Love a Scrat
All ice age characters belong to their Blue Sky Studios and 20th Century Fox. All other characters belong to me.
It was spring and Scrat was trotting through a green field in search of nuts. It was midday and Scrat hadn't eaten yet he remained
confident because for once, nothing bad had happened to him that day yet. Suddenly, a dainty, squirrel with saber teeth came out of
some bushes. She held and nut that she presented to Scrat as she ran up to him. Scrat gasped and squeaked with joy. He gobbled
down the nut as fast as he could. But after that, he stopped. No one had ever given him a nut, something or someone was always
taking them away. Just then, the female scampered off into the bushes where she came from.
Hoping for more nuts and not having any girl Scrat experience, he followed after her. When he stopped and found her
she climbed a tree, grabbed an acorn fom it, and made a graceful landing, nut in the palm of her little clawed hand. Scrat made a
desperate run down retrieve the female Scrat's nut but got punched in the face and then stepped on. He squeaked and continued to try
to steal her nut, getting pummeled each time. Finally, she grabbed him by the neck and held him against a tree. Scrat was confused; he
tried to struggle but then the female squirrel pointed to herself and squeaked (highly pitched, very cute) "Etwa". It took a moment to
register but Scrat realized that she was saying her name. She loosened her grip on him and he squeaked back, his name in his best
pronounciation, "Scrat". She tightned her grip on him again and ate her acorn in front of him to his struggling horror. He tried to
tackle her for eating what he claimed was his nut even though it was hers and she chased him with vigor and determination to the edge
of a slippery iced cliff (there's still ice in spring since it's the ice age). Even though he was a squirrel and was great with clinging to
things, the ice was extremely slippery and with the combined attack force of Etwa, he fell down the cliff into a partially frozen river. He
took a look up at her from the icy water in the river below and saw her tap her paws together, satisfied. Then she left. Now Scrat
realized that her nuts were hers and any messing with her would mean dire consquences as he struggled in the icy water for what felt
like an eternity as his greedy, nut stealing punishment. He hoped he would get out alive and frankly, never run into her again.
What do you think? Scrat's had a rocky start to getting a female scrat love interest. Read and review!
Update: I indented and double spaced the paragraphs to mak it easier to read.
Update 2: Darn, it looks like double-spacing messed up the spacing of the words (Sorry, that's the best I know how to describe it.)
Reviewers, please let me know if you like the paragraphs messed up like this or in single spaced paragraph form. I would also use
some tips on how to double space on text on here so it doesn't look wacky. Thanks!
