"I haven't really talked about it, since I don't even have any idea what happened myself. The only thing either of those two would know is me somehow landing on Cera when I first got here. I wouldn't recommend a threehorn for a seat," Anna said with a chuckle. "Even if I did attempt to tell those two, I don't think I would even be able to make the story make sense."

Screech snarled recollectively when Red Claw mentioned the glider; that red leafy-looking freak of nature that had challenged, attacked, outwitted, and thoroughly humiliated him. His eyelids twitched involuntarily; Screech could still faintly feel the throbbing pain in his eyes from when the glider had poked them.

“Would I ever…” he growled, “If I could only get my claws on that wretched…whatever it is…its suffering would be legendary. I’d start byó” Screech suddenly stopped, and peered at his pack leader suspiciously. “Red Claw, what are you planning?”

--------------------------------------------------

Even though he, Anna, and Amy had moved away from the group by the riverbank, the number of individuals congregated there (many of whom were familiar LBT characters), and the fact that something rather serious and dramatic had apparently been going on before his and Amy’s arrival, was intensifying Pangaea’s shy and nervous social demeanor, as evidenced by the stutter in his voice as he spoke to Anna:

“Uh, also…” he said, “I–I–I was just curious, when…how did you find out that you could…you know…switch from being a human to being a dinosaur and back?”

"Thank you for sharing this knowledge with me, Ruby. It will surely help me in the future." Claw said, even though this didn't help him with his current problem. SO he kept asking:

"Even though I shouldn't eat plants or fruits as a fastbiter, could you still tell me witch of them are dangerous to eat?" after that he added quickly "I noticed that some of people, who came from our universe can turn back to their human form. Someday I might learn how to do it too and then it might come in handy for me to know which fruits are poisonous or deadly..."

Rocky · **Reply #1503 on:** August 01, 2010, 06:46:49 PM

Rocky's eyes widened when he saw Ducky fall in, but he was soon releaved that Anna saved her. Rocky's attention was diverted when he saw some more dinosaurs appear, he turned to little foot and the others. "It was nice to meet you, and i hope you feel better ducky. I'll see you all later. Rocky said as he left.

Rocky walked through the Valley. He was looking for a place to sleep while he was here. Rocky was caught up in his thinking that he failed to notice he stepped in something until he heard a squishing sound. 'Please let it be mud or a piece of fruit.' He thought silently as he looked down. he saw a piece of rotten fruit. 'Well it could of been worse.' He sighed as he saw a small pond. Walking over to it. Rocky started to wash his foot off.

Rocky was busy washing his foot to notice someone behind him. The next thing he knew it, Rocky was faced down in the pond. When he got up he saw Hyp, Mutt, and Nod were standing over him laughing. Rocky got up as Hyp started to speak "You must be new here, that's our .." Hyp started to say when Rocky threw some mud at him and it landed right in Hyp's mouth.

Rocky took this chance to run. He knew it would not be wise to fight them, they had a size and numerical advantage over him. Rocky kept running till he collided something, or rather someone. Looking up he saw a fully grown long neck that looked like littlefoot. Rocky recognized him as Bron, Littlefoot' s father. it was proven further when he saw Shorty stand close by.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." Rocky said as he got up. "I'm Rocky by the way." He said, introducing himself as he dusted himself off.

((Ooc: I hope it's ok that I used Hyp, Mutt, and Nod. I don't intend to claim them by the way.))

"Sure, I suppose I can-" replied Ruby, but was interrupted by Chronicler.

"Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I think you should be aware that I'm starting to get a little suspicious here," said Chronicler.

"What are you suspicious about that is so suspicious?"

"The question he just asked. He could wait until later to get an answer to such a question, but why is he so insistent on getting such an answer right now? Hey, Chomper, have you ever though of asking a question similar to the one Claw just asked?" He was expecting Chomper to say that he never thought of asking such a question.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #1505 on:** August 01, 2010, 11:36:15 PM

Bron looked down at the dome-head that had collided with him "Its not your fault Rocky" Bron said in response to Rocky's apology, Shorty was silent but he glanced at Rocky before walking away from him.
--------------
Belmont morphed into human form before turning and leaving, seeing as these three weren't in the mood to speak, he felt he felt that he needed to talk about these dreams he had that night, but at the same time wanted to keep them secret.

When he had walked at least two miles, Belmont saw a longneck in the distance, so he walked towards it seeing as there was something he needed to discuss...

Kor · **Reply #1506 on:** August 02, 2010, 12:50:13 AM

"Petrie just glad Ducky ok." Petrie said looking over at Ducky with relief on his face.

-----

Grandpa Longneck was eating from a tree, one of the ones with treestar leaves and lots of leaves on them. He did this to make sure there was a lot of food for others and enough for the trees also.

----

Mim was sitting on a rock not to far from the thundering falls. She had been doing some light running to keep the ability to do long distance running in case she needed to, and had stopped to rest on a handy large rock.

--------------

Flapper had finished eating some leaves and tree sweets in a tree and was enjoying the view before he would try gliding down, being sure no one was around to see how badly he'd do, and he was resting for now. [1]

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #1507 on:** August 02, 2010, 01:25:59 AM

"That's a good question," Anna chuckled. "I didn't have to make a conscious effort to learn how to do that. I just freaked out at the thought of not bein' able to outrun Cera when I first got here, and almost out of a reflex, I changed back into my human form. I find that, if I don't think too hard whenever I wish to change forms, it seems to come naturally."

Meanwhile, back at Cera's group, Ducky let out a yawn.

"Thank you, Petrie," she yawned. "I do feel sleepy, yep yep yep."

"Don't fall aslep on us, Ducky," Cera said as she gently nudged the little swimmer. "Remember what Anna said?"

"I know what she said, yep yep yep," Ducky softly replied.

Amaranthine · **Reply #1508 on:** August 02, 2010, 01:38:47 AM

Amy was curious about Anna's reason for Ducky to not going to sleep, she wondered if it had to do something with being cold or something, so she asked, "Um...I'm not an expert at being a nurse or anything, so I'm wondering, what would happen if Ducky goes to sleep?"

Then she quickly added, "It was the same thing with me, it was all spontaneous and just...well out of nowhere, coming here I mean."

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #1509 on:** August 02, 2010, 01:48:19 AM

"You've never heard of secondary drowning before? It's when somebody drowns on fluids that got into their lungs hours after they've had some kind of trouble when swimming. People usually feel really sick or really drowsy shortly after and wish to get some sleep, but that's the worst thing they can do. Basically, the person may go to sleep and never wake up again," Anna explained as best as she could to Amy.

Amaranthine · **Reply #1510 on:** August 02, 2010, 02:12:07 AM

"No, I don't think so..." Amy wondered. It was strange with her, she might have been told something before and she might slightly remember the term, but she didn't know what it actually was. She felt very stupid when this happened as well.
----------------
Red Claw grinned in spite of himself and declared, "Now that my strength is returning and more and more I am becoming accustomed to my blindness, I realize something...as a predator, you are more dangerous then ever then when you can see. So...I have a mission for both of you as soon as you are done with that meal."

He paused for a moment and commented, "From what I understand, and heard is that the hole was plugged up already from us to get in. What we need to do is find the entry that those stupid leaf eaters use to get inside. When we find it, you can capture that glider and bring him out here so the others will try to follow you out. If that flyer comes out to try to rescue him...she can be taken under our claws." His teeth flashed in the sunlight of this plan.

"Do it at night as well. Oh and bring Thud along, two heads are always better then one."
--------
Mr. Three Horn went to the Thundering falls to see how his children were doing. He saw the sight of other kids and the newcomers in the scene. So he decided to have a drink.
-------
Little Foot went along with Cera, Ducky, and Petrie and said, "I've noticed Anna and the others talking a bit, I wonder what they are saying...I know they said something about coming from the GOF and not exactly seeing each other. Maybe somehow we could help them find their home." He smiled. However to reassure he wasn't trying to kick them out he quickly added, "Not that they are a problem or anything...it's just..." He trailed off thinking about his past and the events that happened to him and his friends...and his mom.

Myrkin · **Reply #1511 on:** August 02, 2010, 09:21:49 AM

"Well... No. I don't eat any plants, so I was never interested in which of them I shouldn't eat." Chomper answered.

"That's because you are a sharptooth and not a human in sharptooth body." Claw claimed, before turning to Chronicler "I might not know how to turn into a human right now, so of course I could ask these question later, but what if later there will be no time? A lot happens in this place and it is not improbable that, when I'll be able to turn into a human, everyone will be too busy resolving some crisis to give me an answer. That is why I ask now, before some big commotion and not particular fastrunner would interrupt..." he said the last line with a tone of sarcasm. He was clearly annoyed by Chronicler's interrupts.

"Is it so unreasonable of me to ask these questions now, Ruby?" Claw asked other fastrunner "If you think it is, then I guess I will have to wait with asking them till later time..."

Kor · **Reply #1512 on:** August 02, 2010, 10:00:49 AM

"If Ducky feel sleepy and it bad to sleep maybe we can walk around and talk. That way she not get to tired to go to sleep." Petrie said. He looked over at littlefoot, "Maybe it like when grown ups want talk with us not around." He said shrugging.

-----

Mim got up and continued on her way to the thundering falls to see what some other folks were up to there.

----

Seeing no one around Flapper climbed down from the tree. Glad no one was around since they may think it odd for a flyer to climb down from a tree and not just fly down.

The Chronicler · **Reply #1513 on:** August 02, 2010, 08:00:03 PM

"Hey, I'm just trying to do what I believe is the right thing to do," responded Chronicler.

Ruby was uncertain about how she should respond to Claw's question. "I'm not sure, What do you think, Chronicler?"

"Well, I'm not sure what it is, but something doesn't seem right." He then picked up the bamboo pole he had just recently made for himself, just because he needed something to hold onto. "Is it okay we speak in private, Claw? I believe it would best for all of us."

Myrkin · **Reply #1514 on:** August 02, 2010, 08:47:17 PM

Claw rolled his eyes in annoyance. He would prefer, if Ruby refused answering his question of her own accord and not because Chronicler said so. After all, she should be able to speak or think for herself as well as anybody else, right?

"Alright. I will take this harpoon now to practice catching fish. We can talk then." he said, grabbing the tool and heading to the exit. He was stopped by Chomper's voice:

"Chronicler says you are acting suspicious and now you are both leaving to talk about it." little sharptooth said, looking at Claw and Chronicler with his usual innocence "You want to share some secrets without us listening to it, right?" Claw sighed and replied:

"Chomper, Ruby. It is not like we don't trust you, but..."

"Then why don't you want to talk here? Maybe we don't know you for a very long time, but we are friends and friends should tell each other about their problems."

"Er... Who said I have a problem?" Claw asked rhetorically "It's just Chronicler being overly suspicious about perfectly innocent question" he lied, hoping it will convince anyone "I am sure that after a few minutes of talking he will see eye to eye with me on this..."

Bron looked down at the dome-head that had collided with him "Its not your fault Rocky" Bron said in response to Rocky's apology, Shorty was silent but he glanced at Rocky before walking away from him.

"Yeah, i guess your right." Rocky said as he looked at Bron. "If you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" Rocky asked Bron, even though he already knew both Bron and Shorty from the 10th land before time movie.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #1516 on:** August 03, 2010, 01:27:29 AM

"That's okay. It's not a commonly known condition," Anna said, having picked up on Amy's embarrassment.

----------------------------

"I think Petrie's right Let's walk around a little bit," Cera said as she gently nudged Ducky. Before Ducky could reply, her mother happened to come across the group of children.

"Well, hello there. How's everything?" Ms. Swimmer asked as she looked from one kid to the next.

"We're all okay, but Ducky's not feeling too well," Cera replied.

"Oh, my goodness. What happened, dear?" Ms. Swimmer asked out of concern as she gently scooped up Ducky.

"I got caught in the current while trying to get to some underwater plants, I did I did. I thought I would drown, but then Anna got me out of the water. She then told me that if I feel sleepy to not sleep because something bad could happen to me, yes she did," Ducky explained. This caused Ms. Swimmer to look down at Cera.

"She didn't tell me why, either, but I believe what she said," Cera spoke up.

"Well, I'm so glad you're okay, Ducky. By the way, who is this Anna? Is she an imaginary friend? You've mentioned her name a lot, but I've never seen her," Ms. Swimmer said as she looked at her surroundings.

"She comes and goes a lot, and she does seem to come from nowhere quite a bit," Cera said. "I'm sure she'll show herself to you sooner or later."

"Interesting," Ms. Swimmer said, feeling convinced Anna was indeed an imaginary friend that the group of children had created. She then turned her attention to Ducky.

"Why don't you come back home with me, dear? I know where there is some green food that might help you feel better, and once you feel better you can come out and play again," Ms. Swimmer said as she headed for her nesting area while carrying Ducky, paying attention to ensure she did not fall asleep.

The Chronicler · **Reply #1517 on:** August 03, 2010, 10:30:03 AM

"Alright, let's go," said Chronicler as he followed Claw. After a few steps, he stopped and turned around. "Oh, and Ruby, this time I would really appreciate it if you don't follow me, okay? I want to talk to him in private, that means I don't anyone hearing what we say to each other."

"Okay, I'll try not to follow you this time since you don't want to be followed," replied Ruby.

Chronicler then turned back around and continued to follow Claw out of the cave.

Although Ruby wanted to follow Chronicler's advice and not follow him, she just couldn't ignore the feeling that she needed to always be with him.

Once Chronicler and Claw were far enough away from the cave that he was sure nobody would hear them, Chronicler said, "Okay, I'm going to be realistic here and assume that you won't just flat out tell me what you're hiding from me, right?"

Myrkin · **Reply #1518 on:** August 03, 2010, 11:16:22 AM

"Well... Assuming that I had anything to hide... Yes, that would be a correct statement." Claw said, still walking towards the nearest stream. He wondered what Chronicler will do or say to get him reveal his secret? No matter what fastrunner will do, Claw couldn't spill the beans as long as he didn't have a cure for that poisonous fruit. Already he could feel it's effects, as he was feeling a bit tired. After that, a pain in his head was supposed to come... Maybe not right away, but soon enough to prove to Claw, that Rinkus and Sierra didn't bluff to him.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #1519 on:** August 03, 2010, 01:11:59 PM

"Bron" Bron told Rocky, Shorty still remained silent.
