40

Kaoru pilots the Orion up a river to find a place where they can come to shore, and they decide to stop for lunch on solid ground. As the children set up a picnic, they all notice that Sharla has become a much stronger person than she used to be, and conversation quickly turns to everyone's parents. Luna, however, as the only one of the human children who is an orphan, becomes saddened by the conversation, and Bell notices. As the children plan their route, they decide to spend the day replenishing their supplies. Suddenly, an earthquake occurs. Kaoru fishes, Chako and Shingo check the ship, Luna and Bell find an edible cactus, and Sharla and Howard discover a pair of ostrich-like birds taking care of a nest. The children all go to see, but the male chases them away, and Adam trips over, scraping his hands. Later, Bell goes to help Luna make dinner, and he clumsily offers to be Luna's family since she has no one else. Howard, overhearing, misunderstands it as a marriage proposal, and tells the rest. When they come back to the group, Howard teases Bell, causing him to run away, and Luna follows. The two go back to see the nest again, and Luna tells Bell that she's realized she's not alone like she thought - she has all of the other children as a family. Luna catches the rest of the children eavesdropping on them, but as they all prepare to head back to the ship, Adam suddenly becomes weak and feverish. (Source: Wikipedia)
