“I’ve been thinking,” Nakoma said after a few minutes.

“Oh?” Pocahontas asked. She wondered if Nakoma had been thinking about the possibilities of their future friendship, as well.

“Since the boat is broken now and can’t go back in the water, I think we should just forget about the plant and walk home when it’s light again,” Nakoma said.

That was not what Pocahontas had expected to hear. “Are you sure?” she asked.

“I know we’d miss the chance to bring back the medicine for Tomoy, but your father and Kekata believed the men would make it back in time. I’d rather get home so my parents stop worrying.” Nakoma’s voice was soft through the sound of the crackling fire. Pocahontas knew she wasn’t making this decision lightly.

“I think you’re right,” Pocahontas said.

“You do?” Nakoma sounded surprised.

“I took on more than I could handle,” Pocahontas admitted. “We should have listened to the grown-ups. I guess maybe they really do know better.”

“Well, not all the time.” Nakoma giggled.

“No, not all the time,” Pocahontas said with a laugh. “Definitely not.”

As night fell, the two girls chatted across the fire, learning more about each other, sharing stories about their families, and finding new differences and similarities between them. Although they’d both be in quite a bit of trouble when they returned to their families, home was home, and they couldn’t wait to get back there. They soon drifted off into a deep sleep, ready to wake at dawn and face the journey to their village.
