"It's strange really…" Cera mused. "I mean, overall the ways we court are quite the same: the males have to impress the females. All that despite the fact that we are completely different."
"You think Sharpteeth are the same?" Ducky wondered, splashing in the water with her tail absentmindedly. The small waves lapped at the shore.
"Might be." Littlefoot said. "In the end Chomper was just like us, only eating meat instead of leaves."
"It's strange to think about…" Rana tilted her head in thought. "No offense, but Sharpteeth always were monsters and suddenly they are just like us?"
"Aside from their diet." Petrie added. "Believe me: our grown-ups had quite the problem with that too."
"Particularly my father." Cera rolled her eyes and sighed. "Remember how he told Chomper he would fall apart?"
"He was so upset about that." Ducky agreed.
"And then Petrie forgot he was terrified of the Sky Puffies to save Chomper's tooth." Littlefoot chuckled. "Dove straight through them."
"You are afraid of Sky Puffies?" Rana demanded incredulously.
"I Was." Petrie quickly corrected. "I got over it quite a while ago."
"When he saved that tooth." Littlefoot pointed out.
Petrie glared at him, a move that was more hilarious than threatening since Littlefoot could easily step on him and not even notice if that happened.
"Well, it hardly matters now, does it?" Paro answered.
"Besides, didn't we come here to hear the Swimmer's tale?" Trike supported him. "Personally I am very curious as to how they do it, since they don't have any things to do."
"Excuse me?" Ducky demanded. The call of her crest sounded in the cool air, echoing back from the surrounding trees.
"You make music?" Tega dryly asked.
The characteristic sound of the call sounded again: 'Yep, yep, yep'…
