anyone waiting to long life is hectic. I hope to write another IceAge fic

Diego stared at the grey rock taking in a lung stinging breath of cold air. He turned hearing footsteps heading for him.
"Hey Diego." Sid said carefully lifting a claw opening his mouth to say something but then shut it studying his friend. He was thin from lack of eating, and sleep. He wasn't in good shape.
"How are you?" sid continued when he got no answer. Diego looked at sid then back at the rock. "Not good. Well if I can just say, Kanya was a bad tiger. You don't need her anyway. I mean.."
His voice trailed off when diego spun around in a growl getting in his face. "Did you say something sloth?" he snapped his green eyes locked onto sid.
"Diego lay off." Manny said appearing behind the two. "Diego I know your hurting." He sighed. "I've been there. Losing someone you've loved." He looked down shutting his eyes before continuing.
"We have to start moving again. A storm is going to set in pretty soon and we need to find new shelter." He said touching diego tenderly with his trunk. It had been two weeks since the battle and the loss of Kanya.
"Fine." He said and turned and began to walk. His eyes set ahead the green in them etched with red from sleepless nights.
"Think he'll be alright Manny?" Sid asked quietly. Manny lifted Sid up onto his back and he began to walk.
"I hope so. I really do." Manny said quietly watching Diego as he kept moving.
The moon looked down watching Diego shining a gentle light over him. He sighed and felt a claw grab his shoulder. It was sid again. "what is it sid?" he asked quietly.
"you need to eat. AND sleep. You look bad." He said worriedly bending down to study diego's face carefully.
"I'll hunt tomorrow." He said dismissively turning around and sat the snow cooling him down. Manny was sitting inside the cave they had found and diego outside beside a large rock.
"You said that YESTERDAY!" Sid argued. Diego growled annoyed and looked at sid. "Well how about I eat you then?" he began to advance on sid. Sid scared for his neck began to back up.
"Don't eat THAT! It's junk food!" came a voice that was all too familiar. Diego's heart gave a lurch and he whirled around his eyes trailing up to a large rock.
"come on diego I know you have better taste than that." Kanya said and leapt down from the rock landing in front of him. Diego literally threw him self forward tackling Kanya nuzzling her like crazy.
"diego you are going to suffocate!" she said pushing him off but laughed. She turned her purple eyes onto him and smiled nuzzling him tenderly.
"no way!" sid said and laughed. "aww how cute! Tiger-wigey found his love!" sid said twirling like a ballerina.
Manny appeared hearing commotion and his mouth fell open. "what? How?" he stuttered.
Kanya pushed diego away gently so she could speak. "After diego attacked me I was hurt enough but like you all saw I was able to tackle sudo. He didn't kill me but cut me nice and deep.
She turned letting all to see her left side , three claw marks over her side, caked in dry blood still. Pretty bad. While Diego was wrestling with sudo I took my chance and ran. I didn't think you all would want me anymore."
She looked down but sid laughed and ran forward hugging Kanya, she nearly fell over. "Your always welcome in this heard! I mean we're weird enough!" he laughed. Kanya smiled.
"I am sorry. For setting you up." She whispered looking at Manny, sid then lastly diego.
Diego smiled. "I forgive you."
A week later the two tigers were joined under a full moon and gave their loudest growls, to tell everyone nearby that they had just made a lifetime partnership.
