Diego's old "Friend"
It was a dark night and the stars were out.
The herd were laying in a circle, looking at them.
"Its a beautiful night" Shira said.
"Its not as beautiful as you" Diego said, Shira berried her head in his fur.
"Gross!" Emma,Crash,Eddie, Yasmin and Anna said in disgust.
"Get over it Emma, This will happen to you soon" Manny said.
"Never in a million years, besides I can't because I can not grow up" Emma said, a huge smug grin on her face. That but Manny in the shut up zone, he was a bit upset that Emma can't grow up because it was entertaining to raise a human, but also relieved that he doesn't go through the thing that he did with Peaches.
Peaches was sitting in a tree with Louis on her trunk.
"This is a nice night" Louis said. Peaches nodded, almost knocking him off.
"Whoa!"Louis said gripping on her trunk.
"Sorry Louis" Peaches said. There was a tunnelling sound and a women molehog popped out.
"Louis Jane Molehog!-" She started
"Jane?" Emma and Peaches asked, Granny gave a crumbling laughing fit,
"Its pass your bedtime!" Louis mom said.
"Hi Aunt Lucille" Yasmin said.
"Oh hello, Dear." Lucille said "Louis say goodnight to your friends we are leaving!"
"Night Guys" Louis mumbled and jumped in the tunnel after his mother.
"Speaking of bedtime" Manny said and picked up Emma and placed her on his back. Ellie and Peaches followed him, then Sid, Granny,Yasmin,Anna and the twins.
"Goodnight Precious!" Granny shouted out to sea.
They all heard a mumble "That's whale for goodnight" Granny said to Anna. The polar bear just role her eyes.
Diego and Shira stayed there, It was a great moment.
The moon was full and shinning down on them, Diego turn his head to Shira, her pretty, sapphire eyes were glaring at him and she saw him staring at her and they both turned away awkwardly.
"Lets hit the hay soon" Shira said.
"Alright" Diego said.
Amber coloured eyes were watching them from a bush.
They both pulled themselves and began to walk. Diego was telling her the story about how he, Manny,Sid and Emma met.
"That is a cute story" Shira said, she turn her head to him and gazed into his hazel-green eyes, he gazed back, this would have stayed like this if not a twig snapped from the bushes.
"Who's there!" Diego demanded.
A tangerine coloured saber jumped out from the bushed.
"Mara?!" Diego asked and let out a sound of joy and ran to this female saber and playfully pinned her down and nuzzled her face.
She nuzzled back with a smile. She noticed Shira and frowned.
"Diego, Who is your...Friend" Shira asked, an eyebrow up. Diego coughed awkwardly and jumped off Mara.
"um, Shira this is Mara, Mara this is Shira" Diego said.
"Hi" Shira said, she already didn't like her but she have to look happy.
"Yeah, Hi" Mara said moodily.
"What are you doing here" Diego said and got between the girls.
"I've ran away, I can't live in that pack with out you Diego" Mara said and went to nuzzle him again but Diego pulled away.
"Yeah, Um, Mara, This is uncomfortable" Diego said "Shira is kinda my mate"
"Kinda?" Shira asked
"Okay she is!" Diego said, scared of Shira's glare.
"oh" Mara said, her face was shaped in a scowl. "I have no where to go can I please go with you"
"SURE!" Diego said and trotted off.
"Look, I just want to say-" Shira began.
"Look, Hairball, back off, He's mine, I saw him first and I'm gonna have him" Mara growled at Shira.
"Huh?" Shira said.
"He..is..mine!" Mara hissed
"I'm his mate" Shira said
"But that's not fair!, he was my friend and I was going to make a move is not he left and joined that fat mammoth!" Mara said
"He's not fat, He's poofy!" Shira said, angrily.
"Whatever, I'm going to have him" Mara said
"Diego's not the last antelope at dinner time" Shira said
"Well I guess I'm starving" Mara hissed.
They went to join Diego, they were near the camp site, but then Diego and Shira heard the worst thing possible... A blood curling scream from a 11 year old human with a possum tail.
