recalled. “Sorry, I haven’t” replied Strut.  “Thanks for everything thoug,” Rory’s father said. After they walked off, Strut sighed. “I just wish I could live in a place where people wouldn’t automatically judge me.” He said to the wind, although he secretly hoped someone heard.

BACK IN THE MYSTERIOUS BEYOND:

Rita, Rory, Myra, and Greg had reached the end of the Underground Caverns. “There’s the surface,” smiled Myra. However, since they were running and Growley was walking, they saw each other again. “RUN!!!!!!” yelled Myra.  Growley chuckled. “I bet if those flatteeth could talk they’d probably be telling each other to be stupid right now,” he laughed at the sight of the longneck, spiketail, and threehorns running from a sharptooth who wasn’t even chasing them. “Simply pathetic…”  he sighed. He looked up, and noticed the Bright Circle was going down. “Better get back or the herds will have eaten all of the food,” he said, and began running.  Greg looked behind them “Now it’s trying to kill us for sure!” he yelled. Rory saw some small gaps on the sides of the rock walls they were walking through. “In there!” he pointed. Myra and Rory got into one, while Rita and Greg got into the other. “That was so brave Rory,” Myra smiled relieved. “Oh, it was nothing,” Rory blushed back.

Rita still looked nervous. “Look, we gotta stop that sharptooth before he can hurt anyone,” she said. “But how?” asked Greg. “Look ahead,” Rita motioned with her neck. A short distance ahead was a big rock atop a cliff. “If we can hit it on the head with that we can kill it,” Rita strategized. “Think we can do that?” asked Rory. “It’s our best chance,” replied Rita. Myra pointed to a small stone path. “If we follow that we can get to the tops of these walls,” she said. Everyone nodded and preceded up the walls, trying to avoid having Growley see them, even though he didn’t care about what they were doing. They were just annoying him, if anything.  The gang got to the top of the wall. “Ok, stay off the bumpy paths, they might collapse,” cautioned Myra.  

Back in the valley, Icky and Dil met up with Julie, Rita’s mom. (In this reality, her parents never got killed like they did in the prologue.)   “This is getting ridiculous,” Julie said. “I’m sure they wouldn’t have been lost if you could’ve just had dinner ready faster,” Icky said to Dil. “Oh, you’re too small to do anything right,” Dil retorted.  “This is even more hopeless,” Julie sighed. No one  could figure out why this flyer and spiketail stayed together after all these cold times.  “You don’t think they ended up in the Mysterious Beyond, do you?” Icky asked. Dil and Julie gasped. “If a sharptooth hurt them I’ll…..” both mothers said in unison.  Say what you will about about Dil and Icky’s relationship, but Dil was as good a mother as Terri, Grandma Sharptooth, Cira, and Mama Flyer, she was devoted.

Myra, Greg, Rory, and Rita had made their way to the boulder. “We gotta just wait for that big, mean sharptooth,” Rita said, “And when I say “now” we push this rock over the edge, and knock him out.” “Got it,” Rory, Greg, and Myra replied. Growley, meanwhile, sniffed the air. “So those little ones won’t give up?” he said. “And I hear they think us sharpteeth are dumb.”  Growley, however, didn’t notice the giant round rock they were near.  “On the count of 3 guys..” Rita began. “1…….2……3…..NOW!” The leaf-eaters put all their strength into moving the boulder. “Come on, come on..” strained Rory. A few more pushes did the trick. The kids succeeded in knocking the rock off the cliff, but thankfully, it didn’t hit Growley on the head. It did however, graze him on the nose. He was furious now.

“WILL YOU DUMB KIDS JUST LEAVE ME  ALONE?!” Growley yelled loudly, which to the gang sounded like a MASSIVE roar.  “IT DIDN”T WORK!” shrieked Myra, “RUN! RUN AND DON”T LOOK BACK!” Rita yelled. After 5 non-stop minutes of running, the gang finnaly arrived back at the leafeater valley.  “Greg!” the spiketail heard his mother call.  He ran up and nuzzled her. Rita, Rory, and Myra did the same thing with their parents. The touching parental love was soon broken when Icky yelled “Where were all of you?!”  After the friends gave their answer, you can probably guess what their parents’ reactions were: No leaving the Valley for a month, no leaving their parents sight for two weeks, and no random snacks, only the 3 basic meals of the day. Rory could see Redfoot walk past. “At least someone’s in a good mood,” he said, noticing the big longneck’s smile.

MEANWHILE, AT THE GREAT VALLEY…

An angry Growley got back to the center of the Valley. “Gosh, what happened to you?” Papa Sharptooth asked him. He was eating a large spiketail with Chomper and Terri. “You won’t believe this Dein,” Growley replied. (As in deinonychus, even though they are t-rexes.)  “Some dumb, not to mention little, leafeaters dropped a rock on my sniffer. I hope it’s not broken or anything.” “You should go see Mr. Belly Dragger,” Chomper smiled. “He helped a lot when Petrie got hurt.” (For the next couple of chapters, Petrie is still in his state of dino-crippledness.)  “I’ll take that advice kid,” Growley smiled. “Here, I’m full, you can have the rest of my share of the prey,” Chomper offered.

Back at the leafeater valley, Mrs. Clubtail walked up to Redfoot. “What are you so happy about?” she asked. “I just figured it out,” Redfoot said. “Figured out what?” Mrs. C asked. “How to get rid of the sharpteeth once and for all.” Redfoot replied.

(There’s 18, read and review. I’m still open to suggestions.)

Next time, on the Land Before Time: Sharptooth Valley: While cleaning his family’s cave with his mother, Chomper is told by Terri the story of how her and Chomper’s father first met.
