Repeating the Past [Shiver]

[Deleted]

Scorpius leaped up onto his large paws. "Really? Wow, okay then! I'll teach you!" He shook out his fur and scampered over to the nearest pebble. It was a round blue river stone with tints of rose. He passed it in between his paws. "The object if the game is to knock the pebble through the opponents goal," he motioned to the looping root behind him, and the arch behind her. "Who ever gets 5 points first wins." He explained.

Echo

The prospect of a competitive game got her riled up. She dropped into a crouch and wagged her tail. "You're on!" Echo tensed her muscles in preparation for his attack, excitement building up. This will be fun.

[Deleted]

Scorpius waggled his hindquarters in excitement. "May the quickest wolf win!" He barked happily, his blue eyes narrowed in friendly rivalry. He batted at the pebble and it skidded across the ground towards her goal.

[6dewdrops]

Echo

She stepped in front of the pebble and felt the tap of the stone. Echo flicked the pebble in the air. As it began to fall back to the ground, she batted it, flinging it toward Scorpius's goal. 

[Deleted]

Scorpius let his tongue loll out if the side of his mouth with joy. His paw narrowly missed the pebble and it skidded towards his goal. He twisted and ran after it. THUMP! The stone hit the root and didnt go in. "Haha!" He scooped up the rock and flung it the other way, it bounced once in the first before skidding towards her goal, hopefully right under her legs.

Echo

She watched in horror as the rock passed under her and into her goal. Now she was angry. Echo plucked a nearby rock and slid it at the edge of his goal so that it would bounce in. If this didn't go in, she wasn't sure what she would do. 

[Deleted]

Scorpius was so busy giggling at her strange expression that he noticed too late the pebble sluding into his goal. He leaped forward, only pushing the stone further under the root. He hated to admit it, but he was a site loser. "1 for 1." He grinned and batted a new pebble towards her.

[6dewdrops]

Echo

She watched the pebble slowly creep towards her. Echo placed her foot on top of the smooth stone and glared at Scorpius. She said, "Play seriously," before launching the pebble back at him. 

[Deleted]

Scorpius shook out his fur a bit, and rolled his shoulders. "I can't help being goofy." He grinned again and shoved it towards her, his paw giving the stone the momentum it needed. Now all it needed to get in would be for Echo to let it slide. The rock was going pretty fast. He but his lip hopefully.

[6dewdrops]

Echo

She went to guard the shot, confident in her goalie abilities. Smirking at Scorpius, she glanced down to admire her save. Echo gaped in shock. No rock sat unmoving in front of her paw. She placed her head between her legs and stared in shock at the rock mocking her from inside her goal. Echo looked up with renewed vigor and launched a medium sized rock near his feet, hoping he would jump away and let it go in his goal. 

[Deleted]

"2 to 1!" He howled in laughter. He was laughing so hard, that when the rock came hurtling towards him, his instincts kicked in. He leaped to the side, allowing the rock to slide through the arch. He smiled sheepishly and flung a decent sized stone well away from her. If all went well, it would bounce off that root, off that large rock and into her goal.

[6dewdrops]

Echo

She watched him fling the next rock. Her eyes followed it as it went in a different direction. What is he doing? Echo realized too late what his plan was. She tried to lay in front of her goal. The ground jumped to meet her and the air was knocked out of her. Did she get it? Echo turned her head and saw the rock sitting in her goal. She growled and jumped up, flinging the next rock. 

[Deleted]

Scorpius smirked happily and flicked his ears. "You'd move Echo." He rolled her name off his tongue, testing its flavor. He pawed at the ground eagerly.

[6dewdrops]

Echo

She shot him an icy glare. No way was she going to lose this. Pawing a nearby rock, she flicked it at him. One the rock had barely left her paw, she threw another. And another. And another. She threw five rocks in total. All that was left to do was watch the rocks fly into his goal. 

[Deleted]

One rock, two rock, red rock, blue rock. Gosh! That's a lot of rocks. Scorpius supposed he should let her win. Best not be too haughty. One went in, another went in. Three rocks went in before he could react. He leaped over, smashing his large paw down on the forth pebble as the fifth one skidded to a stop next to a cluster of mushrooms.
