Chapter 29. Wow. I wonder how long it will take me to complete this story? It's pretty obvious that I do not own Ice Age or it's characters as much as I want to, and Give Your Heart a Break obviously belongs to Demi Lovato. Even if it's just one part from it.

The day I first met you

You told me you'd never fall in love

But now that I get you

I know fear is what it really was.

The next morning, Sam came back from doing another job Soto commanded him to do and he was welcomed back by such a beautiful voice. He had no idea Flora was such an amazing singer. Since he was the only one left in camp while the others went on a hunt and Flora's gone from hating to tolerating his visits, it wouldn't hurt.

Now here we are

So close, yet so far

Haven't I passed the test?

When will you realize

Baby I'm not like the rest

Sam listened to Flora sing near the entrance of her prison, backing up a little so that she won't see him.

Flora, there is never a day where you don't impress me. He smiled.

Don't wanna break your heart

Wanna give your heart a break

I know you're scared it's wrong

Like you might make a mistake

There's just one life to live

And there's no time to wait, to waste

So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break

Let me give your heart a break, let me give your heart a break

Oh yeah, yeah

Unfortunately as Sam attempted to get closer, he missed a step and came tumbling down the crooked stone that served as the stairs and Flora to scream in shock.

"What do you want?" scowled Flora.

"Nothing. I just heard you sing and well, I really think you have a lovely voice." complimented Sam

"Thanks." the female's reply was completely dull.

"Flora, you've been really miserable down here for the past three days."

No, really?

"I miss seeing your smile."

"Right. Good one." Flora wanted to laugh.

"I mean it."

Flora rolled her eyes. Sam was such a good actor she didn't know what to believe.

"Come on Flora. What can I do to make you feel better?"

"I don't want my own personal clown thank you very much."

"You didn't answer my question."

Flora huffed. Sam wasn't going to go through with this.

"I don't know. Ram your head into the wall."

Tough request, but anything to make Flora laugh.

Flora looked at Sam, surprised that he was actually getting ready to do it. She was being sarcastic, not serious. Yes, she was furious at Sam, but she didn't want him maiming himself!

"Sam, stop!" Flora quickly said. Sam froze at her command. "Why were you about to do that? You could have cracked your head open."

"I know. And it would be painful, but I don't care what would happen to me as long as it would make you happy."

Flora didn't show it, but she felt touched. Her anger for Sam was starting to melt a little. Just a little.

"I'm still mad at you, but it's not funny to see anyone getting fatally hurt."

"It's funny to Soto. You can say he's the type of girl who takes pleasure when other guys get hurt."

Flora couldn't help but let out a giggle at Sam's comparison. Sam warmly grinned at Flora's reaction to it. That's the laugh from Flora he was waiting for.

"Is he really that horrible?" asked Flora. "I mean I know that he is because of the stories my dad told me, but does he really mistreat you this terribly?"

Flora was worried that this question offended Sam again, but to her, he seemed relieved to be letting it out by telling her.

"Not that terribly. Most of the time, Soto just bosses me around and tells me to do some... unpleasant stuff, but he never attacked me physically. The worst he usually does is yell, but it isn't always directly at me."

"Sam, if Soto is so mean to you then why do you work for him and the rest of the pack? You're their polar opposite and it's obvious that you don't like doing it."

Sam appreciated Flora's concern for him. Especially considering that she was just starting to regain his trust now, but the experience was just so miserable and traumatic for him that he was never able to talk about it.

"Look, don't be disappointed if I tell you this, but this is really a personal thing for me and I'd rather not talk about it."

"Okay." replied Flora. If Sam didn't want to talk about it, she understood.

"Breakfast!" Sam blurted out randomly.

"What?" Flora looked at him confused.

"I forgot to catch you breakfast!"

"It's okay. I'm still full from that gazelle you brought me last night."

"I'm catching something for you anyway. That way, you won't starve later on."

"Sam, you really don't have to-"

Sam already left to get something for Flora.

How corny can he possibly get? Flora asked herself through a chuckle. On the other hand, she'd have to admit that it's very sweet of Sam to care for her. Even if she was still a little bit hot with him, she felt that it was slightly starting to cool off.

Awww, so Flora starting to warm up to Sam a little bit. Again. Sam is so sweet! Can any of you believe that he was actually willing to hurt himself just to see Flora smile?! Of course I can because I am the author and I know my own touchy moments. So PLEASE review!

And if any of you like Regular Show, I'm gonna write a Saint Patty's day one-shot for it, so keep a look-out!
