Enjoy!

The past few days went by, Natalie already said her goodbyes to the rest of the loonatics. They questioned for how long she will be away and it will only be for 6 months. They wished her the best and safe return. Tech went with Natalie to the desert for to depart from there. Tech stood in front of the group of the coyotes with the young ones up front because he was able to say a speech.

/Da da da da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
To be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity/

Tech let out a sigh amd looked to Natalie and then towards his pack.

"On this day, the young pup...."

He continued on with his speech, Natalie was sitting by his side listening to his words of wisdom to the young pups. She stares up at her husband as he speaks while her mind drifts away.

/I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry/

'Even though I'm afraid, I need to grow up and face this head on, because I can't have fear stop me from doing what I love and that's standing by my husband for better and worse'

Natalie thought with a smile.

/Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry/

As Tech finished his speech, he howled loud and the other coyotes howl along. While the coyotes started to prepare themselves for the trip, Tech walked to up to Natalie.

"You have a moment for to talk?"

"Yeah"

"Listen I just....I just want to say that.....that....I'm sorry. If there was some other way...I would turn back time and do it right"

He said with a sigh with head hang low.

/The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay/

Natalie smiled sadly and hesitantly leaned up to give him a light kiss on the cheek. Tech looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"Tech I promise you when I return I will be stronger than before. I just need some space for I can get my head together with clarity, peace and serenity."

/I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry/

Natalie put both her hands on Tech's hands. He felt them shaking like a leaf but in her eyes he saw a fire of determination.

"We need to be strong for each other"

Tech let out another sigh.

"I promise Natalie when you come back, I'll be more focus, I'll give you the attention that you deserve"

"And I promise no more secrets"

/Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend, and you'll be mine
Valentine
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers, and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late and dark outside
I need to be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity/

"Can I give you one last hug?"

Natalie was about to say no but by the look in her husband's eyes how can she say no and besides this could be the start of her peace. Natalie gave Tech the hug he wanted and gently pulled back but before she can pulled away he leaned closer to her ear.

/I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry/

"When you come back, maybe we can try having pups of our own again"

He said pulling away from a red blushing coyote who happily nodded.

"I love you Natalie and I'm going to miss you"

"I'm going to miss you too Tech and I love you too but promise me something"

"Anything?"

/Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry/

"When I return I hope I hear you apologize to Ace because he was just helping me"

"I promise"

"Good. Its time for us to move out"

Natalie howl at the coyotes signaling them to start moving. The coyotes bark at Tech saying bye. Tech stood by until they were out of view and head back to HQ.

/La da da da da da/

As he arrived, he saw Rev playing air hockey by himself while Tech just watches. Duck was on the phone, Lexi was listening to her music while looking at a magazine and then finally Ace who was on his hover shell meditating. He slowly made his way to him and tap him on the shoulder.

Ace opened one eye and was surprise to see Tech.

"How can I help ya doc?"

"Can I talk to you in private?"

"Sure just let me finish my meditating and I will be right with you"

"Meet me in my lab"

Ace nodded and closed his eye as Tech made his way to his lab.
