"I'm in," Tyra smiled. "I mean, I'm doing whatever Kai does."

Tyra walked over to Kai. "You know, I saw a little waterhole that looks quite pretty," she told, "Want to go there with me later?"

Kai smiled.
"Of course, Tyra.  I'd be happy to go...anywhere, if you're with me..."
He said to her in sharptooth, nuzzling her face gently...

"Well, since we'll probably have some time to rest tonight, we'll go maybe when the Bright Circle goes down," Tyra commented, giving Kai a kiss. "That sound good?"

Kai smiled, returning the kiss.
"It sounds wonderful, Tyra.  I can't wait."
Kai said, his eyes locked with hers...

Longtail's eyes suddenly held a hint of grim determination as he then said aloud to Trya:
"No...we need to go now. I'm sorry guys, but if Pearls mother says it's urgent then we need to go as soon as we can!"

Gem smiled.
"We have plenty of time young one. You can relax if you feel like you need to."

Longtail didn't respond, but only nodded his head as he then sat himself down on the floor and sighed. 'I need to learn to relax, but I can't....not here...not now...not ever!' thought Longtail to himself.

"Are you ok, do you feel sick or something?" Veli asked, flying over concerned about his friend

Longtail sighed again as he faced Veli.
"I-I don't know what to think...I'm tired, confused, and...yeah sick to my belly would be about right." He then stood up and ran out of the cave and intot he trees where he lost what little was left in his stomach.

Pearl sighed.
"I guess being back home is a little more upsetting then I thought."

Gem only nodded in response and looked to the other children. "So, what do you think of our home so far?"

"It's ok," Chomper smiled. "Not much to eat though." Chomper quickly saw Diamond looked panicked. "Don't worry, we'll only eat cralwers and buzzers while we're here." he assured. "Unless of course there's someone you know who you wouldn't mind seeing eaten," he joked

Gem laughed at Chompers joke as she said:
"Oh, don't worry if you are hungry Pearl and I can take you all to Crawler Cave...it has so many crawlers taht I don't think an entire herd of fully grown sharpteeth could finish them all!"\

Pearl smiled at her mothers idea.
"Great Ieda mom!" She then noticed Longtail hadn't come back yet. "I'm going to check on Longtail." She stepped outside and noticed he was sitting against a tree. She walked over and asked "Are you okay?"

Longtail looked up and shook his head, as he began to cry.

Chomper, Rita, and Tyra saw that Longtail was crying. "Longtail, what's upsetting you?" Tyra asked. Chomper hated seeing his friends angry or sad

Cayso and Racnar got closer to Longtail too - "We are here to help you, even if you want to do this alone, you must know we will be here for you." - Cayso said with a calm voice - "That is what friends do." - Racnar added with a smile.

Longtail continued crying, but as he went to respond to his friends, he realized he was trembling.
"I-I'm...scared...afraid. I-I want...to learn about m-my past, but...I just don't know. I...I want to be stronger, braver...but...this place...it's my home, and....I'm afraid...this will be...where I die."

Pearl immediately ran over to Longtail and gave held him close to her in a rather tight hug.h
"Longtail...I can promise you, that as long as you and your friends are here...I won't let anything happen to you...I promise!"

"Don't let the fear for death stops you, believe me, I know about that." - Racnar said to Longtail.
"We are not going anywhere Longtail, and we won't let anything bad happen to you. Knowing the truth is better and we'll all make sure you'll get to know what you are meant to know, without sacrifices." - Cayso added.

"Yeah Longtail, we came here with a purpose, and we're not going to die or let you down," Chomper smiled

Longtail gave a loud sniffle and said,  "I-its not...death, I'm afraid of. I'm afraid...of dying...here..on this island. I know...you will all...t-try to keep...me safe...but I know...I just...k-know...this day is going to change..so much...for all of us."

Pearl now feeling upset at seeing her friend and idle so scared and afraid she simply held him close and kissed him, blushing the whole time.

Kai came out. "Trust me Longtail, I've had fear of dieing before, i know what it feels like. Don't let it consume you," he said.

Cayso smiled - "Just take a minute to relax Longtail, you'll get through this."
Racnar didn't show any emotion, he just stared at Longtail and after he heard what Kai said, he lowered his head and said very low, for himself - "...death." - He stood up, and walked towards some trees, and looked into the sky.

Pearl stopped kissing Longtail as she nodded her head to what Kia said.
"He's right...you don't have to be afraid of anything. And you should listen to Cayso just relax." When Longtail didn't answer her she turned and asked, "Mom...can you help him?"

Dante was concerned for his friend...but something told him to wait and see what would happen.

Gem walked over to Longtail and held his trembling head for a moment forcing him to look her in the eyes.
"You are stronger than this little one. You know you are, you just have to believe it. I want you to close your eyes...take several deep breaths and search your heart until you find the strength you need to continue."

Although his body was still shaking and tears continued to flow from his eyes Longtail did as he was told and closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. After several quiet moments Longtail tried to stand, but Pearl held him up.

"Longtail...are you okay?" asked Pearl with true concern in her voice.

Longtail still didn't answer her question, but as he opened his eyes she could see his fear was replaced with something. She didn't know what it was...but it was a definite change for him, and she in return blushed as she kissed him again.

"See Longtail I knew you could do it!" said Dante with a smile as he patted his friend on the back.
