Couples –A Dinosaur Train fanfic

Chapter 7-Wrapped Up

Summary: I saw the episode Shiny and Snakes and when I saw an image of a Sanajeh snake and a Troodon shown together, the idea for this fic happened.

Gordon Troodon was humming to himself pleasantly as he was walking into the forest and towards his home. Another work day in the library done. He worked as the librarian of the Dinosaur Land library. Cataloging books, helping other creatures find books, and every other task involved with being a librarian.

The ride home on the Dinosaur Train was a long one, but Gordon never minded. It was a nice and scenic ride. And now that it was over and Gordon was on his way home, he couldn't wait to see his wife Alana after a long day of work.

He approached the clearing which was part of his home and stopped. He smiled and when he spoke, his voice had a rich, smooth British accent.

"Ohhhhhhh, Alana darling! I'm home!" He called, his hand by his mouth.

Gordon looked around, but couldn't see his wife anywhere.

"Hmm, I'd thought she'd be here to greet me like usual?"

Gordon walked further into the clearing.

"Where on Earth could she be?"

Gordon stopped.

A few feet away from him were a wooden bowl and a wooden cup. He recognized them as his wife's.

"Alana?"

Gordon looked a little worried as he quickly came over to the wooden objects and stood before them. He looked up and called out his wife's name again.

"Alana, where are you? Please answer!"

As Gordon looked worriedly out into space, something was watching him from within the tall grass way behind him. A light hissing sound could be heard.

Gordon turned back for a moment. He saw nothing, but his heart was beginning to race. Panic immediately took over. He turned his head forward, and started running.

But it was to no avail.

A rustle of grass could be heard and something quickly made its way up Gordon's legs and wrapped itself around his body. Gordon fell to the ground. His arms were pinned down to his sides. He was helpless.

Gordon heard the sound of hissing and he froze. He knew that a snake was now wrapped around his body, and he was completely at its mercy.

The snake lightly hissed and slowly lowered its head closer and closer to Gordon's.

Gordon didn't move, he was paralyzed with fear. All he could do was look ahead of him and accept his fate.

The snake's head was now up to Gordon's left cheek. It hissed lightly one more time and then…it kissed Gordon's cheek softly.

"Welcome home, my handssssome hussssband."

Gordon smiled and turned his head back to face the big Sanajeh snake that had kissed him. He flashed her a charming smile.

"Thank you Alana, my darling and beautiful wife. It's indeed good to be home."

Alana chuckled and kissed Gordon on the lips.

"What a fun little game we play, whenever you come home." She said, rubbing her chin on top of the feathers on Gordon's head. She hummed pleasantly a little.

"Ah, yes. I come home, see your things on the ground, think you've been eaten, hear you in the bushes and assume you're a predator, run away, get caught by you, and get kissed on the cheek by you. What a weird and lovely game we play. We must be the weirdest couple on the planet." Gordon chuckled.

Alana pretended to be hurt and then smiled. "So what? We're weird, but in love."

"Yes, we are." Gordon said.

Alana smiled and kissed Gordon on the cheek again. She loved kissing his handsome face. "So how was your day, dear?"

"Oh, the usual. Stacking books, giving recommendations on the best books to read, stuff like that. I'd rather not bore you with the details."

Alana kissed Gordon on the lips again. "No, no, details please. Don't leave a single thing out. I love hearing about your day. Please, tell me how it went?" Alana said, batting her lashes at her husband.

Gordon smiled and chuckled. That was Alana's secret weapon, something she used to get Gordon to talk about or do something.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you every detail of my long and boring day." He said playfully rolling his eyes.

Alana shook her head and rolled her eyes playfully.

"But could you please release me from your grasp?"

"But I thought you loved being wrapped up by me. I'm always gentle and make sure not to hurt you."

Gordon smiled and this time he kissed his wife on the cheek and lips.

"I do, dear, I do. But right now I'd rather tell you while standing up. How about we go for a walk and I tell you about my day?"

Alana smiled and nodded. She kissed Gordon softly on the cheek one more time and unwrapped herself.

Gordon stood up and smiled at his wife. Alana smiled back.

She gave him the end of her tail to hold in his hand and they began walking down a dirt path. Both sides were surrounded by tall grass and trees.

Gordon told Alana all about his day, and as requested by his wife, he didn't leave out a single detail.

"I helped one of the children find a book about T-Rex's and he was very glad. He thanked me for helping him find it. Such a bright and curious little T-Rex boy. And so well-behaved along with his Pteranodon siblings."

Alana saw the smile on Gordon's face and couldn't help smiling as well. She knew how much Gordon loved helping eager minds ready to learn, whether they were young or old, learn new things. Almost as much as the conductor on the Dinosaur Train.

"Okay if I come to the library tomorrow? See you work?"

"Of course, you're always welcome to." Gordon said smiling up at her.

Alana smiled back. She loved Troodons. She found them to be an interesting and charming species, and a species she was very fascinated with. Years ago, she never knew that her fascination with Troodons would end up having her happily married to one.

Gordon and Alana made it to their destination. A big hill overlooking the area which was their home. There were two long, flat slabs of rock. One lying on the ground while the other was on its side behind the one on the ground. Both were often used as a stage whenever Gordon and Alana had Dramatic Reading.

Gordon, finished with telling Alana about his day by the time they had made it to the hilltop, sat down on a rock and sighed pleasantly.

"You know dear, a cup of tea would be lovely."

Alana smiled. "I'll get to making it right now."

Alana made the fire and heated the tea. She handed it in a wooden cup to her husband and he smiled at her.

"Thanks, love." He said accepting the cup.

Alana chuckled. "You're very welcome, Gordon dear."

Gordon slowly drank the tea, enjoying each sip. He would occasionally pause and look down at the area surrounding the hill. The afternoon sun was shining down on the land below. He thought it was a magnificent view. He turned to Alana and smiled.

"Lovely view, is it not?"

Alana looked at it and then back at her husband. She smiled and nodded in agreement. "It is. Excellent observation, Gordon."

Gordon stirred his small wooden spoon around in his tea. "So tell me about your day, dear. What happened while I was gone?"

Alana blushed and looked away. Mostly down at the ground.

"Aw, you wouldn't want to hear."

"Nonsense."

"Gordon,"

"Alana."

Alana looked up from the ground.

Gordon had set his cup of tea down on a rock beside the one he was sitting on, his hands were on his knees as he was leaning forward a bit, and he had a curious yet charming smile on his face.

"Please tell me how your day went. I'm very interested to know. Please talk, I will listen."

Alana finally smiled. She loved that inquiring look on Gordon's face. It was his own way of getting her to talk about something, much like her batting her eyelashes to get him to talk.

"Alright then, Gordon."

Alana cleared her throat and began talking about how her day went while Gordon was gone.

She hunted a little and explored their home until she started to feel bored. So she decided to take a ride on the Dinosaur Train.

Alana's eyes lit up when she remembered something, something that she had wanted to tell Gordon about after he had returned home.

"Gordon dear, remember that T-Rex boy you were talking about earlier? Well, I saw him too, but on the Dinosaur Train with his family. They were going to meet a new creature. After meeting them, I asked if I could come along with them and they said yes."

She talked about what creature she had seen with them and how much fun she had had with them all.

"Sounds like you've had an interesting day." Gordon said with a friendly smile.

"I did." Alana said with a smile. "You know me, adventurous and always curious."

Gordon smiled back. "Ah, yes. I know. Reminds me of a night I met a curious snake like you. It was one night in Troodon Town when I was answering questions others had about troodons, and there was a certain female snake who asked a lot of questions. More than any other creatures in the crowd."

Alana blushed.

Gordon saw this and smiled. He continued speaking.

"She asked about a troodon's hunting habits, nocturnal habits, and just how much they know. I grew to liking her very quickly. We had a walk and talked about troodons for a bit. And then by the end of the evening I agreed to go out on a date with her and now today," Gordon smiled. "I find myself happily married to her. And what a wonderful five years of marriage it has been."

"Oh, Gordon." Alana smiled.

"Oh, Alana."

Alana slithered over and she and Gordon happily hugged. His hands on the back of her snake neck. The end of Alana's tail on Gordon's back.

"I love you." Alana said softly.

"I love you too, dear." Gordon said softly back.

So after tea, Gordon stood up on the rock and read a story aloud from one of his favorite books. Often holding out his hands and doing other gestures as he read the story. Alana sat down before the rock-like stage and listened, becoming lost in Gordon's words and the lovely sound of his voice.

When Gordon was finished, the tow found that the sun was setting. Finding themselves to be feeling very hungry, they decided to walk back down and have dinner.

It was night as Gordon and Alana made their way to their nest for bed. They smiled at each other and kissed.

Alana slithered up Gordon's legs and gently wrapped herself around his body. Gordon slowly laid himself down on his side in the nest.

"Goodnight, Alana." Gordon said kissing her on the cheek. Alana smiled lovingly at her husband and kissed him on the cheek back.

"Goodnight, Gordon."

She rested her head on top of Gordon's and closed her eyes. Within moments she was asleep.

Gordon chuckled to himself as he lay wrapped up by his wife. "Yes, we're an interesting couple, aren't we?"

He closed his eyes as well and then he too fell asleep.

THE END

This is the first story I've written for Couples that has two OC's as love interests for each other. Hope you enjoyed!
