Tops looked and saw Goanna in the distance "Well he could be right... I see Goanna just over there, I think she seen us..." Tops said and saw her coming at them.

"Scatter!!!" Cera screamed out

'Let's go Spike" ducky said as she pushed on him to move"

Spike slowly starts to pick up speed in another direction.

Guan, Donna, Odon, and Spikefoot race in a different direction when Goanna starts to close in on the group. Strangely, like clockwork, the four spikethumbs bolt around a small series of sharp corners and disappear into some bushes, leaving Goanna to chase after the others.

Zila and Turio get on Tops "Go Tops!" Zila said

"Right I'm moving Zila" Tops bolts off with Cera behind him heading to the steping stones in the water both threehorns jumping on each with big leaps getting to the other side.

Goanna chases after the group of threehorns and swimmers and pauses when she reaches the water, watching the group try to get away on stepping stones. She could swim in after them, but remembers a third group that's not as fast. She turns in the other direction after Ducky, Spike, and Littlefoot.

"That was close" Cera said looking at Goanna leaving to go for the others

"Yeah tell me about it" Zila said

"I am glad father. this is a fun game" Turio smiled

"I agree" Tops nods.

The spikethumbs regroup at their nest to take a break.

"Who did Goanna go after?" Donna said after a breath.

"She may have gone after any group that has Spike with them," Guan answered.

"Perhaps," Odon added, "but even catching the slowest creature will never be easy, although Spike isn't the slowest."

Spikefoot lies down at the nest to take a rest. The others follow his example and sit together in silence.

----------

Goanna manages to catch up with Littlefoot's group and tags Spike's tail. "Goanna not it. Spike's it..."

Instead of running, the group chose to take a break, exhausted from all the running.

"Now I'm starting to feel as old as Uncle Odon," Goanna said after sitting down. "Well...when he was still old."

Littlefoot plops onto the group. "So when does that wish they made end?"

"I guess by tomorrow."

Littlefoot lifts his head up at Goanna. "You think your dad might disappear at that time?" He suddenly regrets saying that.

Goanna looks at Littlefoot for a moment, then sighs. "I...don't know..."

The group sits in silent thought while resting.

Tops and Cera find Odon and the others with Zila and riding on him. "Well looks like the game is a pause I seen the others resting" Zila spoke

"Well we all a bit caught out of breath now" Cera said breathing hard

"It was fun I must say" Tops chuckled.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #310 on:** May 15, 2005, 04:34:01 PM

"It was also tiring," Odon replied, "even for someone young."

Goanna looks up at Zila. "So when exactly do we leave for the Great Lake?"

Spikefoot also looks up. "The Great Lake? I heard stories about that place from Zila's herd."

Threehorn · **Reply #311 on:** May 15, 2005, 04:56:51 PM

"Tomorrow" Zila said looking at Spikefoot. "But I hope and wish you would be there tomorrow to come with us. That would be from the heart." Zila said

"Same here" Tops stood up "I also believe... for once in my heart you should have your life looking after the three, Guan, Goanna and Donna" Tops said scopping Zila up having him sit on his head. "Odon?" Tops and Zila looked at him.

Nick22 · **Reply #312 on:** May 16, 2005, 12:37:28 PM

"So Spikefoot is not coming with us?' ducky asked.

Threehorn · **Reply #313 on:** May 16, 2005, 12:40:11 PM

"Don't know but I hope he will" Zila said to Ducky

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #314 on:** May 16, 2005, 05:41:01 PM

(I guess everyone met up together later on. I accidently said Goanna instead of Donna.)

The spikethumbs went silent for a moment, each pondering with thoughts either similar or different to the others.

Odon finally found the words to speak. "That's for the Great Circle of Life to decide..."

The spikethumb children look on, Donna depressed with Guan and Goanna being able to hide their depression better. Spikefoot remains the most silent, depressed as well as confused.

Even Spike and Littlefoot were silent and unmoving, unsure of what to say (referring to Littlefoot, anyway

)

Threehorn · **Reply #315 on:** May 16, 2005, 05:46:29 PM

Time seemed to fly by during the day as the great circle started to lower from the sky but a star flew over Odon and his brother Spikefoot as the darkness creeped in showing a sign to them two that this star was like the other the day before.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #316 on:** May 16, 2005, 05:50:02 PM

Unknowing about the star, Odon and Spikefoot both made a silent wish, unaware of what might happen later on.

Guan looks up to the darkening sky. "The day is nearly over," he said. "You think some of us should head back home?"

Threehorn · **Reply #317 on:** May 16, 2005, 05:56:27 PM

"Yeah, goodnight you guys" Cera said

"Well lets go" Tops smirked "Well it been a fun day" Tops walks with Cera back to the nest.

Zila nods "Come on Turio, lets get some rest"

"Yes Father" Turio smiles as they head off.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #318 on:** May 17, 2005, 06:33:33 PM

Spike yawns and gently nudges Ducky in the direction of home.

Littlefoot watches the others leave and then hears his name being called by his grandparents. "I have to get to bed, too. See you all in the morning." He then turns and runs home, leaving the spikethumbs alone to sleep for the night.

Threehorn · **Reply #319 on:** May 17, 2005, 06:36:29 PM

The next day came and Tops woken up he looked at the sky then looked at himself in a near by water hole.
