(dont take it down, the slightest of adult references effecting sleep of other wolves)

All was quiet in jasper the exact month after the metal festival and the sharp quick ending of humphrey and Kate's second honey moon. The sun rose over the valley, like a shield protecting all who dwelled within with its special burning light. Humphrey awoke from his bed seeing kate underneath his body, peacefully breathing, eyes fluttering as she dreamed. A few laughs, giggles and gafauls came out as she lye there unaware of Humphrey's wonderment as to what she was dreaming about.

Feeling great in himself humphrey wondered outside onto the "patio" like den balcony sat down and took his first deep breath of the day; inhale! exhale! Humphrey stood watching his territory, being the leader of the pack was no easy task but managable with kate by his side.
Humphrey looked back round to see kate lying on her back, staring at Humphrey in a playful way.

Humphrey: "morning kate, my love and my sunshine" he said with a smile. "i didnt mean to wake you so early"

kate: "thats ok, im glad you did, the caribou are migrating again so i need to be up ready and early." she said whilst getting quickly up and running outside onto the balcony to join humphrey.

kate sat down right next to humphrey, their shoulders bracing each other symbolising to the wolves the unbreakable bond and love of a commited and enduring relationship. kate rested her head on humphreys shoulder. Humphrey looked down at kate with loving, caring eyes, thinking to himself again about how lucky he was that everyhting turned out the way things did....and thats when his thoughts turned to what could of happened if things turned out different.

(VISION)
Humphrey could see it all, all the differences that could have been if kate said "I DO" when garth tried to marry her for the good of the packs. Humphrey could see the exact same morning, the exact same beautiful sun rise, the exact same jasper park, except this time he was alone near the river, staring longingly at his own reflection glancing round to the den leader balcony yearning at kate as she sits there with garth, paw in paw. The soft wind blowing softly through the valley as peace reighned supreme. Humphrey sees himself crying endlessly into the river. Finally he can no longer face life and from the edge of the cliff the next morning from the enbankment looking onto the river he takes one long angonizing howl and jumps to his raging watery death despite his family and friends cries, desperate to end it all.
(VISION END)

Humphrey was pleased as hell this was only a dream or a vision other wise all would be as the vision had prophesised, heart break followed by a fresh selection of death choices ending with the big sleep.

Lilly (kates sister)and Garth (her alpha husband) stood exactly the same as kate and humphrey from their leaders den over looking the valley as well. Both were looking onto their territory watching the morning unfold, watching the wolves wake from their slumber, watching as the water glimmered in the sun light.

Garth: "MORNIN YOU TWO!" he shouted across to kate and Humphrey.

Lilly: "is it me or is my sister seriously in need of some more sleep than shes getting, she looks so tired" she said concerned

Garth: "yeah, well its not as though they have no clue why they are so tired, i mean the whole valley can hear them and what theyre doing at night, were all not getting much sleep but at least they like the reason why, for us its the shouting, moaning and screaming of "OH HUMPHREY MORE!" and "HOWL FOR ME BITCH"! i mean....we never do that!"

Lilly: "We should, haha, but of course, you know what would happen to you if you called me a bitch right? even in the moment! i would cut off your balls with one claw and eat them later with a side of fresh bitter berries and a carribou leg for dessert."

Garth: "0-0.....really?!"

Lilly: "hahaha NO i was only joking! but seriously one thing i never want you to do is ask me to cry while doing it and to beg you to stop while you hold me down."

Garth: "(to himself) FUCK! i was looking forward to that (To lilly) ok hun what ever you say."

Eve and winston (the retired pack leaders of whom parented lilly and kate) are still in bed, sleeping off some vodka a passing truck left behind, the fall on the pavement knocked the tops off and winston and eve just started drinking. hangovers are difficult to come by if its your first and especially if you are a wolf. They awoke having the best nights sleep they have had in a while due to obvious reasons.

Eve: "winston! My God what is that pounding in my head! i feel like ive been run over and just for fun the devil let me live!"

Winston: "I KNOW WOMAN! just please! dont shout! my head feels like a tent peg thats been used more time than an asian hooker!"

Eve: " at least we had a better nights sleep than over the past two weeks"

Winston: " some of the things i hear from their den, some of the things they do make me feel sick! some of those things humphrey must be doing to my daughter!"

Eve: " OH cool it winston! we did those things ourselves, leave her to have fun, we only live once!"

Winston: "your right again i suppose!"

Eve: "is it me, or am i seeing things?"

Winston: "like what?"

Eve: "i see a duck standing at my den door!"

Paddy is a english duck prone to golfing with marcel the goose and three illegitamate porcupine triplets.

Paddy: "good morning ma'm, lovely day isnt it.....my you two look worse than my 3rd wife (to winston) she had 3 missing tail feathers and a crooked bill, i never lived that one down."

Eve: "what do you want paddy! im hungover! and im hungry! if your not quick with your answer youll be my next meal!" she growls

Paddy: "ok....sorry! (To winston) is she on her period?"

Winston: "no, shes way too middle aged for that, midlife crisis if anything, always wanting to try new things lately, she tried tying me up just yesterday morning" he wispers in secret

Eve: "WHAT WAS THAT!?" she growls

Winston: "just telling him to be quicker with his answer honey" he says trying to calm her down

Paddy: " i came to give you a weather report, the sun is beaming over jasper but i must warn you there is a thick ghostly looking fog coming in from the north, itll hit in about 4 hours time"

Winston: "another one! im too old for this shit!"

paddy: "youd better let everyone know to stay in their dens, its not the adult wolves but the pups im worried about sir, even in jasper its not safe with a mist about, what with reported ghost sightings of dead pack members and that bear that escaped from idaho zoo yesterday i think itd be wise to warn everyone to stay inside." paddy exclaimed

Eve: "as i said im hung over, were retired so its not our job anymore, so why tell us?! tell humphrey or garth or someone else who gives a damn!" she growls as she lies back down to sleep again

paddy: "(to winston) are you sure about that period thing sir?" paddy says worringly

winston nods assuringly

Paddy: "ill go tell them now sir and ma'm, bye bye and have a nice lye in"

Paddy flew quickly over to garth and Lillies first. this was no typical morning in jasper.
