A/N: Hi! Thank you all my lovely reviewers!Ok, this chapter, you all need to know this it's REALLY important, this chapter is 2, count them, TWO years after my last, ok, now that you all know that, enjoy!
Chapter 6- Remember me!
Tamie stood on a cliff, staring out over the land, simply enjoying the sight as the sun rose and the wind gently blowing on her face.
She had changed a lot, and not just in her height, she now had paintings of flowers and strips on her sides and over her eyes, the fur on herhead was braided andshe also had a few necklaces over her neck.
Once it had, she returned to the camp she knew oh to well.
She looked down at the ground "2 years…and still no sign of my old family…not that I don't love my new one, I just…thought the other one would care about me…at least enough to try to find me…and after all those happy memories…they really looked like they loved me…"
"Hey Tamie!" a voice shouted. She looked up and sighed "Hey Kat." Kat was now 16 "Hey buddy, you missed breakfast, what's up?" She sighed "Oh, just thinkin'..."
Kat smirked "You really gotta stop doin' that, it's making you sad. Mind givin' me a ride?" Tamie groaned, but wrapped her trunk around Kat's waist and placed her on her back all the same.
"Thanks, now the wolves need water so you think you can take me to the waterhole?" she asked. Tamie sighed "Sure." It didn't take long to get there and back.
Kat jumped off Tamie's back and poured water into the wolves bowls. The guys looked up "Thanks." Kat rubbed her knees "Ow…geez, you've gotten taller, that actually hurt!"
It was true, Tamie was almost an adult, teenager stage, you know, not adult but not a kid either. She sighed "Whatever, guys…you think my old family cared about me?"
All their eyes widened. Takara closed his eyes "She's asking again?" Lately she'd been wondering about her oldfamily and asking them about it, this question was difficalt to answer"Um…uh…"
Orion cleared his throat "Hey guys I think the master is calling us!" They all mumbled and followed him away from the two. Tamie looked at Kat.
"W-well…I bet they did, I know they did!" she said slowly.
Tamie sighed and looked down "In other words, no. (sigh) Maybe I didn't get lost…maybe they just wanted to get ready of me…" she said as she walked away.
Kat followed her "Wait, wait, wait! Tamie! Oh come on! Ugh…stupid mammoth…how are you suppose to get anything through those thick heads of theirs?"
----
Tamiewalked far away from camp…really far! No, really far, farther then she ever went, even farther then where Kat wanted to go!
But she didn't care, she wasn't even paying attention, in fact it was because she was so deep in thought and staring at her feet that she went that far!
And she probably would've gone farther, had she not bumped into something that made her fall flat on her butt.
"Hey!"
Er…someone.
Tamie gasped "That voice…" she shook her head and looked up. Standing over her, was an older mammoth, who was frowning "Watch where you're going kid!"
Tamie stood up and nodded "Sorry sir, I'll…uh...oh…oh no…wh-where am I…CRAP!" The other mammoth watched in amusement as sheran around in circles before he sighed "Ok, what?"
"I…I walked to far! My camp's way out of sight! I don't know how to get back!" she whined, sitting down in defeat. The other's mammoth's eyes widened "…What's your name?"
"Tamie…" she sniffled. He looked closer at her "Where exactly did you come from?" She sighed, "Well, this may sound weird, but I live with a pack of humans."
He looked at her andblinked "I can see that…how'd you get with them?" Tamie stood up and frowned "Ok, firstoff,you're askingto many questions, not to mention, you're getting WAY to close to my face,now it's my turn! Who are YOU?" she poked him with her trunk.
"Er…Manfred…Manny…" he said awkwardly. She still frowned "Already Manny, now, what's with all the questions?" He took a step closer and looked her in the eyes "…Just…you look familiar…how'd you get with the humans?"
Tamie huffed she was getting angry with all this guys questions "I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU ANYTHING! IFYOUR NOT GONNA HELP ME THEN I'LL FIND MY WAY BACK ON MY OWN!" and she marched off.
"Nina stop!" he yelled.
For some reason that name made her stop in her tracks.
This caught both of them by surprise.
"She stopped?"
"I stopped? Why?"
Tamie turned "…What did you just call me?" Manny moved forward "Nina…is that really you?" She looked behind her then back at him "Uh… To whom are you talking to?"
He blinked "You…you don't remember?"
"…Remember what?" she asked. Manny took a step back and looked down "She doesn't remember…" She sighed "Remember what?"
He cleared his throat "Nina…I'm your father." (NO, I'm not trying to copy that cheesy Star Wars line…er, no offence to you who like Star Wars just that line's been used in so many stupid jokes and, and…I'll shut up now…)
She gave him a look of confusion "What…but wait…if you're my father then…" her eyes narrowed "…then why did you abandon me? Weren't you looking for me? Didn't you care? Did you even notice I was gone!" her voice went from confusion to anger in nothing flat!
He frowned "Of course I did! I looked for you everywhere, don't accuse me of abandoning you!" She shook her head "No…this isn't right…you can't be…" He sighed and moved forward "Nina…"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT! MY NAME IS TAMIE! T-A-M-I-E!" she screamed and ran.
"Nina wait!" he called after her.
She continued running and chanted to herself "My name is Tamie, my name is Tamie…MY NAME…IS TAMIE!" Tamie stopped running when she started to remember a bit of the land.
Soon, she was at the waterhole and completely exhausted she practically lapped up the water.
"Tamie…"
"TaMIE!"
"Hey kid, where are ya!" She looked up "Kat? Orion? Matt, is that you?" They got there sooner then she thought they would. Kat panted "There…you…are!"
Matt smirked "I knew we'd find her!"
"Child, what's wrong?" the old wolf asked moving forward. Tamie didn't even realize she'd been crying but shewiped her eyes harshly with her trunk"Nothing!" Kat frowned "Don't lie!"
Tamie turned "I…just…he…(sigh)…I…I think…" Matt titled his head "What? Come on! Spit it out!" She swallowed hard "I think I…may have…met my dad…"

Manny dragged his feet back to the others. Sheba met him half way "Hey Manny…what's wrong?" His eyes were practically digging into the ground "Nothing…just…"
"Manny..." She said. He sighed "I…I found Nina-" Sheba suddenly let out a loud scream "REALLY? YOU FOUND MY BABY! EEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
It didn't take long for Diego, Kim and Sid to run up to them. "What are you yelling about? A certain child is asleep and if you think I'm gonna put 'em back to sleep-" Diego said immediately.
Sheba tried to calm down but couldn't stop herself from shouting "Manny found her! HE FOUND MY BABY, MY NINA!" Everyone turned their gaze to him.
Manny looked slightly uncomfortable "…(sigh) Ok, yes, I did find Nina but…" Sheba frowned "What? What did they do to her? OH SWEAR…COME ON, WE GOTTA GO KICK SOME HUMAN-"
"No, no, no! They didn't do anything to her! Its just…" he sighed. Kim looked up at him "Manny, what is it?"
"…She doesn't remember…anything…us, the human attack, anything." he finally said. Sheba sat down in shock "…No…Manny that…that can't be…"
It was silent for a moment…but then, surprisingly…
"Well then…we'll just have to make her remember…" Kim said in a devious way. Everyone looked at her. "…What…did you have in mind?" Sheba asked slowly.
Kim grinned.
THE END…for now!
