Jacksons POV
It was early morning in the western part of Montana. For once, today was a very good siku because the breeze was perfect as well as the temperature. I was asleep with a smile on my face. This was because the breeze felt nice across my fur. I started to stir until I finally opened my eyes blinking to clear my vision. I looked and saw that no one was around. (Where is everybody?) I thought to myself. I looked mbele but turned around to see everyone with smiles on their faces.
"Happy birthday Jackson!" they all yelled.
I had a shocked look on my face. "What? How did wewe guys know today was my birthday?" I asked confused.
"Cooper told us awhile back before he got shot." Kate said.
I looked over at Cooper and saw that he was still knocked out from the dart. I walked over to him and put my mouth to his ear.
"Thank you." I whispered.
Then something surprised me when Cooper smiled right after I alisema that. I pulled back up and stood there looking at him. I then shook him a little.
"Cooper, are wewe pretending to be asleep?" I asked curiously.
He didn't wake up so I took that he was still knocked out. I turned around to see everyone looking at me with weird expressions.
"Why are wewe guys looking at me like that?" I asked feeling awkward.
"Why did wewe shake Cooper when he's out cold?" Lilly asked.
"Because I whispered thank wewe to him and he smiled so I thought he was playing a trick on me." I replied.
Everyone started to chuckle a little. "Nope he's still out cold from the dart. I think he'll be awake kwa tonight au when we get to Jasper." Humphrey alisema chuckling.
This made Kate smile. "So I say we get going now so then we can celebrate Jackson's birthday in Jasper." Kate suggested.
"Oh come on, can't we just take like 30 dakika off and celebrate a little." I pleaded.
Everyone then looked at Kate, staring at her. She thought for awhile on this decision until she finally cracked from the feeling of being awkward.
"Okay we'll stay here for 30 dakika but that's it." Kate alisema annoyed a little.
After that, we all began telling funny joking and stories and Kate even shared some jokes. This went on for the whole time and it just kept getting funnier. I even told some of my own. (A/N: sadly I do not know any funny jokes sorry).
After 30 dakika were up, Kate got up and started to head towards the entrance. "Okay 30 dakika are up, let's go." Kate alisema urging everyone to get going.
"Okay let's songesha out." I alisema happily.
I went over to Cooper and picked him up but sudden got a paw on my shoulder. I looked to see Kate standing inayofuata to me.
"Here, let me carry him. It's your birthday so wewe shouldn't have to do nothing. Let me carry him." Kate alisema happily.
"Oh well okay. Thank wewe Kate, this is really nice of you." I alisema happily.
"Well it's your birthday so wewe should have a siku to do whatever wewe want." Kate replied.
"Once again, thank you."
"You're welcome."
I shifted Cooper off of me and help Kate put him on her back. Once I helped her get Cooper on her back, I turned towards the entrance and saw Lilly carrying Humphrey.
"How long do wewe think it should be till your ribs heal?" I asked.
"Hmmmmm maybe about 2-3 weeks at most." Humphrey alisema guessing.
"Don't worry babe, I'll take care of wewe the whole time." Lilly alisema kissing Humphrey on the lips.
"Thanks sweetie." Humphrey alisema smiling.
I looked over at Kate and started to make a gagging face. When I did this, I kind of made a somewhat sad expression with it. This made her giggle a little but she detected sadness in this expression.
"What wrong Jackson?" Kate asked.
Everyone then started to stare at me with worried faces. "Why do wewe ask? There's nothing wrong I mean I'm okay." I said.
"Okay then, if wewe say so." Kate replied.
"Um come on, we should get going. This is the last siku right? So we should get going but I forgot one thing." I turned to Kate. "What happens if we don't get to Jasper in time?"
"Our two packs go to war and there will be many casualties." Kate replied.
"Yea I don't think any of us want that to happen so let's get rolling." I alisema giving the hand signal to get going.
We all exited the pango ready to get back to Jasper. Lilly carrying Humphrey and Kate carrying Cooper but me, I didn't have to do anything. At this moment I realized that these wolfs were my best Marafiki and the best Marafiki I've ever had. We continued to walk through the forest, trying to find the train tracks that led back to Jasper. Kate was the only one knowing where we were going but didn't have a good memory at remember. She told us it was this way and that way so she seemed like she knew where to go. We came to a small area in the forest that didn't have any trees within this area.
"Can we take a break? Carrying this load around is very tiring." Lilly asked.
"Sure, I'm a little tired from carrying Cooper so let's just take a break." Kate alisema a little tired.
They both set Humphrey and Cooper down on the ground to rest. "By the way, I'm not a heavy load." Humphrey alisema chuckling.
"I know sweetie I was just kidding." Lilly replied giggling.
I was lying down, alone as Lilly was with Humphrey and Kate was with Cooper. Kate looked over at me and notice that I had somewhat of a sad face. She got up and walked over to me with a worried face. She then sat down inayofuata to me trying to comfort me.
"Jackson, what's wrong?" Kate asked worried.
"Can we talk somewhere else?" I asked.
Kate nodded and we both got up. We headed into the forest but didn't go far until we stopped where they couldn't see us.
"Okay so what's going on Jackson? wewe seem all sad." Kate said.
"Well I've seen wewe and Cooper getting along well and I guess I'm just jealous. I mean I've had girlfriends in the past but they really didn't last long. I have actually been wanting a long relationship with someone that actually likes me. I just wish someone would like me just like wewe like Cooper." I alisema sadly.
"Hey just wait I'm sure there is someone out there for you. I mean look at Humphrey and Lilly. They are having a great time because they have a lot in common. Just wait and find someone your willing to be Marafiki with and wait to see where it goes from there." Kate alisema trying to make me feel better.
"I guess that's a good idea. kwa the way wewe never told me, why are wewe and Cooper aren't dating?" I asked.
"Well that night, I and Cooper had a dream but we were inside each other's dreams. We met a mbwa mwitu and she alisema that she was the ghost of love. She told us about how I liked him too fast and that we should stay Marafiki for a week and then see if we still want to date. If we didn't wait that long then she would come back again." Kate replied.
"Dang how many zaidi days do wewe have till wewe guys make your decisions?" I asked.
"5 days." Kate replied.
"Do wewe guys think you'll get back together after the week?"
"I hope so I mean we both have feelings for each other but we have to get to know each other first."
"Well I hope wewe two get back together." I said.
"Thank you." Kate said.
"Come on let's get back to the others. Their probably wondering where we are." I said.
"Alright let's go and head back to Jasper." Kate confidently.
Kate and I walked back to the site where they were waiting. We got to the site and our jaws dropped at what we saw. Humphrey was on the ground, laying on his back with Lilly on juu him. Lilly was down at his wolfhood licking him furiously. Kate and I looked at each other with our eyes wide open. We walked into the clearing and sat down.
"Having fun there wewe two?" I alisema laughing on the ground.
Lilly and Humphrey looked at us embarrassed zaidi than anything in the world. They both got up as quickly as possible.
"Looks l-like wewe t-two had a lot of f-fun when we were gone." Kate alisema laughing so hard she could barely breathe.
Lilly and Humphrey just stood there not saying anything. They were so embarrassed that their fur, manyoya started to turn red on their cheeks.
"Can we just get going! Let's find that train and get back to Jasper." Lilly alisema very annoyed from us laughing.
After we heard Lilly, we instantly stopped laughing afraid she was going to attack us. Kate got up and went over to Cooper body and picked him up.
"Okay let's getting going now." Lilly said.
After she alisema that, we started to walk again trying to find that's stupid train. It was sun set at this time so I instantly knew that if we didn't get back in time then their packs would start their war. We continued to walk until I heard something no one else did. I stopped dead in my tracks to listen closely.
"Guys stop, I hear something... Do wewe hear it?" I asked trying to listen.
They all stopped and started to listen closely. "It's the train!" Kate yelled.
We all instantly started to sprint to the train so we wouldn't miss it. We got there just in time to see an open train car. We ran along the side until we got to the point of where we could jump in. We all got inayofuata to the open car and one kwa one we all jumped in. Lilly was able to get in with her carrying Humphrey. Kate was also able too with Cooper. I was the last one to jump in. Everyone else jumped in and left me to go last. I got inayofuata to the train car and could see everyone standing there telling me to jump. I finally jumped into the train car... but put too much power into it and instantly landed against the way. I flew into the juu half of the wall, which hurt because the whole thing was metal. I dropped onto the floor of the car but it didn't hurt. As I hit the floor, I didn't feel any pain...
It was a hard landing but a soft landing...
