Deadliest Predator Ep 23

Nick: *I woke up to Neara being by my side just watching over me* Morning Neara! *I yawned* Sleep well girl?

Neara: *I nodded my head and made a cute sound for him*

Nick: *I smiled and sat up to pet her* Yeah me too. Joe out hunting?

Neara: *I nodded again. You got that right my friend*

Nick: *I nodded myself* I figured. Somehow I wish I could help him. He's always going out to sea alone. But I suppose he's more use to it than me. Can I tell you a secret Neara?

Neara: *I looked at Nick and nodded up and down. A secret? OMG! This I so wanna hear!*

Nick: *I giggled and smiled at her. I looked around quick to make sure it was just still the two of us and spoke* I, ... really like Joe.

Neara: *Holy mother of pearl! I knew it!! OMG!! This is perfect, I just knew Nick felt the same way. I just felt it my gizzard! So in response I made more friendly sounds*

Nick: *I beamed* Yeah, I know weird right? The truth is Neara, I'm gay. And ever since I first laid eyes on him, I've fallen quite hard. I wonder if he would ever like me back? Its wishful thinking I know, but it would be nice if if was true.

Neara: *My God! He's totally confessing his love for Joe!! And I'm here to hear it, this is just too awesome for words! I can't wait to tell Joe! And just like the future king himself, Nick's not sure of Joe's feelings for him, they're such a perfect match!*

Nick: *I continued* But I should just stop day dreaming right Neara? He'll probably never see anything more than just a friend thats stuck on this island with him.

Neara: *I shook my head. No, no! OMG, Joe's so in love with you Nick! Can't he see it? Nick, you're wrong. He's sees you more than you know. OMG, I wanna tell him SO bad, but I know I can't. After all, I'd get in big huge trouble and second I know its only Joe's place to tell him*

Nick: *My eyebrow raised* What's that girl? You think I shouldn't give up?

Neara: *Nope! Don't give up Nick, cause your feelings are exactly the same as Joe's, I tried to communicate without really speaking*

Nick: *I smiled again* I hope you're right Neara. I've never been in love before, ... its all new to me. And I'm a little scared, I haven't even been on a first date or had my first kiss yet and I'm almost 18 years old. Pretty sad huh?

Neara: *I shook my head. I understand you Nick. Its okay, in fact a lot of kids your age should learn to wait to have their first kiss and date and so forth, well at least thats just my opinion. I believe in that one special someone, and I think Nick does too. He's exactly like my crush-e, its so cute!*

Nick: *I sighed* Thanks Neara. I'm glad I have someone to just to talk to about this kind of thing. Usually I have to talk with my best friend Rina who raised me after my parents got into their car crash.

Neara: *My heart sank for him. I snuggled into his arms and leaned my beak to give him a kiss on the cheek*

Nick: *I watched as Neara tried to comfort me and just smiled* You're an amazing friend girl. You remind me of both Rina and Joe, now that I think of it.

Neara: *Awwwww! Thats because I'm like a friend and a protector to you Nick. It'll all be okay, I promise. It looks like now, Joe & him will be together sooner than I thought*

Joe: *As I finished coming up from the water and putting on some shorts, I carried the fish I caught in one hand walking fast to the cave. Just as I was about to enter, I stopped in my tracks to see Nick and Neara havign what appeared to be a heart to heart chat or something. So I decided to listen in for a bit*

Nick: Remember girl, this is our little secret okay?

Neara: *I didn't wanna break his trust, but I just had to tell Joe. I promised to come clean with it would be okay to speak in front of him, so I nodded*

Joe: *Secret? Wonder what it is?*

Nick: *I continued to pet Neara as I talked on* Can I tell you something else girl?

Neara: *I nodded up and down happily*

Nick: *I giggled and spoke* I wonder why Joe always goes swimming on his own, but when I ask him if he wants to swim with me, he turns me down?

Neara: *Uh-oh! Complicatedness big time. Oy! That I can't answer for you Nick*

Nick: *I shrugged* I don't know either girl, but maybe its just something I have to get use to.

Neara: *Yeah, I'll say, but its so much more than that Nick. I pray that you will give Joe a chance & accept him for who and what he is*

Joe: *I listened to them both and was thankful that neither them seem to notice my presence there. So, ... this is one of the things bothering Nick. I just knew it. He's getting more and more suspicious of me. Maybe I should give the hunting a rest for a little while and spend more time with him*

Neara: *And you think that's going to throw him off this train of thought Joe? Are you crazy?*

Joe: *So you did know I was here*

Neara: *But of course. We animals can't sneak up on each other, especially with our thoughts. But seriously you shouldn't be worried about this, I got even bigger news!*

Joe: *What news?*

Neara: *I shouldn't tell you, after all you heard me promise Nick although you had no idea what I promised*

Joe: *Neara*

Neara: *Just kidding, here let me come out there and tell you, okay? I wobbled out of Nick's arms*

Nick: Neara? Where are you off to girl?

Neara: *I opened my mouth and showed him*

Nick: Oh! You're hungry, sorry girl. Go on, happy fishing! *I winked*

Neara: *Well something like that. I waved my wing bye and waddled out to meet with Joe. Here lets move away from here, just in case he decides to follow*

Joe: *So I followed her down to the beach area and sat. Now what is it Neara, the truth please? Is there something wrong with Nick? Is he okay?*

Neara: *Whoa, whoa. Slow down mister worrier, he's fine. Its not that. Its his feelings toward you*

Joe: *What? What did he say?*
