Couples- A Dinosaur Train Fanfic

Chapter 10- Making Out under The Stars

Summary: Marco Megaraptor and Tiffany Troodon, his beloved girlfriend , make out under the stars.

All was quiet and peaceful at the Big Pond. Only several pond creatures were out and enjoying the last minutes of the day. On the beach and sitting on a picnic blanket complete with a picnic basket was Marco Megaraptor, Mr. Pteranodon's childhood friend and rival, and his girlfriend Tiffany Troodon, a female troodon with a long feather hairdo that went down to her shoulders and had three big feathers at the top of her head. They were finishing their delicious picnic of fishwiches and fish cakes while enjoying the sunset.

"It looks so beautiful, doesn't it Tiff?" Marco said while on his knees.

"It certainly does, thanks for suggesting that we have a lil' date here. This place is very lovely." Tiffany ate the last of her fishwich and licked her lips in satisfaction, which made Marco chuckle. He thought it looked cute. "Oh, you're very welcome, my love. Say, would you like to go for a walk together?"

"Sounds romantic, especially with you. I'd love to."

"Great." Marco finished his food and stood up. He walked over to Tiffany and held out his hand for her, which she gladly took. He helped her up to her feet and they walked into the woods surrounding the Big Pond. The sun soon disappeared and night covered the land like a blanket. The noises of nocturnal creatures and insects could be heard all around, and to the megaraptor/troodon couple those noises sounded like an orchestra of lovely, night-time music. The two walked side by side, Marco on the left and Tiffany on the right, holding hands. Fireflies began flying through the air around them.

Tiffany looked at Marco, who was holding her hand so gently, and spoke. "There's another thing I'd like to thank you for."

"What's that?" Marco asked looking at her and Tiffany smiled. "Taking Brent on that fishing trip to the Big Misty Sea, he really enjoyed it."

Marco smiled back. "I was glad to take him. Hey, let him know I'd be happy to do it again with him anytime I'm available."

"I'll make sure to do that, thanks."

"Don't mention it."

Brent was Tiffany's four-year-old son, who she loved very much and who obviously felt the same way about her. Tiffany had once been married, but one night unseen, she saw her husband kissing and holding another female troodon in his arms. Tiffany felt very hurt by this, so much that when her husband returned home, she kicked him out of the nest and said that she was through with him. He went along with her on getting divorced and she hadn't seen him since. She didn't even want to see him again, as far as she was concerned he didn't exist anymore. And so she had been left to raise Brent after he had hatched. Under her parental guidance, Brent had become the sweetest child she had ever seen. He became more than a son, he was like a close friend to her who helped her feel less sad about the aftermath with his father. She loved him so much and couldn't imagine life without him. Her life felt like it got better after the divorce and Tiffany never thought she'd fall in love again…until after she met Marco.

She looked at him. He was so gorgeous and kind. He was so funny, always making her laugh with his jokes and playful nature. He also looked out for her, even comforted her whenever she felt down. She wondered what she had done in her life to deserve someone as nice and loving as him. On Marco's side of the path, Tiffany saw that they were approaching some tall grass. Feeling like she wanted to stop and enjoy the sounds of the night-time, she asked Marco to stop. He did and so did she. The night-time music could still be heard floating in the air. Tiffany stared at the megaraptor, thinking that he looked so handsome in the moonlight. So handsome…

Marco stared up at the sky and saw that it was full of stars. "Nice night, huh Tiff?" No answer. He turned to face her and saw her smiling at him with her eyes half-closed. "What?" He asked. But instead of answering, Tiffany threw her arms around his neck and passionately kissed him. Marco's eyes widened and closed briefly. Gosh, He thought, Tiff sure knows how to love a man. He looked behind him and saw that there was only soft grass. He got an idea. Wrapping his arms around his girlfriend, Marco slowly fell backward onto the grass-covered ground and took Tiffany with him, much to her surprise. They fell onto the grass and Tiffney's lips broke away from Marco's. She smiled at him. "Hey, what's the big idea?"

"What? I thought it'd be more romantic for us to be on the ground."

Tiffany shook her head. "You're such a goof. And this serves me right for dating someone like you." She tried to break free of Marco's hold, but she found that the megaraptor had a tight grip on her. "You mind letting me go?" She asked.

Marco thought about it. "Hmm, nope!" He kissed her passionately on the mouth and then repeated the action. Tiffany turned around while trying to break free, so Marco ended up kissing her repeatedly on the cheek from behind. Try as Tiffney may, she simply couldn't get away. Marco kept up his barrage of kisses and a minute later, Tiffney closed her eyes and began to laugh. "Oh, no! Someone help! This gorgeous male megaraptor has got me and won't let me go!"

"Save your breath, you lovely female troodon! No one is coming to help you, and you are completely helpless!"

Tiffney tried once more to break free, but realized that it was no use. She was going to have to submit herself to the megaraptor's affection. "Well, if you're going to kiss me so much…" She turned herself around in his arms so he could kiss her on the lips, which she gladly accepted. She kissed him back some of the time, but she also let him do most of the kissing. Here and there they both stopped long enough to laugh before they resumed making out. There was even some necking involved. Tiffany let Marco kiss her once more and the megaraptor finally released her. The two began regaining their breath and calming down. Tiffany laid the upper part of her body on top of Marco's, her head resting under his bottom jaw.

"That…was so much fun." Tiffney said.

"You're very welcome." Marco said, rubbing his hand up and down Tiffany's back. She closed her eyes and sighed peacefully. "Thank you." She said so softly.

Marco smiled at her. "Don't mention it." They lay there for a while, with Marco slowly rubbing Tiffany's back, all while listening to the sounds of the night. Eventually, Tiffany sat up and so did Marco. They looked at each other and that was when Tiffany said. "Would you like me to rub your feet?"

"Rub my feet, why?"

Tiffany smiled. "I just want to do something nice for you." Marco looked at her before nodding. "Alright." He held his right foot out to her and Tiffany grabbed it. She then began rubbing. Marco closed his eyes and sighed. It felt so wonderful to feel Tiffany's fingers rubbing his feet, especially between his toes. He liked that the best and told her so. "Great, I'm glad you like it." She continued rubbing his foot and spent an even amount of time rubbing his toes, much to the megaraptor's delight. She repeated the process with his other foot for a bit before stopping. Marco sighed. "Thank you."

"You're very welcome, Marco dear." She rested her back against a tree stump and closed her eyes. She opened them when she felt Marco pick up and hold her right foot. "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that…since you gave me a foot rub…you'd like one…too?" Marco stopped talking and saw Tiffany smiling at him. "You can rub my feet if you want, I don't mind." Marco smiled back before he got started rubbing. Tiffany closed her eyes, threw her head back, and sighed happily as Marco rubbed in between her toes. The massage lasted for several minutes for both feet before Tiffany said that Marco had done an excellent job and could stop. She thanked him and he told her she was welcome.

He came up to her on his knees and she got up on her knees also. The two shared a kiss.

"I love you." Marco said in a whisper.

"I love you too." Tiffany said in also a whisper.

They kissed again and again before looking each other in the eyes.

"I wish we could just stay and sleep here beside each other." Marco said.

Tiffany had a small, sad look on her face. "I know. I would absolutely love to spend the night here with you, but it's getting late and I need to get back to Brent."

"I know." Marco nodded and then he smiled. "C'mon, let's go get our picnic stuff and enjoy the last few moments we have together." Tiffany smiled back and nodded. She happily let Marco help her up to her feet. They walked through the forest and back to their picnic site and gathered everything up in the basket. Then they headed toward the train station, with Marco's arm wrapped lovingly around Tiffany, while Tiffany happily held the hand of that arm in her own hands. They both gazed lovingly into each other's eyes while they both stood on the station platform, waiting for the next train to arrive.

THE END

First off, I'd like to apologize for the fact that I haven't updated Couples in over TWO years. I meant to every now and then over the course of that time, but there were other fics to write, fanarts to draw, and life in general that I had to attend to. But thank you all for being so patient.

Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think of this chapter in the comments. Also if you could, please give some of my other fics a read. If you liked reading about the love between Tiffany and Marco, and Tiffany herself, you can read about those in my Moonlight Fishing and Fishing Trip fics. There's also a fic about Tiffany Troodon and her son Brent in my fic Mother and Son.

Have a nice day and Happy Valentines Day, or Happy After Valentines Day.
