Introduction

The scene happen just after Kate and Garth left for the Moonlight Howl, leaving Humphrey and Lilly alone. Lilly was coming back to her home when Humphrey asked her:

"Lilly, do I look like a coyote?"

"What?" Lilly asked, not understanding his question right at the moment.

"I asked do I look like a coyote?"

She sighed and rolled her eyes, before turning around to face him.

"You don't look like a coyote Humphrey. Kate just wanted you to go away. She never thought what she said." She answered him.

"Oh... like a joke, right?"

"Yes, it's exactly that! Ya know, if she is dating Garth, it's only because of her responsibilities. Plus, you know that alpha and omega-"

"Can't howl together, I know. It's just... I feel so close to her." Humphrey said.

"Don't speak about that." Lilly said lowering her head.

"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. You don't have a boyfriend yet. But, hey, Lilly!"

He approached and raised her head with his right paw.

"I'm sure you will find someone. You're a great girl, you're fun, you're pretty, you're smarter than you look like... I'm sure someone will notice you one day."

Lilly blushed slightly under her fur from all the compliments Humphrey just told.

"Thanks Humphrey. You're a nice wolf too." She replied shyly.

They looked at each other in the eyes, and then they looked away, blushing madly.

"Whoa, what am I thinking? Humphrey is the friend of my sister, and I flirt with him. But what happen in my mind." Lilly thought.

"Even if I love Kate, her sister is still a pretty girl, and it's nice to be with her too." Humphrey thought.

Humphrey sighed deeply and watched at her again, she did the same and he sat in front of her, starring at her white fur which was shining in the moonlight.

"You have a beautiful fur Lilly." He said.

And right after that, a dart was shot right into Lilly's butt.

"WHOUAA!" She yelled with a start, making a jump and almost landing on Humphrey with her snout pressing right on his.

Humphrey, surprised by this, asked:

"Lilly, are you alright?"

"Uhm, I... I don't know. I..."

She looked at Humphrey and saw his face all funny. Her mind went off and she couldn't control herself.

"Humph, you look cute there."

Even more surprised by her behavior, Humphrey asked:

"Are you sure you're alright Lilly?"

"I'm great." She said walking toward him and sliding herself under his chin. "I'm great like the moon tonight."

"Lilly, stop joking, what are you doing?" He said embarrassed, turning toward her.

And at that moment, another dart landed in his butt.

"WHA... HEY! Ouch, again in the butt. Those stupid skinners can't let it in peace." He said turning on himself.

And then he became all woozy too and followed Lilly.

"Hey! Lilly, where are you going without me?" He asked.

"*Giggles* Come here and find out by yourself handsooommme!" Lilly replied, falling on the grass.

"Ooh, I'm coming riiiight nowwww."

And Humphrey fell just next her. They were both asleep. It's there the relocation's team came out of the bushes and put the two sleeping wolves in metal boxes.

At the moonlight howl, Kate was coming down of the big rock after Garth's nightmarish howl. She went under a fallen tree and watched where Garth was.

"What did I done to have to marry someone who doesn't know how to howl?" She thought. "It's maybe my punishment for pulling Humphrey away like I did. I hope he will forgive me about that. Humphrey was always a great friend for me, he was always there to comfort me when I needed it. I really hope he will forgive me. He is surely the only wolf who fully understand me."

She sighed deeply.

"Well, Garth must wait now. Maybe I can make some true howl come out of him. I'm sure Lilly is luckier than me at that time."

Then Kate made her way back to where Garth was standing. She arrived in front of him.

"Kate, you're back. I was beginning to worry for you." Garth said.

"Yeah." She said sadly.

"What happens Kate?" He asked.

"I was just thinking about my sister. I'm worried for her, she is always alone, and I heard some other wolf bully her."

"Oh, yeah, it's important. Family before everything. If you need someone to protect your sister, I know some strong guys from my pack-"

"No thanks Garth. I think we should head home now, it's beginning to be late, and I want to be up early tomorrow to train my hunt skills."

"Oh, okay. So... maybe we will see each other tomorrow." Garth said then.

"Yeah, maybe tomorrow. Good night Garth." Kate said running away.

Garth sighed, watching her go away.

"I knew she wouldn't like me. My howl is so frightful.*sigh* I feel so lonely." He thought then.

After some hours trying to howl right, Garth gave up and went back to his pack for the night.
