Hey everyone! Sorry it took me so long to upload this chapter. The first year of high school must be the toughest experience for any kid to deal with. Between growing up, harder classes and all of the drama, the stress can take its tolls on you. But anyway, Chapter 2, as you can see, is WAY longer than Chapter 1 of A&O: A Different Perspective, mainly because I wanted to fit in everything from arriving to the new place to finding out where the wolves are in general and Kate and Humphrey's thoughts as well. Oh, and about this story's plot, I didn't tell the entire truth. It follows the movie's plot up until a certain point, and then the rest is an alternative ending that I will be writing from my own head, so look foward to that!
(A/N: This will most likely be the longest chapter in this story.)
In the meantime, without further ado, I present to you...Chapter 2 of Alpha and Omega: A Different Perspective!
Chapter 2: Where Are We?
Humphrey and Kate layed unconscious in the back of a red truck, in two seperate gray cages, oblivious to the fact that they were being driven away from their home in Jasper National Park. They traveled by plane, flying to an unknown place, with rivers, lakes and mountains. Now, they're on the back of another truck, in the two seperate gray cages. The blue truck rode across a short bridge above a river, still not showing any signs of slowing down. As the driver turned a curve on the dirt road, the truck hit a bump, shaking the wolves' cages.
"Ow!" Kate groaned, awaking inside of something dark and secluded. "Where am I?"
The cages vibrated again, making them bash against each other, before going back into place, side by side.
"Ohhhhh..." Humphrey groaned, inside of his own cage.
Kate's ears pricked up at the sound of her Omega friend. Her cage leaned against Humphrey's as she asked, "Humphrey? Is-is that you?"
'That voice...' Humphrey thought. "Kate!" he replied. "Where are we?"
Humphrey suddenly realized he was boxed inside of something small and dark.
"I don't know," she answered, a little worried.
'Oh, what am I so worried about?' Kate thought. 'Alphas are trained to handle any situation. I have to set the example for Humphrey, since he is an Omega. Wherever we are, I just hope it's not too far from Jasper.'
Humphrey thought for a moment about where they could possibly be. "Oh, maybe we're dead," he suggested.
The truck hit another large rock in the road, shaking the cages violently.
"OW!" they both shouted.
"Nope," Humphrey replied. "Definitely not dead."
Kate groaned again from the pain of being violently shaken inside of a cage.
"Well, at least they left us some water," Humphrey said.
'Seriously?' Kate thought. 'We're boxed up on the back of some human machine, and he's worried about...wait-' "You got water?" she asked, realizing she didn't have any.
Humphrey lowered his head to lap at the 'water' in the bowl, but quickly spat it out, realizing it wasn't what he expected.
"Nope," he gagged. "Definitely not water."
'Typical,' Kate thought, shaking her head. 'Someone has to take charge here. Might as well be me!'
Kate gathered her strength and rammed the wall of the cage with her side, making it bash against Humphrey's.
"Kate, what are you-doing?" Humphrey cried, feeling his cage move from an outside force.
Kate continued to struggle while saying, "Trying to get out!"
She charged at the cage's wall again, ramming her cage against Humphrey's once more.
"AH!" he cried, feeling the impact from Kate's cage. 'If Kate keeps doing that, she'll wind up hurting herself,' Humphrey thought, worriedly. 'Normally, it'd be me who would panic in this situation. Why is she so desperate?'
"Whoa, calm down," Humphrey assured Kate, trying to relax her.
Kate began to relax, still a little uneasy, and her cage leaned back into place beside Humphrey's cage.
"Listen, maybe they're taking us to where there's more food," Humphery added.
"Or maybe we are the food," she replied.
'Never thought of that.' Humphrey thought. "Kate, you're right," he answered. "Fight! Fight, fight fight!"
"Raagh!" Kate cried, as she continued to struggle inside her cage.
After a good while of riding, the blue truck finally came to a stop in the middle of a small dusty clearing surrounded by a forest full of trees, rocks and grass. Two humans, who were following the orders of one human who must have been their leader, lifted the wolves' cages off the back of the truck and set them on the dusty ground.
"All right. Set them free," the human commanded.
The two humans slid open the cage lids and Kate and Humphrey hastilly broke free from their respective cages. They landed on the ground and Kate began to dash ahead of Humphrey, since she was much faster than him in running, but that didn't stop him from trying to keep up.
"Woo-hoo! Look at 'em go!" the leading human said, watching the wolves run until they were both out of his sight.
Kate continued to run at a fast, steady pace, which was a little too fast for Humphrey's taste. He was silently begging her in his mind to slow down, but he refused to ask out loud. Humphrey didn't want to seem pathetic in front of...well...around an Alpha.
'Kate..., please..., slow... down!' he thought, still running to keep up with his friend. 'Can't...keep...up...Stupid...Alpha...School!'
Kate leaped over a fallen log and was now running through tall grass, at least a couple inches shorter than she and Humphrey were. She slowed her pace and finally came to a stop at the edge of a small cliff, exiting the tall grass, and glanced at the scenery around her.
"Wow," Kate breathed in amazement.
She could see a beautiful blue sky, mountains layered with snow in certain places, and trees far as the eye could see. It truly was an amazing sight.
"This isn't Jasper." 'It sure is beautiful, though.' Kate thought.
Humphrey, who had finally managed to catch up, walked up beside the female wolf who was enjoying the sights of this new place, trying to catch his breath.
"Yeah, but it sure does-"
Suddenly something small and round sped past the wolves' heads.
"-ROCK!" he finished.
They turned back around to find yet another rock heaading straight for them.
"Quick, get down!" Kate warned Humphrey.
He had managed to dodge the rock, but he was losing his balance on his hind legs. Kate hastilly, but gently, grabbed Humphrey's left ear with her mouth and pulled him down beside her, to avoid being spotted. They spotted two waterfowl and three porcupines standing in the middle of a large circle of grass that was obviously a lighter shade of green than the rest.
"What are they doing?" Kate asked.
Down Below...
The duck placed a golf-ball sized rock on the grass at the goose's side and the goose was holding a long stick that was carved in the shape of a golf club. He was lining it up, preparing for a shot. The duck stepped back and started talking into a small microphone-shaped stick, pretending to be some sort of announcer.
"What a smashingly brilliant story this is," he began. "The golfing goose from the low regions of the Arctic Circle is leading the pack."
Just then, one of the porcupines, the middle one to be precise, spoke up.
"He's usin' the wrong club!"
The golfing goose looked at the porcupine, irritated. His duck caddy gasped and turned his attention to the interrupting, prickly animal. The porcupine's buddies took a step away from him, leaving him in the middle and in the spotlight.
"Um," the duck began.
The porcupine gasped in surprise.
"Could you do me a favor, Needles, and, um, shut the hole that makes the words," the yellow fowl ordered, calmly, but strictly.
Needles hastilly did what he was told and closed his mouth.
Back With Kate and Humphrey...
"Looks like they're playing some sort ot weird game," Humphrey observed, laying down beside Kate, looking at the area down below.
"Maybe they can tell us how to get home," Kate whispered.
"Yeah, and if they can't, we can eat 'em," Humphrey suggested.
Kate turned towards Humphrey, starting to get a slightly mischeivious smile. "Yeah," she answered. "Follow my lead."
Kate stood up and took a few steps closer to the edge of the small cliff. She braced herself and leaped, performing a beautiful array of front-flips, before perfectly landing on the dusty clearing below on all fours. Kate started to take a few steps foward, looking back at Humphrey, as if taunting him.
'Let's see if he can do this without embarassing himself,' she thought.
Humphrey looked down at Kate from the cliff, surprised that he had to jump as well.
'Whoa!' Humphrey thought. 'Isn't this like a 20-foot jump?'
The Omega backed up, preparing to jump after Kate.
'Okay, Humphrey, you can do this!'
Humphrey attempted to jump, but his left hind leg lost its balance and he started to flail about.
'Humphrey, you are going to die...'
He couldn't hold his composure and he slipped. Humphrey was amazed that he managed to keep himself from screaming out loud, as he fell off the cliff and towards the ground. He landed, clumsily on his stomach, with a decent THUD, causing Kate to stop walking and turn her head around to look at Humphrey. By that time, he had managed to quickly bring himself to a sitting position and he stood up on all fours, starting to walk towards Kate like nothing happened.
"Yeah, I'm right behind you."
Kate turned back around, shaking her head, as she began to start walking again.
'Nope, still embarassed himself.'
Making sure that Kate wasn't looking at him, Humphrey stopped and tried shaking the pain off of his aching legs, as he began to follow the Alpha.
'Note to self: NEVER do that again...'
Humphrey and Kate followed the dusty path, that was surrounded by several pine trees and large rocks, making their way to confront these strange birds...
"Now you will see this shot is mine," Marcel, the golfing goose, said, as he tightened his grip on his wooden golf club.
He swished his small feathery tail, raised the golf club over his head, and...WHAM! Marcel swung his club, making contact with the makeshift golf ball, sending it flying through the air (even though the pin was only several yards in front of him...). His duck caddie, Paddy, flew up beside him, praising his shot.
"Ooh, splendid!" Paddy praised. "Wonderful hit, sir."
The rock flew through the air and landed in a carved wooden log, quickly sliding out because of its elevation on top of a large rock. The rock golf ball continued to soar through the air, now going in the direction of Kate and Humphrey. The she-wolf gasped and weaved to the side, dodging the pebble, while Humphrey jumped up, from surprise.
"Whoa!" he cried, barely dodging the rock, as it whizzed by his belly fur.
Humphrey landed and lowered his head down to look under his belly. Once he saw that no damage had been done, he began to relax, his tail lowering as well.
"Phew!" he breathed in relief.
As the ball continued to fly through the air, it rolled off an arched tree branch, bounced off a rock-embedded water fountain, bounced off yet another tree branch, shot by a bird (causing it to unintentionally bam its head on a towering thick tree branch), and bounced off a blue portable restroom.
"Just a minute!" someone cried from inside, assuming somebody must have knocked on the door.
Apparently, the porcupines thought this was funny, as they began to laugh, but instantly stopped when they were silenced by a hand motion from Marcel. He pointed at the incoming golf rock, and after a few seconds, it zoomed through the porcupine's prickly backs, bounced off the ground, under Paddy's foot, as he jumped up, and the ball made its way inside a hole in a nearby tree. The rock plummeted to the bottom of the tree and began to roll out onto the green blades of grass. The porcupines all lifted their feet in unision, allowing the ball to pass by onto the green, the lighter area of green grass.
"It's ugly, but a good runner," Paddy commented, as he watched the golf-ball sized rock, steadily roll towards the pin.
The rock rolled closer and closer towards the red and white pin, until it was only inches away from the pin's hole. Paddy waved his wings impatiently, silently urging the rock to keep going. Then, out of nowhere, a small black and white bird with red hair, flew down and stopped the ball with it's foot and began to peck at it, breaking the rock into a small pile of debris.
"Aaaaah!" Marcel screamed in disbelief. He turned to his duck caddie and frantically waved his feathery arms. "Did you see that?" he demanded. "Did you see that?"
"I guess the birdie ruined your Birdie," he replied, cooly, yet jokingly.
"Ha-ha, very funny," the golfing goose laughed sarcastically.
Marcel pointed at his duck caddie, threateningly. "Now, you mark it "Birdie" because it would have gone in," he ordered, snatching the thick toothpick marker from Paddy's left wing.
"Technically, sir, it might have gone in," the yellow fowl corrected him.
"That silly bird stopped my shot from going in," Marcel insisted, trying to work his way around Paddy's arms to mark his score. "So, I will not take an extra stroke."
The goose's duck caddie was now pressed against the tree on his back, his webbed feet struggling against Marcel's chest.
"Mark it Birdie!" he pressed on.
"Well, it...It was an obstacle," Paddy said, as he finally managed to push Marcel off with his feet. He front-flipped, landing on the goose's neck, snatched the toothpack back from Marcel, and performed an array of backflips, before gracefully landing on the soft grass on both two feet. "And everyone has to play with the obstacles," Paddy explained, before tossing the toothpick into his mouth, and swallowing it.
The golfing goose continued to stare at his duck caddy.
"You know, we wouldn't want to lie," Paddy reminded him.
Marcel seemed offended by this. "This is not a lie," he insisted. "This is not a lie if you are French."
"Well, French-Canadian," the duck corrected. "There's a slash, a hyphen, in between there."
"I say French."
"-Candian."
"French."
"-Canadian."
"FRENCH!"
"-Canadian, sir," Paddy finished. "May I just say, though, that you are a wonderful golfer," he complemented.
"Mercy," Marcel chuckled. "And you are a very good caddie."
Unknown to him, however, Kate and Humphrey were slowly walking up to them. Paddy's eyes widened in fear, for he saw the wolves. He shivered in fear before finally flying up. "Take off!"
Marcel looked in the direction of the tree to find Paddy flying away.
"Paddy, what is wrong with you?" he questioned.
The porcupines ran off as well, afraid that they were going to become wolf food. Marcel's question was soon answered as he saw two strange shadows and felt two figures looming above him. He slowly leaned his head backwards to see a gray male wolf and a golden-yellow furred female wolf.
"Ah, hello," he nervously greeted them.
Humphrey and Kate politely smiled at the goose, as he chuckled nervously.
"You are two wolves," Marcel acknowledged the pair. He turned his whole body around so that he was completely facing the two. "I have not seen many wolves in these parts. But I am not afraid of wolves. No (chuckles). I like wolves."
Humphrey and Kate exchanged a short glance with each other, before Humphrey spoke.
"Good," he started. "'Cause we just want to ask you a few qusetions."
"Oh, yes," Marcel said. Then he quickly pointed in the direction behind the wolves. "Quick! Look behind you!"
Humphrey and Kate both looked behind themselves, slightly confused. The golfing fowl jumped up and bashed the wooden golf club against the top of Humphery's head, who let out a groan of pain. He took this chance to start running away. Humphrey quickly looked at Kate, who returned his stare with a determined glint in her eyes.
"Grab him!" she urged him.
Humphrey didn't argue as he dashed after the brown and white bird. He grabbed onto Marcel's foot with his teeth, as the bird was taking flight. Being that Omegas weren't that strong, Humphrey was being dragged by the goose's resistance of being pulled down.
"So, you want to face the French Resistance?" Marcel challenged the wolf, looking behind him.
"That's French-Canadian!" Paddy shouted from a nearby tree.
"Whoa, my butt! My butt! My butt!" Humphrey shouted, muffled, as he got dragged past the area where Kate was standing.
The Alpha lowered her head and sighed in an annoyed tone, suddenly wondering why she told him to grab the bird instead of doing it herself. "Omegas..."
Humphrey kept a firm hold onto Marcel's foot, as he felt his footing on the grassy ground become limited more and more, until he couldn't feel the ground anymore.
"This is not a game, anymore!" Marcel told Humphrey, flying from left to right, trying to dodge branches that hung down from towering trees.
'I've always wanted to fly, but this is ridiculous!' Humphrey thought. 'And, ughh! This does NOT taste like chicken!'
"Don't you wash your feet?" he asked the golfing goose.
Marcel continued to weave from left to right, dodging oncoming branches, much to Humphrey's relief. The Omega felt his heart rate speed up and the pumping of his adrenaline skyrocket. Sure, he felt this kind of rush when he went went log-sledding with the boys, but that, he had control over (most of the time). This was totally different, it was an all or nothing situation.
"Look out for the trees!" Paddy warned. "Watch that-"
"OOMPHH!"
Too late. Marcel had managed to knock the breath out of Humphrey by swooping him into a branch that was under himself, but at just the right range to ditch the wolf with a a pain in the gut.
'Just when my stomach had stopped aching,' Humphrey thought.
"Nice one sir," Paddy complemented, as he continued to follow from behind the two.
'I've been embarassed long enough!' he thought, gaining conifidence, all that he could anyway.
Humphrey managed to pull himself up to temporarily stand on the branch and leaped after the goose, once more.
"Gotcha!" he cried, as he latched onto Marcel's feet by holding on with his front paws.
Marcel looked back at his pursuer, but Humphrey realized too late that the look the bird was giving him wasn't a look of surprise.
"Hahaha!" Humphrey boasted. "Who's winning the game, now-" 'Ohhhh...'
"Ha-ha-ha!" It was Marcel's turn to laugh now.
"Oh, no!"
A large patch of purple thorned vines came into Humhrey's view and he knew this wouldn't end well. Humphrey winced in pain as the vines scratched and scraped the skin under his furry cover, as the goose continued to carry him. They exited the vines, Humphrey still clinging on for dear life.
"Oh, that's gotta hurt," Paddy implied from a tree.
'Really?' Humphrey irritably thought.
Humphrey looked back at the thorned vines, surprised he was able to come out in one piece, with no visible scratches.
"How do you like it now, WOLF?" Marcel said, looking back at Humphrey, emphasizing the word 'wolf'.
Humphrey turned his head back around and looked underneath him to see a body of water. He tried to act against the goose's pull by paddling his feet in the aqua blue water.
'This can't possibly get any worse!' he thought.
The Omega continued to paddle through the water with a struggle until...
"AH!" he yelped in pain, coming to an abrupt stop.
The golfing goose had caused Humphrey to run straight into a rock, but that was the least of his problems.
'Ow, god-dang it! I definately felt that!' he almost sweared in his mind.
Where he got hit, the one place that guys try to avoid getting hit, was what he was in pain about. Humphrey whimpered in pain softly before Marcel pulled him up from the rock with a jerk, continuing their flight.
"Hole in one, sir!" Paddy said, standing on a rock that was beside the one Humphrey got hit.
"Whoa!" Humphrey made sure that he kept his lower region out of the way of any upcoming rocks that jutted up from the water.
"You have bitten off more than you can chew this time, my friend!" Marcel told the almost terrified wolf that hung onto him.
Humphrey knew he was right. Him and his buddies could break up fights, but he knew all too well that he couldn't get out of sticky situations by himself, especially this one. There was only one thing left he could do.
"HELP!" he screamed.
Kate followed the three from afar, her feet creating a rhytmitic pattern on the ground, as she ran past trees and rocks, determined to not let any of them out of her sight.
Humphrey manuevered his way around a dead log that was in the water and was now aware of Paddy flying beside him.
"My goodness. I...Look out for the..." the duck stammered, pointing to a lone moose standing in the river not too far ahead of them.
'What the-' Humphrey thought. 'Geez, you gotta be kidding me!'
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!" he repeated, as Marcel continued to pull him, heading straight in the direction of the moose's rear end.
"Oh, he's a goner for sure," Paddy said.
The moose was chewing on some grass that had grown on the rock, until he felt something hit him. The animal looked up, only to find Humphrey standing on his antlers.
"Ah, ha-ha-ha," Humphrey chuckled nervously.
His feet were locked in place; Marcel struggling to break free. Humphrey could feel his back paws slipping from his firm hold on the moose's head. Marcel gave a final tug and Humphrey lost his footing, as well as his grip on the golfing fowl. He was sent flying into the air doing a slow frontflip in the process. Humphrey flew straight into a small flock of blue birds that were flying through the clouds in the eastward direction.
"Wait, what are you looking at?" Humphrey questioned the birds as they all tweeted in unision, staring at the wolf that was seemingly flying alongside them.
"What are you looking at?"
He then noticed that one of the bluebirds seemed familiar.
"Oh, hey, Frank."
Marcel came back into view in front of him and Humphrey wasn't going to pass up this chance. He scrambled to get a grip on the bird by scratching away at Marcel's back with his claws, who let out a yelp of pain. Humphrey managed to get a grip on the goose's wings and spread them out, causing them to start descending, preventing the bird's flight. The two looked down below to see the water and the ground coming into a dangerously close view. Marcel kicked Humphrey in the face, causing him to lose his grip, but he quickly regained it by grabbing Marcel's feet with his front paws. The fyling pair flipped uncontrollably towards the ground until they finally made contact.
SPLOOSH! Mud spattered up from the large puddle that Marcel was now laying in. Humphrey must have somehow gathered enough strength that he didn't know he had to slam the goose down in the sludgy dirt, just when they were about to land; hence the reason that he was standing in front of Marcel, clean and on all fours.
'Game. Set, and Match,' Humphrey thought, tiredly.
"Okay," Marcel said from the ground. "You 'ave a question?"
"Yeah," a new voice answered.
Humphrey and Marcel looked up on the higher level of ground to see a serious looking Kate.
"Where are we?"
"Idaho?" Kate asked in shock, looking at the two waterfowl in disbelief.
"Ida-who?" Humphrey asked, seemingly trying to be humorous, when he seriously didn't know where they were.
"Qui, Idaho, land of mountains, rivers, lakes..." Marcel answered, while showering himself in the water of a water fountain that was attatched to a small, green wooden building, consisting of a map on the front wall that was above the water fountain, supposedly the park ranger's outhouse.
Humphrey and Kate continued to give the goose confused looks. The alpha didn't seem satisfied with such little information.
"and a few billion potatoes." the goose finished.
'Well, that helped...' Kate thought, sacrastically.
Out if nowhere, Paddy came up in front of the two wolves.
"The Sawtooth National Wilderness," the duck added.
"What are we doing in Idaho?" Kate demanded.
"You were relocated to, um..." The duck chuckled mid-sentence before finishing slyly. "...repopulate."
"AHH!" Kate exclaimed, wide-eyed, obviously against the idea.
She then became slightly creeped out when she moved her eyes to see Humphrey staring straight ahead at seemingly nothing, with his mouth open, his tongue hanging from his mouth. It seemed that he liked the idea, contrary to herself. This caused her to briefly think about something she had put off until no time in particular. Humphrey was always happy to be around her and always tried to cheer her up when she was down. Sure, that's what friends did for each other, but the way Humphrey did it in such a caring way made her think. Not to mention that, before she left for alpha school, Humphrey was pretty sad, obviously because he didn't want her to leave. But she had noticed at the corner of her eye, when she had given him a soft hug in hopes of cheering up her friend, she saw that the young Omega was blushing slightly, while in her embrace. Could Humphrey possibly...?
'Nah, I'm just thinking too much,' Kate thought. But she soon had doubted that thought. 'But, could Humphrey really like me?'
Kate realized that, for a quick second, she had softened her gaze a little at Humphrey, but she quickly shook off her thoughts and changed her expression from thoughtful to slightly disturbed again. She knew she had more pressing matters on her paws right now, like for starters, how they were going to get back to Jasper. Furthermore, it was against their pack law for an Omega to have a crush on an Alpha, and vice-versa. She used her right paw to push Humphrey's chin up, closing his mouth, but that didn't stop him from a having a large grin on his face, still in some kind of trance. The Alpha turned her gaze back towards Marcel, noticing he was still rambling on about the subject she was rejecting.
"They want you big wolves to make a lot of little wolves," Marcel said, chuckling slyly with his duck caddie who had appeared beside him.
Humphrey, who must have finally exited his trance, started to speak again.
"Well, sounds good to me," he said, obviously liking the idea. "Park shouldn't be without some wolves. I mean, only for the good of the park." As he finished, he gave Kate a sly look look, his eyes the definition of teasing. Kate returned his gaze with a stern look, but not necessarily a glare. It was sort of like the look a mother would give her child if he/she wanted something and the mother said no. That sort of look.
Humphrey had always dreamed of possibly cuddling with his attractive friend, the feeling of her soft body pressed closely to his, was enough to drive him wild, but Humphrey never thought about...doing things with her. Well, maybe once. But both possibilities seemed fairy-tales away from him.
"So, you two are undomesticated partners?" Paddy asked the two, chuckling, his green eyes gleaming with mischief.
"Paddy, please. Don't be rude," Marcel told his caddie, now drying himself under a hand dryer that was close to the water fountain. He turned to the wolves.
"So, you two are..." The goose stuck his head inside of the dryer, muffling the last part. "Boyfriend, girlfriend?"
Humphrey and Kate looked at each other confused, not understanding what he had asked. Marcel brought his head back out from under the dryer, making sure they heard what he said next.
"You are an item?" Marcel asked the pair, chuckling.
"Well-" Humphrey began, before being cut off by Kate, having his mouth closed shut with her paw again.
"No." she finished for him.
Marcel spread out his wings, letting the dryer work its drying magic on his feathers.
"You wolves, you are funny," he said, before all of his feathers fluffed up, making him appear almsot twice as big as he usually was.
Humphery couldn't help but let out a small chuckle and smile at the goose. He looked kind of funny like that. Kate couldn't help but agree for a brief second, before her Alpha insticts took over. She let a long sigh. Kate didn't have time for games.
"We have to get home, now," the she-wolf urged. "There's going to be trouble if I don't get back to Jasper."
"All right, all right!" Humphrey replied, surprised by his friend's sudden need to get home. "You're freaking out."
"I'm not freaking out," Kate defended herself. "I just have to get home."
Marcel and Paddy walked in between in the two, momentarilly cutting them off, making their way toward the nearby green park bench.
"Is this about Barf?" Humphrey teased.
"It's Garth," Kate shot back. "And it's about responsibilities. So I wouldn't expect you to understand."
As Kate fininshed her last sentence, she walked away from Humphrey.
"Hmph," Humphrey said to no one in particular, shrugging off her comment.
Kate walked up to the park bench, seeing Marcel lying on the top of it, on his stomach, his body turned opposite from her and Paddy walking towards him.
"Can you help me?" she asked the Marcel. "I need to get home, fast."
"Alright, Miss Fast," he joked, turning his head towards the wolf.
Paddy walked onto the golfing goose's back and jumped up a little, then came back down, cracking Marcel's back.
"Ooooh!" he let out a groan. "Where is home sweet home?"
"Jasper Park Canada."
"Jasper Park?" Marcel asked surprised, as Paddy stretched his neck. "Get out of here!" Paddy cracked the goose's neck to the left.
"We love Jasper Park!" Marcel finished.
"Oh, yes, yes," Paddy chimed in, cracking Marcel's neck once more. "We've toured it many times."
"Paddy, please," Marcel silenced his caddie. "We've toured it many times."
"I dated a pintail from Jasper once," Paddy continued, as he cracked Marcel's neck once more, the top of the bird's head now facing the top of the bench. "She never stopped quacking. Drove me nuts."
"Drove her right to me, heh, heh!" Marcel chuckled. "Bound to happen. Bound to happen."
Kate sighed. These guys really were as crazy as they looked. "So, you can help me then, get home."
"We haven't played Jasper in quite a while," Paddy replied, his face seeming to light up with excitement. "I think it would be a smashing idea." The duck pulled Marcel's right leg back, causing it to crack.
"OWWWW!" Marcel loosened his neck on his own, from the pain of his now throbbing leg.
"Oooh," Kate mouthed, closing her eyes, tightly. That had to hurt.
"This is true," Marcel said. "So, of course I will help."
Humphrey walked up beside Kate, realizing things were working in their favor.
"I like you two," Marcel continued. "You make me laugh."
Kate and Humphrey smiled at him, silently thanking him.
"And you didn't eat me, so I owe you a favor," Marcel smiled at the wolves sheepishly.
Paddy walked back towards Marcel's feet and pulled his leg again, cracking it.
"OWWW!"
'Ow, now that's definately gotta hurt,' Humphrey thought.
'This is going to take longer than I thought...' Kate thought, bitterly.
But hey, at least they had a start on how to get back home. Right?
Chapter 2 of this fanfic done! Hope this chapter wasn't too long for you guys. I wanted to fit in everything from Humphrey and Kate first arriving in Idaho and meeting the fowl pair, Marcel and Paddy, to learning the real reason they were brought there in the first place. Will Humphrey and Kate be able to find a ride back to Jasper quick enough to stop possible war? Next time on Alpha and Omega: A Different Perspective: "A Road Trip Short Lived". It seems that Kate is getting suspicious of Humphrey's feelings for her. Will he get found out? More importantly, hat ever happened to Liliy, Kate's younger sister, the howl impaired Garth, Humphrey's Omega pals, and most of all, Kate's parents? The tension builds, next time on A&O: A Different Perspective! Be sure to remember the 3 R's: rate, review, and remember the story! See you next time!
(A/N: I'll try to update faster next time.)
