I was not expecting THAT many reviews but OMFG Thank you everyone! Here's another fast update :D This is a pretty short chapter though because it's only got what Emily and Matt are doing. The Jecker part is bound to be a LOT longer :D :D :D Still not overly sure about how to write Memily... but anyway, I LOVE this chapter and I actually don't think any of you will be expecting what happens. Some of you might have seen it coming but eh. Don't worry though, none of the team get hurt... yet: Don't own anything except the plot and a few minor characters :D

Enjoy :D :D :D

Matt and Emily never did find that night cinema. Instead they opted for a peaceful horse ride down a deserted beach, watching the sunset together as their horses walked side by side.

"I've never seen a sunset this bright before." Emily thought aloud. "It's so beautiful."

Matt watched her instead of the horizon, glad that Connor wasn't around to ruin such a perfect moment. "Yeah, it is." he hummed never taking his eyes off of her.

She smiled back at him. "You're not even looking at it!"

"I've just found something better to look at."

Emily's cheeks grew pinker. Her eyes narrowed, looking out in front of her towards the end of the beach. There had been three words she'd wanted to hear out of him for a while now but he had never said them. She could see the words dancing across his eyes but she wanted to hear them, out loud. She smiled back at him. "I'll race you. To the end of the beach. If I win you have to tell me what your thinking."

His eyebrow raised as he pulled his horse to a stop. "And what do I get if I win?"

She laughed. "It's a surprise. Ready, go!"

Before Matt could react, Emily begun galloping down the beach, her hair flying out behind her and a victorious laugh escaping her lips. She had won before Matt had even gotten halfway. She looked over her shoulder at him and grinned.

He sighed when he reach her a few minutes later. "That was unfair. You already knew how to ride a horse."

"You should've known that!" she laughed. "Everyone had to learn in my time. There was never any cars or trains taking us from one place to another."

Matt just smiled warmly at her. The sun was settling behind her giving her an angelic glow. She was perfect.

"Okay...Tell me what you're thinking." Emily secretly crossed her fingers praying that he'd say those three words.

"I think I might-" Matt and Emily both turned towards the bushes behind them as a low growl echoed around them. "I'm thinking that doesn't sound like something from this time..." Matt said quietly as he slid off his horse. "If I told you to stay here, would you?"

Emily shrugged. "Probably not."

He sighed. "Didn't think so." He took the reins of his horse and tied it up against one of the trees. Emily quickly did the same. There was another growl and Matt carefully made his way through the trees and shrubs until he came across what was making the noise.

Emily opened her mouth to say something but Matt quickly covered it before she could say something. She shook her head, moving her hand away. "I think it's injured..." she whispered as she looked at the small therocephalian laying on the ground.

Matt sighed before slowly backing away out of the trees and hurrying back to the horses. Emily frowned. "We're not just going to leave it there are we?"

Matt shook his head as he got out his phone, praying to himself mentally that they had reception where they were. He sighed in relief when two bars appeared. He pressed speeddial and held the phone to his ear. "Come on Connor, pick up..." he glanced around while he waited. "Come on! Pick up!"

There was nothing. Emily glanced over at Matt and frowned. "Why did you call Connor first? Shouldn't you be calling Becker?"

"Connor's the one that brought an emergency locking device. I'm trying Becker now."

Thankfully someone picked up on the second ring. "Becker's phone, Jess speaking." Matt could hear the grin in her voice.

"Jess! Thankgod! Is Becker with you?"

"Yeah he's right next to me. Matt what's wrong?" Jess replied. Matt could hear Becker murmuring things on the other side of the line.

"We have a creature incursion by the south beach. It's possible there may be an anomoly around her somewhere. Did you bring the portable ADD?" Matt asked calmly, glancing over towards the trees every now and again to make sure nothing had changed.

"Um yeah. I'll put you onto Becker while I go find it." Jess murmured something to Becker before his voice suddenly came over the phone.

"What creature is it?"

Matt sighed. "We found a young therocephalian, we don't know where it's parents are. Emily thinks it may have been injured somehow."

"Have you called Connor or Abby?"

"Connor never picked up. And I'm guessing Abby's still with him at that bonfire." Matt replied, a little angry at the pair.

"Okay. We'll be there soon." Becker replied as he hung up.

Matt's eyes widened when he saw Emily putting together various parts of a small EMD. "Where the hell did you get that?"

She grinned. "You can never be too prepared in our line of work." She tossed it over to him and begun putting another one together. "I had a feeling something like this would happen."

Matt strode across the small distance between them and brought his lips to hers. "God I love you right now!"

Her grin widened. "You love me?"

He nodded. "Definitely." He gently took her hand in his as they both wandered back into the forest with their EMDs at the ready.

Plot twist :D
