"She, did what?!" Emma Exclaimed at her two best friends, as she was tending to Anna's cheek.

Crash and Eddie were on her shoulder, their mouths were gaped.

"Yeah" Yasmin and Anna said.

"And you didn't think to tell my father?" Emma asked getting up from her knees.

"He won't believe us" Anna said

"Have you asked him?" Emma asked.

"No, but his your father and he is like you"Yasmin said.

Emma stuck out her bottom lip and nodded, dad was like her.

"Duh" Yasmin said "He did raise her"

"Okay but we have to tell someone" Emma said "But not uncle Diego!, She was his best friend, it'll break his little, confused heart"

"True, how about your mom" Yasmin asked.

Emma, Crash and Eddie shook there head.

"Mom Is friends with her" Emma said.

"Your uncle Sid?" Anna asked

"He will just start crying" Eddie said

"Peaches?" Yasmin said

"No, she likes Mara, too" Crash said.

"Granny!?" Anna and Yasmin asked.

"Yeah okay" The possum and human said.


And they set off to find Granny.

Diego, Mara and Shira were in the woods.

They all spilt up and went to find something.

Mara ran through the forest, she was surrounded by food!, why were Diego and Shira so careful of what they eat and hunt.

She looked around, there was a park opposite her. Kids were laughing and having fun

Breakfast, Lunch and dinner!, for a YEAR!, This was heaven!, she stalked across to the ice covered park, Diego is going to love her for this!, they are going to eat fried Beaver to night or Turtle soup.

Shira and Diego were still in the forest.

Diego ran a paw down her back.

"What do you want?" Shira asked, annoyed.

"Why are you so mad with me" Diego asked facing her.

"I'm not, Diego" Shira said.

"Okay" Diego said and was going to kiss her, she stopped him by putting a paw in the way.

"hold it they, cowboy" She said

Diego gave her a questioning look.

"Emma, Yasmin and Anna can tell when we have been kissing" Shira said.

"Later" She said. She looked at paw "Okay, now!"

They were going to kiss if not they heard a little child crying for help.

"Come lets go!" Shira said.

"But-" Diego started

"Diego!" Shira shouted "Were the protectors"

"Okay" Diego said

they both ran off.

"What do you think were dealing with?, Bears?, Wolves?.." Diego asked as they ran.

They stopped at the park, Mara was pinning down about six kids! And was going to rip them open!.

"Mara!" Shira and Diego yelled.

Shira pushed her off and help the kids up.

"What the heck do you think your doing!" Diego asked, shocked.

Shira checked if the kids were okay.

"Thanks Mrs Shira and Mr. Diego." They chanted and went down playing, even one of the moms hugged Shira's front leg

"What did you do that for!, See Diego she lost our dinner!" Mara yelled at Diego.

"Why are you attacking KIDS!" Shira asked.

"Duh, I'm starving!, what do you think, easy dinner!" Mara said.

"We don't eat children, or anyone in this village" Diego told her.

They went back to the woods.

Mara banged the earth.

Cements plan B.

she joined Shira and Diego.

"Okay, its possible you two have some Issues, I'll live you to have some gal to gal talk" Diego said and with that he walked off.

Mara didn't say anything to Shira, she just scratched her in the cheek and then rolled about in some mud and rubbed herself in red berries.

"What are you-" Before Shira could even finish that sentence Mara called out for Diego.

"What! What!, Shira are you okay!" Diego yelled and notice Mara.

She looked like she was really hurt and Shira had berry juice on her paws.

"SHIRA!" Diego yelled.

"Diego, I think my leg is broken, can you carry me" Mara asked.

"Of course" Diego said "Why, Shira, Why?" Diego asked.

"It wasn't Shira, A bear came" Mara said. And weakly smiled.

"oh, we have to get you back to Ellie and Emma" Diego said "Shira help me get her on my back."

Shira growl harshly and picked up Mara put her on Diego's back.

"Lets go!" Diego said.

Mara smiled on the way back.

She nuzzled in his fur, and smelled him.

"This is getting good" Mara thought "Really good"

Shira scowled at her. "Cow" She through "I'm his kitty, not you. Diego, My softy, I hope you are smart enough to pass this"
