Enjoy!

Chapter 3: Over Joy of FunThe kids ran for a little then slowed to a walk as they lead their new friends Wayne, Malte, Evelyn, Jason and Chris to the place they all will play a game together and Littlefoot known which one be cool to play. “Any bright ideas of what game we play?” Cera asked Littlefoot as they approaching the area to play the game.
Littlefoot smiled turning to face Cera “Yeah I do, Hide and Seek” Cera stops for a moment.
“Not a chance if I am it again…” Cera told him straight in the face.
Chris came up between them “Why don’t I be the one that count?” both look at the Spiketail.
“Fine by me” Cera turn and walk on.
Littlefoot nod and walk behind Cera, Ducky on Spike then spoke to Chris “Wow that very kind Chris oh yes yes yes” Ducky was happy that was resolved in no time at all.
“Not at all a problem” Chris said giving a friendly smile
Malte heard from where he stood and holding to Wayne’s crest “Hide and seek? I think I will sit this one out”
Wayne then spoke as he kept watching where he was walking “Malte I know your not one for games like this but we have to make it believable right? That we kids like them and like playing during the day and stuff like having adventures” Evelyn nods from on top of Jason’s head
“Use your imagination Malte and you should of watched the other shows” Evelyn said without the ones in front hearing her.
Malte was about to yell at her but Jason spoke up “It best to keep a low profile and keep to our story guys so we’ll play along even we don’t like some of these things we doing now”
Malte turn his head to face ahead in the direction Wayne walking “I guess you put it that way I see the logic in that” Malte got ganged up on by three of his friends and couldn’t really win that fight and let it go even he not going to enjoy this.
The group of kids walk on away from the Thundering Falls into the open grass area heading towards a sent of trees and plant growth. Grandpa Longneck and Mr Threehorn watch the large group walk across to that location. “What is the chance of five kids all same kinds to our kids be friends as well?” Mr Threehorn seems to be quite suspicious of the new kids.
Grandpa Longneck sighed at what Mr Threehorn was saying “Mr Threehorn I am sure they became friends from what they told us all, their herd is a mixed one, ours are and we fine by our kids playing together, so their herd must be open as we are. Do you really want to upset their patients when the come to the Great Valley looking for their little ones?” Grandpa turns his head and bends it down looking at Mr Threehorn
Mr Threehorn shook his head “Of course not, that the last thing I would do.” He said back with a strong look at Grandpa Longneck. “But I still find them quite suspicious”
“They are only kids Mr Threehorn, how suspicious can kids be?” Mr Threehorn sighed at those words know Grandpa Longneck was right
“Your right Longneck… kids be kids” Mr Threehorn turn and leaves muttering under his breath.
Grandpa Longneck laughed watching Mr Threehorn muttering as he walk away then turn to the direction of the kids went “Yet something tells me there something about them that just don’t feel right. Maybe it me just seeing another set of kids other then our own friends in a mix” Grandpa laughed softly and head back the Thundering Falls.
Back with the kids they soon walking around some trees and coming to a semi clearing with bushes most around it with a set of downed trees over each other what left of them. “This is the place guys” Littlefoot turn around to Jason, Wayne, Chris, Malte and Evelyn mostly looking at them as he spoke. “We will stay in this forest area only to play hide and seek”
“Yeah if you go outside it your become one of the seekers and same when your found” Cera said after Littlefoot to them.
Malte cross his arms “We do know how hide and seek works”
“Just telling you encase you didn’t Swimmer” Cera said back to Malte
Malte frowns “It Malte”
“Whatever” Malte was about to have a go at her but Wayne coughed and Malte just turn away from Cera and jumped down ignoring her.
“Could we try to get along? We are new here and the hide and seek game could have been slightly different to the way we played it.” Cera smiled liking that she was back up on but then Wayne spoke on. “But…”
“But?” Cera spoke back to Wayne
Wayne then laughed a little “I forgot what I was going to say…” Wayne then turn away thinking about what he was going to say.
“Erm ok…” Cera blinked then turn to Jason and the others “Does Wayne forget what he was going to say?”
Jason twisted his left front foot a little in the dirt “Well not really, the words he might of about to say could of made things worse”
“So he just made out he forgot to not look stupid?” Cera questioned back to Jason
Littlefoot smiled at that “Something we all done. Remember on the island when we was scared and thought our friend was a big mean sharptooth?”
“Yeah yeah you got a point.” Cera turn to Wayne “Hey Wayne stop thinking about it and leave it be, lets just play”
Wayne turn around “Alright” Wayne nods
Evelyn flopped her wings down on Jason’s head from where she was on top “Jason good work you un-tensed the chain of tempers. Now maybe we can play this game and also try and figure what our next steps are”
“I hope we do. I know Wayne really getting uptight about all this even he not showing it” Jason gave his concern.
Malte walked up till he was by Jason’s front feet looking up at Jason “Wayne like us are dealing with it the best we can, lets just get this game done with please”
“Right lets get this game going, I will count to…” Chris thought what number he’d count to.
“20 Treestars is what we usually count to” Littlefoot said to Chris
Chris nods his Spiketail head once “Very well, 20 treestars it is” Chris turn to a tree and close his eyes starting to count. “1 Treestar… 2 Treestar…”
Ducky took Malte’s claw hand “Come on Malte we find a hiding place, oh yes yes yes” Ducky said in a cheerful tone to him ready to have some fun “Come on be cheerful”
Malte was being pulled along “I am being cheerful aren’t I?” Malte gave a smile but not a good one at best to Ducky
“You are not being cheerful. But I can get you to be.” Ducky pulled him along.
Malte went on with her even she still pulling him “Well I am” Malte said back and Ducky said straight after “Your not” then Malte said back “Yes I am”
Evelyn listened to them argue but in a non raised type like she and Malte gets into when talking about Land Before Time or about imagination. “Look like he found someone else to argue with” Evelyn shook her head a little he claws on her sides then start walking to find herself a place to find “Till I get some help from Petrie’s mum I’ll walk”
“Me can help you” Petrie said landing at the same time right in her face.
Evelyn jumped back landing on her back with a “Ahh!” then sits up “Petrie don’t land that close again”
“Me sorry” Petrie took her claw and helped Evelyn up on her feet. “Me only want to help you find good hiding place”
“That kind of you and I will accept it but don’t think I am just a girl that I will let you lead. I do things the way I think will work best” Evelyn said to Petrie with a smirk and one wing up a little one of the claws lifted a little shaking it side to side.
Petrie nods “Me do not mind, lets go” Petrie flap his wings and using his feet pick Evelyn up by her wings and flapped into the sky “me fly and you pick direction”
“That’s a good idea” Evelyn said in a kind tone as she aloud Petrie to help carry her in the sky since she weighed about the same as him so it wasn’t much trouble for Petrie and they leave to find their hiding place.
“Come on Spike lets go find our hiding place” Littlefoot spoke soon seeing some of them leave and Spike nods with a hum they heading off in another direction. “Any ideas for a hiding place?” Littlefoot asked Spike as they disappeared from the others view.
Jason, Cera and Wayne was standing there and hear Chris counting now reaching… “9 Treestars… 10 Treestars” Chris couldn’t help but lick his snout a little feeling a bit hunger from the counting. He did wish that he was a Rex but being a Spiketail he had those cravings for leaves and understanding why Spike loves to eat them a little bit since there wasn’t really any know how what Spike was thinking in Land Before Time.
Jason look to Wayne and Cera after he had took a glance over to Chris “I think we should split up and find our own hiding places that way he won’t find two of us at once” Jason whispers to the two Threehorns
“No sweat. I am way ahead of you Jason” Cera grinned turn and runs in her own direction then stop turning to face Jason “but nice plan though” Cera quickly said then runs off to find her hiding place.
“Well we better be going and Jason hope you find your prefect hiding spot fast” Wayne said with a cheeky smile as he starts to head off in his own direction.
Jason frowns “What is that suppose to mean Wayne?”
“Well I would say but are you forgetting about someone” Wayne said and runs off.
Jason looked a little lost “huh?” Jason then hears Chris counting “16 Treestars… 17 Treestars…” Jason gasped “uh oh… I forgot about Chris counting was nearly up, but I can still find a good place to hide” Jason said to himself as he dashes off quickly as his four legs can take him.
Just has Jason got away from the area Chris finished counting “20 Treestars… ready or not here I come” Chris open his eyes and took a glace around the area. “Better start here and work my way in” Chris whispers to himself and start his search for the others.
Wayne slow to a walk looking for a hiding place then thought as well ëwhat was he doing?’ “This isn’t right is it? Me playing and being a dinosaur… this is all crazy as it seems but Jason does has a point best to fit in so we can discuss the real important things in private without the others getting suspicious” Wayne said very quietly to himself and nod his head a little. “Now was…” he suddenly heard a buzzing noise and turn his head to it and saw a bee.
“Ahh!” Wayne screamed and ran from it but running with such fright he lose his footing and trip over his four feet tumbling around and around until the next thing he knew it he crash into a log head first with a thudding stop. “Ow…” Wayne moaned then pull his head back but he felt his crest spikes get caught in the inside wood of the log “Not good” Wayne tried to get free pulling and pulling even with his front feet press on the log rim he pulled but he wasn’t budging. “Great… first day as a Threehorn and got my head stuck in a tree truck nice going Wayne” he mutters under his breath thinking how to get out of this mess.
At the same time Petrie helped Evelyn into a tree for cover and both stood on a branch looking down to the ground. “Isn’t this a bit too obverse?” Evelyn said to Petrie peering over the edge
“It is?” Petrie looked a bit lost
“Yeah Flyers hiding in the trees would be the first place anyone would look for” Evelyn explained to Petrie
Petrie thought about it putting his claw under his beak then nods “Yeah you right, me should of knew that. Lets go to the ground and hide in the bushes”
Evelyn took another look to the ground “that bush over there would be a nice hiding place” Evelyn points to it and Petrie sees where she pointing at.
“Yeah!” Petrie then flap his wings grabbing Evelyn with his feet and glides down to the bushes both landing next to it and they walk in. “Me never thought this be good hiding place. Thank you Evelyn”
“Not all a problem” Evelyn smiled and sits back “Now we wait” Petrie sits down beside.
“Me was thinking… why you no fly so well when in sky?” Petrie questioned about her crashes after losing control in the air.
“Oh that well… you see… erm…” Evelyn was thinking of an imaginative story to make it believable to Petrie but Chris voice breaks it.
“I hear talking in these bushes, Evelyn, Petrie I can hear you and know your in there, come on out” Chris spoke out “Or do I have to munch my way in?”
Evelyn gets up “Ok ok you got us we coming out” Evelyn walks out of the bushes followed by Petrie.
“Me and you and our big beaks” Petrie moans and then Evelyn laughs and Petrie joins in.
Chris saw the joke in it as well and joins in laughing “I can see why that funny. You both spoke so loud that I found you and then got you to come out” he laughed but both stopped
“If you put it in your way of words it not” Evelyn frowns with both claws on her sides.
Petrie nods with his wings crossed a little “Yeah as she say”
Chris stop laughing then turn to his left “Lets go find the others” and he walks off after those words
“Know it all…” Evelyn mutters then walks on after him with Petrie beside her, he a bit surprised to hear a very clever Spiketail and kept it to his thoughts for now as they searched for the remembering group.
Jason quickly looked around for a hiding place after running for a little and almost leaving the forest “Right this is as far I can go… better find a good place to hide” Jason looked around and saw a few trees with bushes around the base of them. “That be a good hiding place” Jason quickly gets to it and walks into the bushes laying low in it.
But then he heard some rustling and Cera came through “Jason?”
“I guess you found this to be a good place to hide as well? Huh?” Jason laughed a little then moved a bit for Cera to lay low in it.
Cera turn to look at him “Yeah and quiet, what them to find us?” Cera whispers
“Ok I get it” Jason whispers back “demanding isn’t always the answer” Jason said quietly.
Cera frowns “Oh yeah and what do you know about me? Nothing so don’t say anything that you don’t know” Cera said back in a low tone and turn her head away.
Jason sighed “I had to find a place to hide that she was finding…” Jason mutters under his breath
“What was that?” Cera’s voice sounded annoyed
“Nothing…” Jason replied quickly
“Good” With the both lay there silent and Jason now experiencing in first hand what Cera was like and getting feeling what some of the others in the group felt sometimes, all he had was his thoughts and most likely Cera as well thinking about how annoying Jason was from his own thoughts in the silence of the hiding place.
At this time Littlefoot was trying to stop Spike from eating the hiding place “Now I know your hunger Spike but your eating our hiding place” Littlefoot said trying to stop his hunger friend from eating more of the hiding place. “Spike stop before…
“I find you?” Littlefoot turn to see Chris, Evelyn and Petrie
Littlefoot sighed and Spike just carries on eating “Look like we where and Spike still happily eating” Littlefoot then smiled seeing a funny side to it then look to them “So you two was found first?”
Petrie nods “Me and Evelyn talked to loud and he found us” Petrie replied to Littlefoot and Evelyn nods crossing her wings.
“Yes it was our own faults but that the game, get caught” Evelyn showed a bit of a smile “So that us and you two… which makes, Malte, Jason, Cera, Ducky and Wayne to be found”
“Yep that sounds about right” Chris spoke then look around “Which way do you think they’ll be?”
Littlefoot scanned the area “If I was to take a guess I say… this way” Littlefoot points his head towards the outskirts clearing.
“Fine by me” Evelyn responded and they head off in that direction with Spike behind them munching on the last of the leaves he could pick to keep up with the others.
Wayne still was struggling to get his head out of the log then gave one big pull he heard the wood crack and finally it broke he went flying over on his back sliding a little before coming to a resting stop just by two large four clawed feet with pink scales he looking up at a Threehorn looking back down at him.
“Are you alright?” She asked looking down at him still with a sweet smile.
Wayne reply “I think I’ll be” Wayne flipped around onto his four feet looking at the adult female Threehorn still. “I kind of got my head stuck in the log”
She looked over to it then back at him with a small laugh “At least your not now. May I ask how you got your head stuck in the log?”
“Well…I kind of have a fear of bees and usually run away from one without thinking and lost my footing” Wayne told her the truth knowing it wouldn’t harm him the least to tell the truth.
The pink Threehorn just calmly stood there and spoke “We all have our fears youngone. I notice your playing with Cera and her friends. Why don’t you go back and play before your missed”
Wayne forgot about that and replied quickly “Your right, thanks miss!” Wayne turn and runs off to find a hiding place.
She laughs again “He sure looked somewhat like Topys when he was young” she turns and leaves the area. “Come on Tricia”
Littlefoot suddenly saw some movement and turn to the others “I saw something over there” Littlefoot points his head in the direction he saw the movement.
Chris turn to Littlefoot “Alright you go check I think I saw something over here” Crhis replied looking around the large rocks.
Ducky and Malte was hiding behind one of them “Told you it was…” Ducky put her claw hand around Malte’s beak and put her over claw hand close to her beak one finger up next to it ëshh’ Malte was surprised by her swift movement and shutting him up and noticed the shadow just next to the rocks.
“Me saw Wayne” Petrie called out from where he was flying “He running over that way” Petrie was facing the same direction as Littlefoot was.
Evelyn turn to Chris “Come on lets get going, no one hiding by those rocks. Malte isn’t going to hide at a area like that” Evelyn climbed on Chris back
Chris turn and head in that direction “Alright lets go, at least we will be finding Wayne”
Ducky peaks over the corner of the rock and see Spike behind them all heading away and smiled “They did not find us, yes yes yes”
“murm ou met mo” a muttering voice came beside her and Ducky saw she still had her hand over his beak.
“Oh sorry” Ducky lets go
Malte rubbed his beak a little “It’s fine, you’d was sharp enough to do that or I would have blown our hiding spot. So I say Thank you” Malte gave a smile “That was some creative thinking hiding in a simply spot, I would have never thought of this”
Ducky smiled sitting down against the rocks “Maybe Wayne helped us out, I hearded them speak about seeing him running by”
Malte thought about that and frowns a little “That not like Wayne, he usually the best hider in our group, something must of happened to cause him to quickly run and hide before being found. Just our lucky day I guess” Malte sat down beside her and waited for now to be found.
Wayne turn his head a little as he ran and saw the others behind him “Great” Wayne try his hardest to run but like before he trips and tumbles into some bushes with a mighty crash.
“Ow!” Cera’s voice came followed by Jason “What just hit us?”
Littlefoot peaked his head through and saw Wayne, Cera and Jason piled out on each other, he just laughed at what he saw “Guess that one way finding you guys”
“Yeah thanks…” Cera mumbles “Wayne get off us!”
Jason managed to get free and laughed “That one way to get found, a dog pile” Wayne got off and Cera stood up looking at him then smiled and laughed
Wayne laughed as well “Not sure what dog pile means it was funny” Cera wasn’t anger much now then turn to Littlefoot “Who else been found?”
“Petrie, Evelyn and Spike.” Littlefoot spoke turning his head to the others coming up from around some of the large trees. “Guys Wayne, Cera and Jason been found”
Evelyn smiled “Wow it all going out of the woodworks now”
“Woodworks?” Petrie land on Chris next to Evelyn “me never heard of woodworks”
Evelyn put her claw on his shoulder “It means things coming out of wood like trees”
“Oh me get it” Petrie laughed.
Malte and Ducky soon arrived “I knew I heard laughing, see we was the last to be found” Malte said to Ducky as they came up to the others
“Oh yes yes yes, we won!” Ducky was very happy they all now gathered again.
Cera walked out of the bushes with Jason and Wayne “Yeah that right Ducky, you won. Good one” Cera just smiled.
“That’s mean I beat you” Malte points to Evelyn
“Oh yeah!” Evelyn jumps down and both now so close they was only a inch apart “Your just got lucky”
“Not a chance, a simple hiding place won it” Malte said back and both started arguing again.
“Here we go again” Jason just watched them both arguing trying to out do each other at the point of the game.
“You all friends right?” Cera was not even sure since this was another argument between the flyer and swimmer.
Wayne sighs “Yeah we are, but sometimes I wonder” Wayne turn to Chris
“Don’t look at me, I am not going to break them up. I might be bigger then them but when you try to stop them they usually tell me to ëshut up’ at the same time in quite the scariest way” Chris said to them backing up a bit not getting involved.
“Then prove you can swim just like I can’t fly so well. You haven’t been in a body of water forever!” Evelyn pokes him.
Malte frown gets lower “Fine I’ll prove it!” Malte turn to Ducky “I’ll give you a race in that water, from this side to the other” Malte points to a body of water that was in view.
Ducky look to the others “Should I?”
“I don’t see why not, it sounds like fun” Littlefoot didn’t see anything wrong with the idea of a race. “But I’m sure you’ll win”
“Yeah we routing for you Ducky” Cera backed up Ducky.
Petrie nods “Me think you can”
Jason lower his head to Malte “Your sure about this? You’d not even swam in that body” Jason whispers to Malte
“Yeah I’m sure enough to shut her up” Malte points to Evelyn, she having her wings crossed and head turn away then turn to him and stick her tongue out at him.
Jason raise his head “Ok Malte. Just don’t make a fuse out of it if you don’t do so well”
Malte let his arms drop a bit and spoke “I promise”
“Cool a race, Ducky vs Malte. Who do you think will win? Malte or Ducky? I guess Ducky always swam since there was water and Malte is quite good but he out of practice so to speak.” Chris spoke to Spike who listened to him then turn his eyes away from a second then nods with a hum. “You think they will draw?” Spike nods “Alright I take your word on that”
Wayne just choice to sit his hind side down and listen to all this “Somehow this don’t surprise me” Wayne wasn’t speaking to any of them directly and none seem to listen. “Yet that Evelyn and Malte… always trying to prove a point”
Cera came up beside him and sat “Do you speak to yourself like this?”
Wayne turn his head a little “I kind of speak my thoughts to get a rough idea what happening. Nothing wrong with that right?”
“Nah not at all. Come on lets get a good place on the embankment” Cera gets up and give him a little push. Wayne gets up and goes with her to the riverside.
Soon they all gathered by the waterside. Malte and Ducky stepped into the water, Ducky just got ready and Malte paused for a second feeling the water on his scales and being naked in a sense it was strange. “Malte are you ok?” Ducky saw him just standing there in the water where he got in.
Malte blinked and shook his head a little “Yes I’m fine” Ducky nods and Malte moved up to where she was.
“Are you two ready?” Jason spoke out
“Ducky, Malte, me and Jason will give this stone a whack soon it hits the water you start” Littlefoot continued to what Jason started with.
“The way this will work, there and back and who ever gets back first wins” Jason finished and both Swimmers nod.
Ducky got ready to swim and Malte looked at her for a second then ahead “What have I got myself into… racing against a Swimmer when I never swam in this body” Malte felt outclassed at this point. Since this was the first time he step into the water as a Swimmer whispering his worries.
”Now” Both Jason and Littlefoot hit the rock and it lands with a splash, in a second Ducky already jumps under and swims off. Malte on the other hand wasn’t sure what to do he push himself off and swims kicking his legs and routing his arms like he would do as human but it wasn’t working he was getting no where fast.
He could hear the cheering for Ducky and the backing from his friends, Malte heard those supporting cries and he wasn’t sure how Ducky moved then he saw how she did it when he went under and thought he try to do it but was harder then he thought it be. “She going to win” Malte was going to give up.
“Malte come on you idiot use your body, all of it!!!” Evelyn bellowed out at him from the sure line
Cera turn to Evelyn and Petrie almost falling off her “Wow for a flyer she can scream…”
“Me know” Petrie shakes his head a little feeling the affect of being so close to it.
Malte heard what she said then gave it a shot and a shot he got. Suddenly he was back into the race swimming like he never did before, swishing his tail and body left and right battering the water with his feet as well giving him some speed and Ducky just got to river side and heading back when she saw Malte come up by her then she saw him shot up and land on the shore line with a thud when she surfaced.
“Malte are you ok?” Ducky called out.
Malte sat up then turn with a rub at the back of his head “Ow that smarts” Malte then gets back into the water “We still got a race don’t we?”
Ducky smiled “Yes we do, we do” Ducky then moves on to race to the end Malte was behind her and she kept getting in his way then he somehow in a swift movement shift left to right both now racing to the end.
“Whoa look at them go!” Littlefoot stood up and so did the others all cheering for Ducky and Malte neither group caring now who would win.
“Thanks to me” Evelyn grinned
Wayne picks her up with his snout and lift her up a little to get a good view of the water “Surely you did with that voice of conference of yours” Wayne couldn’t help but laugh.
Chris watching them both splashing out and splashing in he couldn’t keep track “Who winning? I can’t keep track of them”
“Me no can tell” Petrie was lost tracking them.
Malte and Ducky leap out of the water and lands on top of Jason’s back forcing him to fall flat on his stomach legs spread out. “Urgh…” Jason was flat out from that landing. “What a landing…” Jason said with some dizziness.
“Did I win?” Malte lift his head swaying a bit and then his head just drops and his out cold.
Ducky slowly sat up shaking her head a little “I enjoyed that lets go again! Malte!” Ducky didn’t hear anything then turn to Malte “Malte?” she shakes him a little and hear him snore a little. “His asleep?”
“After that he would be” Jason slowly slid them off his back as he got up. “Malte is out of practice and doing that much swimming in one go must of tried him out” Jason just said not really thinking of what to say about it.
“Must be” Wayne saw Malte just sleeping there before him.
“Don’t he look cute” Evelyn said with wing claws closed against each other her head tilted a bit speaking out her words.
Everyone just laughed at what Evelyn said she joining in but soon gets cut short “Cera, Wayne it time to come home!” Mr Threehorn’s voice bellowed out.
Cera nudge Wayne “Come on lets go before we get in trouble”
Wayne look to the others they nod and he nod back then leaves with Cera “No need to nudge me with the horn, I would of moved without the help” Wayne said back to her.
“Whatever you say Wayne” Cera replied and they soon was gone the sky as well was getting dark at this point with the sun setting.
“Ducky, Spike, Malte, Chris!” Ducky and Spike’s mum called out
Chris gets Malte on his snout thanks from help from Ducky. “Laters guys” Chris spoke out as they all leave.
Petrie’s mum lands by the remaining group “It time to come home Petrie, Evelyn you can ride on me little one”
“Thank you miss” Evelyn climbs on her back and they soon have left as well leaving on Jason and Littlefoot left.
“Come on Jason I will show you the way” Jason nods and follow Littlefoot to his nest.
The five kids from the human world had their first day and it seem to be fun and full of surprise and now they head to the nests of their fellow kinds which was the very five dinosaurs of the Land Before Time. Settling in is the first thing they have to do to make it look like what they said in their story.
