Note: I do not own The Ice Age characters. Whitney and Chelsea however are of my own creation. I will update after every few reviews, so R&R!
Chapter 3:
Eddie ran over to the open field close by. He looked around at saw the wild flowers that stretched for at least a mile. He scurried down the tree and started picking at the flowers. After he was satisfied with the flowers, he ran back to where the herd was. By the time he got back, it was night. He laid the bouquet of flowers on the branch above Whitney, and ran to the tree that Crash was hanging from. He wrapped his tail snuggly around the limb before falling asleep.
In the morning, Crash and Eddie were up to their usual antics. They had made slingshots earlier that morning and were eager to test them out on sleeping Sid. Crash and Eddie smiled at each other mischieviously.
"One, two…" The said together
"THREE!" they heard from the other side of the clearing, and just then, Sid was peppered with fruit after fruit. The twins looked up to see Chelsea and Whitney throwing the fruits at the food covered sloth. Chelsea was eating more than she was throwing, she would throw a fruit and pop one in her mouth. She did this over and over until they were almost out of fruits. The boys turned around to climb down the tree when they each were hit with a peach in the back of the head. They spun around to see the girls giggling at them.
"'Morning Boys!" Whitney called, recovering from laughing.
"Hope you enjoyed your breakfast!" Chelsea shouted, still shaking with giggles. The boys looked at each other before jolting down the tree.
"AHH!" the girls called as they retreated down their own tree. They ran through the trees, the boys hot on their heels. They were about to reach them when suddenly, Whitney turned around. She came nose-to-nose with Eddie, almost getting run over.
"Wait!" she said. The boys stopped and looked at them expectantly. "We have a deal to offer." Whitney said, raising their interests.
"Ohhh?" the boys said, intrigued. Whitney nodded, as did Chelsea.
"Now, if you help us take down Diego, we'll-" Whitney started.
"Try," Chelsea said, covering it up with a fake cough.
"-not use you two as targets, 'k?" Whitney finished, raising an eyebrow and handing out her paw. Chelsea did the same. The boys thought it over before wiping a handful of peach juice off of their necks.
"Deal." They said, slapping their jelly-covered paws to the girls'. Whitney made a face before smiling evilly.
"K, here's the plan," Whitney said as the group formed a huddle.
Crash jogged over to Diego, a mouthful of water jiggling in his mouth. He climbed onto him and layed down on his head. The girls each got a feather, while Eddie, with his own mouthful of water, stood directly in front of Diego's sleeping face. The girls tickled Diego's ears. Soon Diego was twitching. Finally he went to swat his ear, and when he did that, he squished Crash, sending the mouthful flowing over his face. When Diego's eyes opened lazily, Eddie sent his mouthful spraying Diego's nose and mouth. Diego's eyes flew open and the two sets of twins shot up the nearest tree.
"What the heck?!" Diego said angrily as he pawed the water running down his face. He suddenly made the connection and looked up the tree at the twins. He glared daggers before storming off, to hunt more likely, since he was already up so early. The twins busted out laughing, and soon Whitney had tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Oh-oh that was good! We'll have to do that again sometime!" Whitney gasped between spurts of laughter. They all agreed before giving each other high fives. "See you guys after while!" Whitney called. She and Chelsea had to go groom their fur, and they weren't about to do that in front of the guys. The boys waved and the girls walked back to their tree.
At the tree, the girls crawled into a hole in the tree, made by the tree's previous owner. Whitney walked over to her half of the small room and sat down by a bundle of flowers.
"Where'd those come from?" Chelsea said. Whitney shrugged.
"I don't know…" she admitted. "I found them by my tail this morning when I woke up." Whitney said.
"Oh girl, you have a secret admirer!" Chelsea teased.
"Yea, I guess." Whitney said, smiling and laughing quietly. She stroked the flowers, thinking about a very special someone.
