This was a fun story to write, I must say. It was a general idea (Scrat force-fed and gassy) but as I was thinking it over, it came to me to do a sorta-maybe sequel to the Ice Age movies. Basically, it was a "what if:" What if aliens that resembled earth creatures went around the galaxy looking for creatures to adopt as children?

And boom, here's the result.
