Ice Age: The Breakdown

Ok, you're probably thinking, "What is this crazy girl up to?" Well, I got inspired to write a big, Ice Age musical. Since I'm a terrible at writing music, I will be using some of my favorite songs from other places. If you have any songs you would like to see in the story at some point, please feel free to let me know.

Oh, and this is my first Ice Age fic. Don't be too mean, ok?

Ok, now for the legal stuff...

Ice Age is the belongity of Blue Sky and Fox. All characters you know and love aren't mine. All characters you don't know are, in fact, mine. All song are not mine unless otherwise noted. Blah, blah, blah...

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!

"Aaah, the Ice Age. Such a simple time. Such a beautiful time. Such a quiet time."

"Sid, we don't need a narrator," Diego growled. Sid laughed. "You need to relax, Diego. Enjoy the scenery." Any more from Sid was blocked by little globs of mud being thrown at him by the possum brothers. Diego laughed. "You're right. This scene is pretty funny."

"Hey, Diego, Sid." This came from Manny. "Come on, we need to find a place to spend the night." Sid obediently followed, as did Diego. Ellie just shook her head. "You're so good with them," she whispered to Manny. Then he spotted a cave off to the side. "Hey...hey, Manny! What about over there?" Everyone saw where he was pointing. The cave just looked menacing and evil. "Uh...I think we should keep looking," Manny said. Everyone but Sid agreed. "Yeah, we'd like to stay alive," recommended Eddie. Sid started muttering and headed into the cave anyway. "Look, see? It's perfectly safe!" he called back out. Then something caught his eye.

One of the rocks had an odd pink glow to it. Curious, Sid went over and picked it up. "Ow!" he yelled. "Stupid rock!" he threw the rock back to the ground, where it shattered into a thousand pieces. He started licking his bleeding cut. A few drops fell among the rock pieces. Grudgingly, he left the cave. "Alright, let's keep moving," he grumbled. "We knew you would come back," Crash and Eddie said. Then they scampered off so that no one could catch them. Their herd began to follow them.

None of them noticed what was happening back in the cave. Above the shattered rock rose a pink shape. It was one perhaps not known among the animal world, but any human would recognize it. It was a musical note.

Wee...first chapter is done!

In case you're wondering, I think musicals are great, but almost none offer any explanation as to why the characters are always bursting into song. I wanted there to be an explanation here. But the rest of it will have to wait until later.

Read, review, and return with chocolate!
