Orange and brown leaves flew down from the trees as a cool breeze made them swerve around. Autumn was here and everything was a beautiful orange, yellow and brown color and the sky was light grey

Scrat was hoping around and digging through the leaves, looking for his acorn he buried last month, but he had a hard time finding it. He scurried through the leaves, until he bumped into something. A pumpkin

He let out an irritated grunt and walked around it. Before he knew it, he spotted his acorn in an open field, where leaves were surrounding it in a warm blanket. Scrat smiled gleefully, until he felt something poking from behind and sent chills down his spine. Turning around, he saw a huge spider crawling into something

Turning around fully, the pumpkin had a large grin and piercing eyes staring into his soul. Scrat could swear he heard an evil cackle coming from the pumpkin

Screaming, he ran towards his acorn, picked it up and ran for it. The wind starting picking up speed and while the wind was blowing hard past some hollow trees, they made ghost sounds, frightening the squirrel even more

He eventually made it into the dense forest and froze into place, trying to calm down. But that had to end quickly when he heard something running towards him. Yelling, he hid under a bush and kept quiet

But it wasn't what he expected it to be. A human child, two saber cubs and a mammoth calf sprinted past him with laughter and squealing

Scrat groaned annoyed at the fact he got so worked up over some kids, but not before he fainted when a huge crow landed in front of the bush and spoke

"Hiya!"

The crow stared at the fainted squirrel in confusion and just scoffed

"Them people never appreciate my good intentions"

And then flew off into the dark forest
