2. Beehives and Water
''Let's go to get food,'' moaned Sid for the fourth time that afternoon.
''Okay then,'' sighed Manny, ''Let's go.'' Sid took off doing this high speed waddle while the rest walked calmly behind him.
''Manny can we stay here forever?'' asked Sid when he got there. The dandelion field had a non-ending amount of flowers. He could stay there for weeks and the dandelions would never finish. Well, at least he believed that.
''No Sid, we can't,'' answered Manny and Sid groaned. He wouldn't mind staying there. Getting over that disappointment quickly he jumped into the flowers while Crash and Eddie watched him then joined in with the eating. Diego sat down watching them his green eyes flickering occasionally.
''Sid is so funny,'' said Ellie.
''Yeah,'' said Manny watching Sid dancing in the flowers singing 'I will survive'.
Manny looked up chuckling into the tree he was picking leaves from and froze.
''Manny, '' called Ellie waving her trunk in his face. She looked where Manny was looking and screamed.
''Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,'' yelled Ellie running off. Manny followed her as fast as he could.
Sid, Crash and Eddie ran up to them. Diego jumped up wondering why he hadn't sensed any danger.
''What's wrong,'' asked Sid.
''Beee beee beehive,'' said Ellie trembling. Diego frowned.
''Was it filled up sis,'' asked Eddie.
''I don't know.''
''Check,'' said Crash.
''No way,'' said Ellie. They looked at Manny.
''I'm not going near that thing,'' he said. After Ellie he looked like the most frightened of the beehive.
''You can go,'' said Crash pointing at Eddie.
''No. You go,'' said Eddie pointing at Crash.
''Manny go,'' said Sid.
''I've told you, no,'' said Manny.
''Yeah. You and Ellie are afraid of bees,'' said Sid trying to get them angry so they would go. It didn't work very well because all he got was a large bruise on his head.
''I'll go,'' said Diego smirking. He didn't see what all the fuss was about.
''Goodbye Diego,'' said Crash.
''It was nice knowing you,'' said Eddie. Diego just rolled his eyes and walked up to the tree where the beehive was. He climbed the tree and looked at the beehive carefully. Suddenly the branch he was on snapped and he fell. Luckily he was unharmed but the noise had disturbed the bees that in response came out buzzing angrily.
''Run,'' yelled Diego shooting off like a bullet. They all ran as fast as they could until they got to a lake.
''Jump,'' shouted Manny jumping in after Ellie followed by Sid, Crash and Eddie. Diego hesitated. He wasn't afraid of water anymore but he hated water.
''Just jump,'' Sid yelled. Diego turned round and saw a bunch of bees heading in his direction. Deciding that he would rather be wet than attacked he jumped in.
''Eddie,'' called Diego.
''Yes.''
''Does this answer your question.''
''Yes,'' said Eddie.
-
Sid and Diego were watching Manny and Ellie. Manny looked so happy with Ellie.
''Aww look at Manny wanny,'' said Sid.
'''Yeah,'' said Diego.
''Love is in the air,'' said Sid in a sing song voice.
''Please don't start singing,'' pleaded Diego.
''Hmpf,'' said Sid,''I'm not going to speak to you.''
''Good,'' said Diego but Sid didn't hear him.
''It's so romantic,'' Sid said after a few seconds. Diego sighed.
''Well isn't it?'' asked Sid.
''Yeah yeah. Very romantic,'' said Diego.
''Diego you don't understand anything about true love,'' said Sid dramatically.
''Sid shut up, '' said Diego rolling his eyes and walking off.
-
Manny was looking at Ellie. They were in the cave alone. Outside Diego was chasing Crash and Eddie for some reason with Sid cheering them on. Their yells could be heard and were echoing throughout the cave.
''What's wrong Manny,'' asked Ellie knocking Manny out of his trance.
''Er...nothing.'' He went quiet. He was thinking about what Diego had said to him.
''Tell me,'' said Ellie worried. Manny signed.
''Come,'' he said leading Ellie out of the cave and far away from the others. Ellie followed Manny silently looking at him curiously.
''Um... Ellie,'' he said when they stopped.
''Yes?'' said Ellie looking at him closely.
''Ellie… I really love you and um...will you...um...be my mate?'' asked Manny blushing.
''Ahhhhhh yes!'' said Ellie then she burst into tears.
''This is the best day of my life,'' said Ellie still crying. Manny swept away a tear with his trunk.
''I love you more than anything Ellie,'' said Manny locked trunks with her.
''I love you too Manny,'' said Ellie and they looked into each others' eyes romantically.
-
Ellie approached her brothers. They had decided she would tell them the news.
''Crash, Eddie?'' she called.
''Yes,'' said Eddie appearing on her head.
''I've got something to tell you,'' she said.
''What sis,'' said Crash looking at her curiously.
''Well...um...''started Ellie suddenly embarrassed.
''Spit it out,'' said Eddie.
''Yeah sis tell us, '' said Crash.
''Well…….Manny asked me to be his mate and…..of course I said yes,'' said Ellie happily. The twins looked at each other shocked.
