The gang soon caught up with Ducky. "What wrong, Ducky?" Petrie asked.

"huh?" asked Ducky, not noticing her friends approach her. "Oh, nothing is rong, don't worry, don't worry," replied Ducky. Ducky then thought more deeply about this.

Chomper and Ruby knew it wouldn't work out because they were two different types of dinos (meat and leaf-eater respectively), but she and Petrie were both flatteteh, so maybe..

"Let's go have some fun!" smiled Rita

Screech and Thud were nearby, just walking around.

"Let's play tag!" Cera called. "That sounds good!" everyone called back. "Ruby, you and me will be it," the threehorn said. "Ok," replied Ruby. They began chasing after Spike, Chomper, and Littlefoot. Ducky, Rita, and Petrie went in different directions.

Rita noticed Ducky had an odd look on her face, as Petrie flew ahead. "Something wrong Ducky?" the girl rex asked. Ducky stayed silence for a second, but then she decided to tell Rita what she was feeling.

"I got confused when Chomper said how he used to think Ruby was cute, I did, I did," the swimmer said. "What do you mean?" Rita asked. "Well, I kind like Petrie, I do, I do," she admitted. Rita got the context of what Ducky was saying.

"So, you're worried that because you and Petrie are different species, love couldn't work out?" asked Rita. "Yup yup yup," Ducky replied quietly. "Don't worry, Chomper and Ruby realized a crush wouldn't work because they'd eventually have to go their seperate ways. But you and Petrie live in the same place, I'm sure that could work," she comforted.

"Thank you Rita," Ducky smiled. Just then, Chomper came by. "Tagged ya!" he laughed, kissing Rita. "Cera managed to tag me," he explained with a smile. Rita sniffed the air. "Petrie's that way, maybe just give him a little kiss and hug and tell him how you feel," she quickly whispered. Ducky nodded, she had a tendency to jump into things like this.

"Can't catch me"! Chomper called to Rita, the girl rex was now it. Meanwhile, Petrie was resting on a log. Screech and Thud were walking nearby. Ducky was following the directions Rita had given her.

"I'm tired," Thud commented. "Thank just lie down on the log," Screech advised, looking down at Petrie. "Me will move," Petrie replied. Though he didn't know what they were saying, he could tell that Thud was tired. Ducky saw Petrie, but she didn't see the fast biter brothers.

"

I'll just run up and give PEtrie a kiss, that's what I'll do, I will, I will." Ducky thought to herself. She closed her eyes for some reason, maybe to double the surprise. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to dash towards the log just as Thud began lying down.

KISS.

There, it was done. Ducky had gave Petrie a kiss.......right? But when she opened her eyes, she noticed something odd. Petrie and Screech were just staring at her in confused silence. Ducky had accidently kissed Thud on the cheek of his face.

(Sorry for being the poster twice in a row, I just wanted to do that.)

Thud looked at Ducky in the same manner as Petrie and Screech. Ducky, meanwhile, felt humiliated beyond repair.

"Uh, Ducky. What that all about?" gasped Petrie.

It was then that Ducky knew she had her shot at telling Petrie exactly how she felt about him. However, she was too embarrassed and ashamed to say anything.

"I, uh, I, uh, uh, uh," was all she could spit out before her shame ot the best of her. "You would not understand, no no no!"

Ducky turned around and took off while crying harshly as the threesome continued to stare in shock.

"Whatever got into her?" asked Screech.

"I dunno. That was strange but kind of her nonetheless," added Thud.

"Me go talk to Ducky. Me have feeling me have to do with this," sighed Petrie as he flew after Ducky.

tempestwheel · **Reply #203 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:55:12 AM

Under these circumstances, Petrie quickly flew after Ducky. The swimmer was sitting by herself, still crying. "What wrong Ducky?" Petrie asked.

Ducky sniffled a bit. "You know that kiss I gave Thud?" she asked sadly. "Yes," replied Petrie, not quite getting what see was talking about. "It was.......meant for you Petrie, it was, it was."

Petrie looked surprised.....but not too surprised. "Me know you like me Ducky," the flyer smiled, "And me.....like you too." Ducky brightened up completely. She ran over to Petrie and gave him a kiss.....no interruptions this time.

"Aww......." they heard voices say. They looked around, it was Littlefoot, Spike, Chomper, Rita, Cera, and Ruby. But Ducky and Petrie weren't embarrased.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #204 on:** January 12, 2009, 10:52:49 AM

"Very sweet. You two make such a cute couple," said Chomper.

"You really do," added Littlefoot. "But, what will your folks think of this?"

"Me worry when time to tell come," squawked Petrie. Everyone laughed.

"I don't know what it is about this island, but there must be something on it causing love to be in the air. I'm glad for you two," said Cera. As she said that, she thought about how she wished she would one day meet that special someone who would be devoted to her and love her for life.

tempestwheel · **Reply #205 on:** January 12, 2009, 12:09:56 PM

X-shaped trees were nearby. "Want to continue the sharptooth language lesson?" asked Chomper. "Sure Chomper," Littlefoot smiled

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #206 on:** January 12, 2009, 03:37:22 PM

"Ya know, I was just thinking about something," Cera began. Everyone waited to hear from her before continuing the lesson.
"What is it, Cera?" Littlefoot asked, patiently.
"This is like, the third time we've seen those weird tree shapes," Cera commented.
"Yeah, I know," Chomper said, jumping into the conversation. "They grow like that all around the island."
"Well, I never saw things like this before, but now it seems like every 26 times someone does something, another one just shows up," Cera remarked.
"Twenty-six?" Littlefoot asked, curious if she had been keeping track.
"I don't know for sure. I was just giving a close guess, that's all. But it feels like things are really working out well with our little adventure here, even with those strange trees showing up all the time," Cera stated.
"Me no understand what you getting at," Petrie said, confused.
"Forget it! It's not important so it really doesn't matter anyway. Let's just keep trying to learn this language."
"That's the spirit, Cera!" Chomper said, encouraging her. "Now, the next lesson is adding the proper feel to the things you say."
"Huh? What do you mean, Chomper?" Littlefoot questioned.
"Well, wouldn't it sound strange if you said something this way, 'I am really sorry for how I treated you?' See? If you don't add the proper feel to a roar, things you want to tell others could sound like your asking a question. Or how about if someone was in danger, but you casually roar, 'Look out.' It is the urgency of saying that that brings a fast response so they will look out in time. You can't just roar words; the right feeling has to go along with it. Even with the right things to say, it will be difficult to get your meaning across with the wrong emotion. So now, let me start by showing you how to sound when roaring a question. Everyone listen up."

tempestwheel · **Reply #207 on:** January 12, 2009, 05:42:05 PM

"zzzz..." snored Spike, then Ducky woke her brother up.

Chomper let out a tiny growl. "That's a calm, happy tone," Chomper explained. Everyone tried their best imitation. "Nice, good job, Chomper complimented."

The Sharptooth lesson went on for about 2 hours. The leafeaters were slowly but surely learning the language of carnivores. "This is pretty cool," Littlefoot said, surprised how well he and his friends were doing.

Terri and Dein soon came by. "Time for lunch son," Dein smiled contently to Chomper

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #208 on:** January 12, 2009, 07:02:56 PM

"All right, see you later guys," Littlefoot roared.
Dein and Terri were taken back. "What did you just say?" Terri asked Littlefoot.
"What did she say?" Littlefoot asked Chomper since he hadn't learned that much.
"She was just surprised to hear you and understand you at the same time," Chomper said with a smile. He looked at his parents and roared the entire explanation to them. Both of them smiled and hugged him. They had never felt so proud! Although Dein wanted Chomper to grow up to be the best hunter, starting with a teaching career couldn't hurt. Chomper and Rita said their "See ya's" to the leaf eaters as they went with the grownups to eat.
"What are we gonna do now? I'm not even hungry yet," Cera complained.
Littlefoot's face brightened. "Hey guys! Why don't we practice what we've been learning so we'll get even better and surprise Chomper when he gets back!"
"Me like that idea," Petrie said.
"Me too. Yep, yep, yep," agreed Ducky.
"Talking what we've learned, will teach us how to talk," Ruby added.
"Fine. There's nothing better to do anyway," Cera replied.
"Great," said Littlefoot. "Let's get started. Ducky and Cera need some help with using the right feeling in a conversation. Cera sounds like she is exclaiming something every time she roars, while Ducky has trouble doing that at all. Why don't we begin there? Then all of will at least be able to express ourselves right."

tempestwheel · **Reply #209 on:** January 12, 2009, 07:18:27 PM

Better and better the day was getting. "Snagged this," Redclaw called to his nephew, holding another flyer corpse. "Mmm.....I love these!" Chomper smiled. "Found a nest around here," Redclaw explained.

"Boss can catch anything," bragged Screech.

Meanwhile, Ruby and Littlefoot were teaching Cera to calm down her roars, while Petrie and Spike were helping Ducky

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #210 on:** January 15, 2009, 03:31:40 PM

Cera was doing rather well in learning the sharptooth language. However, after a while, a bad feeling came over her that caused her to feel awful.

"Guys, I'll be back," she sighed just before she walked off. She could almost walk without limping by now. Littlefoot, who had picked up on her tone of voice, looked in the direction she had headed.

"I'll be back too," he said as he went in the same direction Cera had gone. The path he was taking ended where a large amount of trees and bushes were, but Cera was nowhere to be seen.

"Cera! Cera, where are you?!" he called. As soon as he called, he could hear sniffling.

"Cera?" he called in a much quieter tone as he followed the sound. Surely enough, he found her. She was laying down, had her face buried in her tucked in front legs, and was crying harshly. Littlefoot was both surprised and sad. Cera rarely cried, especially as harshly as she was. Littlefoot came closer to her.

"Cera," he whispered just before she looked up at him. Cera was peeved that Littlefoot had caught her crying before she could hide it, but did nothing as her cover was blown. She looked up at him, her face full of tears.

"Cera, what's wrong? You can tell me," Littlefoot whispered again as he nestled down next to her. "Was it something any of us said?"

"No," she choked. "Littlefoot, I have really been having a good time with everyone, but when will this end?"

"When will what end, Cera?" he asked curiously.

"Being stuck on this island. Littlefoot, I...I miss my family so much. My father always made me feel safe and I know he loves me even though he is gruff. Tria has always been so kind and always took care of me whenever I got sick. And Tricia, how she looked up to me from the start and how she would curl up with me whenever she got scared or cold. I miss them terribly. I just don't know how I'll ever live without them," she sobbed just before she buried her face and wept again.

tempestwheel · **Reply #211 on:** January 15, 2009, 05:30:21 PM

"Don't worry, I know we'll see our families again," Littlefoot assured. Cera started to weep less.

"Thanks Littlefoot," she managed to smile. "Let's just go back and hang with our friends."

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #212 on:** January 17, 2009, 12:09:34 PM

Eventually, Ducky was able to sound more agrressive with her roars. Petrie and Spike had tried to help her, but they weren't the best teachers on the subject either. Ducky had thanked them both for their attempt, but she still had trouble in this area. But it was Ruby that helped Ducky out with this in the end. It seems that Ducky had forgotten what Ruby had told her a long time ago on this matter, so Ruby just had to remind her and Ducky finally began to get the hang of roaring with more emphasis. This is what Ruby had to tell her- once again:

Cera slowly began to talk more gently, but only after listening to Littlefoot do it several times. Littlefoot turned out to be an excellent teacher at how to speak calmly. They were all very pleased with themselves and couldn't wait to show off their improved skills. Not long afterwards, their two instructers returned. Picking something in his teeth unsccessfully, he roared with a claw still in his mouth, "Howth's it coming guyths?".

tempestwheel · **Reply #213 on:** January 17, 2009, 01:09:45 PM

"Fairly well, actually," Littlefoot roared back. "That's good to hear," Chompmer replied in sharptooth.

The lesson went on. Soon, they learned more and more sentences, and became more and more fluent.

Soon, the 9 friends heard some rocks fall. "What was that?" asked Cera in flatooth. "Let's go check it out," Littlefoot replied. When they reached the source of the sound, they saw that Little Cavern had caved in.

"Oh great, looks like we can't sleep there," grumbled Cera. "Don't worry, you guys can stay with my family," smiled Chomper

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #214 on:** January 18, 2009, 12:51:51 AM

"Great. At least we'll be safer with the grown-ups," said Littlefoot.

"Yes, we will be safer. Yep, yep, yep," added Ducky, then letting out a sneeze. The children then realized it was getting to be very cold.

"Yeah, and I hope we'll be warmer, too," Cera said through chattering teeth.

tempestwheel · **Reply #215 on:** January 18, 2009, 12:56:59 AM

Hail (or, as the LBT cast would call it rock water) was beginning to fall. "Quick everyone, to my family's cave!" called Chomper. He and his parents led the children as well as Redclaw, Screech, and Thud to a MASSIVE cave, big enough to fit all of them in.

"Nice place brother," Redclaw complimented. "Thanks," replied Dein. "it's much warmer in here, it is, it is," smiled Ducky. "Thank goodness for that," Cera sighed relieved.

"This rock water storm will last the rest of the day," Terri said, and the leafeaters understood her. "We should play a game we could play in this cave," Ruby suggested

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #216 on:** January 19, 2009, 01:23:19 AM

Instantly getting the hint that Ruby wanted her game played yet again, they said, "Sure," and were going to start when Littlefoot roared, "But Ruby, wouldn't it be better to play something that everyone here can join in?"
"Hmmm. You have a good point, a good point you have." She thought for a bit. "Well," she began with a smile, "All of us have been on the island for a while. Why don't we make make references to something that happened after we got here and have everyone try to guess what situations they're from?" she roared.
This sounded good to everyone except the fastbiter brothers who haven't involved themselves in much of anything after getting here. Still, they agreed to try.
"Hey dad, why don't you go first?" Chomper suggested.
"Sure son. This sounds fun." He thought for a while. Everyone was wondering if he would think of anything at all when he finally grinned and asked, "What situation was this from? 'I think flyers are the yummiest'," he quoted. This would have been a fine way to start if Petrie hadn't learned sharptooth.
"Who on island ever say that!?" Petrie asked appalled.
"Dad!" Chomper exclaimed.
"Ooops," was all Dein said, thinking of a way to cover this up.

tempestwheel · **Reply #217 on:** January 19, 2009, 08:31:38 AM

Just then, Dein came up with a cover-up. "That was me, I apologize for startling you flyer," he said to Petrie. "It ok," Petrie said, nervous at first, but then he calmed down. The game went on, Petrie recalling their visit to the stinky place.

The hail storm went on. "Glad we're in here," Rita smiled.

tempestwheel · **Reply #218 on:** January 20, 2009, 07:30:05 PM

Kole, the green sharptooth was still dead

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #219 on:** January 23, 2009, 04:09:07 AM

"Let me go next!" Rita exclaimed after the game had continued for a while longer. The game hadn't stopped yet because the hail sure hadn't and nobody was tired anyway. When they all said, "Sure," she replied, "Some of you were in great danger, yet someone managed to save the day with his amazing idea."
Now before Rita had even started her descritption, everyone, except the slower minded fastbiter brothers- had a strong feeling that she would talk about Chomper. Now the three grown sharpteeth still felt that way, but they weren't there when the despression was filled with water with Cera, Duck, and Littlefoot inside it. Chomper smiled but wouldn't answer since he thought it would come across as bragging, the whole, "I'm the one who saved them," thing. Cera didn't want to admit in front of everyone a second time, so she said nothing either. Spike didn't say a word, but everyone knows why that was. So finally, Littlefoot answered smiling, "Chomper did it. His quick thinking is the reason we made it out of there alive."
Now the three grownups, whose guess was now confirmed, hugged their son/nephew, proud as they were of him now that they knew what he had done.
"Well, Littlefoot, you got it right so you can go ahead," she said with a smile. She had hoped that Chomper would have guessed it then talked about her, but she could always try again. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. "He didn't forget what had happened there, did he?" She hoped all the trauma from his injury wasn't affecting his memory. That would be awful, even worse, it would be her fault! Now she looked worried.
