Roshan continued to holding the jar out to his friends while Manny and the others waited for the kids to have an answer.
"Diego do you think the kid's drink can make them understand us?" Manny whispered
"I don't know buddy. I never heard humans make stuff like that in the ice age especially not this one" Diego whispered back
"Maybe he's a wizard" Sid guessed
"Wizard?" Manny and Diego asked in an irritated tone
"Yeah you know the guy with the drapes holding the stick that he waves around with and says, 'hocus pocus' to make things disappear, huh?" Sid told his friends
"I outta make YOU disappear, Sid" Manny replied irritatedly
"Now that I would die to see that happen" said Diego sarcastically
"Oh gee Manny, you don't have to be polite…HEY!" Sid yelled by the remark
Ellie soon stepped and shushed the three to be quiet.
(SHUSHING)
Roshan was still waiting for Rowan, Newt, Minho, Lolo and Kodak to make their response as they hesitated patiently still unsure whether to decide if they should drink it or not.
"Well guys, what do you say?" Roshan asked
Lolo sensed goodness in her friend's eyes and she was willing to do anything to stay on Roshan's side. The young girl took the first step forward.
"I believe" said Lolo
Surprised by the others including the herd the young girl walked over so she could taste Roshan's potion. As the herd members were watching Shira was talking to Ellie in secret.
"Brave girl" Shira whispered to Ellie
"I like her spirit" Ellie whispered back
Roshan unscrewed the cap and he placed it into Lolo's hands. Lolo was nervous at first fearing what the flavor would taste like but she was tenacious to try it. So with taking a deep breath, the young girl held the jar up to her lips and she took a very small sip. After tasting the potion she lowered the jar and expressed a sour twitch on her face as she shook her head trying to get the shake the nasty feeling away.
"Tastes bitter" Lolo complained
Roshan chuckled. "That's how I reacted the first time when I drank it. But you gave it a try Lolo"
But before Roshan could take the jar from Lolo, Kodak snatched the jar right out of the girl's grip and held it away from her.
"HEY!" cried Lolo
"Ah shut your yap! Your just being a wimp that's all!" Kodak told the girl
"I'AM NOT!" cried Lolo
Smirking, Kodak gently set the jar down and he pushed Lolo down on the floor making her yelp in surprise. Shira and Ellie gasped when they saw what the older boy did and the two quickly made their way over to help the girl up. Shira head-locked against Lolo's back pushing her forward; Ellie grasped Lolo by the hand and she pulled her up. Together they lifted Lolo right back on her feet again.
"Meanie!" Lolo yelled
Kodak threw his hand at Lolo before looking at Roshan. "Alright loser let's see if this stuff is worth living for"
Kodak held the jar to his lips and took a larger sip out of the container. When he did he quickly took it off his lips and with a disgusted expression he began gagging the taste flavor that was now in his mouth.
(COUGHING, SPITTING)
Roshan smirked and crossed his arms. "What's the matter you don't like it?"
After coughing, Kodak wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked at Roshan with an outraged feeling on his face.
"Tastes like a dead horse" Kodak complained
"Glad you liked it" said Roshan and he took the jar away from Kodak
Rowan was next in line as Roshan walked over to her and held the jar out.
"You really think that this can give us the gift you have? To talk to animals" said Rowan
"Only if you believe that you can talk to them. You do believe right?" said Roshan as he held the jar a little bit closer to her
"Yes I believe" Rowan replied back
Rowan breathed through her nose and sighed; she then gently gripped the container in her hand and held it to her lips and took a small sip out of it. After swallowing the potion, she grimaced a scowl on her face before she wiped her lips off with her hand.
"Not good is it" said Roshan smirking
Rowan shook her head. "Lolo's right the taste does seem bitter"
"At least you believed" said Roshan
Rowan smiled at him before handing the jar to Newt and Minho. But when Minho took the first grasp, so did Minho. The two friends raised their heads up and grimaced at each other.
"Just a minute shank, she gave it to me first. Therefore I'm drinking it first!" Newt argued
"Not a chance I'm drinking it first!" Minho argued
"We're both taking half you know that!" Newt argued
Rowan became annoyed by the two fighting like this and she rolled her sleeves up before she started walking over to them. When she did, Newt and Minho were shown pulling the jar to each other one at a time trying to get the one to let go.
"Give it to me!" Newt argued
"No, give it to me!" Minho argued
"I want it!" Newt argued
"Give it to me!" Minho argued
"Give it to me!" Newt argued
"Give it to me!" Minho argued
"Boys, boys, please. Give it to me" Rowan said calmly getting the boys to stop
Minho released his grip and Newt gave the container to Rowan.
"What happens now?" Newt asked curiously
"This!" said Rowan
Rowan gripped her hand on Newt's jaw and pried his mouth and she poured the potion into his mouth. When she did, she covered his mouth with her hand before telling him something important.
(NEWT MUMBLING)
"Don't swallow till I tell you to, got it?" Rowan said to Newt
Newt nodded and Rowan turned over to Minho as the boy started to feel like he was going to get the same thing that Newt just got.
"Wait a minute Rowan…" said Minho trying to get her to stop
But it was too late, Rowan had already gripped her hand on Minho's jaw and she pried his mouth open and began pouring the potion right into him. When she did, she covered his mouth before making sure that both boys that the potion locked in their mouths.
"Now swallow" Rowan demanded
Together, Newt and Minho swallowed the potion from their mouths and into their stomachs. When it was done, the two looked at each other in disgust and without holding anything back in they started spluttering and coughing up the juice flavor that they've just tasted
(SPLUTTERING)
(COUGHING)
"Bloody hell!…(coughing)" said Newt
"Why does it taste like crap!...(coughing)" said Minho
"Because that's what my grandmother puts in this stuff. She makes it taste like its disgusting so she doesn't have to drink it again for herself" Roshan explained
"(coughing)…Yes, exactly like crap!" said Minho
"Ah this is wasting our time that stuff didn't work on us!" Kodak argued
"Kodak show a little self-control will you. Roshan's just trying to help us" Rowan told Kodak
"He's not trying to help us, he's trying to poison us!" Kodak argued
"Well at least I did something, Kodak. I mean what you have done that's good besides killing other species?" said Roshan getting up in Kodak's face
"Let me tell you something shank you've been out here for one day. Me, I've been out here for 3 years trying to keep the tribe stable…" Kodak argued
"Yeah and you're still doing what Ragnar tells you to do! You can make your own decisions not him!" Roshan argued
"Oh then maybe you should be in charge if you're such an expert on beasts like them!" Kodak argued referring to the herd
"STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!" Rowan shouted out as she got in between Roshan and Kodak. "This is not Roshan's fault!"
While the kids were fighting, Lolo stepped aside walking backwards till she bumped up behind Ellie's trunk. She turned around and looked up as the female Mammoth smiled down and she raised her trunk up and began stroking the young girl's hair gently. Lolo smiled before Shira came up to her and the young girl raised her open hand out which allowed the silver sabress to rest her soft cheek on the girl's palm nuzzling it in delight.
"Don't listen to that meanie; he doesn't know what it's like to have an animal's loyalty. I think you guys are most fascinating creatures I've ever seen in my life" Lolo reassured the herd
Smiling by that comment, Ellie spoke out to the girl. "Oh darling, that is so sweet of you"
"You're welcome. I knew…" Lolo replied
Lolo stopped when she noticed someone was talking to her. It certainly wasn't her friends due to them standing in the other corner talking to themselves. The young girl slowly started to turn her head up looking straight into Ellie's eyes.
"Say that again, please?" said Lolo to Ellie
"I said that was sweet of you dear" Ellie repeated to the young girl
Lolo jumped back in surprise. "I…I can understand you?"
Shira's ears perked up surprisingly. "I think that pulled the trigger, Ellie"
Ellie surprisingly turned her head back to the girl. "Oh my gosh you're right!"
"No…" said Manny in disbelief
"I-I-It can't be" said Diego in disbelief
"But it is!" said Sid excitedly
Lolo's heart began pounding as she started to take as many deep breaths she could possibly can. But the excitement was too much for her and she quickly ran back towards Roshan and the others.
"Guys, Guys! I heard them, they just spoke to me, I can understand them now!" Lolo shouted excitedly
Roshan gasped with a smile realizing that his potion actually works. Kodak grew irritated and he grasped the girl by the shirt.
"Are you going to start that again?" Kodak asked agitatedly
Just before Kodak was about to make a fist he was pulled back by Newt and Minho.
"Hey pick on somebody your own size!" Minho yelled
"You can't hit a girl!" Newt yelled
Just before the three boys could start arguing Sid came across between them and stopped the fight.
"Hey quiet, there are other animals sleeping you know" Sid said quietly to Kodak, Minho and Newt
"You stay out of this!" said Kodak telling the sloth to get lost
"This doesn't involve you!" Minho told the sloth
"Yeah why don't cha knock off your own block…" Newt told the sloth
But suddenly the three stopped and they turned their heads back to Sid when they thought they heard someone talking to them. Looking at one another before looking back at the sloth, Sid happily gave them a warm welcome.
"Hi, I'm Sid. What are your names?" Sid asked happily raising a paw out towards them
Kodak, Minho and Newt looked back at each other surprisingly before each started stuttering out words.
"The sloth is talking" Newt stuttered
"What should we do?" Minho stuttered
"There's only one thing to do" Kodak stuttered
Together, the three boys screamed at the top of their lungs.
(KODAK, MINHO AND NEWT SCREAMING)
Suddenly Sid started screaming at the top of his lungs while Roshan, Rowan, Lolo and the rest of the herd members jumped up in surprise.
(SID SCREAMING)
"AGH, why is everyone screaming?" Sid asked
"You're talking!" Minho stuttered
"You just bloody spoke to us?" Newt stuttered
"Well when put it that way…umm…yes" Sid replied
"No, no this is not real! It can't be real!" Kodak stuttered
"For once I agree with Kodak. This is all a dream just a very bad dream!" Minho stuttered
"Agree! If this was real there wouldn't be two talking rats sitting on our shoulders right now" Newt stuttered
But Newt's answer was soon answered when Crash and Eddie appeared on his and Minho's shoulders.
"For your information pencil neck we're possums; not rats" Crash confirmed the skinny boy
"Yeah but you guys should have seen the looks on your faces when you drank that stuff. You were like '(coughing), (sputtering)' all over the cave" Eddie teased
Newt looked back up at Minho with a horrified expression. "This is real, this is bloody real!" he cried out
The group of friends all turned over to Roshan in disbelief. Rowan stood beside Roshan with her hand covering her mouth as Roshan smiled back seeing that the potion his grandmother made for him had succeeded.
"Roshan…how is this-?" Rowan stuttered
"Impossible? I told you all I had to do was believe. But you know what the best part is?" Roshan smiling told her
Rowan turned to him before Roshan answered. "You did too"
While jaw-dropping children were staring at the herd each member showed a sign of awkwardness to the kids. But all was broke when Sid whispered to his pals.
"What's the matter with those guys?" Sid asked about the kids
"I'm going to go on a limb and say that the potion didn't work" Diego guessed
"Like my mom once asked me, 'Cat got your tongue?'" Manny teased
That comment suddenly made Diego and Shira start growling at the mammoth making Manny step back a little.
(GROWLING)
As Manny moved to the side Ellie came up behind and she smacked him on the back of the head with her trunk making him receive a headache.
(SLAP)
"OW! What I was just kidding" Manny explained that he was only fooling around
"This is awesome!" Lolo cheered as she started dancing around the cave
While Manny and the others were watching the little girl dance, Kodak slapped his palm on his forehead before slowly rubbing it down to his face.
"I should have stayed back at the camp!" Kodak muttered
