Chapter 18:

Whitney felt reality slow down as she began to fall. She could clearly hear the wind rushing in her ears, Greg's desperate cries, the call of her friends. Friends? She could her Diego and Crash and Buck. Eddie and Peaches. Aaron and Whitney. Manny and Sid. Her eyes flickered open, and suddenly something had her around the waist. She looked up to see Ellie's big green eyes, tears brimming the surface. Carefully Ellie hauled her back up the side of the cliff and unwound her trunk from her once she was on solid ground. Whitney was dizzy to say the least. She barely had enough time to realize what was happening before Chelsea had her in a tight hug.

"Oh Whitney! I was so worried and I've missed you soooooo much!" Chelsea said, her voice choked with tears. Whitney returned the hug, rubbing her sister's back comfortingly. Whitney was engulfed in hug after hug. Buck was second, hugging her briefly, and in the short time he did, Whitney whispered a 'thank you' to with he nodded in response. Crash gave her a short hug, shorter than Buck's. Aaron and Peaches gave her a group hug. Diego patted her back with his paw before Manny picked her up with his trunk, hugging her softly, not used to the show of affection toward her. Ellie gave her a warm hug. When the line of hugs finally stopped, she looked to see Greg and Eddie side by side. She smiled awkwardly at them. The possum she loved that had shattered her heart, and the possum she loved, solely because he helped put her heart back together.

Greg made the first move, coming toward her, and hugging her desperately. He didn't want to let go, and soon, Diego and Manny were having to pull him off of her. Whitney smiled embarrassedly before turning to Eddie. He walked slowly toward her, making sure not to cross an invisible line of some sort. He smiled oddly at her.

"Hi," was all he could say before Whitney was hugging him, tears running down her face.

"Eddiie, I've missed you SO much! You wouldn't believe what a living hell it's been without you! Greg helped, but he could never replace you! I know you don't feel the same way anymore, but I want you to know, that I love you," The sobs were unstoppable now as the tears flowed freely down her cheeks. Eddie grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her away at arms length.

"Whitney, I never stopped lovin you baby," He said.

"W-what?" Whitney managed to say.

"I thought it was best for you and me not to be together, before I realized…. You're da bomb!" He told her. Whitney giggled.

"Promise you'll never leave me again," Whitney pleaded. He nodded and pulled her back to him.

"I love you," he whispered in her ear.

"I love you more."

***

A few weeks had gone by, and everything was back to how it should be. Greg visited every now and then, sometimes bringing his new mate, Clara, and sometimes by himself. Eddie had asked Whitney to be his mate, and Whitney was on cloud nine for the rest of that week. Everyone was happy, and they were all one big happy family. Nothing was ever going to separate them. (Again)
