"Well, I have to say", Shira smiled as she sat with Diego and Frida. "This is probably the best party I've ever been to."

"I know", Frida nodded. "Manny's really going to have to outdo himself next year."

Everyone was having a great time, dancing to the music, all the food they could eat. Diego smiled as he watched his mate mingle with the other animals. It made him happy to see Frida in a better mood. He caught her eye as she turned and looked at him. She walked over to him and nuzzled him.

"Amazing night, isn't it?" Frida asked as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah", he said.

"Almost makes me think what you'll do for our anniversary", she smiled.

Diego looked at her and gave her a smile. Their anniversary wasn't for a while, but he had no idea how to top a party like this. The fun sounded like it was about to end. Many and Ellie started arguing about Peaches' future. Like normal, everyone was going to stay out of it before Sid got their attention.

"Does that look like a problem to you?" he asked pointing to the sky.

Frida and Diego looked up at the sky to see what Sid was talking about. The sky was lit up with a large fireball heading toward them. The cubs whimpered as they gathered around their parents.

"Diego…" Frida gasped.

"A ball of fire heading directly toward us?" he asked. "Why would that be a problem?"

She gasped as he turned away to tell Manny what was going on. Shira looked up at the sky, her ears flattening when she saw the fireball. She gathered with the cubs.

"What do we do?" she gasped.

Before Frida could speak, everyone turned to see Manny start to stretch and pretend to yawn.

"Okay", he announced. "Party's over everybody! Have a good night, and leave now!"

"What are you talking about?" Ellie asked confused. "The party just got started."

"Yeah", Manny yawned. "Just getting kind of sleepy. Everyone should go, and duck. Possibly cover!"

Everyone looked up in the sky to finally see what Manny was freaking out about. The large fireball flew over them and crash landed in the woods with an explosion.

"Look!" one of the animals shouted. "There's more coming!"

Sure enough, there were more balls of fire falling from the sky, hitting the valley.

"Meteor shower!"

Instead of running for safety, Ellie chose now to argue about why there was a meteor shower. Everyone had assumed this was supposed to be an anniversary gift for Ellie, but now the truth was out. The heard looked at Ellie and Manny, wanting to leave now.

"Come on!" Diego said. "We need to take cover!"

Everyone turned to start running. Manny and Ellie carried Sid and Granny on their backs. Diego and Frida ran with their kids following them. Shira followed behind the cubs, making sure they stayed together. The meteors were coming closer and closer.

"Tree!" Eddie yelled as he pointed behind everyone.

"Mom, Dad!"

Frida looked behind them, gasping as a tree came crashing down behind them. She turned and ran back behind the cubs, grabbing two each, one in her mouth, one hanging onto her back. Diego and Shira looked at her and followed suit, grabbing the rest of the cubs, just in time before a meteor crashed behind them. The large flaming rock followed the herd through the valley, heading to the frozen lake.

"Everyone, jump!" Manny yelled.

Everyone jumped off the path, onto the large mass of ice. The meteor fell off the path, landing in the center of the frozen lake. The ice started cracking, making everyone run.

"The cave!" Manny pointed. "Get inside! Move, move!"

Everyone headed into the cave and gathered around, unsure of what else was going to happen. Everything was shaking around. Rumbling echoed throughout the cave until it started to occur less and less.

"Hey, it sounds like it's slowing down", Sid said getting up.

Everyone watched as he walked toward the cave, seeing nothing outside.

"Yep, it's definitely over!"

Just as he spoke, one more large meteor came crashing down in front of the cave, burning everything within range. Ellie pulled him away, revealing all the fur in front of Sid's body had burned off.

"Except for that one…" he moaned in pain.

Trees and rocks fell in front of the cave, trapping everyone inside.

"We might want to think about moving underground for a little while", Manny spoke up.
