Chapter VII:New and strange creatures part 2

Earth Great Valley 65 million years BC

After two hours the entire Great Valley inhabitants have gathered at Council Rock where they began to discus there current situation. The gang of course were, as always at the edge of Council Rock and listening carefully, without the adults knowing they're there. When they began Grandpa Longneck, as always, was the first to speak and he called out the duckbill (or swimmer if you like),which just happens to be Ducky's mother, to tell them about the new creature she saw:

-Well,it was rather small, about as tall as Littlefoot,-she began-it was pink, it had some kind of fluff on it's head and instead of a tail, it had big blue eyes, and it talked.

-What did it say?-asked Grandpa Longneck with a bit of curiousity

-It asked me my name .And that's when I ran of.

-Was it some kind of sharptooth?-asked Mr. Clubtail.

-Well no, I don't think so.

-Well I say we don't take our chances.-Mr. Treehorn suddenly spoke up.-Who knows how many of them are out there and how dangerous they could be.

Everybody began to chatter between them self some agreeing on Treehorns judgment. Then Grandpa Longneck spoke up:

-Everyone please calm down! Let's not get carried away! We don't know for sure if these new creatures are dangerous at all. They probably just wanted to talk to us and we must have misunderstood them.

-Well I say we stay away from them until we know more about them!-Treehorn said again in his own bossy way-And especially keep the children away from them!

Everyone seemed to agreed with him, even Grandpa and Grandma Longneck. But one Apatosaurus in particular didn't agree with him. Littlefoot snoke of with the others following. When they were far enough from the adults Cera just had to ask her sauropod friend:

-Littlefoot,where are you going?

-I'm going to go and find those creatures.-as he said that the others let out a gasp.

-But Littlefoot, Cera's dad said not to go anywhere near them, no, no, no.-Ducky added with Spike nodding in agreement.

-Yeah, I know, but-Littlefoot began-I'm just thinking about observing them at a distance. You know finding out more about them.

-What?!-Cera asked a bit upset.

-Why not?-Littlefoot-We could find out a lot of things about them and then tell the grownups. Maybe we could even find out why they're here.

-But what if they dangerous?-Petrie

-Then we'll just run for it.-Littlefoot-Anyway we've seen a lot of new creatures before and got to know them. So I say we do the same here to.

There was a breaf moment of silence then Littlefoot spoke again:

-So what do you say?

-Oh, fine! But just at a distance.-Cera signed in defeat and agreed on her friends plan.

-All right then let's go! Littlefoot exclaimed and led the way.
