"He picked a hair off my shoulder and says "If you have an extra mating dance, at least pick a male with the same colour pelt." I thought woah he's gonna go full prying mantis on me." Brooke told Ellie
"If you find a mate you should be loyal, in your case grateful not get away from me.
I think mating for life is stupid." Brooke told Ellie as they continued walking together, there's plenty of Brooke to go around." Brooke said but Ellie had stopped and Brooke walked into her.
"Ellie" she said through a mouthful of fur before walking under her legs and looking at her face which was frozen in fear at something in front of her.
"Ellie?" Brooke said questioningly to her before turning at what she was staring at then freezing up herself. There clear as the day was the female tribe member holding onto a fallen tree with one hand and the other tightly around her infant. She sew the two mammals and pushed herself closer to the land with the little strength she had left and put the baby on the land which began to fall back into the water but was stopped by Ellie's trunk who pulled it back a safe distance from the waters edge. Turning the baby towards herself it showed it was alive and well.
"Look at that, he's ok." Brooke said to Ellie and then turned back to where the female tribes person had been but was no longer there.
"She's gone." Brooke said sadly.
Ellie turned away from the Baby and went the other way only to be stopped by Brooke.
"Ellie, are you forgetting something?" Brooke asked
"No" Ellie replied.
"But you just saved him." Brooke shot back at Ellie
"I'm still trying to get rid off the last thing I saved.
But you can't leave him here" Brooke said picking up the baby.
Looking up at the waterfall smoke could be seen rising from the campsites of the humans. Brooke turned back to Ellie.
"Look, there's smoke, That's his herd right up the hill, we should return him" Brooke said hopefully.
"There is no we, there never was a we. In fact, without me, there wouldn't even be a you.
Just up the hill" Brooke said quietly.
"Listen very carefully." Ellie said to Brooke. Holding out her trunk close to Brooke's ears she said. "I'm not going.
Fine be a jerk, i'll take care of him." Brooke said confidently.
"Yeah that's good. You can't even take care of yourself.
I'll return you, we don't need that meany-weeny Mammoth do we." Brooke said in a baby voice to the baby whilst touching his nose. "No we don't." Brooke began to climb the mountain behind the waterfall and Ellie watched from below as she got higher and higher.
"This I gotta see." Ellie laughed as Brooke reached a certain height and wouldn't go higher or lower.
"You're an embarrassment to nature do you know that." Ellie shouted up to Brooke
Stuck on the slope behind the waterfall not going down or up Brooke heard what Ellie said and shouted back down. "This is a piece of cake. I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm gonna die" Brooke said under her breath.
The Baby began to slip out of it's blanket whilst Brooke struggled to get herself up to a ledge and it fell however, Brooke was able to catch it with her feet as Ellie moved closer in case the baby did fall.
"Ellie!" Brooke yelled as the baby was dropped from Brooke's feet. Ellie stood at the bottom of the cliff and held out her trunk ready to catch the baby as it fell but just as she was about to there was a roar and Shira jumped capturing the baby in her mouth without harming it however, Ellie hit Shira knocking the baby out her mouth getting it in her trunk. Shira roared and swiped out at Ellie. Ellie readied herself to fight back if Shira launched an attack on her and the baby but she didn't and cleared her throat.
"That pink thing is mine" Shira said politely at first to Ellie.
"No, actually it belongs to us." Brooke said as she climbed down from the cliff she was stuck on.
"Us? You two are a bit of an odd couple.
There is no us" Ellie shoot back at Shira who remained calm.
"I see, you can't have your own, so you want to adopt." Shira said back.
Brooke dragged the baby back to her and picked it up.
"Look, i'm sorry to interrupt your snack, be we gotta go," Brooke said to Shira.
"The baby, please I was returning him to his herd." Shira said.
"Owe yeah nice try bucktooth." Brooke said to Shira.
Hearing this Shira growled at Brooke. "You callin me a liar" Shira challenged. "I didn't say that" Brooke shot back at Shira.
Shira hunched down almost in pouncing position and growled staring in Brooke's eyes menacingly. "You were thinkin it." Shira growled.
Scared Brooke backed away and whispered to Ellie.
"I don't like this cat, she reads minds.
Names Shira friend.
Ellie-May and i'm not your friend." Ellie said
"Fine Ellie-May but if you're lookin for the humans your to late, they left.
Thanks for the advice now beat it." Ellie warned Shira.
"I'll help you bring it to it's herd, but leave me alone after that" Ellie said to Brooke quietly so Shira wouldn't hear.
"Ok, ok, deal, what's you problem." Brooke asked "You're my problem" Ellie replied. "Well I think you're stressed, so you eat to much. It's hard to get fat on a vegan diet. I'm not fat it's all this it makes me look poofy.
All right you have fat hair but when you're ready to talk i'm here" Brooke said as the two walked away from Shira.
Shira jumped down from the ledge she was standing on a roared as she watched the two go and when they were out of sight she followed their scents.
