A Blissful Afternoon
The following afternoon, Max led the way through the forest. The sun sparkled on the white snow and frost, creating beautiful light. "Max, we should rest some time soon," Gidget informed her boyfriend, taking notice of their exhausted friends. Before he could reply, the group stumbled upon a small clearing. An idea popped into Max's head. "Hey guys, we've been traveling for so many days. How about we play this afternoon?" he asked, glancing to his left and right.
Immediately, Mel and Buddy yipped with glee, dashing out to the middle of the clearing. Rolling her eyes, Chloe chased after them while Sweetpea clung to her head. Sighing, Pops and Leonard laid down under the shade. "Hey, Ozone!" Snowball cried out. Turning around, the hairless cat got a face full of snow. "You'll pay for that!" Ozone shouted, chasing the rabbit.
"Bet you can't catch me!" Gidget said teasingly, tagging Max. Chuckling, the small dog bounded after his girlfriend. Before long, he managed to pin her to the ground. "Bet I can," he whispered, wagging his tail. Gidget laughed, licking his nose.
Wow, I wish Sky was here... Duke thought sadly as he watched the two lovers. Just then, he heard little footfalls as Norman scurried past him. "I'll catch up Norman! Just give me a second," Tiberius called after his small friend. Stopping in his tracks, the hawk looked at the big dog. "Duke, enjoy yourself. You don't have to think about her with every second," he whispered. Without another word, the old hawk hurried after his little friend through the snow, hardly sinking into the white powder.
Suddenly, something hit Duke on the back of his head. Turning around, he saw Snowball and Ozone staring at him. The hairless cat quickly pointed at the rabbit. "Alright, you two asked for it," Duke warned the pair as he picked up a ball of snow. Making it slightly bigger, the big dog threw it. Snowball and Ozone didn't even have time to get away when it came crashing down on top of them.
Poking his head out, Snowball screamed at the top of his lungs, "SNOWBALL FIGHT!" Rapidly, Mel and Buddy began forming snowballs but were soon pummeled by Chloe. Ozone got hit square in the face by one sent from Norman and Tiberius while Duke and Leonard became moving targets. By the time the sun had sank below the horizon, everyone was exhausted not from the journey but their one day of fun.
