A/n: hi I couldn't stop writing 2 day so here we go another chapter!!!!!!!!!!
Ice age 3- the sweet escapeChapter nine- The rude awakening
It was with about six more hours of traveling before everyone finally decided to go to bed for the night. As long as they woke up early in the morning it would be alright and since Manny almost always woke up around 6 am, there would be no troubles. Or… they thought.
With a huge yawn Sid said, "woo, I'm beat… I think after I make this fire I'm going to sleep." Everyone sat around- forming a large circle.
Sid rubbed the two rocks together. Diego padded up to Katie who looked away when Diego came up to talk.
"So… I'm gonna go out and hunt, you… wanna come." Diego tried.
"No," she replied simply, "you're not the only one here who can catch food by themselves." Katie went off to go and hunt. Diego sighed but went off as well.
"Ouch." Eddie looked away from the group.
"Ok… then they're getting food and then we'd better get to sleep." Manny complied.
"Why? The suns not even fully down yet!" Crash wined.
"Ya… and when we get up, the sun wont be up yet!" Manny snapped.
"Guys, what Manny is saying," Ellie glared at Manny, "is we will get up early so we have to go to bed early."
She turned to Manny, "although he could have said it much nicer than he did!"
"I'm sorry." Manny groaned.
A little while later, Diego came back and about five minutes after, Katie came back.
"Ok… lets get to sleep! I'm tired." Katie said with a yawn.
"Ditto!" Sid squirmed into his usual resting position and stared right up at the stars.
Manny laid down and gazed at his girlfriend. She did her usual routine with her brothers; she took Eddie by the tail and put him on a branch. Right next to Eddie on that branch was Crash.
Ellie reached up and kissed each of her brothers, (not in a perverted way!!!!!!!!!!!!) to sleep.
Then Ellie sat down right next to Manny, "I love you," Manny nuzzled her.
"I love you too!" Was Ellie's reply.
Sid then caught Diego staring at Manny and Ellie, and then glancing at Katie. Katie then glanced at Diego- but gave him a dirty look. She sat down near Ellie – making her on the other side of the fire and furthest away from Diego.
Then Katie seemed to be knocked out in an instant.
"I'm sorry about your fight with Katie." Sid said to Diego.
"Huh?" Diego pretended like he didn't know what Sid was talking about. But then he acted like he just now remembered. "Oh," He said coolly, "that… I forgot we even had a fight."
"Ya… right tiger. How dumb do you think I am?"
"Um…"
"You like her… I KNOW you do."
"WHAT?! You're crazy if you think I care for her… we're just friends… maybe not even." Then Diego felt disappointment at that statement because… it was true.
"Diego… you don't have to hide your feelings from me! I know what your feeling… think of me as your own personal empathy!" Sid grinned and looked into the tiger's eyes. "All you have to do to win her back is apologize- and MEAN it! And don't try to say the whole thing was her fault cuz it was due to your insensitivity."
Diego glared at the sloth, "Sid, I wasn't being insensitive," Just as that was said, Sid rolled his eyes but kept on listening, "and to tell you the truth. I don't care… I don't care anymore. Infact… once we cross the river, she'll forget all about me and go find another tiger pack to go with and she'll leave me and go find a GOOD boyfriend." Just then, Diego knew he said too much but what was even worse was his thoughts. 'Its true…' He thought, 'She WILL leave the pack. She WILL find a new tiger pack. She WILL replace me with a good boyfriend that's not insensitive. And with all of that said in his head, his heart sank.
Sid sighed.
"Diego… don't think like that." Sid said yawning and putting his head to the ground. "She said she hates you… the… only one who can hurt a girl… that much… is some one she really cared about…but… they… hurt her…." But with that Sid just went to sleep.
But Diego did not sleep well, those words just kept echoing in his head. 'the only one who can hurt a girl that much is some one she really cared about but they hurt her.'
'I didn't mean to hurt her. Tomorrow… first thing… I NEED to apologize… I just hope she accepts it!'
About thirty minutes later Diego finally drifted off to sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
IT WAS NINE A.M
PRACTALLY ALL OF THE ANIMALS WERE MOVING
AXXEPT FOR… YOU'VE GUESSED IT!
"Hey… you guys better get goin' if you wanna survive!" A gatoloptadon (ok ya but u tell me HOW do u expect me 2 spell that!?) yelled as he walked past the herd.
"Ya… wa- what?" Manny mumbled. "Oh no! Guys, get up," he yelled, "com'on we have to move I over slept."
After Manny getting groaning animals- who soon were very alarmed up, they were on the road.
Everyone was walking around desperate to reach the good land. They finally had to stop and take a break!
Diego, Sid and Katie rested their eyes. After three minutes, Manny shook Diego, Sid, and Katie to wake them up and they went on the move again.
Finally they saw a huge river, And they could make out in the distance, land!
"Manny, how are we gonna make it 'cross THIS river?" Diego tried to yell over the sound of the rapids.
"We'll get swept away." Eddie yelped hugging to his brother.
Manny sighed… trying to think a way out of this!
Finally Manny thought of the plan that would be safe, finally he got the plan in his head. AND the plan that would get Diego and Katie back together.
"OK, Eddie, Crash, you two will hold on to Ellie's tusks, Sid- I'll give you a ride across," Manny hated giving Sid ride but there was no choice here, "and Diego, you and Katie have to work together by sorta holding on to each other and swimming across!"
Just then Diego froze, "Guys… where is Katie?"
"I woke her back up remember? Shes probably right behind you." Manny said. Diego swerved his head around only to say,
"She's not there! I thought she was upfront… with you and Ellie!" Diego yelled!
As the Earth gave an un-easy shake and the volcano made and angry growl.
"Uh-Oh." Sid said sadly.
