Me, Ticklish?

It was the same day as usual, yes, the kid saber sleeping in as always. Kyle, the personality of laziness, yet heroic. How can that be?

Kyle snoozes in the herd's cave, sleeping almost half through the morning. He sleeps comfortably; with his chin lying on his paws and his belly softly touching the ground. He is there undisturbed, well, in a few occasions. Crash and Eddie tiptoe slowly towards the sleeping kid saber as they giggle deviously. Crash carefully pulls Kyle's paw and puts shaving cream into it. Eddie gets closer to Kyle as he pulls out a feather and strokes it on Kyle's face. The kid saber groans a little bit as he scratches his face covering himself with the shaving cream.

Crash and Eddie laughs as they high-five each other. "Score!"

They quickly leave out of the cave in order to have the opportunity to escape. With this feeling on irritation on his face, Kyle wakes up to find shaving cream on his face. He roars in anger, frustrated with Crash and Eddie's pranks. "CRASH! EDDIE!"

Kyle stomps out of the cave with shaving cream on his face. He passes by Manny and Ellie which bring concern to them. "Hey, what's going on?" Manny said, stopping the kid saber.

Kyle turns his head towards the two mammoths. Once they see the messy cream around his face, Ellie tries to hold her laugh and Manny lets a chuckle. Kyle raises an eyebrow at them, seeming to be not amused with their reaction. "It's not funny!"

"I'm sorry, Kyle, but that's a little funny," Manny said, giggling while commenting.

"Aww, honey, he's just joking," Ellie said, trying to calm Kyle down.

"Yeah, well, I'm going to wash off," Kyle said, walking away, heading to a river.

Kyle heads to the river that is near the herd's home. He can see the rushing river with the clean fresh water passing by. He stands next to the river and cups his paws and starts splashing his face with water. Removing the cream is difficult for Kyle. The cream sticks to the fur and he's used to washing just his face with his human form. Couple of rinses and scrubs, Kyle finally washes off and was glad to have the cream removed from his face. He decides to head back until a certain saber surprised the boy.

"Hey, Kyle"

Kyle turns to the direction of the familiar voice, only to see Diego smiling at him. "Oh, hey, Diego"

Before he can reply back, Diego notices a white stain on the kid saber's ear. "You got a little…" He points to his ear as Kyle looks at his ear and feels a small amount of the shaving cream that was left over.

"Grrr, I thought I washed that off," Kyle said, removing the cream off his ear.

"What happen?" Diego asks.

"Crash and Eddie as always…" Kyle replies, removing the cream one more until he didn't feel anything of it.

"Ah, I see," Diego nods. "So, how did they get you?"

"Well, you know how much I like to sleep in, so, they kinda got me off guard when I was asleep and I guess they put cream on my paw and tickled me with some feather or something and that's how…well, you know the rest," Kyle explains.

Diego chuckles, "Clever little rascals, huh?"

"Seriously, I just want to find a way to get them back, but what?" Kyle said.

"You should try to wake up early for once," Diego said. "Someday you should come with me when I go hunting"

Kyle shakes his head in disagreement. "No, thank you. Raw meat ain't my thing"

"Oh, kids like you nowadays are just getting lazy and lazy every day," Diego jokes.

Kyle raises an eyebrow. "What does that suppose to mean?"

"I mean look at you," Diego points his paw to Kyle as the kid saber looks at himself. "You're supposed to look like a saber, and yet, you don't act like one and like to sleep until noon. It just shows how the younger offspring are just getting lazy"

"Heh, I'm going to take that as a compliment," Kyle replies.

"And I'm still going to get you back what you did to me last week," Diego said in a devious tone.

Kyle laughs. "When I poured water on you? That was funny!"

"It was not funny! I almost had a heart attack!" Diego protests.

Kyle chuckles. "It's not like you're afraid of water, kitty-cat"

"Oh, ho, ho, so you're really going there, aren't you?" Diego grins deviously.

"Yeah, and what are you going to do about it?!" Kyle playfully answers.

"'Cause this saber is gonna hunt you down!" Diego does a predatory stance. "So, I think you should run right now before I get you"

"Catch me if you can!" Kyle shouts back, starting to play a 'chase' game with Diego.

Kyle backs away from the adult saber, and then runs into the woods laughing. Diego gives Kyle a ten second head start and soon chases after the orange cub. Kyle quickly dashes into the woods laughing at the same time. He looks back to check back if Diego was chasing him. He stops and waits for a moment confused; wondering why Diego wasn't chasing him. But then, he hears heavy fast footsteps. The pupils in Kyle's brown eyes shrink as he sees Diego coming after him. Diego pounces on the kid saber as Kyle jumps in surprise. Therefore, Kyle is pinned to the ground with Diego on top, smirking at him.

"You were saying, little one?"

"Déjà vu," Kyle comments, remembering the time when Diego chased him a week ago.

Diego grins deviously. He tickles Kyle at the side of his chest as Kyle giggles of the feeling. "Diego, stop it! I'm ticklish!"

This made Diego smile as he found a way to get Kyle back. "Oh are you?"

"No! Diego, don't!" Kyle begs, but he is too late as Diego begins to tickle Kyle playfully.

Kyle laughs hysterically, couldn't help himself but lets out his laugh of the tickling feeling. Diego chuckles; continuing to tickle his little companion. Kyle tries to escape from the adult saber, but Diego pins him down and tickles Kyle under his arm.

"No, not there!" Kyle cries as he continues laughing.

"Say please then," Diego said.

Kyle continues laughing. "No! *laughs* I'm not going to- *laughs* give in!"

"Suit yourself," Diego simply said, tickling his belly.

Just a couple of moments, Kyle is starting to get enough of the tickling as the feeling was beginning to feel bothersome and hurtful. He begins to feel a little sweaty from his brown spiky mane. Kyle couldn't take it anymore. The fun tickling feeling is fading away and now starts to feel uncomfortable.

"Diego, *laughs* please stop!" Kyle laughs by the tickling but lets out a moan in pain.

After hearing his groaning, Diego immediately stops and looks at Kyle in concern. "You okay, Kyle?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that after being tickled for awhile, it starts to hurt…" Kyle explains.

"I'm sorry, Kyle," Diego apologizes, playfully messes with Kyle's hair.

"Well, it's not like you're ticklish or something…"

"Me, ticklish? No, I'm not!"

"Oh, really?" Kyle raises an eyebrow, smiling deviously.

"Kyle, don't even think about it!" Diego said backing away from the orange cub.

Kyle lunges at Diego, pinning the older saber down and starts to tickle him at the sides of his stomach. Diego tries to hold his laughter from Kyle's tickling, but it is too much for him to hold and lets it out.

"How does it feel, Diego?!" Kyle asks, grinning evilly.

Diego continues laughing as he couldn't speak without losing his breath, but manages to answer. "S-Stop, please!"

"Mmm…nope!" Kyle smiles, continuing to tickle Diego.

Diego begs. "Kyle, p-please!"

The tone coming from Diego is surprising to Kyle. Did Diego just beg him to stop? Kyle grins sneakily. "What? Is Diego begging me?"

"*laughs* S-Stop it!"

"I will, but in one condition," Kyle grins cleverly. "You have to say that I'm the best saber and that I'm better than you"

"And if I don't?" Diego questions him.

"Then I won't stop!"

"Nooooo! *laughs*"

"How do you like me now, Diego?!" Kyle said, tickling Diego as the adult saber is also getting enough with it.

Diego uses his strength he had left in him and pins Kyle as they roll down the hill and were laughing together. Then, they lie on the grassy ground floor laughing with each other; having a good time. Kyle smiles as he looks at the sky, sighing happily by the view.

"That was fun, wasn't it?" Kyle asks the saber next to him.

Diego nods, lying next to small orange cub. "Yes, it was"

"I never knew you were ticklish," Kyle said. "I guess we do have something in common"

"Ha, ha, ha, you can go ahead and laugh," Diego said sarcastically. "I still got my pride, you know"

"I don't understand. Why be so prideful? You can have pride and still have fun in your life" Kyle said, questioning the saber.

Diego sighs silently. Kyle is actually right for one thing. He can still be prideful and still have fun in his life. He hears Kyle also sighing, getting a bit concerned. "I just wonder how I will get back at Crash and Eddie," Kyle said.

Then, Diego thinks of something clever that both he and Kyle will like to get revenge on Crash and Eddie. "I think I figure something out," he said.

"What?" Kyle asks confused.

"C'mere," Diego said as Kyle got closer to him and whispers his idea in Kyle's ear.

Moments Later…

"Uhhh…. Help!" Crash moans in aid, strapped upside down with his brother tied with him.

"Somebody help us! I need to use the restroom so bad!" Eddie cries for help, crossing his legs.

Then, tied upside down by a fish hook with a fishing rod curved to an ice opening with piranhas jumping out of the water, trying to bite the two scared possums. The possums yelp in fear, ducking from the hungry piranhas. And at the side of the fishing rod, Diego and Kyle high-five in victory, then walked away together.

"Diego? Kyle? Can you guys untie us?" Eddie calls them, but the two sabers ignored him.

"Please don't leave us here! HELLLLP!" Crash shouts for help.

The two sabers leave on a following pathway towards the sun. Kyle rests his head on the adult saber's shoulder as Diego gives the slightest nuzzle to the orange cub. They head south where the saber wanted to show Kyle to exciting places that Kyle enjoys going. The two follow the sun as it leads them to a relationship that with grow for both of them.

D'awww… Finally, a second story about those two. ^^ Sorry if I haven't been updating lately. I barely got the chance to finish this and now I need to complete chapter 15 for Ice Age with Kyle 3. So, please be patient guys. I'll update as soon as I can. :)
