Cyrix had a question that he just had to voice to the group of dinos..."If you don't mind my asking...Rick was it..." And just as Cyrix said his name Rick knew this question would be trouble..."Where are your parents, I mean surly a herd as small as yours couldn't get very far with no elders to provide protection."
'Oh crap...the one question I wasn't ready for!' muttered Rick to himself. Then it was Grandpa Longnecks turn to speak. "Yes, I was beginning to wonder the same thing myself...you all are far too young to be on your own."
Rick was trying to find a way to get out of this, and although he knew the question was directed at everyone in the GoF gang, he was the one Cyrix had asked first and his eyes settled on Longtail, sleeping next to his aunt Mim and he had his reason!
Rick trying his hardest not to crack a smile said in a saddened tone, "I..I ran away...from my folks....they were...wrong, let's just leave it at that." Cyrix and the two elderly Longnecks looked absolutely stunned at what Rick had just said.
