*3rd Person P.O.V*

With every sun comes a new day. A new beginning. A hope that things will be better today than they were yesterday. Suddenly a group of cavemen scurry out of their cave like mice looking for food. Scared. Fast.

A group of cavemen are chased by beasts across the desert. They escape from creatures up trees. They hide behind rocks.

But not for me. My name's Y/n. This, is my adoptive family, the Croods. They took me in when I was little after my parts were killed when they decided to go exploring. If you weren't  clued in already by the animal skins and  sloping foreheads - we're cavemen. Most days we spend in our cave, in the dark. Night after night, day after day. Yep. Home sweet home. When we did go out, we struggled to find food in a harsh and hostile world. Eep and I struggled to survive our family.

The Croods and Y/n are chased by beasts across the desert. They escape from creatures up trees. They hide behind rocks.

We were the last ones around. There used to be neighbors. The Gorts, smashed by a mammoth. The Horks, swallowed by a sand snake. The Erfs, mosquito bite. Throgs, common cold. And, the Croods. That's us. The Croods made it...

Grug protects us from a giant bear owl.

Because of my adoptive Dad. He was strong... and he followed the rules.

  A shadow falls across their feet and Grug ushers them home.

...the ones painted on the cave walls. Anything new is bad, curiosity is bad, going out at night is bad. Basically, anything fun is bad. Welcome to my world.

  They all run back into the cave where Grug slams the rock door closed.

But this is a story about how all that changed in an instant.

Because what we didn't know, was that our world was about to come to an end. And there were no rules on our cave walls to prepare us for that.

Rapid shots of the great split cutting through the land. Headed towards Crood valley.

A huge caveman, Grug, rushes forward, screaming, growling, and throwing handfuls of dirt in a threat display. He blinks in the bright morning light. He lifts and hurls a large boulder.

The cave man lets out a yell, "Raaaaar grooooOOOOoooowwwll ERF ERF Glaaaaaabbbbllllllllthhhh!"

As suddenly as he began, Grug stops. Panting, he waits for the echoes of his outburst to fade.

Grug turns to the cave entrance, he prepares to bellow a signal, but before any sound escapes his lips two cavemen, Eep and myself, burst from the cave.

Grug huffs in annoyance, "You're supposed to wait for my signal Eep. Y/n?"

Eep scares a pack of nearby Liyotes away, pulling Y/n up after her. They pounce on Grug briefly before scampering off. Eep spreads out on an overhanging rock while I sprawls out on the rock like a dog. they bask in the sun.

Eep groans, "We've been in that cave forever."

Greg tries to reason with her, "Three days is not forever."

Y/n groaned "It is with this family."

Greg starts to get even more annoyed, "Would you two come down here? You're being so dramatic."
