Crash and Eddie just...gawked. Eddie started to, repeatedly, slap himself in the face (the way Scrat did at the end of Ice Age 3). Stacey looked at her eldest (by a minute and a half, of course). Crash was speechless. He was our father and we had no idea!
The possums turned to look at the herd. Everyone was stone-faced with shock. Sid fainted. Ellie blinked. "You mean to say that..." Stacey blushed, but before she replied, another possum head stuck out of a nearby hole. "Ohhh yeah. She married him alright! Ran off with him is more like it!" Stacey glared. "Dad, I loved him!" "Yeah? Well it's against the rules here to marry an outsider!" Stacey rolled her eyes. "Everyone, meet Andrew, my father, and Crash and Eddie's grandfather." Andrew stalked up to his daughter. "There is a good reason why those two were despised!"
"Why? Because they are hybrids?"
"Yes."
Andrew spoke so boldly, Stacey wanted to slap him, but she didn't dare. Instead, she turned to the herd.
"Sooooooo...where did you say Buck was?"
"In an underground world FULL of dinosaurs!" Eddie piped up. Crash said nothing. Holy moly. I didn't even realize that I look like him! I've got blue eyes, just like him. I've got a short and slightly pushed up nose, just like him...Great golly miss Molly, I think I'm gonna...
Crash fainted.
...
The next morning, everyone was up and going. Manny had finally agreed to going down to Buck's little 'Dinotopia', And Crash was still recovering from his shock.
Well, sort of...
"How is this possible Mom? Your a marsupial and Buck's a mustelid*! How is this possible?"
"Crash, calm down."
"Does he even know that we are his...s-s-sons?"
"Yes, and-"
"If he knew, WHY DIDN'T HE SAY ANYTHING?"
"Because he must've thought that you guys would think he was...well, crazy-er than ever."
Silence...then suddenly:
"WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL US MOM?"
Stacey sighed. "Crash, that's hard to explain. Now relax. You're going hysterical."
Indeed he was!
"I CAN'T RELAX! I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T!-"
Eddie had knocked his brother out. "Yikes." Stacey stood shaking. "When he wakes up, be sure to keep him calm."
"Okay."
...
*For real, it's impossible for a possum and weasel to breed. 1, a possum is a marsupial (that's a scientific way of saying 'pouched mammal'. You know, possums carry their young in a pouch like a kangaroo.) and 2, a weasel is a mustelid (uh...don't know the difference between a mustelid and the average mammal...XD).
...
They never expected THIS. Instead of just falling down to the underworld, the herd found themselves sliding through ice tubes (just like in the first film :D). Everyone was shrieking at the top of their lungs. When they finally slowed to a stop, Sid squeaked, "I can't feel my throat."
They wandered around the cave quietly. Everyone knew that sooner or later trouble would come, 'cause that's what happens in a world of dinosaurs!
But little did they know it'd come so soon...
