It was a warm spring day with the wind rustling the growing leaves of the trees. Fang sat on the edge of the sandbox at the local park. He smiled and waved at his mom, sitting on a park bench watching him dig in the sand. Minutes passed as he dug into the sand and filled a pail up. Out of nowhere arms wrapped around him. “FANG!” A voice shouted out. He turned around after the hug was released. He smiled at Vapor. His next door neighbor and best friend ever. “Hi Vapor,” he said and handed her a plastic shovel. They were both seven years old. Fang’s eye had healed up nicely from an attack at school and he was able to play in the dirt again. Vapor took the shovel and gave him a quick kiss on the side of his muzzle. They both blushed but quickly moved into the sand pit and started digging. It was the middle of May, school had just ended a week before. Both of them happy they didn’t have to be in school again. Although Vapor did enjoy school, she loved being around Fang even more. She picked up a shovel full of dirt and tossed it over in Fang’s lap and giggled. He laughed and then stood up. They watched as the sand fell back down to the ground and then he sat down again. They packed the pail down and Vapor flipped it upside down quickly. Both of them took the pail in paws and lifted it up. Both hoping that the sand would stay together to make a small sand castle. To the disappointment of both the sand ‘melted’ back down into a pile. They both shrugged it off and tried again.
Both Willow and Vapor’s mom called out to them. The two young cubs hadn’t a care for time in the world. Two hours had already passed and it was time for them to go home. They ran up to their parents.
“Mommy, can I stay with Fang tonight?” Vapor asked. “Oh, honey. I don’t know. That’s up to Ms. Wolfe,” her mom replied. “Ms. Wolfe, can I spend the night PLEASE?” Vapor asked with a big smile. “I don’t mind if you do,” Willow replied. “YAY!!!” Both cubs cheered and then hugged each other and then hugged their parents and the other parent. “I guess I’ll see you later then Vapor,” he mom said squatting down. “Love you mommy” Vapor cheered. “I love you so, so much Vapor. You’re my little darling. You be a good cub and listen to Willow okay?” Her mom stated. “I will mommy!” Vapor replied and hugged her mom’s neck.
The three of them watched as her mom left and got into her car and drove away. Willow got Fang, Pepper and Vapor loaded into the car and headed to McAnimals and grabbed lunch for everyone.
Back at home after watching a couple of hours of cartoons Fang and Vapor headed up to his room. They sat on the bed playing and building with MEGO blocks. After some time passed Vapor moved over and sat next to Fang. He looked over at him and smiled, as she did too. She exhaled and then inhaled and then locked him in a kiss for a few seconds. She pulled away, her face bright face. She quickly moved back to where she was sitting at before and returned to the MEGO bricks. He sat there a bit confused for a moment. He looked over at Vapor and smiled at her. She smiled back at him.
