Set in the few days leading up to Rosie and Max's departure for Cape Town :'( No baby in this one, it's all true to the real storyline.

"You won't be needing those!" Max laughed, he was tapping away at his laptop as Rosie finished her packing.

"What?" Rosie looked up

"Those" He repeated nodding towards the latest addition to the suitcase

"You do realise I'm training to be a vet; I am going to have to spend time with animals"

"Yeah but you won't be out in the bush"

"I might be" she insisted "or on a farm".

"Ok, well you definitely don't need two pairs!"

"What do you want me to do with them then Mr Sensible?"

"Leave them here" He smiled and she chucked the boots on the floor.

Voices were coming from outside. Du Plessis was trying to keep up with Danny as he walked towards Rosie and Max's hut*.

"You can't expect me to trek through the bush all day long looking for traces of a leopard when you can just-"

Danny interrupted "I didn't say that! We just need to know if we've got one at Leopards Den and you've got the time and ability to go out and do it"

"I've got the time? What makes you think I've got the time Trevanion?"

"Look let's just discuss this later, Rosie!" He called out "I need you"

"What, now?" Rosie turned to see her father at the door.

"Yep" He replied, and she followed him outside

"You know he is needs to stop relying on her and start getting used to the fact that she won't be here anymore" Dup shook his head in their direction but then reverted his attention back to Max. "You all packed up?"

Max scanned the room, in theory they didn't have much stuff but there seemed to be boxes everywhere.

"Hmm... nearly. Oh yeah that reminds me I need to pick up some stuff from the bar" He grabbed his car keys.

"Don't be long, Nomsa will freak if you're not back for your last dinner" Dup said elongating the words 'last dinner'. Everyone, and everyone meaning Nomsa and Georgina, had been going out of their way to give them a proper send off. Danny in the meantime had become very quiet spending as much time as he could away from the house or with Rosie.

"We're going in 2 days! It's not the last!"

"Oh you know what the women are like here man"

*would you call it a hut? I really don't know :S

Hope you like it :)
