Basically this starts just as Alice goes off to release the Giraffe. The quote's from the episode's might not be 100% right but you get the idea. Also it's wrote in the character's Point of view so I hope it doesn't get too confusing but hopefully it will get across how Danny & Alice are both feeling. So read on. This is my first fan fiction so not sure how long it will be but tell me what you think… Thank You.

However much I wish I do not own Wild At Heart or any of the characters.

Chapter One-Alice's Giraffe.

Alice's POV

Danny kissed Vanessa, I guess I was right. I knew all along there was something between Danny and Vanessa but what about all we shared. We almost kissed when Dupe left, he thanked me for coming to leopard's den, what was all that if he didn't have feelings for me. Maybe he did to start with, but Vanessa was always there getting between us. He may have loved me at some point, but I was too much of a coward, too slow she sunk her claws into him she made sure of that. My eye's starting to fill with tears at this point, it's my fault we aren't together, and I ruined my chance, our chance to be happy together.

Suddenly I heard a huge clash of thunder! Guess Dupe was right about this storm, it was going to be a bad one, we would all have a lot of work to do once it had passed, that's if I stay of course, I can't stay here with Danny, not with the pain it caused

me to see him happy with Vanessa.

With that a thought came to my head. My Giraffe, I need to release him, he'll panic in the storm. "Dupe can you help me release the Giraffe?"

"Do you think it wise for anyone to go out in this" Georgina interrupted.
"If he panics in this storm he could hurt himself" I argued back. Then Danny interrupted. This was the one thing I was dreading "I'll help you" This is the last thing I needed to be alone with him when he was in love with Vanessa it broke my heart. I took a while to reply I tried to think of an excuse why he shouldn't come the best I could manage was "It's okay, me and Dupe can manage" I said looking at Dupe and praying that he would agree. But of course Dupe being Dupe said "I shouldn't, I've had a few too many" he said shaking his glass of whatever he drinks these days.

"That's settled then" Danny said sharply. I wasn't forcing him to come I didn't want him to come I gave Dupe an evil look; he was doing this on purpose I could tell. Did he want to hurt me anymore or did he think we were going to get together in the storm that was impossible he's with Vanessa now.

Danny's POV

I like Vanessa but I can't be with her, I kissed her. No, she kissed me. I don't love Vanessa I love Alice. If I loved Vanessa I would have been thinking about her during our kiss but the only person I could think about was Alice. I Love her that's so simple. Why can't she see that? We almost kissed didn't we, maybe she doesn't feel the same way I should have just kissed her and forgot about Vanessa but I'm too much of a coward as usual!

Dupe was right about the storm, I wonder what else he's right about... with that thought there was a huge clash of thunder. Alice was asking Dupe about helping with the Giraffe. God I love her voice, her eye's, her figure, everything about her I love, she is just perfect. She has little make-up she's so beautiful. Dupe was refusing to go with her I saw him give me a strange look I couldn't quite put a finger on what it was though. "I'll help you"

"It's ok, Dupe and I can manage" She replied. Dupe said something about having too much to drink. "That's settled then" I said rather grumpily, she obviously doesn't love me if she did she would have loved me to come with her.

Alice's POV

I can't believe Dupe's put me in this situation. I've been finding it more awkward since he kissed Vanessa to be in close proximity with him. I had to cope for now though. In the car I suddenly explained about my dad dying, I don't know what made me start it, It just felt like something I needed to do. A problem shared is a problem halved right?

"You know the news my brother had? It was my father he… he died last week" With that statement Danny pulled up he was so caring, what I would give to be with him. "Oh Alice, I'm sorry"

"My father and I never really saw eye to eye, It's complicated" I tried to explain with much difficulty, my life was very complicated.

"Do you want to talk about it" I love how caring he is…

"No, later maybe, let's just see to our Giraffe"

With that Danny agreed and drove on to see to the Giraffe. I feel I am able to talk to Danny it just makes me feel like it isn't as bad any more, I wish I could just tell him how I feel about him, but I'm far too much of a coward to do that.

Danny's POV

Why didn't Alice tell me about her Dad, she must be so upset. She say's that she had a difficult relationship with him but he's her Dad, she wouldn't have wanted him dead. Anyway we need to deal with this Giraffe right now I can talk about it with her later.

The giraffe was still there but the enclosure had been forced open, he must be injured. "I need to dart him" I darted the animal, then we treated its leg which had been caught in some wire. It was chucking it down with rain, we were soaked. That's another thing me and Alice have in common we both love animals so much we would give up our own life to save one. We treated the Giraffe and returned to the jeep. We pulled the waterproof cover over us, to keep us dry.

"Nice night for it" I said trying to get a conversation going, Alice seemed a bit distant, I wonder if it was because of her Dad.

First Chapter, it was a bit naff and very short but my first Fan Fiction so please review. Constructive Criticism's very welcome. Thank You…
