Scene 4:

(After leaving the territory, the group starts to get to work. Stinky is sniffing the air.)
Humphrey: Well, Stinky. What do wewe smell?
Stinky: You, but younger and less mature.
(Humphrey laughs nervously)
Humphrey: Yep, that's definitely me.
Kate: Anything else, Stinky?
Stinky: Hold on.
(Stinky sniffs the air again, then sniffs down towards the ground.)
Stinky: There's a trail. It's faint, but it's there. It's leading deeper into the forest.
Runt: Well, let's go see where it leads.
Claudette: Yeah Stinky, lead the way.
Stinky: Okay, follow me.
(They begin to slowly head into the woods, with Stinky stopping every once in a while to pick up the scent again.)
(The group walks for most of the day, occasionally resting. It's early evening and they're looking for a place to sleep for the night when Stinky suddenly stops.)
Humphrey: Stinky, what is it?
Stinky: I smell something strange.
Kate: Like what?
Stinky: I don't know. It smells like a pack of wolves, on the other side of that hill. But it also smells kinda like Dad.
Garth: But how?
Kate: Yeah, as far as I know he was on his own since he Lost his parents.
Runt: I'll go take a look.
(Runt starts heading toward a tree)
Humphrey: Runt, don't even think about it.
Runt: But Dad.
Marcel: We'll go see what it is.
(Marcel and Paddy fly into the air and look over the hill. As they begin to see over the juu of the hill, they see a rotten tree, and sure enough, just beyond the mti they can just make out the shape of several mbwa mwitu dens hidden in the trees. They head back down to the ground)
Lilly: Well guys?
Paddy: That kilima offers quite the view.
Marcel: Yes it does, Paddy.
Paddy: A shame that there's trees in the way. It would make for quite the smashing golf course, wouldn't wewe say, sir?
Marcel: Indeed it would, Paddy.
Humphrey: Guys! Let's focus, please. What did wewe see?
Marcel: Oh, yes. Right. Well,
Paddy: We couldn't be sure, but it looks like there are several dens down there. Quite a big pack I'd wager.
Humphrey: Come on, let's go.
Garth: Are wewe crazy?
Humphrey: Does anyone ever say "yes" to that question?
(Humphrey begins to walk up the kilima and soon the others start following him, seeing as how there's no changing his mind.)
(Once they reach the top, they stop and look down the other side.)
Kate: I see them.
Lilly: Wow.
Garth: That is a lot of dens.
(Humphrey looks down and sees the rotten tree. He gets a stunned look on his face as he starts to have more, unclear flashbacks and he starts to remember even zaidi of his puphood. Kate looks over and recognizes the face from the siku before)
Kate: Humphrey?
Humphrey: That tree.
(Without another word, he runs down into the forest towards the rotten tree.)
Kate: Humphrey, wait!
(Kate runs after him and the other follow)
(Humphrey stops at the mti and looks hard at it)
(Kate comes running up behind him)
Kate (panting): Humphrey. Why'd wewe run off like that?
Humphrey: I remember this place. I've been here before, a long time ago, after I Lost my parents.
Kate: How did wewe remember this place. How'd wewe recognize it?
Humphrey: The tree.
Kate: The tree?
Humphrey: Last time I was here, this mti almost crushed me. It was dark and stormy. I was looking for shelter from this terrible thunderstorm when a bolt of lightning came out of nowhere and hit the tree. I barely got out of the way, but not before it landed on my tail. I was stuck there all night, until
Daria: Quiet. I hear something.
Lilly: What is it?
Daria: It sounds like,
(A mbwa mwitu appears through the trees but his face can't be seen through the dim light caused kwa a wingu obscuring the sun)
Unknown Wolf: hujambo there! Who are you?
Kate: Humphrey, we should go.
Humphrey: Wait.
Unknown Wolf: What are wewe doing out here?
Kate: Humphrey, we really need to go.
Humphrey: Something about him seems familiar.
Unknown Wolf: We don't welcome strangers into our pack. The last time we did, he nearly killed my son.
(Humphrey suddenly looks up, his eyes wide open)
Humphrey: Oh my gosh. It can't be.
Unknown Wolf: Return to your own pack before one of wewe gets hurt.
Kate: Try it and see what happens.
Humphrey: Kate, wait.
(Humphrey starts to slowly walk towards the wolf)
Unknown Wolf: Stop right there. Don't take another step au it'll be the last step wewe ever take.
Kate: Pups, get behind me.
(Kate and Garth start to slowly advance towards the mbwa mwitu and are growling as they do so)
Humphrey: Owen?
Unknown Wolf/Owen: Who are you? How do wewe know my name?
(Humphrey steps closer to Owen, who is now snarling viciously at him. The wingu moves out of the way and light shines on Owen's face, letting him and Humphrey to see each other zaidi clearly)
Owen: Humphrey? I thought I was rid of you.
Kate: Wait, wewe know each other?
Owen: Who's that?
Humphrey: That's my wife, Kate.
Owen: wewe married an alpha? Are wewe insane?
Runt: wewe have no idea.
Owen: wewe don't know the half of it, kid. I take it these are your pups?
(The pups come out from behind Kate)
Claudette: Why? What happened?
Owen: Come into our territory and I'll tell wewe all about it.
(Everyone begins to head past Owen who is standing still)
Owen (as Humphrey is passing him): You're lucky I'm in a good mood today, kid. After what wewe did to Kyle-
(he doesn't get the chance to finish before Kate snaps at him in Humphrey's defense)
(Owen leads them into the forest and soon, they begin to make out even zaidi dens through the trees. As they walk through, Mbwa mwitu loups from the pack look at them from a distance, wondering why strangers were walking through their territory. They notice one pango that's in the middle of a small clearing that is significantly larger than the others. This seemed to be Owen's den. And just off to the side of it, is another den, equal in size, but much newer.)
(As Owen lead them towards the opening, his wife comes out and immediately sees the group following him.)
Owen: Where's Kyle?
Amy: He's off on a hunt with Grace. Who are they?
(Owen turns to look at the group behind him, then turns back to his wife.)
Owen: wewe remember Humphrey, don't you?
Amy: Of course. Why did wewe bring him in here? I thought we agreed to never let him within 100 feet of our pack ever again. And who are they?
Owen: His family.
Amy: He married an alpha?!
Owen: That was my first thought, too. They need a place to stay for the night.
Amy: Fine. wewe can use Kyle's den, he shouldn't be back until late tomorrow afternoon.
(She motions towards the newer pango inayofuata to theirs.)
Humphrey: Thank you.
(They walk past Owen and Amy towards Kyle's den. Kate and Amy exchange dirty looks.)
Runt: Wow. This is the largest pango I've ever been in.
(Kate and Humphrey are laying together on the far side of the den, talking.)
Kate: What is it between wewe Owen? What happened?
Humphrey: wewe know how I was talking about me getting stuck under the mti in that storm?
Kate: Yeah.
Humphrey: Well, I was there all night, and most of the inayofuata siku when I saw another mbwa mwitu pup come running out of the woods. I yelled at him for help and he stopped. alisema his name was Kyle, and that his dad was the leader of their pack. I asked him where exactly his pack was and if he could maybe go get his dad to help me. He told me that they were just beyond the mti line and that he would be back soon.
(Kate listens intently.)
Humphrey: About ten dakika later, he came back with his dad and a few other male alphas and eventually the got the mti off of my tail. I was hurt, starving, and thirsty so, they took me in.
Kate: But what happened that got wewe thrown out?
Stinky: Could wewe guys be a little quieter?
Humphrey: Look Kate, it's getting late and we should probably get to sleep.
(They laid their heads down and as Kate and everyone else went off to sleep, Humphrey lay awake, thinking about Kate's question, and the terrible answer that accompanied it.)
