Nova lays in front of the fire alowing the heat to hit her face as Sid adds more sticks before Manny and Ellie walk over with smiles Sid protectivly covering the fire from getting put out like last time.

"Remember the good old days?" Sid asks as he drags a piece of park over to where Diego layed

"Which good old days?" Diego asks lifting his head

"Oh, you know.. Yesterday, last week, back when the trees went up and down and the ground stayed under our feet" Sid rambles dusting off the park with his tail hitting Diego with it in the process who let's out an annoyed gasp

"Yep, those were the good days, possums were possums and mammoths were mammoths." Diego quips back

"We should get some sleep" Diego finishes

"Yeah. Tomorrow's the day. The vultures said we're all gonna die." Sid pauses for a second before his head slams into the park immediately snoring

Ellie puts crash and Eddie onto the tree before hanging from her tail herself as Manny sleeps just next to Diego, Nova turns to each animals with a small smile, she hadent felt like this since she had her pack... She let's out a small sad smile and sigh before laying her head down on her paws and drifting off

______________________

Morning comes a little to quickly in novas opinion and she let's out a roaring yawn as she stretching her paws hitting something wet and she glances in confusion at the water below her

"Water? Water?!" Diego suddenly yells in panic jumping up and onto Manny ultimately scaring him making his jump with a yell hitting the tree Ellie and the brother slept on and making them fall down with painful thuds and Nova cringes

"Crash I told you not to drink before bed" Eddie scolds his brother

"I didn't do this, at least not all of it" crash says back in slight embarrassment as the siblings make there way out of the water

"What's happening?" Ellie asks

"We overslept, we need to move" Manny says in slight panic

"What if we're the last creature's left alive? Well have to repopulate the earth" Eddie says frantically

"How? Everyones either a dude or our sister" crash quips back before looking to Nova

"Or another species" he continues

"Oh, uh, hi!" Sid suddenly calls out as he stumbles out of the trees

"You'll never guess what happens to me." Sid chuckles out

"I'm gonna go out on the limb here and say you were, sleepwalking" Diego says walking over to him and Sid shakes his head

"Oh, no, no, no I was kidnapped by a tribe of Mini-sloths" Sid informs

"That was gonna be my second guess" Diego says tiredly

"And why worshipped me! I mean sure they tossed me into a Flemming far pit, but they worshipped me" Sid says happily

"Sid you were dreaming, come on the waters rising faster then were moving" Manny says impatiently as Sid follows after them.

"Food! Glorious food!" Sid sings for the seventh time

"Sid!" The group yells at him

"What? It's catchy" Sid says innocently before turning back the group stopping as they spot the boat and cheering before Ellie yells as the ground in front of them blasts out puffs of steam

"Oh, it's just a little hot water and steam, how bad could it be?" Sid asks as a dodo wobbles out onto it before getting shooted up into the sky it's cooked body landing back onto the ground

"Thats how bad it could be Sid" Nova quips

"Okay, come on" Manny says as he tries walking through but steam plants right in front of him

"Manny get back! It's a minefield out there" Diego warns

"There's only one way to go, straight through" Manny yells back

"Stright through? We'd like to keep the fur on out bodies, thank you. we'll head back and we'll go around" Ellie snaps back

"No, no, there's no time, the dam will burst before we make it, we'll drown" Manny says in concern

"If we go through this, we got blown to bits."

"We go forward!'

"we go back!"

"Can I say something?" Diego asks

"No!" Both mammoths yell and he frowns

"You are so stubborn and hardheaded!" Manny says exasperated

"Well I guess that proves it, I am a mammoth" Ellie snaps back Nova and Diego glancing at each other with wide eyes as Ellie picks up her brothers and storms away

"I don't know, drowning sounds like a much gentler way to go, blown to bits sounds so... Sudden" Sid says before turning and walking away a small puff of steam plastic next to him making him shriek Before glaring at it.

Manny storms through, just getting missed by each blast

"He's gonna get himself killed" Nova snaps, Sid and Diego looking to her with concerned frowns

"Manny wait!" Sid calls out in worry as the mammoth walks with purpose before steam blasts right in front of him the three yelling out

"Manny!" The three call put to the mammoth as he lays on the ground looking dazed before Nova groans having enough

"Sorry manny!" She yells out before roughly clawing Manny making him yell and snap out of it

"Come on! We got to go! Now!" Diego yells and Manny shakes his head looking around before getting up with a panicked yell running and random direction before Nova pushes him in the right on "that way!" She yells as they run

Sid takes up the back yelling as he dodges multiple blasts and Nova turns to him grabbing onto the sloth and throwing him onto her back him yelling as she speeds up making it back to Manny and Diego Sid holding on for dear life.

The group stand at the end of the large crowd watching as all different animals hurry to get onto the boat as vultures fly around them.

The group run through the crowd asking if they'd seen Ellie or the brothers no one getting anything, everytime nice went to walk up to someone and as they would yell in fright and run off making her sigh in annyounce

"Hey have you seen a mammoth?" Manny asks a turtle

"Sure have, big as life" the turtle answers getting Manny's hopes up

"really? Where?" Manny asks

"I'm looking at him" the turtle quips and Manny groans out "not me!"

"Poor guy, doesn't know he's a mammoth" the turtle jokes before freezing when he hears a growl turning and seeing Nova who growls at the turtle in annoyance causing him to pick up his speed

A loud boom is heard and the crowd all stops with gasps,

"I don't see her anywhere!" Manny yells out once the crowd begins moving again

"Maybe she's already on bored" Diego yells back before ruling and cracking Is heard the crowd panicking and running.
