Today was the day..
And Hilo, Shadow and Snow Storm knew it.
So they prepared all they could by inviting another Nicheling into the tribe, her name was Lemon.
“Take care of him for me..”
Oak whispered to her.
“Yes Ma’am.”
They embraced Cherri for the last time and Oak kissed his forehead.
“We love you Sweetie, Don’t ever forget that.”
“Y-Yeah?”
“Stay Strong, Kiddo, Y’know, like your dad!”
Even in the weight of the situation, Shadow still managed to make Cherri Smile.
Hilo and Snow Storm Hugged onto each other.
“I Love you, You big Dummy.”
“Heh, I know.”
As the sun set they all got comfortable around each other and in the morning.. Oak, Shadow, Hilo, And Snow Storm Didn’t wake up.
“Mom.. Dad.. I Love you.”
And they were gone.
