A/N: This is part four of my series. Only one more book to go after this.

Ever since Bianca got banished; Atticus hasn't been taking it very well. He's been having second thoughts about staying in the Great Valley; there were too many memories of Bianca; even though she was evil; she was still his little girl. Just then, Topsy came out of hiding in some bushes; he wandered over to the pond where Atticus was standing.

"Is something wrong?" Topsy asked.

Atticus sighed.

"How could you be talking to me? I thought...uh, never mind," Atticus trailed off from his thought and tried to walk away.

Despite his age, Topsy managed to catch up and jump out in front to prevent Atticus from leaving.

"You thought what? That I hate you because of what Bianca did?" Topsy wondered.

Atticus nodded as a tear escaped his eye.

"If I had've known...no one knew...that Bianca was evil," Atticus whispered at the word evil.

Topsy sighed. He walked over and rubbed his chin on the nape of the clubtail's neck in a form of an embrace. They broke apart moments later.

"Do you feel better now?" Topsy asked.

"A bit; but, it'll take a long time to get over Bianca's banishment even with emotional support," Atticus admitted.

Topsy nodded.

"Just remember one thing; don't blame yourself for what Bianca did to me; it was her own choice; and it got her banished," Topsy told him.

"I know; but, it still hurts to see someone get banished; especially if they're your own flesh and blood," Atticus admitted.

"You have the whole herd to help you through this; I've had more than my fair share of heartbreak; I have outlived two wives, lost a son-in-law, a brother-in-law, my identical twin brother; I don't even know anyone on my dad's side of the family or if they're alive; my dad might still be alive; but, my mother is dead; the only member of my mom's family alive is my grandma Sally; and I recently lost my childhood best friend Jenna," Topsy explained.

"Is Jenna Littlefoot's mom?" Atticus asked.

"Yeah," Topsy answered.

Atticus sighed.

"I'm sorry you had to suffer through all that loss," Atticus said.

"It's not your fault; death is a part of life; but, as long as you keep the memories of dearly departed friends and family in your heart; they're never gone," Topsy explained.

By the end of that explanation, both males had tears streaming down their faces. However, both of them felt like a huge weight was lifted off their shoulders after they talked about their struggles with the changes in the herd.
