A Hayu's Dream

down with his head in my lap. I put my diary on his forehead and wrote an entry in it. Heather came by and told us to go to the hut for dinner. Dinner was fish and oranges. It’s a welcome change to eat oranges. Christian asked us for a meeting. The sun is disappearing down the horizon. I am sitting next to the campfire. I hope I’ll be fine. There is enough light from the campfire for me to write in here. The meeting was about planting the apples in the ground and letting them grow. I suggest we tell the natives about the planting the apples in case they dig it up by accident and eat it. After the meeting I went to my bed to write in here. Someone left me a flashlight. I’m using it to write in here. Bruce is sprawled on his bed next to mine staring at the ceiling. There’s a hole in the roof over the fire. Christian and Maureen left to tell the natives about us planting the apples. The meeting lasted until now. I hope I’ll be fine tomorrow. I have been feeling sick all day. I didn’t write that because I didn’t want to. I wanted to wait until I felt better to write about it. I don’t know what I’ll do tomorrow. I think I’ll explore the island with Bruce. Maybe I could make something from the plants. The rug that I halfway made is hanging on the doorway. It’s a door way cover. Jordan and Julia are having sex again?! What’s wrong with them? I thought Julia was pregnant but she doesn’t look like it. They must be desperate for a baby. Bruce stopped staring at the ceiling and is watching them. I saw Jordan pull the blanket overhead. I think I’ll go out and get some fresh air.

Dear Anne,
I went outside with Bruce. We sat down in wolf forms next to a tree and leaned against it. I fell asleep leaning against Bruce’s chest. His chest isn’t hairy it’s muscular. I think I’ve got muscles. Luke woke us up at 6am. I think I passed out sleeping on Bruce. Breakfast was orange juice and bananas. It’s been awhile since I had orange juice. Luke showed the natives how to make orange juice. It was a treat. I wonder why we have to have meetings. I think there a good idea. I wandered around the island sniffing in my wolf form. The smell of water made me look for a pond. I found a pond with a waterfall that was huge. I saw several of the natives washing themselves with leaves. They were nude. They didn’t mind being nude or seeing me watching them. . I saw several males dive from a rock in the middle of the waterfall into the pond down below. The pond goes down the mountain to the ocean. I changed my form to Human and sat down on a rock next to the waterfall and pulled out my diary. I plan to take a bath later on. I don’t want to shower nude. No thanks. My underwear isn’t waterproof. A male native walked towards me is nude. I’m trying not to gawk at his private part like Human males. He sat next to me and watched me write. I saw Bruce at the top of the mountain. Bruce jumped into the pond. I can’t believe he did that in his clothes. I hope he’s not interested in me. Bruce came walking out of the water completely wet. I can’t believe he jumped. Bruce looked a little annoyed toward the nude male. The male got up and dived into the water. Bruce took off his wet coverall showing his underwear was a black short with a black tank top. He wriggled out the water out of his coverall then he put it on and sat next to me. I saw the nude male on the other side of the pond. Bruce kissed me on the cheek. I wonder why. I hope there aren’t any problems. I hate to be the source of two males fighting over me. I really hope not. I took a nap with my head on Bruce’s lap. He stroked my hair. He woke me up to tell me it was lunchtime. The naked natives were gone from the pond. Lunch was fish and oranges. I got to get used to this. I wandered around the island. I explored most of it. There were parts the hoodlums wouldn’t let me walk on. They came up from the earth and told me in sign language that the area was forbidden. It was their area so they don’t want anyone walking on it. I noticed burial mounds. I think it was a graveyard. I wandered up the hill and sat down on top. I hope I’ll be fine. I noticed the nude male I saw this morning covered up. I hope he won’t make a play for me. I really do. I already found someone. The male stood watching me. He stood like a statue as I went down the mountain and see if camp needs some help with something. I wanted to jump down the waterfall but the male got in my way and shook his finger. I went down by climbing down the mountain. I reached the bottom to see Christian and Maureen went in the bushes. I wandered around camp and helped make baskets from branches. It was good to be busy. My hands got sore from making baskets. I even helped make rugs and huts. The hut we’re staying in is quite small. I think making a new hut is a good idea for the others to have privacy that made several huts for each of us. I’m getting a little tired of watching people have sex. Maybe it’s a good idea to see what sex might be like. I don’t know. Christian and Maureen came back with smug looks on their faces. I think they’re going to have children. Julia and Jordan gathered their things and moved into the new hut. The natives gave them a party celebration. Ler’co told me it was a marriage celebration. I can’t wait to get married to Bruce. After that Julia and Jordan went inside the hut closing the rug behind them. I went into a hut with Bruce behind me. Ler’co came by and told us that it’s best to wait until after marriage to have sex. I lip read him saying that and interpreted this to Bruce and I had a talk and agreed with Ler’co. We got our things from the other hut and hauled them to the hut next to the tree. I went behind a tree. I had a feeling of being watched. As I was pulling my underwear a male native came out of the bushes. I turned around and put my coverall on. The native tried to kiss me on the cheek. Next thing I knew he was laying on the ground. Bruce was standing over him with looks of fury in his face. Ler’co came by and talked to the native and told us what he said to the male. He explained Bruce was protecting his wife. The native apologized then Ler’co helped him up and hauled him back to camp. Bruce glared at me. I sighed and zipped up my coverall. Then I went to eat dinner. Bruce followed me back to camp. I ate fish and oranges. I felt fine. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Bruce angry. I guess he really loves me. There was a celebration. I met the chief for the first time.
Maureen interpreted what he said. “Hello my name is An’co. I welcome you to the tribe and join them in marriage.”
Bruce and I were married by a ceremony which was An’co waving a torch over us in four directions. Then he picked up dirt from the ground and threw it at us low in again four directions. He also did the same with a bowl of water. Then the natives took us to a hut and left us inside. Bruce is feeling under the weather. I don’t blame him. He’s still angry at the native male. Bruce is nuzzling my throat. Now his kissing me and watching me write. I think its time for sex.
Ooh,

Dear Anne,
I finally told Bruce about not having a period and a poor chance of conceiving. Bruce was supportive. He told me he had sex problems too. He added he had a poor chance of conceiving too. We had sex. I don’t want to write about it because I’m a little embarrassed.
We slept until noon. Bruce rolled off of me and got dressed. I watched him get dressed. He told me to get dressed. He watched me put on my clothes. I came out and the natives cheered. I went to the pond and jumped in with my clothes on. Bruce followed me and jumped in the pond with his clothes on too. We kissed each other then came out of the pond shaking like a wolf. Breakfast or lunch was fish and oranges. Bruce caught a fish in his pants. It was funny. Haha. I laid down on a rock in the sun with Bruce next to me. We laid down snuggling. I snoozed for a bit. I could see the big pond from my perch on the rock. Oh by the way the pocket I kept the journal in is waterproof. I’m glad about that. I feel much dryer but a little hungry. Bruce and I walked back to camp hand and hand. I ate oranges for a snack. Dinner will come soon. I asked the natives their name for their race. I was told Humania. What an interesting name. Luke came by and congratulated us. He hopes to be a grandfather someday. I really hope so. I don’t know if I can conceive. It might be interesting. Dinner was more fish and dates to eat. Heather watched me like a hawk when I wandered near the chocolate trees. Yina who was nursing
Orina watched her son. I’m surprised that Orina is being nursed. She looks two years old. I asked Yina how old was Orina. Yina told me she was three years old. I’m surprised that she’s nursing at three years old. The kid looks two years old. I asked her when she stopped nursing. Yina told me when she runs out of milk. I wandered around camp. Bruce kept an eye on me. He was watching me from sitting in front of his hut. The male who tried to kiss me told me his name is Ug’co. He apologized for not knowing I was married. I accepted his apology. Then Ug’co left me alone. I wandered around camp. I watched the sun set. It was very beautiful. I liked the sunset. Bruce came up to me and stood next to me. We watched the sun go down the horizon. Then we went back to our hut. I went to write in here. Bruce is staring at the ceiling as I write. He’s thinking because of the look on his face. I’m writing. I think I’ll ask him what’s he’s thinking about.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I asked Bruce what he was thinking about. He told me he
