Disclaimer: I don't own Scrat or any of the ice age characters!!!!!! Sorry I took so long with the update!!!

Scrat awakes to find himself on top of a metal garbage can. It was fall, so the metal was cold. He shakes his head quickly, his long nose floping every-which-way. He manages to get his feet under him, and only when he tries to move does he realize he is stuck. His bushy tail is frozen to the metal of the can.
He sighs and turns as far as he can to grab his tail and pull with all his might. He pulls and pulls, hoping to break free, but nothing happens. Screeching angrily, he breathes on the ice, now hoping to melt it. Still, nothing happens. Infuriated with his bad luck of the day before, he pulls his tail with as much strength as he can.
"EEE!!
Scrat breaks free--or so he thinks. He topples off the can; the top still frozen to his tail. He hits the ground with a thud and a clang. After shaking his head once more, he sees that he has unexpected company with him. He stands up, and tries to hop away with the aluminum garbage can top still attatched to his tail.
After an hour or so, Scrat finds himself in New Jersey, standing in front of the Statue of Liberty. Finally managing to get the can top off, he has found an acorn to hoard. Looking at the Statue's crown gives him ideas.
He begins to climb, enstranged onlookers curiously watching, wondering if he knows about the title wave that is supposed to hit within the hour. He doesn't know or care. He is too focused on the job ahead.

He finally reaches the Statue's crown, about 40 minutes later. As he stuffs it into a tiny groove, a title wave is forming in the backround. He turns around, and his eyes widen in fright.
"WAAAAAAAAAAWWWW!" he screams, and tries desperately to get the acorn out of the groove. It stays stuck until the last minute. Once he finally gets it out, the wave hits the Statue, washing both him and his precious acorn away.

To be continued....whenever I get the chance!!
