In her high pitched growl Ever spun around and gnawed on Natsuos tail.

 Sparrowhawk and Skylark arrived at the Oasis and bent their heads down for a drink, "Refreshing" purred Skylark. She turned and saw Ritsika and Aljan facing eachother,attack-like, and figured they were playfighting or something. Running up to them with her brother on her tail she asked, "Whats up?"

Spirit just stood there watching the three cubs play fight, and she couldn't be more proud. She had helped raise Ever since she wasa newborn after her mother was killed by hunters.

((sorry for short fail posts))

((It’s ok. I can do epic fail ness too.))

Asher got up slowly stretching each leg until his muscles were tight then relaxed them. Walking over to where Spirit was sitting, he sat down beside her. “They sure do have a lot of energy now don’t they.” Spirit nodded in response to the obvious statement, “They don’t even take naps for very long anymore,” Asher said. I almost liked them better when they were little. At least then they didn’t nag nearly as much. Silly cubs need to learn some manners, where the ones that feed them. “Would you like to come with Yoji, Natsuo and I as we head for the Oasis. It’s starting to get quiet hot out, you and Ever could use some water.” Asher gently pushed Spirit on the shoulder, not giving her a chance to answer. 

Aljan and Ritsika both startled a bit when Sparrowhawk and Skylark came up to them. Ristika recovered first and said, “Nothing but the great clear blue sky. Did you already hunt for antelope? Aljan and I were arguing about who would get the first catch of the day. Though if you already went hunting then I guess we both loose.” I’ll still catch some prey before Aljan. He waits to long for his prey to stumble upon him. I like the chase, even if I don’t get the reward of a meal afterward. Glancing at Aljan, Ritsika knew that he was thinking the same thing.  

Alell was on her way to the Oasis, walking really slowly thinking to hard to really get anywhere fast. I wonder why mom left. Aljan has been a good dad but it’s not the same with no mother. Ritsika has been great too, though sometimes I forget that she’s not very old, she’s so kind and compa.ssionate. At times we fight and that’s when I remember that she’s only a six, two years ahead of me. Then I’m growing again and now I’m a bit bigger than her, I’m more like Aljan now. Sighing, Alell looked up and flew to the right. Jumping into the air she landed with all her fur sticking at every angle, chirping with laughter she really looked at the bush she about walked into. Not paying any attention, Alell had almost ran into a bramble bush that slightly resembled a boar. Don’t want to run into a mommy boar, she’s almost scarier than a mad lioness.

((go ahead, write as much as you want.))

Pushing back on Asher's shoulder, Spirit purred, "It's true, I'm parched" she turned to call the cubs,  then said"Lets go"

Sparrowhawk was panting after the long run, "No. We didn't catch anything. I didnt even think about it." only now noticing the emptiness of his belly he said, "That would have been a good idea, I'm starved" Skylark chirped in agreement (((((Cause Cheetahs do that))))) and opened her mouth to scent the air. "I can't scent anything. Lets split up" the other cats nodded and they all ran their seperate ways

 Dingo and Thorneyes were walking to the Oasis to get their daily drink, and perhaps lounge there fora while. Thorneyes lifted her nose to scent the air and realized they were following Alelltrail. She was delighted, Alell was a good friend. Even though Thorneyes was much older than her. Dingo saw Alell farther ahead and nudged Thorneyes, she just sai, "Iknow Dingo, she's right a head of us"

(((I love how Cheetahs and most Leopards chirp like birds, they sound so cute!~)))

After stopping and really looking around her Alell noticed that Dingo and Thorneyes were following her. Turning around she bounded over to them, a short distance from them she halted and asked, “Are you going to the Oasis?” It was a silly question but she always spoke before she thought. Thorneyes gave a rumbling purr of laughter, while Dingo replied, “Yes we are.” Jokingly he asked, “Is that where you are heading?” Chirping with laughter herself she said, “No you wild dog, I’m going to the Waste Lands in search of mysteries!” The three of them set off to finish their walk to the Oasis, all the while laughing and joking to each other. On a last thought Alell wondered, how could any cat leave these kind souls. They would be out of their minds. All-well I guess it's each to their own and I like it with them.

Sharing their catch Skylark and Sparrowhawk layed down. After eating her fill Skylark stretched out and let out a purr. "That was good, but now I'm tired." she laughed curling up for a nap.

Aljan jumped down from his perch on a tree branch. I wonder what Ritsika’s problem is. That was a big leap for just a little dream. Jogging down the slope then up the rocks to where Ritsika had been napping, Aljan meowed a greeting. Ritsika startled a bit, but returned the greeting with her warm eyed smile. “What do you want Aljan?” asked the leopardess. Aljan mocked a hurt heart, “Do I need something from you? Maybe I just wanted to talk!” Both purred at Aljan’s obvious fail at acting. “You might but I don’t think I’ll believe it until I hear it,” chipped Alell. Aljan replied, “Then hear this, are you ok? I was watching you while you were sleeping and you seemed to have quite a start.” Aljan could tell that Alell was about to make a remark on his spying on her but she thought better of it when she saw that the other leopard was serious. “Well…I don’t think it was much of anything. I got too much sun most likely.” I don’t believe that for one moment, you can run tirelessly for the whole day in this heat. I know from experience. Nodding in a way that Alell knew that he didn’t believe it for one moment, he said “If that’s what you want. You can always talk to me; I can be a very good listener if you give me the chance.” Baring her teeth she sneered, “You seem to be doing all the talking.” Aljan watched her stalk away; I think I pushed too hard. She’s a very independent cat and isn’t fond of being cooed over. I just hope that she takes my offer because for her I would gladly take some of that burden she carries.

(( I don't know how to incorperate your characters at the moment. I hope that you can just barge in some time. ))

Kottur yelled at the strange cat, "I am Kottur and this is my brother Paka! We mean no harm, we are peaceful , but we were driven out of our old home" he started to think of his old home, Lush forests, Deep quick rivers, the ocean. Reality came back to him as a wave forced him under the water. he splashed and puled himself above the water, snarling when he saw his brother laughing at himm.

Paka couldn't help but laugh at hisbrother's obvious fail at swimming, and he teased him quietly, not wanting the cheetah to hear, "Whats a matter? She too pretty for you? Cat got your tongue" he roared with laughter as he swam to the more shallow part of the pool.

Paka was embarased, that had never happened to him before, he was usually the quietest of the two. Wow, she really is amazing, he kept thinking to himself, but like alwayss Kottur will probably get the girl.He sighed and pulled himself out of the water just a Kottur yelled to Ritsika, "We will, we don't intentionally cause harm, only to those who choose to fight us." his loud roar sounded through the Oasis, "Its only ever self defense"

Ever punced on Yoji's tail and batted it between her forepaws, sighing when he didn't fight back she curled up and tried to sleep.

Skylark and Sparrowhawk layed under the Baobob tree trying to keep themselves cool on the hot day. Panting heavily Skylark said to her brother, "You like Ritsika don't you?" He just looked at her and mumbled, "I- ummmm, no I-I uhhh"Skylark licked his cheek and said, "I won'ttell her, I promise"

((Omg like, yeah, Sparrowhawk likes Ritsika, and Ritsika likes Kottur. Drama!! XD))

((Don't forget about Alell she might like BOTH Paka and Sparrowhawk!))

Ritsika couldn’t help but think to herself, I wouldn’t mind seeing this jaguar fight. Maybe even with me. Shaking her head Ritsika saw Aljan glaring at the two new males. Oh course boys will be boys and I might get what I just wished for. Though Aljan wouldn’t stand a chance against two if the attacked as one. But then again I would get the second part of my wish. Often thinking of herself as a sick and twisted cheetah, Ritsika enjoyed a good argument or fight. It made her feel as though she wasn’t the only dominant in the clan. Too much stress on my own shoulders, I like it when someone else can handle their own.

Yoji whimpered at Ever, “Leave me be! I need my nap!” Natsuo teased Yoji by saying, “What you don’t want to hunt your own prey tomorrow?” Leaping to his feet Yoji yowled, “Of course I do you elephant head! The two brothers began to tussle with each other then some how ended up working together to pester Ever. Who ended up beating the two into nice pillows for her nap.
