Author's Note: Seriously this was a random idea as I was making some "Ice Age" icons! This is also further proof that I can't write anything really short say, 100 words... I'm only posting this in three short bits to save people from reading one long post.
P/L: What happens when Connor loses Abby's new mobile phone in the ice age?
"Oh... that's not good..." Connor restated the obvious severity of his situation. Swallowing hard, Connor looked back and saw that Abby was still trying to help Professor Cutter with the climate charts. Three hours standing near an anomaly that had done nothing more than resemble an open walk-in freezer box had certainly left the anomaly team a bit relaxed. Connor stared at the entrance to the prehistoric world, recalling what Cutter had earlier told him.
"It's just a very cold climate, nothing for miles," Connor repeated quietly to himself.
"What's that Connor?"
Sharply Connor turned his head and offered Danny Quinn a bright grin, "Oh, just going over a few things that Cutter was telling me earlier about this thing." Looking back at the chest-high anomaly, Connor remarked, masking over his guilt with his typical science enthusiasm, "It's kind of crazy how this is such a small anomaly, isn't it?"
Pulling his frown even tighter, Danny lifted an inquisitive brow to the science guru, replying, "I suppose... just don't stand too close to it Connor, we still can't be certain that anything dangerous won't try to come through this thing."
"Right you are, no worries," said Connor with a light bob of his head as he wrapped his arms around his waist. The look of suspicion on Danny's face alerted Connor to the fact that perhaps their newest team member was keenly aware of his plot. But that is the price he'd have to pay for recommending that a former police officer join the team.
However, Danny seemed to be concerned more with patrolling the area in a steady vigilance rather than wanting to keep an eye on Connor and so the youth turned once more to the anomaly. "Right. Well, it's either stay here and wait for Abby to kill me or risk a quick time-travel and get it. What's the worst that can happen? No raptors... just perhaps a smilodon or megabear or..."
With a quick breath Connor ducked into the anomaly and stepped into the bitter air. He immediately pulled his jacket close to his body and let out a harsh cough. Who could survive in this? Before Connor had much time to contemplate this new setting a hand crashed down upon his shoulder and spun him around.
"I knew you were up to something!"
"Danny!" Connor gasped, his heart leaping into his throat with fright. "I thought-- you were--"
"Something that could eat you?" Danny inquired in his characteristic gruff voice. "What were you thinking? There's nothing here! What are you trying to do make yourself a hero to Cutter?"
"Trying not to get killed by a certain female..." Connor replied in a soft whimper.
"What? Are you mad?"
"It's Abby's mobile, the anomaly took it!" Connor said as he yanked his arm free of Danny's grasp. He backed a little on the snow. "Let me just get it and then we can go back. No harm, yeah?"
"There will be harm done to you if we get stuck here," Danny growled, looking about him at the frozen wasteland. The instincts he had been trained in taught him to constantly survey the situation, taking in every detail imaginable. So far, no predators. Not even a sign of life!
"Oh look see, there it is!" Connor exclaimed, joyfully pointing at the snow. He carefully moved forward a few steps before Danny's voice startled him.
"Be careful, would you! You don't know how long that snow has been sitting there!"
Connor threw a light glare in Danny's direction. "Oh I suppose you're now a snow expert?"
"If a person had any sense they would be cautious when moving on a snow-covered slope."
Bending down, Connor snatched the cellphone dramatically as if to mock Danny's caution. "Oh yes, great danger here..."
At that moment the snow shifted under this unnatural weight, causing Connor to lose his balance and crash uncerimoniously on the snow. This affected a muffled groan from Connor while Danny simply tilted his head to the side, obviously restraining from a scoff of sorts.
"You all right then?"
Connor winced and rubbed his back. "Yeah..." Humiliation was more the injury than the actual fall. He picked up the little phone and brushed the snow off of it. "Everything seems normal, I guess it's okay!"
"Good, can we get going now?"
"Impatient are we?"
Now the former cop let out a short, annoyed scoff, "Something like that. I'm not exactly keen on being stranded here in the ice age."
"All right, all right I was only kidding," Connor gave a whistling sigh. He made to push himself up from the snow when he caught sight of something else in the snow. Gingerly he picked it up and showed it to Danny, "Hey look a prehistoric acorn! I think Abby would really like this! It might make her forget that I nearly lost her new phone!"
Little did Connor know that behind him, Scrat was just coming to and was now following his primal instinct: acorn finding.
