The sight tugged at both Bette and Tina’s heart strings.
Seeing the sadness painted on the blonde’s face, Bette explained, "Their emotions are exactly the same as ours. She has lost her family and she is grieving. But look… She has found a new one and it’ll take time but she will eventually adapt." Bette refrained though to utter the last word on her mind. "Hopefully."
As Bette was talking, Wendi, the mini matriarch appeared, making her way immediately over to the new arrival. All the other orphans followed, taking their cue from the older elephant and they soon surrounded the baby girl making great fuss of her and lavishing attention upon her. They all instinctively lay their trunks over her back in a gesture of love and concern.
Both Bette and Tina were immediately comforted by the touching scene. The vet talked to the keeper who had looked after the new calf and reassured by his summary of the feeding schedule and behaviour overnight, allowed the new baby to join the others for their regular morning stroll.
They finally left the nursery and on their way back, towards the house, Bette spotted her friend Shane. The skinny brunette was busy talking to a couple of rangers who were loading up the two-door beige 4×4 bearing the logo of the foundation, the two women were going to travel in for the day.
"Morning Bette, I thought you might be off already?"
"We slept in." Tina chirped in before Bette could answer, oblivious to the double entendre in her innocent statement.
"Oh you did, did you?" Shane offered with a smirk and one raised eyebrow.
Bette shot a glare at her friend.
"Tina, this is my friend Shane. She’s a photographer."
"Hey, Tina. It’s nice to meet you." The skinny brunette said holding out her hand.
"Hello. Same here." Tina smiled sweetly taking the hand on offer.
"So, when are you setting off?"
"I guess shortly." Bette said seeing the last of the gear being loaded in the back of the huge 4×4. Augustine was even lending a hand, loading what seems to be the largest cool box in the country.

*gasp* oh shit they’re stuck in the middle of the wilderness!! Omg I lOoooooveeeee this storrryyyy!!!! PPS
Ha!! Now that’s how it should be done!:)) Great job, really admire all the details you wrote in this story. WOnder will ther be problems for tibette in the night? Or they’ll be safe inside the car? :))) PPS!!!
Wow! That is some of the best writing I have seen lately. Fantastic! I love the descriptions of the animals and the interactions between Bette and Tina. Thank you!
Not good being stranded in the middle of no where.
Lol – Never thought of Zebras as a New York hooker in black and white stripes – hilarious comparison.
LMAOOOOO!!! I knew it…! I just knew it…!!! I had that hope in my head all along, and I prayed that you’d make this happen!!! Thank youuuu! This is going be sooo good! But you are such a tease to let us hang like that… Now… I have no idea what you have in store for them, but I so completely, undeniably, and eternally trust you to make it worth the wait!… God you’re good, woman!!! Thanks so much for this chapter, the descriptions were beautiful, but what I loved above everything else was that sensual flirting between our ladies. I am a sucker for these types of little moments and situations… The touching of hands… Awww…. The whispering in the ear… Awww X 10…. The arm around her waist to hold her back… Awwwwkay, you just killed me, woman! I didn’t want their day to end, but I’m absolutely delighted by that unexpected turn of events!!… So, what is it gonna be, K…? ;)
Oooo, slick, Bette… The old dead-battery-in-middle-of-the-Serengeti-with-dangerous-nocturnal-beasts-beginning-to-prowl-around-us maneuver… Guess you’ll just have to get all snuggly in the jeep until help arrives. (If it comes in the form of Jodie, make sure you’ve got a night-scope on the rifle so you can shoot out her tires before she encroaches.)
Wow! That was fascinating both from the amazing descriptions of the animals and the interaction between Bette and Tina; should be an interesting night!
OMG! You’re gonna kill us leaving us hanging like that! I love, love, love this story so much. Written so intricately, with attention to detail, and with obvious knowledge of the components of a dynamic ecosystem. Please post soon, since IDK if I can wait.
Oh no..stuck in the middle of nowhere..as always, incredible writing and story!
Wow….what a cliff hanger! I didn’t expect that. I’m sure they’ll be safe in the truck and Bette’s team will track them down in the morning. It should make for an interesting night. I can’t wait for your next post.
Oh my goodness, what a place to be stranded and overnight too. Hopefully Bette will keep them safe thru the night and help will arrive for them when it is noticed that they did not return home by dark. Mercy sakes. Wonderful update.
Oh no they stuck in nowhere
K40 this is beautiful how you describe the beauty of Africa .. But what the heck?..Engine trouble? You ruined the moment!? ..jk… :) But I’m more worried if they spend the night “out there.”
Amazing chapter.Looking forward to the chapter about a night under the african stars together.PPS
Your vivid storytelling reminds me of The Lion King. I hope if they have to spend the night under the stars they are fully equipped for it. Great chapter, love. I guess that means I’m up to bat…
Oldest trick in the book, car trouble.
Kins – It just gets better and better. I’m in awe of your talent and the caliber of your stories and your TiBette characters. I love how beautifully you portray them in all of your stories regardless of the setting. I have no worries that if they are stranded Bette will have the situation under control and Tina will trust her but then again things might go awry so we’ll just have to wait and see what adventure you have in store for us next. PPS
OMG KINS40!!!! how could you stop there?!? No..! No..! No..! >_< ... LOL.. You are so good and you do know how to make me beg! Don't you?! .... :-p ha3 ... I can't believe that, even in FF, that Saturday is simply too short!! ... Argh...! So will Bette showing more of her capabilities that she also good in fixing the jeep?? Or do you intend to let them spent their first night together under the stars by the river and in the warm embrance of the savannah?! ^^, My dear Kins.... Would you be kindly enough to please post the next chapter soon?? Very.. Very.. Soon?? * I wish there's an emoticon available here to put on very cute little puppy dog eyes * he3 ... Pining for your next update now... Thanks for your amazing chapter Kins40!! :-) enjoy the weekend ahead! ^_^

Uh-oh! I absolutely love this story. You capture the beauty of the setting so well. Thank you.
Amazing and awesome update. Was written with so much detail that I could just picture it all in my mind. Thank you for this story and now I hope they will be safe. Thanks.
“Click” LMAO! “Click” …. I can just imagine the string of cuss words coming Bette now. I applaud you for not using the proverbial “ran out of gas” scenario ;) Kins, this story is such a joy to read. Your attention to detail that paints such vivid pictures continues to impress me – I so want to be on Safari! The electric but gentle current B&T share makes me sigh, and your wicked sense of humor makes me laugh out loud – loved the Zebra / “New York hooker in black and white stripes, far too tight, tights, and strolling on stiletto heels” bit! Oh mighty mistress of cliffhangers, you always leave me wanting and looking forward to MORE (but that’s a GOOG thing ;) …… I publicly Heart you. have a super weekend!
