They should be here by now thought Fang as he waited outside the cave, waiting for Shira and Elia to come back. Its been a while since Shira and Elia left the cave and Fang was started to get worried, how long does a girl talk take? A day? Or a week? Fang looked up the night sky wondering if he should go search for them, no maybe they just chilling somewhere and forgot to come back. Fang went back into the cave and rested and hoping Elia and Shira would come back by morning.
Early in the Morning
"Diego, time to wake up" said Eddie and Crash.
Diego moaned and opened one eye "it's too early to wake up and the sun not even up".
"We know, but we want to try something" said Eddie.
"Then why do you need me for?" asked Diego.
"It still kinda dark and we need someone like you to come with us, in case there is danger around" said Crash.
"So will you come with us?" asked Eddie.
"No I trying to get some sleep" said Diego and he turned around so his back was facing the possums.
Eddie and Crash look at each other and shrugged and started poking Diego, "poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke" said the twins as they kept poking Diego.
"Stop poking me" said Diego.
Once again the twins looked each other and started punching Diego "punch, punch, punch, punch, punch".
"Keep punching me and then you guys lose your fingers" said Diego trying to keep himself from losing his temper.
The twins quickly walk away not wanting their little fingers to be chop off.
"So who will come with us Eddie?" asked Crash.
Eddie looked around and saw Sid sleeping on his favourite rock, "How about Sid?".
"You sure? I mean I got a bad feeling about this if do we ask Sid" said Crash.
"Come on, we'll ask him" said Eddie and grab Crash arm and pulled him towards Sid.
Sid was sleep on his back and he was breathing in his mouth and the breath come out of his nose.
Eddie and Crash stood near his head, their fur going back and forth every time Sid breathes in and out.
"Wow his breathing is really strong" said Eddie.
"Maybe we should not go near his mouth in case he might eat us during his sleep" said Crash taking a step back.
"It's perfectly safe" said Crash rolling his eyes.
"You sure?"
"Yep, but you go wake him up".
"Fine" said Crash and walk slowly to Sid head, "Hey peanut head, wake up!".
There was no answer, Crash was about to speak again but Sid took a very deep breath, and it was so strong leaves and sticks started moving towards Sid, but that was not the only problem Crash accidentally flew right into Sid's mouth and went right down his throat! Sid has eaten him!
"Crash!" yelled Eddie and he leaped onto Sid stomach, "can you hear me brother?" but there was no answer. He grab two short sticks and pushed them into Sid's eyes and Sid screamed in pain.
"Ahhhh! The pain, the pain!" said Sid covering his eyes with his hands.
"Sid, give me Crash back!" said Eddie.
"What do you mean give Crash back?" asked Sid rubbing his eyes.
"You-" Eddie was cut off when Sid started to cough and had trouble breathing, Eddie punched Sid's back and out came a slimy possum.
"Crash!" yelled Eddie and was gonna hugged him but stop when he noticed he was slimy all over.
"Uh, you might wanna shake that off" said Eddie.
Crash shook his fur and all the slimy fell off.
"You okay brother?" asked Eddie.
"Is was a nightmare down there, it was like all your nightmares came true and it was so dark in there" said Crash facing his back to Eddie and hugging himself.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" asked Eddie.
Crash smiled and turned around and punched Eddie, "now I feel much better".
"You could've warn me first" said Eddie rubbing his cheek.
"Uh guys, whats going on?" asked Sid.
"Uh its a long story but anyway we want you to come with us to the beach" said Eddie.
"Why?" asked Sid.
"Uh we'll tell you on the way" said Crash and he and Eddie started walking.
"Shouldnt we wake up the herd?" asked Sid.
"Uh no there could be in a deep sleep, and trust me you don't want to wake up Diego or you may lose a claw" said Eddie.
"Now come on, we don't go all day" said Crash and he and Eddie started walking again.
"Okay, okay I'm coming" and he and started to go after them.
"Here we are" said Eddie and Crash as the twins and Sid stood in the sand as the water came inches away from their feet then down again, going back and forth up on the sand since their new home was destroyed and the mammals had to live on a new island which barely has any snow which it was mostly like a jungle but it doesn't seem to bother the mammals.
"Hmm we need to find a small pool" said Crash looking around.
"Yea and we better do this fast because the sun coming up and the herd will be awake soon" said Eddie also looking around with Crash.
"What do you guy have in plan?" asked Sid kinda getting worried if this could be one of their dirty tricks to play on him.
"We need to find some shells to make a gift" said Eddie.
"Yea and some shells mostly will be in a tiny pool" said Crash.
"You mean the one over there?" asked Sid and pointed to a tiny pool surrounded by rocks and not to far from the sea.
"Perfect!" said Crash and ran of all fours to the tiny pool.
"Yea, nice work Sid!" said Eddie and ran off to follow Crash.
"Wait up, I'm not that fast! I'm a sloth remember, we weren't made for speed" said Sid and tried to catch up with them.
Eddie hopped onto a rock and looked into the water, Crash soon was beside him. There water was crystal clear and you can see fishes swimming around and shells were half buried in the sand.
"It's too deep for us " said Eddie.
"Sid you have long arms, go grab them for us" said Crash.
"Whats in it for me?" asked Sid crossing his arms.
"Um" Crash put a hand up his nose and tooked out three red berries, "what about berries?".
"Thats been from your nose" said Sid.
"Yea but it would be a waste, if you don't eat them" said Crash, Sid couldnt refuse and took them and started eating them.
"Where did you get those?" whispered Eddie.
"Found them in Sid's belly and somehow they got into my nose" said Crash.
"Well he wouldn't eat them if he didn't love berries that much" said Eddie, "So good job".
"Thanks, no wonder I was born first, it's because I'm smart" said Crash.
"Woah who ever said you were born first?".
"My mom".
"You mean 'our' mom?.
"Well yea but still I was born first".
"Nope I was!".
"Nah uh I was!"
"No!"
"Yes!
"Uh guys a got all the shells" said Sid, Eddie and Crash looked and saw loads of shells in Sid's arms.
"Okay we now need some sea weed" said Crash.
"I go find some" replied Eddie and he ran off to search for them.
"Sid, start making holes in the shells" said Crash.
"Okay!" and Sid started using his long claws and push them into the middle of the shells, while Crash waited and was drawing in the sand with a stick.
After a while Eddie came back with a long sea weed in his hands, "Okay I got the sea weed" and he dropping them into the sand.
Crash dropped the stick he was using and ran over, "Okay now we need to hurry fast, because the sun coming up".
"Oh and I am done with the shells" said Sid.
"Okay, me and Eddie will put the sea weed through the holes in the shells, and Sid".
"Yea?" said Sid hoping he could help more since he loved shells and he wondered if they were making a necklace for someone, since he made a necklaces a lot and alway have to give them to Diego since he kept losing them, a least that what Sid's thinks.
"You go do something what sloths does" said Crash.
Sid's smiles fade "You mean you don't need anymore help?".
"We got this under control" said Eddie while he carefully put a sea weed in the hole of the shell.
"Oh" said Sid and walk away slowly, disappointed he couldn't help anymore. Sid walked on a path that led to a cliff, once he was up there he sat down and watch the sun coming up. He sighed but then he saw something on the sea, it was big and it seems to be floating on the water, no it couldn't be another ice berg ship but if it was a ship who was on it? Sid shook his head and thought he might be dreaming or something and went back to the beach to find the twins, but when he got there he only saw little footprints leading back to the herd. Guess they headed back to the herd Sid began to go back to the herd since there is really nothing else to do on the beach.
When Sid came back to the herd and found Eddie and Crash using their shells necklace to tie up Ethan while he was asleep, "Guys what a you doing?!" yelled Sid, which startled the whole herd! Ellie and Peaches woke up with a fright and accidentally fell down from their tree, Diego stood up quickly like something gonna attack him and for Ethan well he had tried to get up but only ending rolling on his back and squashing the twins. But as for Manny he was still sleeping!
"Oops did I yell to loud?" asked Sid watching everyone nearly having a heart attack.
"What the heck was this all about?" asked Diego annoyed that he got awoken up from the cat nap.
"Ow I think I hit my head pretty hard" said Peaches still lying on the floor as she rubbed her head with her trunk.
"Peaches you alright?" asked Ellie as she stood besides Peaches making sure she was okay.
"I think so" Peaches replied and slowly stood up.
"Uh why am I tied up?" asked Ethan as he was lying on his back and was tied everywhere and couldn't move.
Peaches saw this and quickly ran over to him, "You okay Ethan?".
"Yep besides being tied up".
"Here let me help you" and Peaches used her trunk to untie the seaweed with the shells on it and soon after that was done, Ethan was free. Ethan got up and said thanks to Peaches and Peaches returned a smile.
"Is everyone alright?" asked Ellie looking around the herd.
"Me and Ethan are" said Peaches.
"Diego you okay?" asked Ellie and turned to find Diego on top on Sid and Diego was not looking happy.
"Uh Diego I didn't mean to wake you up" said Sid.
"You know I'm not a morning person" growled Diego and pushed his claw close to Sid's neck.
"Diego, whats wrong with you? I never seen you like this before" said Sid.
Diego looked like he got hit in the face and quickly back away from Sid and shook his head, "I'm sorry Sid, I don't know what got into me".
"Well I will accept if you give me a big hug!" said Sid holding out his arms expecting a big from Diego, and he quickly forgot about Diego almost killing him.
"Don't push your luck Sid" growled Diego.
"Okay, okay, a sorry will do" said Sid.
"Hello?! Two possums stuck to the ground!".
Everyone looked at the two possums that was lying flat on the ground since they were nearly crushed by Ethan back.
"Oops sorry guys I didn't notice you" said Ethan and pulled them out of the ground.
"That because you nearly crush us to death!" yelled Crash.
"Do we look like fluffy cushions to you?!" yelled Eddie.
"Sorry, you guys were on my back and I was trying to get up but I was tied up. Wait did you guys tie me up?" asked Ethan not having not looking very happy.
"The boss told us not to tell you anything" said the twins.
"Boss? Since when there is a boss?" asked Ethan.
"Um guys I don't know if you havent notice but Manny still asleep" said Sid pointing at Manny. Everyone looked at Manny was sleeping peacefully.
"Wow, never knew my dad was such a heavy sleeper" said Peaches.
"Nope he is not a heavy sleeper" said Ellie as she walked around Manny, "until she spotted what she was looking for... ear plugs in Manny small ears.
"Thats why!" And she pulled them out and gave a shout right into Manny's ears.
"AAh" yelled Manny and stood up quickly running around.
"Dad calm down" said Peaches.
Manny stop in his tracks and looked at Peaches and Ethan and noticed that they were standing rather close to each other, he frowned and he push himself between them "Why is everyone awake?".
"That's not the question, the question is why did you have ear plugs in your ears?" asked Ellie frowning at him.
"Oh um that it was because uh..." Manny was lost for words.
"I found them since the boss asked them" said Eddie and Crash slapped him in the face.
"Don't blow our cover, no one needs to know that Manny is our boss!".
"Manny! Did you tell my brothers to tie Ethan up?" asked Ellie not happy with Manny.
"Well not exactly" Manny said.
"I-I just wanted to make sure that Ethan wasnt to close to our daughter
"So tieing him up was gonna solve it?".
"No, I mean I only asked the twins to move him a bit father away, not tie him up" said Manny looking at the possums twins.
"You didn't expect us to just move him did you?" asked Eddie.
"He is like almost fat like you" said Crash.
"Why does everyone think I'm fat!? Is just my fur" said Manny.
"Manny I thought I told you to-" Ellie was cut off when she saw a brown saber running towards them.
"Hey isn't that Fang? Shira brother? asked Peaches, and when Peaches said Shira Diego ears twitched.
Fang came to a stop, panting hard probably from running to fast.
"Fang? What are you doing here?" asked Ellie.
"Yea and where is Shira and that other saber with her?" Diego asked.
"I thought you guys had Shira and Elia" said Fang, "that's why I came here".
"How did you find us?" asked Diego.
"Well someone smells like rotten berries, so its easy to follow that smell but kinda stings my nose" Fang replied.
"I guess that Sid scent you followed, and I know how you feel when you follow his scent" Diego said.
"Hey! I don't smell that bad!" Sid cried then he lift his arm and took a sniff in his armpit and looked like he was about to pass out, "okay maybe I smell I tiny bit bad".
"Okay so Shira missing?" asked Peaches.
"And Elia I can't find them anywhere" Fang replied.
"I guess we should find Shira and Elia" said Ellie.
"I agree" said Manny smiling.
"And don't think I'm not done with you yet" Ellie said and Manny smiled disappeared.
"Okay we gonna find Shira and Elie, come on guys we gotta find her, she could be in trouble" Diego said already walking away to find Shira.
"Wow Diego really wants Shira back" said Eddie and Crash laughed but Diego was to far away to hear what they said.
As the herd followed Diego Peaches and Ethan were a bit far behind, Peaches thought this would be a good time to say sorry for the way her father is acting so strange, "I'm sorry about how my dad, he's been acting strange since he met you".
"What? Oh sorry when you guys talked I kinda zoned out, it happens sometimes" Ethan replied.
"So you havent been hearing of what we said?".
"Nope, but what did you guys talk about? And I still don't know why the possums tie me up for" Ethan said, "do you know?".
Peaches thought it would be better not to tell him since she doesn't know how he would react and might get upset, "Uh I kinda zoned out too" said Peaches who lied to her crush.
"Oh well, so what are w-".
"Ethan!".
Ethan and Peaches turn around to see Steffie frowning at him while Meagan and Katie were behind her.
"Steffie? Katie? Meagan? What you guys doing here?" asked Ethan.
"You ditched us three at the party last night! How could you!" cried Steffie.
"Well its-".
But Steffie saw Peaches besides him and grew more upset, "Peaches you took Ethan away from the party so you could have him all to your self didn't you?".
"What?" asked Peaches.
"You took Ethan away so you think this would be funny?".
"What!? I didn't".
"You and Ethan thought it would be funny if you left us at the party! How could you?! Thought we were friends!".
"Well, we are but-".
"No! We are not friends anymore, and I don't want to see you ever again Peaches you hear me? NEVER!" cried Steffie and stomped away crying, Meagan gave a dirty look at Peaches and quickly followed Steffie but Katie gave Peaches a sad look and walk away hanging her head low.
Peaches couldn't believe what she had heard! Does this mean she is outta of the group? And she couldn't believe she just shouted at her! In front of Ethan too!.
"I don't know about you, but I don't know why Steffie would be angry at us for leaving the party" said Ethan.
Sorry for updating late I had homework to do and I had to get ready for school.
Peace out!
