it started back at the beginning

Indy fell onto the grass beside her and the pair of pups giggled and laughed. Her brother placed one massive paw on her chest and Aslatiel snuggled in close, wrapping her little arms around his neck to give him a squeeze. How did life get any better than this? Then Indy showed her. Her lavender sibling sat up, raised his muzzle to the sky, and howled. Purple eyes flashed with intense interest and, a moment later, she had her little chest pressed against his and she was howling too.

Aslatiel howled until her little voice cracked. When she was done, she collapsed backwards again, all smiles and giggles. She couldn’t help but wonder why her parents had tried to keep them from such amazing things. Suspicion filled her and the smile slowly vanished. Was there something out there that they didn’t want them to see?

Rising from her place on the ground, Asla swiped her tongue across Indy’s purple cheek. “What should we do now?” Dark ears perked and she listened for anything that might draw their adventure in a particular direction. There was a strange swishing sound a little ways off and her interest was instantly piqued. Slowly, and with great care, the tiny wolf snuck through the long grass. She eventually came to its end and her eyes widened. There was a long stretch of blue stuff just swishing on by. Reaching out one paw, she batted at it and her paw came away wet! “Indy! Look at this big wet thing!” What was it? What did it taste like? Leaning down, the creamy pup tried hard to lick the blue streak. Instead of licking it, she fell in face first.
