The animals followed the dodo interested on getting the watermelon back. They were surprised to see an entire flock of dodos. They seemed to be training for something important, marching around and doing exercises.
"Prepare for the Ice Age!" a dodo announced.
"Ice Age?" Sid asked.
"I've heard of these crackpots", Diego said.
"Look", Frida said pointing below them.
Below them, they spotted the dodo that stole the melon. He took it to a stump where two other melons sat. He looked beside him, noticing Manny's shadow and looked up to see all five creatures. He squawked running off to warn the other dodos.
"Intruders! Intruders!"
"Hey, can we have our melon back?" Manny asked. "Junior's hungry."
"No way!" another dodo yelled standing over the melons. "This is our private stockpile for the Ice Age. Subarctic temperatures will force us underground for a million billion years!"
"So you got three melons?"
The dodos looked at the melons obviously realizing they don't have nearly enough food for all of them. The lead dodo turned back glaring at Manny.
"If you weren't smart enough to plan ahead, then doom on you!"
The dodos walked toward Manny, menacingly while chanting doom on you. Frida growled watching them step closer. Manny looked at them knowing they were crazy and backed away.
"Get away from me!" he said.
The dodo standing over the melons fell over, knocking one of the melons off the stump. It rolled away to Sid who put the baby down to grab the melon.
"Retrieve the melon!" the dodo said. "Tae Kwan dodos attack!"
Frida and the others watched as a group of dodos jump up, ready to fight. One of them was completely unprepared because once he tried correcting himself, their attack completely failed as they started kicking each other. They kicked the melon out of the baby's hands, handing it off from dodo to dodo until the last one tossed it off the cliff. Half of the dodos ran after the melon, running off the cliff.
"Do they have any idea what they're doing?" Frida asked as she and Diego watched them
"Look at them", Diego chuckled. "They can't do anything right."
They watched as Sid went in to try and get at least one melon for the baby. The dodos fought him off, tossing the melon over a geyser. Three of the dodos ran to the geyser, trying to keep the melon from falling, but instead all three of them, and the melon fell in.
"The last melon", the dodos gasped.
Frida, Diego and Manny watched as the dodos attacked Sid who held the melon. Sid threw the melon to Manny who held it up high with his trunk. One dod got behind Manny and bit his tail, making him toss the melon in the air as he screamed in pain.
"Manny!" Frida gasped.
They watched as Sid caught the melon. He was surrounded by the entire flock of dodos. The baby started whining. He was hungry and Sid was his hope at getting food. Frida looked at Diego feeling a bit worried.
"Think he'll make it?" she asked.
"Knowing him, I doubt it", Manny said. "He can't even take care of himself."
He was proven wrong as Sid held the melon close and charged through the dodos. The three of them watched surprised Sid was able to do such a thing. Sid jumped over the rest of the dodos, making everyone watch in awe. When he touched back down on the ground, they cheered knowing the dodos lost the melon fair and square.
"Unbelievable!" Frida smiled.
Sid smiled and did a victory dance. He jumped into the air and slammed the melon down to the ground, breaking it. Everyone frowned looking at the spoiled food.
"Aw, Sid!" Diego said. "Now we got to find more food!"
Diego stopped when they saw the baby picking up a piece of the melon and ate the inside of it. They smiled knowing the baby would be satisfied with that.
"More to the right!"
Their attention was drawn to a pile of dodos Sid made walking by, trying to keep balance.
"Hey look at that", Manny joked. "Dinner and a show."
They watched as the dodos walked toward the cliff, all of them falling to their deaths. Diego walked to the cliff to see how far the bodies were. He looked at Frida and nodded in the cliff's direction.
"Hungry?" he asked. "Food's right down there."
Frida looked at him untrusting. Her stomach growled, making her ears flatten. She did need to eat sometime. Frida nodded and went with Diego to eat some of the dodos.
