The group have been walking for some hours Nova and Ellie sticking together at the front as the boys followed behind
Nova glances to Ellie a few times, she hadn't seemed to calm down at all, whatever manny said to her really pissed her off.
The possum brothers soon join them on Ellie's tusks as dose Manny who hesitantly walks behind her
"I uh, I thought we could walk together" Manny asks
"Crash, ask the mammoth why he thinks that" Ellie tells her brother who nods jumping over to Mannys tusk
"She said she thinks you're a jerk and to go away!" Crash snaps at the mammoth and Nova shakes her head picking up her pace to go infront.
The brothers quote more fake stuff to Manny before Novas paw slips and she yells catching everyone's attention as she does so before the rest of the herd is pulled up onto a large rock
"Stop moving!" Diego yells at the mammoths who move around in panic before they freeze, Nova let's out a small relieved breath but it doesn't last long, as the rock below there's clumbles, Sid falling from Diego's legs and onto another rock and Novas grip slipping.
"Manny, Ellie! Lock trunks!" Diego orders desperately and the two mammoths do as there told
"Crash Eddie! Grab onto that ledge!" Diego orders the brothers hugging each other
"Bye Eddie"
"Bye crash"
"Bye ellie!" The brothers cry out
"Go now!" Diego says impatiently the brothers doing just that and stopping the other rock from moving
"Nova let go and fall down to the other rock!" Diego yells to her but the wolf doesn't move her eyes wide and ears pulled back against her head as her body shakes
"Nova?!" Diego tries again but it seems as she can't hear him and he sighs in frustration
"Um, uh, I'm sorry if what I said before offended you." Manny says looking to Ellie
"What do you mean "if" it offended me?" Ellie snaps back in annoyance attempting to get out of the mammoths hold obviously forgetting there situation and the rocks moved
"That" it offended her! "That it offended her!" Crash screams out as he dangles from the rock
"I mean that! That it offended you!" Manny echos in panic and Ellie wraps her trunk back around Mannys
"You just overreacted that's all" Manny says again and Nova snaps her head up at him with a annoyed growl
"What?!" Ellie yells in disbelief
"Take it back!!" Eddie yells
"There are other lives at stake here!" Crash continues
"Wait a minute he's got a point!" Sid yells out next
"He's got nothing!!" The brothers yell at him
"It was a misunderstanding!!!" Sid yells kicking his legs
"It was insensitive!!" Crash yells back from where he dangled
"Apologies!" Diego yells at Manny
"Why me? She overreacted!" Manny snaps back
"Just apologize!!" Nova yells out to the two mammoths making Ellie look at her, the wolfs wide horrified eyes meeting her concerned ones and she reattached her trunk to Mannys
"Okay! Im sorry!" Ellie yells out
"What?!" The others yell out in confusion
"He's right! I overreacted" Ellie says sadly
"You mean you.." Manny begins
"Not another word or I'll come up there and push you over myself!!" Nova snaps at the mammoth who shuts up before Sid tries grabbing another rock only to fall and cause the rocks the group are on to move and crumble
"Run!" Nova and Diego yell in unison Nova leaping off of the rock she was hanging from and onto another her body shaking as she trys not to look down, Diego being the furthest away scrambles to get to safety before nova grabs onto him and he helps
Nova spins around before throwing the saber who roughly lands to safety while nova runs making a jump for it but misses her eyes widening if fear before two trunks wrap around each paw and she stares up at the mammoths in shock as they pull her up to safety.
"Thank you..." Nova says gently to the mammoths, Ellie smiles at her and manny gives her a nod as they turn to each other with small smiles, Sid is hugging Diego who looks about done and glances to Nova sending her a thankful smile as the possum brothers hop on there sister hugging her the best they can
