ICE AGE 4(PS) Part 5: Bad Day

Bad Day:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diego stood up upon his rock and stretched out his front legs before doing the same with his back legs, flexing his muscles. He yawned before jumping down and shaking himself to help sharpen his senses after his long sleep.

Diego: Nothing like a good old fashion cat nap. *he smiled to himself*

At that moment he noticed Sid, running full speed towards him with his arms outstretched screaming his name over and over again.

Sid: DIEGO!
Diego: Oh boy.

Just before Sid was about to collide with him Diego raised his paw between them, which hit Sid's face stopping him in his tracks.

Sid: Oh come on buddy just one little hug!
Diego: NO! He said sharply

Sid whined.

Sid: Not even for old time sake?!

He stretched out his arms again flaying them about desparately trying to grab the saber.

Diego: NO SID! He said rather harshly

Sid stopped moving and took a step back allowing Diego to put his paw down again.
There was a moment of silence before.....

Sid: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

He threw his head back and began balling hysterically!

Diego: O.K.
Sid: AAAAHHHHHH!!!!*sniff* WHY ME, WHY ME?!*sniff*

Sid kept on crying for a few minutes before Diego decided he'd had enough!

Diego: *sighs* If I ask you what's wrong will you stop crying?!

And just like that Sid stopped crying and carried on like nothing happened.

Sid: Yes!

Diego tried his best to hide his frustration and annoyance, which he had become particularly good at since he'd met Sid. Sid sat down in front of him and began to explain, once Sid had started Diego also decided to get more comfortable by lying down, he had a feeling this was going to take a while.

Sid: To start with this day has been the worst day of my life since.....
Diego: Yesterday? *he raised and eyebrow*
Sid: Exactly, how did you know?
Diego: *smirks* Lucky guess.

Sid went on with his story.

Sid: It's just seems like a really bad day for me, I got attacked by that damn rat!

Diego: *shakes his head the laughable memory still fresh in his mind* Weren't you the one who kept saying it was a squirrel?
Sid: Details my friend, details *he waved his hand dismissively as if it didn't matter*
Diego: *rolls his eyes*
Sid: Then I got whacked on the head by Manny because of something I shouldn't have said, as well as Granny because she'd lst her teeth, how is that my fault anyway?.
Diego: *chuckles to himself*

He had obviously missed a lot when recharging, so much so that it would seem he missed out on all the fun, typical he thought.

Sid: Plus Shira is still mad with me because I might have called her Kitty but I'm sure......
Diego: Wait what?

Up to this point Diego hadn't actually been paying full attention to what Sid was saying, but now he focused entirely on him.

Sid: Well at least she didn't react as bad as when you said it *giggles* she got you back big time I can't actually believe she managed to pin you, YOU Diego the tough saber more like Diego the.....

Diego came right in close to Sid's face and growled deep and low in his throat, it was a warning daring him to finish that sentence.

Sid: Nevermind!
Diego: Good choice *smiles* Otherwise I would have to hurt you.

There was an awkward silence, which was soon filled with an awkward laugh.

Sid: Oh yeah right you wouldn't actually do that.

Diego began to walk off in the direction of the small cliffs.

Sid: Would you......? *nervous laughs*

Diego: I'm gonna go out find some food, tell the others I'll be back soon.

And with that he was off climbing up the uneven rocks to get to the highest point in the area to see what was about. Sid slumped down, still miserable.

Sid: *whispers* Sure thing...

He knew that nobody could here him, but he said it anyway. He decided the best way to cheer up was to find a distraction and sure enough he found one in the shape of a berry patch filled with ripe, sweet fruit, and it was the only one Sid could remember that didn't have any poisonous or paralysing effects afterward. He ran over suddenly feeling very hungry, he reached in to grab the biggest one deep within the bush when....

Sid: OW!

Sid tried to pull his hand out, it was stuck, he pulled and pulled again eventually having to put his feet on the branches either side of his hand and push backward. Eventually it sprung free making Sid fly backwards tumbling and rolling in the dirt until he smacked into a large tree!

Sid: OOOOOOHHHHH!

His head was spinning, he shock it violently and managed to focus again. He looked down at his now free hand to find that his day hadn't been all bad afterall, he smiled in trimuph. He spotted Granny coming towards him with that pineapple she mentioned earlier, he jumped up and ran towards her waving his hand in the air frantically.

Sid: Granny I found your teeth, now you can eat that pineapple!
