This Takes Place a little while after the end the season two.

Unlike many unfortunate other stories that make me sad :(, mine will finish.

"Lawrence?"

"Yes Holo?" He said gazing into her beautiful scarlet red eyes.

They had made camp some ways off the main road so that Holo wouldn't have to worry about hiding her ears or tail from passing travelers and curious eyes. They were leaning against a large tree at the edge of a field; the wagon was positioned to their left next to the tree so that it would shield them from most of wind and help keep them warm. They were sitting in front of a fire Lawrence had made, eating some rabbit meat Holo had caught for them. Lawrence was sitting at the base of the tree with one knee bent holding a long branch in his left hand with which he was tending to the fire. Holo was leaning on his right side holding his arm tightly. They were sharing a thick wool blanket.

It had now been one year since their departing from Lenos and the rebellions. Lawrence had made back the money he had lost and more through several trades involving high risks and large payoffs. They now had enough money to stay wherever they wanted, but they still had to camp out in-between villages. By now they had revealed their true feelings for each other and were a happy couple although not married… yet.

"When will we arrive at our destination? I no longer wish to sleep in a cold uncomfortable field." Holo said in a tone that seemed displeased with the situation. "This wise wolf requires delectable food and drink, not scrap cooked roughly over fire."

"Well, at the speed you consume your meals I am surprised you could tell the difference" He said smirking at her. Then immediately regretting when he felt a dull pain in his gut. Looking down he saw Holo's fist was pushing into it.

"I do not appreciate that comment!" She said scowling at the man sitting next to her. Her white tipped auburn tale swishing back and fourth under the blanket.

He let out a small grunt it pain as she released. "We shall have to fix that now won't we?" He slowly stood up, regaining his balance from the punch, and started walking to their wagon. "I might not be able to supply you with a delectable meal fit for a wise wolf, but I might have some alcohol left over from the last town we stayed in." He slowly reached into the wagon and pulled out a medium sized skin of alcohol. "The innkeeper at the last inn gave this to me on our way out, he said it would keep us warm if ever we became cold at night. I was hoping to save it for a day such as that but seeing that we our almost to the next town I believe we could have some."

"Really?" Holo said in a manner more exited than irritated. Her tail now clearly visible swishing back and fourth under the blanket. Her ears perked with interest. "Why did you not mention this sooner, how dare you keep a wise wolf waiting like this. Hand it to me!" She said demanding the skin from her companion.

"Ok Holo, but remember this is not like wine or ale. Just a small amount would be like drinking multiple glasses of wine." He said while hesitantly handing over the skin of alcohol and sitting back down next to her. "Be careful, don't have to much or you will make yourself sick."

"I am Holo the wise wolf. I know what and what not to have!" She said before taking a rather large swig from the skin. Her face immediately turned cherry red as she swallowed the large gulp. "It burns!" She barked at her companion angrily and yet excited. "Why did you not tell me it would burn so? It shall warm us up in no time." She declared happily drinking more.

"Be careful!" Yelled Lawrence quickly trying to stop her from drinking too much, but it was to late and she had already finished 1 quarter of the skin.

"Hic…why didn't you tell me it was so delicious? ...Hic" The alcohol was already taking affect.

"I think that is enough for the wise wolf. " Lawrence said to Holo immediately regretting it.

"I will decide when I have had enough!" Holo declared drinking more and more to prove her companion wrong.

"Holo stop before you make yourself sick, you've drank half of the skin!" Lawrence said with a worried tone to Holo. He then took the skin and getting up once again he place it back in the wagon.

"Whhyyyy did…you tiake the shkin away Lawrence?" She asked confused but to drunk to really care.

"I think you know why Holo, you are already drunk. I just hope you haven't made yourself sick. You should probably drink some water and go to sleep." He said lovingly to his companion.

"O…Hic…K, if that is what my companion…Hic… desires of me then I…Hic… shall indulge…Hic… his wishes." She barely finished her sentence before passing out on his shoulder under the warm wool blanket.

The next day...

It was late afternoon and Holo had been sleeping in the back of the cart under the tarp all day. "I should probably wake her when we get close to Kumersun so that she may get dressed and hide her tail and ears," He said thinking out loud. "Although she is beautiful when she is asleep. I think ill leave her be a little while longer." He was really starting to think about his love now; she really did mean everything to him. "If only she new, I would give up everything to be with her forever, I can't wait to marry that beautiful wolf." He said still thinking out loud. "If only there were some way I could be like her, then my dear Holo would never be alone again. That is my dream. I once wished for shop to settle down in. I now know however that what I really desire is a place I will be loved and wanted. I now have a beautiful wolf who loves me and enjoys my company. I wish for my Holo to never be alone, I wish for her to be happy. This is my new dream, I want to stay with her forever" He then herd a quiet movement in the back of the cart, he ignored it thinking it was only Holo moving around while still asleep and probably still drunk for that matter.

Unfortunately for Lawrence he could not have been more wrong. Unknown to him Holo had been awake and listening the whole time. "Does he really feel that way about me?" she thought to herself trying to remain quiet in the back of the cart. "I also wish to marry him and have a family, but his mortal body will only wither away. If only I new of a way to make him like me, if this is what he truly wants I wish I new how to grant it for him." She was sad now, knowing that there was no way to make him like her. Or so she thought.
