Danny crawled into the small cave they found first, ordering Sarah to wait outside while he check it out and made sure it was safe. It took him less than a minute before he called to her and she ducked inside the low opening herself. It was quite small, but there was enough room for them both to sleep comfortably, or at least as comfortably as one could sleep on hard rock. It was quite dark out and Sarah sat against one of the walls as she watched Danny fumble around in his backpack. They were both silent again, but it was a comfortable silence rather than an angry one.

After a few minutes, Danny sighed and dumped the contents of the bag out into a corner.

"What are you looking for?" Sarah asked him.

"Anything soft that you can use as a pillow," Danny replied, "but I've got nothing so I thought I'd roll up the backpack itself.

Sarah removed her brown leather jacket and handed it to him, "Will that help?"

Danny hesitated before taking it, "Won't you be cold?"

Sarah shook her head. "I'd rather be a bit cold than sleep against the hard stone. It's not too bad in here anyway; the cave seems to be keeping the chill air out a bit."

Danny rolled up her coat and placed it in the backpack before handing it back to her. "Here," he said, "Lay down."

"What are you going to use?"

Danny shrugged, "I'll be fine. I've got a hard head."

Sarah handed the backpack back to him, "How about you use the pillow for your head, and I use your shoulder for mine?"

Danny chuckled and reached for her, settling himself down and pulling her into his arms, "Yeah." he admitted, "That works for me."

"I thought it might," Sarah grinned at him. "Besides, this way we can huddle together for warmth too."

"You're a genius, Sarah," Danny murmured, his eyes closing as he suddenly realised just how tired he really was. He wondered briefly if they should assign a watch, but he was too far gone to voice the idea and he had a feeling that neither of them would be able to stay awake. Anyway, it wasn't as if they'd seen anything in this time period that could hurt them. The last thing he was aware of before he finally drifted off was that Sarah was already sound asleep in his arms.

Danny awoke slowly many hours later to a bright sun-ray streaming into their cave and bathing him in its warmth. He stared at it, puzzled for a moment, and then groaned as he remembered the events of the day before. He glanced down at Sarah who was still sleeping and lay still, not wanting to wake her. It wasn't as though they had to be anywhere anyway. Time was strange in this place, he decided: strange because it didn't matter. There was no reason to hurry anything. The only thing they had to do right now was to survive. No one would notice or care if they slept all morning. It was like they had all the time in the world to just walk, talk, sleep and eat. Danny wondered if they'd ever get back home. He decided to find a way of keeping track of the days they spent here. After all, he wouldn't want to miss a holiday, or Sarah's birthday, or anything.

He felt Sarah stirring beside him and he gently pushed the hair from her face as she woke up.

"Danny?" she asked, puzzled, "Where are we?"

He didn't answer her, letting the memories come back to her on their own. Instead he whispered gently, "Hey, Beautiful. Good morning."

Sarah smiled, "You always were a flirt."

Danny threw his head back and laughed, "No reason to change now then, is there?"

She sat up, "Guess not. What do we do now?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. How's your ankle?"

Sarah tried it slowly and then winced. "It's not good."

Danny nodded, "Then we stay here until it's healed. Welcome to our home sweet home."

"What if the anomaly re-opens?"

"I'll keep checking. Should be able to see it from here if we just step outside and back up a few metres."

"Do you think it will?"

"Honestly," Danny asked, "No, but we can't give up, Sare."

"Even if it did," she reasoned, "It still wouldn't take us home. We'd have to wait for one to open up from the Cretaceous back to the future and then from there back to our own time, assuming the one at the race track has closed by the time we get anywhere near that far, and I'd prefer to be waiting here than with the predators."

"What are you saying, Sarah? That we shouldn't go back even if it does open?"

Sarah shook her head, "I'm not saying that at all, it's just, maybe if it doesn't open by the time I can walk again, we should just keep going. Rather than wait at this site, we can search out new anomalies. We'll just keep travelling through them until we find our own way home."

Danny nodded, "Yeah, yeah, you're probably right." Suddenly his face lit up, "Do you think we have the detector? Or was that in Connor's bag?"

He moved to the pile of items he had dumped into the corner the night before and pulled it out triumphantly, "Aha!"

Sarah's face lit up. "Now that's good to have! But why didn't we hear it before when we found the anomaly here? Is it working?"

Danny shrugged, "Probably buried under too many other things in there, sound may have been muffled." He turned it over in his hands a couple times. "It looks like it's working, but there's no anomaly. We'd better make sure it's more accessible from now on."

Sarah nodded and watched as Danny started going through the other stuff to see what they had available. There was a stun grenade, a first aid kit, two cans of ravioli, three tins of spam, two filled water bottles, a knife, a compass, a lighter and a coil of rope.

"Not much to live on," Sarah commented.

Danny had been thinking the exact same thing, but he heard the sudden concern in Sarah's voice and pushed away the thought for her sake. He held out his arm to her and she moved closer, cuddling into his side. "Better than nothing. We'll be fine, Sarah," he reassured her. "It's not a lot of food and water, but it's enough to survive on for a little while and by that time your ankle should be well enough to walk on. There's certain to be something growing in the forest that we can eat as soon as you're well enough to head there and the river looked clean enough to drink from. We'll be fine. It's like camping, yeah?"

Sarah nodded and Danny gave her a quick kiss on the top of her ear. The sat like that for a moment, both trying to cling onto each others hope that they'd get home again. Finally Danny stood up, kissing the top of her head once more, and speaking, "Sarah, wait here. I won't be long, I'm just gonna see if I can find some kindling for a fire."

"You think we should use the lighter?" Sarah asked, "We don't want to waste it. It's not super cold out right now and it might be as the seasons change."

Danny hesitated, but then shrugged, "You're right and we might find food that needs cooking eventually, meat perhaps, but what we've got now is safe to eat cold. But I should still try to find some wood to stock up on it. I don't know if it snows here ever or what time of year it is now, but if we suddenly wake up in a blizzard one day we'll want the wood in here before hand."

"Danny, I can help."

"No, I won't go far, but you need to stay off that foot so that you're ready to move when we run out of food here, okay?"

Sarah nodded, not wanting to stay behind, but knowing that he was right. "Okay," she agreed.

He took her coat out of the backpack and handed it to her. "I might need the backpack to carry stuff in," he told her. "Back in a bit."

He ducked out of the cave and heard Sarah sigh behind him.

Danny walked for a bit, picking up little pieces of wood and dried grass here and there and dropping it into the bag. He headed down towards the river and found that it wasn't too far if he veered left, that was good. He could fill up their water bottles at any time then. He kept his eyes open for other things that might be useful too. He found a plant with enormous leaves that he had never seen before and he picked a couple of the leaves to use as blankets for them, hoping they weren't poisonous. He also picked up some good size pieces of wood that he thought he'd try to carve into a few tools and weapons. Sarah might be able to help with that too and it would give them something to do.

He was heading back when he came across some wild red flowers on a bush and he grinned, picking them to give to Sarah as well. Hopefully, they would cheer her up.

When he entered their cave again he found Sarah leaning against the wall looking utterly bored.

"Sarah," He said, poking his head through the entrance.

Her face lit up with a grin, "It's about time!"

"I wasn't gone long," he chuckled, "But I guess I didn't leave you with much to do. No matter, I've found a project for us now, and I brought you these." He held out the flowers to her as he sat down.

Sarah grinned. "Thanks Danny!" she exclaimed, "I love them!"

"I thought you would. Now, about the project…" Danny pulled the wood out of the backpack and reached for the knife in their pile of stuff, "Do you think you could make us some tools or weapons or something?"

Sarah grinned, "Yep, just leave it to me!"

"Good. You can work on that then and I think I'll go out one more time while you do and get a second backpack load full. By the way, I can easily fill up the water bottles again so if you're thirsty, don't worry about using the water up."

Sarah reached for one, "In that case, I'm parched."

Danny laughed and went to duck out of the cave once more when suddenly he heard a noise outside. It sounded like some type of bird call and Danny grinned widely, "There're birds here!" he announced.

"We don't have a gun for hunting," Sarah responded. "Birds won't be easy to catch."

"No matter, I'm just glad to hear something living in the area. We might get a few if we're lucky, but perhaps there's more around here than birds. I'll might see if I can't spot any fish as well."

"Danny?"

"Yep?"

"If you find any more flowers could you get them for me? I might try to make this place look a bit more cheerful."

"Sure thing, Sare. See you in a bit."

He was gone for longer the second time, most of the afternoon in fact and Sarah had started to worry, but when he returned he had caught three fish with his bare hands, and had used a sharp stick to cut them and clean them so that he didn't have to do that in their little abode away from home. He'd also picked a bouquet of all different types of flowers and he had one more surprise for Sarah too.

"Blackberries!" she exclaimed as he handed them to her proudly.

"Found them by the river. If the seasons here are anything like at home, it's probably late summer, early autumn now for them to be ripe."

"Were there more?"

"Loads more, but my hands were full of fish and the backpack filled with flowers so I only picked what I could carry in my pocket. Maybe we can make a bowl or something out of something tomorrow. There's enough for now though. I'm going to light a fire, Sarah. We should really cook the fish."

Sarah nodded her agreement. "We should find another way to start a fire though, without the lighter, at some point."

Danny nodded, "Yeah, I'll spend tomorrow trying to figure that out too, too hungry now."

Sarah put down her wood carvings with a smile, "You start the fire and I'll cook the dinner?"

"Deal."
