Well here it is the chapter when Diego tells Shira his feelings and what will Unika do
Unika POV
Unika was going to find the herd when she saw Diego hiding and looking at something, when Unika took seven more steps still hiding from Diego and she saw Shira looking at the moon that made her fur a beautiful silver.
'so that's what Diego was looking at' Unika said in her head and said "I knew it Diego did wanted her more than a friend" Unika said to herself and accidently step on a twig that it made Diego turn around and growl but stop when he saw it was just Unika.
"oh it's just you" Diego said "sorry if I'm disturbing you" Unika apologise to Diego.
"It's ok I know you teenagers just want to see something interesting" Diego said and look away embarrass that someone saw him looking at Shira.
Unika think for a while and said
"Diego if you like Shira so much…then tell her how you feel" Unika said trying to help
"What if she doesn't feel the same way?" Diego said worriedly
"not until you know" Unika said and smile at Diego who smile back "your right" Diego said
"now go to her and use all the confidence you have to say does 3 little words" Unika said giving Diego some space and Diego was about to go to her but before he did he turned to Unika and said
"thank you Unika…you know your much a better helper than Manny or Sid" Diego said while smiling.
"don't mention it….you don't mind if I watch….right?" Unika said with a smile
"ok but only you can watch….and don't tell Sid or the possums" Diego said with a glare.
"promise…..now go" Unika said and hide in the bushes and Diego went off.
Diego POV
Shira heard some footsteps and turned around with a growl but soon stop when she saw Diego.
"What do you want?" Shira said in a cold tone.
"I just came here to um….uh" Diego stop when he was about to get nervous from Shira's eyes.
Unika POV
Unika was in the bushes watching Diego getting nervous
"come on Diego you can do it" Unika said trying to cheer him on without making Shira to hear it.
Unika think for a while and had an idea.
Unika went away for a second and went to the herd's cave.
Unika went inside to see Ellie and Peaches sleeping upside down like a possum with Crash and Eddie at the next tree branch and saw some stinks under them.
Unika grab one of the sticks and look at it that it was a straw for shooting pebbles (or paper in their world).
Unika went back to where Diego and Shira is in.
Unika put one small but hard pebble inside and tried to focus at her aim to hit his head and said
"ok in the count of three I shoot" Unika said to herself and got ready
"one….two….three…SHOOT!" Unika said and fired.
Diego POV
Shira was getting angry and said
"oh Diego just spit it out!" Shira said
And a hard pebble hit Diego's head and Diego said
"I LOVE YOU" Diego said so fast but Shira was able to hear it that made her eyes turn wide and made her face turn red.
Diego notices to what he said and hid his face from his big blush and said
"wait…um…..Shira that's what I really me—" Diego wasn't able to finish his sentence when Shira run up to him and kissed him full at the lips
Unika POV
Unika couldn't believe to what she was seeing also she was too young for this and look away but continue watching and said
"their you go Diego"
Diego and Shira POV
Shira broke their lock to see Diego's eyes turned wide.
"are you ok Softie?" Shira said with a smile and soon Diego went out of his trance when she said 'Softie'
"you called me what?" Diego said going near her but she nuzzle his neck instead and he said "you know what …you can call me that" Diego said and nuzzle her head
"Did you really mean that?" Shira said with her eyes close
"yep I mean it" Diego said still nuzzling her and broke their lock
"What's wrong?" Shira said worriedly
"um… Shira this may be so fast but…will you be my mate?" Diego said with a smile
And Shira said something in her head 'I can't believe he actually wants me to be his mate I always wanted him to be mine' she said in her head and nuzzle him again.
"oh Diego of course I will" Shira said with joy.
"really?" Diego said with joy too.
"yeah" Shira said "should we tell the herd" Shira ask her new mate.
"let's tell them tomorrow also it's getting late lets go" Diego said and walk back to the herd with Shira.
But before that he waited for a while when Shira was faraway already and look back at the bushes to see Unika watching them and he smiled at her and Unika smiled back.
"Diego are you coming!" Shira called him "yeah I'm coming" and Diego went away with his mate.
Unika POV
"well that went well good job me my work here is done" Unika said to herself and was going back to her friends and take a nap when she saw something move at the bushes and said
"maybe it was just the wind" Unika said and went to her friends that their cave wasn't that fasr from the herd Unika look inside that Hedwig and Sarah are fast asleep on their sleeping spots and this time Sarah hang upside down on a branch like how possums sleep.
Unika went to her sleeping spot and think for a while to think if it was the wind and it's not that bad here in the Ice age but the one that's more troubling her is what if it wasn't the wind that move the bushes and went to sleep.
