They had agreed to rendezvous with Shawna on Friday at noon near the bus station in Issaquah. She was easy to recognize; a short ferret in a bright Yellow sun-dress and sandals her mid-length Corn-silk hair like a halo around her head.

"There she is!" Becka exclaimed pointing at the bright spirit standing about four foot five and looking slightly lost. As Becka pulled over beeping the Jeep's horn to get the Ferret's attention pulling to a stop near her.

"_ Shaw- paws !" _ Becka squeed jumping out of the jeep and dashing around to give her friend a full body hug lifting the smaller Ferret and spinning her around in her embrace. Greg chuckled at his partners exuberant greeting.

"Beckers! My god, you look radiant! Your chakra's are so clear! What have you been doing?" Shawna asked.

"I'll tell you all about it on the way back to camp, Shawna you are going to have soo much Fun this weekend." Becka said as Greg got out of the jeep with a big grin on his muzzle.

"Hello Shawna. Nice ta meet you." Greg said

"Oh my God you are like so totally Old! Are you Greg's Dad?" the clueless Ferret asked in one long breath.

Greg Laughed, Becka face-palmed.

"Shawna... This, is Greg." Becka said.

"No way, this old Possum is the one who's been plowing you into Badger Fudge Ripple? Damn, he must be awesome in the sack!" She said almost skipping up to shake his hand.

"Love and Light, Greg, it's totally awesome to meet you, I am Shawna Moonchild you guys have to totally tell me all about how you two hooked up." the crystal powered New-Ager said as she was loaded into the passenger seat. Greg settled into the back as they got on their way. Shawna did not stop talking once on the way back to camp. Greg just chuckled shaking his head, Becka shot him a few glances in the rear view mirror grinning and rolling her eyes. as the bubbly Ferret gave a running commentary the entire trip.

"Wow, what an awesome sanctuary in the wilderness! you guys just come out here to camp and fool around in the great outdoors? She asked as they pulled into camp.

"Actually this is where we have been working for the last couple of weeks." Greg said as Becka took Shawna's bags to the tent.

"What kind of work would you do way out here...Are you guys making porno movies? Oh My Gawd! Becka! Are you gonna be a porn-star now?" the Ferret asked. Greg burst out laughing.

"Actually Shawna, I'm a gold digger." Becka said with a wink.

"What? No way! you are _ Not _ a cheap heartless Slut, Becka! Say it isn't so!" the Ferret protested. Becka face-palmed, again.

"Oh gods Shawna, you are so adorable!" Greg said with a delighted chuckle.

Becka placed her hands on the shorter Ferret's shoulders and for a moment she wanted to shake some sense into the twitterpated Psudo-shaman.

"Shawna. Greg and I are _ Gold miners _, This is his claim, we dig gold out of the ground run it through a sluice box and pan it out after..." she slowly, very patiently explained.

"Really??? you mean like with picks and shovels?" the Ferret asked getting excited.

"Yes!" Becka nodded with a grin on her muzzle.

"And a Mule!" Shawna asked looking around. Greg sat at the table laughing. Becka Face-palmed.

"...No... No Mules. We have the jeep over there." Becka sighed looking over at Greg who was rubbing his face shaking with laughter.

"Awesomesauce!" Shawna vibrated. "This place is so amazing... and hot." she said fanning herself as Greg came over handing her a bottle of water.

"Feel free to get comfortable Shawna we are far enough into the puckerbrush that you can run around as ya like." Greg said with a nod.

"Puckerbrush?" the ferret asked.

"Out in the wilderness, far from the eyes of the mundanes. Here, you can be free." Becka said and peeled off her shirt freeing the twins. Rubbing the fur on her chest feeling the sun and breeze caress her bare breasts glad to be topless again.

"This is what I usually wear around camp. Cargo shorts and hiking boots and a broad brimmed sun hat" the Badger said.

"You look so drop dead Sexy Becka! There is real gold around here? I don't see any tunnels or mine shafts? Are you sure you guys aren't just fucking in the woods?"

Greg pounded the table trying to contain his giggle fit.

"Yup there is gold to be found here and we _ are fucking... Fucking in the woods, fucking in the tent, fucking in the river, and most recently, fucking on the camp table. But that is generally _after the day's mining is done. Let me take you up to the bench and show you first hand what we do. Grab those buckets and follow me Shawna, and I will show you how we do it in a gold mine." The Badger winked, turned flagging her tail, picked up her pick and shovel, leading her friend up to the worksite.

Greg watched the two females walk up to the bench, the tasty little Ferret was yattering a mile a minute He was Very glad Becka had invited her friend to spend the weekend with them.

Half an hour later they reappeared. Becka with two full buckets of pay gravel and Shawna struggling with a single bucket that looked to be about one third full. She was setting it down and picking it up again every three or four yards. Becka had an evil triumphant grin on her muzzle. Greg walked up to the fun-size Ferret relieving her of the bucket of pay gravel.

"Here, let me take care of that, and you Come on down to the river hon you can feed this into the sluice. Then later, we will teach you to pan out your own gold. Doesn't that sound like fun?" Greg said with a grin.

"Well, okay, but I didn't see any gold. Are you sure you guys aren't just pranking me here? It seems like a lot of work for something you can't see." Shawna said as she followed Greg to the edge of the river where Becka was feeding a sluice-box with a hand shovel.

Shawna reached back and unbuttoned the top of her sun-dress and pulled it over her head revealing a dainty set of bra-less B-cup Breasts and a pair of rainbow tie-dyed panties hugging her hips.

"Freedom!" Shawna declared giving herself an all-over body shake. "mmm much better" she said skritching the light tan fur on her belly and chest inadvertently stiffening her perky chocolate brown nipples.

"Now that, looks much more comfortable." Greg said with a nod, openly admiring the nearly naked Ferret. Shawna blinked "Oh, Yeah, thanks, it is really peaceful I really love the energy out here."

"Nice Panties, Shawna." Becka said with a grin and a wink causing her friend to blush then giggle.

"Thanks I made them special for this weekend. Lots of etheric energy whirring around my first two Chakras." Shawna purred seductively.

"Careful you don't blow your Chakras...Shaw-paws, 'coarse Greg can do that for you tonight, if you are feeling adventurous." The Badger teased. "He's really good at it." she finished with a wink. Shawna blushed beet red.

Greg was a little slower on the uptake, chuckling a few moments later shaking his head "Oh lordy this is going to be a fun weekend." He chuckled.

"Remember how you said you didn't see any gold in the pay-gravel, Shawna?" Greg asked

the ferret nodded.

"Well iffin ya look at the assay mat here in the sluice box it is where you will see some of the gold washing out of the gravel." he indicated the black ribbed matting just past the flair of the sluice.

The Ferret looked then got closer bent down for a better look and saw it! Bright shiny flakes of real gold!

"Oh my, it's sooo pretty!" Shawna cooed slowly waving a hand about a foot above the assay mat. Greg and Becka shared a knowing look.

"Yup that it is, when we finish with this, we can do a clean out and then teach you how to pan it out. And you can take home your very own sample souvenir of Cascades gold.." Greg said with a grin.

"Wow, gold has such a high vibrational rate it is like the sun in solid form, Thank you Greg I think something like this would be very helpful to me." Shawna said in a dreamy voice. Greg looked at Becka who mouthed _ 'Told ya so' _ Greg just nodded rolling his eyes.

sitting in camp Becka and Greg taught Shawna how to pan the cons for gold.

"Oh my, what are these lovely red beads among the black sand and gold?" she asked fascinated at the treasures her gold pan was revealing to her.

"Those would be garnets or possibly rubies, they are a common element in the heavies along with hematite and magnesite and other iron deposits you find with gold." Greg instructed.

"would it be okay if I pick them out, they have a pure vibration I have never felt before...very ancient... and sooo lovely/". The Ferret trilled.

"Sure thing Shawna, Becka can show you how to separate them you can bring back all three if you wish. The black sands, the garnets and the gold." Greg said

"Beckers, you are soo right, he is special and Not like anyone I have ever met in my travels here on earth, or among the celestial spheres."

"Uh...Thanks, I guess?" Greg said unsure what to make of the mystical mustilid's words.

"This is so fascinating. I never thought all this was in those buckets of what looked at first glance like just sand and gravel. This is the true alchemy of the earth; quite literally gold and gems from common dross. This is a fantastic augury for the solstice. I can charge this elemental gold with the very power of the sun on solstice! Thank you Beckers, you are a true kindred spirit, and one I consider to be my soul-sister."

Looking at Shawna's pan she had a really rich load of gold, at least four pennyweight if Greg was to make a guesstimate. "Well Shawna looks like you got a good pan there, looks like a good four pennyweights that is worth about two hundred and fifty dollars as well as a good collection of garnets, you can have the ones in my pan as well if you like." the seasoned prospector offered.

"Thank you Good sir, but the mundane crass commercial value means nothing, it's true value to me is in it's ability to radiate the sun's vibrations in the workings I employ it in." She paused and looked into the Possum's eyes and smiled, radiating pure, unconditional love. Greg returned it in full measure. Shawna set her pan down stepped around to where Greg was sitting and sat in his lap, clad only in panties and sandles facing him laying her hands lightly on his shoulders looking deeply into the Possum's eyes, searching then very quietly asked " Greg... Will you make love to me tonight, please?" a soft smile drew itself across her muzzle.

"Anything for a lovely lady. I am at your service." Greg replied.

"Oh Shaw-paws honey, you are about to get the servicing of your life." Becka said in a voice husky enough to pull a sled. The ferret looked over at Becka.

"I'd like you there too Beckers, Love is love..." Shawna paused looking deeply into the violet eyes of the Badger.

"....And it is all good." Greg finished.

"You understand!" The fun-sized ferret said turning back to the possum.

"Unconditional love? Yes. Becka can tell you it was the subject of some of our first conversations." Greg said with a smile.

"Greg placed an ad in the online personals looking for some special companionship." Becka smiled "Something about it really spoke to me. So we agreed to meet at the coffee shop in the U-district, and we really hit it off, went out for a light meal after then back to his place for a bit of mutual fun..." Becka smiled fondly remembering that encounter.

"Watersports? I always knew you were into that, despite not offering to share it with me." Shawna said. Her green eyes sparkling, Becka Gasped in shock.

"What? How did you know! I never said..." Becka protested.

"You are my soul-sister. Some things we have in common where our interests in our lives overlap." The ferret smiled "Perhaps you two could do that for me tomorrow as part of the solstice ritual, as I am charging the elemental gold with the power of the sun, you two could be charging me with your own golden showers?" The Ferret giggled "Love is love and it is all good. My spirit guides told me something wonderful would manifest for this solstice ritual I am soo glad it all worked out this way."

"Well than I should purify another ten gallons of water tonight." Greg said.

"You don't use chemicals, do you?" Shawna asked.

"No I use a ceramic filter impregnated with silver with an activated carbon secondary, it is slow, but it purifies without chemicals so we can pull water out of the river. I was raised with the axiom: Water shared, is Life Shared. This just takes it to a new level."

"Awesomesauce! I have never had more than one person 'gift' me before. let us harmonize our energies in the sharing of unconditional love, wherein the three shall be one."

"Well you don't have to worry about being safe." Greg said and Shawna cut him off.

"I never worry about that, I place my trust in the goddess as her acolyte her will determines my time and season." The Ferret declared.

"Well... okay then no worries, but I do have condoms if you didn't bring any.

"Never use them, it would violate my covenant with the goddess but I do believe in testing... and Toys... lately it has been lots and lots of toys but now she has granted me a real male who understands unconditional love. Who can pump his baby-batter deep into me, into_All_ of me." she said looking slightly glassy eyed in eager anticipation.

"Oh yeah, he can do that, he did it to me on our first play session... No holes barred!" Becka whispered with a giggle. The Ferret whimpered.

"It's been sooo long!" she moaned "I've been so empty..."

"And tonight, I shall Fill you." Greg rumbled reaching out to cup and caress her right breast.

"Oh. Oh, Oh, touch me, touch me all over, all I have shall be yours tonight a gift of the goddess to a very special man," Shawna crooned.

"And this, is my cue to clean up the camp and join you after round one." Becka said leaning in to give her ferret friend a long lingering kiss as Greg wrapped an arm around the slim Ferret who wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his hips as he carried her to the tent.
