What's up my readers! Another exciting chapter has arrived! Thanks again White Hunter for your review and you too princessem1020. For the rest of you following and listening out there, please, sit back and enjoy the next chapter.
P.S. some of the content that I'm adding (as you may know or not) is from Ice Age: Collision Course.
The day was young and there was so much to do on this normal day. Or as Ellie would say, this very "special" day. Meanwhile, Sid was busy putting the finishing touches with his candles in the Proposal Area. It would appear that the sloth was preparing something very special of his own today.
Sid sighs lovingly, "My darling, so many ladies have tried and failed to strap a saddle on Sid the stallion"
(SID NEIGHED LIKE A STALLION)
"But I want to share everything with you! You're the wind beneath my fleas. The algae of my eyes. Will you be my mate for life," Sid said, puckering his lips and kissing his ice mirror with one leg up until he suddenly heard his name calling for him
"Sid" a voice called, "Sidney, where are you?"
A female sloth appeared who had followed a pink pedal trail, Sid had left for her. Her name was Francine. Now Francine was one of the sassiest sloths to go around. She had a red pelt with spots, and light green eyes. She also had dark claws and short brown scalp hair to go with it. She was, without any doubt, Sid's girlfriend.
Sid gasped and he ripped his lips off this ice, forcing the ice to came off with it.
"Francine" Sid muffled, with the ice stuck to his lips
Sid waddled over to her and by that time, again, yanked off the ice from his lips and threw it away. He then looked up at Francine lovingly.
"I gotta ask you something. Will you marry…" Sid said, taking her by the claws
But Francine pulled her claws back, "Sid, I'm going to stop you right there. I'm breaking up with you"
"WHAT?!" Sid exclaimed, "But I planned our whole future!"
Sid began showing all the things he had planned for Francine and him by presenting their wedding, their future children, their burial plots, and including a band that he hired to play music.
(BAND STARTS PLAYING)
Sid quickly stopped them, "No, no. Not yet!"
"Are you crazy! We've only had 'one' date. It lasted fourteen minutes" Francine said
"Yes, but it felt like twenty" Sid said, pulling out the wedding ring
"Ughh! I can't. A ring? I mean I like the ring, but no, I can't! You're too clingy" Francine said, walking away
Sid grasped onto Francine's neck, "How is this clingy?"
Francine removed Sid off of her letting him fall to the ground, "And by the way, you look nothing like your profile picture. Francine, you gotta start dating outside of your species"
Meanwhile, Roshan and Lee were walking through the wilderness having a brotherly bond with each other.
"So Lee, uhh, how'd you get here?" Roshan questioned
Lee rubbed the back of this head. "If I tell ya, you wouldn't believe me"
"Its just that we're brothers now and I think that maybe we should get the opportunity to know each other" Roshan said
"It's just that…well…I'm a little shy about it" Lee mentioned
"Bud, you can tell me. Whatever it is I'll understand" Roshan assured
"No you won't! You won't understand. Not everybody has what I got and it just makes them laugh. I'm sure you'll laugh too" Lee said, getting overwhelmed
"I wouldn't laugh at you. It's okay to not talk about it. Hey, if it makes you feel any better I won't ask again" Roshan said
Lee sighed. "Wait. I guess I can tell you. You see, I can talk to…"
(FRANCINE GRUNTS IN ANNOYANCE)
The two stopped when they spotted a sassy female spotted reddish brown sloth marching forward when she stopped in front of Roshan, glaring at him.
"Francine" Roshan said
"Animal whisperer, please tell that miserable excuse for a prick to get real! Otherwise he'll never have a family of his own someday which I'm sure, as hell, know that he never will. Good day!" Francine shouted, in front of the human's face
Francine then turned down to Lee, "Excuse my language, pipsqueak"
Francine began walking away from the twosome until Sid rushed out to stop her. "Franny, we can work this out. Is this about the bikini?"
(BIKINI SMACKS RIGHT INTO SID'S FACE)
"OW!" Sid cried, "I didn't know it was poison ivy"
Sid started crying, knowing that yet another woman has dumped him. He wiped his tears and blew his nose with the bikini that he didn't know was still the poison ivy. It wasn't too long before his eyes and nose started swelling up into a pink-puffy disorder.
"Oh! Uh-oh. Franny. Franny, help! Somebody" Sid cried, making the animals run away
Roshan and Lee quickly rushed over to Sid's care as the teen boy tried to keep his sloth friend from breaking down.
"Sid, Sid! Easy there" Roshan said, holding him up
"Roshan? Is that you? Where are you? Everything is so dark?" Sid said, waving his hands. "Is there an eclipse going on?"
"Relax, Sid. Just take a seat" Roshan said, carefully setting Sid down on the floor. "What happened back there?"
Sid sniffled, "Francine dumped me!"
"Francine did? Gee, Sid, I'm sorry, " Roshan said, "Wait a minute. You were dating Franc-? W-What happened to Gazzi?"
"Oh I didn't tell you yet but I will anyway. You see the last few months, she said, were the greatest she ever had. But as it turns out she revealed to me that she was….was…a Sapphic!" Sid said, whimpering
Roshan's eyes widened, "Really?"
"Yes. So, we agreed to go our separate ways and meet new people for now on. And ever since that day, I've been trying to find a new lover" Sid explained, "But I blew it again!"
(SID'S CRYING CONTINUES)
Roshan comforted his friend while Sid continued balling his eyes out with sadness. "I'm sorry to hear about that, Sid. I'm really sorry"
(LEE LAUGHING)
Lee couldn't hold his breath any longer as the young boy bursted out into laughter seeing what happened to the sloth's face when he rubbed it with poison ivy.
"That sloth is funny!" Lee cried
"Who's laughing? Who else is here?!" Sid asked, waving his arms around
"Oh yeah. Lee this is one of my animal guardians who saved my life that I was telling you about. Lee meet Sid. Sid the sloth" Roshan introduced. "Sid the sloth, this is Lee…my new little brother"
"BROTHER?!" Sid cried, with excitement. "You didn't tell me you had a little brother. Where is he? I'd like to see him"
Lee waved his hand out. "I'm over here, Mr. Sloth"
Sid continuously waved his paws around but was too blind to even see anything.
"Keep talking, kid. I'll find you. Wherever you are" Sid said, walking around the boy in complete circles
Unfortunately, because of Sid's condition to not see from the poison ivy that he had rubbed over his eyes, the sloth began walking in different amounts of directions as to tumbling onto floors, bumping into branches/trees, and especially falling down long hills (which he just did!). Roshan and Lee watched until Sid hit the bottom of the hill.
(THUDDING, BUMPING, CRASHING)
"I'm okay!" Sid called
Lee chuckled, "I like him. He's nice and stupid"
(ELK SCREAMING IN THE DISTANCE)
The two boys spun around when an elk came dashing towards them until he came to a complete stop right in front of the two.
"Oh thank goodness, thank goodness!" The elk said, in relief. "She's after me! Hide me, hide me!"
"Uhhh…she'll never look there" Roshan said, pointing to the big log
The elk quickly ducked into the big log as said in hoping that the beast, who was chasing after him, won't suspect to find him at all.
"Who's 'she' exactly?" Lee asked
Unaware to his little brother, Roshan spot a female sabertooth tiger coming right towards them, at full speed. Roshan acted quickly and grabbed his little brother to get him out of the way.
"LOOK OUT!" Roshan shouted
"Huh?" Lee said
(SABERTOOTH ROARING)
The female sabertooth tiger jumped over the two human kids and she skidded to a complete stop. Lee hid behind his big brother as Roshan studied the sabertooth until he realized who it was. It was Shira.
(SHIRA PANTING)
(ROSHAN PANTING)
(LEE WHIMPERING)
"Would it kill you to keep it on a fifty-five?" Roshan said, panting in relief
"Sorry kid" Shira said, apologetically. "Be lucky you didn't become road kill"
Roshan chuckled. "I know. How can I stay mad at you"
Shira made her way over and rested her chin over the boy's shoulder allowing Roshan nuzzle her back in a hug fashion way. Roshan then scratched behind sabress's ears making Shira purr with delight.
"It's been a while, Roshan" Shira said. "And I see you've made a new friend"
(LEE GASPS AND HIDES HIS FACE UNDER HIS HAT)
Roshan whispered into Shira's ear, "He's actually my little brother"
Shira's eyes popped and she rose a brow at the human. The female sabertooth studied the younger human and tried to compare him to Roshan, but she couldn't sense anything related about them.
"Little brother? Him?" Shira questioned. "No offense, Roshan, but I don't see any resemblance"
Roshan grunted in frustration and began explaining everything to Shira in secret. Moments later, Lee tried to find somewhere to hide as he ducked behind a big rock so that the female sabress wouldn't catch him. Once Roshan got to the end, Shira was left with bewilderment.
"Oh…well…congratulations" Shira said, "I think"
"Lee's new here and I would really appreciate it if you didn't scare the daylight out of him on his first day" Roshan said, to her
"Good point" Shira said, "So where is little tyke? I would like say hello"
(ROSHAN SHUSHING)
Roshan pointed into the direction of the big rock; where Lee was hiding. Shira winked and she quietly made her way over so as not to frighten the small human child away. She jumped onto the big rock and looked over and saw Lee burying his head down in his knees.
"Roshan! Is 'it' gone?" Lee called
Shira smirked at Roshan before he answered back, "Yeah, Lee, she's gone"
Lee uncovered his eyes jumped up excitedly. "Oh good what a re-AAAGGGHHH!"
The boy screamed in terror when he looked up and saw the female sabertooth looking over him. Shira jumped down and looked at the boy with a face of calmness. Lee shivered as if his life was about to be over as he tried to not make a single move so the the sabress wouldn't attack.
"Please don't eat me" Lee begged
(SHIRA CHUCKLING)
"Eat you?" Shira said, "Don't be ridiculous, squirt, you're not even big enough for a snack"
"But you're a sabertooth tiger" Lee said, "Aren't you gonna eat me?"
"Not today. Not ever" Shira answered, with a smile
Roshan knelt down to be beside his little brother, "Lee it's okay. She's one of the good ones. Go on, pet her"
(LEE NERVOUSLY GULPS)
Lee held out one hand; he then covered his eyes with the other hand. Shira smiled and pressed her hand against the boy's allowing the scared human to feel her soft fur. The boy peeked a little and was a bit surprised to see a sabertooth acting so gentle towards him. Lee looked at Roshan worriedly before his older brother smiled back at him and nodded. Feeling a lot more calmed, Lee continued petting the silver sabress as she let out a loud soothing purr.
(PURRING)
Lee smiled and chuckled, "You really are one of the good ones"
(SHIRA LOVINGLY LICKS LEE IN THE CHEEK)
(LEE GIGGLING)
"Now are you convinced, little one?" Shira asked, smiling
Lee nodded, "Yes ma'm"
Shira smiled and nodded. "By the way, have either of you seen an elk run by here? Its almost lunch time and my babies will be starved if I don't get them something to eat"
Roshan nervously chuckled and shook his head, "Nope. Haven't seen one"
"He's certainly not inside the log over there" Lee said, pointing to the big log
(LEE CLAMPS HIS MOUTH SHUT WITH HIS HANDS)
"RATS!" The elk shrieked, in defeat
(ELK EXITS LOG AND BEGINS RUNNING AWAY AGAIN)
(ELK SCREAMING IN TERROR)
Shira turned back and smiled at the two humans, "Thank-you boys. See you later"
(SHIRA SNARLING)
(ROARING)
(ELK SCREAMING)
"Oh no! Ohh no! No, leave me alone!" The elk cried
(SHIRA ROARING)
(ELK SOBBING)
"Leave me alone, please!" The elk cried
(ROARING FADES INTO THE DISTANCE)
The two boys watched in awe before Roshan suddenly crossed his arms and looked down at Lee with a frown after what he just did to the poor elk.
Lee chuckled nervously, "Did I do that?"
Phew! What chapter and a funny one too! I guess you can say I gave Francine a shot and, BOY, was she sassy! Lee got a chance to meet Sid and Shira in this chapter, which I think was a good idea. Anyway please review and stay tuned because more fun will be coming your way soon!
