Hello everybody Kitsune32 here with a new A&O short story. This is gonna be a NarsXDaria fanfic. Obviously it takes place after the fourth film and will be an AU from Young Love.

All the couples in the story will be present here except for Flora as she'lol be aged up and given to Tony and King still is in Banff but is reformed. This chapter will feature events that happened between the movie and the story and how Nars and Daria will meet. It won't feature much dialogue until late in the chapter either. Enjoy.

It was a cool late autumn afternoon in Jasper Park as some pups were playing outside of the Pack Leader's den in the Western Pack. These pups included Kate and Humphrey's three pups and Lilly and Garth's six pups. Runt and Claudette for Magril and Fleet to visit. Stinky's girlfriend, Artemis was away on vacation with her family.

Speaking of Magril and Fleet, Nars was walking his pups to the Western Pack to play with their friends. He was proud that his pups were growing up and dating other wolves... though he was still sad about this fact. Fleet and Magril were all he had after his mate Trixie was killed by a hunter. Nars knew that he would have to face reality soon once his pups move out, but for now he could enjoy the time he could spend with his kids.

When they arrived at Kate and Humphrey's den, Magril and Fleet ran over to their friends leaving Nars behind. Seeing that Kate, Humphrey, Lilly and Garth were there Nars was relieved that the pups would be supervised. He sighed in sadness before he left for home.

Meanwhile a certain she-wolf was taking a stroll with a porcupine. The she-wolf's name was Daria and the porcupince's name was Floyd. One would notice a flower necklace wrapped around her neck. After she joined the Western Pack, Daria's life became significantly better. She was allowed a normal den close to Runt's and his family's den.

Runt... she could never forget that name. Daria owed her life to the young pup after what he did for her over a month ago. She probably wouldn't be alive had it not been Runt. She actually felt like he was the younger brother she never had.

Daria began to think about her older sister Lois. (I'll tell you when the flashback is over so none of you guys get confused) It was a week after Daria was welcomed into the pack that she, Kate, Humphrey, Lilly, Garth and some other wolves decided to go back to Rabbit Poo Mountain and get some of the wolves out if they were unhappy with their lives.

When Daria and her new friends arrived at the pack, as expected, they were met with hostility. The new leader, Descole, refused to let the Western and Eastern Pack take some of their wolves, especially after what had happened to Head Wolf. He threatened to have them all killed where they stood.

However, Kate, Humphrey, Lilly and Garth were not frightened at his empty threats as all the wolves that came with them surrounded Descole and his minions. Realizing that he had no choice, he decided to let all the wolves who were miserable with their lives go to whichever pack they desired one of the wolves who chose the Western Pack was Lois.

After she joined the same pack as her sister, Lois started to spend more time with Daria. Even though she expected that Daria wouldn't know that she was her sister, it still hurt Lois that she couldn't be recognized as her sibling.

Then one day, Daria became a bit suspicious as to why Lois referred to her mother as "mom". At the time she didn't notice as things were going on but now that she was more relaxed Daria decided to question Lois. When she did, Daria was shocked that Lois was her sister. It never crossed her mind that she had any siblings.

After that Daria and Lois were almost always seem together. Daria didn't want to waste the opportunity of being with another family member.

Daria however would get another family surprise, except this time in her dreams. After Floyd and her went to sleep Daria dreamed she was in a field. Next to her was a brownish she-wolf. When Daria asked the mysterious stranger who she was, the wolf spoke. At that moment, Daria recognized her voice as that of her mother.

Daria's mother explained to her that she was the ghost that had protected all those years. All Daria could do was tearfully hug her mom. After they chatted, Daria's mom told her that she would go to Heaven now that she was in peace. Though before she left, Daria's mother gave her flower necklace and told her that she would always be watching her in Heaven.

Daria woke up and found the flowers around her neck. She realized that what she went through wasn't your average dream. Ever since those events transpired, Daria had felt a whole lot happier. She would normally be seen with a smile even the most toughest of guys smile.

(End of Flashback)

Back to the present, Daria and Floyd continued their walk through the Pack.

"Man the soil here feels a lot smoother than in Shadow Forest," Floyd said.

"Yeah and the air feels much fresher to breathe in," Daria said as she inhaled and then exhaled.

"Life here beats life at our old joint by a long sh-oh," Floyd stopped mid sentence for some strange reason.

"Something the matter Floyd," Daria asked.

"Yeah umm Daria nature's calling," Floyd said with discomfort.

"I told you not drink that much water before we left," Daria said.

"Do you think I know that woman," Floyd said as he ran to the best free he could find.

Daria proceeded to chuckle at her friend's scenario, "Honestly, that porcupine's gonna become a water balloon someday."

She decided to walk around a bit while Floyd was taking care of "business".

"I just love the smell of pinecones refreshing and so-ooofff," Daria couldn't finish her speech as she bumped into something... or should we say someone. The wolf she bumped into was none other than Nars himself.

"Ahhh, hey watch where you're going," Nars said. Thanks to his deep, masculine voice so Daria immediately deduced that the wolves was male.

"Hey Daria are you alright," Floyd asked with concern. "I heard a crash and I was worried something happened to you."

"Yeah she bumped into me with," Nars said with an irritated tone.

"I'm sorry about that," Daria said with guilt.

"Watch where you're going next time alright."

"Hey look buddy calm down," Floyd said with an even more frustrated tone. "My friend here is blind."

Nars looked at Daria's eyes and was shocked to find that her iris was a light grey. He immediately felt about what he said to a blind wolf.

"Oh sorry, I didn't know that you couldn't see," Nars said with extreme guilt.

"And yet you couldn't notice her eye color," Floyd said now almost angry. "You must be the world's biggest dumbass."

"Floyd calm down, he obviously didn't know about my condition," Daria said trying to calm her adopted porcupine parent down. "I'm Daria and this is my friend Floyd."

"I'm Nars," he replied. He noticed that Floyd still looked pissed off.

"Well it's nice to meet you Nars. Come on Floyd, I think it's time we get something to eat," Daria said as she Floyd walked away as Nars walked home as well... though not before Floyd lodged some needles onto Nars' hind leg. Floyd smiled before turning his head around.

"Overstuffed pin cushion," Nars said before walking home. Unknown to Nars, Daria looked back at him and smiled a bit.

And that was the beginning of Nars' New Love. Don't worry the romance in Chapter 1, which I'll try to have out ASAP. I'll try my best not to stem away from our main couple like I did several times in Young Love. Hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you later.
