DS (Day Shot) This is a very sweet and mostly lovely story between Shira and Diego, including very intimate moments and much more things between them. (Things about their past; funny conversations/games; sexual topics; etc.) Story is set directly after the herd arrived on the island.

The first chapter will be about the "Morning" of "The perfect day", the second about the "Midday", the third about the "Evening" and the fourth about the "Night". I will upload one chapter every third day.

The perfect day

"Precious! Precious?! Precious where are you? Mama has some tasty foods for you. Come here little boy!", Granny shouted for her pet whale while carrying some fruits in her hands. She was walking through the woods since the sun started to rise, like every time ignoring that most of the animals were still asleep and tiered of the last day. After the herd arrived on the new island, everybody tried to find a new home while exploring the rest of the island which was quiet an exhausting job.

Granny still called out for Precious while throwing an apple with her left hand up into the air and catching it some moments later with the same hand again. The whole thing already became a daily routine. Granny always wakes up at first, terrorizing everybody mentally around her, when she calls for Precious.

At the moment, the herd settled down in a small camp in the middle of the island before they will start exploring the other half of the island. The animals arrived late in the evening of the last day and they barely managed build up some small things for their camp. Manny was sleeping together with Ellie and their daughter under a small hut, build of branches, but without a roof on top. Luis was sleeping on Peaches trunk and smiled softly in his peaceful sleep. Sid secretly cuddled up next to Manny during the night, enjoying the warmth during the cold nights and the possum brothers were booth hanging from a small branch next to the hut.

Diego and Shira also had a great time together and were enjoying each second they could spend together. For the herd it was quite obviously that they really like each other, maybe even more but neither Diego nor Shira ever spoke out something like that. Neither to each other nor to the herd. Well, they are sabers … proud of their strength and not of their big hearts.

After they did a short walk last night, they booth laid down too, some meters away from the others. Diego was lying behind Shira, keeping her warm and holding her chest tight with his right paw in his sleep. Booth had a small smile on their lips, recalling the moments of the previous day, they had together. Silent surrounded the two peaceful sleeping sabres, booth listening to the soft breaths of each other during the night. It seemed that this moment would last for ever. Well at least until a certain sloth walked next to them.

"Hey, Lady! Wake up! Have you seen Precious?", Granny shouted and hit Diego on his head with her walking stick twice. Diego blinked a few times through his sleepy eyes, letting out a small moan and recognised, that Granny woke him up from his beauty sleep. AGAIN. Annoyed of her presence, Diego closed his eyes again, resting his head on Shira´s shoulder and trying to fall asleep again.

"Hey, I´m talking to you, stupid!", Granny said, hitting his head again. Diego let out again a small mumble but stayed calm, hoping that she would just walk away before she would wake up Shira too.

"And what do you think you´re doing here?", Granny asked as she looked at Shira, tightly held by Diego during his fake sleep.

"Oh, how sweet. Is Lady still afraid of the scary night and needs a stuffed animal during it´s dark?", Granny teased Diego. Granny's words needed some moments to penetrate to Diego´s mind and immediately after they did, he impetuous released Shira from his grip and stand up. These word were hitting his pride definitely too much. Shira let out a small, sleepy moan, when she felt the cold morning air streaming down her back. Diego gave Granny a short, annoyed glare and held his head down to Shira´s ear. Carefully he nipped the tip of Shira´s right ear, earning a small purr from her. He repeated this action for a few times until he was sure she was awake. In the meantime, Granny started to chew on her apple, failing like always without her teeth.

"C´mon Sleepy, time to stand up.", Diego carefully whispered close to Shira´s ear. He really wanted to get somewhere else on the island, enjoying the rest of the morning without an old and mostly loudly sloth around him and Shira. Shira´s eyes blinked open and she let out a big yawn, tasting the fresh air of the new day.

"Diego? … mmhhh … just one more minute please, ok?", Shira moaned and lied her head on Diego´s paws, who was now standing in front of her. Diego was about to talk to Shira again but was interrupted by the old-lady sloth.

"Hey, Lady. Chew this for me!", Granny said to Diego with her typical old, demanding voice and held her apple full with slobber in front of Diego´s face. It looked like Granny had already forgotten the comment she said about Diego and his "stuffed animal", but he didn´t want to challenge his luck. Maybe Shira would it hear the next time and that would definitely destroy the last pride he had left.

"Ähhh, Granny. Nothing against your eating habits but I think in your age you shouldn´t eat such hard things.", Diego stopped for a short while, thinking how he could continue his pretext.

"And I think it´s better when I and Shira will get you some softer fruits, am I right … Kitty?", Diego asked and looked expectant at Shira. He wanted to see if his little trick will work out. And of course it did. The once peaceful sleeping sabress immediately raised up in the air, pinning Diego down right next to Granny.

"Don´t … call … me … kitty! Never!", Shira tried to look angry and upset but after everything they went through together, she simply couldn´t be angry on such a handsome sabre. After some moments of evilly fake-glaring at Diego, a big smile spread across her and Diego´s face. She gave Diego a small lick on his nose and let him stand up. Diego, surprised of her sudden sweet treatment, blushed a bit under his fur and walked up next to Shira. Granny made a face, as if she would vomit every moment but Diego and Shira ignored it. Diego nudged Shira´s shoulder and started to leave in a random direction of the wood.

"Hey, you are coming?", Diego asked back to Shira who was still standing next to Granny. Granny held Shira with her stick close to her face and said some words to her which Diego couldn´t understand. When Granny finished, Shira quickly nodded with a smile on her face and ran next to the waiting Diego.

"Have I to understand this?", Diego asked with a questioning look at Shira´s still smiling face. Shira looked back at his eyes, enjoying his helplessness.

"Well, I don´t think so.", Shira said with the biggest smile she ever had and ran past Diego, who looked at her confused. Finally he lost his rigidity and ran after Shira.

"Hey, wait for me! What had she told you?! Tell me!", Diego shouted at her while sprinting through the woods.

"And don´t forget my fruits!", Granny shouted at the two racing Sabers, which disappeared just at the moment in the wood, leaving a now quiet sloth back.

"Love … yuck.", Granny mumbled and walked back to the camp.

The race went on and it didn´t take Diego a long time to catch up to Shira. Well, at least she really wanted him to catch up with her. As soon he was running next to her, they started a small play-fight during their run. Shira bumped into Diego´s shoulder, who let out a playfully growl and bumped back into Shira´s shoulders. This went on and on, booth giggling and laughing the whole time during they ran through the area. Sometimes some sunbeams shined through the branches, getting reflected by Shira´s coat and dazzling Diego. But not in a hurtful way. He was dazzled by her beauty.

After 15 minutes of giggling, they suddenly stopped and booth became lost in the other´s eyes during their run. Shira stared into two olive-green eyes which were surrounded by beautiful, fluffy orange and white fur, perfectly matching to his orange back and white underbelly. Diego, on the other hand, stared at two deep blue orbs which looked like the ocean itself. Endless and mostly beautiful. They were part of a smaller, but more agile body than Diego`s, built for speed. Her streamlined body was covered with soft, white pelt with some black stripes on the back. Well, at least Diego stared a bit too long at her as he suddenly …

"Auwww!", Diego loudly moaned as he crashed directly into a tree with his head. Dazzled he stumbled some steps back, trying to focus on something which wasn´t blurred. No chance. Before he would lose his balance, he managed to seat on his haunches, holding his hurting head down. Suddenly a high pitched but lovely voice called him back to reality. Well, to be exact, it was laughing. Diego looked up, seeing a giggling Shira in front of him, giving him a lovely smile.

"Ohhh, got the little Diego hurt? Don´t worry, your stuffed animal is with you.", Shira said while trying not to laugh too much. The whole situation was simply too funny and the reaction of Diego made it even harder not to laugh. Diego´s eyes were open as wide as possible, starring at Shira in shock.

"You, … you have heard that?", he asked with an ashamed voice. Now he knew Granny, Granny the old stinky sloth, exposed him in front of Shira. Especially Shira. Diego felt the biggest blush he ever had and stopped facing Shira, looking ashamed away at another direction. Slowly Shira´s giggles became quiet and finally she got the control back of her body. Shira wasn´t sure if she didn´t went a bit too far with her teasing and walked up to Diego, giving him a small nuzzle on his shoulder. Once she finished, she laid her head on his shoulder, leaning her forehead against his neck.

"Of course I heard it, you silly boy. … But who says that I don´t like it to be your little stuffed animal?", Shira asked with a dreamy and very soft voice. Diego turned his head to the left side, facing Shira who had raised her head from his neck. Shira showed him the most regretting and lovely smile she had, compared with cute little baby eyes. In Diego´s ashamed face started to appear a small smile, slowly growing bigger and bigger.

"So, if you really don´t mind that you are my little stuffed animal, than I´m also sure, that you don´t mind if I do this!", Diego said and jumped on Shira, hugging her tight and tickling her with his paw on her underbelly. Booth shared loud laughs while they were rolling around on the floor, Diego still tickling Shira´s belly and chest.

"D-diego. Pp-lease s-stop. I´m r-really t-ticklish. S-stop t-hat.", Shira said between her breaths. She can´t remember the last time she had so much fun with someone of her kind. Their small game went on, spreading their fun in the still, cold forest.

Finally Diego stopped tickling her, now standing above Shira. Booth had a big smile on their faces while breathing heavily in and out. It was still early in the morning and booth let out heavy clouds of white steam.

"Hhhuuu, that was really … funny.", Shira said happily under Diego´s body, feeling his body warmth against her own body. Shira always loved this feeling and especially at night, when they sleep next to each other. She simply wished, that this feeling could last forever.

"Yeah, it really was.", Diego said excited of their little game and looked at Shira´s face for a few seconds, enjoying his view. Diego saw his whole life reflected in her two blue eyes, seeing a lonely saber travelling on an endless, boring journey. Well, until Shira joined his life, making it more interesting than ever. On one hand Diego really hated Gutt for trying to kill him and his herd, but on the other hand, without him he had never found this beautiful white angle, which was at the moment laying under his body, sharing with him a big smile. Some small water drops were running down Shira´s cold nose and Diego remembered the situation earlier in the morning. With a big lick across her nose, Diego wiped all the drops away, revealing Shira´s pink nose.

"Hey, for what was this?", Shira asked after she let out a small giggle, caused by Diego´s soft tongue.

"Well, now we´re even.", Diego answered grinning and could see in Shira´s face, how she remembered the little treatment she gave him earlier this morning. Again their words fell silent, vanishing between the rustle of the branches and leaving two, at each other staring, sabers. Diego knew that this would be the best moment for telling her how he really feels. No other animals around, no loud noises and especially no old sloth-ladies with an annoying grandson … also called Sid. Slowly Diego´s smile became to an unsure face with two hectically around looking eyes, trying to avoid looking at Shira

"So Shira, errr. I ähhh … There, there`s s-something I rr-really w-want to say you something.", Diego managed to bring out with a shaky voice. Normally, if Shira´s around him he always act soft like a small pussy cat but at the moment he was feeling hard like a hard, unbreakable stone. Diego began to breath slower, trying to calm himself down but it didn´t help even a bit.

"S-since I first saw you … I-I`ve always wondered if … if y-.", Diego´s words got stuck under his hard shell and Shira kept on staring at him with an expecting face. How much she wanted, that he would finish this little sentence, forgetting his pride just for one time. Diego started to panic a bit and was already about to went off of Shira but then she destroyed his hard shell with one single movement. With all her strength she moved her paws around his neck and pressed his lips against her own ones.

In the first moment of their kiss, Diego was sure that his heart stopped beating for a few seconds but finally he felt into a small trance. Completely flashed away and unable to move, thousands thoughts and questions were racing through his mind. What was happening at the moment? Does Shira really kiss him? And of course the most important question … why was this all happening?! There was just one possible answer … and this made Diego even happier. After a while, Diego completely stopped thinking about anything else than the kiss and gave his whole attention the special connection between him and Shira. Everything he wanted was to share his love with her for the end of their lifes, feeling her soft lips pressed against his and making Diego and Shira to the happiest sabers of the world. Just as Diego wanted to get deeper into kiss, Shira slowly pushed his face away, lying her eyes on his closed ones.

"Does this answer your little question, Softie?", Shira asked while holding a dreamy Diego in her paws. Slowly Diego´s eyes blinked open, looking at Shira, who gave him a loving smile.

"I t-think so.", Diego answered a bit shyly and repeated her smile with an even bigger one. He still simply couldn´t believe that his big love, no, that this beautiful white angle shares his love. During his whole life as a single saber, he never expected that something like that ever would happen … and of course not with someone like Shira. For Diego, her appearance was just a big miracle, sent by god itself to give him the last jigsaw of his life … to make it perfect.

"You have no idea how happy you make me with this.", Diego said while he stroked with his paws over Shira´s cheeks, enjoying her soft fur between his toes. Shira let out a small purr of sheer happiness and already leaned forward for another kiss, when she got disturbed by a loud grumble. Diego instantly got a small blush on his face and looked down his empty stomach.

"Oh, looks like someone is really hungry.", Shira said and let out a small giggle when she looked down at Diego´s stomach as well. Finally Diego got off of Shira and sat down next to her. Shira stand up too and gave Diego a big nuzzle all across his face, which was immediately followed by a soft purr from him. Slowly she let her fur brushing against his muzzle, beginning by her face and ending by her tail. Shira went some steps ahead and Diego was already again about to fall into a trance, when Shira made a small stop.

"Follow me. I think I know how we could solve this little problem.", Shira said with a soft voice and a light playfully undertone. Diego immediately followed her, watching her body from behind.

End of the morning
