I'm sorry this took so long, but I wasn't sure where to go from where I was. Anyway, on with the story!
Prickly and Midnight were out on their hike.

"it's just a little further", said Prickly as they rounded the last bend in the trail.

They then walked out into a clearing at the top of the mountain. You could see the entire Happy Tree Valley from there. Infact, on a clear day, they say you can see all the way to Appledale, a town 100 miles away.

Midnight's jaw dropped. "Wooooow", she said in amazement. They sat down to watch the sun set.

After a few minutes, Prickly decided it was time to make his first move. He yawned and stretched his arms. When he came back down, he put one arm around Midnight.

Midnight started to purr uncontrollably. They leaned into each other, not even carring about the sunset anymore.

Prickly finally worked up the courage and said, "Midnight, I have something I need to tell you".

Midnight looked at him in mock horror and said, "you're not coming out of the closet, are you? Why does everyone come out to me?".

Prickly giggled and said, "no. I wanted to tell you... To tell you...", he couldn't finish.

"tell me what?", said Midnight.

"I have a crush on you", said Prickly.

Midnight was shocked for a moment, but she quickly recovered, smiled and said, "Prickly, I have a crush on you too".

Prickly cupped her face in his paws and kissed her.

They sat there for close to an hour. Hold each other, deepening the kiss, and exploring each other's mouths with their tongues.

Midnight finally broke the kiss and said, "Prickly, I hate to ruin the moment, but it's getting dark. Soon it'll be too dark to see the trail. So we should probably be heading back".

Prickly nodded as they stood up. He then smirked and said, "Midnight, are you afraid of the dark?".

Midnight looked at her feet and said, "yes, I am".

Prickly put his arm around her and said, "thats ok. I'm terrified of spiders".

She looked at him in surprise and said, "what? A big, strong guy like you? Afraid or spiders? I thought Marines weren't afraid if anything".

Prickly shrugged and said, "I got bitten by a spider when I was a child. I spent two weeks in the hospital, recovering".

"oh", said Midnight.

It suddenly got very dark. Prickly started looking around and calling, "Midnight! Where are you? I can't see you! Make some noise! Smile! Do something!".

(if you don't get the joke, midnight has black fur and it's getting dark)
Midnight smirked evilly, closed her eyes and said, "Bitch, find me now!".

They both giggled uncontrollably. Midnight then walked up to Prickly and kissed his lips. When she broke the kiss, she said, "C'mon. Lets get back to camp. They must be gettin' worried about us".

They walked, hand in hand, back to the campsite.

When the others saw them walk into camp, hand in hand, they all knew that they had said what needed saying.

Everyone tried to keep quiet as they sat down near the campfire and started cuddling, but lumpy cried out, "PRICKLY AND MIDNIGHT! SITTING IN A TREE! K. I. S. S. Uh... I N T!".

"Great timing, Lumpy!", Prickly called back. He turned to Midnight and said, "he's an idiot, what are ya gonna do?".

Midnight giggled and said, "This". She kissed him deeply. She whispered in his ear, "whadaya say? Wanna?".

Prickly looked at her in surprise and said, "really? Now? Here?".

Midnight nodded and said, "why not? I'm hot right here and now. Why wait?".

Prickly nodded and said, "good idea".

They both retired to Prickly's tent, and they made passionate love the whole night through.

Whew, done. There's one more chapter on the way for this. I gotta go. Please write your review on the back of a Large Dunkin Donuts frozen hot chocolate, and leave it in my in-box. Thanks, I'm McQueenfan95, I'll see ya next time, bye.
