I Don't Own Ice Age
I'm reposting this story from my other account, zuri123, because it bugs me if all my stories aren't o one account that I can access. It's a really sweet story about Diego and Shira, and could be a prequel to Forever and Ten Seconds, but I'm not really sure yet. Hope you guys like it!
A New Way of Life
Chapter one: A New Home
Shira's POV
I looked around to see if there was any sign of a good cave around. The ship like ice berg had just landed on the island where Manny, Diego and Sid had taken the pirate ship from Captain Gutt.
I hopped off the ship onto the soft sand, followed by the rest of the animals. Everyone automatically dispersed to find a place to live, because it was obvious that this was where we all were going to live. Peaches and Louis wandered off with the other teens to explore and find a new hang out spot. Leaving the rest of the heard to find a spot where we would live. We all wondered off, going in the general direction of a clearing we could see from the Cove.
"I think we should split up and see if we can find a cave big enough for all of us, or a few caves in the same area that we can all live in." Ellie said.
"Good idea Ellie. You'll go with me. Sid, go with Granny, Eddie and Crash, you'll go together, and try NOT to get in trouble. Umm. That just leaves Diego and Shira." Manny agreed.
I exchange glances with Diego and give him a I-swear-he-did-that-on-purpose look. He shrugs and starts heading towards a path that looks slightly familiar. I look around. Manny and Ellie are looking around a large cave in a cliff at the edge of the clearing. Sid and Granny are checking out 2 smaller caves, and Crash and Eddie are nowhere in sight.
"You coming Kitty." Diego smirked.
Ugh, why does he have to call me that?
"Coming…" I pause, "softie", I reply with a satisfied smirk.
He growls softly at me, but tries to ignore me. We walk up the path in silence. When we come out of the forest, we find a small clearing bordered with more forest, and one half hollow tree with a hole in it, like a tree cave. The roots by what looked like the entrance were torn up. I instantly recognized it.
"Hey, isn't that the tree you locked me up in like 2 days ago" I say to Diego.
"Hey, yeah, it is" laughed Diego.
I smile, glad he still remembers. I wonder if he remembers our talk.
"I also remember it's where you called me a softie." Diego commented.
"Well you are" I reply.
He tackles, but I pin him down.
"You're such a softie!" I tell him, making sure to put an especially annoying smirk on.
Sid walks up the trail.
"Hey, Manny and Ellie have found a cave for them and Peaches, Granny found a cave, and I found a rock to sleep on, have you guys found any place you're going to…" He rambles on.
We stop and stare at him as we realize he's talking to us. Diego has me pinned to the ground. Sid Stares at us, then smiles widely.
"Ohh, I see what's going on here, I leave you too love birds alone too…" He starts to say.
Diego leaps toward Sid and chases him, snarling and making threats. I sit up, but then fall back on the ground, laughing.
Then I get an idea. I go to the forest and grab a bunch of vines and leaves, weaving them in the spaces between the tree roots, making it more like a cave. Then I clear the open space and tar away the roots that held me captive in the tree not so long ago. There, that looks more like a cave, I think to myself. I am just finishing the inside, clearing away the fallen roots, when Diego comes back with a deer. That's when I realize how hungry I am.
"You want some?" Diego offered.
"Yes!" I say and run up to him. We eat the deer in silence. By that time, It's getting dark out.
I walk into the tree cave.
"I don't know where you're sleeping, but this is my cave." I tell him."
"It's a tree" Diego said with a poker face.
"It's a tree cave"
"Whatever"
I am so tired now. I give him a questioning look, but he just stands in the entry way.
"Um, c-can I, um I sleep hear t-tonight?" He asks awkwardly.
He finally asks. I can see him blush. I decide to wait a minute, just to bug him.
"Well, I guess"
He smiles, and lies down inside. I curl up opposite of him and smile. I close my eyes.
"Night softie" I say.
"Night Kitty"
I know he's smirking, even though my eyes are closed and I can't see it.
I glance out the entrance at the stars, and the drift off to sleep.
Please Review
New chapter will be coming out soon, I hope.
