Ice Age: The Breakdown

Wee...I'm finally updating! (Boo laziness...)
Anyway, we're back to our lovable gang in this chapter! Thank you for your suggestions, reviews, and love.
Let's go!
Sid rose early the next morning. He yawned, stretched, then started to waddle out of the cave, tripping over the stationary Augustus. He glanced over at Diego, then at Alex. He grinned mischievously as a plan began burning his brain. He left the cave, carefully, thinking out how to go about it. Then he saw some leafy green food. He eagerly ran over to it.
THWACK! THWACK!
He was immediately pelted by pebbles. "AH! PEBBLES ARE RAINING FROM THE SKY!" he screamed, shielding himself as best he could. Then he heard the laughter. "Oh...ha, ha, very funny, you two!" he yelled.
Crash and Eddie stuck their heads down from the tree branch. "We knew you couldn't resist those leaves!" Crash cackled. Sid growled under his breath, glaring at them. Suddenly, a lightning bug flew over his head and lit up. Sid looked up at them. "Say, guys, would you be interested in helping me with something?"
Crash and Eddie looked at each other, then back at Sid. "Like what? Thinking?" Eddie cracked. The two giggled and exchanged high fives. Sid rolled his eyes. "No, wise guys, listen!" he hissed. Then some upbeat music started playing. The possums groan, but Sid started singing.
"I think our fuzzy, feline friends are destined to be one,
And I am going to help them out, and have a little fun!
But I can't carry out this plan all by my lonesome self
Which is why I turn to you and ask you for your help
And I won't be happy 'til I get it!
Because the three of us could get it done
If it's only me
Instead of us three,
I'd be getting all the fun!"
Crash and Eddie had started grinning. This sounded fun, and it was a way to annoy Diego. They looked at each other and harmonized,
"He won't be happy 'til he gets it!
Because the three of us could get it done
If it's only he
Instead of us three
He'd be getting all the fun!"
The possums came down from the tree and shook Sid's paw. They nodded together. Then they leaned their heads into a huddle. They sang together,
"We're going to hook up some cats
And laugh the whole long while.
Soon they will be so in love
That you can't help but smile!
But we'll have to carry out
This plan with our lips sealed,
So that those two follow through
And the plan is not revealed.
And we won't be happy 'til we get it!
For they will be the perfect match, you'll see!
They may as well consent,
Cause we won't break or bend
Until they're together happily!
And we won't be happy 'til we get it!"
And with that, the music ended. Sid, Crash, and Eddie stood there proudly with their arms high in the air. Then they realized what had just happened. The possums groaned. "We just sang again!" Eddie cried. "What is causing this?!" Sid shrugged. "I don't know. But I thought it was pretty neat," he replied. Crash just rolled his eyes. "I just want to know why it's happening," he muttered.
Oy...that was interesting to write.
That song isn't an actual song. It's a parody of the song "I Won't Be Happy 'Til I Get It" from the musical Babes in Toyland. (If you get the movie version, you can hear a version of the original.) But it seemed to fit...I just had to tweak it a bit.
Anyway, feel free to keep suggesting things. I would also be happy to do IM with you guys if you want to talk to me live. (Private message me first though.)
Thanks again for the love.
Read, review, and send more love!
