Chapter six: Love always comes as a surprise and a Not So Lost Sister
Raz was leading the herd to where the teens were taken.
"Uggh how long have we been walking!" Crash exclaimed.
"Fifteen minutes," Manny replied.
"Uggh it feels like hours!" Eddie whined.
"We're almost there," Raz said leading them through a cave.
They then saw a whole world of dinosaurs.
"Whoa!" Shira said in awe.
"I told you it was real," Diego said smiling.
"So how are we going to find them?" Ellie asked.
"We sleep now and we find them tomorrow," Raz said as they curled up and slept.
Back with the teens…
They had stopped for the night to sleep except for D'Arie who was looking at the moon above the ice.
Sam saw her and wondered what was wrong with her.
"She…hasn't…been…away…from her…parents…this…long." Peaches said noticing.
"Oh." Sam said.
"Why don't you go talk to her?" Megan said.
"Why do I have to?" Sam asked nervously.
"Ahem…You're both sabers." Katie said obviously.
"You're her friends, why can't you guys talk to her?" Sam said.
"Well for starters we don't have a crush on her." Ethan smirked as he pushed him to D'Arie.
Sam accidentally fell on top of her.
"Sorry! " Ethan whispered.
"We have to stop meeting like this seriously if you're going to stay in the herd." D'Arie said as she pushed him off.
"Wait stay in the herd…as in stay with you?" Sam stuttered.
"Well I will have to ask Manny if you could stay my mom would be fine with it but my dad that's a piece of work." D'Arie joked.
"But…" Sam started.
"Look Sam do you really want to be a lone saber all your life?" she asked.
Sam thought about it then shook his head.
"Well then welcome." D'Arie said then sighed and looked back at the moon.
"So…what does the moon stand for to you…I know it means a symbol for wolf packs?" Sam asked.
"When I was two I would always cry when my mom and dad went on a date with Peaches mom and dad and left me with me with our Uncle Sid and his Grandma…because he didn't know anything about taking care of kids or himself matter of fact…" D'Arie said.
Sam stifled a laugh and D'Arie socked him on the arm.
"Seriously he didn't…But mostly I thought something terrible was going to happen to them and they would never come back and when Sid thought he put me to sleep I would always stay at the cave entrance waiting for them…when they came home I told them why I was scared, then my mom told me one night to always look at the moon if I did that I would never feel alone and that's what the moon stands for me." D'Arie answered and went to the others and fell asleep by herself.
Sam felt sorry for her and slept next to her.
In the middle of the night Sam woke up to see D'Arie shivering and saw the rest of their friends curled up with one another.
"I hope she doesn't kill me for this." Sam thought as he put his paw around her.
He then heard her sniffle and then did something he didn't think he could do and licked her cheek. He then felt a vibration on his paw.
In the middle of the night…
Diego saw that Shira was not there and saw that she was outside looking at the moon.
"Hey kitty what's wrong," Diego asked as he nibbled her ear.
"Nothing just staring at the moon," Shira answered.
"Remember that night when we told her to look at the moon" Shira said.
"How can I ever forget she'll be fine we'll get her back tomorrow ok?" Diego said.
"Alright" Shira said.
Early the next morning…
The teen mammoths woke up and saw Sam with D'Arie in his arms.
"Aww that's sweet!" Katie said.
Just then D'Arie stirred yawned and saw them looking at her.
"What?" She said she then saw Sam holding her.
"This isn't what it looks like." She said.
"I know what it is *Smooch*" Peaches said.
"Alright I'll admit I do like him…possibly love him but the problem is my dad." D'Arie said.
Sam then woke up and saw D'Arie looking at him.
"Oh sorry…you were…shivering." Sam said.
"It's alright…look do you want to go swimming in the pond over there?" D'Arie asked.
"S…Sure." Sam said as they left.
"Love is in the air." Megan said.
Something was stalking them it growled then leapt.
"Aaa-"they started as a female mammoth sliced it.
"Whoa! Who are you?" Ethan asked.
"Names Cheyenne." She said.
"Cheyenne…as in Manfred's sister?" Louis asked.
"Wait you know my brother?" Cheyenne said.
"Better I'm his daughter." Peaches said.
Meanwhile…
"Manny are you awake?" Ellie whispered.
"No…" Manny grunted.
"Come on honey let's go for a drink." Ellie said.
"I'm not thirsty." Manny said.
"I wasn't asking." Ellie said as she yanked him up.
"All right all right…" Manny said as they walked to the clearing.
Meanwhile….
D'Arie was drinking water until she saw Sam looking at her.
"What?" D'Arie asked.
"Oh; nothing." Sam said.
"Well why do you keep looking at me that way?" D'Arie asked.
"Umm…" he stammered as she came up to him.
"Sam…do you have feelings for me?" D'Arie asked.
"Y-es" He said stammering.
"Well I do too." D'Arie said as she got lip close and kissed him.
Sam was shocked but then kissed back.
They were about to let go until they heard
"D'Arie?"
They turned and saw Manny and Ellie.
"Hey…Aunt Ellie…hey…Uncle Manny." D'Arie stammered.
