Chapter 3: All of me (By John Legend)
Characters: Diego and Shira
Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Romance
Request: TimberPaw.

Silence rained on the Hyrax as the moon rose for it's duty to look down at all heavens creations. The sun set to sleep as the stars twinkled about, and Manny, Diego, and the others were settling down for the night. Sid built a fire in the heart of the island, and everyone was sitting around it, discussing about how they thought life was going to be like for them in their new home. The Brat Pack, Ethan, and Louis were there too as the little Hyrax's entertained them, expressing their thanks to Manny, Sid, and Diego for all they have done by doing several traditional dances, and telling funny stories of the previous encounters with Gutt and the pirates, while Sid listened and explained what they were saying through each of the parts. They were a little uneasy seeing Shira again, but when they were explained by Sid that she was now one of the herd, they knew to trust her and presented her a crown made of Roses and Daisies as a peace token and in hope of a truce, and, of course... peace. Which the feline happily accepted as they placed it on her head. Diego and Shira sat beside each other and watched it quietly as everyone laughed and cheered Louis on as he attempted to dance along with the Hyrax's. He sometimes ending up falling about, but it was only causing more entertainment for the group, and good memories for them all. Diego was bobbing his head in time with the music, before averting his eyes towards Shira. She hasn't said anything to anyone at that moment. He had heavy feelings for her, and invited her personally to join the herd. Shira took the opportunity not just because she had feelings for him too, but in hope that Diego will help her re-build her life with his honest, kind, and caring heart... gentle eyes... and... and...

"Shira?"

Her thoughts were soon interrupted by his voice...

She turned her head, to see those lovely eyes of his staring straight into hers. They were so full of concern. Was she crying? Was she talking to herself? She always did speak to herself while trying not to at the best of times, but when she couldn't resist, she only did so in deep thought and not aloud.

"Yes?" she asked. Gosh she loved those eyes so much...

"You feeling alright?" She heard his comforting voice again. She sighed sadly.

"Not... really..." She cleared her throat, "can we...um... talk? Privately?"

Diego nodded, and the two slipped away undetected from any one else.

It was a cool, starless night as the two sabers made their way to the beach.

There was a cool breeze that ruffled their fur affectionately as the two settled on the sand, watching the night slowly go by without them following them. The sea sloshed tiny waves towards them, and then ran back before it could sink into the sand properly, leaving its lost brehren behind, before repeating it and some joined the previous. Shira and Diego first started the conversation by talking about how beautiful the night was, before Shira recalled she used to looked up at the sky with question as a young cub.

"I used to look up to the star that floated the highest into the air," she told him. Diego nodded, listening to her, and nodding in agreement at the correct times. He used to be the same growing up. "And I always questioned the little things in life, such as who awaited in my future...

Diego noticed she was still unsettled as she continued to speak. Soon, he raised his left paw,stopping her almost immediately.

"Come on Shira, you can tell me anything." He said in concern. "I know something you aren't telling me."

Shira turned head away from him. She didn't realize she was stalling the fact she brought him here because she wanted to tell him about her feelings for him, and didn't realize she dropped a hint 3 sentences back.

"Look at me." She looked at him obediently.

"Tell me." He pleaded.

And she finally let it out. She had feelings for him. He looked at her in surprise.

"Really?" He asked.

She nodded, while she added; "And why? God knows," with a smile. Diego smiled back, before announcing he liked her too.

"And why?" He said, copying her. He continued to smile as he sang;

Diego:
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding,
I can't pin you down.

*Shira's eyes widened at the sound of his voice.*

What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me,
But I'll be alright

Shira:
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind...

*Diego leaned his head towards her. She did the same, and now their noses were touching.*

Diego:

'Cause all of me...

Shira:
Loves all of you.

Diego:
Love your curves and all your edges

Shira:
All your perfect imperfections

Diego:
Give your all to me

Shira:
I'll give my all to you

Diego:
You're my end and my beginning

Shira:
Even when I lose I'm winning

Diego:
'Cause I give you all of me

Shira:
And you give me all of you, oh

Diego:
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

Shira:
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

Diego
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges

Shira:
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me

Diego:
And you give me all of you, oh

Shira:
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

Both:
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me...
And you give me all of you, oh

They looked deeply into each others eyes as their song finish.

"I love you Diego." Shira said.

"I love you too." He replied.

And so, the two lovebirds rubbed noses before they retreated back where the others still were, enjoying the rest of their evening before going to sleep.

Knowing things were going to be different for them from now on.

TimberPaw's Comment:

"Thx for choosing my request. You did a really really good work. So now my new request:

All of me - John Legend
In my opinion this is the perfect Dira / Shiego song and I would prefer if Diego (and Shira) sing it simply the night after they arrived on the new island. I think the shore would be a great place to sing it or this big stone at the end of the 4th movie but I will leave it up to you. I know you will make a great story. ;) Hope you like this song too."

And I certainly did loved the song! Thank you so much! Again I had choose your request! All these song ideas are adding new taste to my style in music so thank you all! DonTheHero I want to use you're idea for 'my immortal' but when i listen to the song (and have for a long time now), but I see it as if it is for Jade's emotion release. So if you don't mind, could I be able to it for Jade instead? Let me know if you don't mind asap! If not, i'm sorry if this annoys you but i'll need a summary on your idea please :-)

So plz review, tell me what you think and hopefully the next chapter will come sooner then this one!
