Disclaimer: I own no Disney Characters or rights to songs used in this Fanfiction, I am merely a fan.

A/N: I do however own Terra, and you will face my wrath if you steal her.

Before anyone gets concerned, the contest is still going. You have exactly one week to get in your entry. ^_^ This chapter is being posted as a late Birthday present to MsNeverMind and as a filler chapter to hold you all over until next week.

Just to let you know there is a new character in the story that makes an appearance. I don't own him, he's all Disney. He was originally supposed to be in the original Pocahontas Movie, but his character didn't make it in. My sister asked me if I would consider including him in at least some of the story so as a gift to my sister that character is present in the chapter.

Voleur lazily opened her eyes and licked her chops as she heard her human raise from her resting place. Voleur stretched and yawned and smiled at her human girl who rose from the large sleeping place and began to put the strange soft things over her body to hide her hairlessness.

Voleur tilted her head and looked at the place where her Mistress had just risen from. Her Mistress' man still lay in the bed. Voleur frowned, it must still be dark outside. Why was her human girl awake at such an hour?

"She was having a nightmare," said a voice beside her. Voleur turned her head and saw Ginger, the cat she shared her human with watching their human girl as well. "She's been having nightmares every night," said Ginger sitting prettily on the desk looking at her human who was called Terra.

Terra was quiet while dressing, so that she didn't awaken her man. Ginger glared at him, he was a terrible human. She growled, however his pompous pup Percy was a worse dog. Ginger looked over at Percy's special bed and glared. He was living like a King. She rolled her eyes and looked at Voleur, "she'll be okay."

Voleur sighed, "if you say so." Ginger nodded, "I've been with her since I was a kitten, I know what I'm talking about Voleur." The raccoon nodded and the two animals watched as Terra walked out of the tent.

Voleur jumped down from the desk and followed behind Terra. "Where are you going?" asked Ginger. "I'm following Terra, she may need some company." Ginger nodded and they followed after their human. Terra was standing by the shore like she had been doing for several days now. Voleur looked up at Terra. The wind blew and Terra's long red hair swirled around her face.

"Terra," called a voice behind them. The three turned and all groaned seeing Governor Ratcliffe standing outside of the tent. He walked over to her and said, "are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine... I just wasn't tired anymore." Voleur made a bleh sound as he tried to sweet talk Terra. Ginger giggled and smiled at her friend. "I'm fine, honestly. Go back to sleep." He looked down at her and sighed. Voleur looked at him and said, "she's not interested, shoo." Ginger giggled again, "leave them be. As horrible a man as he is, he makes our human girl happy."

"Sometimes," said Voleur. Ginger sighed, "true, but..." she looked up at Terra. Terra was speaking softly to him of the nightmares she'd been having. He immediately pulled her into his arms and kissed her head repeatedly. He gave her comfort, when she needed it. They were both stubborn and were fighting the feelings they obviously felt for each other. Ginger sighed, "but... he does love her." Voleur nodded.

"Let's give them some privacy," said Ginger turning from her human and her man, "he won't hurt her. Not now." Ginger walked off towards the woods, and Voleur followed after her. They walked around in the woods and just enjoyed the nature. Ginger sighed, "I really didn't want to get dirty."

"You can have a bath in the lake," said Voleur, "don't complain." Ginger sighed and followed Voleur who had walked ahead of her. The girls went far away from the camp, and deep into the woods. Ginger gulped and looked around, "Voleur... do you know where we are?"

"Of course I do," she said. Voleur looked around and swallowed, Camp was back the other direction... yep... back the other directions. Voleur continued walking forward and gasped as she bumped into something.

"Oh excuse me," she said. She then growled at the creature in front of her. Ginger narrowed her eyes at the animal, "are you... supposed to be a bird?" The bird chuckled, "well isn't that the understatement of the century." Ginger shook her head slowly, not understanding. She looked over at Voleur, who was snarling and growling at him.

"Voleur?"

"He's a Turkey," said Voleur, "they can get really nasty!"

"Whoa! Whoa!" said the Turkey raising his wings up in surrender, "little furry bandit, I'm a good turkey," he said placing his wings on his chest, "good turkey." Voleur glared at him, but stopped snarling. Ginger looked at him, "I've never seen one you before, you're quite... peculiar looking." He laughed, "yeah I get that alot. Anyway, my name's Redfeather. What's yours?"

"Ginger," replied the cat. She looked at Voleur, "and this one is Voleur." Redfeather nodded, "okay okay, the furry thing, and the furry bandit, gottcha." Ginger blinked feeling rather offended at that nickname.

"Come on, Ginger we should go back home," said Voleur, "Terra is probably worried about us." Voleur looked around, now... how to find home. Ginger tilted her head, "something wrong Voleur?" Voleur shook her head, "no... it's this way," she said walking straight.

"The human place is the other direction," said Redfeather, "unless your looking for the Indians, then their straight to the west." Ginger's tail flicked, "really?" Redfeather nodded, "yep. I'll take you back home little furry things." Ginger inclined her head, "thank you so much, Mister Redfeather." Redfeather lead them towards the Englishmen encampment.

"So why were you two wandering around anyway?" he asked as they walked through the forest.

"We were giving our human privacy with her Lord," said Ginger, "they've been having a hard time with their... relationship."

"Humans," said Redfeather shaking his head.

"Quite," said Ginger, "they need to get over whatever troubles them and become the couple they once were."

"He said when they returned home," said Voleur.

"He should be trying to fix this now," said Ginger, "I know my girl, she doesn't say anything when she's upset, and she can get very distant and introverted. She needs love and compassion and kindness."

"I thought you said he did love her," said Voleur.

"He does," said Ginger, "but Terra can't tell," she said.

"Sounds like your girl should take things into her own hands," said Redfeather.

"She's tried that," said Voleur and Ginger in unison. Redfeather thought, "humans are so complicated." Ginger giggled, "what do you know about humans?"

"Tons, I watch the Indians all the time," he said. Ginger sighed, "he probably won't ever fix this," she looked at the ground, "he's too proud."

"If he loves her, he will," said Redfeather. Ginger gave him a small smile. Voleur froze hearing something behind her. She turned and gasped, "uh... Redfeather... please tell me these are friends of yours." Redfeather turned around and gulped at the big turkeys that stood before him.

"Nope... I'm a solo turkey. Those ones... aren't nice turkeys." Ginger narrowed her eyes as they all spread their wings.

"What are they doing?" she asked.

"Uh oh," said Redfeather, "run girls run!" Voleur and Ginger looked at each other and then screamed as the turkeys came charging at them. They took off and ran as quickly as they could.

"Fear the turkey!" screamed Voleur as they ran for their lives.

"Right behind ya, girls," Redfeather said. Ginger gasped and turned to see him farther behind them then he said. She looked around, "Voleur the tree." Voleur climbed up the tree and looked said, "Redfeather hurry!" He approached the tree and jumped up. Ginger pushed him upward and Voleur grabbed his feathers pulling him up. Ginger shrieked and jumped up onto the tree as the turkeys approached it.

Voleur stuck her tongue at the turkeys and laughed loudly, "ah ha haha! You big fat bird brains!" There was a loud crack and Voleur gasped as the branch she was on began to crack. "Uh oh," she squeaked. Before she could jump to another branch it fell with her screaming on her way down. She began trying to climb the air, and somehow found herself on another branch.

She turned her head and saw Ginger holding her tail with her teeth. "You know, you're a lot heavier than you look," snarled Ginger trying to pull Voleur up, "I think you need to lay off the biscuits and apples a bit." Voleur gasped, "oh the horror!" Ginger rolled her eyes and pulled Voleur up.

Redfeather laughed loudly, "you two are a hoot and a half you know that." The girls looked at each other and then back down at the demonic birds below them. They sighed, half in relief and half in despair.

"Terra is going to be worried," said Voleur sadly. Ginger nodded. Redfeather frowned, "well why don't you two just travel through the trees, it's straight that way," he said pointing. Ginger tilted her head, "what about you?"

"I'll be fine, if it's just me, they'll go away soon," he said smiling. Voleur and Ginger exchanged glances and then nodded. They turned from him and took off, back towards the human encampment.

Terra looked around the Fort. "Ginger!" she called, "Voleur!" She frowned, where had they gone off to? She walked back towards the tent and called for them once more, "Ginger! Voleur!" She lowered her head and sniffled. Had they run off? What if something bad happened to them.

Ratcliffe turned from speaking with Lon, when he heard Terra calling for her pets. He frowned and lowered his head. He looked back at Lon and nodded to him, then turned and walked towards his wife. He looked around the area as he approached her, maybe he would spot them. "Terra, I'm sure they haven't wandered off to far. They'll be fine."

She glared at him and began walking away from him. He raised a brow and pursed his lips. He grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his chest. She gasped and looked up at him. "You will respect me," he said quietly, "I understand that you're worried for your pets, but you will not disrespect me."

"Yes sir," she said quietly. He swallowed and took a deep breath, "if they aren't back by nightfall, I'll send a few men to go look for them." She nodded a small smile gracing her lips. He shook his head softly, the things he did for love. She jumped up, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply on the mouth. He pulled away from her and furrowed his brows, "what was that for?"

"For being sweet," she said smiling up at him. He smirked and looked up over her head seeing movement. He nodded and she turned. She shrieked in delight and ran forward, falling onto her bottom as Ginger and Voleur pounced her and began nuzzling and purring.

She giggled and said, "goodness, I guess you two were lost." She stroked their heads and smiled down at them, "well... did you two have fun?" They looked at each other and then back at her. She laughed loudly, and held her girls close to her.

Ratcliffe smirked down at them and turned walking off towards the tent. He removed his hat and raked a hand through his hair. She'd been having nightmares about Philip again and that Indian Man. He growled, he'd kill them both if they ever came near his wife again. Terra belonged to him, and he did not share. He took a deep soothing breath sitting down on the bed and putting his head in his hands.

Nothing he did made her happy anymore. Not his kisses, his caresses, none of it, but as soon as he mentions rescuing her pets she loves him again. He sighed, he really had muddied up his marriage. He had to make this right, now. It couldn't wait till they got back to London. He shot up from the bed and walked to the door of the tent. He pushed the cloth by and looked around. Where was Terra? He found her and he instantly froze.

John Smith was alone with her. She was holding Ginger in her arms, while Voleur laid on John's shoulder. Terra was smiling at John as they spoke about something. Ratcliffe inhaled sharply as some of Terra's hair fell towards her face. John immediately tucked it behind her ear, smiling down at her. She smiled back up at him, and they continued talking, turning and walking off together.

Ratcliffe stepped back inside the tent. He should go after them, he should confront them and see what was going on. He cringed and clutched at his chest, but the pain he already felt stopped him from doing that. He blinked back tears, why did this keep happening. He'd cried maybe three times in his lifetime, and now he's nearly always crying when he's alone. He walked over to the bed and laid down on it.

If he found out that they were having an affair... he sighed, his heart wouldn't be able to take it. He took a deep breath once more and looked up at the ceiling of the tent. He took deep soothing breaths. Sometime during his meditation he fell asleep.

His dreams were wonderful, despite how depressed he felt. He dreamed of Terra, his Terra and how they used to be. It was just the two of them, no one else to steal her from him.

"Terra," he called smiling. He heard her giggle and he raised a brow and turned around. "Sweetheart, where are you?" Terra giggled again. He spun around looking for her. "Terra?" He smirked seeing her peer at him from behind a bookshelf. He looked around, apparently they were in the Library. He began to walk towards her and she giggled and dashed off, running to hide behind another bookshelf.

He chuckled, "oh so you want to play games do you?" Terra giggled again and dashed off. He looked around, "now where did you go?" he chuckled. He heard her giggle and he looked around, "Terra?" He turned around and smiled seeing her running to him. He opened his arms and held her close to his chest.

"I love you," she said smiling up at him." He smiled down at her and said, "and I love you."

Ratcliffe awoke feeling something against him. He blinked, he was hugging a pillow for almost dear life. He turned and saw Terra in bed beside him, with her arm over his waist. He smirked and slowly rose. He undressed and then climbed back into bed. He pulled Terra's sleeping form close to his body, and held her closely as he drifted back to sleep.
