Me and Manny are watching Sid attempt to climb a cliff with the baby 

"This is cake I'm fine I'm fine I'm gonna die" Sid mumbles the baby starts to slip "Manny Hope!" Sid yelled the baby falls manny tries to catch him but a tiger catches it Manny grabs the baby out of his mouth and the tiger gets mad 

"Um... that pink think thing is mine" the tiger said i climb on top of Manny's head 

"uh no actually that pink thing belongs to us" Sid said falling on his head 

"Us you three are a bit of an odd couple" the tiger said 

"there is no "Us" manny said to Sid 

"is see can't have one of your own so you want to adopt" the tiger said 

"your funny look the kitty made a funny" I said 

he glared at me 

"Look I'm sorry to interrupt your snack but we gotta go" Sid said 

"the baby i was returning him to his herd" the tiger said 

"Oh yeah nice try buck tooth" Sid said 

"you calling me a liar" the tiger said 

"i didn't say that" Sid said 

"you were thinking it" The tiger said 

"I don't like this cat he reads minds" Sid whispers to me and Manny 

"name's Diego friends" Diego said 

"Manfred and I'm not your friend" Manny said 

"Hope" i said 

"fine Manfred if you're looking for the humans then your wasting your time they left this morning" Diego said 

"thanks for the advice now beat it! all right we'll help you bring him to his herd but promise me that you'll leave us alone after that" Manny said 

"Okay! Okay deal hey what's both your problem" Sid said 

"you" Me and Manny said at the same time 

"well i think you're stressed that why you eat so much i mean it's hard to get fat on a vegan diet" Sid said to manny 

"I'm not fat it's all this fur it makes me look poofy" Manny said 

"alright right you have fat hair but when your ready to talk I'm here" Sid said 

the Sid looked at me" and you're tiny i think your frustrated" 

"thanks for the advice" i said crossing my arms as i was on Manny's tusk 

"what are you doing just drop it on the ledge" Manny said 

Sid puts the baby on the ledge and he starts to crawl 

"should we make sure they found him" Sid said 

"Good idea" i said 

"Oh no! no no no wait wait wait" Sid said Manny throws Sid up with his trunk "AHHHH! Don't pear me!" Sid yelled "Oh this is a problem" Sid said 

me and Manny get up and see that the Humans are gone 

"Now what aww that's perfect" Manny said 

i get off Manny and start to walk around "now what" i asked them 

"I told you they were gone" Diego said 

I got back on Manny's tusk 

"well look who it is don't you have some poor defenseless animal to disembowel" Manny said 

"they couldn't have gone far i mean they went this way or this way" Sid said walking around 

"you don't know much about tracking do you" Diego said 

"Hey I'm a sloth i see a tree eat a leaf that's my tracking" Sid said 

"you didn't miss they by much" Diego inspects the stick "it's still green they headed north 2 hours ago" Diego said 

Sid puts two sicks in his mouth mocking Diego "hey it's still green they headed north two hours ago" Sid said 

i jump off of Manny's tusk "you do know he's a tiger and can eat you right" I said to Sid 

"you don't need this aggravation give me the baby i can track humans down a lot faster than you can" Diego said 

I got on Manny's tusk again 

"And your just a good citizen helping out" I said 

"I just know where the humans are going" Diego said 

"Glacier pass everybody knows they have a settlement on the other side" Manny said 

"well unless you know how to track you'll never reach them before the pass closes up with snow which should be like tomorrow so you can give that baby to me or go get lost in the blizzard it's your choice" Diego said 

Manny lifts the baby above Diego then hands him to Sid 

"Here's your little bundle of Joy we're returning it to the humans" Manny said 

"Aww the big bad Tigey-Wigey gets left behind poor Tigey-Wigey" Sid said 

"Sid Tigey-Wigey is gonna lead the way" i said crossing my arms 

"Uh uh Manny Hope can i-can i talk to you guys for a second" Sid said 

"No the sooner we find the humans the sooner we get rid of Mr. Stinky Drool face and the baby too" Manny said 

I laughed 

"Hey upper tracker up front where I can see you" Manny said 

"Are you sure about this" I said looking at Manny I jump from his tusk to his trunk balancing on my two hind legs 

"I mean this is a human baby" i said 

Manny brought his trunk closer to his face as I'm balancing 

"yes I'm sure everything will be fine Hope i promise" he said i nodded
