A/N: Still no reviews... well actually one which kind of inspired me to push on this story, K2912- The Anonimo Avtory, it is true that Humphrey and Lilly ships are rare throughout fanfic that's also what drove and pushed me to write this fanfic. Anyway, I just felt like adding songs that some how fit the scene in the last chapter. With that that being said, sit back and enjoy this fourth chapter.
Respect Is My Paradise
Humphrey's P.O.V.
I woke up to the smell of a sweet, lavender perfume. I tried getting up but I felt something on my chest. I looked down to see it was Lilly sleeping on my chest.
This startled me at first which caused her to wale up. "Huh-whu?" She said still sleepy.
"Good Morning Lilly." I greeted as she stretched out of bed. "Morning Humphrey, how was your night." She asked. That's the thing, I don't remember what happened last night.
"What happened last night anyway?" I asked trying to get more to the point.
"You mean you don't remember? All lot of things happened last night." She said. This was not making me feel any better.
"Did we... do something?" I asked trying to avoid the direct message behind that. Lilly wasn't stupid, she picked this up almost instantly.
"No! Of course not, silly. Why would you think that, perv." She said with a blush. It wasn't really my fault, I forgot what happened last night and the first thing I see when I woke up was a girl sleeping on my chest. That's when noticed her eyes, it looked like she had been crying.
"Your eyes..." That's when it all came back to me, it almost practically hit me like brick. That's when I remembered how much ahe suffered last night.
"Oh my God, Lilly I'm so sorry. How could I forget about your parents, and you coming over last night." I said as I covered my face in embarrassment and disappointment.
"It's okay, I don't blame you. After all you did have a tiring day and Kate and I still interrupted your evening with our troubles. I'm sorry Humphrey." She said, tearing up as she explained.
"I already told you, it's okay. I don't really get any visitors, so it was kinda relaxing." I said.
"Really?" She asked so innocently. This makes me wonder what kind of a guy I truly was to Lilly last night. It's kind of hard to treat wolves, who you already know, as guests.
"Yeah, it was." I said, now starting to sound down. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing at all." I lied. I definitely had something bothering me and I just couldn't bring it up.
"Anyway, what would you want for breakfast?" I asked trying to get away from the topic. "What do you mean? It's your house, your rules. I'm just a guest, you are free to take advantage of anything in you house." She responded.
The fact that she said I could take advantage of anything in my house aroused me in a crude way.
"Anything?" I asked in a menacing tone with a dedevilish grin. "Anything other than me! Jeez Humphrey, I never knew you had 'this' side of you." She responded in defeat.
"It simply can't be helped, my dear. I am a young, adolescent male wolf who is at 'that phase' at the moment." I dramatically stated.
"Uh-huh. Anyway, I'm gonna take a shower and no peeking." She said before she left. 'Damn, does she really not trust me.' I thought.
I just made breakfast in the meantime, because she took so long, I decided to make lunch for us as well. She later exited the bathroom and headed for the guestroom.
She walked down the stairs after dressing up to find one of my best specials being dished out.
"Mmhh, what's this tasty dish I smell?" She asked. "It's my Humphrey Style: Bacon and Sausage Omelet." I stated.
"Sounds lame." She blandly responded. "I'm still working on the name..." I said still thinking of a name.
She took the first bite and moaned in pleasure as her taste buds were filled with flavor (anime-ishly). This was basically a food-gasm. When she finished, I took off my apron and I ended in a "Your welcome!"
"Wow Humphrey, if you joined Masterchef, It would turn into some kind of Food Wars anime." She said.
I know, I was just... that... good. After packing our sports bag with our with our kit pack, we then left the house and headed for school.
Shakey P.O.V
I was on my way to school while listening to music. I just thought this was just gonna be another boring morning, leading to another boring day, leading to another boring week, leading to another boring year, leading to another boring life.
I was just crossing the river (which was a short cut I taught Humphrey early this month) then by luck, I saw Humphrey walking up the road to the front gate of the school.
I was about to run to him then saw he was with someone. 'Is that Lilly?' I thought as I looked closer.
I then started to get interested in what was going on between the two, so I decided to walk up close to them but not too close.
As I was 'spying' on them I noticed that their hands touched for a brief time... this was all I needed to know.
'Ah, so they ARE dating' I thought before entering the school. 'Garth, Salty and Princess gotta hear about this!'
Humphrey's P.O.V.
We just arrived at school earlier than expected, so there was nothing to do really, so we just decided to head for the Ergo Room.
We opened the door and put our bags at the corner of the large room. "Hey, do you wanna do a little warm up for the day?" Lilly asked as she set herself up on one of the machine.
"Yeah but how do I even set this monitor up anyway?" I asked as I strapped my feet in.
Lilly just shook her head. "You got fastest time on the trials but you can't even set up a monitor?" She asked, clearly pissed at me.
She just went to the front of tge machine then leaned forwards to set the monitor for me. She then lowered the monitor for me too see exactly what we were doing.
"100m sprint? How is that a warm up?" I asked. "This is gonna burn out my energy."
"This is for what you did to me this morning." She stated angrily. Note to self: Never piss off Lilly.
"I told you before Humphrey, you need to show the ladies some respect!" She said now almost shouting.
"I'm sorry." I blatantly apologized. That's all I could really say at the moment to the now raging Lilly.
"I will only forgive you once you treat me more like a lady like a gentleman shoud do." She said. Well this ought to be tricky because I'm not really a 'people-person'.
We counted down to the start and we were off. I still had no idea what the other numbers around the monitor meant but so far I knew that the bigger number in the middle goes down the harder you pull. The number on top meant the distance remaining.
'I'm pulling 1:39 so I guess that's good.' I thought while I was pulling. I finished first and Lilly finished 14 seconds after me.
"See? *huff* *huff* I knew *huff* *huff* you could do it. Not *huff.* too bad a warm up *huff* for a strong wolf" Lilly said while she was panting.
"Thanks. You did pretty good too." I responded not as out of breath as Lilly. Just then, we heard the doors open up.
We saw Christie and Shakey walking in the room laughing out loud. Lilly and I looked at the two in confusion.
"Wow Humphrey, I never knew you were such a 'strong wolf' to Lilly." Christie remarked, making Lilly blush at this.
"And I never knew that you were 'pretty good at this' with Humphrey." Shakey said, making it my turn to turn red.
Christie and Shakey then burst out laughing again when they saw our flushed faces. I then noticed that Christina was getting awfully close to Shakey.
"Gee guys, get a room" I stated, trying to change the subject. "You're the one to talk, you and Lilly already found one." Christie countered my comment.
We both blushed even harder at this. "Don't worry guys, Christie and I got stuff to do now, so we'll leave you two to yourselves to do what y'all wanna do." Shakey said before he and Christina both left the room. "Jackass." Lilly and I retorted.
"Well, um... what should we do now?" She asked. "Let's just get out of here before Garth gets here and annoys us too." I replied.
We quickly changed and left the room in silence. The school bell rang not too long after indicating that the school day had started. Lilly and I said our goodbyes as we headed for our classes.
My first class: Mathematics
Man, starting a day with this subject really ruined my day (I mean it was already ruined in the Ergo Room but this is 3 times worse). Salty is in every single one of my classes so at least I had someone to talk to.
Nothing much was really happening because most of the class decided to stay at home because most of the teachers were M.I.A.
Lilly's first class: Creative Arts (In her P.O.V.)
I was glad that I started with my favorite class to set my day back on track (after Christina and Sam ruined it of course). Since the class was mostly empty, I had an even better time focusing on the lesson.
My second class: History
Lilly and I shared this class at least so I could almost enjoy this class. Salty saw Lilly and I sit together buthe didn't react. 'I guess Shakey never told about this morning.' I thought.
My third class: Science
Yeah, I admit I was kind of a science nerd but hey at least the class wasn't boring.
Break Time
Christina's P.O.V
I was walking down to the cafeteria hall with Shakey. We were just about finished dishing up and looking for a place to sit then we saw Humphrey and Lilly having lunch too.
"My, my those two have gotten really close haven't they Sammy?" I asked Shakey who was still looking for a spot to sit.
"Why don't we sit with them to make things interesting? Also, don't call me Sammy, it's either Samuel, Sam or Shakey." He responded.
"Okay Sammy." I replied clearly trying to annoy him even more. I got an angry growl in response which meant it worked.
"Hey Humphrey and Lilly. How was you morning session?" I asked making it difficult for the two. Shakey only chuckled at this.
"Hey, what're you laughin' at?" Humphrey asked trying to avoid my question. Well he got his wish.
"Oh it's nothing really. I was just thinking of how you and Lilly were holding hands earlier this morning." Shakey really stepped in it this time.
"I wasn't holding hands with Humphrey!" Retorted Lilly, now going red in the face from the anger. I think I might hsve pushed things too far here.
Lilly's P.O.V
Oh my God. I"ve had enough of boys and there small-headed assumptions.
"We were just talking about rowing then Humphrey gave me a high and low five!" I explained furiously.
"Oh, sure it was." Shakey said, taking a bite at his meal. "YOU DICK HEAD!" I shouted, I didn't mean it but Shakey seemed unfazed.
"Hey dude and dudette wolves who've joined rowing, since there is no practice this afternoon, why not settle this in a street race." Asked a grey furred wolf who's name I think was Candu.
I was not expecting that. I wasn't really a fan of street races but I did know quite a bit about cars.
"Excuse me?" Shakey asked. "Dude I don't even know how to drive! (Thank goodness)" Shakey said before he turned back to his food.
"I can race for you Sammy." Christina offered which made Shakey spit out his drink.
"Since when can you drive?" He asked while trying to dry himself up. "There's a lot you still don't know about me Sam." Christina told him.
"Anyway when is this going down?" I asked. "Whoa, whoa, Lilly do you even know how to drive, I could take over fo-" Humphrey tried to offer but I cut him off. "No Humphrey, you've helped enough, I'm actually racing for you ya' know." I said then winked at him.
"*Gasp* See?! They totally dig each other." Shakey blurted out loud. Now the whole damn cafeteria was on our case, what's next, the whole school will find out?
We could here the whole halls mumbling while I was sinking into my seat in embarrassment.
"Since you don't like the attention were giving you, we'll just continue this after school. I didn't answer, instead I just sunk lower.
"See Snow Flake? Now you get to race for the respect you've always wanted." Christina said. I had already sunk so low I was now almost beneath the table.
"This isn't making her feel better Princess." Humphrey said making her blush for some reason. "Okay I'll stop, and don't call me Princess." Christina said, making Shakey's jaw drop. Then the bell rang. "Anyway, see you after school Snow Flake." Christina waved before taking Shakey with her.
"I owe you big time." Humphrey stated out of nowhere which made me jump out from beneath the table, hitting my head in the process.
"Ow. What for anyway?" I asked rubbing my bruised head. "For taking the heat for me. I've done many street races before but never against another girl." He replied.
I pinched his arm then giggled at him. "Ow, what did I say?" He asked so innocently.
"Did it really take you that long to admit that you got a better side to you?" I asked. He just quirked his brow. "Ah never mind. We share the next class right?" I asked Humphrey.
"You mean the English class? Yeah I think so." Humphrey said as he checked his class schedule. "Then we better hurry!" I said as I started running to class. Humphrey followed not long after.
After School
Candu was standing outside the Ergo Room with Garth when Humphrey and I arrived. "I hear that you are racing with Christina for some reason. It better not be for Humphrey." Garth said with a laugh.
"Well actually-" Candu started but Humphrey cut him off. "This race is for respect." He said. I sighed in relief but that's what I wish the race was really for.
"Well either way I don't care, I only care that you all come back in one piece. Alright?" Garth asked.
"Yeah we will." I promised him. Just then, Christina and Shakey came walking to the room. "Well since you're all here let's tell you what's gonna happen: Since neither of you have a car, we will lend you a car from my mechanics shop. We will then close of the roads around the block to make this a good clean race today. There will be check points along the roads so you don't get lost during the race. That sound simple enough? Good. Now follow us to our van." Candu finished.
We followed Garth and Candu to their van. Shakey and Humphrey sat in the back (I felt sorry for Humphrey, he was in for one bumpy ride).
After about 14 minutes, we reached Candu's mechanic. Apparently they've planned this before hand and had already picked out our cars and had custom liveries and bodies. The song Tokyo Drift by Teriyaki Boyz was playing over the speakers.
My car was a custom Toyota Supra with a Violet Bouquet livery. "How did you know my-" I was cut off by Garth. "Thank your boyfriend for that." Garth said. I looked at him in confusion.
"What? I don't have... a ... boy... friend." I said I as I slowly started to figure out who and what Garth was talking about.
"Agh, whatever." I said with a blush. "There's no denying it now Snow Flake." Christina said as she got in her custom Chevrolet Camaro SS with a Maroon Queen's Crown livery.
"After today, I'm never gonna touch a car again until I'm 18." Lilly said as she entered her Supra.
"Okay now ladies. I know you're excited about your new toys but please bring them back in one piece." Said Hutch the mechanic. ("Hutch literally reminds of a mechanic"). "Aw, can we please keep 'em pretty please." Christina asked in a small girls voice.
Hutch let out a sigh. "I'll think about it, but just be careful, I don't want you two girls ending up like the last wolf I lended a car to." He said.
"Alright, when you wolves are ready, we'll head for the Sawtooth Main Road (at least I could get home quick after the race IF I don't get caught by the cops).
I revved up the Supra and I could tell that this car had a custom Turbo Tuning. If only my sister could see me now.
Humphrey, Shakey, Candu and Garth hot back to the van while Christie and I followed behind them.
We got the hill top of Jasper where the race start would be, only to find that just about all of the school had come to watch the race.
"What the hell?! I thought this was going to be a private race Candu!" I shouted over the comm-radio.
"What's the fun in a race if no one's here for the betting?" Candu said with a laugh. 'Damn this gonna be so embarrassing for me!' I thought as I looked at Christina who looked really calm, hell she was getting cheered on by the other wolves.
A wolf walked up between our cars and counted us down to the the start of the race.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize that there's nothin' left
'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long
That even my mama think that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk you know thats unheard of
You better know how you're talking and wherwhere you're walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in the chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
fool
I'm the kinda G the homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night saying paryers in the streetlight
We were gone at a speed that I couldn't believe. I was shifting gears so fast that I almost broke my hand. We entered the first corner and drifted at 120 Mph (Which is a dangerously quick speed to be drifting).
Been spending most their lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhh ahhh-ahhhhh-ahh-ahhh ahhh)
Been spending most their lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhhh ahhh)
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhh ahhh-ahhhhh-ahh-ahhh ahhh)
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhhh ahhh)
For a brief moment, Christina and I locked eyes then she kicked in her nitrous. I couldn't bring myself to use it just yet. I tried my best to catch her in the corners because that's where she slows down a lot.
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television withing got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money in my mind
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
Im 23 now, but will I see 24
The way things are going I dont know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
I caught up to her around the down hill road which passed the school. That's when I used by nitro boost. I slingshot straight past her. We were now, only 8 Miles to go.
Been spending most their lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhh ahhh-ahhhhh-ahh-ahhh ahhh)
Been spending most their lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhhh ahhh)
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhh ahhh-ahhhhh-ahh-ahhh ahhh)
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhhh ahhh)
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I got to learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they front, thats why I know my life is out of luck, fool
We were nearly at the finish, we could see the other wolves clear out for our finish. I saw that Christina's car had a greater top speed because I saw her slowly passing my car next to me. I then used the last of my nitrous tanks and burst past her Camaro.
Been spending most their lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhh ahhh-ahhhhh-ahh-ahhh ahhh)
Been spending most their lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhhhh ahhh)
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhh ahhh-ahhhhh-ahh-ahhh ahhh)
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
(ahhhhh ahhh)
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
(ahhh ahhh-ahhhh-ahh-ahhh ahhh)
(ahhhh ahh)
And there I went crossing the finish with Christie behind me. I never knew that I had it in me. I heard everyone chanting 'Flower Curve Queen' what ever the hell that meant.
Humphrey walked up to my car and gave a thumbs up. Garth was just shocked at our driving. Candu was counting the money he got from all the bets.
Christie drove up next to me and and rolled down the window. "See Snow Flake? You got the respect you wanted." She said as she pointed at the crowd chanting Flower Curve Queen.
"Right now I'm just tired and I wanna go home I'll pick up the money tomorrow." I said.
Humphrey got in the car and I just drove away.
"Humphrey, why don't you drive?" I asked him. "Well because I'm not legally allowed to duh." He replied sarcastically. I wasn't legally allowed to drive too but hey look at me now.
"You can park in my garage, I'll show you why I don't drive." He said in a dark tone.
We drove in the garage and exited the car. Humphrey then turned on the garage, lighting up the rest of the garage.
He then pointed to car on the left. God that was a beautiful thing.
"Is that a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Black Series?!" I asked getting really excited. There was nothing wrong with the car then I saw him walk to the front of the car. I walked to him only to find the worlds biggest hole running through the engine.
"My God... " I said as I investigated the hole "This was my dad's car. My mom and dad both died in this car. I used to have my own normal SLS but I scrapped it." I had this dark and intense feeling of despair when Humphrey said that.
"That car makes me feel like I have no reason to live-" I cut him off with a deep and passionate kiss.
"L-Lilly?" He asked, dumbfounded by the kiss. "Don't you ever say that you have no reason to live, especially when you've got a reason to live for me." I stated with a deep red blush.
"Let's go wash up, and tonight, I'm dishing out." I said before we left the garage.
Little did the two know that a wolf was watching them from across the street.
A/N: Sorry I took so long uploading this chapter, most of the time I couldn't even touch my phone because I came home tired from... you guessed it. Rowing practice. I also decided to spice the story up with street races but I had to shorten that scene.
Humphrey is with Lilly
ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD
