It was an idyllic and sunny day in the valley where our herd lived peacefully. Today really seemed to be a perfect time for everything and nobody could disturb this peace.
At least almost no one, because suddenly you heard a shrill and loud cry and birds in the vicinity rose in shock in the air. Something or someone fell abruptly from a tall tree, it was quite a lot of noise organized. On closer inspection, a well-known saber-toothed squirrel was recognized, trying to slow the fall down by some tangible possibility.
And indeed that worked, in the very last moment. Surely the little guy was lucky enough to grab a long branch with his free paw. In the other paw, he already had a beautiful acorn, as so often in the last few days. He had polished it just up in the tall tree so that it also shone wonderfully. The squirrel almost thought he could reflect himself in it. The poignant moment was shattered by a strong gust of wind sweeping through the trees and immediately made him fall from his place. Although the little one was still trying to keep his balance, it was no use to anything.
But now he had his salvation in one paw. He only had to move from one branch to the other with one arm. He should already have practice it that, as often as he had to do this. Just stupid that a branch broke only before the ground and he saw no one else within his reach. So he kissed his acorn one last time and hoped to land softly down with it.
This then strangely happened. A berry bush bounced his landing more or less gently for both of them. Well, there is now some berry juice on Scrat sticking to his fur, but that didn't bother him for now, because his acorn and he had arrived unscathed on the ground. That was the main thing for him.
So he happily hopped on with his beloved treasure in order to be able to enjoy and see several more happy moments. After all, he rarely found such a brilliant beauty as today. That just had to be a unique lucky day for him.
Some animals were watching his fall, looked after him confused, but that wouldn't bother the squirrel, because it now considered what it could do with his new best friend. Maybe a nice picnic in the colorful flower field? A cleansing bath in the warm springs? Enjoy the breathtaking view from the cliffs? Or warming the shell and the fur on the beach with a nice sleep song from the sea? Scrat was sure, no matter what he decided to do his time can't be wasted with this wonderful acorn.
Three other animals were even nearby, but engaged in other things, which two of them did not like.
"Sister, why are we doing this again?" Inquired Eddie and sighed. He liked to pick fruit, but reluctantly not too much for others. That always ends in work. He didn't like that at all.
"Exactly, your husband should lie to your feet every day and do the work himself." Crash added, who was tired of the job and thought that Manny could do it much faster because he was a mammoth too. But no, everything always depends on the little ones.
"Don't be so lazy, boys. Everyone is responsible for the food sometimes. You can't always escape from it. Maybe Manny gets more and more grumpy, but at least he does his duties for the good of the herd." Explained the female mammoth proudly, wondering where to find her husband's favorite fruit around that time. She wanted to give him a little present because father-in-law Manfred was now afraid of becoming a grandfather. She would recognize it as a mother if Peaches expects a child. Even if her daughter is pregnant, she would rather welcome that now than if she later gets too old to play with the grandchild.
"I didn't know that hanging around at the juice bar, are now noble duties." One opossum whispered to the other and both began to laugh as something funny came to their minds behind Ellie's back.
"Do you think we should tell her?" One of the striped ones whispered further and both giggled as they came up with some new fun to annoy a certain too serious mammoth.
"Say, do you both smell that too?" The tallest one inquired between the fruits and turned her attention to the air.
"Well it wasn't me!" Eddie thought and looked innocent.
"Me neither, but somehow I don't smell anything." His brother noticed and raised his nose even higher, as the mammoth suddenly dropped the fruits.
"I have to go there!" Ellie suddenly announced joyfully and marched off willingly. The two striped ones would be simply dropped too because Ellie wasn't careful.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
"What does she have suddenly?" But the calling of her brothers didn't seem to matter to the female mammoth as she disappeared among the trees to follow that beguiling scent.
"What went into her?" Crash scratched his head in confusion as he rose from the floor.
"No idea. Maybe we should run after her." The other suggested.
"After all, we played in the mud again yesterday and it may be that we smell no more because of it." Added Eddie, because dipping his head in dirt was ok for the possums, but not in the clear water. Since the stuff could indeed run into the ears and both didn't like that.
"Now that you say it, black boogers are still coming out of my nose." Said Crash, looking into his paw.
"That's what we'll take care of later. Maybe there is already a banquet on the menu and they are all already eating without us." Then the other one jumped away and his brother followed him, of course. Even though it seemed strange to both of them that their sister ran away without them, none of them wanted to miss any of the alleged food.
"Say, are the fish less or do I just eat too much?" A saber-toothed tigress wanted to know from her partner, who was fishing for food with her on the riverbank. Lately, it hasn't bothered her to eat only fish. They just tasted really good. Probably they should look for another place soon, because every day in the same place could possibly harm the fish population. She didn't really know it, because fishing in the sea like in the old days was different to a river today. Besides, there was nothing to catch here that would get her in a bad state, and her saber-toothed tiger would always warn her if she bit into something wrong.
Diego was aware that she could take care of herself, yet she found it nice to have someone who always thought of her. She did have to get used to such things after she left the pirate life behind.
"We can't always catch the same amount of fish. Maybe someone up the river has been at the fish bar today and the bears often like to eat salmon." Answered Diego and tried to catch his second fish. Somehow, they didn't really want to stay in his paws today.
"Here." Then his girlfriend threw him a copy and he caught it with his nose.
"Fmams, alopf.."
"Just recently, you said to Sid that he should stop talking with his mouth full." The tigress taught the others with a smile.
"Alright, but nothing goes stuck in my throat so fast." The male saber tooth was sure, sometimes his sloth buddy challenged fate too much. Fortunately for all of them, Brooke now was there for them, so Manny and he didn't have to keep always an eye on him. Not infrequently Sid endangers other animals nearby. Strangely enough, the female sloth is always spared.
Then Diego noticed that his wife wasn't paying any attention to the water or to him. Shira held her nose up in the air and he did the same to scent the danger that might be approaching. But he didn't smell anything out of the ordinary. He moved closer to her, maybe he couldn't smell it yet.
"Something wrong?" He finally asked the question when he could find absolutely nothing in the air with his nose. She didn't even look at him as she slowly stepped out of the shallow river to continue.
"Something... Someone smells very tempting here." He found that odd now, as Shira almost said that pleased and moved away from him.
"Wait, what?!" Diego said confused and shocked to himself, because he was the only man here who should smell good for her. Did some new saber-toothed tigers approach their home? That happened before and his partner never ran after them like this. He should probably follow her in a hurry to find out what's going on here. After all, he didn't like the idea that his Shira could find anyone else. He was just a man, too, and somehow jealousy seized him. No one would dare to take his tigress away from him.
"Does the bunny work so hard because of me, because it still hopes for something today?" Gladys grinned at the sentence from her stone couch to her lover, who was filling up her supply of coconuts. As always, he liked to show how strong he was.
"For you I like to do everything in vain, my never-wilting flower." And he could be so charming, she thought and gave him a kiss in the air, which he gratefully caught before he went on with his task. For the sloth lady there was nothing better than being young and in love. She really didn't hope for both things in her old life. Even if there had not been a fountain of youth, she would have stayed with Teddy. You just don't let such a rabbit go through your paws. Yes, he was just perfect. Nearly every rabbit and other women in the area languished after him and his good physique, but he gave no one a second look. He really only had eyes for her for true.
"When my strong man is done, then he can take a little break."
"Next to you nothing feels like work." Teddy grinned and knew that he was being examined from behind. For his beautiful and smart lady, he also liked to keep fit. Not that his life style changed much since he was with Gladys. At night he simply didn't sleep alone anymore and could cuddle up to her whenever he wanted. That it would catch him so hard again, in the tender age, he wouldn't have thought either. But now he enjoyed every day with her.
"Come on and get your reward." The rabbit heard from her with a smile and he gladly accepted her request after he delivered the remaining coconuts to her tree house. Actually, he only built it for her, but Gladys insisted that he move in with her. Actually, Teddy didn't want to rush the relationship, but you don't say no to this woman.
"Close your eyes, love." She said in a gentle voice and Teddy did that with a smile, because he knew what would happen. Or not. Because nothing happened.
"Gladys?" He carefully pursued and opened an eye to see what she was doing. But his pretty lady was no longer in front of him on the stone. So there was no one else in the place. She had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Do we play games again?" The rabbit asked again loudly, but no one answered him. Strange, he thought, because Gladys had never acted that way without just saying another word. He decided to postpone the rest of the work, because ever since he was back in the wild, Teddy knew it could be dangerous out there. And it was always important to him to know his sweetheart in safety.
"Finally." Steffie sighed, pleased that she was alone with her boyfriend. She was beginning to wonder what they both did for a relationship when they were never alone. They were at least always three of them somewhere. It didn't bother her in the least when Buddy went somewhere. Steffie would never say it out loud, but Ethan's friend had a body as well built as her boyfriend. And to enjoy a romantic walk between two strong men was a dream for her. Only the other girls always bothered a bit because she didn't know if Meghan or Katie had anything left for her Ethan. Well, maybe she was sometimes too jealous. But who could blame her for such a handsome mammoth.
"Yes, finally we are for ourselves." Gave the red-brown mammoth out and wasn't very pleased, because romance wasn't his thing at all. After all, in his teen days, he always had to look good just to make the girls weak. Over the years, he realized that wasn't enough as an adult mammoth. Apparently every jerk got it around with love, only he had nothing in his head.
"Uh, maybe the light is just right, but you look especially beautiful today." He gave out self-confident and he still couldn't believe that he asked Julian and Louis for help.
"Oh darling, that's so nice of you to say that. But today I have tried a more natural look." But only because the other two girls had forgotten to mix their new eye shadow. Just saying, these flowers are not blooming at this time are all lazy excuses in her opinion.
"Looks great." Ethan added, happy to have mastered the first hurdle. Although his assistants were extremely friendly and didn't laugh at him, because of his romantic problem. He felt stupid anyway. He used to always feel better than these two. Even when Julian first appeared, he still thought that Peaches didn't really want such a mammoth. In the end, the two got even married. He really had not seen that coming. And Louis was even bolder. The guy really grabbed a Dakotaraptor as a girlfriend. When he heard this for the first time, he thought it was a stupid joke from these possums. The two like to tell dumb things around and that's why he just laughed a bit at this news. But then the herd held such a love party for the two. He would have been embarrassed it that was about him, but in the course of this party night it turned out that the female Raptor and 'Prickly-bro' are really a couple.
The night after that he couldn't really sleep. Unlike some others, it didn't bother him that they are two different races. His first love wasn't a mammoth either. His mind just didn't want to understand that everyone got it right with love, only he didn't. Yes, his girlfriend kept saying that they are together. But there was more to a real relationship. Or not?
"I've been thinking." The prettiest mammoth that he had ever seen said it in a strange tone to him. Yes, he found her adorable from the beginning, but unfortunately she didn't think so herself. Otherwise, Steffie wouldn't keep trying to smear stuff on her to make her look better. Perhaps he himself helped because he didn't often say how beautiful she is.
"Yes?" Asked Ethan, because she didn't speak more, but turned away suddenly.
"Wow, that smells nice." He didn't understand what she was saying because he didn't smell anything good. Except the ordinary everyday fragrance.
"I'm breaking up with you." Steffie suddenly said coldly and didn't even look at him before she ran away. Back remained a male and now rigid mammoth that couldn't understand what just happened. He just did everything right. Why did she do something that strangely hurt him?
"Does it still hurt a lot?" Asked a molehog to his girlfriend, because he was just cleaning some wounds of her.
"I said before, that they just harmless scratches!" Complained Gertie with folded arms. Nevertheless, she let the treatment go through.
"You shouldn't have to fight with them either." Louis tried to explain to her again, because sometimes the Raptor was too quick-tempered when it came to trifles.
"Hey, just because they're taller, that doesn't mean that they can do just anything!" She fumed and she would like to fly after these big rhinos, so that she could give them a real lesson. They even dared to push her aside when she 'politely' wanted to speak to them. She didn't care about those little wounds, but those stupid chunks could have seriously hurt her boyfriend when they drove him off the water with the horn. She just happened to see it from the air, because she arrived at the meeting place she agreed with Louis a little early. Not that she was ever late when they made an appointment, but it could have happened. What would have happened to the molehog then? He didn't even understand that this is not okay.
"It wasn't that bad either and there are always some idiosyncratic animals." Louis didn't see the rhinos coming because he was too busy with other thoughts. Roger told him, unsolicited, what raptors do when they take the next step in love affairs. He shook his head because his lady didn't see that. Besides, he really didn't need those thoughts now when she was sitting so close to him. Still, he got nothing off when these jerks pushed him away. However, his girlfriend was injured when she wanted to hit in the bigger ones. Reassured that nothing worse has happened, he gave her a kiss on the neck. He knew it would bring her down a bit, too.
"If I tell Bro-moth about it, then he will not like it." Gertie continued, who was still annoyed, but felt a little better from the touch.
"Bro-moth?" Inquired the molehog confused and only his paws were on the raptor's back.
"Well, Bro and Mammoth will be Bro-moth. I don't quite understand that yet, as Julian does this with the nicknames." She explained a little sheepishly, because now that she said it, her idea of a nickname for Peache's husband didn't sound very original. Her friend laughed at it and a little offended, she took a step back from him.
"As if you can think of something better."
"Just call him Julian. I heard before it's his real name." The prickly one teased the bigger one and jumped down from the stump he used to get to all the injuries on the Dino.
"Yes, I realize. But he's always coming along, hey scaly-galy or something like that and I wanted to retaliate." Gertie put her claws on her hip after gesticulating and wanted to wait for what her boyfriend says, but then something left distract her attention from this. Something strange was in the air.
"Does that annoy you? Just tell him then. Or should I talk to him about it?" Inquired the smaller one and then looked around, because the Raptor suddenly looked past him. Something she was watching now, but he couldn't see it.
"Gertie?" Louis was a little worried because her eyes turned a little different. First she pursued something that ran around in the bushes and then she suddenly licked her beak.
Oh no, the spiky thought in panic, believing the female Dakotaraptor was relapsing when it came to eating the flesh. He talked to Shira about something like that before, but his girlfriend didn't seem like she was hungry before. Without thinking much, he clung to one of her legs.
"If you.." But he didn't even get to talk more, because she looked down at him coldly.
"Leave me alone!" She also said in a very harsh tone and just shook him off before flying off quickly.
"Wait! I .." But he saw that Gertie didn't hear him anymore. He considered for a moment, but then dug himself behind her, because there had to be an explanation for this strange behavior of Dakotaraptor.
"That you don't fall asleep by it." Meghan gave her opinion again out without asking and Katie sighed, as the beetles that she was watching, moved away by the loud tramping.
"We can't all have such a great hobby like you." The bright mammoth responded sarcastically.
"Not everyone is made to be as talented as me." Because Meghan didn't really understand sarcasm. The insect watcher thought it was better not to remind her friend that her beauty craze also brought some problems. You could tell Meghan so many times, she shouldn't just pick every nice-looking plant, she did it nevertheless. Not infrequently, she got a swollen trunk or she got an itchy rash. Of course she was allowed to take care of it then, well Buddy helped her every day, because he was a really good mammoth. Unfortunately, sometimes he did things worse than better. Besides, Meghan didn't always want to show herself in embarrassing situations to the boys. Sometimes that's really complicated if she had to come up with lies then. And that really didn't like her.
"Hello ladies." The male mammoth greeted both that the blonde one was thinking about now. Apparently he took a nap because Ethan wanted to be alone with his girlfriend. Katie hoped the guy got it right somehow this time, even though she knew he didn't have a single romantic bone in his body. Who was allowed to listen to the whining of Steffie afterwards? Of course she again. Ok, Meghan was still there, but unfortunately her comments were rarely helpful. Maybe because the dark mammoth still didn't know which man she wanted. Today she thinks this is good and tomorrow it's going to be different one.
"Good day the Lord." Katie teased her friend back and wondered if she shouldn't spend the time with Buddy. At least he had no problems with her hobbies, but Meghan could never be left alone. Or much more, she would run after you one way or the other when she realizes that there is no one left to listen to her. While she might think up something to drive the other female mammoth away, it wasn't as if she needed romantic togetherness with Buddy. He was just a very good friend for her. Even though Meghan saw always more in all conversations. She thought that the woman didn't understand that you could only be friends with men without wanting anything from them. Katie had also often said that Buddy is a free guy, yet Meghan never showed much interest in this one.
"Yes, great day. We all noticed. So? What do we make three pretty ones out of it?" Wanted to know the dark and female mammoth impatient, because she was bored.
"We can go to the waterfalls and let our fur flush right through." Suggested Buddy, because otherwise he could think of nothing better.
"Are you crazy? Do you know how long it will take to get this look back?"
"Well, at least you would have something to do after the shower." Katie said and didn't think the idea was that bad. A change of the environment she always found good.
"What is it that smells so good here?" Meghan abruptly forgot about her stress because of her looks and turned around, because something was tickling her nose here. Buddy and Katie also held up their trunks like their friend.
"Maybe the smell doesn't come to me yet." Said the male mammoth in the middle.
"Alright with me and no matter what it is, I have to have it." Katie added and just ran off.
"Hey, I had it first in my nose. It's definitely mine!" Meghan exclaimed indignantly after her friend, but also set in motion immediately.
"But girls, wasn't the waterfall in a different direction?" But Buddy only shrugged his shoulders and then followed the women, because he had nothing better to do either. He also wanted to keep the two from arguing, because they were all too old for this.
"Oh, that's so beautiful on the skin." Peaches was pleased as she swam in the water. She and her husband had decided during a walk to go swimming here in the lake. The water was refreshing on this warm day. After a two-trunk showers, she looked around for her husband, but he was not visible.
"Julian?" She inquired after him so he could answer and she knew where he was. She didn't even notice that something dipped beneath her. Still, she got a strange feeling as she swam around alone in the middle of the lake. The mammoth thought she should go to the brink to look for her husband. Maybe he just fell asleep in the sun. Can it be that he has gotten too much water from the bathing in the ears and she doesn't hear him because of it? But she didn't even come ashore when suddenly she felt something on her leg.
"Are there any creepers here?" Said the peach-colored mammoth to herself, than she seemed to be alone here. Suddenly she was let loose and something dark appeared next to her in the water. She didn't have time to swim, because it was already surfacing.
"Honey, you really have to take a look at this stone. Is not it beautiful?" Calming that only Julian was beside her, she found her normal breathing again.
"The stone is really beautiful. But please do not flirt with me, Mr. Lakemonster. I am a married woman." Then the male mammoth looked at her confused, but then noticed all the algae on his fur and joked along.
"But you swim around here all alone without protection, beautiful mer-mammoth-maid. That's when I thought we have to change that. Now you will not be harmed anymore. Nothing escapes my algae." He then pulled them a little through the water until his wife chuckled.
"Yes, this will take a while until all the algae have disappeared from your fur."
"Such a algae pack on the fur is always good. It makes it soft and shiny." Joked the male mammoth and already fished the algae from his head, because before the eyes he didn't need the stuff then. His wife was already on the shore.
"Who wants to be beautiful.." Peaches broke off, because something was in her nose. She turned around and took a deep breath, because no matter what she was sniffing, she wanted to smell more of it.
"I wonder if this animal is still available." She sighed and started walking.
"Of course I'm still here for you, my... peach blossom?" Only then did the male mammoth realize that his wife wasn't talking to him, but just ran away.
"Peaches, did I say something wrong?" But the addressed didn't pay any attention to him before she disappeared into the bushes.
"Atchoo." Brooke sneezed suddenly when she felt something in her nose. She looked out of their cave wondering. At least until her sloth hugged her from behind.
"Gesundheit, my love. I hope you didn't catch a cold." She grinned and laid her paws on his.
"No, my darling. Pollen must have just tickled my nose because I picked flowers earlier." Then she kissed her sweetheart on the cheek and danced out of his arms.
"Where do you want to go?" Sid sulked a little, thinking he could cuddle a bit with his sweetheart.
"I promised to give Mama Armadillo next door a little tutoring in herbals. Can't you look for our Scrat along the way? He hasn't even turned up for lunch." The male sloth smiled at his lady, nodding. But when she turned away, he clenched his paws, because he had no desire to look after the rodent. This always runs so far.
"Atchoo."
"Shouldn't I just stay here and take care of you?" Sid asked again, after he heard another sneeze.
"No darling. I'll just wash the pollen out of my nose later on." He heard, but thought it was a pity, because now he had to run around and look for the squirrel.
"Come here my little rascal. Put, put, put, put, put. I have a delicious acorn." Hm, in front of the cave the little one doesn't fool around, otherwise he wouldn't hold this thing in his paws anymore. So he had to start wandering and looking for the little flea-bag.
"Oh, yes, so you can put up with that." Manfred said totally relaxed, because he was lying in his favorite place for sunbathing and had a delicious juice in the trunk. Life couldn't be better for him at the moment because he finally got his deserved rest. Yes, a few trivialities gnawed at him here and there, but today he didn't really care about it. A wise mammoth like him, he also deserved a break or two a day before the duties continued. Or someone once again made a mess in the valley. Often Sid did. Today, however, he didn't hear this scream, nor did it smell of burnt sloth fur. So now he could just close his eyes and enjoy the silence.
"Manny we need your help!" He heard suddenly and with a grunt, he opened his eyes again, only to see his two annoying brothers in law.
"Of course and if I help you, something hilarious in your eyes will happen again. Leave me alone with your jokes today!"
"But .." The opossums tried to interject both, but Manny didn't want to hear anything. The mammoth picked them up and threw them into the next snowdrift. He almost regretted that, for he almost hurled the two against a stone wall. Ellie was probably right again and his eyes are really not the best anymore. As Eddie and Crash got up, he didn't care, because he could relax in peace again. Unfortunately not for a long time, as soon as he closed his eyes again, someone bellowed for him again.
"Manfred, did you see Ellie anywhere?" His saber-toothed buddy came running to him, somehow worried.
"She wanted to take care of the food." Mammoth meant, but was not up yet.
"Something strange is going on here. Shira just ran away."
"What did you talk about? Maybe she just wanted to stretch her legs."
"She asked if she was eating too much and.."
"And you got into the trap and you answered wrong."
"It was not like that."
"It wouldn't be the first time."
"Last time, I thought she was too ... right. That's not the point. All this way here, I felt something strange. But I can't say what it is."
"Then you can come back if you know more."
"Are you a mammoth or a sloth?" Diego wanted to know, because his friend probably didn't understand the seriousness of the situation. He didn't either, because until now he only knew that Shira fled from him for no good reason. Unfortunately, he lost track because of too many other animals and that's why he first ran here, hoping the others would know something.
"Hey, I just deserved my break." Manny added and heard again trampling that went in his direction. Three mammoths and a molehog came to a halt in front of him and chattered excitedly. Then the oldest mammoth got up, because he was just too proud and didn't like to succumb to the younger ones.
"If you all talk at the same time, I can understand everything well. So stop that!" He announced sternly because it annoyed him and he realized that there was another problem in the valley he should take care of. So no to naps in the shadow.
"Um, somehow all the women are running away from us." Ethan started to explain it in his own way and was half glad that there was another reason why Steffie ran away instead of blaming him. The others apparently have the same problem.
"Am I now up to give you guys tips on romance?!"
"Wait a minute, Manny. That means only the women are gone?" The saber-toothed tiger found the whole thing very strange.
"Believe me guys, you don't want any tips from the Big Guy here." A sloth suddenly broke into the conversation.
"Yeah, Sid, our love guru has better advice." Manny said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
"Is your girlfriend gone too?" Inquired the biggest in the round then of Sidney.
"No. Why should she run away too? I think of special days and treat her like a goddess." Manfred and Diego gave him a certain look.
"But what should we do now?" Louis inquired to draw attention to their problem with the ladies.
"My Peaches is gone..." Julian whined rather softly and the molehog sitting on his head gave him a few short pats.
"Everything will be alright." He said, and then turned back to the others.
"Maybe they all just go for only girls-night-out. Sometimes we also want to be just among men." Buddy gave his opinion, because it didn't seem strange to him what happened.
"Maybe you all just didn't care about your loved ones."
"Shut up Sid!" It came almost synchronously from Diego and Manny. The herd leader wanted to say more, but he was interrupted when someone came to them.
"Here you are guys. Say you didn't happen to see Gladys by chance?" Now Teddy also came around and unfortunately his question had to be answered in the negative. Manfred came to think about what could happen here. The fact that some women turn their backs on their men was partly understandable. But everyone? That seemed strange. Besides, he didn't even know if Ellie had disappeared. The possums came to his mind again.
"Did any of you see Eddie and Crash?" He didn't want to talk to the brothers because he literally threw them away.
"Aha, now you want to talk to us." It came snapped from above where everyone looked.
"Yes, first you ignore us and our poor sister might be in danger." Eddie said, his paws crossed, sitting on a branch.
"She probably ran away with a younger lover." Crash gives his comment to this.
"Better for her." His brother still thought and the oldest mammoth immediately threw snowballs up.
"Вoah, you almost hit us!"
"Very bad! Now we're not telling you that Ellie smelled something and then ran away."
"Damn it, Crash!"
"What? I don't have.. Yes, ok. I'm sorry." But Manny didn't have to hear anything more from the possums, so he turned back to the other men.
"It was the same with Shira." Diego understood everything less and less.
"Yeah, Meghan and Katie supposedly smelled something and then ran away."
"Steffie also talked about some smell before she broke up with me."
"Oh, Bro. Sorry that it happened like that. It was similar with me. Come to my shoulder." Julian wanted to calm the other male mammoth and pressed against Ethan. Meanwhile, Louis jumped to the ground, because he would fall down with this fidget sooner or later anyway.
"Probably Gertie smelled something, but she must have seen something before she flew away. Unfortunately, I was not so fast." Explained the molehog his part and suddenly he felt a paw on his shoulder.
"It is alright, boy. This seems to be a bigger problem than we all assume. Something lures our women away." Teddy spoke up.
"That's it! It's not just our women. When I walked here, I only saw male animals. So that bothered me before." At last the saber tooth found out what had gnawed at him.
"First of all we stop with the whining theater and look for our friends!" Manny ordered loudly, because his son-in-law couldn't refrain from being a pile of misery. Everyone agreed rather quickly and split up to find the missing ladies.
GrayestLobster7: And so with the men and Brooke resolved and ready to go find out what's going on, what lies in store for Scrat? What was the smell that attracts the female mammals to Scrat? Why are the ladies acting so weird? Find out on the next chapter of "The Rainbow Berry Incident".
