"How about we make a deal," said Chronicler. "You know what bamboo is, right? If you can find some and show me where it grows, I'll be able to give you something that could make it easier for you to catch some fish. What do ya say?" He held out his hand to accept a handshake.

The wind blew, cooling Belmont's skin he admitted that his first few minutes of this fine day in the Great Valley and as a longneck were going quite well for him but considering the events of last night there were and even the fact that Belmont was even in the Land Before Time world were questions that he wanted answered maybe the GV residents could have an answer to the first question but for the second, who knows.

Rick sighed and picked up Longtail by the tip of his tail and slowly carried him towards the nearest body of water and sat him down at the edge. "I'm not sure this is a good idea, but it's the only way to wake ya buddy." he then used his tail and splashed some water onto Longtail hoping it would wake the little flyer.

At first Longtail didn't respond, but after a few more splashes he groaned and began to stir. "You know I hate it when you wake me like that Unc-" but he stopped mid-sentence as he realized he wasn't talking to his uncle. "Oh...hi Rick." he said with a goofy grin on his beak.

Little Foot shrugged, "Okay I guess...I'm still hungry..." He repeated to his grandmother.
------------------
The little lizard scurried away and Amy just sighed in frustration and in hunger. So she peered in the pond and looked to find her prey. The fish swam in different formations, and this actually made her be in a meditative state.
----------------
Rebeeca said to her son, "I didn't see them at all, but if they are here we still must treat them respectfully and don't make them feel unwelcome." She scooted some food near her son. "Go ahead, dig in."

Petrie went over to start to eat his breakfast from the gathered leaves.

"Let's get you some more treestars then." Grandpa Longneck saiid as he reached up to get Littlefoot some more treestars that he dropped in front of Littlefoot. "Is that enough for now?" He asked smiling.

Amaranthine · **Reply #705 on:** November 01, 2009, 01:35:32 AM

(Pangaea and Sam, can ya guys wake up Screech and Thud please? Thanks.^^)

Little Foot licked his lips and said, "Yeah, thanks Grandpa! Um would you two like to eat first?" He asked politely. He always tried to respect his grandparents the best he could.
-----------
Amy then lunged toward the fish. The fish flew in the air and dropped upon the grass. She then jumped out of the water and chased it for a bit until she came to where Anna, Ducky, and Spike were. She was probably an amusing sight, chasing a flopping fish all the way down to them.

"Aha! Got ya!" She finally inserted her claws into the fish. Then she see slowly turned her head to the threesome and turned red.

"Oh....good morning guys." She said with embarrassment in her tone.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #706 on:** November 01, 2009, 01:41:08 AM

"Good mornin'," Anna greeted with a smile. "I believe we met yesterday. Ya look familiar."

"Hello! How are you?" Ducky asked in her usual cheerful manner.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #707 on:** November 01, 2009, 01:55:58 AM

Grandma Longneck smiled and replied, "It's alright Littlefoot. You need the best green food we can find." She then raised her head and began pulling the fresher leaves off of a nearby tree for her grandson.

~~~

Spike simply smiled at Amy as he picked up several more leaves in his mouth and continued to eat.

~~~

"Out patrolling the valley wall again?" asked Rick with a smile on his face.

Longtail shook his head and replied, "So what if I was....it shouldn't matter to you."

Rick just nudged Longtail with his nose and asked, "Would you like some food before going to see the others?"

Longtail's face immediately lit up as he nodded.
"That would be great!" he commented with a happy tone.

“Wow!” Pangaea exclaimed, “So those are the Thundering Falls! They’re incredible up close!”

Guido had taken Pangaea to the waterhole beneath the Thundering Falls. They were far enough away from the waterfall itself that their voices were not drowned out by its cascading roars, but even at that distance, it was one of the most impressive natural spectacles Pangaea had ever seen.

“The water’s nice, clear, and cold here,” Guido said, “Best watering hole in the valley, if you can stand the crowds.”

Pangaea looked around. Indeed, several other dinosaurs (none of which he recognized as either familiar LBT characters or transformed GOF members) were wading in the pool or lapping up water by its shores, but fewer than he would have expected.

“Not too many dinosaurs here right now,” he observed, “Maybe word’s gotten around about Screech and Thud getting into the valley last night, and everyone’s being cautious.”

Guido shuddered at Pangaea’s mention of the sharpteeth. “I’d rather not think about that,” he commented.

Pangaea shrugged. “Let’s drink, then,” he said, “My mouth’s too dry to talk any longer, anyway.”

He leaned down to take a mouthful of water, and paused, unsure for a moment of how exactly he was supposed to drink as a Microraptor. His conundrum was easily solved, however; he simply watched Guido drink, scooping his lower jaw through the water and raising his head up again slightly to swallow. Copying Guido’s drinking technique, Pangaea had soon quenched his thirst.

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

In the Mysterious Beyond, Screech woke, stood up, and stretched. He walked over to the threehorn carcass and set to work stripping the bones of the few remaining scraps of meat that still clung to them. As he ate, he noticed that Red Claw was already up.

“Mornin’, Red Claw,” Screech grunted through a mouthful of rib flesh, “What’re your plans for today?”

"It's sounds fair, but could you describe this bamboo thing for me first?" Claw said "And if I stumble upon it or if I meet someone who knows where to find it, then I will tell you." he shook Chronicler's hand.

"However, I wonder why don't you ask for help someone who actually knows this Valley? I came here yesterday, so it may take a lot of time for me to find bamboo..."

Kor · **Reply #710 on:** November 01, 2009, 05:05:18 PM

"Do you have enough treestars or would you like a little more?" Grandpa Longneck asked Littlefoot while smiling his usual warm smile.

Flapper got to to some water and squat down next to the water. He then started to use both of his cupped hands to drink, thinking that it may be best to do this position since he was more alert for any sort of surprise that may happen.

The Chronicler · **Reply #711 on:** November 01, 2009, 06:45:21 PM

"What's 'bamboo'?" asked Ruby.

Chronicler turned back to Claw and said, "I'm not good at explaining things. Maybe you could describe it anybody who would want to help you, that might make things easier. And if you must know, I'm planning to use the bamboo for various purposes, so I figured I might as well help you out and sharpen one bamboo pole that you can use to catch fish more easily. But before I can do any of that, I'll need a cutting tool, because that'll obviously be needed to do all the cutting."

"That makes sense," said Ruby. "But what 'cutting tool' do you have in mind?"

Chronicler turned to Ruby and said, "I'm not an expert on geology, but if I remember correctly, there is one type of rock that would be perfect for such a task. We're likely going to find it near the Smoking Mountain. Do you think you can take me there?"

Ruby was uncertain at first, but eventually agreed.

Chronicler turned back to Claw and said, "Alright, after we're finished breakfast, Ruby and I will go find a rock that will help me cut the bamboo, while you try to find where some of it grows. Sound like a plan?"

Belmont2500 · **Reply #712 on:** November 01, 2009, 06:59:00 PM

At first Belmont was thinking of going to Littlefoot's nest,paying him and his grandparents a visit after all he had been dying to have a conversation with them but Belmont knew that they we're probably just getting ready for today so he would let the oppertunity come in time right now he was going to pay Bron and Shorty a visit and maybe talk about the events of last night.

Myrkin · **Reply #713 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:49:29 PM

Claw almost wanted to ask "How am I going to describe bamboo to somebody else, if you couldn't describe it to me?", but he decided to stay silent. Maybe what he scarcely remembered about this plant will be enough to find it. Yeah... Fool's hope.

"What is a 'geology'?" Chomper asked confused by unknown word.

"Exactly. You use so many words, than no-one who lives here understand." Claw said with sly smile "I wonder if you know what the word 'bionicle' means, hmm?" he asked. He thought that what he said might sound a bit too theatrically, but it was still a way to subtly inform Chronicler who or rather what he really was. Assuming of course, that the fastrunner was a human too, of which Claw was quite convinced by this point...

Amaranthine · **Reply #714 on:** November 02, 2009, 01:30:54 AM

Red Claw realized before Screech said a word that he was awake, but he didn't say this so he simply replied while "looking" in the other way, "Just the usual, hunting, preying, and all that. Why? Do you have any plans?"
---------------
Mr. Three Horn was done with his meal and he proclaimed, "I'll be heading to where the longnecks are, you girls enjoy your breakfast. I'll be back." He nuzzled his daughters and mate, and then he went away to find Grandpa Longneck.

Meanwhile, Amy held the dead fish in her hand and replied to Anna, "Well you probably have seen me before...just as a different creature..." She grinned. "Are you guys hungry?" As if answering her question though, she saw Spike munching on some greens.
-----------
Rebecca waited for her children to eat and then she could find food for herself.

"Do you kids have any plans today?" She asked them.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #715 on:** November 02, 2009, 02:01:57 AM

"Actually, we just ate. I don't mind of ya eat in front of me though, if that's what you're wonderin'," Anna replied.

"I am still full too, yep yep yep," Ducky chirped before she looked at her brother. "Spike is always up for food, though. He is, he is," she giggled.

Pangaea · **Reply #716 on:** November 02, 2009, 02:41:51 AM

Screech uttered a snorting sound equivalent to a shrug. “If there wasn’t anything you wanted us to do, I might as well stay here until this carcass has been stripped bare.” He picked another scrap of meat out from inbetween the threehorn’s ribs. Red Claw’s kind ate a lot, but their large, broad muzzles weren’t much good for picking bones completely clean of meat (not without ingesting the bones themselves, anyway). This meant that no matter how much Red Claw ate from a large kill, Screech and Thud could always find substantial leftovers. There were still enough scraps left on this threehorn to keep them both well fed for at least another day. Food was not a thing to be wasted in the Mysterious Beyond.

The Chronicler · **Reply #717 on:** November 02, 2009, 09:32:15 AM

Chronicler chuckled at Claw's comment. "It seems you know too much about me," he said.

"What's he talking about?" asked Ruby.

"I'll explain later," said Chronicler. He then started taking some sweet bubbles from the bush. "Now, I'm not sure how long it'll take for me to find and work on that rock I'll need, so I'll take the rest of my breakfast and eat it on the way over."

"That's a good idea, Chronicler," said Ruby, who started to also take some sweet bubbles. "If you need to go somewhere, eating while walking can save a lot of time, a lot of time it can save."

"Hey, what good are arms if they can't carry food?" joked Chronicler. He then said to Claw and Chomper, "Well, see ya later." Chronicler and Ruby then began heading to the Smoking Mountain.

As the two gliders finished their drink, Guido attempted to make small talk with Pangaea. “So, uh...how did you sleep last night?” he asked.

Pangaea took one last gulp of water before he answered. “Pretty good,” he said, wiping his beak and lower jaw with a wing to dry them, “Although...” He contorted his face thoughtfully, as if trying to squeeze a memory out of his head. “...I did have a rather strange dream. Uh...sleep story, I mean.”

“What was it about?” Guido asked curiously.

“Well, I don’t recall the specific details, but then, that’s pretty much the case with all my sleep stories. I dreamt that I was back in my own universe again, living my old life, going to classes, watching movies with my brothers, visiting the GOF; all that stuff. But I was still a dinosaur. And even weirder, no one else seemed to pay any attention to the fact. It was when I noticed that no one else noticed that I was a dinosaur that I woke up.”

He shrugged. “Again, pretty typical of my sleep stories: once I become conscious enough to start thinking about what’s happening, I snap out of the sleep story.”

Belmont2500 · **Reply #719 on:** November 02, 2009, 05:00:26 PM

Shorty was among the longnecks in Bron's herd and soon he tackled Belmont as soon as he walked by "Shorty ,you need to stop doing that" Belmont said as he got up, Shorty merely chuckled at the fact he managed to surprise Belmont so easily as always "I see your back Belmont" Bron said as he walked over "yeah, about what the heck happened last night before the meeting starts" Belmont replied "meeting?" Bron asked,confused "yeah,I heard there's gonna be a meeting" Belmont replied .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ali had left her herd's settlement and walked towards Littlefoot's nest, she and Littlefoot hadn't spoken in awhile , once she got to the nest she yelled "Littlefoot" the moment she saw the leader of the gang.
