Tony

CHAPTER 1

The once was a dinosaur named Tony. He is around 17 feet tall. He only eats grass type plants. Tony is the brother of one boy and one girl. Tony is the middle child.
Tony was never like his brother and his sister. Tony was really good in school and got picked on a lot. He is the 2nd smallest in his family. His sister Lulu is only 12 feet tall but she is very young. Tony’s mother, father, brother and sister are all blue dinosaurs. Tony feels left out because he looks different from everybody else. Tony’s brother Rick gives him a hard time because Tony is smart and he is not. The next day a school there was a new dinosaur in school.
“Hello class.” Mr. Rocky, Tony’s teacher, said. “We have a new student today. Her name is Rosie.” Tony thought Rosie was very scaly and he loved how they shined in the light. “Please treat her nicely.” Mr. Rocky finished. At the end of the day Tony went up to Rosie and just when he was about to say something Jack came up to him.
“Rosie is this pea brain bugging you?” Jack said shoving Tony.
“Come on Jack, leave me alone! I was just going to say hi.” Tony said looking at Rosie.
“Jack is it?” Rosie said, “Take your pea brain and get lost.” Jack shoved Tony to the ground and walked away. Rosie helped Tony up.
“Are you okay?” Rosie said as she grabbed Tony’s hand and pull him to his feet. Tony was in a daze with her beauty. She had bright green scales and a long beautiful tail. “Hello? You there?” Rosie said waving her hand in front of his face.
“Oh sorry. Yes, I’m fine. I’m kind of use to it.” Tony finally said.
“Why do you let them push you around?” Rosie asked but Tony didn’t answer. When Tony was walking home alone Jack approached him with his ‘friends’.
“You don’t have your little girlfriend to back you up this time.” Jack said while pushing Tony until he fell backwards.
“Come on Jack. Leave me alone. I didn’t do anything.” Tony said. Jack punched him in gut and Tony screamed. Jack jumped on him, covered his mouth and started punching him again. Tony was biting Jacks hand. Tonys Mom came over and pulled Jacks ear.
“Jackson Ray Moore! Get you butt to your Mamas and I will meet you there soon.” Tonys Mother said said pulling his ear and not letting go. She went to go and help Tony but he pulled away. His face was all red and filled with blood. “Tony honey, come here.” Tony ran to his Mom and hugged her.
“Mommy, I want to go home.”
“Of course darling.” The next day Tony didn’t go to school. He stayed home in his room. His Mother brought him his favorite leaf but he didn’t touch it. Lulu even asked if he wanted to come to her Dino Ball tournament to cheer her on but again he said no. When school was out and he was home alone the door bell rang. It was Rosie.


CHAPTER 2

“Hi Tony. I came to see if you were okay.” she said.
“How many people at school know?” Tony asked. He was tempted to shut the door because his cuts have not healed and he didn’t want her to see him like thid because he liked Rosie and was afraid if she saw him like this she wouldn’t like him anymore.
“Everybody knows.” She continued. “Can I come in?”
“Yeah sure.” He said walking to the couch. “I’m thinking of going to my sisters Dino Ball Tournament... Would you like to come with me.”
“Yeah! That sounds like fun.” She said. When we got there Lulu was winning by 8 Dino points. “So Tony have you ever met your real parents?” Rosie asked. Tony was shocked. He didn’t know what she was talking about.
“What are you talking about?” Tony asked.
“Well my parents are not my real parents either. They found me abandoned on..” Tony cut her off.
“Those are my real parents!” Tony screamed louder than was intentional.
“Tony calm down. Your making a scene. Look at your scales. They are purple. Look at your families they are green.” Tony looked at his and then his sisters and she was right. Tony knew that they were different.
“There is an explanation for it.”
“Really what?” Rosie asked.
“I don’ know but we are family. Real family.” Tony ran out and went home. When his mother and father arrived he talked to them about it.
“Mom, Dad can I talk to you for a second?” Tony said taking a seat at the kitchen table. His parents said okay and took a seat too. “I am different.”
“Of course you are.” His father said smiling.
“No! Thats not what I mean. I mean look at me. My scales are different. I’m smaller than everybody. I’m different.” Tony said looking at the table.
His mother reached for his hand but he pulled away.
“Honey, I think its time to tell him.” Tonys Father said to his Mother.
“But what if he is not ready.” She replied. Tony looked up.
“Tell me what?” Tony asked.
“Tony, their is no easy way to say this. You are not ours.” His Father said. Tonys smile turned to a frown and he put his head down.
“We found you. You real Mother and Father left you. We don’t know why but they did. We couldn’t leave you there to die.” His Mother said.
“All this time. I have been living a lie. I have been getting tortured by people and I just accepted that I will never fit in but I do. Just not here.” Tony said while leaving the table and not looking back. Later that night Tony left on a quest to find his real parents. He didn’t tell his fake Mother or Father. He just left. He took a Dino Sack and put some leaves and Dino-rade to drink. Tony hitch hiked all the way to Purpleopolis. He figured that if in Greenville there is green dinosaurs then in Purpleopolis there will be purple dinosaurs just like him. When Tony arrived there he went to the Tourist Building. In the tourist book he saw that the whole town eats leaves only, just like him. He also found out that their are only purple Dino’s, just like him.


CHAPTER 3

Tony went to the Mayor of the town to see what he should do.
“Hello. I’m hear to speak to the Mayor, please.” Tony said very politely to the Dinosaur at the desk.
“Just one moment please.” She replied. “He is right through those doors.” Tony said okay and went through the doors.
“How may I help you, young man.” The Mayor said as Tony walked through the door.
“I’m looking for my parents.” Tony said.
“Okay. Where do you live.” He asked.
“No, you don’t understand. I have never met my parents. I was adopted so to speak. I have come all the way form Greenville.” Tony explained.
“Oh. Why do you think that your parents are here?” The Mayor asked.
“Where I come from people are tall and green and I’m not that. I belong here.”
“Well son, I cant promise you we can find them. I mean we can look for the parents in the past but that is as much as I can do. I’m sorry.”
“Thats all I need. Just look for parents in the past who have abandoned their child.” Tony said. Later that day the Mayor and Tony found a family who had abandoned their child because it was the runt of the litter and they did not believe it would survive. Tony was very happy. He wanted to meet them right away. The Mayor informed him that that family has two girls and two boys already but Tony needed to see where he belongs. Tony went to there house and was standing on their door step for about an hour before he knocked. When he did a Women opened the door. Tony knew it was his mother because their scales looked exactly alike.

CHAPTER 4

“He.. he.. hello ma'am.” Tony said. “I am your son.”
“What?” she looked very confused.
“You abandoned me as a baby Dino but a different family found me. They raised me but I didn’t fit in. We looked different and... I came to find were I belong.” Tony said but she didn’t say anything. She stood there speechless. But then she said something.
“Tony?” She said. Then I ran to go hug her. She kept repeating his name over and over again.
“Mamma I missed you so much.” He said not letting go of her.
“It was such a hard choice to leave you.” She said stroking his scales. Then they went into her house and sat down to talk about it.
“If it was so hard why did you do it?” Tony asked.
“Our pack was moving and you just hatched. You three siblings came out rather quickly but you didn’t. We waited two days for you after they hatched and you didn’t so we had no choice but to leave you behind.” His real Father said. Tony didn’t say anything.
“We didn’t want to but we couldn’t get any further behind. How far did you come to find us?” His real Mother asked.
“I grew up in Greenville. My other parents found me and I grew up there with a brother and a sister.” Tony said still not looking them in their eyes.
“I’m happy that you grew up right and with a good life.” His Mother said. Tony stood up.
“You think I was happy? I was miserable! I was so different. Dinosaurs weren’t sure if they should be scared of me or laugh. I had purple scales when everybody else had green. I’m short when everybody was tall. I came home everyday crying because I got beat up. I was not happy and I did not grow up well!” Tony said. He was embarrassed at his out break but he knew they needed to hear it.
“We had no idea.” His Father said but Tony didn’t look at him or say anything.
“If we knew then..” His Mother tried saying but Tony cut her off.
“You would what? Come and save me. Yeah I can imagine that. Hi I’m Tonys real parents and he is not happy here so we are going to take him but thanks for raising him for us. Yeah like that would go over well. I’m sorry that I’m yelling but you just don’t understand.” Tony said.
“Help us understand then.” His Mother said.
“Okay. I grew up never really knowing who I was. I alway thought that I just didn’t belong and that is how it would always be. I didn’t even know I really didn’t belong until a few weeks ago and as soon as I did I came to find you.” Tony said taking a seat back at the table.
“So your parents don’t know your here?” They asked.
“No. They don’t understand. No one does.” He said.
“How do you think they feel. Not knowing where you are or if you are okay?” His Mother asked.
“I don’t know but if they really cared about me then they would have told me sooner that I don’t belong so I wouldn’t feel so bad.” He said.
“But do you think it would have made a difference.” His Father asked.
“No but I would like to have known.” Tony said.
“It was amazing to meet him but he should get heading home.” They said.
“No! This is my home. I don’t belong there.” Tony said.
“Tony, you have to understand that you cant stay here. You have real parents who love you and are worried. We would love to meet them though.” His Mother said.
“I don’t want to leave. I belong here.” Tony said. His real parents brought him back to his parents and introduced themselves.

CHAPTER 5

“I am sorry about this but I’m Margret and this is George.” Tonys real parents said.
“Thats fine. We just wanted to know that he was okay. By the way I am Brittany and this is Brett. It is great to finally to meet you.” Tonys parents said. Tony was standing in the corner, afraid that he would get yelled at.
“Tony honey, would you like to tell us what is going on?” Tonys parents said to him.
“No.” Tony replied.
“Tony your mother asked you a question and you should answer it.” His father said.
“Fine. I wanted to meet them. I wanted to know where I fit in because it is not here. I just needed to know.” Tony said slowing fading with his words.
“We are so very sorry about the inconvenience but we knew you were worried and we just wanted to give him to his rightful owner.” His real mother said while rubbing his scales. His parent agreed and they had Tony go to his room while they talked.
“Why did you leave him?” Tonys father asked.
“Our group was leaving and his siblings already hatched and it was 3 days after they did so we assumed that he was a dud.” They said while they grabbed each others hand. Tonys parents didn’t say anything for a while.
“We want you to be apart of his life.” Tonys father said.
“What?” Tonys real parents looked surprised.
“We want him to live with you and we would like to have visitation.” Tonys mother said.
“Why?” His real mother asked.
“He doesn’t like it here. He doesn’t fit in and he would resent us forever if we didn’t let him stay.” Tonys mother said.
“We can’t take him from you.” Tonys real father said. Tonys parents didn’t answer.
“We would love to have him.” His real father finally said.
“Thank you.” Tonys mother said then then called Tony back into the room.
“We are going to let you move in with Margret and George.” Tonys father said.
“What? Really!” Tony said almost jumping out the window.
“Yes.” Margret said and then Tony ran and jumped into his parents hands.
“We love you and don’t think you are getting rid of us because we will visit.” His mother said while setting him on his feet.

CHAPTER 6

Tony fit right in in his new school. Everybody was his height and his same color and everybody was so friendly but Tony couldn’t get one thing off his mind. He kept thinking about Rose. When he got home his mother had fresh green leaves and Dino-rade waiting for him. It made Tony feel good because he always had to make a separate meal because his other family was meat eaters but Rose was still on his mind. He also got his own room unlike at his other house where he shared a room with his little sister. This home was everything Tony wanted but one thing was missing. His family. He missed Rose and her friendliness. He missed his mother and father although he was different compared to them. He miss being with people he knows. Tony realized he was were he belonged. He didn’t need new parents or meals or his own room to fit in. He needed to be loved and he was. Tony then talked to his real mother and father.
“I don’t belong here. I look the same but I don’t feel the same in here.” He said pointing to his heart.
“We know.” His real mother said.
“What?” Tony asked.
“You daze off and you are always are thinking about things and you look homesick darling.” She said. Tony looked down at the red table cloth on the table.
“I’m sorry but I had everything I wanted in my old home but I still want to visit you because I don’t want to forget you and what you did for me.” Tony said.
“What did we do for you?” His real father asked.
“You helped me realize what really mattered. Its not what you have or fitting in, its being with who you love.” He said. They didn’t say anything. They just nodded and took Tony home. When Tony got there he went to his family and told them what he told his other parents and they hugged him. Then he went to the beach to find Rose and apologize. When he found her she was sitting watching the sun go down. I sat beside her and watched with her.
“Why haven’t you been in school?” She asked Tony.
“I have been at my real parents.” Tony said. “You were right.” She waited a while before she replied.
“Part of the reason I came back is because of you. You were so nice to me when no one else was. You stuck up for me when no one else did and I love you like no one else will.” Tony said turning her.
“Wow! I don’t know what to say.” She told Tony.
“Say you love me too.” He told her.
“I can’t.” She said.
“Why not?” He said.
“Because I’m dating Jack.” She said like she was ashamed.
“What?” Tony said. “When did this happen?”
“You left and we became study partners and it became more. I’m so sorry but I couldn’t wait for you Tony.” She said and then Tony stood there for about 30 seconds then ran home. He couldn’t stop crying but he did so his mother wouldn’t see him like that. He didn’t talk to Rose after that. He went to the same school and did the same routine but avoided Rose. He never spoke another word to her. Years and years past. She married Jack. They have two boys and a girl. Tony is still single still doing the same routine. He goes to work. Comes home. Eats. Then goes to bed. Tony never found a mate and he never found his true love because she got away. He asks himself everyday What if or what could have been but he will never know for sure.
