It's a beautiful sunny day in the great valley. We see Tria by the riverside as she stacks up a pile of rocks. And at the very top of it she placed a beautiful perfectly cut crystal

Tria: lovely

She looks behind her at the sound of giggling and sees Cera and Tricia headed up to her. Tricia runs ahead and bumps into her mother and falls on her back wagging her tail playfully in the process. Tria looks to her affectionately and lowers her foot to tickle her making baby Tricia laugh. Cera has her attention on the crystal at the top of the stack

Cera: where's you get the new rock? From the canyon of shiny stones?

Tria: nope. From right around here. Pretty isn't it?

Tricia then heads up to her and babbles curiously

Tria: what is it Tricia?

Cera: she's hungry. We a great tree full of leaves but the good ones are too high for me to reach

Tria: well let's go get you a snack

Tricia babbles happily as she joins their mother as they head off. Cera then looks to the crystal and sees how high it was

Cera: hmph. Everything's too high today

She tears up on her hind legs and puts her front legs on the stack so she could get a closer look at the beautiful crystal but her weight was too much causing the stack to fall. Cera looks and sees the crystal bounce off toward the river. She charges to grab it but slips and scrapes her chin in the process

Cera: ow!

She then looks and sees the crystal fall into the river, it's weight going against the current as it sinks to the bottom. Cera looks in shock as it disappears from sight. She gets up and looks behind her and sees tria and Tricia coming back. Tricia was nibbling on a leaf as big as her and tria is shocked to see the toppled over stack

Tria: cera, what happened to my pretty stone?

Cera didn't know what to say. She was so guilty and furious about what she had did she couldn't even think straight so out of frustration she slapped a pebble away and shouted

Cera: THATS ALL YOU CARE ABOUT! Your pretty stone! I just scrapped my chin trying to save it, but do you care?! NO!

Tria and Tricia watch as Cera leaves just like that. Tria was both surprised and concerned for cera as she knew she wouldn't mean to say that. And Tricia was also worried for her big sister as this was the first time she snapped in front of her like this

We then cut back to the gang in the forest as they had just started playing hide and seek as Ruby was the seeker

Ruby: okay! Everybody hide!

With that everyone fled to find their hiding places. Littlefoot and chomper hid behind a large rock, Petrie hid behind a large fruit his size in a tree, ducky and spike hid behind a bush, and moxxie and Millie hid in the river in their mer-imp forms. When she finished counting Ruby proceeds to go out and seek the others. She walks right passed the gang and heads up to the water as the imps breathing releases bubbles that float to the surface. Ducky gasps in surprise as she grabs a pebble and throws it in a random area making Ruby take notice. She then heads right up to where the pebble was thrown and gasps in delight as she sees Cera come to the area
