Epilogue: On the Move

The trio returns to the herd to see Ellie waiting for them to return. Ellie spots the trio and runs up them wondering where they went.

"Where were you guys? *gasp* Wh-What happened to Sid?" Ellie worriedly asked seeing the sloth's wounds starting to recover.

"Sorry Ellie, it's my fault… I challenged the wolf to a duel and well…you know the rest." Sid said about his earlier event.

"Is that true?" She asked the bull and saber.

"Of course he challenged him and lost. Not to mention, he won't be fighting again anytime soon." Manny said sternly towards the sloth.

"Sorry..." He said rubbing the back of his head.

"Well, just be careful next time, OK?" She said to the sloth.

Yeah...so...where are we going?" He asked.

"Still looking for a new home." Manny replied.

Sid said nothing but nodded and the herd walks off looking for a new home. They walked miles after miles until Ellie notices Diego walking to close to Sid.

"I had no idea how close you were to Sid, Diego." The shemoth remarked.

"I am not that close to him." The saber replied.

"No, I meant that your too close to him." She replied back.

"So? What's wrong with that?" He asked defensively.

"Do you...have a crush on him?" She asked nervously.

"Um, what, no! Of course not! Ellie why would you ask that kind of question?" The saber said as he blushes.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to go that far." She apologized.

"You sure? Because it sounds like you meant it." Manny replied.

"It was just a little joke, Manny. Lighten up." She said.

Sid tries to break the silence between him Diego by talking to the saber.

"Um, Diego... I..." Sid stopped as he turns away from Diego.

"What is it?" The saber asked.

"It's nothing." He sadly said.

Diego felt uneasy about the sloth's attitude and feels guilty about it. He wishes he could help the sloth get out of his gloomy state.

"Hey, I can see our new home and it's just few miles away." Manny stated.

"We can rest here for the night and leave first thing in the morning, right?" Ellie asked him.

"Sure we can." The bull replied.

"Finally!" Crash said exhausted.

"You said it!" Eddie said exhausted.

The herd decides to settle down for the night and going to their new home first thing in the morning. Late at night, everyone was asleep except for Sid who got up and walks away from the herd and Diego opens one eye to see that his friend is up in the middle of the night. Sid was in the snow drawing a heart and then wipes it away.

"What are you doing up so late?" Diego said sneaking behind the sloth.

"*gasp* O-Oh, n-nothing." Sid replied as if he was about to have a heart attack.

"Sorry about that." He apologized.

"It's fine and I was just playing in the snow." He said.

"Just playing in the snow?" The saber said raising a brow.

"Uh, yeah, it's...fun." The sloth said turning away from the saber.

"Is there something you want to talk about, Sid?" He asked him.

"No, there isn't." He shortly replied.

"Are you sure? Because you know I could-" He was cut off from the sloth's outburst.

"I SAID NO! *gasp* I'm... I am so sorry Diego, I-I didn't mean to-" He was cut off from the saber's reply.

"It's fine Sid." He said.

"No it isn't, I yelled at you back at Half-Peak and I knew shouldn't have never-" He was cut off again.

"Sid, people yell a lot over things sometimes and there are some that yells more often." The saber explained to the teary-eyed sloth.

"Oh..." The sloth replied wiping his tears away.

"Besides, what were you and that wolf talking about earlier this morning?" He asked him and he saw the sloth's eyes grew wide.

Sid couldn't tell about Diego about his problem except to those who he trusts keeping his horrible secret of his past from anyone. While fidgeting, he tries to make something up.

"Well?" Diego said getting impatient.

"Me and the wolf was talking about the species who didn't make it to the boat." Sid lied to the saber.

"Oh yeah, there were some who didn't- Wait! Hold up a second!" The saber replied getting suspicious.

"What?" The sloth replied.

"Your hiding something from us aren't you?" He accused.

"Um, you guys' birthday are coming up?" He nervously guessed.

"No! What did you and that mutt talked about!" The saber shouted.

"Oh, that... Well...I was scared of those man-eating fishes we encountered and I talked to him about it." He replied sadly.

"Oh, that talk... Well...I'm sorry for yelling at you like that." He apologized.

"Yeah... thanks..." He said smiling at Diego.

"Well, let's go back to the others." The saber said as he walks back to the herd.

"*sigh* I'm sorry Diego, Manny and everyone. I just can't tell you guys about me...yet... Wait! What I am saying? I'm never telling them what happened to me when I younger... I'll keep it secret forever...maybe..." The sloth said in his thoughts about his melancholic ordeals he had growing up.

"Sid! Come on!" The saber called.

"Oh! Coming Diego!" He said as he dashes off after the saber.

The duo returned to the area where everyone was still sleeping the night away. The two mammals lie down and fell asleep while an ominous looking shadow was watching them sleep.

"Your secret's safe with me Sid." The crimson/jet-black wolf said looking down on the sleeping sloth from the hill.

"What secret?" The mysterious mammal with a leaf cloak said.

"Nothing, ask your grandfather." He said.

"Aww boo! You're no fun!" She said in a flirtatious way.

"Your charms doesn't work on me missy." He smirked at her.

"Hmph! How long are you going keep his horrible past secret?" She questioned him.

"I don't know. I think he'll tell the herd eventually." The wolf replied.

"I guess you're right. Wanna go on a nightly stroll with me, wolfy." The leaf cloaked asked.

"It'll be my pleasure my dear." The wolf replied.

The wolf and the cloaked mammal walk off enjoying the moonlit night.

The wolf stopped following Sid and the others for now. Sid isn't going to tell the herd his horrible past... Or will he?
