Okay everyone here's my new chapter! And thank you Shiego627 for being my first reviewer!

Captain Gutt and his crew were finally defeated; it had taken a mammoth, a sloth, a saber, a herd, a siren, and plus a sperm whale to finally end the ape's power of horror and plans for vengeance once and for all. Now that Manny, Sid, and Diego were free from them, they and the herd had to search for a new home since the continental drift had put their mainland where they used to live in ruins, the herd used Gutt's second ice ship (which they stole) to travel back to the hyrax island, along bringing every other animal that needed a new place to live. Upon their arrival, several hyraxes flying overhead in their planed made of leaves greeted them. When the elder hyrax landed, he welcomed the herd back in the odd strangest language in only which Sid would understand.

Once they were docked, Peaches, Louis, along with Ethan and the gang went off exploring while Shira briefly introduced herself to Ellie, Crash and Eddie on the island they would soon be calling home. Every animal had disembarked to find their suitable homes for themselves. So in the meantime, the herd had started to walk into the forest to look for an area that would house for their now rather large family. They all had managed to find a walk corridor which had cut a path through the forest and had followed it for an hour now.

The possums had gone scouting while Sid who still continued to whine all the way, because in the matter of fact, he had Granny on his back. The whining irritated Manny and Diego as well.

"Hey does anyone want to carry Granny for me?" Sid called out desperately before he turned to Manny. "Hey Manny, do you…"

"NO" Manny answered agitatedly

Sid frowned and turned side to Diego. "Hey Diego buddy, would you…"

"Not in your life Sid" said Diego agitatedly

"Aww but c'mon you guys, I don't want to…" Sid was about to start a fuss before Granny whacked him over the head with her stick.

(BONK)

"OW" cried Sid as he rubbed his head

"SIDNEY, stop this pouting business of yours and find Granny a place to sleep for the night before I whack you into next morning" said Granny sternly

"But Granny, I'm getting…" Sid was about to start another fuss before Granny whacked him over the head with her stick again

(BONK)

"OW…"

(BONK)

"…OW…"

(BONK)

"…OW"

Granny's whacking caused Manny to sigh feeling increasingly agitated and he turned from over his shoulder and yelled. "Shut up Sid!"

Ellie tried to make the pressure a little more positive and clear by talking with Shira.

"So Shira dear, do you know any places that will make a good home for all of us?" asked Ellie

"Well to tell you the truth Ellie I don't know much really. I never actually had a chance to explore this place; Gutt only used this island for emergency food stops and also used the Switchback Cove to help turn the ship around" said Shira

"Well who knows, maybe we'll find something interesting out here" said Ellie and Shira smiled

In the meantime, about half a mile away, Crash and Eddie were on a tree branch waiting for the herd to come by as they had set something prank-wise that they've been planning for quite a while.

"Ready Eddie" Crash whispered excitedly to his brother

"Ready Crash" Eddie whispered excitedly to his brother

"When Sid walks under the tree that water bomb we've set up will soak him all up" Crash whispered explaining to his brother

"Yeah and that'll put him out of his stench for good" Eddie whispered to his brother

"Or even better…Granny too" Crash whispered to his brother

Both possums laughed and high fived each other as they waited, in ambush, for the herd to come.

As five minutes have passed, the herd was approaching the tree and Crash and Eddie got ready in position for the right timing mark.

"On our count" Crash and Eddie whispered together

"3, 2, 1, BOMBS AWAY" Crash and Eddie whispered as they released the prank

Unfortunately, the bomb missed Sid and instead ended up going straight for Diego

When Diego cold hear the possum's voice from above, he looked straight up. "What the…"

(SPLASH)

"ARGH" Diego cringed

Diego jumped straight forward because of the shook, but he ended up jumping right into Shira and eventually knocking her down and standing right on top of her.

"Diego, what are you…" said Shira surprisingly as he blushed widely

At this point Diego finally realized who he was standing on and the position they were in, he began to blush mortifyingly as he stumbles to get off of her.

"SHIRA, I-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that I swear it was an accident, I…" said Diego as he struggles to but eventually climbs off of her.

The possums started laughed real hard but due to their lacks of hiding secret, their laughs were suddenly heard by the whole herd, especially Diego and Shira who spotted them on the tree branch still rolling and clutching like crazy.

"Eddie that wasn't even the plan" says Crash in between gasps for breath

"I know Crash, but that's what makes it's more hilarious" says Eddie in between gasps for breath

"I know right" said Crash

Diego who was now fuming with anger and revenge inside of him, had begun climbing up the tree whilst shouting out threats at Crash and Eddie, when he was close enough to them he swiped his paw at them, but he missed his targets.

"WHEN I GET A HOLD OF YOU TWO, I'M GOING TO MAKE POSSUM STEW OUT OF YOU!" Diego shouted angrily

"HE'S ON OUR TAILS CRASH!" Eddie cried fearfully

"RETREAT" Crash shouted fearfully while he and Eddie were screaming and they started running away through the trees and into the forest.

Diego roared ferociously and began chasing after the terrified possum brothers deeper into the woods. Everyone, except for Granny began to laugh once Diego and the possums were out of sight, when everyone recovered Ellie requested Shira to follow them.

"Shira would you be a dear, and make sure that my brothers come back alive and in one piece?" Ellie offered Shira

"Well I can't guarantee they'll come back alive or in one piece, but yeah sure I'll, wait a minute…" said Shira when she turned back to Ellie funny with an eyebrow rose with an awkward expression. "…you're brothers?" she asked surprisingly

"Long story, I'll explain later dear" Ellie assured her

"OOOkay then, I'll ask later" said Shira feeling pretty awkward

So Shira set off in pursuit chasing after Diego and the troublesome possum brothers.

Just then Manny came walking up to his wife's side and chuckled. "Well that was entertaining" he said sarcastically before he turns to Sid and noticed something was missing.

"Err Sid, where's Granny?" asked Manny in annoyance

"What are you talking about Manny; she's right on my b…" Sid just then realized that his Granny wasn't there and he pauses and gasps in shock. "Granny, Granny where are you Granny?" Sid called out worriedly for her but unlike her she wouldn't answer.

Manny and Ellie watched as Sid ran off searching for her in the next path till he was out of sight. This caused Manny to let out a frustrating sigh.

"Oh great not this again, he really needs to put a leash on that lady!" said Manny who was now feeling even more annoyed

"We should help Sid look for her" said Ellie

"Alright, alright, let's go" said Manny still feeling frustrated

With that Manny and Ellie began taking the path in the direction that Sid had taken off to. Just then something came up to Ellie and she taped her husband with her trunk.

"Oh Manny I almost forgot, I have something you left back after we were separated" said Ellie telling her husband

"Me? Leaving something behind? I can't think of anything I would ever keep but I sure would like to see it" said Manny wanting to see what Ellie saved for him.

Ellie then reached her trunk into her fur and pulled out what it appeared to be…a charm necklace; a necklace that was made by humans long ago that only Manny would remember, as Ellie pulled it out in front of her husband as she showed it to him. "This"

Manny looked surprisingly shocked as his eyes widened up when he saw his wife holding the charm necklace that was a gift given to him a very long time ago that belonged to a very special someone. Manny never knew he would lose this after he kept it for all these years but luckily for Ellie she managed to save it for him.

Manny gently plucked the necklace from his wife and stared at it for a brief moment before he looked at Ellie. "Where did you find this?"

"Well after the grounds started shaking, that necklace came flying towards me and I caught it. When I saw it was yours I knew it would mean something to you so I kept it safe until you were able to find us again" Ellie explain to him assuredly

"You kept this safe…for me?" asked Manny

"Why of course" Ellie assured him again. "I knew your human friend wouldn't want you to lose it anyway"

"Well Ellie I have to say, I' am very, wait…" Manny suddenly paused and he looked back at Ellie with a surprised shocked feeling. "…how do you…"

"Peaches sort of told me everything about this human that you called…umm…Pinky is it? Or whatever you called it, every time when you're talking in your sleep" Ellie explained

"Wait, I talk in my sleep?" asked Manny

"Most nights you do…sometimes when you're sleep walking" said Ellie

"When I'm what?" asked Manny turning to her surprisingly

"Nothing, nothing, just most nights" Ellie said quickly not wanting to Manny to know

"But how?" asked Manny

"Well Peaches always tells me that this 'Pinky' is someone very special to you; especially to Sid and Diego and I want to know why?" asked Ellie wanting to know about this human

Manny never thought his wife would actually ask him a question like this but he knew to himself that it's been years since he, Sid, and Diego had last saw Pinky a long ago; so in this case it would be fair enough to tell her already.

"Well you see before I met you and before we had Peaches, this Pinky was the one who actually brought me, Sid, and Diego together in the first place. Sid sort of met me during the migration of the ice age after I saved his life from being killed by rhinos and then after that we met up with Diego who tried helping us but his pack who wanted Pinky for revenge by the kid's father tried to snatch him. Eventually Diego turned on his pack and decided to stay with us and Sid kept being Sid as ever. So then the three of us ended up trying to return pinky to his father. After he was reunited, we hadn't seen him ever since" Manny explained his story

Ellie gave him a confused glance before smiling and said, "Aww you're so brave" she said sweetly

"Yep that's right, then after we met up with you, Crash and Eddie, Peaches was born and a lot of more newcomers kept on coming and going. And that's how we became a herd" Manny finished

"Wow! Crazy life for you huh?" said Ellie seeing Manny had to go through all that trouble over the years of his life.

"Yeah it's been that way, thank you" said Manny. "But I do know one thing…I miss him"

"Oh Manny, I bet wherever he is now he'd sure be happy to see you again someday" Ellie assured her husband

Manny sighed and smiled. "I know"

Manny and Ellie locked trunks together as they collided their heads together to form a hug and the two continued off on the path to where Sid had taken to find Granny.
