The kids were walking together in the Great Valley playing Toss the Seed. The seed went sailing out of sight. “Where could it be?” said Littlefoot. “I think it went that way.” said Ruby. The Fast Runner went around a corner and looked for it. She saw a Yellow Belly lying on the ground. The seed was next to him. “Are you ok?” she asked, concerned.
“This thing conked me on the head.” said the Yellow Belly. “Sorry about that.” said Ruby, blushing. “Ruby, did you find it?” came Littlefoot’s voice. “Yes, and I find a Yellow Belly.” said Ruby. “Yellow Belly?” said Littlefoot. He and the others came into view. Doofah walked toward them. “Hello there. Glad to see you again.”
[Theme song: “All I see is the day in front of us. All I see is the day in front of us. Burning bright with a new-born sun. Burning bright with a new-born sun. Come follow me. Hills to climb and plains to roam
Oh, streams to follow all the way home
To the Land Before Time
Before time.”]
“What are you doing here?” asked Cera. “We were helping our friends here get to Berry Valley. However, this really big Sharptooth came after us. He had one yellow eye and one red eye. He had this red claw.” said Loofah. “You mean Red Claw?” said Chomper.
Loofah, Doofah, and Foobie and the other Yellow Bellies jumped back. “Sharptooth!” they cried. They turned and ran. “Wait, come back, I’m not going to hurt you.” said Chomper. The Yellow Bellies turned and looked at Chomper. “You’re not?” said Foobie.
“No, I’m a nice Sharptooth. I’m friends with Littlefoot.” said Chomper. The Yellow Bellies came back. “Perhaps you can tell that other guy to leave us alone.” said Doofah. “Red Claw won’t listen to me. He wants me dead.” said Chomper.
“We tried up with our tush and look like a bush. Didn’t work. The ground was rocky.” said Loofah. “What?” said Chomper. They moved up their tush and looked like a bush. Chomper snickered.
“Very clever disguise. However, there is another problem with that. One you didn’t think of.” said Chomper. “What?” said Loofah “Your smell.” said Chomper.
“Smell? I don’t smell that bad, do I?” said a Yellow Belly, sniffing his armpit. “PU! I guess he was right!” said the Yellow Belly. Chomper tried hard not to laugh.
“No, that’s not what I meant.” he said. “A Sharptooth will smell you and chase you based on it. It doesn’t matter if you look like a bush if he has your scent. Our sniffers can find you anyway.” “So, what do we do?” said another Yellow Belly. “You need to smell like something else other than you.” said Chomper.
“How do we do that?” asked a Yellow Belly. A while later, they were rubbing berries on themselves. “Good. That ought to mask your scent.” said Chomper. A Yellow Belly started licking off the berries. “Mmmmm.” she said. “No, no, no!” said Chomper, irked.
“Mmmmmm, berries.” said other Yellow Bellies. They started to lick the berries off of themselves too. Chomper groaned. “This is going to be harder than I thought.” he said in annoyance.
Sometime later, they were once more covered in berries. Chomper whacked one of the Yellow Bellies, who was about to lick himself. “Stop it!’ he said. “Sorry.” said the Yellow Belly. PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBBBBBBBBBTTTTT! A Yellow Belly tooted. Chomper gagged. “Yuck!” he said. “Sorry.” said the Yellow Belly, embarrassed.
The Yellow Bellies started to dance. “What are they doing now?” asked Chomper, bewildered.
“They like to dance.” said Littlefoot.
“Except those ones over there. They no dance.” said Petrie, pointing at some Yellow Bellies who weren’t dancing.
“They don’t know how.” said Loofah.
“Well, let’s get to Berry Valley.” said Littlefoot.
“Do you even know the way?” asked Ruby. Littlefoot nodded.
“We’re going to go adventuring.” sang Littlefoot.
“Adventuring?” sang Loofah.
“Adventuring?” sang Doofah.
“I’m goin’ to go adventuring
and who knows what I’ll find.” sang Littlefoot.
“Will we be able to find some way
to get to Berry Valley and keep Red Claw away?
If he finds us it will wreck our day.” sang Cera.
“I sure hope not.” sang Chomper.
“Will we go near a water fall?” sang Ducky.
“Will me meet Sharpteeth big or small?” sang Petrie.
“I hope we don’t meet them at all.” sang Ruby.
“I hope there’s lot of berries that we find!” sang a Yellow Belly.
“And we leave all those pesky Sharpteeth behind!” sang another Yellow Belly.
“So if you go adventuring, adventuring
There’s just one thing
You know what you are going to have to do?
You’re gonna have to take us all
with you.” sang all but Littlefoot. “We want to go adventuring too.” the others sang, ending the song.
“Let’s get going?” said Littlefoot.
“Going where?” said a voice. It was Mr. Threehorn.
“Hello. I don’t think I’ve met you before.” said Loofah.
“Somehow, I think that’s a good thing.” remarked Topps, eying Loofah with annoyance.
“They’re going to Berry Valley with us.” said Doofah.
