Echo was scared, he had never been in a home before. Carmen lied down on her blanket, and he followd. "Its alot warmer in here than outside." Echo said. "No!" Carmen laughed. "Oh, queit you!" Echo teased.

They laughed for a while then Carmen's owner came to give them water.She reached to pet Echo but he batched away."It's okay,she wont hurt you..."Carmen smiled.

Echo walkedback up to her and let her pet him. "Aaaww, your so cute, you don't have a home do you?" She asked. Echo looked up at her. Is she takeing me in? he thought. "Well, you kinf of skinny, so if you do your owner's not taking good care of you. So you can live here!" Her owner smiled. Carmen smiled happely at Echo. He did the same to her. "I'll go bye you a coller." The girl said and grabed her keys, and walked out the door.

"collar?"Echo said."It's what dogs that have on thier necks to keep them from getting dognapped."She smiled."[i]dogs...[i]"Echo groaned.

"Oh... sorry." Carmen whined. He looked up at her. "No, sorry hon." He said, but the word hon sliped out. She looked up at him. "YOur full of your self arn't you... hon." She giggled. "Oh shush." He teased. And they played until her owner came home about three hours later.

She slipped a blue collor around his neck.He scratched it for a while then got used to it."You look nice."Carmen blushed.

He smiled at her. "Oh, wait... my. Family. We. Have to. Tell them." He studderd. "Oh, your right, please, lead the way." Carmen said. He nodded. They dashed out the doggie-door. They ran to thier cave. Bruno was outside and saw the color around his brother's neck. His eye's whidend. "Mom. Dad!" Bruno called.

It wasn't goinng to be easy...but Echo knew he could pull through.They sat in a circle".................Echo I ........................Your a wolf."Zasha cried."I know mom.........but......."Echo diddn't want to admit his feelings for Carmen when she was sittng right there."I.......can't just....live her forever.....I gotta branch out....."Echo said."Echo...I knew someday somthing like this would happen........Listen boy.......If you want to go......It will be very fine with us."Shade said."One thing you get to know before anyone else is......Your mother and I are expecting a thried litter......we will have enought to look after if that is your choise..."Shade smiled."Thank you......"Echo smiled and walked off with Carmen.Zasha burried her face deep into Shade's neck as her son walked of into the street."Don't worry.......we can see him anytime...."shade said."It's not that....I'm proud."Zasha smiled.

"Oh, I hope she's not mad at me!" Carmen said as she looked back at Zasha crying. "Nah, she just... gets... emotional." Echo chuckled. As they walked home, they walked on the beach and saw this beautifull sun-set. "Wow.." Carmen sighed. "Lets go." She said. He nadded and the kept walking. The walked in the doggie-door and were reated by thier human. "Okay lets put you too to sleep." She said. WHAT Echo thought, his parents told him when a human said "put to sleep" it ment somthing bad. Seeing the scared look on Echo's face, Carmen busted out lauhing. "No... She means we... need to go to sleep." She said, trying to controle her laughter. "Oh..." Echo said, rather emberest. "Its fine." She replyd. They walked to the back of the room and she pointed at a rug. She lied down on it and he did the same. "Wow, this is much better than the cave floor." Echo said.

"wow......whats it like beeing a wolf?"Carmen asked."Well..pretty much the same as a dog's life...ya know...without the human enteraction...."he laughed.

"Oh, thats nice." She smiled. Soon both were asleep, but during the night Carmen woke and was very cold. She walked to the other side of him and slide under one of his arms. But she didn't know that he was awake. He smiled and felt her nuzzle closer. "It, would be nice to have him for, a mate." She whisperd. YES!!! Echo thought.

He diddn't say anything the next few days.He diddn't want her to know he had heard her.He thought she'd be too imbarressed."Carmen...."Echo started."yeah?"she asked.

"Uhh.. I um, need to talk to you.." He said. She walked closer. His heart pounded in his chest, what would or could he tell her? "I. I..." He couldn't get te words out. Say it! Come on spit it out. He thought. Please! Oh I hope he says it! Carmen thought. He took a deep breath. "C-C-C-C Carmen.." He started.

"ILIKEYOUALOTNSTUFF!" Echo coughed.
