Epiloge
~Private~
I was so scared when we brought Skippah to the zoo vet. But Kowalski said it was for the best, and he was right, Skippah did get better, eventually. I went to visit him everyday, Kowalski and Rico too.
The days without Skippah passed slow, they seemed to drag on. No one really knew what to do with ourselves. I couldn't even pay attention to the Lunacorns!
Then Skippah woke up, I'll never forget it, I was so happy! Now he's home, where he belongs. Even though Skippah keeps telling me that Blowhole is still out there somewhere, probably plotting yet another revenge, I don't care. When I sit next to Skippah, when I look at him, they all see unimportant. The only thing that matters is now, that I get to be with Skippah, because when I'm with him everything is perfect.
~Skipper~
His eyes, they are the most beautiful blue, and his laugh, its contagious, that's what I thought those long days I was stuck in the vet's. Ugh. Those days were horrible.
He cant do anything I hate, even when he foolishly risked his own life to save me. I wish I could be angry at him for that, I cant hate him, although I am touched, and incredibly grateful. It's the utmost sacrifice, your life for someone else's. He's a warm bundle of happiness and warmth when I hold him and every time I feel special that he chose me.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't always this mushy, I blame Private for that, but not in a bad way. He's changed me, for the better I think, now I have someone to live for, I don't go running into danger blindly, now I have someone who will always be waiting for me, waiting for those precious moments we have together, those moments are the best of all. I feel blessed every second of the day and when I feel the thumping of his heart against mine I remember how much I love him.
