disclaimer: i do not own ice age or any of it characters,if i did that would be cool:) I only own the characters I created.

{authors note: hello again, distinguished reader! its me again, writing yet another story for ice age! YAY! This is my second fanfic and my first one focusing only on Buck, but since he is my favorite charcater ( next to the possums and Ellie of course) i thought he deserved his own story. OK one more thing(ok more like a few more things) , when you see this **************************** it means its switching to another character's piont of view. And when you see the words typed like this it means that character is thinking. Please let me know what you think.}

Buck was running wild about the family's den again. He knew he would (yet again) get scolded, but he really couldn't help it.

He just had so much energy. After all he was just a kit, and a bored one at that. What was supposed to do? Sit around like

his older sister? NO WAY! Eventually, He grew tired of running around and sat down on the floor of the den. His younger

sisters, who were twins, sat down beside him.

"Buck!" Tillie and Millie exclaimed in unison

"Well if it i'nt me favourite litt'l sistahs!" Buck replied. He really did enjoy being with his sisters, they loved to play and explore

just as he did. Or maybe they just enjoyed exploring because he both.

"But Buck!-"Millie started

"We're you're only-"Tillie replied

"Litt'l sistahs!" they finished together.

Buck smiled. They loved this joke.

"And that's why you two are me favourites!"

"YAY!" they said together,and then began to giggle.

Buck couldn't help but chuckle himself. Those two are just too cute! he thought. He was proud (somewhat) that they looked

up to him. Other times it was kind of embarassing. But still, he loved his sisters.

"Buck!"

Snapped out of his thoughts he turned to see his sisters, who were looking rather annoyed.

"Di'n't you-" began Millie

"Hear us?" added Tillie

One thing about the the twins was that they were VERY close and they ALWAYS finished each other's sentences.

"No, um, sorry gals I di'n't. Could you repeat it please?"

The twins rolled thier eyes...at the same time. Buck stifled a laugh.

"We were saying-" Millie started

"What adventure are you-" Tillie added

"Taking us on today?" they said toogether

Hmm..thats a good question...

"Did I take you lasses to me secret berry patch yet?"

They girls gasped. "A SECRET BERRY PATCH!!!!" they squealed in delight.

" Lassies, its a secret,remembah? You must be quiet about-"

"About what?"

Turning around I saw my older sister, Rudy. Just great. She was always telling on me and getting me in trouble. She looked

down at him with a smirk and a look in her eyes that could cut through stone.I hate that look!

"Whats the plan, Buck?" Millie whispered

"RUN!!" Buck exclaimed

Buck led the way. He needn't tell the girls a second time. They kept up with him perfectly. Once they rounded the corner

outside the den, they ran to a nearby bush and hid inside.

"We got rid of her,di'n't we lasses?" Buck said between pants

"Yes, Buck!" the girls replied panting almost as heavily as Buck. Collapsing in a pile, they all giggled, savoring every

moment of thier small victory.

After a few minutes Buck peeked out of the bush to see if it was ok to come out and lead Tillie and Millie to his secret berry

patch. He could almost taste those juicy, tangy, sweet blueberries, when he heard someone outside the bush. Gettinga

closer look he could see that it was a female weasel, about his age. She had ice blue eyes, like his, but her fur was tan.

Leaning closer Buck, accidently snapped a twig. She had heard it and had scurried away, thinking it was a hungry predator.

Blast! I scared her away. I thought she might like to play with us. O well off to the berry patch!

"C'mon now lasses, its safe now"

Tillie squealed with delight, while Millie smiled widley. Both girls crawled out of teh bush and eagerly followed their older

brother to his secret berry patch. Once they had arrived they feasted on berries and even brought back some for Rudy and

their parents.

"Buck where did you get these? I didn't know that blueberries were out yet" his mother asked.

"Um sorry mum, trade secret." he said with a wink toward his sisters. "Right gals?"

"Right!" they said together.

His mother smiled and took the berries to prepare them with dinner.

When his mother was gone, the girls ran to their room, leaving Buck all alone. His thoughts then turned to the girl he saw

earlier. What was her name? Did she live around here? Was she nice? Would she want to be friends? Hmmm...Maybe I

should go find out...Wait a minute why do I care? Why I am I thinking about this girl? I mean, I only met her once-

"DINNERTIME!" called Buck's mother, interupting his thoughts. Forgetting the girl ( for the moment), He ran to where his

mother was calling from.

Once the family had gathered around for their meal and began to eat, Buck's mother spoke.

" Dear, did you happen to meet the new neighbours yet?" she asked her husband

" That I did, love. They are very nice peole actually and I invited them over for dinner tomorrow."

"Oh good. I would just love to meet them and was planning on inviting them over anyway. This is perfect!"

Perfect wouldn't exactly be the way Buck would describe it. It wasn't that he didn't like the new nieghbors, it was just that

every time a new neighbor moved in, they were stuffy and boring. But then again, maybe these nighbors would different.

Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
