Vantulijust was on the edge. DJ ran through the woods trying to find werewolves to kill, just to make sure they didn't get near the farm. He kept worrying that one day they would show up and not even he could stop them. He sometimes wondered if the darkest past enemies put them on Earth. Around Montana's border had been the worst place werewolves had been in Vantulijust. Different seasons had different states. Werewolves were at different places.
The clock ticked 5:00 p.m. when DJ was distracted from his thoughts.
Daisy came in the room.
"Phone." she said.
"Alright." said DJ and went to the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, DJ." said a soft, polite voice that came only from Sasha LaFleur.
"Sasha?" asked DJ. "I haven't seen you in a while."
"Tell me about it." said Sasha. "It's been a whole year. How was your Valentine's Day?"
"I don't wanna be reminded of that." said DJ.
"I'm sorry." said Sasha. "What happened?"
"Abby's cousin was here and from where she had been a jerk four times, I accused her of being here to cause trouble." said DJ.
"Who's Abby?" asked Sasha.
"Do you remember the cow with blonde hair and a pink bow?" asked DJ.
"Vaguely." said Sasha. "The last time you were over here, I focused more on your blue eyes." she said jokingly. "Yes, I remember." she said seriously.
"That's her." said DJ.
"I see." said Sasha. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." said DJ. "So, how's things been in San Francisco?"
"Oh, you know it's great." said Sasha. "Little DJ is older. He can't wait to see you."
"Does Charlie even know you're talking to me?" asked DJ.
"It's possible." said Sasha. "But if he does, he knows we'll never get married. But that's the thing that hurts me. I can't be in a relationship with two guys. I also can't have long distance relationships."
"No one else can." said DJ.
"Will you please come back to San Francisco?" asked Sasha.
"Is there something wrong now?" asked DJ. "Is it Belladonna?"
"No." said Sasha. "I just want you here."
"You know I'd love to, but I can't if it's not a mission. Charlie will know why I'm really there." said Sasha.
"I've gotta go pickup my mom from the store." DJ lied. "I love you." he said with tears in his eyes.
"I love you too." said Sasha with tears in her eyes.
"Goodbye." they both said at the same time and hung up.
DJ looked at the floor as his tear fell from his face. A sort of swirl began and DJ thought of the times he'd had with Sasha, including when they met in Scarlett Temple, Georgia. Then he thought of Meant To Live by Switchfoot.
"Why did you ever think you could have a relationship with a dog?" asked Daisy.
"Daisy, get off my case." said DJ.
"I understand." said Daisy, putting her arms around his neck.
"Dance with me." said Daisy. "Feel better." she said with a smile.
So he put his hooves on her waist and they began slow-dancing.
It took a while until his mind was off of it.
"I love you." said Daisy.
"I love you too." said DJ.
The two kissed as they slow-danced on the barn floor.
