"My turn, like you said," Littlefoot replied.

As he was describing something in both languages, Chomper walked up to Rita. "Don't worry Rita," Chomper said, knowing what Rita was thinking, "I don't have remembering trouble or anything."

The game went on, and pretty soon the gang remembered every island-related thing they knew, as did the sharpteeth.
"What should we play now," asked Ducky, noticing the hail storm still going on

tempestwheel · **Reply #221 on:** January 27, 2009, 09:10:10 AM

"Nothing comes to me mind right now," Petrie commented. "What about you guys?"

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #222 on:** January 28, 2009, 06:49:20 PM

"Oh, I know!" Chomper said suddenly as his eyes lit up. "Why don't we go around and say what we like the best about the one sitting next to us?"

"Hey, great idea Chomper!" Littlefoot said. "This will be fun and cheer us up at the same time. Do you guys all agree?" he roared.

Almost everyone said "Yes," except for Ducky, who to everyone's surprise actually roared "No."

"What's the matter Ducky?" Littlefoot asked her. "If you'd rather not play, we don't mind, I just hope you're feeling okay."

Ducky looked very puzzled. "What do you mean Littlefoot?" she asked in a very confused voice. "I'd love to play this. I would. I would."

"But you just said you wouldn't," Cera "reminded" her.

"Yes, I didn't say that. I really would like to play this game," Ducky replied, and now everyone was confused.

But then Chomper remembered that none of the leaf eaters here had spoken sharptooth for very long at all, so he had a feeling what the problem was here. He turned and asked Ducky, "Just answer this question in one word. Do you like Spike?"

Ducky was getting all the more confused but she answered him with a "No." Everyone gasped, even Spike.

Chomper laughed though, and everyone stared at him. "Don't worry guys. I know what;s going on. Ducky just got a little mixed up and confused her roars of "Yes" and "No." Here Ducky. "Yes" is actually this," he roared a demonstration, "and "No" is this one," again, he showed her.

"Oh, thank you Chomper, thank you. I was wondering what was going on here," Ducky told him gratefully. But everyone there was just as appreciative to Chomper for clearing up this problem.

"Well, now that that is settled, let's get started!" Chomper announced.

"Wait!" Rita called, and everyone now turned to her. "Which direction are we going?"

"Uh, what do you mean Rita?" Chomper asked her.

"I mean, are we going to our left side in this game, or our right?" she wanted to know.

Well, nobody had any idea why she asked that since they didn't think it mattered at all, but just to answer her and make the game more organized, Chomper randomly picked and said, "We'll move to our right, I guess."

"Okay," Rita replied. Now Rita was sitting on Chomper's left side and she still wanted him to say something nice about her since the last game they all played. Her attempt then hadn't worked out like she had hoped, but she knew her plan for this game wouldn't fail. "Excuse me just a moment please guys," Rita told the others as she got up and went to the edge of the cave and gazed outside, trying to make it seem as if she was just seeing how bad the hail storm was, then she came back in and sat down next to Chomper, but this time, on his right side. She thought that nobody would realize what she did, but other than Petrie, Ducky, and Spike, everyone noticed, and Chomper smiled on the inside, trying to think of what to say about her. He needed time to find just the right words, so he suggested the one on Rita's right, who was his mother Terri, to start off. That way, he'll have the most time to think. Terri, who was sitting on the left side of her mate Dein, agreed, and the game began.

"Personally, I find Dein to be the handsomest, smartest, and yeas, even toughest sharptooth I know," Terri said. Dein looked flattered.

Dein went next: This was the sitting order, based on the game: Dein, Spike, Ducky, Petrie, Redclaw, Littlefoot, Thud, Cera, Screech, Chomper, and Rita

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #224 on:** February 05, 2009, 02:32:22 PM

(Thanks for setting it up. That saves me some trouble.)

Questioning himself on what to say, Dein said nothing at first. Then he said the first thing that came to mind," At least he'll never say anything annoying."

"Smooth, brother."

"Dein!" Terri exclaimed.

"What? That was a very good thing I said!"

"Well it wasn't very sensitive!"

"Uh, mom, dad? Spike never even learned sharptooth. He didn't even understand what was said."

The two grownups looked at the spiketail who was looking very confused at the escalated voices.

"Oh," Dein replied. "Then just tell him that he never gets too loud."

"Dein."

"He never makes fun of others."

"Dein!"

"Okay, okay! How about, 'He has a healthy appetite'?"

"That would be fine," Terri replied.

So Chomper translated and Spike smiled and started licking Dein's foot.

"Uh, you're welcome," Dein said.

"Spike's turn!" Littlefoot called.

Spike just looked at Ducky for a moment, then began licking her too. The kids just laughed.

"I think Spike likes everything about Ducky the best," Cera commented.

Ducky knew it was her turn next. She hoped that she could say something really nice about Petrie. She wondered what he would like to hear the most.

tempestwheel · **Reply #225 on:** February 05, 2009, 05:35:12 PM

Right then and there, Ducky thought up something.

"Petrie is very funny and smart, he is, he is," Ducky smiled. "Really?" asked Petrie. Ducky happily nodded yes.

"What do you know, more young love blooming," Terri whispered to Dein.

It was Petrie's turn, he needed to think of something to say to Redclaw.

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #226 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:12:33 PM

"Something really good about Redclaw," Petrie roared almost immediately. Everyone except Spike quickly turned to him in surprise, especially Redclaw and Dein.

"What in the world could you have to say good about him?" Dein asked.

"What does that mean?" Redclaw growled.

"Ah, I didn't mean it like THAT," Dein replied with a claw on his head. "I meant that I didn't know what the little flyer could say that he liked about you since you all haven't been together very long you know."

"Oh. That does make sense," Redclaw replied. "Okay little flyer, what is it?"

"It 'Petrie' by the way," he responded. "Now, we not even be here if not for Redclaw. He beat that big green sharptooth all be hisself like it nothing. Redclaw tell us later his name Kole."

At that, all five adult sharptooth had a reaction.

Screech, "That's our boss."

Thud, "He can beat anyone."

Redclaw just beamed.

Dein and Terri turned red.

"What's wrong with you too?" Redclaw asked them.

"What could be wrong?" Dein and Terri said at the exact same time, then they looked at each other and Redclaw just stared at them both.

"I had no choice but to kill him. He tried to kill us first. Were you three friends or something?" Redclaw asked them.

"No," Chomper's parents again said at the same time, and Redclaw was getting very suspicious now.

"Ah, they're just sore they had trouble beating him together yet you killed him no sweat," Cera roared.

"Cera!" Littlefoot nudged her sharply.

Redclaw, who had heard Cera clearly, turned to those two sharply, with a lot to say to them, but they were in the middle of a game and it would sat the best example for the children present, he actually roared, "Thanks 'Petrie'," to everyone's surprise.

"My turn then. Alrght little longneck."

"Littlefoot," he corrected.

"Right. So Littlefoot, I certainly appreciate all the excerise you've given me, running after you so much and all."

Dein snorted. "Excersize?" he thought to himself. But he said nothing since his brother had just refrained from saying anything about their fighting abilities a bit ago, and everyone just thought he had just sniffed hard.

"Uh, I'm always glad to help," Littlefoot roared after a moment, although he felt it awkward for Redclaw to say about him. Being chased by a giant sharptooth didn't seem like a good way to excersize to him.

Littlefoot now turned to Thud. Considering how much he complimented his "boss" and how loyal he was to him, this wouldn't be very hard.

tempestwheel · **Reply #227 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:33:49 PM

Thinking for a moment, Littlefoot eventually thought of something. "Well, you seem ....devoted to your boss Thud," the longneck roared.

"Thanks," Thud roared in reply. It was his turn, and he had to say something nice about Cera.

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #228 on:** February 06, 2009, 12:49:24 AM

Unable to think of something for a while, Thud just stared at her. This happened for so long that Cera finally asked him, "Is something wrong?"

"No," he said simply.

"Uh, then what are you waited for? It can't be that hard to say something nice about me!"

"I'm just having trouble thinking of what to say," he replied.

"Then there IS something wrong!" Cera retorted.

"Oh," he said simply.

After a while, everyone wondered if he forgot what was even going on, but then he finally said, "She'd make a good boss someday."

Now this was the most surprising compliement they'd all heard yet.

"What does that mean?" Cera wanted to know- very badly.

"Good bosses are tough, like to fight, and tell others what to do. You'll never be as good as our boss, but you'll still make a good one for your group."

Just about everyone there braced themselves.

Cera said nothing at first. Then she asked Thud one question, "That's a really big compliment from a sharptooth huh?"

"Oh yeah. Every sharptooth would love to be a good boss," he answered, nodding.

"Wow. Thanks," she answered. "My turn now."

Even Dein, Terri, Redclaw, and Rita, he didn't know Cera very well at all, were greatly taken back. Other than Spike and Screech, everyone there was posititve there was about to a be very serious and loud confrontation for no short amount of time.

Cera looked beyond what would normally be considered a large insult and avoided yelling about it? She actually kept Thud from feeling bad about it too? Whoa. Either she just didn't feel like arguing, or she was actually maturing. Everyone was really impressed.

"Why is everyone staring at me like that?" she asked everyone. They quickly looked away. "O-kay. I'm going ahead now."

Screech was next to her. Now Cera was going to say something nice about a sharptooth? Nobody expected two miracles in one day, but they waited hear what she would say about him.

tempestwheel · **Reply #229 on:** February 06, 2009, 08:53:36 AM

Very much so, Cera eventually did think of something.

"Well, you seem very tough," she roared. Screeh looked flattered.

Cera surprised herself, she doubted she would've been able to come up with that, but she did.
Now it was Screech's turn to say something to Chomper.

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #230 on:** February 08, 2009, 01:17:49 AM

"Well, I'm glad about this little biter saving my brother a while back," Screech said. It didn't take him long to think of that. Then again, saving a family member is pretty hard to forget.

"I am not little! Oh, and uh, no problem," Chomper wished he didn't get offended so quickly after being called that.

"Yeah, that was real nice of you," Thud said. "At least we're even though."

"Huh?" Chomper wanted to know. "What does that mean?"

"Oh. I was just talking about that hiding game you seven had been playing that day with Boss." Thud was slow, but his memory was impressive. Although, the gang was currently having a little trouble in that area.

"When did we ever play hide and seek with Redclaw?" Littlefoot asked him, thinking Thud wasn't thinking correctly.

"Ya know! After the little biter helped me, you all hid from Boss in that small cave. He almost found you, but I led him another way to thank you," Thud told them.

Redclaw mentally sighed. "So that's why I couldn't find them."

Six of the gang were shocked. The other was touched.

"You saved us to repay me? Wow. I'm speecheless," Chomper said slowly, still taking this in.

"Oh, don't worry kid," Thud assured him. "I'm not good with speeches either. Try asking Boss. He's good at everything."

Everyone sighed, but the entire gang looked at Thud a lot differently now.

Now was the moment someone had been looking forward to for quite some time. It was Chomper's turn. Wonder who was waiting for this.

Honestly, Chomper had gotten so focused on enjoying this game, he hadn't thought of a wonderful thing to say about Rita.

"It's your turn now Chomper," Rita said, smiling at him.

Chomper had nothing prepared. He started to perspire, though it wasn't noticed by anyone else. He had no choice now. He was just going to have to speak as he went along, or more specifically, pour out his feelings without thinking about them first.

"Uh, well I," then he looked at that pretty smile of hers again and the words just came to him,"I like all my friends, but what I like best about you Rita, is that I love you."

tempestwheel · **Reply #231 on:** February 08, 2009, 01:35:58 AM

X-shaped trees were not so amazing to Rita as Chomper's comment just now.

"And...I love you too Chomper!" Rita replied loudly, and then the two sharpteeth proceeded to kiss, and they didn't care that everyone else was watching. Chomper and Rita's love for each other was true, and deep.

"This must be how Ali makes me feel," Littlefoot tought to himself.

Caught in the heat of the moment, Rita remembered she still had to take her turn.

Amaranthine · **Reply #232 on:** February 10, 2009, 02:48:48 AM

"You hopeless romantics are so lame!" Cera laughed at the Sharp teeth and the longnecks.

"Pffft...three horns never fall in love like that..., well, except for my dad..."

tempestwheel · **Reply #233 on:** February 10, 2009, 10:33:00 AM

"Zzz....." snored spike.

"He falls asleep in weird places, he does, he does," commented Ducky.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #234 on:** February 10, 2009, 11:48:49 PM

"Actually, Cera, threehorns must fall in love like that, too. The threehorn race would not still be here if they did not fall in love, no no no," Ducky replied to Cera's statement.

Amaranthine · **Reply #235 on:** February 11, 2009, 09:12:00 PM

*boing* a rock bounced on Spike's head. Petrie tried to wake him up, but nothing happened. Ducky and Cera shook their heads and Petrie blushed seeing the girls reactions.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #236 on:** February 12, 2009, 01:48:29 PM

Continuing the game, Rita suddenly realized she had to say something nice about Terri.

tempestwheel · **Reply #237 on:** February 13, 2009, 11:23:05 AM

Didn't take much time for Rita to think of something.

"You're a devoted mother, you're strong, and your brave," Rita smiled. The circle of players had gone around completely, so the game was over.

"That was fun," Ducky roared in sharptooth.

"It's getting late, looks like all of yo will have to sleep here," commented Chomper, the hail storm still going on

tempestwheel · **Reply #238 on:** February 13, 2009, 06:29:38 PM

Elsewhere, far away, swarming leaf gobblers had pretty much taken over the GV area. It was pointless for the leafeaters to head back there.

All the other flatteeth arrived at the place they went to back in Part V. "Ya know, I've always wondered what's on that island," Tria said, eying Sharptooth Island in the distance. "Probably nothing important," grunted Topsy

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #239 on:** February 19, 2009, 06:48:45 PM

Finding a comfortable place of his own, Ecco settled down, and looked at the island himself.

"Hunh," he said quietly to himself. "I wonder how the others even got on that island. I don't even see a place to walk across." Then he snorted. "And while they're on the island having a great time, I have to do all the work of keeping their families settled." Then he glanced at Mr. Threehorn. "But I seem to be having a little trouble with that. You'd think they'd want to be back with their families by now. Nothing is better than a family..." he said, getting lost in thought.

"Hey, Ecco!" a loud voice called to him, and he snapped back into reality.

"Yes, Mr. Threehorn?" he replied, although knowing what the subject was already.

"The children should have been here by now. If anything has happened to them, I'll-"

"Topsy!" Tria called. "Don't get angry at Ecco. He didn't do anything."

"I KNOW THAT!" he responded angrily. "The children snuck away because he did nothing. He could have warned us that they were planning to leave so we could have stopped them. If he had had done SOMETHING, we wouldn't be separated from them now. Who should I be angry at?"

"Topsy..." Tria responded, sounding like she was going to cry. Actually, she had known him a long time and was used to his gruffness, but she was trying to get him away from the poor boy. "You don't need to yell at me," she said, getting choked up, and began to walk away with her head down and tail between her legs.

"Tria, wait! I didn't mean to- Come back! I'm sorry, okay?" Then he went after her, leaving Ecco alone.

"Guys," he said, even though they weren't there to hear him, "I'm sorry but, if every day is going to be like this until you decide to come back, then you leave me no choice."

He smiled. "You're all gonna be bringing me breakfast in nest for a very long time. Now I won't have to get up early just to collect tree stars all juicy from the morning dew." Feeling very satisfied with his repayment solution, he curled up on his little spot, and slept soundly the whole night.
