Alphabet Land Before Time Story

Eventually, a few a few moments to think about what to, Chomper came up with an idea. He went in front of the rest of the meat eaters and began his pentomine.

He was acting out relaxing in a mud pool, which he did by sitting down and moving his arms like he was relaxed. "Um...swimming!" Rita guessed. Chomper nodded no. Soon, Redclaw figured it out. "That's right uncle!" Chomper smiled.

The game went on, and the Bright Circle was eventually almost down. Cera would be the last player to go for the day, and this would decided the winner. If her team couldn't guess, they lost. She was acting out pushing a log, but her team couldn't figure out the log part.

"Come on, I know you guys can figure it out" Cera thought nervously, but then Terri looked out. The Bright Circle had went down! "I guess he sharpteeth win then," Littlefoot smiled

Furious that they had lost, Cera marched right up to them. "How could you not figure it out? It was so easy!" she yelled at them.

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #162 on:** January 02, 2009, 01:25:10 PM

Getting mad at them, she suddenly realized, wouldn't help her situation. Before the others could respond to her, she said, "Never mind. Just forget it," and she turned around.
Feeling foolish for accepting the wager, but knowing she had to fulfill it, she walked up do Dein for instructions. He looked down at her and roared softly. Chomper ran over and replied, "He says you should go help pick up the unedible pieces of the colored danglers."
Now Cera was angry. "He wants me to help clean up our food and his too!?"
"No," Chomper replied. "He says you only need to help with your guys' mess."
"What about the-"
Chomper smiled. "My dad said he made that wager because he thought it would look funny to see a leaf eater cleaning up a leaf eater. But when he thought of it the other way around, he realized that it wouldn't be funny at all, but actually a very miserable experience for someone your age. So he said you don't have to help him anymore."
Dein looked down at Cera who glanced back up. Dein actually felt bad for what he had suggested earlier and it showed. He then turned around, and began to march toward his family to help them clean up the big longneck mess.

"Hey, that good thing for Cera," Petrie smiled, cleaning up the danglers. Cera had forgiven Chomper's father, and vice-versa.

One tiny problem was something Terri just remembered, "The flying sharptooth I told you about is gone.." she began to say, and when Chomper translated, everyone gasped, but Terri quickly concluded, "But I know he'll be back in two days, so you're stuck here at least that long I'm afraid," Terri said

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #164 on:** January 02, 2009, 08:53:40 PM

In two days, their parents will be in a frenzie! They hoped Ecco was doing all right...

**********

"Where are they!?" Cera's Dad bellowed to Ecco.
"They, uh, needed to enjoy more quality time together. Chomper is definately getting older and they felt that they should all be with him for a while to celebrate that. They were planning on one day originally, but they're going to do it a bit longer now. They aren't in any danger with big, strong grownups around, right? So don't worry, and when I hear from them, I'll tell you what they're up to," Ecco explained, truthfully.
"WHY WON'T WE HEAR FROM THEM!?" Cera's dad yelled, loudly and fiercely.
"That is why," Ecco answered.
Cera's dad gave Ecco a nasty look.

tempestwheel · **Reply #165 on:** January 02, 2009, 08:57:25 PM

Just then, it happened. Topsy's anger towards Ecco was disrupted when a weird buzzing sound could be heard. "Oh no...." said Grandpa Longneck who was nearby.

"SWARMING LEAF GOBBLERS!" The plants and leaves of the valley never stood a chance....

~~~~~~~

"So where do you guys want to sleep?" Chomper asked, getting a little sleepy.

Kole, the green sharptooth, was still dead.

(Had to do "k" again!)

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #166 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:18:40 PM

Looking at Chomper, Rita replied, "With you!"
Chomper laughed. "I knew where YOU wanted to sleep, Rita," he said with a huge grin. "But as for the rest of you, you're still welcome to sleep with us, if you don't mind the 'sky water'," he said, looking at Cera who scowled at him, then continued, "If not, there is always the Little Cavern. You can probably guess it isn't very big, but it will easily hold all of you with some room left, is warmer than being outside, completely dry, has a soft, comfortable ground, and it still has a beautiful view of the sky. With all the stars, the view is the best at night. It won't bother any of us if you six want to spend time together, so please, do what you want to do."
They thought for minute. "I still want to stay with you, staying with you is what I want," Ruby replied smiling.
"We do t-" Cera cut Littlefoot off. "Could you excuse us a moment?" nudging Littlefoot away. "I know the sharpteeth here are nice and all, and I do like them, but we do need time to ourselves once in a while," she explained. "Let's go to this "Little Cavern" tonight."
"Fine," Littlefoot sighed. "I'll tell Chomper we want to try his new place."

tempestwheel · **Reply #167 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:23:41 PM

Maybe 25 seconds later, Littlefoot caught up to Chomper. "I guess we want to check out this "Little Cavern," the longneck smiled to the sharptooth. "I'll show you where it is," Chomper replied.

Chomper led the way for Petrie, Cera, Littlefoot, Spike, and Ducky to the Little Cavern. When they got thier, it matched Chomper's descritption, but it was still big enough for the Five of them. "It nice," Petrie commented.

Meanwhile, all the green food in the valley was gone

Amaranthine · **Reply #168 on:** January 02, 2009, 11:01:31 PM

"Nevermind." Grandpa Longneck said, "We can just find another place to eat and drink and be merry." And Grandma Longneck replied, "And be scary!"

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #169 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:41:43 AM

Opening his loud mouth, Topsy complained angrily, "How can you be so happy about this happening, longnecks?"
"Please Mr. Three Horn, we aren't "happy" about this. We are just trying to remain positive in this crisis," Grandpa longneck explained.
"There is nothing to be positive about!" he yelled. "Our home has been cleaned out again. There is nothing we can do." And many others residents began mumbling their agreement.
The old longneck smiled inside from how Mr. Three Horn's words had just trapped him, but he kept a serious expression on the outside and said, "Please everyone! As Mr. Three Horn has just mentioned, our valley has been set back again. So since this has happened once before, we shall simply do as last time and go back to the lush field by the Big Water which can easily keep us sustained," Grandpa Longneck explained. Now everyone, including Mr. Three Horn, had to agree, and they decided to get ready and leave soon.
Ecco heard it all and had a plan.
A little over two hours later, after they had been searching and calling for the children, and still not finding them, they had begun looking for Ecco. Ecco had hid from their sight for a while after their departure plans, because his plan would only work if he was not questioned until a while afterward. Now ready, he casually walked by and was soon stopped by Littlefoot's grandfather and grandmother both. "Please tell me you know where are they are now," he asked hopefully.
"Or course. It hasn't been THAT long since I saw them last."
"Wonderful," the grandparents thought, relieved. "Where are they now? We need to get going," Grandma Longneck asked.
"They wanted to have an adventure again," he said, sighing loudly, then continued, "So they decided to leave a while ago, heading toward the Big Water on their own. They will meet up with you somewhere around there eventually, I'm sure," Ecco said cooly, once again speaking the truth but hiding the meaning.
"Why didn't they let us know?" they asked, very worried about them.
"There was no need for them to with me around to tell you. It just took me a little while to say, that's all," Ecco replied.
"Well, getting upset won't make things any better. Let's tell the others about this and head out to meet the children," Grandpa Longneck said. They told the others who were scared, except Topsy, who was furious, especially at Ecco, and they all set out for the haven by the Big Water, with Ecco following close by.
"They are going to be paying me back for days now, after we meet up. This much hidden talking has made my head hurt," Ecco said sorely.

Presently, on the island, everyone was sleeping peacefully. Ruby was avoiding sleeping right by Terri's jaw to avoid the....er, sky water. A thought going through Chomper's head was "I wonder how long my friends will be here"

The next morning, Petrie was the first of the leafeaters to wake up. Littlefoot and the rest soon followed. "Looks like we'll be here all day," Littlefoot smiled, "we should see what Chomper, Ruby, and Rita want to do,"

"Yup yup yup," added Ducky

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #171 on:** January 03, 2009, 01:07:02 AM

Questioning the young sharpteeth and fast runner had interesting results, although it was actually Ruby who came up with the idea. Everyone knew how many adventures the gang of five had been on, and Ruby wanted to hear about them, but made it into a game she called "The Gang of Five Remebering Game".
"Sound fun! How you play?" Petrie asked, ceriously.
"Well, since most fo your adventures happened with just the five of you, before Chomper and I met up with you in the Great Valley, as the name implies, this game is just for the five of you, but I'll make sure it's played correctly, and the young sharpteeth should enjoy listening to this very much, very much they should enjoy listening," she said, smiling at the two sitting right beside each other. "Just think of a time on one adventure you had that at least one of your other friends was there to see. You can give hints with just your words and no body movement until he or she can figure out what event you're talking about. It is like the opposite of last night, last night is the opposite of this. No points or winners, this is just something fun to pass the time, since I don't have any prizes anyway. Who understands?" Everyone nodded right away. "Who wants to play?" Almost every head nodded right away, but eventually, Cera's did too. To keep things peaceful, she asked, "Cera, why don't you start?"

tempestwheel · **Reply #172 on:** January 03, 2009, 01:13:15 AM

Right then and there, Cera went first. "Let's se....bad luck, big longneck, stone...."

"That's when we first met Doc!" Ducky guessed. "That's right," Cera grinned.

Ducky mentioned the events of Part III

Littlefoot gave clues about the events of IX,

Petrie gave clues about the events of VII, and everyone figured them out.

It was a fun morning, but then, all 8 of the kids' bellies rumbled at the same time. "Let's find breakfast," they all (Except Spike) said

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #173 on:** January 03, 2009, 01:39:59 PM

Starting to separate, which was typical now when the sharpteeth wanted to eat, Chomper and Rita went their own way to get food. They held claws as they walked deeper into the island, which was no trouble since Chomper knew it so well.
Rita called, "I'll race you to that rock!" letting go of him and pointing to a large boulder that wasn't too far away.
"Rita, we'd better not do that here. There are ho-" Chomper tried to say, but Rita already took off.
"Wait!" he called, realizing she could get hurt very easily in this area. He took off after her so she wouldn't fall. But he focused completely on her, and, "Oomph!" he uttered, falling into a hole.
Rita turned around and stopped. "Chomper, where did you go?" she asked, a bit worried.
"Owww." Was all she heard. She ran back and saw him in small hole, smaller than he was! "Very funny Chomper. You can't get stuck in a hole you can stand over."
"It hurts," was all the response she got as she noticed Chomper rubbing his leg. It wasn't "very funny" anymore. "Are you okay!? she asked in a panic.
"I'm perfectly fine," he replied, smiling weakly. "But you should ask my leg though. Someting seems to be bothering it," he joked, but then grimaced from pain.
"Can you move? Are you bleeding? Can you get back?" she asked in a frenzie, not getting that Chomper had just tried to calm her down.
"Just follow our trail. You can get back just fine," he replied, pointed the way they came.
Rita got very angry. "How dare you think I would ever leave you here all alone!"
"But Rita, just go and get-"
He was cut off by Rita crouching right beside him. "Uh, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Get on my shoulders. I'm strong. We'll go back together," she said as if he didn't have a choice.
"I can't have you-"
"do that for you? Chomper, trying to make everyone happy doesn't always mean that you have to make everything easier for them. If you want me to be happy now, then you'll get on my shoulders and we'll go back. So what are you going to do?" Rita really wasn't fierce like this. Girls can be lot more forceful to a boy she cares for when he needs it, no matter how easy going she is. Chomper felt more pain in his swollen leg. He looked up at Rita who offered him her claw.

tempestwheel · **Reply #174 on:** January 03, 2009, 01:46:36 PM

Terri wondered where her son and Rita were.

Chomper realized Rita was right. With a little help, Chomper was put on Rita's shoulders. "Let's head back," she smiled, going at a steady pace. But the thought of breakfast was still on their mind. Eventually, before they got back, they found a swimmer (around Hyp's age) sleeping on the ground. "I'll get this for you," Rita said, gently setting Chomper on the ground to avoid applying pressure to the leg.

Rita pounced on the swimmer and slashed at it's throat, finishing it off. Rita held it her mouth as she took Chomper back.

"Son, what happened?!" Dein asked shocked when they showed up

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #175 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:06:49 AM

"Uhhh..." Rita began, looking down.
"I was running in the holey field and not watching where I was stepping. I fell in a hole and hurt my leg, but Rita was there to bring me back," he said, smiling at her.
Rita's mouth dropped open. She made the mistake, not Chomper, but Chomper was somehow able to be honest and yet make it sound like it was his fault. She wasn't going to let Chomper take the blame for her! "That isn't the whole story," Rita said, looking at Dein. Chomper shot her a look.
"Oh? What else happened?" he asked.
"Well, I tried to-"
"Get me to let her carry me." Chomper quickly interjected, with Rita now throwing him a look. "We would have been back sooner but I didn't want to burden her with my weight. But she kept insisting that she won't leave me there until I finally agreed and here we are," Chomper said, looking at his father, not Rita.
Rita shook her head and thought, "He is still isn't lying, but he's making it sound like I'm a hero when Chomper wouldn't even be in this mess if not for me." She paused, then smiled, "He just goes too far for me, but that just makes me love him more."
Both young sharpteeth had proven today just how far each of them would go for the other. They knew of their love, but still didn't fully understand what had come over them. They were still young, so they hadn't realized yet how much love pushes your heart to be stronger for the one treasured inside of it.
"Just sprained," Dein said, looking at his son's leg. "You'll have to stay off of it for the rest of the day so it'll heal right," he said, wrapping it snuggly with some large leaves.
"The rest of the day?" Chomper whined.
"It's payback time for what Chomper told his dad about me," Rita thought, although she wasn't actually thinking those words in the negative way they normally were. "You heard your dad. I guess you leave me no choice, Chomper," Rita said, smiling at him.
"Huh?" he asked.
"It looks like your ride today isn't over yet!," as she crouched beside Chomper again, who willing abliged her now. As they walked off, Dein watched and thought to himself, "She's perfect for him."
Maybe it won't be too long after all before they finally understand what love really does to you.

Although not romantic, the gang of six was also having a time of their own...

tempestwheel · **Reply #176 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:26:56 AM

Very much so, the 6 leafeaters were playing a game of "Collect the Berries" (Capture the flag.) "Me team going to win," Petrie grinned, flying towards the stinky place, where his, Littlefoot, and Ruby's goal was. "Not yet Petrie," Cera grinned, trying to jump up and slow him down, but missed.

Then, Chomper and Rita showed up, and everyone looked surprised

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #177 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:27:54 AM

"When did you decide to make your girlfreind walk for you?" Cera teased.
"He didn't 'make' me do anything," Rita retorted. "He fell because he tried to help me and got hurt. This was the least I could do for him." Everyone finally noticed the leaves around Chomper's leg. Liitlefoot ran up to them and asked Chomper, "Does it still hurt?" Chomper looked at his friend and had absolutely no idea how he should answer him. Yes, it still hurt pretty badly. So he had three options:
1. Say "yes" to be completely honest with Littlefoot then he would worry about
Chomper all day.
2. Say "I can handle it" which isn't a lie but sidesteps the question completely and
would make Littlefoot suspicious.
3. Lie, and say "no" just because he cares about Littlefoot and knows that he won't
be able enjoy himself at all knowing Chomper is hurting.
What would he say? Littlefoot was waiting for him to answer.

Xe, a gaseous element, was being emitted from some plants on the island. Perhaps that is why swarming leaf gobblers never came to the island.

"Yes, but I can handle it. Just gotta not do anything rough," Chomper replied. Littlefoot looked worried for his friend, as he cared for Chomper.

"I could help you if you want, I don't what would be more comfortable, having Rita walk for you, as Cera put it, or having me walk for you. The choice is yours," Littlefoot smiled to his sharptooth friend

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #179 on:** January 06, 2009, 10:21:03 AM

"Yes!" Chomper thought. Rita was obviously getting worn out, Littlefoot is stronger and has carried a lot before, and his large back would be so much comfortable then sitting on her shoulders all day, although he still really appreciated her doing it. Chomper decided the last two reasons wouldn't make Rita feel so good, so he said the first one, "Thank you, Littlefoot! Rita was really nice to carry me all this time but she must be getting tired by now."
"I am not," Rita huffed. Everyone looked at her. "Fine, so I'm a little out of breath. Littlefoot carrying you for a bit will be fine, but once I get my second wind, you can come back to me."
Chomper smiled warmly. She was taking his injury as her fault so badly that she didn't want anyone else to worry about making her mistake any better.
"Thanks, Rita," Chomper said, trying to step off of her before she even lowered herself. But his pain made him lose his balance. He started to fall down, "Whoa!" but Littlefoot came right up behind Chomper and he landed right on Littlefoot's soft back. "Littlefoot, you saved me!"
"You're my good buddy, Chomper. I will always try to be there for you," he answered back with a big smile. Then Chomper hugged Littlefoot's neck.
