As the sun rose and the sky got lighter, a blanket of mist was revealed which hung over the vast grassland.
Everything appeared hazy. It was like looking through a piece of gauze.
Slowly to the East, the sky began to colour as the sun crested over the horizon slowly evaporating the moisture in the air.
The open plain was slowly coming alive with sound and light.
Birds started calling, their melodious chatter greeting the morning sun. In the nearby bushes, which lined the river, a sudden flurry of activity began as the multicoloured feathers of tiny birds started a dance, weaving in and out of the shelter of intertwined branches.
Along the bottom, scurrying skittishly on the bank, a few moorhen pecked their way through the grass at the water’s edge. Further along in the shallows, a couple of herons stood necks outstretched.
They would have been perfect as a study in poise, elegance and grace, remaining faultlessly motionless for minutes on end as they stalked the ponding stretches of the river, suddenly lunging at their target or moving on carefully, wading slowly through the water.
Every so often, their long beaks would claim the prize of a small fish. It would flap hopelessly for a few seconds, caught in the sharp vice of the bird’s thin bill, its silver scales shining in the morning light, before being swallowed whole.
Suspended in trees and from grass stalks, countless webs throughout the landscape revealed sparkling jewel-like reflections of the moisture which hung in the air, on their delicate and intricate constructions.
A moth struggled, tangled in one of those webs, having carelessly shortened its already ephemeral existence. Above it and oblivious to the struggle unfolding a few inches away, a butterfly fanned its wings in the warmth of the new dawn.
Bette was the first one to open her eyes. They fluttered open for a split second and closed again as, as soon as she woke to consciousness, she felt her. Draped against her, their limbs intertwined, Tina’s head was resting on her shoulder, her arm wrapped around Bette’s waist. They were facing each other in the same fashion as they had fallen asleep the night before.

Hey! Okay, I couldn’t resist! I left all my chores aside for a moment to be able to read this chapter… And I don’t regret any of it! Now… That waking up moment was one of the best morning scenes… Scratch that… THE BEST morning scene between Bette and Tina I have ever read! You got me with the nose brushing bit, I really thought they were going to kiss. But then again… Morning breath?… Not so sexy!… Hey, what am I talking about? Morning breath doesn’t exist in Tibette Land. In Tibette Land, they don’t burp, they don’t fart, they don’t go for number 2, maybe not even for number 1, they don’t have morning breath, they are never sick, except for the really cool stuff like a car accident, or taking a bullet for the other, or saving the other from a house in fire, or being hurt by a Jodie Lerner… Holy sh**! Jodie Lerner… Nooooo, don’t let her hurt Tina or Bette, or an elephant… Well okay, maybe an elephant… Okay, just kidding, not even an elephant!!! Please keep them safe… AND HAVE THEM FINALLY KISS FOR GOD’S SAKE!!! Pretty pretty pretty pleeeaaaase? Thank you, my friend! H&K, Kw (PS: You know that phenomenon when you actually write down the silly stuff that goes through your head???… Well, that was me just now…) *yawning* Okay… Time for bed!
I am so hooked on this story. But I really want to read about their first kiss. I hate Jodi!
I’m gonna have to second Kword75 on the kissing. But please, no sacrificial elephants! Life is hard enough for elephants. In fact, I’m thinking Jodie would look fetching suspended from that elephant’s tusk by the belt of her safari jacket. Not a fatal goring, mind you; I don’t condone violence. Just an undignified suspension.
No, Kins40, we haven’t met. I’m an avid (usually) silent reader & I really admire your writing style. It is so flowing and descriptive. I love the detail you put into describing the landscape & wildlife and the depth you give the characters. You could have left out Jodie, but what fun would that be?
That was great, as always. Now tell me honestly, have you lived in Africa?
omg, this story has me sooooo addicted! I get so excited every time I see an update. The writing is so detailed and allows you to paint such a great mental picture using all of the senses- it’s almost like you’re there. Please post again soon!
Hello stranger! I don’t believe I’ve commented on any of your stories but, rest assured, I am a fan. I was just thinking about this story and how you and Meloveslu seem to be tag-teaming your posts; then I decide to visit the site and, boom!, you’ve posted another chapter. You’re a fantastic writer and I’m on the edge of my seat impatiently waiting to see the rest of this story unfold. PS: I also second – or is it third – Kword75’s comments.
I love the way you described morning on the Savannah….beautiful. And Bette seems to be letting her guard down a bit with Tina. But now we have Jodi to contend with. Ugh. Is she really planning on killing Bette and making it look like an accident so that she can get the elephant’s tusks? I hope the people she has working for her have enough sense to walk away before things get out of hand…Poor Bette :(
Well I´m with Kword75 on the whole kissing scene. You had me on the edge of my seat with that awesome morning scene – but please why don´t you just dart Jodie. The woman is insufferable.Amazing story.
Nice ending to a great week of your brillant writing! Only one thing though..I really dislike Jodi..what a bitch! Loved the morning scene between Bette and Tina..amazing!
DAMN IT! JODIE!!..IF I CAN BE A HUNTER.. I’LL HUNT YOU DOWN!..AND WON’T LEAVE UNTIL I’M SURE YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HARM ANY OF THE ANIMALS OUT THERE!.. [Breath in..Breath out..] thanks K40..damn you’re good!..
Ahh mighty mistress of sweet slow torture, I’m going echo Kword and everyone else and beg (yes, beg) for a kissing scene between our two sheros. Now THAT would be an even better “starter” – which could then be followed by the rest of the course. Now, any chance our elephant friend could “accidentally” spear Jodie or somehow have her dart boomerang back so that she darts herself ??? Or we could just let cvu take care of things for us ;) As always I continue to enjoy this story – you tell it so well my friend. BTW, the Irish “black gold” has long been a fave of mine – yum :D
Nice and intersting update. I see that Jodi never learns. Bette and Tina are gonna have to teach this woman a lesson.
Love Bette and Tina, can someone kick Jodi ass please
Your writing is so visceral. Captures me in every chapter. Though I must say that even reading the comments from your many fans keeps me entertained. Despite the fact that I worked today instead of enjoying a nice Saturday with friends (or with Stella) I will now attempt to hurry up and tag you back.
Thanks for this beautiful escapade in the wilderness and for the front raw seat to Tibette tender and lovely waking moment. It’s good that Bette is letting her guards
One of them will need to risk kissing first, my money is on Tina
Oops hit the wrong button…………….It’s good Bette is letting her guards down regarding her feelings for Tina and I’m sure that she’ll raise them higher, now that she have another person to look after. I’m looking for how you’ll write her next move, their next private moment. As for ##@@#¤# Jodie’s plan………. I’m trusting the gang to overpower her. Read you soon.
you blow me away with each new chapter, pleasen let them get together soon,,,,,and i`m with ozgal any chance of an elephant sitting on hodie……x
Ugh… Let the crocodiles taking care of ms Lerner!! Yup accident do happen, and let it befall her! Humph!! … Anyway…thanks Kins for another marvelous chapter!! I love to read how you describe the morning activities of the savannah and of course within the tent between the girls too ;-) and what a teaser you are Kins40!! X-D looks like we can open an anonymous bet on who will kiss the other first :-p lol… And @Kword75.. your comment about Tibbete land!!..ROFL.. ;-D oh please don’t let this inspiring Kins to write those in details as with Kins’s skill in writing… She can bring Africa ambiance to my little island as if all revealed in my very eyes but on the other hand.. She’ll make the effect of those not so nice and graceful thing multiplied and surely totally it will kill the mood :-p he3… Nightmare!! :-p btw it’s so entertaining to read other’s comments on this story ;-) And looks like the ideas of giving Jodie her “rewards” are plenty too … :-p so what are you waiting for, dear Kins?! :-) ha3… Pining for your next updates as usual.. ^^, v
You lured me out. I can’t take it anymore. Please arrange for an elephant to sit on Jodi.
Wonderful just absolutely brilliant – the morning scene was just awesome. Thank you for this story and please let Jodi get what she deserves and not the good things :) Thank you again.
Amazing as always.What about the Lion for Jodie or may be a snake ?Thank you for the update.PPS
Their morning waking was beautifully described and made me want them to kiss each other but alas and alack. Now I want to know what Tina thought of their sojourn and the mishap with the vehicle and their evening spent together and their susbsequent morning before the rescue vehicle arrived. I won’t frighten you with my wish for a dire happening to be visited upon the body of one nasty jodie but do let something happen to her that will take her from the savannah in a 6 foot box or even in pieces, none recognizable. Loved the update and how Bette is thinking about what did or did not happen but loving the circumstances. Thanks.
I don’t know what more to say than I adore this story. The nose rub is always so cute! I loved it in the show and I love it here. I always forget about Jodie until she enters and is like having the covers yanked off or being doused with a bucket of ice water… she snaps me out of my love haze… Fantastic build up to the first kiss!
well girl I get excited because your stories fulfill all my fanfic needs. See I look for a certain kind of storyline and certain kind of detail. So many writers have the storyline but they zoom right through it with not nearly enough details, and others have the details but the storyline is stagnant and non progressing. But you and a few others on this site, you have both! You’re style specifically is very detail oriented and I love that, it puts me in the scene. I’m a creative writing major of course I get excited! lolon that note:KILL JODI!!!!!!!!And oh my God you’re totally blue balling us, B n T want each other so much it’s insane! I say if Bette doesn’t make a move, Tina needs to just plant one on her! haha
