1 I'll Always Be with you Chapter 2

Diego woke with a start but he didn't open his eyes he recalled everything that happened the spear, the roar, when he slipped off the cliff everything…'so this is what it is like to be dead? Well it feels a lot like the real life. Then the sound of Manny's voice jerked him out of his dream.

"Diego? Diego wake up!" Manny was saying. Diego opened his eyes; he was on his side the sun shining brightly in his eyes

"Manny?" he asked

"Im here" came the voice of Manny. Diego turned his head in that direction of the voice. Manny and Sid were there.

"You almost died," said Sid

"No really" Diego said dryly " where were you two?"

"Same question"

"Well, I was right behind you then heard those humans then turned back to where you were and well you weren't there, and why am I alive I fell off a-," he said

"Hold on" Manny cut in, "You weren't behind us for along time you were way behind us and we were ahead then heard the humans-,"

"And Im alive…?" Diego cut Manny's words

"Well if you let me finish I'll tell you I made a distraction you passed out Sid caught your paw just in time then I came and pulled you out and…well you get" he finished quickly at the sight of Diego's mad face because they just destroyed his pride as a saber by the hunted saving the hunter.

The whole time he was up there he grumbled but when told he didn't have to ride he said he was still tired this kept up all day. When they were getting ready to sleep Diego didn't go hunt he got skinner and skinner over the days til' Manny brought some food he ate it. Then one night when Sid was sleeping Manny asked why he didn't go and hunt

"Why?" he asked

"Why…?" Diego said thinking he knew what Manny was talking about.

"You know what Im talking about," Manny said

"No I don't" said Diego " Of course I don't" Manny looked at him, he turned away from Manny "Ok I cant walk…yet" he added quickly

"You just haven't tried yet," Manny said rolling his eyes.

"Fine" Diego said feeling like a fool even though his only with his friends. The next day Manny found out that Diego was telling the truth. Once they got up Diego didn't move from his spot. Manny reached his trunk out and helped him on all fours with his trunk underneath his stomach but when he toke his trunk away Diego fell sideways. There was snickering around…
