Chapter Three

(Author's Note: To all of you who have commented on my work, thank you sooo much, and thanks for all of the good comments. Answers to tough questions: Ray is an OC of mine, NOT a real guy. I did not in fact know that ferrets were not rodents, but I did know weasels were carnivorous. I am in fact from Gillette WY, (GO CAMELS!) and now I do in fact live in ND. I did move into a house recently though, so we're not in Arneguard anymore. My name also really is Asia Lamb too.)

By the time the day I was assigned to go to the ice age came along, believe me, I was beyond excited. In retrospect, I think I went a little bit overboard with the going away party… let's just say, do not drink ten monsters and listen to Kesha.

I woke up on my couch (Couch, meaning the small bench seat in the kitchenette of our camper), wearing too much glitter and cloths I didn't even know I had. I would have slept through the civil war if Ray hadn't called, he told me to meet him at Nelson in thirty minutes.

I panicked, washing the glitter off my face, and putting on whatever happened to be in the pile of dirty clothes in the corner of my bedroom. (Bedroom, meaning my bunk bed in our camper.) Looking back now, I wish I had paid attention to witch clothes I put on…

Once I got to Nelson, I was crazy scared that I was late or something. Thankfully I wasn't late, the only problem was my appearance.

"I'm here!" I yelled, running towards the gazebo. Ray looked like he had seen a ghost, jaw on the ground, pale as… lady gaga or something, and he didn't blink once.

"Ay dios mio!" Ray said jumping back a little, "I mean I love the, hair, and the uh, shirt."

I looked to see what he meant by "The shirt" and saw that it was my crop top that said in big bold glittery letters "Porn Star" .

"Oh f-" I stopped myself by slapping a hand over my mouth before I could say anything else. I zipped up my jacket, then Ray pointed at my head. I took out my compact and screamed, I had a red crew cut! Yep you heard me, by some fluke I had cut and dyed my hair without remembering it. "How do I not remember how that happened?" I yelled feeling the top of my head with both hands.

"Do you remember how you got that matching hicky?" Ray asked, still shocked. I grabbed my neck, this was a last Friday night moment huh?

"Nope." I answered shortly. "Is there any way we can fix this?" I asked, gesturing to my upper half. Ray pointed at the necklace Ben had given me. "Oh, duh. Blonde moment. How's It work?"

"Just tell it what to do, and it'll do it." he answered.

"Okay, get rid of this party girl look." I said, referring to the necklace. Next thing I knew, my hair was back, my porn star shirt had turned into a turtle neck, and the hicky was gone. "Neato." I said, examining myself.

"Sure is, you look better with hair and a clean neck."

"Gee thanks." I responded sarcastically.

"Ha, hey don't feel bad, Pink is pretty much the only person on earth who can pull that off." he reassured me.

"Yeah." I laughed, "I might actually make my weasel character look like that, minis the hicky."

Ray looked surprised, "Well you can look however you want, it's your face." he shrugged.

"Hells yeah, I'm an individual." I did a thumbs up and bobbed my head.

"Okay inde, let's get you turned into a weasel."

"Okay so…" I gestured for him to continue.

"So, just get a picture in your mind, and you'll turn into it."

"Okay." then I got a picture, just as instructed, a cartoon weasel with red fur and a cream colored belly (No spots, weird). I had a crew cut, (that and the color was the only thing I changed from my beginning plans) and near my nose was what you would call, freckles. As for my other features, I had florescent green eyes and a largish black nose, and, larger ears. It felt weird, having fur, different.

"When we turn into animals, where do our clothes go?" I asked.

Ray shrugged, "Mm, I guess they go into some kind of, universe Pack Rat station or sum like dat."

"Sweetness. So, what about you?" I asked, looking up at Ray, who was still a lot taller than me, even in his chair.

"Hold on." he said, pulling out from behind his solid black t-shirt, a necklace, kind of like mine, but his jewel was yellow, and sort of egg shaped. The next thing I knew Ray was raccoon, standing without any aid whatsoever. "God it feels good to stand again." Ray said, stretching. "Okay, ready to go?" Was he kidding? Uh, yeah.

"That would be a yes." I said, "So how do I, do that?"

"All you gotta do is tell your necklace to take you there." Duh.

"Okay, where in the ice age?"

"The playground Many made for Peaches."

Then I did it, I told the necklace where to take me, and it did. I opened my eyes and I was there, I was in the ice age, it was a dream come true! My biggest dream come true… yes it is sad, but it could be a lot worse, I could like Justin Bieber!

It would have been awesome, if Ray hadn't ditched me. Yep, he ditched me with no way to find the herd. All I could think to do was look for one of the members of the herd and tell them who I am, it and that's what I did.

It didn't take long to find a herd member, in fact the twin terrors were not far from where I was, they were hitting on some girl possums. Crash used a cheesy pick-up line on one of them, who proceeded to slap him. After the two girls walked away, I went over to say hello to the boys.

"Hi." the second the two saw me, they went into their "possum" pose, pretending they were dead. "Are you two Crash and Eddie?" I asked, trying to sound clueless, good acting.

Eddie shot up, "How'd you know our names?" Crash sat up and slapped him in the back of the head. "Ouch!" Eddie rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm Suzan, Suzy for short, Suze for shorter. I'm Rays friend." I held out my hands to help them up, they took them.

"I'm Crash."

"I'm Eddie."

"Nice to meet you two, Ray told me so much about you and the rest of the herd." I said politely, and yes, in the right context, I like to be polite when I meet people.

"You too. You know, Crash, the way she introduced herself reminds me of-" Eddie was cut off by Crash.

"Buck, I was thinking the same thing."

"Who?" I asked, still acting clueless.

"We'll tell ya when we get to the cave." Eddie assured me, gesturing for me to fallow.

After a while, I noticed my sense of smell was a lot better, well, duh, but still. I saw a lot of the characters from the movies, like the ant eaters, the shovlemouths, and fast Tony. It was also warmer than I had expected, probably because I had fur, also, duh. Some of the smaller rodents looked scared when we passed them.

"Ah, don't pay attention to those guys, they're just scared of weasels." Eddie explained, that helped. Crash smacked Eddie. "Ow, what?"

"Shut up!" Crash scolded.

"Hey, hey, hey, simmer down guys." I said, talking with my hands, so to speak, "And besides, I'm a vegetarian." The boys looked confused. I shrugged, "Would you rather I snack on you two?" I laughed.

"No, no, we get it you like what you like." Crash said, nervously.

I laughed again, snorting a bit this time. "You guys crack me up, I think I'm goanna like it here."

"I think you will too, that is, if Sid doesn't talk your ears off." Crash said with a laugh.

(Author's note: Okay, so how about that prologue? lol Soon I shall post the actual story for all of you to read! ^^
