chapter 1: Life before exciting life

Scrat the sabertoothed squirrel jumped and searched. He sniffed the ground, and walked some more. He had no idea where his acorn was. He knew it wasn't' his fault for sure. It was that disgusting sloth's fault. The one that grabbed me and pulled me back down from Earth when I was in Acorn Heaven! But it had to be somewhere. Where could it be? He sniffed again. He sniffed, searched, and never gave up. He sniffed again, and then looked ahead of him.

There was a big volcano, and...ACORN! There it was! Scrat gave a big grin, and ran over to it. It was stuck in the rocky volcano. He grabbed it, and tried to pull it out. He pulled and pulled. That thing was stuck. He climbed on top of it, and started stomping. And finally it came loose. The acorn was free.

When he grabbed it, he heard a thundery sound. He stood there, trying to figure out what it was. He then looked to where his acorn was before, and he saw that a hole has been created. He peaked inside, eyes squinted, and heard the thundery sound again. Then he saw something bright. And hot. His eyes widened, and "AHHHHHHHH!". He started to run for his life with his acorn. He ran and ran, as he screamed. He looked behind him, and he saw that a little bit of lava shot out of the hole. Scrat kept running, when a little bit of lava hit the ground right behind home. He screamed and jumped. Some more lava came again, and he screamed and jump.

He looked a head of him, and saw some water. He jumped in the water, and accidentally let his acorn loose. He was underwater, and looked up to see if he was safe. It was quiet, yet it's always quiet underwater. So he went up to the surface, and popped his head up. He saw nothing. No more lava. He sighed with relieve.

But then he just realized he didn't have his acorn. He started to panic. He got out of the water, and looked around. The acorn disappeared. Then he just thought, maybe he dropped it in the water. So he was going to jump back in. But then he heard a loud, dangerous, vicious noise, and he knew it was from some kind of creature. He screamed, and ran away, trying to get away from whatever it was.

When Ellie was just a little mammoth, she remembered that she was with her herd, but the weather got way to strong and too cold. Before she knew it, she couldn't see anybody, and started to panic. "MOMMMY!" she honked out. She called for her MOMMY for a long, long time. She then had a feeling that now she was not going in the right direction.

"MOMMY!" Ellie cried out again, then again, but no sigh of her. The weather was harsh, too harsh for her to survive. Then she saw a big tree, which was full of snow, but it was the only shelter around. So she slowly walked up to the tree. She curled up in a ball, tried her best to keep herself warm. She was beginning to doubt that nobody would find her. That none of her herd would show up.

Ellie suddenly heard a movement from above, and looked up to see what was near her. A hairy creature was hanging upside down, looking at her, curiously and worriedly. Ellie sat up, and turned her head up, staring at the smaller creature, which was known to be a possum.

Suddenly, two smaller possums peaked from behind the larger possum. "What is it, momma?" one asked. "What is she?" the other asked.

"Don't worry about it, we're going to help her," the mother replied. "Do you know where your mom is, honey?" she asked the mammoth.

Ellie lowered her eyes, giving a look to the possum that she knew she would never find her mom. She nodded sadly, then looked up at the three possums again. The next thing Ellie remembered, the mother possum had her follow them, as they walked to another tree where there was a whole in the trunk.

"Walk inside," the mother told Ellie, as the small mammoth walked into the warm place. She was still shocked by what just happened. She never knew that nobody would help her. But as she curled up in the cosy place, she smiled a bit, relieved that she was finally warm.

Ellie opened her eyes, as a big light went into her face.

"Morning sleep head," a voice said. Ellie saw Manny walk toward her, and finally knew that her dream was finished. "You overslept," Manny continued at the female mammoth.

"Oh.." Ellie hesitated to say, and finally got up . "It was one of my dream nights." Ellie was a little embarrassed of what happened, and hoped that she wasn't alone of it. "Did you have a dream night, too?"

Manny smiled at the beautiful mammoth, and walked closer to her. "No, you're the only one. We were all awake a couple hours ago. I just came in here to check on you."

Ellie smiled with embarrassment, but she wanted to get over the fact, so she changed the subject. "So what are we doing today?" she started, as she walked with Manny out of the cave.

"Whatever you want," Manny smiled. "It's a beautiful day."

Ellie smiled, as she looked around the warm habitat, and saw that the water park was just 50 feet a head of them. "It's very hot," she finally let out. "Can we go to the water park?"

"Of course," Manny replied. Manny was happier then ever. Ellie filled his empty spot. He knew that he missed his first mate, and use to have feelings of wanting a mammoth herd. But Ellie became his next love, and he already knew he loved the herd he had now. "That's where the others are; at the water park."

"Great! Let's go!" Ellie ran off, obviously not tired anymore.

Manny just stood there, watching Ellie run up to the water park. He didn't know how perky she was in the morning, but he didn't mind it. He then walked down after Ellie.

As Ellie got to the water park, she smiled as she saw a lot of animals having the time of their lives. Big kids and little kids, and some adults dived into different pools. Some animals lay in the sun, and Diego was one of them. "Hi Diego!" she let out.

Diego heard the familiar voice, and turned to Ellie, who was smiling. He smiled, and waved at her with his paw.

Crash and Eddie had fun, jumping many times into the big kid pool. They laughed every time they came up the surface, and climbed out of the water to do it again. "Look, it's Ellie!" Eddie cried out, who ran with his brother toward their sister.

"Hey boys!" Ellie exclaimed, as the two possums jumped onto her trunk and hugged it. "You over slept," Crash finally said. "I know," Ellie admitted, "but I'm here now." The two possums cheered, as they ran back to the pool, and jumped in. As they got to the surface of the water, they motioned their sister to join their fun.

Ellie ran over to the pool. She didn't want to make a big splash, so she stepped in gently. "That's much better," she said, as she felt the cool water on her body.

The two possums jumped in again, causing a splash to hit Ellie's face. She looked at her brothers, who were laughing.

Sid already had a plan of his own, when he first got up that morning. Well, he planned it the day before, but it was finally time. He had eight kids in line, who were supposed to be given lessons by the sloth on how to swim. "Ok," Sid started. "Are you kids ready to do the best thing of your life?" None of the kids answered, but a couple kids gave a big grin, letting him know that they were ready.

"Ok," Sid continued, "if you want to be a great swimmer like I am, first you have to be brave of facing the water. Are any of you guys scared of the water?"

A couple of the kids shook their heads, the same kids that responded Sid earlier with a smile. "Good," Sid replied.

"I'm hungry!" a boy shouted out. "When can we eat?" Five other kids agreed to that questioned, and started to whine.

"Hold on," Sid replied. "After your first lesson, you can eat; an hour later.

"That's no fun," the same boy complained.

"Yeah, but it's a rule," Sid replied. "Now, we got to get this lesson going, because most animals swim as babies. Everybody get into the water.

All the small animals ran into the kiddie pool, waiting for Sid to start talking again. "Now," he continued, you all need to lay on your bellies, and..." Before Sid could finish his sentence, the same five noddy kids started splashing the sloth, and laughed at him. "Hey!" he responded. "Don't you wanna swim?"

"Na," a kid said, as she and the four others got out.

Diego chuckled, as he watched the scene.

"Wait a minuet, if you don't learn to swim, then you can't swim in the big pool. The kids said nothing and continued walking away from the kiddie pool. Sid sighed as he saw three other kids still in the water.

"What are you waiting for?" one asked, as she smiled with the others, who seemed to be girls, too. "Teach us to swim!"

"Oh. Ok. Lay on your bellies. Now my little squids, you must act as if the water is your enemy. Don't run away, though. You must stalk in. And in order for you to stalk it, you must swim. So put your right hand in front of you, and kick with your left foot." Sid lay on his belly in the water, showing them want to do. "Claw, then kick." He smiled, as he saw that the younger ones were getting it, and they continued their swimming.

Sid suddenly looked a head of him, and saw the most beautiful female sloth, who seemed to be a life guard. "You keep doing what I told you," he told the kids, as she got out of the water. Sid walked up toward the female, as if he had no problem at all.

"We might need somebody else to cheer," Sid started to flirt.

"And, you are who?" the female asked.

"I'm Sid. And I'm teaching the kids how to swim."

"Oh, well I'll make sure you don't drown them," she let out a chuckle.

Sid smiled at her. She was beautiful. She had blue eyes, and short brown hair. Her figure was hot, too. She hed a long skinny neck, curvey claws, a skinny stomach, and beautiful hips. He couldn't help it. "I hope you wouldn't mind something," Sid finally said. "How about if we have a midnight swim tonight?"

The female smiled and shook her head. "No thanks. You need to watch those kids over there."

"I don't watch them during the night."

"Oh, well then, I'm not interested."

"The swim?"

"No, I'm not interested in you. I saw your eyes on me. And I'm not one of those sloths who like mating dances."

"I didn't ask you that. I just asked for a small swim."

The female put her hands on her hips, ordering Sid to leave.

Sid finally did so, and returned to the kids.

"Smoove," Diego let out, sarcastically.

Sid gave a fake smile toward Diego, and returned to his squids.
