DISCLAIMER:I OWN NOTHING! If I did own Ice Age, Buck would have a girlfriend…

My name is Maddie, short for Madelyn, long for Ma. I have light brown fur, blue eyes, and dark brown hair with soft pink highlights and it is really long so I wear it in a ponytail to keep it out of my eyes.

I grew up with my two sisters, Faith, and Hope.

Our dad abused us when we were little and our mom tried to protect us but he killed her right in front of us. I'm not gonna give you the whole story because I don't like to talk about it. Let's just say we got sick of it and one night we packed up and ran away.

We look exactly alike except Faiths hair is dark brown with purple highlights and wears her hair in a braid. Hope's hair is dark brown with blond highlights and wears her hair in a bun.

Faith is what you would call a diva. If you get just one drop of mud on her fur she will ignore you until you are 'worthy enough to talk to her again' as she put it, which is basically saying you have to be her servant for a week. Been there. Done that. Several times.

Hope is the shy kind of girl and she doesn't like to steal much attention. She gets bullied by the other kids but Faith and I always have her back.

I am more of an out-going kind of girl and don't care what other people say. I'm fearless according to what my sisters say. Not scared of anything. Or so I thought...

Hear's the whole story...

(A/N The rest of the story is a flashback)

We were playing around the river when Hope fell in. Being the good sisters we are,we jumped in after her to save her and that is how we met our herd and also how I got a boyfriend!

Here's where the real action starts...

"Hope!"we cried as we jumped in the river after her.

Hope hasn't learned to swim yet and Faith isn't the best swimmer. That's actually what I was at the river for, to teach them to swim. I was the best swimmer out of all of us.

"Hold on! Fight the current!"

Did I mention the current was really strong?I looked up and saw the clouds turning gray then I heard thunder...and saw lightning. Great.

I looked over to Faith who was getting worn out."I can't..."she trailed off as she started to pass out.

"No!"I started going underwater. I looked over to Hope and couldn't find her(for those who don't get it, Hope is underwater)."That's it!"I swam underwater and opened my eyes. I saw both of them slowly sinking to the bottom. I swam as fast as I can and that was good enough. I grabbed their paws and swam up to the surface. I swam to shore and laid down

Then I immediately passed out.


My eyes fluttered open and I squinted because I wasn't used to the light.

"W-what's going on?"

I looked around and noticed that I was in a cave.

"Maddie!"

"Oh my goodness, you're alive!"

"Great!" I heard all at once.

"Where am I?"I said, confused

I tried to sit up but I felt a great pain in my head."Woah, easy there, you've been out for quite a while." A voice said. I could tell it wasn't my sisters. My sisters sat me up against the wall of the cave we were in. I could see better. I looked to my left and saw Hopes face.

"To answer your questions, right now Faith and I are celebrating that you're awake. The answer to your second question, we are in a cave." I looked around and noticed 3 mammoths, 1 sloth, 2 possums, and 1 saber looking at me.

"Who are they?"I asked, a little confused by why the saber wasn't trying to eat us.

The saber chuckled as if he knew what I was thinking. I don't like this saber, he reads minds."That's Manny, Ellie, Peaches, Crash, Eddie, and Sid. They are a herd."

I must be dreaming, "Oh I get it. I'm dreaming. You're not real."I said looking at the reddish-brown she-mammoth. She walked up to me. I don't remember her name.

"As hard as it is to believe, we are real." she said.

I'll get back to it later. "So, how how long was I out? A couple days, I assume?" Faith started laughing and Hope managed a giggle.

"Yeah, more like a couple weeks."

A couple weeks? They've got to be kidding me. "A couple weeks? W-when did you wake up?"To me it felt like a couple days.

I had some weird dreams while I was asleep. One of them was me falling through the ice and another one was me riding a flying...thing. I don't remember what it looked like.

I faintly remember somebody else riding right by me. All I remember is a red and green blur that was yelling "Come on, you can do better than that!" I had other dreams but I can't remember them.

"We woke up a week ago." Hope whispered in a soft voice. They must be lucky.

Faith smiled brightly, "Manny had a hard time accepting us at first but he warmed up to us and they told us AWESOME stories about humans and dinosaurs and a crazy one-eyed dinosaur fighting weasel with a dinosaur tooth sharpened into a knife..."

"Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, WOAH! Faith, I think you've gotten a little coo-coo in the head." I interrupted. A one-eyed dinosaur fighting weasel? I won't believe it till I see it.

Faith was about to say something when one of possums stepped in. "It's true! He's the one of most coolest weasels I've ever met!" I think his name was Crash. The other one, which I think his name was Eddie, stepped up and put a paw on his brothers shoulder. "He's the only weasel you've ever met besides them. I agree with Crash. Buck is awesome. Plus the whole 'woah' thing you did, sounded just like him.".

Great now I'm turning into some make-believe weasel. Whoo-hoo! Not.

"You guys can say anything you wanna but I believe in reality. There's no way I'm gonna believe all of that make-believe stuff. I mean, come on, a one eyed weasel! Hope, help me out here!" She didn't say anything. Traitor!. "Fine. I still don't believe you but I'm curious about how you-"-I pointed at the herd-"-all turned into a herd." I said sitting down on a rock.

-Fearless-

2 years later...

-Fearless-

So the herd told me about how they met and I believe everything besides Buck.

I've grown close to Crash and Eddie and we play pranks on animals ALL the time.

I usually go out hunting in the mornings with Diego. I FINALLY learned how to use a bow!

Peaches is fun to play with and she is so ADORABLE! Though there isn't one second when she isn't talking. Most of it is about Buck

Ellie is nice to have girl talk with. When I had my first crush, she was the one I went to. I'm over him now.

Sid is a little on the annoying side. He's...uh...that's all I can say about him.

Manny is a little grumpy sometimes but he has a good heart. And like my sisters said, he had had a hard time accepting me at first but he's fine with it now.

We're also part of the herd and it feels nice to have a family that won't abuse us. Our life is perfect! Little did I know that it was all about to change...

Do ya' like it? Tell me in the reviews!
