Meanwhile back in the valley Cera was running around looking for her friends "PETRIE! DUCKY! SPIKE!" she screamed.

Zimba was sleeping in a cave,unaware his targets had left. A smile was on his face. He still planned to kill Littlefoot tonight...but he was not gonna be here...tear.

Everyone listened to Nahla's song, looking at her sadly.
"We're almost there," Taro announced, seeing a line of hills in the distance. Grandma and Grandpa were sure they had seen that before somewhere, but they didn't know it was this close to the Great Valley.

Littlefoot was fast asleep for the night,it was late and he was very young. He breathed softly signs of a peaceful sleep.

Nahla had also dozed off,she was youngest of the small herd. She curled up to try and keep herself warm in the cold night air.

The adults carried on walking towards the hills and climbed over them. Grandma and Grandpa gasped when they overlooked the land. This used to be their old home from many years ago.

Nahla shifted in her sleep shivering,she was freezing with hardly anything on her body to keep herself warm naturally.

Taro found some large treestars to cover the young ones for now as they ventured further. Every single sight brought old memories back to the old longnecks, both good and bad. They soon walked passed a canyon, and Grandma had to force her eyes shut, but the memory still came back to her. The sharptooth... the little one she couldn't save... falling down the steep wall... she just couldn't reach his motionless body...

"Hey, are you okay?" Taro asked, noticing that tears were flooding from the old female's eyes. She just nodded, and then looked at him. Everything, even the scar, was familiar to her, his reddish-brown eyes were softly watching her with concern.
"It's just... this place..." she sighed. Her mate nuzzled her gently, knowing exactly how she felt. This was the last place they saw their son before they lost him.
"Yeah... I hate it here too," Taro admitted. "Especially since-" he cut himself of, shaking his head, and smiled at the older longnecks. "Nevermind."

Another female longneck heard voices and raised her head wondering what awoke her. She saw some distant figures of 3 adult longnecks and what might be 3 little ones. Jenna closed her eyes thinking of HER little one "Oh Littlefoot,I'll find you again some day I promise" with that she went back to sleep planning to check out the newcomers when it lighter.

The others went away from the canyon and found somewhere to sleep. They soon found a spot that they knew well.
"We used to sleep here," said Grandma. "Many years ago now..." Taro stared at her.
"Really?" he asked. "That's funny. So did I, when I was a kid. Back when..."
"Back when what?" Grandpa asked curiously. Taro sighed in defeat and lay down, while Lily slid off him, snuggled next to him and closed her eyes.

"Can I tell you something?" Taro asked the old ones. They just nodded in reply. "I haven't spoken to anyone about this in a good while. It all started here, my birthplace. I had a great family, my parents, grandparents and my older sister, and every day I could just do anything I wanted. But soon that all changed... I was up by that big ditch back there, when a big sharptooth attacked me. That's where I got most of these scars from. My sister tried to save me, and eventually my parents came to fight off the sharptooth, but I couldn't move out of the way in time. My parents pushed the sharptooth into the big ditch but it's tail pulled me down with it and I fell part of the way down... When I woke up fast biters were there looking after me. They helped me recover, but then I also found out that my herd, including my family, had left. They must have been devastated. I haven't seen them since. They must have thought that I was dead..."

He looked down to the ground, not noticing Grandma and Grandpa's reaction to his story. Grandma's breathing was shaky and heavy, both of them were staring at Taro with utter disbelief.
"Oh... my... goodness..." Grandpa whispered. Taro looked up at them. He knew the faces were familiar but until now he had tried not to give it much thought. But now, as he stared into their faces... even though they had aged... he knew exactly who they were.

"...Mum? Dad...?"

(Dun, dun, DUUUUUUUUUN!!!

Littlefoot awoke from all the noise his eyes still blank "Grandma...where are we?" he whispered.

somerandomfangirl · **Reply #149 on:** April 08, 2013, 09:00:38 AM

"Home," she whispered, looking at Taro, completely overwhelmed. "He's home..." Taro ran up to the family and embraced them, tears of happiness falling down his face, before seeing Littlefoot.
"Is he..." he questioned, looking at his new-found parents. "Is he her son? Or did you-?"
"No," Grandma shook her head. "He's Jenna's." Taro beamed down at Littlefoot; he had a nephew, but then he realised that someone was missing.
"Where is she?" he asked. Nobody answered, instead looking down to the ground quietly. "No..."

Nahla · **Reply #150 on:** April 08, 2013, 05:02:24 PM

"Mother died...and it was my fault" Littlefoot whispered.

somerandomfangirl · **Reply #151 on:** April 08, 2013, 05:07:44 PM

"I'm sure it wasn't," said Taro, looking down at his nephew. "She was always a protective one, my sister..."
"Right until the end," Grandpa agreed. The two glanced at each other and smiled weakly.

Nahla · **Reply #152 on:** April 08, 2013, 05:17:36 PM

Littlefoot sobbed "But if I just stayed at home...the sharptooth would not of found me and mother would not of had to fight and then she would not of to die in front of me" he starting sobbing wildly,but not moving due to that....beep beep Zimba paralyzing him.

(there there wee Littlefoot,there there)

somerandomfangirl · **Reply #153 on:** April 08, 2013, 05:30:36 PM

Taro went over and lay next to Littlefoot. "You know, I felt the exact same way when... well... you know..." he glanced over to his parents who looked away in pain, and he sighed. "I also almost got one of my best friends killed once, I lead him right into a big sharptooth's nest... I don't think I would ever forgive myself for that. And your mother... she risked her own life to try and save mine... it was my fault that everything that happened on that day happened... and all because I was too curious."

Nahla · **Reply #154 on:** April 08, 2013, 05:39:22 PM

Littlefoot stopped sobbing "She was brave...like you are. Like when you protected be from Zim...Zim...Zimba. Thanks Uncle Taro I love you".

Taro chuckled and nuzzled Littlefoot. "Yes... she was a brave longneck, and I know just where that bravery comes from." He grinned at Grandma and Grandpa, who smiled back, looking extremely tired from the journey and the reunion.

Nahla · **Reply #156 on:** April 08, 2013, 05:51:02 PM

With that in mind Littlefoot fell back to sleep. However nothing could prepared him for what he would find out tomorrow.

(Next day now?)

somerandomfangirl · **Reply #157 on:** April 08, 2013, 06:04:03 PM

"I think you two should go to sleep, too," Taro suggested.
"Yeah..." said Grandma. She looked up at Taro. "It's good to have you back." She nuzzled him before resting her head.
"Likewise," said Taro. His father nodded and smiled at him before settling down next to his mate, still overwhelmed that he had found his son. Taro just wrapped his neck and tail around Lily, who was snoring softly, and managed to easily fall asleep for once.

(Okay next day now.

)

Zimba · **Reply #158 on:** April 08, 2013, 06:10:10 PM

[YAY!)

Meanwhile Zimba awoke with a jolt and realized it was morning,he didn't get to kill Littlefoot. "Fine,he can have one more day but tonight he dies". He had no clue that the longnecks had left.

Jenna also awoke and was starting to walk to the newcomers "Hello" she called as she got closer "My name is Jenna..." she stopped when she saw who was in front of her "Mum....dad?" she asked is disbeliefl.

somerandomfangirl · **Reply #159 on:** April 08, 2013, 06:18:17 PM

Grandma had just woken up and her eyes widened in total shock when she saw the longneck in front of her.
"Okay, now I must be having a sleep story," she whispered in disbelief.
