Chapter 1: We are one

Jojo and the pack decide a fun filled day at the beach, each of them have a matching swimming trunks that matches their fur. Aaron and Pam are playing in the sand while the guys are playing beach football. Everyone is having a great time at the beach, no worries, no concerns no nothing. Mana's hair along with Jojo's is flat pressing against their foreheads, from the salt water. Jojo and Mana are at eye level. Jojo calls out.

"Down…set…hike" Cody passes Jojo the football who then runs back a few steps before tossing down the beach, only to be caught by Koa who makes a touchdown and does a little victory dance by doing a back flip and landing on all fours before tilting his head back and howling. Jojo's team cheers but Mana has other ideas on his mind as he sneaks up to Jojo and tackles him to the ground lying between the legs of the smaller who beneath him.

"Mana we already made the play" Jojo says blushing

"Yeah but I get the extra point" Mana says kissing Jojo on the lips his hand on the side of Jojo's face. They share a passionate kiss for a while which is interrupted suddenly when Mana hears something.

"Come and get it you guys, the food is ready" Sally calls out.

Mana picks Jojo up from the sand and tosses him over his shoulder running over to where Jojo's parents are. Mana puts Jojo down as he picks up a paper plate sticking his tongue out. Everyone else runs up behind them picking up a paper plate.

"Figures Mana would be first" Mike says laughing a little.

"What do you expect, when it comes to food Mana is always first, pretty much anyway" Koa says rolling his eyes.

"Well it doesn't matter Mana won't eat it all will you Mana" Pam says laying her chin on Aaron's shoulder.

"I promise I won't" Mana says smiling and sticking his tongue back out.

"Put your tongue away before I bite it" Jojo says clamping his teeth together, which makes Mana put his tongue away and frowns.

"I was just joking" Jojo says smiling.

The friends all sit down as they begin to eat their burgers and hot dogs, Mana being the first one done gets up and goes to the cooler grabbing juice boxes for everyone. Jojo and the pack thank Mana as Mana sits down behind Jojo which makes Jojo lean back into Mana looking down at the beach. Jojo then get's an idea as he gets up from Mana and walks over to his mom and whispers something into her ear.

Sally nods thinking that it would be a wonderful idea as she walks over to the car and hops in driving off down the road to a nearby store. Jojo walks back to the pack and takes a seat between Mana's legs again, a smile on his face.

"Jojo what's with the smile? What did you ask your mom?" Cody asks finishing his juice box crushing it in his hands.

"I asked my mom if it would be cool with her to let us sleep over night here at the beach and she said it would be fine so she went to go grab some stuff to make smore's" Jojo says rubbing his thumbs on Mana's knees.

"You like staying out after dark huh Jojo" Mike says looking over at Jojo, who simply nods and smiles.

Finally Sally comes back with two bags of stuff to make the snacks, she hands the bags over to Koa who places them on the ground and waves good-bye to Jojo's Mom, everyone else does the same as they wave goodbye to Jojo's mother, but Ned on the other hand is very worried.

"Um Jojo I don't think it would be a good idea for you to sleep out here on the beach"

"But dad I won't be alone, I got my pack" And if on instinct when Jojo said that Mana wraps his arms around his boyfriend while everyone else just lays their hands on him. Ned feeling more comfortable and confident agrees to let them sleep on the beach as he waves farewell too.

The sun begins to set as Koa grabs some wood and tosses it into a nearby fire barrel. Mana begins to spray some fluid into the barrel so that the wood will be able to light, with Aaron lighting a match and tossing it into the barrel. Everyone then grabs a mallow and begins to roast it over the fire. After feeling stuffed and full they all make their way down towards the beach and sit on the sand.

Sitting in the dark they could hear the winds howl, and the waves crashing against the sand. Mana sitting between Jojo's legs this time leans his head back against Jojo's chest listening to his heart beat. Jojo feeling like this is the perfect time to sing a song begins to start it off.

Jojo: As you go through life you'll see

There is so much that we

Don't understand

Mana then begins to sing the next verse of the song while rubbing his cheek into the fur of Jojo.

Mana: And the only thing we know

Is things don't always go

The way we planned

Koa and the rest of the pack not wanting to be left out begins to sign along to.

Koa and Marcus: But you'll see every day

That we'll never turn away

When it seems all your dreams come undone

Mike and Cody: We will stand by your side

Filled with hope and filled with pride

We are more than we are

We are one

To everyone's shock Pam begins to sing to, Hearing this Makes Aaron smile

Pam: If there's so much I must be

Can I still just be me

The way I am?

Aaron: Can I trust in my own heart

Or am I just one part

Of some big plan?

Everyone: Even those who are gone

Are with us as we go on

Your journey has only begun

Tears of pain, tears of joy

One thing nothing can destroy

Is our pride, deep inside

We are one

We are one, you and I

We are like the earth and sky

One family under the sun

All the wisdom to lead

All the courage that you need

You will find when you see

We are one

Everyone begins to fall asleep but before Mana falls asleep Jojo whispers into his ear 'we are one' before kissing his cheek and laying back Mana still in Jojo's loving embrace smiles before closing his eyes.
