Chapter 11. I had very little homework today, so I felt like posting it on a Monday. And may I may a recommendation. MBSAVfan is currently working on the cutest pirates Valentines Day story A Child's Sweet and I suggest you check it out because it is one of the most adorable fan fics in the Ice Age archives.
"Flora." everyone but Flora jumped at the male voice that came out beside them.
"Hi Sam." she greeted warmly.
"So you're the famous Sam that Flora was just telling us about." said Sandy.
"Famous?" questioned Sam. Flora's eyes darkened with embarrassment. She told Sandy how cute, funny, cute, sweet, funny and cute he was (LOL, gotta love repeats). Sandy suddenly realized her mistake.
"What I meant was, I know that you two are hanging out right now, but don't worry. We won't tell a soul."
"No we won't." said Bobby. "Cash and I aren't gonna be those super protective brothers who control out sisters life. I mean it's bad enough that our dad's going that way now."
"Then you must be Bobby. Nice to meet you." said Sam grinning. "Cash, great seeing you again."
"Same here." smiled Cash. He then nodded to Sandy. "And this is Sandy, my lifelong best friend."
"Hi." waved Sandy.
"So Flora listen-"
"Hey kids, you there?" Diego called out to his kids.
"Uh-oh, it's Dad." said Bobby worryingly. "Sam, you better hide right now."
Sam obeyed and jumped into a pile of thick shrubs.
"There you are." said Diego walking up to them. "Guys listen, your Mom and I smelled some suspicious scents. They smell familiar somehow, but I can't put my claw on it. I'm getting old now. Anyway, point is, if you smell anything that you think is out of the ordinary, stay alert and let the herd know. Got it?"
"Got it Daddy." smiled Flora. That protective side of her father she didn't mind and appreciated.
"Good." Diego's face scrunched up with disgust. "Now on a completely unrelated topic, do you guys smell wet mulch? Yuck! Just remember what I told you guys and we'll be fine."
"We'll remember Diego. Thanks for the advice." said Sandy. Diego was impressed by her respect to him that they were long on a first name basis.
"No problem Sandy." smiled Diego at his son's friend as he walked away. "I'll let you get back to hanging out and meet you home later. You guys stay safe now, okay?"
"Okay Dad." said Cash.
"You can come out now Sam." said Flora reassuringly. Sam then jumped out.
"What did you do not to make our Dad see you?" asked Bobby.
"I rolled in mulch." Sam said looking a little embarrassed.
"So that's where the scent was coming from." said Sandy, cringing her face a bit. She couldn't stand the scent of mulch as much as Diego did.
"Yeah not the greatest one, but it really helps me blend into nature. So I guess I'll see you tonight Flora." the handsome saber was about to walk away when Flora, with persuasion from her brothers and friend said to him,
"Actually Sam, I'm not doing anything at this moment, so maybe you can hang out now. If you want."
"Okay, but what about your folks?"
"We'll cover for you two. They won't notice a thing." offered Bobby.
"Really? Thanks." smiled Sam.
"No problem." replied Cash. "You kids have fun now. But be back by curfew so there will be no suspicions."
Sam and Flora thanked Cash, Bobby and Sandy for covering for them once again and went off.
"I really think Sam has a thing for Flora." Bobby voiced his opinion out.
"And Flora is obviously feeling mutual." agreed Cash. "Our little sis is growing up."
"Do you think they'll end up becoming a couple sooner or later?" asked Sandy, noticing how fond Sam and Flora are of each other before they went off.
"Who knows?" said Cash. "But I think they will. I think they will."
Sweet! Sam and Flora are gonna hang out again! :D Hmm, I wonder what the suspicious scents are? One million dollars to whoever guesses! Yeah not really :(. If I was a multi-millionare I really would do that, but sadly I'm not.
Please review! :D
