Heaven on Earth
"Run!" yelled Roxton, as the huge Tyrannosaurus chased him and Marguerite through the jungle. "You don't have to tell me twice! I'm right behind you!" Marguerite answered as she hurried along behind him.
They had been out scouting the area on the Southern side of the plateau all morning and had unfortunately stumbled upon the gigantic lizard. Veronica, Malone and Challenger had gone to gather food for the day while Marguerite and Roxton had gone off on their own, so the others were nowhere near them to help.
"Why don't you shoot it?" Marguerite screamed. "I'm out of ammunition, so just keep running. I think I see a cave or something up ahead." Roxton answered.
They reached the cave and ran inside, with the T-Rex following close behind. They moved to the back of the cave to get away from the snapping jaws and Roxton began looking around for something.
"What are you looking for?" Marguerite asked. "Firewood. It looks like we might be here for awhile and it's beginning to get dark outside." He answered. "Do you think the others will come looking for us?" she asked. "No, they probably think we got caught in a storm or something like that. I have some food in my pack, we can share it if you like." Roxton said. "Well, I guess we'll just have dinner for two then." She commented. "I would like that very much. It's been a long time since I was alone with you." Roxton said. "Why Lord Roxton, I do believe that you are trying to flatter me." Marguerite smiled seductively. "Of course not. I just think that after rescuing a beautiful damsel, I should get a reward for my services." He chuckled.
Boldly walking up to him, she stroked his face gently saying, "And what does the hero desire?" "Hhhmmmm. I desire you." He answered simply. "Well, I cannot begrudge something that my hero wants." She said.
Marguerite then kissed Roxton as he slowly wrapped his arms around her.
The next morning at sunrise, they both woke to find that the T-Rex had gotten tired of playing the waiting game and had left them alone. As they cleaned up their fire site, Marguerite said to Roxton, "Should we tell the others about this secret cave?"
"No, let's keep it for ourselves. We should probably be getting back though or they'll start to look for us" He answered. "Alright, but first." She said as she walked up to him and kissed him again. "Now Marguerite, well maybe a little." He said as he kissed her back. "Marguerite! Roxton! Are you in there?" they could hear Veronica call into the mouth of the cave. "I told you they would come looking for us, come on let's go before they come in and get us." Roxton said, smiling triumphantly. "Oh all right." Marguerite answered, following him out of the cave. "Ah there you are, we were beginning to get concerned." Challenger said. "Where were you all night?" Veronica asked. "A T-Rex chased us and we hid in the cave overnight and beat him at his own game." Marguerite answered. "Well, as long as you're both unhurt. Let's get back to the treehouse, I'm hungry." Malone said.
They walked back to the treehouse and ate lunch in peace without any other interruptions from any creatures.
