"How long does it take?" Kate asked as she paced around her den. She was, of course, talking about Humphrey who had been ravaged by the rake-like creature.

"It does take awhile Kate." Lilly said comforting her. "You just have to be patient."

"But it's taking forever! What if he's dead?" She stifled a scream.

"Don't worry. Aaron's great."

"Who's talking about my brother?" A voice popped up. It was Stacy.

"Oh, hey Stacy."

"What happened?"

"Humphrey is injured." Lilly replied.

"Oh my! Is he going to die?"

"No, he is supposedly immortal." Garth said annoyed. "I still don't know how."

"Oh, yeah. I heard about that from Eve. How did that happen again?"

"He bumped into some chemicals and that's it. Big whoop." Garth replied.

"Right. I just hope Aaron doesn't mess up." Then, on the spot, Aaron came through the den exclaiming.

"Yes! Yes! In everyone's face, especially Garth. You told us we were crazy, my shrink told me I was crazy. Well, who's the narcissist with severe detachment disorder now, Dr. Grossbard?!" He then looked around to see everyone was looking at him in confusion.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Oh, right. Humphrey!" He then moved to reveal Humphrey standing there with perfect health.

"Did anyone miss me?" Kate squealed and ran over to Humphrey. She gave him a big hug.

"Don't die on me Humphrey." She said.

"Oh, don't worry. I ain't going to die." He said with a smile.

"Well, if you guys are done, I'm going to Hutch's den."

"Sex, right?" Stacy said.

"You got it."

"Nasty."

"It's better than walking in on them making love." Humphrey said with a groan.

"Well, that's nasty." Stacy replied.

"I know."

"Okay, if this nasty discussion is over…" Stacy stopped in mid-sentence when she heard rhythmic clapping.

"Stacy? Y'ello?" Humphrey said as he waved a paw.

"Hey Stacy!" Aaron exclaimed. "What's wrong with her?"

"I bet it's something crazy." Garth said. "I'm not going to stay for it. Lilly, let's go."

"Actually, I want to see."

"Oh, not you! You're not following this weird adventure with them, are you?" Garth was annoyed now.

"Who knows? It might be fun." Lilly replied.

"Well, I'm not staying here." Kate said. "And you aren't either, Humphrey."

"Oh! I was just getting used to this. And… where is she going?" Humphrey asked as they saw Stacy walking into the forest.

"Okay. Lilly and I are going to see what's wrong with Stacy. Come on!" Aaron said as they left.

"He better not do anything to hurt Lilly." Garth said as he, Humphrey, and Kate left Aaron's den.
