In the cold, snowy land called the Ice Age, two saber-tooth squirrels named Scrat and Scratte were searching for a place to place their nut. The acorn they both shared. When they found the perfect spot, they stuck it inside the hole, but a rumble of the ground came up and made the two remove it out and covered it up with ice. They searched for another place until they both fell underground and they kept going down. They passed by the Dinosaur World, where Buck was riding on top of Rudy. They kept falling and falling until they fell on top of the inner core. The acorn was a couple of feet away from them, so Scrat tried to walk over there and get it. When he did, the land cracked, so he stopped. When the acorn started rolling, both the squirrel's started chasing after it.
After separating the lands and creating monuments created of themselves, they accidentally created the time of Pangaea. Once that was done with, Scrat and Scratte held onto the edge of a cliff, where their tails rolled around and around the earth's inner core until it unraveled itself and caused both the squirrel's to hold tight on the acorn as they want up upon the Earth, where the lands were separating. When they fell, the squirrel's landed on a small iceberg, hard. They were happy that the nut was still with them, but after landing hard on the iceberg, it broke in half, one half of it taking the acorn away at sea. The land was cracking and it lead all the way up to the cave of the well known sabers.
Shira gasped, opening her eyes. "What's going on? What was that?"
"What was what?" Diego asked, walking over to his wife.
"It was some kind of rumbling noise. I have no idea what it was, though." She walked over to the only room in the cave. "Kids, are you alright?" She looked inside to see her teenage sons sleeping peacefully, but her daughter was nowhere to be seen. "Wait a second. Where's Snow Belle?"
"Probably up in her tree."
Shira walked outside, but the only creatures she could see were her brothers-in-law, Crash and Eddie. "She's not out here, either. Where could she be? No teenager's ever up early."
"Honey, she's not on lockdown, but I will admit that I am worried about her, too."
"Hey, guys," Manny said, walking up to the sabers alongside his wife, Ellie, "Have you guys seen Peaches?"
"She wasn't in the cave when we woke up this morning," Ellie said.
"She's not the only one that's gone," Diego said, making his was over to his brothers. She smacked them both awake. "Wake up, you idiots. Did you guys sleep on the morning job again?"
"No," Crash said, "We didn't see Snow Belle leave here about fifteen or twenty minutes ago trying to catch up with Laurence, Peaches and Wiener."
"Or that they were heading to the falls," Eddie said.
"The Falls?" Diego said.
"Isn't that where the delinquents go?" Manny asked.
"Oh, I remember those types of places," Shira said, "They were horrible."
"Relax, everyone," Ellie said, "Its just where the kids hang out."
"No, no, it's a gateway hangout," Manny said, "First it's the falls, then Peaches is piercing her trunk, and the next thing you know, she's addicted to berries."
"Same goes for Snow Belle," Diego said, "Except she's piercing her nose and she'll be addicted to all sorts of various fruits."
"I'll go wake up the boys," Shira said.
"You two are overreacting," Ellie told her husband and Diego, "Their not gonna be little girls forever."
"That's what worries me," Manny said.
"It makes me feel as though my little flower is blooming too soon," Diego said.
"Come on, boys," Shira said.
"I hate that we always have to go and find the girls," Junior said. He was all grown up into a teenager. He definitely looked like his father, except his fangs were a bit shorter than other sabers.
"Can't you just let them have a good time?" Stripes asked. He was also grown into a teenager, but he had stripes on top of his back and on the back of his legs and he still had his father's fur color. He looked more like a regular tiger than a saber. His eyes were still a mixture of both his parents eye colors.
"What if we told you they were heading to the falls?" Diego said.
The two saber boys groaned. "Fine."
Out in the woods, a saber girl was swinging around in the trees like she was a possum. This happens to be Snow Belle, who looked so much like her mother and acted a bit like her father. Running after her and having the time of her life as well was Peaches, who looked a lot like her mother as well, having her hair and eye color. She was always up for adventure and couldn't wait to hang out with her friends at the falls. The two girls looked behind them.
"Louis!" Peaches called out.
"Laurence!" Snow Belle shouted.
"Would you two stop hiding behind trees and underground and start having a little fun?"
"It's such a beautiful day. What's there to hide from?"
"Lots of things," Laurence said. To prove it, a butterfly flew by, scaring the easily frightened saber and caused him to hide behind the tree.
A burrow trail came up, but stopped when Louis bumped his head on a rock. He popped up from underground. "I'm a molehog. My head's suppose to be underground."
"And our idea of fun isn't risking death so you can go spy on some cute saber, Snow Belle. That just places all of us in danger."
"Trevor isn't cute," Snow Belle said, hanging upside down from the tree, "He's smoking hot gorgeous!"
"So is Julian," Peaches said, "Cutest mammoth at the falls."
The guys sighed. Snow Belle placed herself back on the ground. "Besides, you guys can't spend your whole lives playing it safe."
"You might say that, but Mom and Dad don't think so," Junior said, he and Stripes sneaking up on their sister and friends.
"Guys?" Snow Belle groaned. "I really don't need you guys to follow me there."
"Well, as much as we don't mind letting you go, you know how our parents feel about you going to the falls all on your own," Stripes said.
"Well, she's not alone, you guys," Laurence said.
"You don't count, scaredy cat," Junior said.
"Neither do you, wiener," Stripes said.
"Yes, there's my place," Louis said.
"Thanks for placing us in our correct spots," Laurence said, "That was nice of you guys."
"Come on, girls," Stripes said, "We promised the others that we get you both home."
Snow Belle sighed in frustration. "Seriously." Shaking her head, she and Peaches followed behind her brothers.
"So should we just wait here or what?" Laurence asked. He looked at Louis who shrugged his shoulders. A rumbling sound could be heard as they both shriek in fear and ran off.
On the other side of the village, Cheril was out hunting when she felt the rumbling sound. She ran up and stood above a cliff where she could see the whole village. Cheril was now grown up into a teenager about fourteen years of age. Her hair was longer now than it was when she was younger. She pulled it up into a ponytail from almost the top of her head and strands of her hair were pulled out and placed in the front where it touched the top of her abdomen. She wore a tan furred dress that went down to her knees and sandals that did not look comfortable. She wore a short long sleeve fur that was dark brown and looked more like a short sweater. She had no idea what was going on, but she yelled at what the ground was doing.
"HEEEEYYYYY!" Cheril shouted. This made the rumbling stop. The human girl chuckled. "Yeah, you don't scare me, mother nature. There's nothing you can throw at me that I can't handle." There was one thing, though. That was to expect the unexpected. A log jumped up out of through the trees and rammed right into Cheril. It placed itself back on the ground.
"Oh, I believe we're almost there, darling," a tan female sloth said to the purple male sloth next to her.
"I hope so," the male sloth said, "It seems as though I've lost the steering." They had no idea that Cheril was hanging onto dear life right in front of the moving car. On it's nose.
An elderly blue sloth sat in the back as he had a vine seatbelt wrapped around him. "Has anybody seen Pudgy? It's his feeding time."
"Mother, Pappy is talking about his dead pet again," a younger tan sloth said.
"Hello, new village!" a red female sloth shouted in the back, raising up her arms. Her entire body had the scent of lavender on it.
"Oh, I'm getting tired of smelling the lavender, Aunt Lindsey. Please put your arms down."
The log hit a speed bump and jumped off the ground. When it landed, the tan female sloth got on to her husband. "Be careful, John. You're going to hurt somebody."
"Sorry, Rebecca," John said.
Cheril showed herself in front of the whole sloth family. Rebecca screamed. "AAAAHHH! Human! Get out of here!"
"Rock!" shouted the young tan sloth.
The log hit the rock and bounced up, making Cheril fly through the log and become tied up with the elderly male sloth. Cheril was screaming in terror, but the old sloth was having a wonderful time. "Woohoo! Faster!" Cheril continued screaming in fear.
Meanwhile, Snow Belle was whining to her parents as Peaches was not pleased at all about not being allowed to go to the falls, either. "Okay, so tell me. When exactly am I gonna be allowed to hang out with boys?"
"Are you forgetting about somebody?" Peaches asked.
"When your mom and I are dead," Diego said, "Plus three days, just to make sure we're dead."
"Same goes for you too, Peaches," Manny said.
Cheril looked to see the log car heading straight for Peaches and Snow Belle. She gasped, but quickly had an idea. Taking out her spear, she threw it at a tree, making it stick in it. This cause the log to come to a complete stop before it could hit the two teenage girls. All the sloths were slung out and landed on top of Shira and Ellie. Peaches and Snow Belle tapped the log until it laid flat on the ground.
Manny ran up to his wife, along with Diego doing the same. "You girls okay?"
Shira shook it off and walked away while Ellie stood up, removing Aunt Lindsey off her trunk. "Get off my face." She placed the red sloth on the ground.
"Oh, that was a very thrilling experience," Aunt Lindsey said.
"That was fun," Cheril said, using her spear to cut the vines that connected her and the elderly sloth, "Now...who should I spear first?"
Aunt Lindsey started backing away. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Help! Help! Help!"
"Aunt Lindsey?" Brooke asked, running up to the herd, "Is that really you?" She gasped. "Mother! Father! Megan!" She hugged her entire family.
"Hey," Pappy said.
"Pappy?"
"This pumpkin's riped for picking." Pappy was poking a horned beaver on its butt with his walking stick.
"Oh, my whole family. I'm so glad to see you all again."
"See?" Manny told Peaches, "Brooke still hugs her parents."
"Oh, Brooke darling, we're so glad to see you again," Rebecca said, "It's been ten years. We tried finding you five years ago for the traditional reunion, but you were nowhere to be found."
"Oh, I do apologize for such a rucus," Brooke said, "A lot has happened the last few years. I knew you would return to see me."
"Oh, I'm just here along for the ride," Megan said, walking away from the group.
"Oh, don't mind her," John said, "You know how teenagers are. We were actually passing by on our way for our yearly vacation, and we were planning on stopping by along the way."
"It seems as though we forgot to tell you one little detail after we left you all on your own," Rebecca said, "We forgot to mention that one member of the family gets to come and live with you for all eternity. It seems as though that it must be the oldest of the family, though."
"Yes, but I'm sure you would love for Pappy to live with you before his time is up."
"I'll bury y'all and dance on your grave," Pappy said, pointing his walking stick at everyone.
Rebecca giggled, handing Brooke a leaf sack. "Anyway, here's all of Pappy's things. Oh, We lost his teeth on the way here so you'll have to find him a new pair. In the meantime, just mash up his food."
"Let me go find Pappy," John said, but Pappy was nowhere to be found, "Pappy? Where did he go?"
They found Pappy standing behind Megan with a piece of ice reflecting off the Sun's rays on top of her head. She didn't even notice it since she was checking her nails. When Pappy started laughing, Megan shrieked in pain. "Ow! I'm so glad you're moving in with Brooke."
"Come on, Pappy," John said.
"I never get to have any fun," Pappy said.
"Well, it was wonderful to see you again, Brooke," Rebecca said, "Just remember that No matter how far away we are, we will always love you."
"I love you all, too," Brooke said.
"Be good to Brooke, Pappy," John said, "We'll see you in five years."
"If I'm still alive by then," Pappy said.
Brooke's family hopped back inside the log. Rebecca turned to look at her daughter. "Keep an eye on him now, dear. He does tend to wander these days."
"Goodbye!" John said as he rode away with everyone else.
The herd just looked at the sloth family riding away. Pappy was trying to bite into an apple, but had no teeth to do so. He tried handing it to his granddaughter. "Hey, can you chew this thing for me?"
"Maybe later, Pappy," Brooke said.
"Brooke, are you sure they just make up this stuff to get away from you?" Ellie asked.
"Absolutely not. My family has been hippies since the dawn of time. All they say and the traditions that we have is absolutely true. Although, I will miss them dearly."
"Well, at least you have Pappy," Shira said.
"Yes, that is true," Brooke said, but looked to see that Pappy was gone, "Pappy? Pappy?"
"Wow," Manny said, "For an old guy, he moves fast."
Everyone went out to search for their new elderly herd member.
