a Time of Tragedy

Mr Threehorn arrived and look to them "What going on here? I was heading to the meeting place and heard my daughter yelling out something that I believe Cera has a point." he look to the Longneck with a serious voice.

"Well you see Daddy I was..." Cera then see her dad step up

"I heard everything you said Cera, and it hard to..." Topys cut himself short feeling the grith of losing his mate and Cera's sisters then continues "I well... dromatic event such as losing love ones shouldn't be push to making a choice right away... so she part of your herd but isn't it best she has at least one night to come to terms of it and... well not be pushed into something so fast and in a hurry" the old one arrives hearing Topys speak as she heard Cera yelled as well. "So maybe Cera got a point... I know how it is feels to lose someone important in events that so hard to forget... it be best to try and come with terms and a night to themselves could help... come to terms..." Topys voice softened then he try to hide his tears as some fell

"Daddy..." Cera never saw her father like this before other then the other strange way when Tria first came, but this being different and on Cera's side defending a young longnecks feelings something he never did before.

"How you feel if you was rushed into finding a family and had no time to come over a very terrible event... you would like to space it out... couldn't you well... spend a little more longer the usually here in the Great Valley till Ali sorts herself out?" Topys suggested alittle swallowing after saying his words. "But try not to be stubborn of trodisations... like I done and now kind of regret I push so hard on it..." Topys look to Cera seeing a few tears fall from his eyes.

"Daddy..." Cera repeated not able to say much else to discribe what she was seeing

Just then the young flyer called Longtail glided down towards the meeting place, and almost immediatly could tell something wasn't right. He then noticed Littlefoot and Rhett and decided to find out what was wrong.

Longtail landed next to Littlefoot, looked up to him and asked "What's wrong here...why is everyone so sad?"

"Well everyone is so sad is because that little longneck's mom just died" Rhett whispered to the young flyer looking over at Ali. Rhett liked Cera's idea a whole lot cause maybe then she could stay in the great valley. But he knew that would never work out. Rhett would be heartbroken if she had to leave. For the first time in a really long time Rhett was actually crying. Everything felt so mixed up to Rhett. He wanted Ali to be happy but he wanted himself to be happy too. He wanted to help her and keep her safe in the Great Valley. He didn't know ecatly how to do that but he'd give anything to not let Ali go away forever.

'We are simplying trying to fulfill her mother's wishes. We will be leaving in a week, and we'd like to have her adopted before we leave.. I understand your emotion sir" The Longneck replied. "Ali's a kind , sweet girl, whatever family ends up getting her will be much richer for it..
"She will have plenty of time to mourn . Mr. Threhorn' the Old One said, coming up to him. "Once she is adopted, she is to spend the first few days with her new family quietly.."

Threehorn · **Reply #223 on:** July 13, 2007, 05:48:51 PM

"Very well... but can i make one suggestion? I know this sounds odd coming from someone like me... how about spending the first time with Littlefoot's family if they agree" Topys turn to the old one and spoke with a respective tone.

Cera looked to Ali and back to her dad not sure what to say still but prude of her dad "Wow... Daddy amazing"

Longtails eyes widened in shock as he said "Ali's mother is...is..."

The flyer couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence, his body suddenly became stiff, and he began to visibly shake, and what was one tear became many as flashbacks of his own mothers demise rang like a bell in his mind. Longtail then looked up to Rhett and said:

"What can we do to help her?"

Threehorn · **Reply #225 on:** July 13, 2007, 07:42:50 PM

Swifty went to the meeting place keeping low and out of sight in the bushes watching what was going on his sister was keeping a eye on Ali. Swifty look to where he and Leafty came from "Mother not sent anyone that means they got the longneck holding out." Swifty whispers and watch on.

Rhett shrugged his shoulders not really knowing if there was anything they could do aside from let Ali grieve.

Shorty walked over to Rhett he could see Rhett was really upset about this." Rhett, don't worry it's all going to be ok".

Rhett turned his back on Shorty. "Ok?Ok? One of my best friends mom just dies and you tell me everything will be ok? Look Shorty it's real nice that you're trying to be optimistic. But it's not ok and it never will be. Ali is way to good of a friend for something like this to happen to her. Ali deserves so much better then this. And now she has a possibility of moving away so that I'll never be able to see her again. Look Shorty maybe you don't understand............." Rhett started.

"But I do understand" Shorty protested.

"If you did please all that I ask is that you leave me alone for a while. This is a very upsetting time for me and Ali. I just need some time alone I'm sorry" Rhett said walking off in tears.

Longtail nodded at what Rhett said...then turned to Shorty and quietly said "I know what it's like to lose someone you love....I just really wise there was anything I could do...but maybe Rhett is right...I think I need to be alone now too."

And with that Longtail walked away to find his special place to sit and think...

Swifty notice Longtail moving towards his direction and he choose to move and quickly hid somewhere else before anyone notice any movement "There alot of pain... wish I could help, but they might mistaken me for a fast biter then a fast runner... why do everyone make that common mistake with our kind?" Swifty whispers and he watches doing as he asked keeping his distance and out of sight and low so Chomper couldn't smell him near by knowing how well sharpteeth sniffers work.

Leafty watch the sence with the Old one and Topys speaking "I thought Threehorns was so stubborn that they back chat but this one trying to reason with the Old longneck that they call Old one. I hope she accepts that deal. It give the others time to help the injured one" Leafty whispers as she kept low and out of sight as she watched what was unfolding before her.

As Longtail continued to walk, his nose picked up a faint scent, a really faint scent...but it was there and it caught his intrest...and he wanted to see what it was so he decided to follow it into the nearby bushes to see what it was... 'It smells like a fast runner...but diffrent...I really hope I know what I'm doing'

'Wait, I must be crazy! I may not know what this is, but if it turns out to be a sharptooth, then I could just be walking into a trap...oh it dosen't matter....I have the scent and I'm gonna follow it, no matter what!' cried Longtail to himself as he picked up his pace heading towards the smell....

"Yeah I wish that we could......."Chomper started but then he smelled something. Chomper could actually tell the smell between the others. But this was a new spell. Like from a dinosaur he had never met before. It smelled sort of like a fast runner. He walked over to the same bushes Swifty was hiding in by following the scent and sniffed around the bushes.

Threehorn · **Reply #231 on:** July 14, 2007, 10:43:59 AM

Swifty gulped "me and my big mouth" Swifty quickly move out of his hidding place and using his speed and quiet stepping he managed to hide behind a tree not to far and watch them move to the bushes he about to move then felt he couldn't move his foot and look down to see his foot in a hole by the tree "Not good" he whispers and try to pull his foot free "Come on... come on" he whispers then see movement by the bushes both he saw Chomper and Longtail around them then he went back to try and free his foot from the hole.

Leafty came up to see how her brother doing and saw him stuck and two dinosaurs not far she quickly got to him quietly "They better smellers aren't they?"

"Yeah I noticed, Could you get my foot out it stuck" Leafty start digging the dirt out around his foot quick as she can with her hand claws.

(A little about the Fast Runners... They greenish in scale colour with three toed clawed feet legs reverse and skinny almost like a Rainbow Face. They have two fingers and one thumb with their faces kind of narrow and snout almost angeled simliar to a fast biter but they have flat teeth like the leaf eaters and as they are called they very fast on their feet and quiet as well. they usually mistaken as fast biters because in the distance the snout appearances look almost a like to them and the unusally smell also to help confuse Sharpteeth specailly the fast biters sense of smell so they not sure if they are sharpteeth or not to keep those types away from the main fast runner herd living in the grass lands with a small patch of forest near the outside of the Great Valley for the reason that the leaf eaters in the Great Valley always have mistaken them as Fast Biters.)

"Littlefoot's grandparents have not mentioned anything to me as of yet about adopting her..currently we have 4 longneck families interested in giving her a chance to spend a day with them and get to know them a little.." The Old One replied. "If his grabndparents to adopt her, they must contact me and make thier intentions known..and time is short, we will be leaving at the end of the week, unless another family jumps in at the last minute, in which case we will stay another day"

Threehorn · **Reply #233 on:** July 14, 2007, 01:35:05 PM

Cera turn around to see Grandpa and Grandma longneck coming in their direction "Maybe you spoke too soon" Cera mutters seeing the two elder longnecks come up.

Topys looked "Why am I not suprised they turned up, most likely heard Cera yelling... hope they didn't see what I was saying and acting a moment ago" Topys whispers to himself.

Nick22 · **Reply #234 on:** July 14, 2007, 01:39:43 PM

What is going on here?" Grandpa asked. "We heard yelling? Was that you Cera?' he looked at Cera keenly..

Threehorn · **Reply #235 on:** July 14, 2007, 01:50:08 PM

"Well... yeah it was me... I was saying that Ali needs space and stuff... over her lose..." Cera said shly not sure if they would even think about taking on the job to look after Ali . "she a good friend and I want to try and help her out in any way possible..."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #236 on:** July 15, 2007, 03:55:57 AM

OOC: just as a warning my character has never met Chomper so this upcoming confrontation is going to be a surprise for Longtail....

~~~

As Longtail continued to sniff around for the source of the new sent...his head came into contact with something hard, with enough force to knock him back onto the ground...and his only reply to this could only be..."ow"

But as Longtial looked up to see what had hit him, his body stiffined, and he almost couldn't believe what he was seeing....almost, but then again this wasn't any thing new...but still he was definatly stunned...as his next question stated:

"Who are you?"

Threehorn · **Reply #237 on:** July 15, 2007, 09:16:11 AM

Leafty stops for a second and look around the tree seeing the stunned look on the flyer "Good, if they keep talking I can get your foot out of this hole in no time" Leafty whispers and go back to digging her brothers foot out.

"Just hurry, they might finish talking sooner and come this way if they get our scent" Swifty whispers back taking another look then back to his sister as she dig out the dirt around his foot fast as she can.

"My name's Chomper but don't worry I'm real friendly." Chomper sniffs. "Wait a minute I smell something over there. "Chomper said following the scent to the fast runners.

Threehorn · **Reply #239 on:** July 15, 2007, 07:11:16 PM

Leafty took another glance "uh oh..." Leafty started digging fast as she can and get most of the dirt out. "Try to get your foot free"

Swifty pulled trying to get out "I'm trying" He groaned now in a bit of a panic. Leafty then helps trying to pull hin free praying in her heart that they don't come their way.
