Pierce: Hey! Adopted!
Buddy: [undisguised exhausted stare] What?
Tiny: WHAT DID HE-
Shiny: [immediately holding Tiny back] No! [Glares at Pierce]
Jennifer: [slaps Pierce for them] I'm telling Ma how horrible you are today!
Lindsey: [looks up from her book] What's going on?
Pierce and Jennifer: [glaring at each other, though Jennifer is staring at his beak, not his eyes]
Pierce: I love that weirdo 2 is defending cousin weirdo.
Tiny: [struggling even harder to get out of Shiny's grasp]
Shiny, glaring at Pierce as she holds Tiny: You should be ashamed, Pierce!
Jennifer: [turns to go tell her mom]
Pierce: [grabs her arm]
Jennifer, yanking her hand away: I told you I don't like being tou-
Pierce: If you tell Ma, she'll probably call off the entire playdate. And it's not like you have many friends to play with.
Buddy: H-hey, you're not being nice to your sister, stop it!
Shiny: Yeah, older siblings should defend their younger siblings, not bully them!
Jennifer, glaring at Pierce: I won't let you ostracize our cousin like you did to me.
[Jennifer takes off to find her Ma, and Pierce takes off to stop her - but Lindsey flies over and cuts him off.]
Pierce: Hey!
Lindsey: You know I won't let you get away with shit, Pierce.
Pierce: Go back to reading your books!
Lindsey: [rolls her eyes]
Tiny, still being held back: Throw your books at him!
Shiny: Tiny no!
Lindsey: [smirks] Not a bad idea...
Shiny and Buddy: Tiny no!
[Meanwhile, at the nest...]
Sheryl: What happened next?
Mrs. Pteranodon: That was when Annie kicked him in the-
Jennifer: Ma!
[They turn around and see Jennifer land next to the next.]
Sheryl: What is it, honey?
Jennifer: Pierce is being mean again. Especially t-
Sheryl: [squawks] Pierce! Get over here!
Sheryl, turning to Mrs. Pteranodon: I'm sorry, sis! I don't know why he's like this!
Pierce: [lands] It's not true, Ma!
Sheryl: You have a history of being a bull headed bully, Pierce. And Jenny is very honest.
Pierce: So what! I never wanted to come here in the first place!
Sheryl: Okay then. You get to sit with me in the nest until it's time to go, if you hate your siblings and the cousins so gracious to have us so far.
Pierce: But-
Sheryl: [glare]
Pierce: ... Yes, Ma. [Trudges over]
Jennifer: [nods in thank you to Sheryl and flies off]
Sheryl: Sorry about that again. [Holds Pierce still next to her] What were you saying about your third daughter?
Pierce: [stewing, plotting revenge...]
[After the playdate.]
Sheryl: Thank you for having us, sis! [Holds Mrs. Pteranodon's hand] I miss you and Paxton and Patricia so much these days!
Mrs. Pteranodon: [laughs fondly and hugs her] Love you too, sis.
Sheryl: [head counting her kids] Phantom, Jenny, Linds... Pierce!
Pierce, flying out of a bush: I just had to pee, geez!
Sheryl: Excuse me, sir.
Pierce: [sheepishly looks away as he lands]
Sonny, from the train: All aboard!
Lindsey: [walks in still engrossed in her book]
Tiny: She never threw that book.
Buddy, giving Tiny a look: Good thing.
Sheryl: Pierce, what's in your ha-
[Train whistle blows.]
Sheryl: Nevermind! Get in here!
Pierce: [runs inside]
Phantom, smiling and waving: Bye!
Jennifer, waving stiffly: Bye.
The quadruplets: Bye!
Shiny: It was fun playing with you!
Tiny: Most of you!
Buddy and Shiny: Tiny!
Mrs. Pteranodon: [facepalm]
[The train goes off...]
Don: ...
Buddy: What's wrong, Don?
Don: I... have a feeling... [Flies off suddenly, heading towards home]
