Scene 3- The search for Granny

For Manny, Ellie and Sid the search for Granny had been going on for an hour now; Sid had run ahead of the two mammoths in his panic and eventually was out of their sight and hearing range. This relieved Manny of his headache for now but it also meant that they were now searching for Sid as well as Granny; so far they had been keeping to the walk-through that made a path through the forest. Time wasn't their ally at the moment as the later it got the sooner the sun would set and leave them in the dark and they didn't have anywhere to stay that would shelter them from the elements, they needed to find the two missing sloths quick so they could establish a home for the herd.

Manny (Shouting): "GRANNY?"

Ellie (Shouting): "GRANNY? She really does move fast for an old girl.

Manny (Frustrated): *Sighs* "Yeah and we've finally got someone in the herd that's even more annoying than Sid.

Ellie: "You know you don't really mean that.

Whilst they continue to follow the trail they notice a green sloth that appeared to be stuck in the hole of a tree from the waist up, they instantly realised that it was Sid and wander over to help their friend.

Ellie: "Sid?"

Sid: "Err hey guys, little help here."

Manny pulls Sid out and places him on the ground, but then realises if Granny was stuck in there as well he would be expected to pull her out again

Manny: "Sid, please tell me that Granny isn't stuck inside of that tree. (Murmurs) Even if she is I'm not pulling her out again.

Sid: "Oh no Granny isn't in there, I was just eating the berries that were in there and I kind of got stuck."

Manny: "You do realise they were probably someone else's right."

Sid: "Oh come on, who would store them in there and not guard them or leave any sign to say they were theirs?"

Manny (Irritated): "Someone who didn't expect a green sloth, who doesn't put any thought or effort into thinking things through, to STEAL their food."

Ellie: "Guys can't this wait until later; we still don't have a place to call our own yet."

At that moment five hyrax scurried up to the tree which Sid had been stuck in, when they reached the hole were the berries where suppose too be they were shocked to find that they had all disappeared. The smallest hyrax turned to face Sid and in a mix of squeaks and odd body movements spoke to Sid and asked him if he knew were all the berries had gone, he also mentioned that they were called geass berries and told him the effects they could have on an animal that ate them. Sid admitted to eating them, the hyrax did forgive him but told him to stay close by his friends because of their nasty side effect, after this they scurried off again.

Sid: "Err this isn't good."

Manny: "Let me guess, they were those little guys berries weren't they Sid."

Sid: "Yeah, but that's not the bad news."

Ellie: "What's the bad news?"

Sid: "The berries were called geass berries, even though they tasted great their side effect may cause my body to freeze on occasion."

Manny: "Didn't you learn from last time that eating odd berries is a bad idea."

Sid didn't answer; he just stood there staring at Manny, after a long and awkward pause Ellie decided to check if Sid was still with them.

Ellie: "Sid? Hello?" *Taps Sid with her trunk and he just falls to the floor, his body frozen in position*

Manny (Frustrated): "Oh great. Now we we've got to find Granny with a Sid who's going to be jumping in and out of conciseness, (Sarcastic) how could this day get any better."

Ellie: "How long do you think he'll be out for?"

Manny lifts Sid onto his back and in his irritated state makes a spiteful comment.

Manny: "If we're lucky, the rest of the day."

This comment earned a scowl from Ellie, not pleased by her mate's cruel sense of humour especially since they didn't know if there were any other negative side effects that these geass berries could have on their friend. Ellie lightly smacked Manny over the back of his head with her trunk as she walked by him; this got her message across to him quickly and effectively.

Manny: "OW!" *Realises that his previous comment upset Ellie* "Don't worry; it's Sid, nothings ever fatal to him… Right?"

30 minutes later

The sun was beginning to set and they still hadn't found any trace of Granny. Sid had been jumping in and out of conciseness repeatedly, each time he only got out a few words which wasn't really useful, but it did reassure Manny and Ellie that their wasn't dead and they also managed to piece together that he wasn't aware of what was going on around him whilst he was unconscious from what he said whilst he has awake. With the sun setting it was bound to get dark soon and they still hadn't found a home or somewhere to spend the night; suddenly familiar voices were heard yelling for help.

Crash + Eddie (Desperate/ Scared): "HELP, HELP!" "They both scurry through the bushes, up Ellie's leg and onto her back to escape from their hunter*

Ellie: "Crash, Eddie? Is Diego still trying to get a hold of you?"

Crash (Cowering): "No, she's definitely scarier than Diego."

Ellie: "Shira?"

Eddie (Cowering): "No, she's even worse than both of them when their angry."

This confused both mammoths and they got ready to defend themselves and their family by getting into a defensive position that made them look bigger and more intimidating; they never expected an elderly, purple sloth to waddle through the bushes, waving her cane around in a deadly fashion.

Granny: "Where'd those rats go, nobody interrupts my nap and gets away with it."

Sid instantly jumped up to the sound of his cranky grandmother's voice; he climbed down from Manny and began to run towards her, not a good mistake to make.

Sid: "GRANNY? Where have you been we've been looking all over for…" *Whack* "OW!"

Granny had whacked Sid over the head with her deadly cane; this stopped him right in his tracks and also reactivated the paralyzing effect of the geass berries.

Granny: "What kind of grandson are you Sidney, leaving your grandmother in the forest by herself; shame on you. *Whacks Sid on the head again with her cane which unfreezes him*

Sid: "Wait what… What did you say Granny *Rubbing his soar head with is paw*

Granny: "And now you're ignoring me too." *Whacks Sid on his head which freezes him again*"Such an inconsiderate grandson."

Crash and Eddie can't help burst out laughing at the scene playing out in front of them.

Crash (Between gasps for breath): "It's like watching that squirrel trying to get that acorn."

Eddie (Also between gasps for breath): "I know right." *Suddenly stops laughing* "I wonder what happened to that guy."

This outburst immediately caught Granny's attention; Eddie stops his brother from laughing by placing a hand around his mouth and tries to play it off as if they've only just seen her today.

Eddie (Nervous): "Oh, hey Granny."

Granny: "IT'S THE RATS!" *Uses her cane to launch the paralyzed Sid at the scared possum brothers, this knocks them off of Ellie's back and they face plant the floor for the second time today, but this time Sid lands on top of them* "That's what ya get for disrupting my nap time."

After this Granny begins to waddle back in the direction she, plus Crash and Eddie, came from; this seemed odd to both mammoths and Manny wanted to find out where she was headed.

Manny: "Hey Granny, where are you off to."

Granny (Doesn't look back): "Home. This old lady needs her beauty sleep."

Manny: "But we haven't…"

Ellie: "Maybe we should just follow her, besides she may have found somewhere that is big enough for all of us."

Manny: *Sighs* "Fine."

Manny picks up Sid and Ellie picks up her now unconscious brothers and they begin to follow Granny, hoping that the 'Home' she mentioned was big enough for the entire herd, after all it had grown quite a bit in recent years.
