Making Friends [Tagged]

[Deleted]

Misty padded gently through the Lunar Meadow. The sun was starting to sink low as she went at a trot past many different stalks. She was feeling a bit tired from the walk to get here, so when she came to a clearing in the grasses she flopped down on the inviting earth.

Misty wanted to explore. It was a simple desire - go to some of the best places, then decide on a den. Although she didn't see why they called this place 'beautiful'. It was merely a meadow. Sure, it was nice, but it was just a meadow. Then, the sun started to set. Misty saw a blur of movement and struck out as hard as she could with her paw- sure enough, she'd caught a rabbit racing to its burrow tonight. She hadn't realized how hungry she was until she looked at that rabbit. Jaws watering, she devoured the rabbit, which gave her new energy.

Sunset had fully come, and she saw the ball of fire in the sky sink down, leaving a cocktail of pink, orange, purple and dark blue in the sky. Misty looked on in awe.

And then the moon rose. Hundreds of flowers bloomed around her, as she spun around wildly to try and see them all. When she'd looked at them, she paused.

There was two scents in the air. What's more, they were scents she faintly recognized. She sat bolt upright as she called out, "Who's there?"







Boomer

Boomer and Burnice;

Boomer had been walking for awhile, he looked up to see the sun set, Boomer sighed knowing that his best friend would have loved the view. Boomer looked down and groaned "If only Burnice was here, she would have loved the view." Boomer sighed again. He continued to walk again as he looked down to the ground, but then after a minute worth of walking he bumped into someone "Hey watch where you're go-" he said but interrupted himself when he looked up to see who he bumped into "Hey you." a soft feminine voice said to Boomer as the female smiled "B-Burnice?" Boomer's eyes widen slightly as he then smiled. Burnice's smile became wider as she spoke "It's been awhile, Boomer, I missed you."

"I missed you too! where have you been!?" Boomer said excited to his his friend. He wrapped his head around Burnice's neck as if he was giving her a hug, "Well, I just came out of the forest of love so.." Burnice said almost giggling nervously. Boomer's eyes widen again "Oh yeah... who'd you meet?" he did not want to ask but his voice was somewhat calm. "Well, I met a male named Kanga, and then at the same time I met a female named Chai.. long story short he walked out with her." she said calmly like she did not care too much. But Boomer sighed in relief, he was actually thankful that the male didn't go with her, but then it was selfish of Boomer to be thankful for that. He sighed again, Boomer couldn't have Burnice to himself, as much as he wanted he just couldn't the only thing that mattered was that Burnice is happy.. right? "Right, well, lets take a walk huh? lets catch up some more." he said pulling his head back and started trotting forward as Burnice followed him.

After at least three minutes both blonde wolves stopped and their ears flicked. "Who's there?" they both heard as they looked at each other, Boomer shrugged and Burnice raised a brow. When Burnice looked in front of her she saw a wolf from a distance, she glanced at Boomer before slowly walking up to the female "Hi there," she said calmly and softly as she then sat down. Boomer slowly walked up to both females "Hey, my name is Boomer, this is Burnice." he said with a straight face as he then also sat next to Burnice.

Two wolves came into Misty's vision, both a striking blonde colour. She heard the female talking. "Hi there." She spoke calmly and softly, and Misty found herself warming up to he. The male walked up to her. "Hey, my name is Boomer, this is Burnice." Boomer and Burnice? I feel like I know them from somewhere... She thought for a small moment, but after coming up blank dropped it as Boomer sat on the grasses. "Nice to meet you! I'm Misty, and I'm exploring different territories to find a place to call home. What are you guys doing around this area?" As she spoke, the clearing was awash with a littering of colours, lending an aura of beauty to the night. She was aware that she should probably be more cautious, but no wolf would ever dream of harming another here! Not when there was so much beauty! She could use getting to know a couple of wolves around here, especially when she was alone. Besides, what was a wolf's life without tales of friendship, of adventure?

Misty didn't want to have to find out. So she waited for a reply, silently sitting down, in this hollow full of colours.

[Boomer]

Boomer and Burnice;

"Nice to meet you! I'm Misty, and I'm exploring different territories to find a place to call home. What are you guys doing around this area?"

Burnice giggled a little, she placed her tail on her right side then. Burnice smiled softly, she thought she has seen this wolf before. But maybe not, she looked at Boomer who was just staring into the air. Burnice then looked at Misty "I came here because I had a bit of a feeling my friend here, was going to be in this area." she said still keeping a smile to her face. Boomer then suddenly looked at Burnice "Hey, that's what I was going to say! dude, it's like she was reading my mind..." Boomer shrugged "I uh, came here for the same reason, this place just seems cool at night huh?" he asked as he tilted his head. Burnice giggled again "Oh it's just so pretty here! All the flowers, I could just live here forever, you know?" she sighed lovingly, she was happy to meet a new wolf, that is another reason why she came here, to keep her mind of of things.

Boomer then suddenly smiled, he slowly blinked and his eyes glowed a little, making his electric blue eyes stick out.

"I came here because I had a bit of a feeling my friend here, was going to be in the area." Burnice replied. "I, uh, came here for the same reason, this place just seems cool at night huh?" Boomer asked.
"Oh, it's just so pretty here! All the flowers, I could just live here forever, you know?"
Misty agreed. "Yeah, I really do see why it's called Lunar meadows now." She tried to figure out what to say next. "It's beautiful, but I need shelter. But I definitely will come back here again!" She looked back at the flowers surrounding her. She was standing near a pink one and an orange one, watching as they painted her fur the colors of sunset.

"So, what's your plan? You know, every wolf has something they want to do longterm, or at least something short-term. I'm going to try to help as many people as possible, make the valley a better place, like my mom would've wanted." I just hope I can do it, she silently added. She looked at the other wolves expectantly. Her mom, Lily, would have told her not to be so impatient. But she didn't know where else to start!

[Boomer]

Boomer and Burnice;

"So what's your plan? You know, every wolf has something they want to do longterm, or at least short-term. I'm going to try to help as many people as possible, make the valley a better place, like my mom would've wanted."

Burnice and Boomer looked at each other for a moment, they had not thought on what they were going to do yet. But they needed to answer, so Burnice started first "I think I could start a pup thing, like a school, there would be different wolves trying to teach pups how to hunt, scavenge, and protect themselves from danger. Other than that I want to look for a mate and have puppies! " she said smiling brightly which only made Boomer blush slightly but Burnice wouldn't notice "I don't know really, I think I.. could help people out too, I think I'm going to become, neutral.. because I'm.. evil." Boomer said almost quietly but Burnice added something after that "But he doesn't act evil! not one trace! you wouldn't even think he's evil!" she said nudging her arm against Boomer.

He chuckled nervously before smiling, then he looked at Misty "For some reason, I feel like I know you from somewhere..." he narrowed his eyes to Misty. "Yeah, me too." the female said softly.

[Deleted]

Misty listened to the two, picking up on Boomer blushing to the tips of his light fur.
"Evil? Yeah, I didn't have you pegged as an evil wolf. Don't take this the wrong way, but you have an air of innocence around you. You're much too good to become a sly, manipulative creature, or dumb muscle that focuses on killing. Burnice, your pup idea sounds great! I could teach - I mean, if you want me to. My mom, Lillia, decided to teach me to fish, so I'd be open to teach any pups fishing and hunting." Misty's nose was being tickled by a yellow flower and she blew it away from her face. "I think hunting's my forte. Where's the school going to be, and will we open it up to pups of all alliances?"

She passively watched the two wolves, seeing Boomer's signs of nerves. She decided to blurt something out, then stopped. She didn't want to ruin any relation there. She remembered one of her mom, Lily's rules. 'Use your manners. Apart from just being polite, it will help you to seem better to the other wolf. And we don't want a large conflict, do we?' She settled for looking between the two meaningfully.

(Sorry for the long wait! Also, does Boomer only have one eye, or did WM heal that?)

[Boomer]

(Yeah I think he has both of his eyes because I made the thread with WM a little while ago and since that thread is finished He has his eye back.. I guess heheh)

Boomer and Burnice;

Boomer continued to blush when Misty said that there was an air of innocence around him "Really? Thanks." he said smiling at her. Burnice also smiled because Misty thought the pup idea is a great one "Thanks! Ok, so I think we could set it up in Kai Lake? I think that place is good for both fishing and hunting and with the alliance thing I think we could do one for all but then I think the evil pups would just bully the good or neutrals.. So that I might have to think about even more... Unless you had an idea, Misty?" the female tilted her head as she asked but then suddenly got distracted from seeing a blue flower with a darker blue rim "Oh my gosh that flower is soooo pretty!" she thought before ripping the root of it and Boomer helped her to put it on her left ear "Thanks!" she said to Boomer "No problem." they smiled at each other then at Misty. The female flicked her tail up and down while Boomer merely dragged his tail side to side "I think you can definitely teach! Which ever you are good at, fishing or hunting or whatever, then you can do it!"

[Deleted]

Kai Lake, huh? She hadn't been there yet, but it was a great idea if it was a lake - there'd be a constant source of water and a good spot for fishing, as well as hunting, as Burnice said. "Yeah, Kai Lake sounds good. And about the evil pups..." She tipped her head in thought for a moment. "What about a 'Three Chance' Rule? First chance is a time out, second you won't be able to come the next day, and third means you can't come back again. We will have to make the rules clear to any joining pups, but it should help curb the bullying. The same rule goes for all pups. We might get a pup that excludes others based on alliance. This is just a suggestion, but what about implementing more rules to keep order, with different stages of serious? Like talking back to a teacher could be worth half a strike for example." She finished speaking and shifted to look more closely at the pair, where Boomer kept blushing and ducking her head. She may only have been young, but even she could see that Boomer had a crush on Burnice. I bet at least one wolf has set up a betting pool, she thought to herself.

[Boomer]

Boomer and Burnice;

Misty gave a few good suggestions, but Boomer stopped blushing and his eyes widen, Kai Lake? Oh no “Uhh Burnice? I don’t think Kai Lake is a good idea...” he said slightly looking down then chuckling nervously. “Why so?” Burnice said tilting her head in confusion “Well... Kai? Remember Kai? That gigantic jerk?” he said almost loudly but only in anger. Burnice’s eyes widen then, she had forgotten about Kai “Oh he’s such a meany, I just wish we could do something...” she looked at Misty before smiling slightly “Then... Amoux Creek? I don’t think it has as much water as Kai Lake but I think it would be good enough. And to be honest what if we let an evil teacher join? Not a wolf who is insane for killing, but I think we should have a teacher for each alliance, oh! And it would be depending on the time of day, good wolves can take morning, neutral can take afternoon or evening and evil can take night. I kinda think it’s a win-win.” she smiled softly as she swayed her tail side to side. Boomer tilted his head for a moment or two then he nodded in agreement “Yeah, I kinda think that’s a good idea.” he then smiled as well before glancing at Misty.

[Deleted]

Misty listened to the two wolves' assessment of the areas.
"Kai? I feel like I know him, but I don't remember where from. Amoux Creek sounds good. I've been able to get some fish there before. And an evil teacher sounds good, but maybe we have different electives instead of 'morning, afternoon, night?' Like for example a hunting lesson and then a battle lesson then basic herbal remedies to expose the pups to different alliances and build tolerance. We need to make sure that any wolf we take on is doing this for the pups and not for themselves. There can be some manipulative wolves out there - Mom taught me that." Her eyes looked at the other two before she sat up straight. "What about the parents? I know Lillia wouldn't have been comfortable leaving me alone with a wolf she just met. Maybe we need a trial period, where parents can sit in on the lessons to make sure that it's satisfactory. So the day should probably have some lessons, a period for playing and a couple of meals - maybe they should eat their catch of the day, and we can supplement any wolf with less with something." She was aware that she was rambling, but didn't care.

[Boomer]

Boomer and Burnice;

both wolves eyes lit up "Great idea, Misty!" they both said at the same time. "I'll tell you ANY ONE would just LOVE Burnice! Who wouldn't? I mean she came up with the whole pup school plan and having it in Amoux Creek doesn't sound so bad, am I right? And-" he rambled on just before he got interrupted by Burnice "Ok Boomer I think we get it..." she said giggling nervously "Misty I just love your idea! Hmm what if we do on category a day? Like hunting on day and fishing the next or whatever. I am totally up for meeting the parents, I would completely understand that parents wouldn't be comfortable leaving their children with strangers." Burnice said as she glanced at Boomer slightly.

"Hey, I don't care as long as I get to help people." Boomer said laughing a little. They both stood up then and Burnice flicked her left ear "Right then, I think that about covers everything, unless we're missing something?" she said glancing at both wolves, Boomer slightly tilting his head and flattening his left ear. They both felt a soft breeze brush through their coats and Burnice smiled softly at Misty and Boomer. Her long tail swayed sideways as it almost dragged onto the ground. Boomer then sneezed a little, twitched his nose, and raise his right paw.

[Deleted]

"Yeah, a subject a day sounds reasonable. I think until we have more pups to teach, we should teach them all together. Then we could split them by age."
Misty looked up, feeling the moon wash her fur and a breeze start off. "So, when should we meet?" She asked the duo, eyes gleaming with excitment. I truly have a direction for my purpose! She couldn't wait to start, and besides, if she was homeless, this gave her a place to set up a permanent den! She lifted her head to the others, and found that she had shifted to be bathed in a wave of blue, purple and pink flowers, each staining her gray coat. She wondered if this was a sign, the quickly dismissed the idea as she watched Boomer's tail wagging and Burnice's flat ear. They're still extremely close. Great Spirit Wolves, how obvious could these two get before someone finally just snapped and told them, 'Look, Burnice, Boomer likes you romantically. You feel the same way. Just become mates already!' But, even though their obliviousness was a bit annoying, it was not the worst thing to see. After all, there was still love in the Mountain, and where there was love, there was hope.

[Boomer]

Boomer and Burnice;

"So, when should we meet?" Misty asked just as Burnice and Boomer looked at each other "I think we should get a little more teachers, maybe one for each subject. And Maybe next spring, summer or autumn, thats the best time to hunt." she said calmly before glancing at Misty "Which subject do you think you'd be best at? Misty." Burnice tilted her head as Boomer just stared at the blue flower that was on her ear.

"I think I can be a teacher of... uh, helping pups defend themselves?" Boomer said shaking his head then tilting it. "Oh! I know this is rare but what if there are pups that have powers? What if a powered teacher can teach the pups how to use the power? I don't know, but I think that could happen."

Burnice raised a brow but didn't look at Boomer, she shrugged and continued to look at Misty.

[Deleted]

"Yeah, subject teachers would be good. I think I'd be the best at hunting, but if another teacher comes along I won't hesitate to do fishing. Or maybe we combine the two? I agree on the 'power teacher' front. And you'd make a good fighting teacher, Boomer. But for now there is just the three of us, and we're unlikely to find that many pups to teach. So we can start small."
She turned to Burnice. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you never said what exactly you'd teach, Burnice."

She could start to see some pale dawn rays as the sun rose and the flowers started to dull and close. She bit back a yawn as she realised she'd stayed up all night. She needed to finish up soon so she could den down somewhere then go to set up a more permanent den in Amoux Creek. She was fine for hunger - the rabbit she'd caught ensured that. However, her throat was starting to feel as if she'd dumped dust down it. She hadn't talked this much since she travelled with Lillia. Her head started to droop. She quickly picked it back up again, widening her eyes to try to keep awake. "Sorry," she told her companions. "I haven't slept since dawn."
