Emma and Bort are in a Yellowstone forest, and that is hot enough to melt aluminum. But even there, it gets hot enough to kill. The name Yellowstone, after the world’s most famous geyser, is a reminder of this: in the Old Faithful area, there are no fewer than three geysers with enough force to propel water into the air and spray out hundreds of bison.

There were two reasons why Emma wanted to go to Yellowstone. She’d seen a video online showing wolves running around in the forests, and she thought it would be cool to see that for real. But the other reason Emma wanted to go to Yellowstone was so that she could play with the wolves. She’d read online that you could do that in the Old Faithful area, and she was determined to go there. Emma has wanted to go to Yellowstone ever since she first heard about the place. She dreamed of playing with the wolves, of spotting elusive bison, of hiking to the hot springs and cooling off in the steaming pools with Bort. But most of all, she wanted to see the Old Faithful area, where the geyser erupts every thirty-three and a half minutes, gushing water a hundred feet into the air. She made it a goal to take a bath in the geysers.

Bort wanted to come to Yellowstone because she wanted a large roasted bison. She was a fan of big roasted animals. She wanted to try to bring a bison home so she could breed it and roast its children. But she had never tried to do this before, and she wondered if she could do it without getting herself into trouble.

While Bort was looking for bison, Emma found a friendly pack of wolves. When Emma laughed, the wolves howled in delight. They came right up to her and lay their heads in her lap. They rubbed their heads all over her. They even started to lick her legs and tummy! It was quite a sight to see.

Emma enjoyed playing with the wolves after finding them. She learned that they were wild and that they had their own social system. She fed them scraps and let them jump on her which was fun for her, but it scared the wolves. She also liked playing with all the little wolf puppies.

While Emma is having her wolfly fun, Bort is looking for a way to bring home a bison. She had no trouble finding one, as they were kind of everywhere. She’d decided to sneak up on one and tackle it, like an impala. The bison struggles and makes odd squawking sounds as it flaps its legs. Bort carries the bison down a path and up a hill to a chain link fence. The bison makes more noises and tries to get away from Bort. Bort holds the bison and calls Emma.

Emma arrives shortly with a large pack of wolves. She kisses Bort and the bison moves away from Bort so it can lick Emma’s face.

Bort is excited! This is her first bison!

Bort thinks that bison will taste good, and so she decides to roast the bison whole and alive. It continues to squawk and flap its legs.

After the bison is done roasting, Bort drinks the bison’s soul and feels a sense of inner peace. She then joins Emma and the wolves.

Emma and Bort stand as they watch the wolves running and playing together. Once she gets over her astonishment, Emma looks around to see if all the puppies are safe. She is relieved to see that they are. They were all sleeping together.

Emma decides to call Harley on her cell phone. All the sleeping puppies reminded her of him. Harley agrees to come over and spend some time with the wolves. Harley is a very happy boy Emma and Bort make sure all the wolves are playing, and Harley plays with them for a while before coming over and laying his dead in Emma’s lap. Then Harley starts to howl. The wolves join him, even the sleeping puppies.

After a lot of playing, the trio have a nice dinner with the wolves at a fancy steakhouse. There, they roast another bison whole and share it together. The wolves seem to enjoy the bison and they eat it with a gusto. They drink the bison’s soul and feel a sense of inner peace.

After their dinner, Harley reveals to Emma and Bort that the wolves have invited him to a vacation with them and that he had agreed. Bort congratulated him and gave him a kiss on the nose. He wags his tail and runs off with the wolves. Emma and Bort watch him go.
