She .looked over her degrees and none of them needed updating yet so she went onto her computer searching for job opportuntities. She noticed a name that she recognized and a couple old schoolmate and decided to contact them. They invited her to come down and check out the marshland and see if she would want a job down in Florida. She hung up and thought well at least it would be a change but would it be too much of a change right now. It diffinately was a change going to Colorado where she met her first bear when she came too close to it.

​ She saw pictures of her class mates on a airboat in their uniforms. She also saw them with an alligator whom they said had gotten too close to people's houses and the community thought that he endangered the lives of children playing outdoors. The alligator was described as a massive dinosaur like alligator that was over twenty feet long and weighed hundreds of pounds. The resort close to the community made the statement that they were their pets which everyone know that wild animals doesn't make good pets especially an animal that feeds onmeat and little children would be just an entree to them. Crystal told Shelly they try to catch them and take them away from civilazation but this alligator kept coming back so they finally had to kill him Shelly decided to at least go check out the job and at least she would be able to catch up on old times. She packed a couple of bags and recopied her certificates and made her travel arrangememts. She talked with her mother and sibling. Shelly promised them she would be alright..she took a flight to Florida and met up with her two old classmates. She was met at the airport by Shane and Crystal and their little boy who was two. She thought he looked such much like his mother. Too bad that both of their parents weren't alive to see him and both Shane and Crystal were their parents only child. When she arrived at their home she was informed that they had decided if any thing happened to both of them that they wanted her to raise Donaan. She said she would be glad to. Donavan learned Shelly name quickly even calling her auntie shell which they all laughed and she gave him a hug. She showed him a picture of a bear and gave him a big hug and told him that was a bear hug and when he woke up the next morning he wanted a bear hug from auntie Shell. While she watched him Crystal and Shane answered a call that there was a gaint snake that was in a cabin's bathroom.
