(You know how in some movies or TV shows it'll show the character sleeping and then he/she hears some things from a dream/nightmare that he/she keeps having? This would be one of those moments)

"RJ! Please help me!"

"No," said RJ in his sleep.

"I think I'd get more satisfaction watching you cry over losing her."

"No," he said, a little louder.

"Too late RJ. Much too late."

"No," a little more loudly.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

"NO!!" RJ jolted up, wide awake. When he woke up, he could still feel a lot of pain from Vincent's attack. To ease the pain, he laid himself back down. "Aw man," he said. "I thought I was a goner. Where am I?" After looking around, he realized that he was in the log. He let out a sigh of relief, knowing he was safe at home. He saw a ray of sunlight come through the log and realized it was daytime. Then he looked to his left and saw that a small plate of berries was put there for him. He tried to reach for them, but then realized that his left arm was in a sling. He would've tried to use his right arm, but then he would've had to move, and moving around too much hurt him. "Great, now I can have pains from a bear attack and hunger pains," he said. All he could do was just lie down and stare at the roof of the log.

Suddenly he heard someone come in. "Who's there?" he said. "YAY!! HE'S AWAKE!!" screamed the visitor. RJ chuckled a bit at the voice. "Hammy," he said. Hammy ran over to RJ and looked down at him. "How ya feelin?" he asked. "I've felt better, Hammy," replied RJ. Then he heard everyone else come in. "Uncle RJ! You're alive!" "Hey kids," said RJ. "You feeling okay, RJ?" asked Lou. "Just fine. It hurts to move though." "But at least you're okay," said Verne. Next was Stella. "Hey, tough guy. How're you doing?" she asked. "I'm okay everyone," said RJ. "You can stop worrying now." "I believe we have a right to be worried," said Ozzie. "Vincent is back and he almost killed you." "RJ?" That voice caught RJ's attention real quickly. "Is that Heather?" he asked. Everyone nodded. Tiger walked into the log with Heather on his back. Once they got over to RJ, Heather got off and knelt down beside RJ.

For a minute, they just stared at each other and said nothing. Finally, Heather broke down in tears and gave RJ and big but gentle hug. "Oh, RJ," she said. "Hey, don't cry," he said. "I'm alright, thanks to you." Heather just kept crying. "I'm so glad you're alive," she said. "I don't know what I would've done if you were dead." "Come on everyone," said Verne. "Maybe we should just leave these two alone for a moment." Everyone left the log, leaving RJ and Heather in their embrace. After awhile, Heather let go of RJ. "How long was I out?" he asked. "About 12 hours," she said. "Did you get any sleep?" he asked. Heather shook her head. "I wanted to be awake in case you woke up," she said. "Not even one ounce of sleep?" Heather shook her head again. Then they both heard RJ's stomach growling. "Uh, since I can't move…" Heather understood what RJ was saying. She reached for the berries and fed him one. "Thanks Heather," said RJ. "For everything." Heather looked at RJ and smiled. They both just stared each other for a moment. Both were lost in each others blue eyes. Finally, RJ spoke.

"Um, Heather?" he asked. "Yes, RJ," she replied. "Um, I was just thinking. Once I'm better and you're able to walk on both feet again, do you…." RJ was a little hesitant to ask. "What?" asked Heather. "Do you want to do something with me? Just me?" he asked. Heather blushed a little bit at RJ's question. "Really?" she asked. "Yes," he said. "I'd love to," she said. RJ was filled with happiness. "Really? Great! Ow." He felt pain in his body again. "Remind me not to scream next time," he said. Heather just laughed. "Well, I'd better go," she said. "Wait," RJ said. "What is it?" asked Heather. RJ was going to tell her something that he couldn't keep secret anymore. "Something's been bugging me. I've been having these nightmares lately, and it involves Vincent coming back." Heather looked at RJ with concern. "That's not the worst part," he continued. "What's the worst part?" asked Heather. RJ didn't want to talk about it, but he had to talk to someone about it. "You end up getting eaten," he said. Heather gasped.

"That's the worst part because I wouldn't want to live anymore if something like that happened to you. I care too much about you, Heather." Now Heather was really interested in what RJ had to say. "RJ, what are you trying to say?" asked Heather. RJ was silent for a moment. This was hard for him. "RJ, you can tell me," said Heather. "What I'm trying to say is…..Heather, I love you," he said. Heather was completely taken by surprise. "After you guys accepted me into the family, I guess I just started falling for you," he continued. "I don't expect you to love me back. I just wanted you to know that." The next thing that happened left RJ in a state of shock. Heather bent down and kissed RJ, not on the cheek, but on his lips. Heather also had feelings for RJ, ever since the day he showed up in their lives.

RJ was surprised by her action, but eventually kissed back. RJ had suddenly become the happiest raccoon on the planet. Then, there was a sudden flash of light. RJ and Heather immediately broke their kiss. RJ tilted his head up and Heather turned her head towards the opening of the log, where they both saw Bucky, Quillo, and Spike holding a camera. "Kodak moment!" they said, then ran off.

Both RJ and Heather were blushing so much that red covered their cheeks completely. "Remind me to kick their little butts when my foot gets better," said Heather. "No problem," said RJ. Heather looked back at RJ. "So, how do you feel?" she asked. "Aside from the injuries, I couldn't be any happier, thanks to you," he replied. Heather smiled. Then she lay down next to him and held him. Then they both fell asleep together as a couple.

Well, here's chapter 4. Is it good or bad? I want an honest opinion.
