So terribly sorry for the wait. It's best to not get into details on why this wasn't updated sooner than now. But here's a new chapter so enjoy!

More violence and blood.

Angel: *is still glaring at Buck*

Buck: *is sitting on top of a book shelf far away from Angel* Why me?...

Me: I don't own Ice Age which means I don't own any of its characters. If there's a character that you don't know they most likely belong to me unless I say otherwise.

We'll Go Together

Chapter 3

-*this is a line*-

Angel lay on her back staring at the ceiling to the cave. The jungle was quiet that night, and as Buck and Trey lay on their own pile of leaves sleeping, the female weasel had yet to have the joy of rest yet. She sat up, grabbed her sword, and walked off into the jungle.

"When will this stop?..." she thought to herself.

"When you finally let it go" a small voice in the back of her head replied.

"How can I forget? My family is gone and I didn't do anything to try and help them!"

"What could you do? You're still just a kid."

"So? That doesn't change anything!"

"Exactly. They aren't coming back so let it go. Move on. You have new priorities."

"I can't just move on… the memories… they'll never go away…"

"True… but you still have yet to figure out what to do about that problem."

"Well what do I do?..."

The voice in her head chuckled. "That's for you to figure out."

Angel stopped walking and looked up at the 'sky'. "Kelly… Dad… what do I do?.."

Angel sighed and turned around to head back to the cave. As she was walking she heard a snap of a branch and perked her ears up. "Buck?... Trey?..." Angel stood her ground and looked around tightening the grip she had on her sword.

The attack came from the left.

Angel just barely made it out of the way as something flew past her head. She glared at the bushes as a pair of violet eyes glowed in the darkness. The weasel hissed as something flew past her head again. The creature the eyes belonged to screeched and charged out of its hiding place toward her. The last thing Angel saw was a bright blue body along with an even brighter pink and purple frill before a stinging pain and darkness.

She fell to the ground screaming and clawing at the sticky goo that now covered her face. She heard hissing and felt the hot breath of the dinosaur that attacked against her back. She felt as its teeth began to squeeze into her body and her mouth began to fill with the metallic taste of her own blood. Angel screamed out at the top of her lungs with the last bit of strength she had before passing out.

-*this is a line*-

Buck looked down at Angel for what seemed to be the hundredth, no, millionth time that afternoon. If it weren't for the steady rise and fall of her chest he'd have thought she was dead. The male sighed and closed his eye. He had almost been too late. If he wouldn't have woken up when he did…

*flashback! O3O fishy face!*

Buck opened his eye groggily and sat up looking around the cave. Trey was laying on his side, one of his legs twitching as his tongue hung out of his mouth in his sleep. The weasel couldn't help but chuckle at this. He glanced over at where Angel was sleeping only to see her makeshift bed empty. Buck's ears fell as he jumped up and ran to the entrance of the cave. He picked up Angel's scent and ran through the jungle on all fours while carrying his knife in his mouth. He heard a shriek and pushed himself to run faster.

"If I don't hurry," he thought "it won't matter if she's eaten, she'll still die!"

Buck skidded to a stop in a small clearing under the glow of the moonlight. The grass was being stained crimson as the young female weasel's blood covered it. Hearing Angel's scream triggered something deep inside of the male… an inner more primal Buck that shattered it's way free. A snarl ripped it's way past bared fangs and he lunged toward the dinosaur; his knife lying forgotten on the ground.

The dinosaur roared in pain as the weasel's fangs and claws found and tore their way at its neck staining the ground even more. With a final cry the dinosaur fell to the ground as the loss of blood took its toll. Buck backed away from the body slowly while looking at his blood-soaked paws and fur.

"What… what just happened?..." he asked quietly out loud.

He turned and looked at the other weasel laying unconscious and picked her up along with their weapons and rushed to get them both clean off before returning to the cave.

*end flashback*

Buck sighed as Trey looked up at him whimpering. The male rubbed the babies snout and smiled softly. "Don't worry, she'll pull thorough." Buck sighed again as he looked back at Angel. "She's lucky actually. Not only is she still alive but she won't go blind." Trey laid his head back down and whimpered quietly as Buck continued to pet the top of his head.

-*look I'm a line!*-

Amber eyes opened slowly as a hiss escaped from Angel. Buck perked up his ears and looked down at her. "So, how was the nap?" Angel groaned and threw an arm over her face while mumbling. "Well, that's wonderful!" Trey ran over to her squealing and nuzzled her cheek as she put her other paw on his head. Angel moved her arm and looked at the young dinosaur. "Hey buddy… What happened to your patch?..." Trey purred and rubbed his head against her paw. The leaf that had been tied over his injured eye had been removed and all the female could see was a pale yellow eye with a scar running over it.

"I figured it was healed after he stopped messing with it for a few days, so I took it off."

"Wait, what the hell do you mean by 'a few days'? How long have I been asleep?" Angel yelled as she sat up.

"About…. Four days?"

"FOUR DAYS?"

Buck sat on a rock and began sharpening his knife. "Yep."

"Didn't you try waking me up?"

"Yep."

"Do you know what happened in the first place that made me sleep for that long?"

"Yep."

"Can you say something else other than 'yep'?"

"…. Nope."

Angel growled and glared at Buck.

"You need to take it easy. We'll be staying her for a while. At least till you're feeling better."

"But-"

"No buts! Rule number one: Always listen to Buck!"

"Fine…."

-*zomg another line!*-

"Buck?..." "Hm?" "What happened to me?..." Buck sat up from laying in his previous position on his back and looked over at Angel. Her eyes were glued to the 'sky' as pterosaurs flew by and she had an unreadable expression on her face. "You almost died. I thought that was obvious?" "….." Buck sighed. "Apparently you thought it would have been a good idea to wander around alone at night." "I couldn't sleep…" "You should have woke me up, we could have talked or played I spy or something." "How did you find me?..." "Followed your scent and your screams." "What was that thing?..." "Not your average dino." "What do you mean by that?..." "Didn't you feel a horrible burning pain in your eyes?" "Um… I honestly can't remember…" Buck sighed and lied back down. "Damn dino… It spits some kind of venom at its prey; always aims for the face. It causes blindness and paralysis." "So… why can I see if it attacked me-" "I found you fast enough to get that crap off of your face." He answered before rolling onto his side with his back to the female. Angel looked over at Buck. "Why do you seem so… angry?" "I warned you!" the male yelled as he got up and stood over her. "I told you not to go out there, especially at night!" "I'm sorry, but I had a lot of stuff on my mind!" "That doesn't mean to go out and get yourself killed!" Angel walked over to the corner of the cave and curled up in it. Buck stood there as the sunlight made its way through the trees. "You have no idea how many things live down here that can kill you…" he said as he made his way to the female. "All I'm asking as of now, is to not get yourself killed… can you do that?" "….. Yeah…"

Buck went back to his leaf pile. "I'm sorry for yelling earlier but you just don't seem to understand how dangerous it is here…."

"Then teach me."

"What?" The male rolled onto his side and looked over at the female.

"Teach me what you know about this place."

Buck smiled. "Alright, but that requires a field trip and you still need to get some more rest. You'll have to wait until you get better."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Ok then."

Trey made his way over to Angel and curled up against her closing his eyes as she started petting him. "Hey Buck?" "Yeah?" "Thank you."

"It's nothing. I'm glad to help."

So that's it. Again, so sorry about how long it took.

Me: *gives Buck a cookie and points to Angel*

Buck: *shakes head*

Me: Go play nice. *grabs him and puts him on the floor*

Buck: *looks at Angel and holds out cookie*

Angel: *stare*

Buck: o_o;

Angel: *takes cookie and gives Buck half before sitting on the bed and eating it*

Me: See, she isn't all that bad.

Buck: *faints from being so scared*

Me: You can go one on one with a giant dinosaur but you can't with a girl. Wow Buck.
-_-;

A/N The dinosaur that attacked and got it's ass kicked was a Dilophosaurus. The coloring I chose for it? Got the idea from playing Fossil Fighters too much. The dinos in that game are too cute and the game itself is addicting! :3
