Chapter 3: Breakfast and Plans for a Sloth
It was now morning and sun's rays started to shine on snowy blankets of the valley. The first one to wake up in the morning is Sid and again he still has his melancholic expression. He went into the valley to see if the others are awake. But before he goes to the herd, he decides to get breakfast for them.
"Those sure do look pretty tasty." He said as he climbed to get the apples for him and everyone else in the herd.
"There that should be enough." He said as he climbed down the tree and set the apples on the ground.
"Hey, Sid." Diego greeted him.
"Oh, hey pal." He said with his eyes half-lidded.
"Are you alright?" The saber asked.
"Oh sorry, I had a rough time sleeping last night. *yawns*" Sid said as yawns.
"Oh, well, OK see ya." Diego said as he left.
"Hey wait, don't you want some fruit?" He shouted towards Diego.
"Sorry Sid, I don't eat fruit." He said as kept walking.
"Oh yeah I forgot, sabers are carnivores." He said to himself.
"Hello, Sid" The mammoth said.
"Oh, good morning, Ellie." He said while his eyelids started to get heavy.
"Are you OK?" She said to the drowsy sloth.
"Sorry... *yawn*I haven't slept much last night." He said.
"Oh, I shouldn't've done what I did to you last night." She said looking away from the sloth.
"It's... fine... heh heh..." He said nervously.
"Morning, Manny." Sid said changing the subject.
"Morning guys." He said.
"Morning mom, morning Uncle Sid." Peaches said.
"Yum, I love apples thanks mom!" She said.
"Uh, your uncle picked them out sweetie." Ellie said.
"Oh thanks, uncle." She said.
"You're welco... what the... ahh!" He said as he snatched the apple from his niece.
"Hey!" Peaches said.
"Sorry Peaches, but I just saw a worm went inside the apple you almost ate. See?" Sid as he showed her the apple.
"Ewww, that's nasty, why do worms live in apples?" She said after seeing the worm going back into the apple.
"Uh... well worms live in apples because they..." Just when he was just about to finish, the twins came out of nowhere blurting out an answer.
"They'll bite you whenever you touch their home!" Crash said.
"Eeek!" She said frightened.
"Oh come on you two worms don't bite." Sid said acting serious.
"Here, this one doesn't have any worms inside." He said giving Peaches another clean apple.
"OK, then we'll eat wormy one then." Eddie said.
"You two eat worms?" He asked.
"Sure.";"We them all the time." They said as they started eating the worm infested apple.
"*gulp* I know I shouldn't have seen that... maybe eating these will make me feel better." He said to himself as he ate the apples.
As time passes, everyone finished their breakfast. The mammoth looks at Sid and decides to go speak with him.
"Hey... uh Sid you got moment?" Ellie asked.
"Sure, I've just finished eating." He said.
"Um... you what do you say later on today we go for a walk?" She said.
"What the whole family?" He responded.
"No, I meant just you and me." She said clearly.
"Oh... uh... sure I'll go with you." He said nervously.
"Thanks!" She said.
"Now why would she ask me to walk with her? Does it have something to do with my mateless problem?" He said pondering what he and Ellie want to talk about.
As time passes once more, Ellie was having a conversation with Manny about Sid.
"You want to walk with Sid? For what?" Manny asked confused.
"Just to get to know him better you know, talk about his personal problems?" She replied.
"Good luck with that, me and Diego tried to see what's going on with Sid, but he wouldn't udder a word." He explained.
"So? He's a nice sloth who hasn't mated with any females of his species." She said reassuring her mate.
"OK OK, I let you walk with him." Manny said.
"Oh, thanks hun!" She said hugging him.
"But just make sure that you don't hurt him, besides sometimes you can get a little... crazy sometimes." He said concerned.
“Oh please, Manny, when was last time that ever happened?" She requested.
"Well..." He said while remembering what happened.
=Flashback=
Three weeks ago on sunny day.
"Yeehaw!" Ellie, Crash and Eddie said sliding on the ice and into Manny, Sid, Diego and Peaches.
"Whooooo! That was some rush!" Ellie said.
"Awesome!" Crash and Eddie said.
"Oh... my back...";"My nose...";"My arm..." Manny, Diego and Sid groaned.
"Hey, I got an apple!" Peaches said sitting on top on Manny's head unharmed.
=Present=
"Ohhh... that... sorry dear." She apologized after remembering what happened.
"Yeah, my back was aching for a whole week." He said remembering the pain.
"Well, I guess I should go get Sid then." She said as she walks out the cave.
As Ellie leaves the cave, she went to go find Sid and take him for a walk.
