Chapter 1: A new day at the Great Valley
"Littlefoot, time to wake up." Grandma Lockneck bent down her neck in order to nudge her grandson awake.
The Bright Circle had just rosen above the eastern peeks of the great wall surrounding the Great Valley and its inhabitants, protecting them from harm coming from the Mysterious Beyond. The morning air was still cool, but the hot season was just around the corner. And so were festivities to celebrate it...
Littlefoot shifted around in his sleep but otherwise didn't seem to be awake at all.
"Littlefoooot..." the elderly Longneck cooed. "Come on you sleepyhead, only little babies refuse to get up in the morning."
"We may have to carry him to his early morning lesson with Mr. Thicknose," Grandpa Longneck joked as he joined the scene.
"Oh shut up you two..." Littlefoot groaned, unwillingly opening his eyes and stretching his legs. "Like I'm a baby... pfft!"
"Works every time..." Grandma teased.
"Oh why so grumpy, Littlefoot?" Grandpa then asked, obviously enjoying himself, much to the displeasure of his grandson. "What do you think, Grandma? Should we put the old rule back into place that children have to come home before the darkness?"
"Well..."
"Don't you dare..." Littlefoot warned.
"We could..." Grandpa chuckled.
"Aren't you happy that the Bright Circle returned to us like it always does?" Grandma spoke up, wearing a warm smile.
"Oh yes, totally!" Littlefoot rolled his eyes. Under his breath, he muttered. "Like it ever wouldn't..."
"Oh, you never know in this wonderful and mysterious world we live in," Grandpa argued who, in spite of his ever worsening sense of hearing, had picked up what Littlefoot had said.
Getting up, Littlefoot announced. "Well, now that I'm awake, I might as well get going. Knowing Thicknose, he'll be waiting for us already..." The young Longneck rolled his eyes again.
"Eat something before you leave, dear!" Grandma urged him but Littlefoot didn't listen.
"I'll eat on the way there, bye!" With that, he walked away.
Grandma sighed. "Sometimes I wish he was little again..."
Grandpa nodded. "Yes, but that the way things are. Children grow... and elders get even older and frail."
Both Longnecks looked at each other, sharing a hearty fit of laughter.
"Oh you're right, Grandpa. You're so right..." She leaned her neck against his, watching her grandson until he disappeared into the foliage...

Cera felt something softly pushing her against her cheek. Upon opening her eyes, she was met by the blinding rays of the Bright Circle...
"Cera wake up!" Tricia pushed her big sister again.
Cera suddenly felt the urge to ram her against the nearest tree. Nobody dared to wake her up this early in the morning and got away with it. However, she had to admit that she was too lazy to put her plan into action.
"Oh Tricia you little pest," the orange Threehorn moaned. "How about I wake you up in the middle of the night..."
The young pink Threehorn simply wiggled with her tail and giggled.
"Okay, what do you want?" Cera questioned as diplomatic as she could, holding back her anger about being woken up upon seeing her cute little sister. "Just so that you know, Tricia, I'm NOT going to play games with you, got that?"
"Tricia has message from mommy, you get up now and go to Mister Dicknose she said!"
"His name is THICKnose, sweety, not DICKnose!" Cera rightened her, yawning boomingly before getting up. "Riiiight... I need to go to Mister Thicknose today..." Cera now remembered. "Well, I'll go to Mister Thicknose now to see what kind of nonsense he's going to tell us this time! Oh gee..."
"Okay, bye Cera!" Tricia called happily.
Just when Cera had almost left, Tria returned to the nest.
"Morning Cera, did you sleep well?" she asked warmly.
"Do I need to answer that?" Cera remarked sarcastically.
"Tria chuckled. "I see you were successful, Tricia. Good girl!"
The little Threehorn pivotted a few times, pleased of herself.
Meanwhile, Mr. Threehorn let out a loud snore.
"Oh Topsy, you get up too!" Tria shoved her mate with little to no effect.
Cera decided to stay a little longer for she suspected something to happen that would at least mildly entertain her. She knew for sure Thicknose's lesson wouldn't...
"Tooopsy!" Tria tried to reach him with her sweet voice. His only response was yet another snore.
"Tooopsy!" This time her tone was accusing and threatening.
Tricia was entertained to no end by the display. "Daddy, daddy get up! Get up!" She called to support her mum.
Yet, no reaction from the sleeping Threehorn.
Tria considered what else she could try to convince her mate to wake up... and came to a solution.
"Topsy, do you really want Cera to be better in getting up than you? Wouldn't it be a shame for you to lose against her? Think about what the old longneck would say?"
"Oh, nonsense..." Mr. Threehorn babbled in his sleep.
Tria stared at him angrily. "Well, if you insist on doing it the hard way..." The pink Threehorn went a few steps back and subsequently rammed into her mate, pushing him down the cliff next to their nest. "Now he should be awake..." she spoke to herself but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Hey! What was that for?!" Mr. Threehorn yelled from down there, causing all three females to erupt into laughter.
Cera instantly felt a lot better. "I knew this would be entertaining..." she mused. Not feeling up to the argument that was likely to come soon, she quickly took off.
"I need to go now, seeya's!"
"Bye Cera!" Tria replied. "Oh, and don't forget to tell me what you learned!"
"As long as he doesn't tell us about babies or how to take over the world..."
Tria laughed. "Who knows? Have fun!"
Cera rolled her eyes before finally escaping the nest.

Ducky was jumping across a meadow where countless flowers grew. The meadow seemed to extend beyond the horizon. While she knew some flowers, many others were completely alien to her. However, many of these flowers were among the prettiest she had ever seen. Some were pink, others were red, yellow, orange or even purple! And some even wore blossoms of multiple colours.
The swimmer girl inhalated the cool, fresh air through her nose and it smelled wonderful. All the flowers she could see were emitting their very unique smell, reaching her nose as a cocktail of aromatic smells. She hummed in total satisfaction, letting herself fall into the ocean of flowers, closing her eyes, stretching her arms and legs and enjoying the breathtaking smell that greeted her nose.
After a while she opened her eyes again. Suddenly, another Swimmer stood right before her eyes. It was a boy of her age, looking at her coolly, raising his eyebrows. In his hands were huge flowers with red blossoms of complicated build and shape.
Ducky opened her beak in awe – she couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Am I dreaming?" she wondered.
"Hello sweetheart," he spoke up sweetly.
Ducky looked at the boy, examining him. His facial features were perfect, his body was strong and muscular, his body had the brightest shade of green she had ever seen, his crest was long and handsome. On top of that, he had this cool gaze and those blue, sparkling eyes that seemed to scan every inch of her body.
"He is perfect, yes he is!" Ducky thought, falling into a trance, staring at the boy, awestruck.
"You're the sweetest girl I've ever seen," the boy spoke again, approaching Ducky who was frozen on the spot. The boy grabbed her hands softly. Then he whispered into her ears.
"When I saw you, I knew what to do,
I plucked these blossoms only for you.
I confess that I love you,
But I wonder: Do you love me too?"
It was the sweetest thing the young girl had ever heard. Her heart was melting upon hearing them.
"Yep, yep, yep," she whispered without hesitating.
Before Ducky knew what was going on, the boy had pulled her into a tight embrace, placing his beak on hers, kissing her. Despite not knowing what to do, Ducky returned the kiss.
*screech* *screech*
Suddenly, Ducky heard the ever so annoying screeches of the flyers who were greeting the new day as always, being painfully catapulted back into reality.
"Oh, it was just a dream, it was, it was..." she mumbled sleepily with some disappointment in her voice. However, upon feeling the first warm rays of the Bright Circle on her skin, her mood immediately improved and the Swimmer pushed the romantic dream out of her mind.
"Oh, it is morning already, yes it is!" she exclaimed merrily, waking up the rest of her family who didn't already wake up at the sound of the clamorous flyers – except for Spike of course.
"Good morning, children," Ducky's Mother spoke with her usual warm voice, getting a mixed choir of "good morning mommy"'s as a response. Turning to Ducky, she mentioned. "Ducky, remember that you and Spike have an appointment with Mr. Thicknose today."
"I know mommy but I think Spike does not, oh no, no, no," Ducky responded, turning to the snoring Spiketail while chuckling.
"He is sleeping as always..." one of Ducky's siblings stated in a mixture of annoyance and amusement.
"Spiky! Get up!!! We need to GO!!!" Ducky yelled at her little brother, trying to lift him up but obviously failing.
"Spike, you don't want to be late at Mr. Thicknose's lesson, do you?"
Spike showed no reaction whatsoever.
"Spiiiike!" Ducky imitated her mother accurately. "If you do not get up right now, you may not have dinner today, no, no, no!"
All of a sudden, Spike sat up, gazing at Ducky frantically, then anxiously shifting his gaze to his mother.
"That's correct, Spike. If you don't get up now, there will not be any food for you before going to the nest," his mother impended though she couldn't stay serious, seeing the shocked expression of the Spiketail.
Everyone started laughing heartily at the expense of Spike.
"Well, now you are awake so we can go to Mr. Thicknose and you may have your dinner tonight, yep, yep, yep," Ducky told Spike, still giggling.
Spike's gaze shifted to his mother again, looking at her pleadingly.
"If you go to Mr. Thicknose with Ducky, you don't need to fear anything, Spike. I was only joking," she explained, smiling.
At that, Spike instantly relaxed, grinning.
"Well, let us go, Spiky!" Ducky suggested. The Spiketail nodded in response.
"I'm going to assume you will have your breakfast on the way then?" the adult Swimmer asked mischievously.
"Yep, yep, yep!" Ducky replied. "Spike always does that anyway, hehehe."
Her statement got a good portion of her siblings another laughing fit. Spike just grinned.
"Goodbye, mommy!" Ducky called, jumping on Spike's back before waving goodbye.
Her mother and siblings waved the two unlikely siblings their goodbye as well.

"Eww, what's that smell?!"
"Not AGAIN!!!"
"Petrie, are you kiddin' me???"
"You little stinkbug!"
"Sleep somewhere else!"
"I HATE you, Petrie!"
"Petrie..."
Lots of voices were suddenly raining down on the little flyer, rudely disturbing his peaceful slumber. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted with lots of angry faces and one face that couldn't decide whether to be angry or not. Then he realised what had happened...
"Me did it... AGAIN!?!" Embarrassment spread through his body, he started shaking and turned as red as the eye of an angry Sharptooth.
"Petrie... aren't you a bit too old for this?" Mama Flyer spoke to him in a mixture of disappointment and regret. On the one hand, she was a bit mad at her son for continuously having these accidents but she also couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It was something beyond his control after all...
"I, for once, am sick of it! If you ask me, he shouldn't be part of this family anymore!" the most dominant of Petrie's siblings shouted into Petrie's face, his siblings raising their fists angrily.
"Yeah!" some of them yelled in support of the statement their brother made.
"DON'T you ever say that again!" Momma Flyer suddenly yelled. "He's as much part of the family as you!"
"But Mum!" Petrie's siblings retorted in unison.
"No "buts", we'll have a talk about that later..."
"Wait, did you say..." one of Petrie's sibling chuckled. "B-b-butt?!"
"Well, we should whack Petrie's butt if you ask me!" One of Petrie's sisters shouted enthusiastically, both statements causing the group to start roaring and rolling on the floor laughing.
"STOP IT NOW!!!" Petrie's mother screamed, instantly silencing the crowd. "Leave the cave. NOW! I don't want to see any of you until dawn, got that!? ALSO, you'll be home before dark today, no "buts"!!!"
"Hahaha, she said it again!" one of them laughed. The others joined in.
Wrath erupted in the adult Flyer. Uttering a terrifying shriek, she spread her wings, chasing her naughty children out at last. Panting heavily, she eventually turned to Petrie who was still trembling, sitting in his own puddle.
"I am sorry for the behavior of your siblings. They are simply out of control lately..." the female Flyer sighed.
"Me sorry..." Petrie finally spoke quietly.
"I don't blame you, Petrie," she responded, though somewhat harsh. "However, this has to stop! You cannot pee all over the nest forever!"
"But me no know how!" Petrie retorted weakly, tears beginning to fall.
"Neither do I..." His mother started pacing. "One of my sisters was a late wetter as well but it had stopped when she had reached the Time of Great Growing. However, you should reach this time fairly soon, Petrie. Your siblings certainly already have! Hmpff!"
"That be bad?" Petrie sobbed.
"No, considering how your siblings are acting as of late, I'm glad you're not like that... and you better don't become like them!" she answered gruffly. "Anyway, you need to be at Mr. Thicknose's morning lesson. Clean yourself and take a bath before to go there and return home right after the lesson! We need to talk...and I need to clean up the mess you made..."
"O-okay..." Petrie choked back a sob. Getting up, he slowly walked towards the opening of the cave, his head hanging low.
"Oh, and stop crying like a hatchling, Petrie! You're supposed to be looking after girl's at your age, not crying around so cut it out!"
"Me will..." Petrie mumbled before taking off, flying towards a nearby watering hole where he bathed... and cried...

The first thing Chomper noticed, was that smell. It would always be strongest right after sunrise when the food started flying, humming and crawling around everywhere. The bugs, the crawlers, the butter- and fireflies – heck, even those annoying bastards that always sucked your blood... As if on command, his belly started emitting a roar his dad would have been proud of.
Chomper had grown significantly since the end of the Cold Time and so had his hunger – however, his food didn't get bigger at all. It had been months since he had eaten enough to be really full...
"Hmm, I am hungry as always..." Chomper noted sadly. He knew he couldn't feed himself on Flying Buzzers forever, he knew he would have to leave eventually... but he tried to be fine living with his friends for as long as he could.
Usually, Chomper would go out for his morning hunt but today there'd be the lesson with Thicknose before breakfast. That also meant he had to wake up Ruby who was peacefully sleeping to his right. Looking at his friend, however, suddenly Chomper couldn't help but wonder how those thighs, the tail or the belly of Ruby would taste. Fortunately, he caught himself before his mind took over completely.
"No! I mustn't allow this to happen!" he urged himself, knowing that one day he wouldn't be able to stop himself from doing what he had to do. Before he could develop any secondary thoughts, the child within him suddenly came up with a great idea that he instantly put into action...
Ruby suddenly felt a weird sensation on her belly. First, she didn't pay it any attention but then it suddenly turned into a hardcore tickly feeling. Instinctively, she started kicking her legs, protecting her belly by forming a ball out of her body.
"Wake up, Ruby!" Chomper laughed.
"Chomper! This is not funny, not funny it is!" Ruby declared in annoyance. "You do know that I don't like being tickled?"
"Well, that's exactly why I did it!" Chomper replied, sticking out his tongue.
"You little mischievous Sharptooth..." Ruby then teased, forgetting her anger.
"Well, I had to wake you up because we need to go to Mr. Thicknose, right?" Chomper explained himself.
"Oh, do we?" Ruby scratched her head. "Oh right, yes we do. I remember now because if I wouldn't have remembered I wouldn't know we have to go..."
Chomper rolled his eyes. "Whatever, let's go. I wanna catch some food on the way – I'm starving!"
"Yes, we need to go or we may be late, late we may be!" Ruby spoke.

So on this beautiful late spring morning in the Great Valley, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper and Ruby were all heading to Mister Thicknose's early morning lesson, all wondering what crackpot ideas the oldest and wisest resident of the Valley had in store for them this time. However, they would soon realise that the lesson to come would be far more helpful than it first seemed...
"Littlefoot, time to wake up." Grandma Lockneck bent down her neck in order to nudge her grandson awake.
The Bright Circle had just rosen above the eastern peeks of the great wall surrounding the Great Valley and its inhabitants, protecting them from harm coming from the Mysterious Beyond. The morning air was still cool, but the hot season was just around the corner. And so were festivities to celebrate it...
Littlefoot shifted around in his sleep but otherwise didn't seem to be awake at all.

"No! I mustn't allow this to happen!" he urged himself, knowing that one day he wouldn't be able to stop himself from doing what he had to do. Before he could develop any secondary thoughts, the child within him suddenly came up with a great idea that he instantly put into action...
Ruby suddenly felt a weird sensation on her belly. First, she didn't pay it any attention but then it suddenly turned into a hardcore tickly feeling. Instinctively, she started kicking her legs, protecting her belly by forming a ball out of her body.
"Wake up, Ruby!" Chomper laughed.
"Chomper! This is not funny, not funny it is!" Ruby declared in annoyance. "You do know that I don't like being tickled?"
"Well, that's exactly why I did it!" Chomper replied, sticking out his tongue.
"You little mischievous Sharptooth..." Ruby then teased, forgetting her anger.
"Well, I had to wake you up because we need to go to Mr. Thicknose, right?" Chomper explained himself.
"Oh, do we?" Ruby scratched her head. "Oh right, yes we do. I remember now because if I wouldn't have remembered I wouldn't know we have to go..."
Chomper rolled his eyes. "Whatever, let's go. I wanna catch some food on the way – I'm starving!"
"Yes, we need to go or we may be late, late we may be!" Ruby spoke.
>>>
So on this beautiful late spring morning in the Great Valley, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper and Ruby were all heading to Mister Thicknose's early morning lesson, all wondering what crackpot ideas the oldest and wisest resident of the Valley had in store for them this time. However, they would soon realise that the lesson to come would be far more helpful than it first seemed...

BEFORE YOU READ: Well, this happens when inspiration strikes 
So... this is going to be a separate fanfic not in any way related to my other stories (I didn't upload them to DA yet ^^). Unlike my other fanfictions, this one will be trying to focus on being funny and silly while still maintaining a certain degree of seriousness. At least I'll try
I hope writing this is going to get me back into writing my main fics again, yep, yep, yep.
The first chapter may not be extremely interesting yet, but I need some sort of introduction to get into the story and introduce to reader to our main problem: PUBERTY (Reactions so far were overwhelmingly positive though ^^)
Enjoy!

AFTER YOU READ: Well, there you have it. I would like you to tell me if this is somewhat good or if it's crap I think I've already made clear at this point what possible problems the gang may have to deal but the really interesting chapter will be the next one as it will be causing quite some trouble later on in the story ^^
I'd especially like to hear your thoughts on each separate scene. I've tried to put some diversity in there. Also, please tell me if the poem Ducky is being told is any good...
AS of right now, it seems like Petrie and Chomper are the ones in trouble at this point but this is only the first chapter ^^
I also hope I didn't go too far with the jokes I made and the curse words I used here and there. Please tell me if I did...
Okay, so the next chapter may be there rather soon because I'm hooked into the story right now... gotta take advantage of that while it lasts...
