Aaliyah's POV
Manny and I were carrying some wood with no problem while Sid was carrying one stick but to him it felt like more then that. I looked at him feeling sorry for the poor guy. He lacked upper body strength and that his family abandoned looked at him and said "That's your shelter?" Sid looked at us and said "Hey your big guy, you got a lot of wood I'm a little guy" Manny looked at me then to Sid as he said "Sid, Ali is smaller then me and yet she has ton of wood. Plus your carrying half a stick." I looked at my wood I was carrying and he was right. "I hate to say it but it's true. I'm smaller yet I have a lot of wood like Manny " "Well yeah but your a saber." "So?" I said with a brow raised. "So you have more strength. You sabers are stronger then any mammals that don't have tusks or anything like that. Your supposed to be strong" Manny sighed and said "She may be a saber but she is strong on her own. Most saber girls aren't strong remember?" Oh yeah I forgot that saber girls aren't as strong as male sabers but none the less I was trained by mom and dad to be strong. I still wish they were here now. "Oh yeah but still with my little stick and my highly evolved brain" Manny and I both looked at each other with the 'oh-yeah-right-evolved' look then Sid wacked himself and said "I shall create fire." "Fascinating" then we started to build our shelters. He broke the stick in half and said "We'll see if brains triumph over brawns tonight now won't we?" Manny and I exchange a brow raised look at each other knowing Sid lacks both brains and brawn as we continued to build our shelters
~Few Hours Later~
Manny was lying in his shelter and I was in mine as we watch Sid in the pouring rain trying to start a fire. "Hey I think I saw a spark" Manny said. Sid looked hopeful but then he was sad. He walked over to Manny and said "Any chance I can squeeze in there with you Manny old pal?" Manny rolled his eyes and said "Isn't there someone else you can annoy? Friends? Family? Posionous Reptiles?" "Well like I said my family abandoned me. They just migrated without me. You should've seen what they did last year. You know what I mean. They woke up early, then they quietly tie my hands and feet together, then they gagged me with a field mouse, barricaded the cave door and covered their tracks, went through water so I'd lose their scent, and-and who needs them anyway? He tried to get comfortable on one of Manny's tusks. I sighed and just lied my head down as I heard a thump. "So what about you, you have family?" It was silent. I guess Manny didn't answer. "Alright we'll talk more in the morning" It started to hail and I slowly drift to sleeping listening to the sound of hail.
~Skip To Morning~
I woke up and went hunting. I ate some deer then came back to see Manny and Sid up. "Well morning boys" I said with a bit country accent in my voice. "Morning" They said in unison. "So where are we off to?" I ask stretching. "I was thinking maybe that way" Manny said pointing one way with his trunk. I look that way and said "Alright" We started walking that way. A few minutes after we started walking, Sid started talking about his family or atleast I think he was. I wasn't paying attention. I looked at Manny with a 'he-is-so-annoying' look. He rolled his eyes and gave me a 'tell-me-about-it' look. I nod then roll my eyes at Sid. How long are we gonna be stuck with him? We walked into an area with cherry blossoms as Sid continued talking. I looked at Manny with a 'will-he-ever-shut-up?' look and he shook his sighing. I knew that was a no and I sighed too. I saw a human up ahead and both Manny and I stopped. Sid bumped into us and said "Manny? Ali?" He went pass us and saw the human. The woman looked at us and then looked down at the thing she carried in her arms. She puts the thing towards us and it was rolling back to her but then Manny stopped it and brought it to us. We looked at it to see a baby, who was asleep but then woke up when he saw us. Sid went in front of him and said "Look at him he's okay!" The baby smiled at us as we looked to the woman to see her gone. "She's gone" Sid said. Manny was walking away as Sid and I looked at it. "Wait Manny aren't you forgetting something?" "No" "But you just saved him" "Yeah Manny. We can't just leave him here." Manny stopped as Sid picked the baby up. "Look there is smoke. That's his herd up the hill." "We should return him" I add. Manny groans and said "Fine so how may I ask do you plan on getting up there?" Sid and I exchange smirks then walk over to the waterfall with Manny right behind us.
