The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration Page #3

And then some others

have joined up with us.

And then some more,

and some more.

In time we were a herd.

You mean,

you are the leader

of a whole herd?

Yeah,

I guess you could say that.

Wow.

And look at you.

You have grown up to be

a fine young longneck.

Just like I'd hoped

you would be.

Your mom would be proud.

She'd be proud of you too.

Hey Dad?

Yes, Littlefoot?

Was Shorty one of the

young ones you found

wandering in the wilderness?

Yes, he was.

Most of the others have been

adopted by grown-ups

in the herd, but not Shorty.

Hey, Shorty!

Hey, nice hit.

Uh.

You know, anytime you wanna

be with my dad and me...

Listen pal, I can be

with Bron anytime I want to.

You got that?

I know him better than you do.

Well I...

Yeah, and he likes me better.

Oh yeah?

Well, he is my dad.

Au, that hurt.

Wanna do something about it?

No thanks.

That's what I tought.

Coward! Baby! Huh?

Anyway that's what

my sleepstory was like.

Pritty misterious.

What do you think it means?

Don't realy know.

But it put me in mind

of a story my granddady

used to tell me.

It seems that a long long

time ago the Night Circle

got jelous of the Great Circle.

What do you mean jelous?

Jelous why?

All on account on how the

Great Circle is so much brighter

and folks stay awake for it,

but sleep when the

Night Circle is up there.

Things like that.

You better keep moving kids,

not safe to stand

at one place too long.

Anyway so the Night Circle grabbed the Great Circle

and threw it from the sky

so it would smash into the world below.

But there just so happened

to be a herd of longnecks standing down there,

and they streched their necks up,

and cought the Great Circle

on their heads

and they shoved it right back

up into the sky.

How about that?

So that's why,

to this very day,

we have such long necks,

so we can put the Great Circle

back up in the sky.

Longnecks saved

the world? Huh?

Well that's the story.

Whether or not,

you belive it it's up to you.

Kids, run!

Spike, come on!

Let's get out of here.

Hurry, hurry!

That looks like

a pretty bad burn, Pat.

Would have been a lot worse

when hadn't been for you kids.

I owe you my thanks.

That'll slow me down

some now, you best be

moving on without me.

If you keep heading toward

those hills, I think you will

find your friend.

We can not go without you.

No, no, no.

Me no think so neither.

Not children,

there's no sense

in all of us missing,

well I don't know what,

but I got a feeling

it's going to be spectacular.

We talked it over and

we are not going without you.

We rather just stop right here.

Well, what do you know,

once in my live

I can't take up a word to say.

What, do you think,

is going to happen?

I don't know, Littlefoot.

Something wonderful.

That's just what Grandma said.

Well, great minds

think alike.

Yeah.

You love your grandparents,

don't you?

Well, yeah, sure.

I mean they take care of me.

A kind of like me and my herd.

Have you thought about

what happens now with us?

What do you mean?

Now that I found you.

I don't want to loose you.

Oh. Yeah.

I know. Me neither.

You don't have to decide

anything now.

Hey, how come

we haven't seen

any sharpteeth?

Sharpteeths are cowards.

Look how many others there are.

A sharptooth would never

attack a group this size.

Remember, they only hount

in twos and threes.

Your friend Sue

can handle that many herself.

Huh. Yeah.

Come on dear,

let's go to the watering hole.

Littlefoot.

Sorry, I woke you up.

I just... I just felt like

sleeping here tonight.

We missed you too,

Littlefoot.

You know, Littlefoot, it...

it's... it's only natural

that you want to be with your father right now.

Your grandma and I love you

no matter where you are.

We just want you to be happy.

Shorty, hey Shorty!

Oh, it's you.

Yeah, it's me.

Where are you going?

What's it to you?

It's just that...

It's still kinda dark,

and you're after all alone.

My dad wouldn't like it.

All right. Like he'd care.

Now that he has found you,

he'll ignore me

like everybody else.

Shorty you'll always be

special to Bron. You know him

all your live almost.

I just met him.

I was kinda hoping, I tought,

may be we could be like - you know - like brothers.

Come on, let's go back.

Yeah!

Something is about to happen.

I know, I can feel it.

Petrie!

Where did you come from?

Littlefoot,

me knew that you...

Me see you from way far

and me say that Littlefoot,

but the others say no belive me so...

Others? The whole gang?

Are they here too?

Oh, sure. All here.

Be here will soon.

That be then now.

That not them.

What are you guys doing here?

Running away.

Run for it kids,

I will keep him busy.

Hold it!

We can't leave him,

he is a friend of ours.

Good idea.

Take that!

Come on! Let's go help him.

Littlefoot.

Come on, Pat, hurry!

Up here, coward!

Dad!

Did you say dad?

Thanks stranger. Come on!

Move along, move along young ones.

It's OK.

We should be safe now.

Run kids,

get out of there!

What is it?

What's out there?

Oh no.

It's three sharpteehts now.

And Littlefoot.

Oh no! I'm coming, Dad!

Littlefoot, be careful!

Don't go,

sharpteeths are out there!

So is our grandson.

Littlefoot,

help your grandpa!

I can handle this one.

Oh my... After all these

years we still make

a prity good team.

Yes, we do.

Oh no! Sara, Pat!

They need help.

Wow! That was

a great move.

You are not so bad yourself

for a longneck.

Littlefoot, are you allright?

Yeah.

You and your friends

get up to the top.

It's time.

Hang on, Dad,

they are coming to help us.

I do not think so.

What happening?

Where they are going?

It's no look good.

What is it?

What do they see?

I don't know.

Hurry, Littlefoot,

it's starting.

Come on guys

hop on!

Now don't look straith

to the Great Circle.

Might hurt your eyes.

Wow!

It's just like

in my sleepstory.

The Great Circle is going dark

and then it's going to fall.

We got to catch it.

Hah. That was incredible.

I told you,

it would be

something wonderful.

Dad, we did it.

We did it.

We all did.

I don't belive it, longnecks

saved the world.

This is gonna kill my dad.

Well kids, it was a pleasure

to travel with you.

I'm glad we fell in together,

but I think

it's about time for me to...

Pat, wait we a...

We had an idea.

Go on you ask.

OK. We thinking maybe

if you don't mind... I mean

if you wanna... Maybe...

Speed it up kids,

I'm not getting any younger.

I got to be mosey and on.

That just it. Mosey with us.

Come again.

That is the idea.

Come to the Great Valley.

There is a lot's of room.

And no sharptooths neither.

Well I'd be...

You really think

I could?

Sue?

Does this mean, you won't

be walking back with us?

Yeah. Sorry grandma.

Actually,

I'm not sorry at all.

It was wonderful

to meat you dear.

Have a lovely journey home.

You too. Bye.

Doesn't it hurt?

What's the trick?

The trick is

not minding.
