The Great Valley Dinosaurs

Once she got far away from the tea party, Merida looked back and said, "Well, I've had enough nonsense! I'm going home! Straight home!"

As she began walking away, she said, "That bat. Who cares where he's going anyway? Why, if it hadn't been for him, I..."

She stopped talking when she noticed a gray sign that had "Great Valley" written on it in black letters. "Great Valley. Hmm, curious. I don't remember this." she said, as she turned away from the sign, unaware of Dana and Dinah, who were wearing glasses, staring at her.

"Now, let me see."

Dinah jumped on Merida's face, and she gasped when she spotted Chomper, who was holding a mirror in his mouth. When she looked into it, Chomper looked like he was wearing glasses because of Dinah.

She placed Dinah on the tree branch next to Chomper as she said, "Uh, no, no, please. No more nonsense."

She walked past them, and came up to a log as she said, "Now, if I came this way. I should go back this way!"

She climbed over the log and accidently stepped on Topsy's tail as he said, "Ouch!"

"Oh, I beg your pardon!" Merida said, as Topsy and his other five grandchildren went over to a lake. Topsy jumped in the water and paddled away as Topsy said, "I won't go so easy on you next time!"

He then jumped in the water, and followed his grandchildren.

The ripples in the water woke up Nod, who was holding a drum, and Mutt, who was holding a pair of cymbals, and they jumped on waterlilies as they played the drum and cymbals.

As Merida stepped on the stepping stones, she said, "Goodness. When I get home, I shall write a book about this place. If I...If I ever do get home."

Then she looked over a log to see Papa Flyer, Mama Flyer, Pterano, Rinkus, and Sierra taking a shower in a small waterfall.

"Oh, umm, excuse me!" she said, as she got Papa Flyer, Mama Flyer, Pterano, Rinkus, and Sierra's attention, "Um, could one of you tell me..."

She was interrupted when Papa Flyer, Mama Flyer, Pterano, Rinkus, and Sierra screeched as flew ran away, sat on a branch above Merida, and glared down at her. She chuckled nervously as she said, "Uh. Haha. Never mind."

As she wandered around through the forest, she said, "Oh dear. It's getting dreadfully dark. And nothing looks familiar."

She looked to her left to see Grandma Longneck, who was digging through the dirt with her snoot. "I shall certainly be glad to get out of..."

She tried to say something else, but she bumped into Hyp, who was holding a bird cage with Ichy and Dill inside it. Hyp opened the cage door, and Ichy and Dill flew/ran out. Hyp chased after them, and he it them in the cage as Ichy and Dill landed inside the bird cage.

Then Ruby, who was holding an accordion, woke up and called out to the other dinosaurs. As she flew down at Merida, she ducked, and then Ruby flew away, still playing the accordion.

"It would be so nice if something would make more sense for a change." Merida said.

Moments later, she came across Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, and Ducky nailing gray signs to a tree with hammers, and Ducky's brothers and sisters wrote words on each sign in black letters with pencils.

As they walked away, Namine looked at the signs, and said, "Don't step on the pteranodons. The pteranodons?"

Suddenly, Petrie and his brothers and sisters popped out of the ground, circled around Merida, and got together to form an arrow as they walked. Merida looked ahead to see Petrie and his siblings pointing at a path as she said, "Oh! A path!"

As she ran down the path, a vision of Madellaine appeared in sepia. Merida said, "Oh, thank goodness. Why, I just knew I'd find one sooner or later! Oh. If I hurry back, I might even be home in time for dinner with my parents Quasimodo and Madellaine and my brothers Taran and Chuckie Finster!" Then a vision of Koda also appeared in sepia as she said, Oh, won't Koda be happy to see me! Oh, I just can't wait till I...Oh!"

She stopped when she saw Grandpa Longneck sweeping the path away with his tail. He stopped, walked behind Merida, and continued to sweep the path.
