Hi guys I'm back with the sequel. I hope that you guys enjoy. If you guys haven't read The Past is Painful then I recommend to read that before reading this story. I'm trying to make this story is like ice age 4 with the character swap and I'll also put in some new dialogue.

Enjoy (I don't own ice age)

After Diego's death (or at least she thought) Shira joined a herd with a mammoth and a sloth. After 2 years they have been through a lot, going against a flood where the mammoth, Manny found a mate. And going against dinosaurs while trying to rescue Sid. And that's where Manny and his mate, Elle had their daughter, Peaches.

Shira walked back to the cave where the herd lives after hunting. It was sunset and Shira saw the herd at the cave. She entered and sat down next to the fire that Sid had built. The herd were talking to each other as they were friends and family.

Sid walked up to Shira and she mentally rolled her eyes.

"Ah love such a beautiful thing," Sid said randomly.

"What do you mean Sid?" Shira was confused.

"I realized how to find happiness, I need to find a mate."

"I don't know Sid, you're not that good with ladies. Every one of them you've seen they rejected you."

"That is their problem that they don't want to date this handsome sloth. So what about you Shira? Ever going to find a mate?"

"I don't know Sid I don't think that there is another saber out there and I'm happy with it just being you guys."

"Come on love is for everybody. Even a tough saber like you need love."

"Nah Sid that isn't the type of thing for me. I'm going to sleep. Night."

"Night Shira."

Shira sat down at the corner where she slept and thought about Diego. She thought about how he was a saber that was the only person that cared about her.

Shira started to cry quietly. She thought about how she knocked him out for a mistake that she should've figured out. She thought about how she wasn't able to find him. She thought that she was the reason he died.

"I'm sorry Diego. Wherever you are, I'm so sorry. I hope you forgive me. I have always cared about you since the beginning." She quietly whispered while crying. Shira went to sleep.

On Gutt's ship

Diego was twitching and growling. He was having a lot of nightmares about that one day.

Nightmare

Diego was running through a forest with Shira in front of him. Soto and the others were chasing them. Soto was able to pounce on Diego and Shira started to stop running.

"Shira help!"Diego yelled while trying to get out of Soto's grasp.

Shira laughed "Oh and what makes you think that I'm going to help you. Do what you want with him, just let me join the fun."

Claws and kicks were coming from Soto and Shira.

"I never cared about you. Why would I have left you behind then if I cared." Shira whispered in his ear.

Diego woke up sweating and looked around. He saw that he was on the ship and laid back down. He had these nightmares over the last few days and was still angry every time he woke up from them at her.

He looked at his body and saw all of the scars from his pack. He believed that Soto had no choice, but to do all of that to him. He always when he looks at the scars he thinks about the time she left him behind. Even though the day that he got the scars was years ago, it still felt like yesterday to him.

"Ey there you having a bad time sleeping mate?" It was Raz.

"Sure I guess, these nightmares keep appearing out of nowhere." Diego only told Raz about his nightmares since he trusted her the most.

"You never told me about those nightmares you always get."

"They're about my past. One time I was traveling with this saber and I helped her with things, but when I needed her the most she abandoned me. I was captured by my pack leader who I was trying to leave and that's why I was so beat up when you found me."

"Darn it sounds like you've been through a lot. If you need anything I'm always here. I know I don't always say this but you are like a little brother to me"

"Thanks Raz, that means a lot. I'm going back to bed. Night"

"Night Diega"

"Diego" Diego said while chuckling.

"Yeah yeah I know you tell me everytime mate."

Diego laid back down. He felt proud that he found a group of friends that meant a lot to him. He was still angry and having a hard time getting over the fact that Shira left him to die.

"Some point in time I'll get my revenge on her." Diego thought as he fell asleep.

It's not that much but at least it's not that short. I hope you guys enjoyed. And I'll post the next chapter soon.
