Hey everybody! Well, this is the last chapter! I know, it's sad. But don't worry, we will find what will happen in this chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 12: Where they truly belong
After the school dance when Sid and Diego got home, when everybody went to bed, Manny and Ellie stayed up, and decided to talk about the school. They had to get things settled.
"Manny, I don't want you to be sad," Ellie started.
Manny only gave a look, as if he didn't want to look at the female mammoth. "I don't know why you can't give the school a chance."
"Because it isn't necessary. Crash, Eddie, and Sid will find out things on their own in the real world; with us. I want us to be a herd again, and be together."
"You know it can't always be like that. Some of us may want to get a job, or maybe start some sort of...we won't always be together, Ellie."
Ellie knew that Manny was wrong. Well, sure, there may be times where they had to do this and that, but they would always be together. Doing things together, living together. Ellie could tell that he only wanted Sid and the possums to go to school. "Ok, Manny. How come you want them to go to school?"
Why did she have to ask that? She already knew! He told her! "I already said, because I want them to learn! And they need to learn to be with other animals, to make other friends."
"But they don't need to go to school to get that, Manny. We are surrounded by a bunch of animals that are social and fun. And we will all learn, together of all the changes that are happening. We're a family. And families stick together, do things together, learn things together, face danger together, help each other..." Ellie could go on. Families meant everything. And families were also groups of friends.
Manny knew that Ellie was right. He didn't think straight. For once of the first times, he was actually wrong about something. Ellie was actually the smart one here. The mammoth sighed. "Ok."
Ellie smiled, really happy that Manny was finally agreeing with her.
"Tomorrow, they will go to school. And after that, we will ask them if they want to stay for the next two and a half months."
"That will actually work, Manny." Ellie walked closer to the male mammoth. "Thank you very much."
Manny finally gave out a small grin, and wrapped his trunk around hers. He then snuggled with her for 15 seconds, and then Ellie walked off to her own sleeping spot.
Diego did not go with Sid, Crash, and Eddie the next day, because he was getting tired of the other animals loving on him. It did disappoint Sid a bit, since he didn't have a buddy anymore. But he tried to managed that out.
Before class started, Sid ran in front of another female sloth. "Hey," he started.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"Oh. You looked lonely, and I thought maybe you would like to walk together to class. We have Spanish together you know."
"Yeah, something that you're not good at."
"Yes, but it's something that you're wonderful at."
"You don't know a whole lot, and I do not do tutoring."
"Well, there is something I do know, that I can translate in Spanish."
"Oh, and what's that?"
"Usted es atractivo."
The female gave Sid an angry look, and started to walk away from him. "You pervert."
Sid sighed. What was the deal? Why were girls so sensitive? It seemed as if they would get angry at him for saying something to them, but wouldn't get angry when another guy would say it to them. Sid was confused.
In Crash and Eddie's class, Mr. Ar left to take a bathroom break, and Crash and Eddie stood up in front of everybody. Obviously, they were going to be going to this school for a long time. So they had to make things social. "Does anybody want to do something fun?" they both asked.
"Not with you!" the students cried. "You guys are so stupid!"
Crash and Eddie were hurt, but they tried to ignore it. "Well, let's do a little dance to change your minds," said Eddie, and started dancing with his brother.
"Possums!" a voice cried out.
Crash and Eddie saw Mr. Ar coming over.
"I thought I told you not to act up in class!"
Crash and Eddie ran back to their seats and sat down. What a mistake they made.
"Hey, I'm going to try out for dancing," Sid said to his possum buddies at lunch time.
"Why?" Crash asked.
"Because it's fun!"
"But nobody cares about you dancing."
"So what? It's not like they're totally against me."
"Actually, we are," the female deer finally said. "Don't even try it. Do not try out for it."
"Why not?"
"Because you are a goof ball."
"Yeah," the female beaver said, "why are you even here? Nobody likes you. You're a jerk toward girls."
"Yeah, go home!" another animal cried out.
"Hey, leave him alone!" a female voice shouted out, which turned out to be Kylie.
"Why should we?!" the female deer asked.
"You have no talent!" the female beaver cried out.
Sid, Crash, and Eddie were not getting a good treatment that day. But it was big. And now they got the truth. Nobody wanted them around. Nobody.
"Manny, get me out of here!" Sid cried out, wishing that the mammoth would randomly come.
"Oh, now you're calling your elder?!"
"Hey, leave him alone!" Eddie exclaimed. "Just because he wants to try something new, there's no reason to make fun of him!"
"Yeah, he's our friend, and we want you to leave him alone!" Crash exclaimed.
"Losers!" they all shouted. "Losers!"
"He's the only friend we've got here!" Crash exclaimed again.
"Yeah," said Eddie, "and he's the only one who we trust. So shut up!"
"Crash, Eddie!" Mrs. Beauty Feather exclaimed. "Come to my office, now!"
"No!" a familiar voice cried out.
The possums gasped when they saw Ellie. What was she doing here? Did she not trust them?
"What's going on?" the bird asked Ellie. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to ask if my brothers and Sid want to keep coming to this school!" she replied.
Sid, Crash, and Eddie were in shock. "Ellie, I don't understand," said Sid.
"Honey, I do understand you," said Ellie. "Do you guys want to go home?"
"Yes!" the possums exclaimed.
"Then come on!" the female mammoth started to walk with her brothers, when she noticed that Sid wasn't coming. "Sid, are you coming?"
"Is Diego ever coming back?" Sid asked curiously.
"Don't count on it."
The sloth quickly ran toward the female mammoth and the possums, and left. Sid then turned one last time, and looked at Kylie. He waved at her, and she waved back. They knew that they would see each other again, but not here.
"I can't believe you're letting us stay home," said Eddie, on the way back to the cave.
"I didn't want you guys to go to school from the beginning," Ellie replied.
"Are you sure this is ok, Ellie?" Sid asked.
"Only if it's ok with you, honey."
"Of course it is."
When the four animals got to the cave, Manny was in no surprise that Sid and the possums came back with Ellie. At first he didn't like the idea, but then he begin to think that Ellie was right, and that they could learn things as a family.
"Oh, thank you, Manny!" the sloth ran over, and hugged the mammoth's trunk.
"Ok, Sid, it's not that big of a deal."
Sid didn't let go. He was still hugging the mammoth tightly, with his eyes closed.
"Ok Sid, get off." He knocked the sloth off, and walked toward Ellie, who gave him a big grin.
"I feel much better," the female mammoth said.
Manny only smiled, and wrapped his trunk around hers.
"Aww, that's really cute," said Sid.
Manny gave the sloth an angry look. "Sid, shut up now."
"But you guys love each other. And it's really nice to see all that smooching again." The sloth gagged, when Diego grabbed his neck.
"Why don't we just celebrate that you're back," said the tiger, and released the sloth's throat.
"Oh, Diego!" Sid wrapped his arms around the tigers neck, and hugged him. "I miss you so much! I'm never going back there, never."
"Ok Sid, get off!" the tiger gently punched Sid in the stomach, who let go.
"I know what I wanna do," said Eddie.
"What's that?" Ellie asked.
"Water park!"
So it was so. The six happy animals went to the water park, all jumping in the water, sliding on slides, and having the times of their lives.
"I am so happy," said Ellie.
"Me too, Ellie," Manny replied. "It's nice to have things back to normal."
"You mean it?"
"I do. I actually did miss them the whole time."
Ellie smiled.
Sid tried to get along with the happy kids, who continuously beat on him. "Ok, stop that!" he cried.
The kids only laughed, making fun of the sloth.
Sid walked away, when he saw one of the most prettiest female sloth in the world. He grinned, and walked toward her. "Hey," he started.
"Who are you, and what to you want?" she asked.
"Usted es la pereza sexiest que he visto alguna vez."
"Sorry, I don't know Spanish."
"It's French! Isn't it?"
"Nope. Now leave me alone, and go hit on another girl."
Sid turned around and walked away. "Don't mind if I do."
Diego smiled at the sloth who came toward him, and just shook his head. "You are impossible."
Scrat hopped with his acorn to a new place he has never been to. There seemed to be tall rocky hills that were almost ten feet tall. It looked interesting, but he could tell that there was nothing to take his acorn. Nothing.
The squirrel looked around, just to make sure. Nothing. He sat his acorn down, so he could get a drink of water.
But when he stepped away, he suddenly heard some strange sound, and looked back. There were termites everywhere coming from the rocky hills, and they all started crawling on Scrat's acorn. "AHHHHH!"
THE END
SP-ok, so what did you think of my story? I didn't think it was good, since I didn't put so much effort into it. But if you have any suggestions, then I will try to put your ideas in my next story!
Oh, you're probably wondering something. Earlier, when Sid was hitting on that girl in school in this chapter, and he said something in Spanish to her. "Usted es atractivo" means "You are sexy". And at then end of the story when he was hitting on the other girl, "Usted es la pereza sexiest que he visto alguna vez"; that means "You are the sexiest sloth I have ever seen." I actually went to a website to translate that in Spanish. And also, it is true that Campo Del Sid does mean Field of Sid in French.
So I hope you liked the story! Remember, review and give me some suggestions for my next story!
