Summary: “Never give up.”
Sid watched Diego take careful steps into the little lake of melted snow, the whole time keeping himself afloat via lying on his back. He grinned, proud that he was better at something than the tiger.
“Come one, Tiger! Remember what I taught ya’!” Sid called out, flipping over and swimming across to him. “Claw, kick, claw, kick…” He chanted. Diego rolled his eyes.
“I know the procedure. Water is still unsafe, no reason to rush into it.” Unless two possums and a sloth are in need of some rescuing, he though back. He took a few more careful steps and than watched as Sid swam around without a care in the world. Normally it would agitate him, the Sloth being so careless and arrogant. But Diego was just happy he was getting cleaned up. Lying next to him at night was nice and everything…but he could smell.
“Never give up. Just stalk your prey, Diego.” Sid called out again, “Stalk the prey…stalk the prey.” His words faded as he pretended to be a predator of the waters. Diego grinned. Oh, he could stalk his prey. He took a big jump.
“It’s as simple as one, two, thr - AH!” Sid looked up., to see a growling saber coming for him. “NOT ME!” He swam for his life, got onto land, and began running off as fast as his floppy legs could move him.
Diego stayed on his tail, growling and grinning wildly. He kept his pace just far enough away give the sloth some sort of chance.
As they ran off, Sid screaming for Manny and Diego starting to chuckle, two possums sat in a tree high above. One shook his head.
“Geez, how immature could you be?”
“Some mammals just have no class.”
“I agree - MUD PIT!”
“HOT DAMN!”
