-The next morning as planned the herd ate and gathered to the clearing, to begin heading off.

" Okay! Is everybody here and ready to go?" Manny asked. Everyone was here and accounted for, except for one animal.

"Granny! Come on, we are ready to leave!" Shouted Sid. Granny had gone back into the cave to get her apple she saved for the road.

" I'm coming, don't worry! I'm just trying to get food for Precious. Maybe I'll get to see her!" Granny shouted coming into the clearing with the apple.

" Are we ready mammals?" Buck asked.

" We're ready." Manny replied

"Then let's move north, first stop, Geotopia!" Buck said. Hopping onto the ground he lead the group foward. The herd followed him, moving out of the clearing. After passing familiar sites and familiar faces they finally made it to where Geotopia sat. Even though most of it was destroyed from the asteroid, it still had its beauty and its memories.

" Geotopia..." Brooke whispered, oh how she missed being there, but she was glad to be with Sid and the herd. They walked into Geotopia to find Shangra Llama in a yoga pose.

" Shangra llama! Oh how good it is to see you!" Brooke said walking up to the llama. Opening his eyes from hearing his name, he moved from his yoga pose. His eyes lit up from seeing the herd again. Though they did kinda destroy Geotopia, he was still happy to see Brooke. Plus, he was able to be young, making him happy again, so no hard feelings.

"Ah, Brooke I'm glad to see you again! Have you come to meditate with me, oh! Or to do some yoga?" Shangra llama said bouncing around.

" Uh, no, actually we are here to ask for a favor." Diego said not wanting to go through yoga again.

" And what is the favor?" Shangra llama asked interested.

" Hey! Has anyone seen Precious or my huncky bunny?!" Granny shouted. Upon hearing his name the blue bunny, known as Teddy came and picked up Granny.

" Oh my dear Sloth, I have truly missed you." He said.

" You see, we are going on a toad trip and was wondering if Granny could stay here for a while?" Manny asked. Shangra llama agreed with letting Granny stay. With that the herd was off again.

" Bye, Granny!" Sid yelled back before joining the herd to leave.

" Off we go!" Buck yelled as they headed in the opposite direction that they came from. Buck in the front leading the herd, Shira and Diego behind him, Ellie, Manny, and the possums following behind, with Sid and Brooke walking along side them, while Peaches and Julien walked in the back. Everyone was enjoying the walk until someone started to complain, and you can already guess who.

"Manny, my feet are hurting, can we take a break." Sid complained, whining. They had been walking for quite some time, but still within familiar surroundings.

" Come on Sid, you can do it. We haven't even walked that far." Manny told Sid.

" Can I at least get on your back, please Manny?" Sid asked hoping he would say yes.

" Sid, I don't know" Manny said, but Diego cut him off.

" Just anything to get him to stop complaining, please." Diego said he was tired of hearing Sid whine so much.

*sighs* "Fine, Sid come on." Manny said, he stopped so Sid could climb on.

" Lets go Manny! Mush!" Sid called, happy to be on his friend's back.

" I'll make you walk again." Manny warned.

" Ok, ok, sorry." Sid said not wanting to get down from his friend. Manny continued to walk, now carrying Sid. Shira laughed, amused by how easily Sid wanted to stop walking, even though this road trip was his idea.

" Mammals halt! It seems as though we have hit a fork in the road, we will have to make a decision, left or right?" Buck said to the herd.

" Hmm, well they both look the same to me" Manny said.

" I say we go left!" Sid said atop Manny.

" What makes you decide which way?" Diego asked, not sure if they should go left.

" I have a feeling that we will encounter a big adventure on this path." Sid answered Diego.

" Maybe going that way wouldn't be so bad Manny" Ellie told him.

" Alright, Sid, looks like we're going left." Manny told his friend.

" Yes!"

Unbeknownst to the herd, they were entering another territory. Wolf's territory. They continued the trail until they found an empty clearing big enough for the whole herd to eat and rest for the night.

" Is it just me, or does something about this place seem off?" Diego asked out loud.

" I mean, it could be just that it's a new place to us, but yeah I feel it too, as if this place is already occupied." Shira agreed. She also felt that this was too good to be true.

" Bah, you two are just scaredy-cats, there's nothing wrong here." Sid said getting off of Manny to look around.

" It does look a little creepy, and it will be even creepier at night." Julien said a little scared.

" Don't worry sweetie, it won't be too bad once we get a fire going." Peaches said trying to reassure her husband.

" Lord of the flames will help with that!" Sid said proudly. He looked around trying to find some sticks to build a fire, he soon found some, then made true to his name and sparked a flame ( that rhymed lol ). Everyone gathered around the fire, only to realize they were hungry and needed food.

"Who wants to help me find food for tonight, I'm hungry?" Manny asked

" I'll help you dad." Peaches said getting up, along with Julien.

" Yeah, I'm coming too bro dad." Julien said.

" Alright, anyone else...?" Manny asked waiting for anybody. "Ok, we'll be back." He said turning to leave.

" While you're gone I'll keep watch, Manfred." Buck said from above on a branch.

" Me and Shira will go get us some food as well." Diego said, turning with Shira to go hunt.

"Sid, you and Brooke keep the fire going, Crash, Eddie stay near Buck. Don't go anywhere, this is a new area, we don't wanna get lost. Understand?" Manny told them.

" Yes Sir!" Sid and the possums saluted Manny. Getting them a sigh and an eye roll from him.

"Don't worry Manny, I'll be here" Ellie said and with that they all parted ways.

As almost everybody went off for food, someone had been watching them settle in, get comfortable, then seperate. He watched them from a safe distance with strikingly silver eyes. He could definitely see that they were not powerless. This dark furred, average sized male wolf was contemplating a way to take down this herd. At least not by himself, they had way too many for just him alone. The odds were 4 mammoths and two Sabres, considering the little ones wouldn't be able to do anything against him and the rest of the pack, he believed that they were as good as dinner. Boy, does he not know this herd. For this to work though, he would need a good plan. He needed his leader Levy for this, he was always good at coming up with plans and they always worked. Just don't let Kyle get in the way. The wolf was in deep thought when he heard someone calling for him.

" Nick! Nick, where are you?!" It was Drew, a member of the pack calling him.

" Be quiet, you don't want them to hear you!" Nick said as Drew came to a stop. " Look." He said.

" Who- ooOoo, a mammoth and two sloths!" Drew said his mouth was already watering.

"And two possums with a weasel up there." Nick motioned up to a low branch in the distance.

" This should be easy, let's get 'em!" Drew said excitedly almost running towards them. Nick stopped him immediately.

" Wait! Not yet, they have more, a lot more, like two Sabres and three mammoths." Nick hissed at Drew, who only stepped back holding in a whine of disappointment.

" Two Sabres! And three more mammoths? How are we gonna get all of them?" Drew asked worried.

" I don't know yet, that's why we need to wait and ask Levy what he thinks first?" Nick said to Drew, " I'll wait the night and make sure they don't leave yet, meaning you need to go tell Levy we need a plan, now. We need the whole pack for this one."

" Yes, I'll go tell the leader about this." Drew then went to tell the pack.

At the same moment Drew left, all the herd members were back at the clearing, Manny and the others with the food, and Diego and Shira had already eaten theirs away from the herd. Considering they were the only carnivores in the herd they didn't want to disturb them.

" Finally, food, I'm starving!" Sid said running up to Manny.

" Ok, ok calm down Sid." Manny told him

" A fruit salad would be lovely, wouldn't it?" Brooke said while Manny handed her the ingredients.

" That sounds wonderful Brooke!" Ellie exclaimed.

" Sounds Delish." Julien said ready to eat

" Yeah, that sounds good." Peaches added

" I'm in." Said Manny

" Oh yeah!" The possums said

" Sure, I could eat." Buck said coming down.

" Alright, fruit salad it is." Brooke said while getting the salad ready.

Shira and Diego just watched the group. Once the herd was done with dinner, everyone started to get tired. Sid was already knocked out sleep on the ground.

" Alright, we should all get some shut eye, we'll figure out what to do in the morning." Manny said. Soon everyone was settling down for the night. Peaches by Julien, Manny near Ellie, Sid on the ground close by, the possums hanging on a branch under Buck, and Shira right next to Diego. Buck, in the tree, took one last look at the stars before speaking.

" Goodnight mammals... adventure awaits."

" Oh yes... I'll be waiting." Nick said chuckling

Before he closed his night vision, glinting eyes, Diego took one good look of the area, just to be sure. Only to miss the same, glinting, pair of silver eyes in the distance. He just couldn't shake the feeling that someone was there with them...watching.

Author's Note:

ooOoo, will Diego convince the herd that it's not safe there or will they meet Nick before they leave?
