A new world...Same old faces, Their lives are in our hands...

Cyrix merely nodded his head and sat down and almost immediately was asleep and snoring softly.

Sweetie looked up to Zaine as she asked, "Can I take the first watch? Please, I wanna prove that I can pull my weight in this herd!"

Pearl had to smile at Sweetie's optimism at this chance.
"Sure. I'll even help you...just as soon as I get my hatchlings out of the sky." she said with a small laugh. She then flapped her wings and took to the sky and brought her hatchlings down and laid them down next to their father who was still sleeping soundly.

Ruby yawned as she lied down on the ground but smiled as she looked around knowing they would be safe for the night.

Terri and Dein turned to Chomper and nuzzled him as they said in tandem, "Sleep well son."

Zaine nodded. "Go ahead. It'll be easier since Pearl's helping you out. Just be careful ok? Wake me up if something happens." He then knelt down and lowered his head to the ground. He almost fell asleep until his eyes fell upon Longtail who was still sound asleep on Littlefoot's back. "How's Longtail?" he asked.

Littlefoot glanced at the flyer on his back. "He's fine for now, just really tired. I think we all are at this point."

Zaine nodded. "Can you let me know when he wakes up?"

"Sure thing Zaine. You get some rest." Zaine nodded and closed his eyes. Littlefoot however glared back at Cyrix, who was at this point asleep. I guess I'm having second thoughts about Cyrix's request. I know he means well for Longtail, but there has to be another way that's less cruel. His hatchlings mean the world to him. Littlefoot also lowerd his head, but he kept one eye open on Cyrix.

Ichy landed on Dil's head. "Night," he yawned.

"Okay Tricia, bed time now" Cera said to her sister as she gave her a light nudge towards the ground. The young three horn let out a wide yawn and curled up on the ground, Cera curling up next to her.

Ali looked at Littlefoot, hesitating for a moment. She took a deep breath and built up the courage to walk over, laying down with Littlefoot's back facing her. She made sure their back were just barely touching before drifting off to sleep.

"'Night, everyone," Aurelia yawned before she lowered herself to the ground, tucked her front legs under her chin, and fell asleep.

"Goodnight, guys," Spike said in a sleepy manner as he found a spot not too far from Aurelia and fell asleep. Ducky and Renn found a spot that was nearby and curled up with each other.

"Get a good night's sleep, sweetie. It's been a long, hard day," Renn whispered before he nuzzled Ducky.

"I will try, yep yep yep," Ducky whispered as she nuzzled her mate back. "Goodnight, dear," she whispered as she lowered her head to the ground and tried to fall asleep.

"Goodnight, sweetheart," Renn replied before he tried to fall asleep as well.

Thud fell asleep himself.

Rhett silently walked over to Ali and fell asleep about a foot away from her.

Cyrix continued to sleep soundly his thoughts of 'kidnapping' Longtail's hatchlings forgotten for the moment due to his need for sleep.

Sweetie flew in several circles in the air keeping a careful eye out for anything that might have been a threat to the herd. "I'm just glad I get to help out now." she said quietly as she scanned the area.

Pearl was flapping her wings quietly and keeping an eye on the herd itself and could see that Littlefoot was still awake. She landed next to him and whispered, "Are you alright? You should be asleep with the others."

Ruby however began to dream of the Great Valley before the incident and smiled in her sleep at the memories she was having.

Littlefoot glanced at Pearl. "I'm just worried about everybody, that's all. I'm worried for Longtail and Zaine. Their friendship might be threatened because of all of this, and I hate to see the two of them at each other's throats like this. They're brothers." He glanced at Ali, who was sleeping right next to him. "Then I worry about Ali. That must have been scary for her, getting separated like that. I don't want it to happen again, not to her or anybody for that matter."

(OOC: No excuse whatsoever for absence, sorry, still here!)

It had been weird, Kit pondered, how she'd felt a bit hesitant at first when Pearl took her own hatchlings back to sleep next to her, but then she'd been watching them so long during the trip she'd sort of gotten use to the babysitting duty.

She let Pearl cuddle up with her own young of course and merely settled down at her own spot, smiling at how even when it wasn't his duty to scout yet, Petrie took a sleeping position that afforded the best view over his friends and the others.

Kit thought it must have been because he was recalling how growing up their own parents had hardly seemed capable of traveling anywhere and having nothing bad happen to them and her cousin just wanted to make sure he was prepared for the worst.

Yet...so much had sort of gone wrong already, maybe they'd used up their 'bad stuff' tree star pile as it were...
