01x08 - The Hollow Tree/Badge of Courage

[bunniefuu]

Christy's taking his morning bath. Yeah,

I'll get

hungry for breakfast. Hey,

Amber!

Did you borrow some grass from my nest

last night?Me?What did I do with that?

Oh no, oh no, no This is terrible!

What?No breakfast!

Lilyberry's all

gone! Oh, is that all?Poor Scat need

healthy breakfast. Hey,

maybe the same thing that took my nest

grass took your lilyberries, Scat. For

once, you may be right, Flap, look. Those

are weird footprints. And they go to

the lilyberry bush. They go everywhere

around here. I hope it isn't those water

hunters migrating south down the river.

You mean... them?

Scat, hope they don't come on shore to

hunt. What's that?

I'll see. Blabber,

no! Ow! Yeah, you got me,

Blap. I knew that.

What's going on?Someone's been stealing

our things in the middle of the night.

Left these tracks all over the place.

Hey, this is great. Let's see where they

lead. Hope it doesn't lead to Water

Hunter.

Well, whoever it is must live in the

great hollow tree. Well, let's get him

out here where we can see him. Oh, no,

here he goes again. Hey,

you in there! Come on out, whoever you

are. We want our things back. As if

that's gonna work.

This is going to work just great. We'll

catch him in the act.

All we got to do is wait till he steps in

the noose and pull. Golly, that's

a great idea, Flapper. Yeah, but

Crusty said we should take turns staying

up to wait and see if this creature comes

back. He said nothing about catching him.

Yeah, Flapper idea too risky.

Relax. You guys want to find out who's

stealing our stuff, don't you?I guess.

Then leave it to me. Here, Scat, you take

the first watch. Oh.

Scat not fall

asleep. Ow!

What's

that?Scat!

Scat, you okay?What happened?

He's getting away!

Come on, follow me!

I gotcha! Can't

run away from me!

Clap, what happened?He closed the

door on me.

Gotta give him credit, though. He outran

me. I don't think he's dangerous. He

didn't try to hurt us. He ran.

Gosh, maybe he's just cute of us.

Gee, Shiler, you might be right. If

that's true, we've got to convince him

we're friendly. Shiler can do that.

Me?Sure. If that creature's shy,

who better to talk to him than Shiler?Oh,

gosh.

Hello?If he's not out of there in five

minutes, I'm going in.

Hello?Uh, hi.

You're not gonna hurt me, are you?

Me?Oh, gosh, no.

What are you doing here?You see,

I fled the river because of all those

water hunters passing through. They eat

land fish like me. Oh, yeah.

My friend Presty told us about them.

Are you sick?I don't know.

I've been feeling kind of weak. My name's

Shiloh. What's yours?I'm

Dippo. I'm sorry I took your food, but I

couldn't let anyone see me. Why?

Because... I'm a land fish, and

dinosaurs always think that I'm ugly.

They don't like being around me.

Shyler!

Oh no! Black Boo,

what are you doing here?

Making sure everything's okay. Is this

the creature?An amphibian?

That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen!

Look at that head. Hey, buddy, you got

your wings in the wrong place.

See?I'm sorry, I'm

sorry. It's just it...

That

head! That was a very nice flapper.

Dipple wing!

Ohh I gotta go tell the other...

I'm sorry. My friend didn't mean it.

Yes, he did. Land creatures always

make fun of me. That's why I have to hide

in this tree. Now go away.

You don't sound so good. Why don't you

come back with me?No,

I don't want to be laughed at.

You'll never come out of that tree now,

Crusty. He's too scared of us.

It's all Flapper's fault. Now don't be

too harsh, I remember. Landfish have

always been laughed at unjustly.

Flapper's not the first. So what do we do?

That storm's gonna be nasty. Gosh, I

hope Dippo will be okay. He sounded

kind of sick. That's the problem, son.

Land fish can't live on land for too

long. They need to be in water too. Oh

no, I gotta help them. Not now,

not with a storm coming. Yeah, we gotta

take shelter.

Amber's right. You can all stay in my

cave until it blows over.

I gotta go back.

Come on in, Charlotte. Tyler?

Dippo! Dippo?

We gotta get to Shiloh before something

happens to him! And to his friends!

Don't worry, I'll save them both!

Dimple! HuhDimple! Slash! Oh, no! Help!

What's he doing here?He'll get

I can't get any closer, it's too

dangerous! I hope

Flapper comes through this time! I'm

gonna fall! Dipple! I'm coming!

I gotcha!

d*ck, Amber, over here!

Shiloh, you all right?Dipo's inside.

We gotta help him.

Please, that'll be okay.

There. That probably feels a

lot better. Yeah,

sure does. Thanks. Now that

the storm washed away the water hunters,

I can go home. Well,

always remember, Dippo, we're your

friends. That goes for me too,

OK?Gee, I didn't think anyone

would care about me, since I'm so ugly

and all. You're not ugly, Dippo.

Anyone who did what you did to help

Shyler is, well, great. Oh.

Come on, guys. Don't you want to see the

big firetop blow?Who says it's going

to blow tonight?Crusty says the firetop

mountains blow all the time. And the

biggest of them all is Old Thundertop.

Gosh, Ding, you don't think we'll get

hurt, do you?Get

tired. But we're almost there. You

guys aren't scared, are you?What's that?

It's all gonna flow! Big

bang! We're gonna be hooked!

Oh! Carly, I knew it!

Hey, I'm not scared. I'm gonna go take a

look. I know. We'll come back

tomorrow when it's safer. Come on,

Hey! Go away! Leave me alone!

Darn Firebob! Whoops! Oh,

no, I'm stuck! Now look what you've made

me do!

Let's see if we can help Dig! Have

all the lousy luck! Oh, great,

now I'll get roasted!

Don't worry, we'll get you out.

Hey guys, I've got some good news and

some bad news.

The good news is the rumbling isn't from

Old Thunder Top. And the bad news?

It's from a stampeding herd of meat

eaters heading this way. What?And they

should be here any minute.

You got sent to this. Now what?

Well, I guess it's up to me.

Skin, Shiloh, help!

Hurry!

Hurry, behind the logs!

Oh, it was nice snowing, you guys!

Phew, they're gone. They are?

We go home now, right?It's too late,

Scat. Besides, we can't leave fearless

leaders stuck here. We'd better camp

overnight and head out in the morning.

Ohh If I'm unstuck by then.

Scat's help unstuck Bing.

Who's that?I'm scared.

Just think, we would have been home by

now if we didn't listen to Dink. Well, I

I just thought you'd like to see the fire

top. Since

this place is so dangerous, someone

should stand guard. Okay, okay

I'll stand guard. You can all sleep and

I'll let you know if anything happens.

Who's there?

Go away, whoever you are! I'm warning

you! I've got big teeth, and boy, am

I hungry! Really hungry!

Please don't eat me.

Eat you?Why would I eat you?I just

thought you were something else. What are

you doing out here all alone?My name is

Short Spike. My mom and dad are trapped

out there. They sent me to get help,

but I haven't found anybody.

You found me. My name is Dig. Why don't

you show me where they are?

You promise you won't eat them?

Promise. You mean they're

trapped somewhere near Old Thundertop?

They got stuck in a rockslide.

Daddy says the big firetop is gonna blow.

Oh, what if I never see him again?

Don't worry, little guy. I'll find him.

You go back to my friends and stand

guard. If I'm not back soon, wake them

up. Go

ahead. What have

I gotten myself into?Oh,

brother.

Hey, it's not bad! Wait,

I know you. You're the one who got my

foot stuck. Your

tree?Mm-hmmWell, I

didn't mean to run into your home. I'd

call us even, Firebug.

Hey, maybe you can help me. Have you seen

a family of Spikebacks and the Firetops?

Great, you can show me where they are.

Come on. I don't

think I'll ever find Short Spike's

parents in time. I just can't do

anything right.

Aren't you coming?

And what's got into you?

Hey, you found them. Trapped

on old Thunder Top. Let's

go.

We got to get those spike bags out of

here.

Oh no! I can't get across.

Clock is headed this way. Maybe this is

too dangerous. Maybe we should just head

home. That family will be

okay. Oh, wait for

me! You can't

just leave him there. But how do I get

across?

Hold on, I'm coming!

Don't give up! I'll get you

out of here!

I did it! Oh, how did you find us?

Your son short spikes at me. Oh, then

he's okay. Yeah, but we won't be if you

don't move fast. Follow me!

Quick, cross the rock.

Wait, let me go first to make sure it's

safe. Darn, I

can't tell if it got cracked or not. I

wish I had some light.

Firepug! So you couldn't stay away, huh

Thanks, Firepug. Now I can see.

There are no cracks. Come on, it's safe.

Don't look down.

Firebug! Keep going. I'll get Firebug.

Firebug! Are you all right?

Climb onto my nose. Quick. Hang

on!

Mom, Daddy, you're all right.

Your friend Dink saved us. Thank you,

Dink. You're a very brave dinosaur.

Well, I couldn't have done it without

Firebug's help.

Do you think, when I grow up, I'm going

to be just like you?

We better go. We'll have to find our herd

again and tell them we're okay.

Goodbye and be careful.

All I want to do now is get some sleep.

Oh, boy. Sleeping on Doody Dink?

Yeah, for all we know, Thunder Top could

have blown. Yeah, or meat

eaters gets us. Golly, you mean we

might have been all eaten up?Yeah, what

would you do without a stink?Get a little

more sleep.
