The Pass Along Fanfic
*Mountain Lion on the Loose*
Chapter 9 - written by: Anjelica
Cloud Dancing raised his eyebrows ever so slightly as he came to stand in front of the clump of bushes that screened his friends from sight. "A'ho," he greeted them calmly, as if coming upon naked white people were a common occurrence.
Michaela made an embarrassed squeak and Sully gently pushed her behind him as they stood to look at their Cheyenne friend. Nakedness wasn't as big a taboo with the Cheyenne, but he knew Michaela wouldn't be comfortable.
"A'ho," Sully said, and both men suddenly looked as if they were trying to suppress grins.
"It seems to me that you are in need of assistance," Cloud Dancing said gravely. "If you would tell me where I might find your clothing, I will bring them here to you."
"Yes, thank you, Cloud Dancing," Michaela replied. She was still flushed with embarrassment.
Sully told his friend where their clothes might be found. "And there's a mountain lion in the area, " he added. "It chased us here."
"Sully just scared it away, but it could come back," Michaela put in.
"I'll return quickly." As he turned his back on them, a grin split his dark face. His brother was a lucky man to have found such an enthusiastic bride.
Back in the abandoned camp, Sully and Michaela burst into laughter.
"Oh dear...what must he think," Michaela gasped as she giggled.
Sully grinned at his wife. "I think it's safe to say he knows what's going on-and he approves."
The cry of a mountain lion interrupted them.
