As Lilly slept, nightmares haunted her. In her dream, Thatch was killing Garth, her friend's body was being devoured by black bears, and Thatch was forcing himself upon her. Lilly tried to get away, but he held her down and laughed at her feeble resistance.

"No!" Lilly screamed, as her eyes shot wide open. Garth saw how scared Lilly was, rushed over to her and tried to calm her down. "Lilly, it's all right," he soothed, running his paw down her back. "You just had a bad dream, that's all." Lilly looked at him, with tears running down her cheeks.

It was hard but she managed to choke out her dream. "I... I saw Thatch, he... he had killed you, and these black bears had killed everyone else." Garth realized that she was still suffering from past events. "What else did you see in your dream?" he asked. "Thatch was trying to force himself on me," she said, starting to cry really hard.

Kate and the others tried to calm her down, but Garth wanted them to stay back. So everyone left him with Lilly and went to the next box car. "I think that we should have left Lilly and Garth back in Jasper park," Shaky said quietly, as he threw a glance at Lilly and Garth. Humphrey quickly defended Lilly. "Do you know what Lilly has been through? I saw Thatch try to defile her when she was young," he snapped.

"I'm sorry, I was only thinking out loud," Shaky apologized quickly. "Very loud!" Kate said with a threatening growl, as she looked the small omega in the eye. "And I think that you need to watch what you say about my family." Shaky nodded his head in agreement and slunk off to the back of the box car.

Mooch and Salty looked at one another and shrugged. Soon everyone started to get really bored with nothing to do. Humphrey looked at his friends. "Do any of you guys feel like doing something right now?" he asked. Mooch thought for a minute. "How about playing a game?" he suggested. "How about 'go fish' you guys? I hear it's a real fun game," Salty chimed in, "or maybe there is something in these boxes we could play with." Humphrey watched as his friend began digging into a box.

"Salty, I don't think you should go through these boxes," Kate said stepping forward. She was bored like the others, but she knew better than to go through things that didn't belong to them, but it was too late. Salty had already pulled out a strange green bone. "Look what I got," he said proudly before biting down on it. The bone made a squeaking sound. Salty dropped the bone and stepped back, but the others stepped forward to study the strange thing their friend had found.

"What is it?" Shaky asked trying to get a good look at the bone. Humphrey decided to see if the squeaking sound would happen again, so he rested his paw on it and pushed down hard. The bone squeaked and he pressed down on it again and again. Soon everyone was playing with it and having a good time. They played keep away with it, catch and tug-of-war also.

As everyone played, Garth was busy talking with Lilly about her life before she met him, but he made sure not to mention Thatch. "So Lilly, what did you do after your sister left for Alpha school?" he asked. Lilly smiled, "I always tried to play jokes on Humphrey."

"Really, what kind of jokes?" Garth asked, wishing he could have seen Lilly pranking Humphrey. "Well, I once put ants on his fur when he was sleeping," Lilly said, giggling, "and he was running all over the den." Garth burst out laughing.

Lilly wanted to know more about Garth, so she asked about his mother. "I was wondering why I didn't see your mom at our wedding. Why have I never met your mom?" There was a brief silence before he sadly replied. "My mom died giving birth to me," he said softly. "My dad raised me and taught me everything I know, except for one thing." He felt his mate lean against his shoulder. "And what was that?" Lilly asked.

"How to love someone," he replied, with a smile. "You were the one that taught me that, Lilly." Lilly was happy that she was the one who brought happiness into his life. "I think its time to find something to eat," Lilly said, and Garth began looking for food.

Garth sniffed everyone of the boxes in the car, but found nothing until he came to the last box in the back. Whatever he smelled made his stomach growl louder. Garth pushed the box over and tore a big hole in the side of the box. Inside were all kinds of Little Debbies. "Lilly, take your pick," he offered. Lilly chose a box of oatmeal cream pies and Garth picked a box of Zebra cakes. The two of them ate until they could eat no more.

"Garth, can I ask you one more question?" Lilly asked, licking the crumbs off her paws. "Sure thing," Garth said burping loudly. "If I were to die, would you find another mate?" Garth was a little shocked, but he spoke from the heart. "If you were to die, I would live a solitary life, never going out unless I needed to find food. It would be lonely, but I would not care because my angel had faded away." Lilly was very happy to know that he would always love her and never think about another mate.

"Garth, what you said has made me very happy," she said sweetly, before giving him a kiss. "I'm glad that we had this talk," Garth said. That was when something smacked him in the side of the head with a loud squeak. Looking down he saw a green bone and knew where it came from. "Who threw this thing?!" he growled at the others.

Humphrey started whistling, trying not to look guilty, but Garth saw through his little act. "Hey, next time warn someone before you throw things," he said picking up the bone as he and Lilly entered the other box car before throwing it back at Humphrey. "You might hurt someone."

"I guess Garth is not into playing games," Mooch joked, catching the squeaky bone in his mouth. But before any of them could continue the game, a security guard came in to check the boxes. Instead of boxes he found himself looking at seven wolves.

"Jeff! Get my rifle," he cried. Humphrey and Kate didn't like the sound of that. It was time to leave this train and head the rest of the way on foot.
