I thought Eep might have something to say about Guy "Taking that chance" XD


Eep walked to the edge of the mountain slope, wondering. After all this time, all the thoughts she had about what Tomorrow held; were now over with one look, at this promised place. It was nothing like she'd thought it would be…it was better. 'You really need to see this.' Every Crood looked over the landscape, each coming to their own realisation of why they had come here. Eep looked to her father. For a moment, Grug remained expressionless, & then. 'We should go there.' Word for word what Eep had spoken at their journey's start. He knew now, why Eep saw the world with wonder rather than fear. Because it held far more beauty, than it did danger. The land in front of him now, more than proved that. Eep beamed, she finally had the one thing she'd ever wanted from her dad - understanding. She turned to Guy who offered her his hand. The first steps he took into Tomorrow, he wanted to take with her. The last of her doubts gone, Eep placed her hand in his; looking from him to the land & life in front of her, & ran towards it, Guy beside her. As they reached the beach, slightly ahead of the others, Eep leant forward to Guy, whispering something in his ear. 'What you did, back there. I don't plan on forgetting.' Guy thought back on it with a smile. Eep had become the first person who meant something to him since the loss of his own family. And what he now shared with Grug, was the desire of having someone to protect. Eep shared that need now too. Which she planned to enforce immediately. 'And Guy.' 'Yeah.' Eep's expression turned serious. 'Just letting you know, NEVER take a chance like that again.' Then a smile played across her face. 'Because should the need arise, I'll be returning the favour.' At that, Guy couldn't help but crack up a bit. 'Heh, Heh! I promise.' Although Guy wasn't sure if he would keep that promise in the end. They ran towards the water's edge, the sun's light reflected in the waves. As the surf crashed against them, Eep let out a giggle. Guy gave a puzzled smile. 'What's made you laugh this time?' Eep looked back at her family walking along the beach before turning back to him with a grin. 'To think all this happened…..because I broke the rules.' Guy couldn't argue there. 'Hmm, maybe you should break them more often.' 'Maybe! But for now, I think I'll give dad a few days peace!' Hands linked, they walked along the shoreline, both hiding a knowing smile.


She knew her reason for living; beginning from when she rid the rules that trapped her, to letting the new in, that freed her. And what had started all of the new….had been Guy. Meeting him had been more than pure coincidence. There was a reason for it. But she knew that Tomorrow, was only a very small part of that reason.
