Quote: Chayton grinned.
"Oh good!" Elan laughed. He settled down to watch their pups.
"Yeah Izou.... you are Storm." Timber said matter of factly, and stalked towards him. Meadowlark, despite her shy personality, lowered her head and stood beside Izou. She growled.
Nikki grinned slyly, wagging her tail and splashing Chayton.
"Wait," Leafe said, stopping, "who's gonna be mean ol' Nikus and Thistles?"
"Timber will be Nikus," Izou replied instantly, "and you, Leafe, will be Thistles."
"I don't wanna be Thistles!" Leafe protested.
"Well, too bad." Izou strutted back over beside Meadowlark and let out a puppy growl, bristling his fur.
"Hey!" Chayton laughed, kicking out at the water with his hind legs.
"No! I don't want to be Nikus!!" Timber snarled, then ran at Izou. Meadowlark met her brother halfway and slammed into him.
Nikki giggled.
"Hey," Leafe said to Timber, "don't be mean. If you don't like it then you don't have to play."
