›if things go wrong we can knock it down‹

Walk | Talk | Think

Gale was entirely unsuspecting. Her thoughts were in a scramble, too busy thinking about who she ought to try bothering for something to do, too busy considering all the things she would have rather been doing. Inattention allowed her elder brother to sneak in close, to tiptoe his way toward her without her realizing his approach until it was too late. Her thoughts even shifted to him momentarily during her considerations, but she still did not realize that he was presently a lot closer at hand than she thought.

That is, until he pounced.

The sudden shadow that overtook her much smaller frame as her lightning-streaked brother jumped out at her had her screaming even before he touched her, a candid yell of surprise as she nearly rolled right back over onto her back again but stopped partway through the act. Her forepaws reached out, ready to push him away, but he only reached in to quickly press his nose against her cheek and leap away with a victorious cry, instigating a surprise game of tag.

For a split second, Gale did nothing but stare at Voltage through widened green eyes, feeling her heart hammering in her chest as she still lay partly upon her side. Jeez, did he need to leap out at her like that?! She could easily have given into the scare and simply collapsed there amid the grasses until her heartbeat slowed and her breathing became regular again...but where was the fun in that?

"You better run, Flash!" she yelled after him as she scrambled up onto her lavender-touched paws and raced after him, determination set within the narrowing of her pale eyes and the smirk that curved up one edge of her lips.
