Hey I've been geeting some great rewiews so far. Thanks ;) ok so in this chapter… im not telling ya. U just have 2 read it!

An Angel for the summer Chapter three- Who are you?

"What… you don't mean… you didn't…" Diego stammered with his words.

"Diego. You don't exist anymore."

"But just 'cuz I said- it doesn't mean…"

"Its alright Diego. I mean this is what you wanted. To be away from Crash and Eddie's pranks, and the constant strain life is. Now you don't have to worry about anything it's just you and… you."

"B-B-B-B-But what about Manny, Sid, Ellie, Eddie, Crash, Genna and Katie? What about them. They'll be really w-w-worried. You know. Once they can't find me."

"Diego. Since you were never born… The herd has been reduced to Manny, Sid, Ellie, Crash and Eddie and Genna."

"But… but what about me?" Diego asked.

"What about you? If you approached one of them they would freak out because since you don't exist. They don't know you."

"And Katie. What about her?"

"The herd never met Katie. After her pack was killed by those humans she joined a different saber pack."

"So… the herd… never met Katie… and they…don't know," there was a hard pause before Diego spoke again but he finally said, "they don't know me."

"Yes." Said Leo, his words were kind but they hurt Diego like a spear going into his chest.

"Ok." Diego looked down. The place he was in was all misty and bright with white. The lighting made Diego have to squint his eyes.

"Where are we?" He finally asked Leo.

"We're not in heaven if that's what you're thinking. But we're also not in hell or purgatory. Its just a realm where sometimes other spirits go to communicate to each other. Like what we're doing right now.

"Oh." Diego said. "Well can I at least look at how the world is right now then?"

"I don't know you might get deeply upset-"

"Please… I'll do anything."

"Alright but don't get upset when you see it."

"Thank you." Diego said as he thought, 'well it cant get any worse.' But as you all know when you say or think that… it always DOES! Lol

"Diego, I want you to take my paw." Leo instructed.

Diego took Leo's paw.

"Now, close your eyes and I'll take it from here." Diego closed his eyes tightly. "Relax! You have to be calm in order for this to even work."

Diego relaxed a little and then he felt like he had been lifted from the ground that he had once been standing on. Then he felt a sort of lightness as if Diego and Leo were being carried in the air. And down they went to Earth.

------------------------

"Here we are… the world- at least NOW the world. Without you." Leo said as they landed safely behind a tree.

The tigers looked around. Everything looked the same. It was a very sunny day the temperature was a little warm.

"Can we go to my… er… my old cave?" Diego asked finally.

"Sure." Leo said and the two vanished. Once they arrived at the cave, the two hid behind a tree.

Just then Diego and Leo saw Sid run into the cave.

"Manny, Ellie oh can we please go to the meadow for dinner to night? Please, please, PLEASE!!!!!!!" Sid moaned.

"For what?" Manny looked skittish.

"Fast Tony is selling his, ladies man cologne and I've gotta have it! I need a girlfriend so desperately and Fast Tony even said, ten out of ten males that used this had a mate with in that same night, you see!?"

"Sid you should know that Fast Tony's stuff is a load of crap. Come on! Has anything you bought done what you expected it to?" Manny glared at the sloth in his stupidity.

"He is a sucker for what ever Fast Tony sells," Diego made a fake smile which Leo detected right away.

"Why the fake smile Diego?" Leo said.

"Fake? I don't know what you're talking about." Diego said and smiled, "see I'm so happy right now that I DON'T EXIST!" Diego glared at Leo then softened his look. He then said, "I'm sorry." It took Diego a moment before he said, "could I just please go back to Earth… I need to."

"Diego. You're not getting this. You were never born. This isn't a game we're playing where when things get rough you just quit playing the game. This is real life and so when you said 'I wish I was never born you were never born.'" Diego tried to protest but he couldn't think of what else to say! What could he say?

"So this is permanent. There's no way to-" Diego was interrupted by the herd walking out the "door."

Sid followed by Manny's side saying, "Oh thank you thank you thank you!"

"Ya we're ONLY going because Ellie wants to."

Manny looked at Ellie who then looked at him Eddie and Crash jumped on to Ellie's tusks. Then Genna scampered after Manny and Ellie saying, "wait for me I have little legs!"

Diego smiled then frowned and said to Leo, "we have to go to the meadow."

"Why… you missing your old life?" Leo asked, Diego then didn't want to show weakness by admitting he'd give anything to have it back so he just shrugged and said,

"I guess maybe a little. I just wanna see what's going on."

"Right…" Leo said. Then the two tigers got poofed there in less than two seconds.

A few minutes later the whole rest of the herd arrived.

"You'll just look like an ordany saber to the rest of the animals and I'll be invisible to everyone except for you." Leo said.

Diego just nodded.

Manny, Ellie, Eddie, Crash, Sid and Genna walked past the two tigers Diego was about to yell out but he stopped himself. He didn't wanna look like a fool in front of his guardian angel. And besides, it would be pointless they didn't know who he was and who would believe him if he told them what was going on? Oh you don't know me and you've never seen me in your life but you see I was whipped off of the face of the Earth- but before that we were really close friends.

Manny edged closer to Ellie, "maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Look there's a saber by that rock and he is staring right at us."

"Lets just walk away from him and if he gets any closer we should leave."

Sid ran off to find Fast Tony and buy the Lady's Man Cologne. Crash and Eddie were already eating some weeds and Genna was running around.

"Ok…" Manny said warily and he eyed Diego and walked off with Ellie.

---------------------------------------------------------

Genna who loved to make every kind of friend she could ran off and then she started to spin in circles. Diego was watching Genna.

"She's cute isn't she?" Leo said.

"Ya she's really perky too… I swear that kid like NEVER slept in her life!" Diego said.

Genna then ran into Diego by spinning so hard.

"Oh… sorry Mr." She said, "you see it's just fun to spin and I didn't pay attention to where I was going."

"It's fine Genna. Wow it seems like forever since I saw you!" Diego said. (stupidly might I add.)

"Pardon me but… do I even know you?" She asked with curious eyes looking at Diego.
"OH!!!! HA HA HA!!!!" Diego said, "No you don't. But do you wanna go over to the lake?"

Leo then appeared in front of Diego and waved his paws 'no.' But Diego didn't care he wanted to spend time with Genna. Only problem, Crash and Eddie saw.

------------------------------------------

Sid walked up to Fast Tony and asked, "I'd like to purchase the, Lady's Man Cologne, please."

"Excellent choice my friend! And might I say that this fine item is enriched with some sunflower, herbs and spices and a hint of mint extract. So that'll make your scent irresistible!" Fast Tony campaigned.

"Wow really?" Sid asked.

"Oh yes my friend. Just ask the other animals who tried this product." Which was a signal Fast Tony gave to his bran new assistant, Tom, he was a gytolopodan, ( I no I'm not the world's best speller but… deal with it.)

But Tom did nothing.

A few seconds later Fast Tony repeated, in a harsher tone, as Sid stared blankly at the two animals, "I said, Just ask the OTHER animals that tried this product!"

Finally, Tom caught on, "oops sorry boss was that the signal?" Sid glared at Fast Tony who then slapped his face as Tom kept going on with his line. Tom said in a scripted sounding voice, "Oh… me, me I have tried this fine product… Man's Lady, oh, I mean Lady's Man," Fast Tony shook his head as Tom kept going, "My results were fabulous! I got a d-a-t-e that's right a DATE in just 12 hours!"

"Hey… I'm not THAT stupid!" Sid said, mad as he walked away from Fast Tony and Tom the cheesy actor.

As Sid went away Fast Tony glared at Tom and said, "you are so… FIRED!"

---------------------------------

Crash and Eddie ran up to Manny and Ellie and said, "Manny, Ellie!"

"What!" They both said at the same time.

"Genna." Crash started.

"A hungry tiger." Eddie added in.

Manny and Ellie looked at each other, worriedly.

"What about Genna and this TIGER!" Ellie glared at the boys.

"Well Genna ran into this random tiger and apologized, the tiger said it was alright and seemed to know her name!" Crash yelled.

"And the worst of it is, he asked if she would want to go to the water hole with him." Eddie began.

"AND SHE SAID YES!" The two possums concluded.

Manny and Ellie gasped, then Manny started running, "Where are you going?" Ellie asked worriedly.

"To find Genna and this TIGER!" Manny sneered back.

Ellie then started crying and her brothers ran to her side to comfort her.

----------------------------

"This is FUN!" Genna exclaimed, splashing in the water.

"Ya! I'm glad you're having a good time kid!" Diego said.

"You're a really nice tiger." Genna said.

"Thanks." Diego said.

"My mommy and daddy said tigers are evil demons. They kill all the time and show NO mercy and all tigers are doomed to go to a bad place when they die… Hell! But they say not to use that word. But they say all tigers deserve to die." Genna smiled at Diego not knowing how what she just said made Diego feel.

"Really? Do you believe them?" Diego asked.

"NO WAY! Especially not after meeting you! You're so cool! I wish you were my uncle." She exclaimed.

All of a sudden, Diego felt terribly heart-broken. "You don't know how bad I want to be your uncle again kid."

"What do you mean by again?" Genna asked, and then Diego smiled and said,

"Oh, nothing at all. Just-" Diego was interrupted by Manny.

He stormed over and took Genna as much as Genna protested, squirmed and screamed. "Don't you EVER go near tigers, you hear me? You could have been killed." Many scolded her.

"Daddy let go of me! He's a nice tiger."

"Ya… nice before he rips your head off!" Manny said, "and YOU if you go ANY WHERE near my daughter! You WILL get hurt badly." With that Manny left.

Leo appeared, "Diego, I'm sorry. But they didn't know you! Diego, Do you wanna go?"

"No," Diego's answer surprised the angel, " I wanna see everyone again."

Leo sighed, but seeing there was no reasoning with him, the two came to the cave.

Diego knocked on the outside of the cave. Ellie came and saw Diego.

"Uhhh." Ellie stammered with the words and looked at Diego.

"Ellie, My names Diego. Please this may sound weird but I wasn't trying to hurt your daughter." Diego said.

"M-mmanny?" She quietly squeaked.

"Ellie, do you remember me? DIEGO!"

Ellie shook her head and just said… "who are you? Go away… please."

"Ellie? Sid? Crash, Eddie?"

"Get away! Get away from me?" She gasped. And Diego sighed and walked away.

As Leo appeared, Diego said, Take me away… take me away. TAKE ME ANYWHERE BUT HERE!" Diego yelled.

"Alright." Leo and Diego then disappeared into the mist.
