Ice Age 3: The Sweet Escape Chapter four: Katie

Now it was morning. Manny was eating lettuce but he saved some for Ellie who was not yet awake and Sid was gobbling down his berry mixture Crash and Eddie were in the yard- not hungry and Diego was out hunting.

"Sid how can you eat that?"

"Hey don't blame me… Its good!"

MEANWHILE

Diego was eating some antelope.

"Yo tiger. You gonna eat the head?" An exited hyena yipped, drooling.

"He's just like the other tigers, takes a million years to eat something and then leaves hardly anything for us!" Another yelped.

"Tiger! I warned everyone about the flood about two months ago, remember. Can I have dibs on a hind leg?" A vulture commented. Over the years Diego learned to ignore the stupid scavengers. After two more minutes Diego left the rest of the antelope to the scavengers. He walked to a lake to get a drink when he heard crying. It was faint but he was curious. Diego followed the sound to the bushes and saw an attractive female saber!

She didn't even seem to notice Diego but after a few moments Diego approached her and said, "Hey… you ok?"

"What?" She whimpered, "Oh… ya I'm uh- fine."

"Well, you don't sound fine." Diego sat down next to her.

"Well I am… look just leave me alone."

"You sure cuz u seem kinda… upset"

"Well… its nothing really… so just go away and besides you're not here to make me feel better you're just a stupid guy trying to hit on me."

"Actually, I'm not. I just want to know what's wrong an-" the girl turned around and Diego noticed a spear in her bleeding side, "humans!" He said.

She said nothing and just whimpered.

"Here please- let me help you… I was attacked by humans a while ago, half of my pack was killed and our pack leader was killed in an… unfortunate accident," Diego said remembering the icicles piercing Soto.

"I'm sorry," she managed to say.

"Oh, its alright but what did happen?"

She sighed, "you're never gonna give up on this are you?"

"No."

"Well, last night me and my pack just got back from hunting… really late! And then, humans attacked us. My whole pack was killed and I was speared. So now I'm here alone and bleeding to death."

"You're not alone now." Diego said, "here, this might hurt a little, but it's the only way to get it out of you… unless you have thumbs." Diego took the spear in his mouth and pulled hard. The spear came out. The girl yelped loud and made a face but didn't cry.

"Thank you." She said to Diego.

"No problem. Hey, whats your name?"

"Katie… you?"

"Diego."

"Ok, well nice to meet you."

"Ya. Well, Katie, you said your whole pack died?"

"Ya…" She looked at the ground and pawed at the dirt.

"Do you like to eat, mammoths, sloths, and possums?"

"I wouldn't eat the possums… too germy! But I would love to have mammoth or sloth anytime!"

"Well, the pack I'm with is a little… uh … odd and sorta uncommon but I was wondering. That you know since your old pack died and all. I uh," Diego stammered with the words he was trying to put together, "would you like to join my pack?" Diego blurted out.

Katie thought for a moment but then she finally said, "why not? You seem like a nice guy and I would love to meet your unique friends!"

"Ok!" Diego exclaimed, "but lets take a walk first."

"Um, alright."

Diego and Katie walked down a path and stopped by a lake.

"Katie, I need to tell you something about my… pack."

"Ya?" Katie said a little unsure of what the big deal was.

Diego sighed and told her a complete story of how Manny, Sid, Ellie and Eddie and Crash and how he met them. Which obviously took a while to tell all two stories! Once Diego was finally done, Katie looked at Diego-very interested!

"Wow, I dunno what to say! Diego, are those true?"

"Ya… I just thought that before you come home… I should probably explain everyone to you."

Katie was still speechless.

"Do you still wanna come with me?"

"Do they make you eat veggies and fruit?"

Diego made a face, "No way! Even if they told me too I wouldn't!"

Katie laughed, "I was just kidding! Ok I would love to join the pack!"

"Great!" Diego smiled at her.

And Katie smiled back at Diego and they walked home together!
