The group of wolves sat around laughing as the entertained one another. None of them paid any attention to Amy's absence, in fact they welcomed the silence and fun, but they did miss Midnight. He had been missing since last night and none of them had any idea where he had gone. But they needed him badly, especially after what Amy had said.

Monica leaned her head over on Mooch's shoulder and Lori doing the same to Salty, leaving Shakey to do nothing but sigh. He looked at the den and questioned going to talk to Amy, but he figured she was too angry to even try and reason with. He tried to keep his chin up and have a good time, but it was getting hard.

"What's wrong Shakey," Lori asked noticing Shakey's distraught appearance. He blushed and just shook his head.

"It's nothing," he said quickly.

"No it's not, at least it better not be, especially after the way Amy treated you," she said as her and Salty moved beside him.

"Wait that's it isn't it, Amy hurt your feelings," Salty said causing Shakey to tear up.

"Yes," he said choking back the urge to cry.

"I know I don't hear tears over there," they all heard a familiar voice say from behind them. They all turned their heads to see Midnight walking through the forest, but something seemed different about him.

"Aww did you miss me that much I was only gone for one night surely things didn't fall apart that fast," he laughed.

"Midnight!" they all cried excitedly. They rushed over to him and started nuzzling him but he looked around curiously.

"We appear to be missing someone. Where's Amy," he asked. They all gulped and looked back at the den.

"Well, she's in there, but I wouldn't recommend seeing her right not, she's kinda well, mad," Lori said quietly hoping Amy wouldn't hear. Midnight sighed and shook his head.

"How mad," he asked.

"Furious," Mooch replied.

"What happened," Midnight asked as if he was going to at least try to be stunned by the answer.

"The short version is me and Kenny went hunting and only managed a few squirrels and Amy is upset that we wouldn't let her have any more than the rest of us," Adam explained.

"We don't have time for this, let me talk to her," Midnight said as he walked over to the cave and saw Amy lying by herself in the back.

"Please go easy on her," Shakey whispered to him. Midnight chuckled and nodded.

"Don't worry buddy, I will," Shakey nodded in satisfaction and stepped back in case Amy flipped her lid again. Midnight walked into the den and sat a few feet away from her.

"What are we going to do with you Amy," Midnight asked rhetorically. Her ears perked straight up and she turned quickly to see him.

"Midnight you're back," she said happily but he was less than thrilled.

"Again Amy, again," he asked in disappointment. She blushed in embarrassment and tried to act like she didn't know what he was talking about.

"I've missed you so much," she said nuzzling against him but he was unphased.

"Amy, I know what happened. There's no use in trying to play it off, I already know. Now I'm in a pretty good mood and considering where I have just came from you don't want to get on my bad side. Now I'm going to say this once and once only, this rudeness, and 'superiority' thing ends now. Just learn to get along with the others for a few days. Please. I gave you my trust, and it's not like me to trust wolves I've only known a couple of days. Tell me, did I make the wrong choice by giving you my trust," Midnight pierced straight though Amy's eyes with his. He watched as small tears started to swell in them and she sniffled lightly.

"No, you didn't make the wrong choice. But-,"

"No buts Amy, you're my friend; all of you are my friends, including Shakey, Salty and Mooch. You're a wonderful alpha Amy there's no doubt about that, but I was taught that to be a great alpha, it never hurts to have a little omega in you," he nodded as he finished and turned to walk out without another word. As he sat at the edge of the den he could hear her starting to cry inside the den. He sighed feeling the guilt creep up in him.

He didn't mean to make her cry. But just then he hatched a brilliant idea. He looked to the right of the cave entrance and saw a very beautiful blue flower. He leaned down and carefully plucked it from its stem and walked back to Amy. She sat with her back to him, sobbing to herself.

"Amy listen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry," he said apologetically. She turned to look at him with massive tears pouring down her cheeks.

"Look, I'm really sorry about what I said, but I'm just tired of the fighting. I consider you guys my family, the only family I've had since mine were killed. Family will always come first Amy, not alpha, or omega, but family. All I was trying to do was keep my family from falling apart," she smiled slightly and shoved her head under his chin but he back away.

"Midnight, I have to confess something," she said as she tried to step towards him but he stopped her.

"You can tell me later, right now I have to give you this. Honestly, I don't think you deserve it seeing as how you treated him, but I'm going to give it to you just to open your eyes," Midnight placed the flower gently in her hair and she blushed lightly.

"Did you pick this for me," she asked.

"No I didn't. Shakey did, he was hoping it would make you feel better," I lied. Amy was speechless she didn't know what to say or do aside from sit there dumbstruck.

"Now come on, we've got a train to catch," Midnight said with a wide smile. Amy smiled and nodded, following him out of the cave.

'I knew he cared for me, I mean how could he not' Amy laughed to herself as she wiped away her crocodile tears. She looked over at Midnight, who had bathed just before he had returned she noticed.

Now all I have to do is get that loser Shakey to leave me alone and Midnight will be mine for the taking. Remember Amy, just be nice to them and Midnight will come around eventually.

As the two walked out of the cave the others were relieved to see that Amy's mood had improved, and that Midnight was still in once piece. They decided it was best that they get going while it was still daylight, and so with Midnight leading the way, they headed through the forest, with three new tag-alongs. Despite the cheery mood, something had been bothering them, all of them. Where had Midnight gone? Salty walked over to Adam and they talked for a few minutes.

"Where did he say he was going," Salty asked.

"He didn't. All he said was he was going to apologize to someone," Adam answered.

"But, he said that we were the only wolves he had seen in a long time," Salty added with confusion.

"Well why not just ask him," Adam suggested.

"Because it might be a touchy subject that he doesn't want to talk about," Adam replied.

"So Midnight, where did you go last night? You had us all worried sick," Lori asked, causing both Adam and Salty to gulp.

"Oh well I'm surprised it took you so long to ask. I had to go make an apology, to a few wolves who aren't with us anymore," he said with a shrug.

"It was your parents wasn't it," Amy said trying to sound sympathetic.

"Yes, it was," he said lowly.

"But, why did you have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong," Adam objected. Midnight laughed and shook his head.

"Oh but yes I did, I broke a promise to them, a promise I made to them two long years ago. But enough of that now, I can explain more once we get on the train," he said with a smile to them.
