"Jeeze, what a boring lake,"she grumbled to herself as she pawed at the flat surface of the lake in front of her. Her shadow coated paw sent a ripple out across the surface and she watched it fade back out into nothing till the water was smooth again. She glanced around at the empty grass plains on either side of her and, after seeing that there wasn't a single thing around to entertain her, she turned so that her back was to the lake, laid down on her stomach, and then promptly rolled onto her back so that she could stare up at the sky. The tip of her tail dipped into the water as it lightly lapped at the shore, but she didn't care. "Maybe I'll catch a fish on my tail," she thought to herself, a slight grin coming to her muzzle and a short cackle of laughter leaving her at the thought. The sky was starting to turn purple with the setting sun and she guessed this place was as good as any to try and get some sleep. She hadn't been doing much of that lately so she could only try to sleep and hope for the best. Before she could slip into sleep though, a light flicked past the corner of her eye and pulled her back out of her drowsiness. Her golden eyes blinked open and she saw the now dark sky above her speckled with stars. That flicker of light went past her again though and she tipped her head back to try and see it, making the world in her view look upside down. Fireflies! Suddenly she noticed the dozens and dozens of fireflies around her and scrambled to get back to her paws, ignoring the dirt and sand that was clinging to her back. She grinned and jumped to try and catch one of them between her teeth, her jaws snapping back together with an audible click just out of reach of the bug. She giggled wildly and moved on to the next closest bug, determined to catch one of the little glowing creatures. |
