Summer pov.
"Then where's your big happy family?", questioned the small bird. Then Manny's frown fell to sadness because what the bird just asked him reminded him of when he lost his wife and son in a human attack. I needed to do something so I stood up and nudged Diego, signaling him to stand up too.
"Then the hungry tigers ate the pesky little kids.", I threatened the kids and I and Diego jumped off the ice block and roared at the kids, causing them to run for their lives.
"You okay, buddy?", asked Diego as Manny now stood in front of us.
"Sure, why not?", joked Manny.
"I just thought you-", Diego started.
"Story time's over! The end.", snapped Manny.
"Okay, okay! Sheesh. No need to be so grouchy.", I said as two kids ran past us.
"Get out of the way! Run for your lives!", shouted the kids.
"Hey, hey, watch it!", complained Manny.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, where's everybody going?!", questioned Diego.
"The world's coming to an end!", stated one of the kids.
"Pardon?", I questioned.
"What are you talking about?", Manny asked.
"Fast Tony! He says the world's gonna flood!", stated the kid while panting.
Then the three of us started walking to that Fast Tony. As we neared the destination we heard a voice.
"Folks! I hold in my hands a device so powerful, it can actually, pull air right out of the sky!", Fast Tony stated.
He is lying.
"Ho-ho! Gather round! Gather round! Pardon me, do you have gills, ma'am? So you can't breathe underwater?", asked Fast Tony the female, and as I think she shook her head 'no'.
"Ah-ha. My assistant here will demonstrate.", said Fast Tony.
"Hey, I can smell the ocean.", says his assistant. By now we already saw Fast Tony and he had a pretty big crowd around him.
"D'oh!", complained Fast Tony as he took the stick from his assistant's nose. "What are you doing? I can't sell that now! You suck air through your mouth, you moron!" Fast Tony complained again and shoved the stick in the turtle's mouth and shoved his head in the water. "Through its essential design and sturdy construction, you'll have plenty of air for eons to come!" stated Tony as he let the turtle go and let him breathe. "Of course, results may vary.", Manny then yanked Tony by his trunk. "Hey!"
"Why are you scaring everybody with this doomsday stuff?", asked Manny. The Fast Tony laughs nervously and whispers "I'm trying to make a living here, pal.". He curls up, frees himself from Manny's trunk, and bounces over to a block of ice before uncurling and standing on it.
"It's all a part of my Accu-weather forecast. The five-day outlook is calling for intense flooding, followed by the end of the world!", exclaimed Tony, making everyone gasp. "But a slight chance of patchy sunshine, later in the week."
"Come on, don't listen to him. Fast Tony would sell his own mother for a grape.", Manny stated.
"Are you making an offer?", whispered Tony and quickly turned away from Manny. "I mean no, I would not!"
"Go ahead. Make a fool of yourself. Then maybe you will listen to your conscience.", I joked, causing Diego to chuckle as well.
"Haven't you all heard, cricket? The ice is melting.", asked a male.
