Yes, coach
“Hey, Mac! You done cooling down yet? Out here any longer and you’ll enter cryo sleep!” The big red boar had come to check on his star player just as the young grey wolf was finishing another cross-court dribble, leading to a layup...
The Best Beach Trip
I was lucky enough, a few years out of college, to find a really nice beach house for rent at an affordable rate at a beach I really liked. Well, I wasn't \*sure\* I'd like it the first summer I rented the place, as I hadn't even been before, but I was...
Fiery science
A Dodrio call sounded next to him, making the husky roll over in bed as one arm flopped around until it found his alarm clock and hit the snooze button. Ari grumbled a bit, cuddling himself up under the covers some more with his eyes still solidly shut...
Big cat, big dog, big meal
Sky was doing some machien chest presses when the wolf caught his eye. The Pyroar apparently caught the canine's eye, too, as the two locked gaze for a moment before the wolf simply continued on his way; he was drying himself off from the pool and was...
Meeting Cain Carson
It was way, way too easy. Not that I'm complaining, of course - I love easy. Low effort, high reward is the best way to go! I'm always on the prowl when I visit a party whether I planned on making a catch or not, and our eyes caught fairly early on....
Consolation
The year had started so well for Dennis. He had escaped the "big three" sciences of high school and was finally getting to dive into oceanography in detail - at least, he _would_ be able to once he got through all the intro earth sciences classes....
Scoring the Professional
Cain was back at the gym, slightly flaunting against his own rules as he worked off his latest Hunt when he noticed a rare visitor... One of the professional battlers on the local second-division team. Wouldn't that be a nice notch in his belt of...
The Eagle's Catch
“Yes, yes – see you in two weeks. Thank you sir! Thank you so much!" Click. You set your phone down on your dresser before dropping to sit on the foot of your bed. You got the job. You got the job! Holy shit you got the job. It's such a huge...
A Nice Swim
It was a hot summer afternoon as Kyle and his half-brother Percy sat back, trying to figure out how to pass the time. Both of their parents worked, and the nine- and fifteen-year-olds were between summer schools and camps and what else not at the...
The Neighbors
I love my apartment. Halfway between school and the bar district downtown, a nice walking distance if you're willing to walk for thirty or so minutes. And of course lots of busses. It's also great within my building: top floor, facing the courtyard. I...
Ara's first
Victory music played from the television, accompanied by both celebratory and profane yells from around the bedroom, followed by laughter as the game's result summary came up on-screen. "Are you ever gonna beat me one-on-one, Marc?" "Aw can it,...
Little Big Cats (com - Simbron)
"Ben, dear, please turn that down!" The white tiger cub sighed and replied "Yes, mom!", reaching for the remote and turning the volume down on his favorite movie. After eating dinner, Bengalic had done his chores and brushed his teeth as quickly as...
