Ice Age: A Summer Disaster

The Hopeless Island

Manny and Diego were shocked to see Granny has come with them and they didn't even suspect something the whole time they endured the storms and tidal waves at sea, let alone survive all that once again, but on Manny's back

Granny smacked her lips as she made herself comfortable and sat in a nearby rock

"I can't believe it, does it take stabbing you to wake you up?!" Manny yelled as Diego gave him a glare

"Are you that indestructible?"

"Eh, you did wake me up when you two sissies were fighting like two toddlers in a playground" Granny sassed as she wobbled towards the forest that was near the beach with her cane

But Manny put her back onto the rock with his trunk

"We have to go, who knows if they're really here on this island or not"

"And what if they're not?" Diego asked

"I don't know!... just follow me" Manny said as Diego placed Granny in his back and walked behind him

"Hey, I can walk myself!" Granny sneered as she hit Diego on his head with her cane

"Ow! Yeah, which is way too slow for our pace"

And received another hit from her cane, that's when he decided to keep his mouth shut

"Sid better keeps an eye on those kids, I don't want him screwing up and losing one of 'em when he can't even look after himself and keeps losing track of me"

"Because you keep wandering off when no one's looking and then I feel the need to tie you up onto a log, so you won't wander again" Manny said as Granny smacked her dry lips again

Night arrived very early and it was extremely cold and quiet, but thanks to the fire Sid had provided, everyone stayed warm and had a good sleep under the clear dark star-filled sky, aside from hearing the same weird noises coming from the forest and could even swear they heard the cry of a predator, a big predator

The morning comes as everyone was sitting around the pile of burnt wood while Sid went to get them some food, they were sulking and bored out of their minds, until Sid arrived back with a leaf bag filled with the food he was supposed to bring with him

"Alright, keep the spirit up. Way to go, yeah!" Sid smiled as he gave them each 4 red berries that looked a little funny and suspicious, along with some bark

"Um, what's this supposed to be?" Peaches asked

"Breakfast" Sid replied

"No, this is just bark and some berries" Peaches shook her head as she corrected him

"Yeah, for breakfast" Sid smiled positively

"The bark would be a pass for me, but are you sure these berries aren't poisonous or something? Because I still remember the last time you decided to eat an unfamiliar berry and you ended up paralyzed and stupid-like for the rest of the day" Noa began as Sid shook his head and assured them

"Please, I've most certainly learned my lesson and these aren't to be scared of at all"

And with that, he ate the 4 berries in one go, humming in satisfaction, only to hear a buzzing sound coming from his mouth. Lost of stinging ladybugs flew out of Sid's mouth as he screamed and repeatedly slapped his face, until he fell back and spat out the last ladybug

Everyone was silent, until Louis cleared his throat

"Well, that's something else"

Peaches reluctantly but down on the bark and immediately regretted it when she spotted something small moving in the bark and instantly spat it out and yelled
