"Just stay there until you get better, because you'll get better if you stay there," Ruby said.

"'Kay", was all Littlefoot said. He knew he'd be all right now, but his body was still so weak from lack of air that he didn't want to move or even talk much. But he had to ask. "Who- (he started having a mild coughing fit, but it soon stoppped) helped me get out of there?"

PS:
'Kay is an abbreviation that characters say sometimes when they aren't in the mood to say the entire word "okay."

"Let me see...so a wood chuck cannot chuck wood because a wood could not chuck wood even if he could, so therefore, a wood chuck would not wood chuck wood." Grandpa Longneck decided to add some confusion to the poor little dinos brains.

"Mud brother! You okay now?" was the response Littlefoot got. "Mo!?" he exclaimed in shock. "When did you? Why are you? How were you able?" he paused, then gathered his thoughts, "I'm so glad you're here. You've saved me from drowning twice now! Thank you Mo. But you're in the Great Valley again! What's your story this time?"

"Nuts!" Cera exclaimed as she saw Mo staring at her with his big, wide eyes.
"Peanuts?" Mo asked. Cera had that "WTH?" expression on her face.

Opening his long mouth to speak, Mo replied, "Remember great, big rock you help Mo jump over to get Mo home, "Yittlefoot"? Well, Mo was swimming around and noticed it gone! Musta been earthshake that move it. It no come back, ever never! So, Mo thought he say hi to all his mud brothers. But when Mo saw you, "Yittlefoot", Mo thought it best to say hi after you okay, so Mo help you get that way. Now Mo ready. Hi mud brothers!"

"Pleased to see you again Mo.  You came just in time." Littlefoot said.  Still feeling a bit weak but feeling better not what  his lungs were clear and he could rest and breath normal again.  He smiled as he continued to look at Mo, happy to see him again since their last visit together.

"Question for mud brothers," Mo announced. "Everything fine now, so you want hear Mo sing again? Mo learn great new song. Even longer than one Mo sang that flying bugs like so much," but even though nobody had had a chance to respond to his question yet, Mo was already starting to open his mouth wide to start singing since he was sure they'd like it. Although that wasn't really the feeling from anyone besides Ruby, Chomper, and Ecco, since they had never heard him do this before. But the gang of five remember all too well what it is like to hear Mo "sing."

"Really, you don't have to sing Mo," Cera said, trying her best to cover her ears

"Surely you are still tired from saving Littlefoot. You should rest now. You should. You should," Ducky said politely without mentioning the main reason that she was saying so right now. Although, it became pretty obvious after Ducky began doing the same thing as Cera. After seeing that, even the oblivious three understood now.

Then a large amount of sweet bubbles and a buzzer hive fell from a tree. "Yummy," Chomper smiled at the buzzers, while the others looked at the sweet bubbles hungrily.

United, those that could run or fly bolted (except Littlefoot, who just tried walking fast) towards the treats now before them, leaving Mo in the water. They all actually had better manners than to tackle their food, but Mo didn't know that. He just thought, "Mud brothers very hungry. Mo sing later." Of course, that is exactly what their frantic scramble was supposed to make him think. They were too polite to say "We'd rather not hear you break into song," so acting savagely hungry would give them an excuse to get out of having to listen but without hurting Mo's feelings.

Very much so, they began eating the treats.  "Anyone want to try a buzzer?" Chomper asked his friends, trying to be polite

With all the thoughtfulness he had, Littlefoot kindly responded, "Thank you for the kind offer. I know there aren't nearly as many buzzers here as there are in the Mysterious Beyond, so it is VERY generous of you to offer them to us. But we all have more food than we need, so you had better eat up. One good thing a sharptooth needs is his strength." He then smiled warmly at his little buddy. He has been, is, and always will be, he believes, Chomper's dear friend. But he also never has been, isn't, and never will be, he believes, a fan of eating buzzers.

"xylophagous  spike tails are over there," noticed Petrie. (It's a real word, look it up.)

Then, much to everyone's surprise, Ducky, Ruby, and Spike said  (Well, Spike made a motion suggesting) "We'll try buzzers Chomper," said Ruby

"You're serious?" Littlefoot asked as his mouth dropped open. He wanted Chomper to be as happy as possible too, but, eating a buzzer? He would rather have his grandmother wash his face three times a day then eat a creature, dead or not. He thought he had settled this a moment ago, but Ducky, Spike, and especially Ruby just seem to be going a little too far with this. But then he sighed. "You can't go too far out of your way for a friend," he thought to himself. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Actually, I am a bit curious why you really like them so much. So, could I try just one of them too, please?" he asked meekly.

"Zzz....."went a nearby sleeping leafeater.

"Sure Littlefoot, here you guys go," Chomper smiled friendly, handing one to each of his friends who asked

After looking at the buzzer that Chomper had crushed slightly, Littlefoot's face turned a slight shade of green, and at that moment he would have given anything to have not eaten those sweet bubbles a little bit ago. He had hoped Chomper would be eating too, looking at Ruby, or talking to someone. Unfortunately, as he looked up, Chomper was doing the one thing Littlefoot had hoped he would not be doing- Chomper was looking right at him, and with that innocent smile too. Littlefoot tried smiling back, nauseous as he was, then decided the longer he stared at his "snack", the longer it would be before it was gone. Feeling a sudden rush, he couldn't stand this any longer and popped the whole buzzer into his mouth and started to chew it.

But the surprising part of this was....Littlefoot, Ducky, Ruby, and Spike liked it!

"So whatcha think guys?" asked Chomper
