Silver Spots down to the Bay

The golden girl didn't notice that a shadowy someone was on her trail. She had assumed she had snuck out of the den completely alone. She had heard a whimper but had thought it was from her brother in his sleep.  

She jumped out of her skin for half a second when the shadow approaching her spoke. She had been too focused on the writhing wriggling fish under the surface and the heron flying by. She playfully bodychecked his shoulder and stuck her pink tongue out at him in response, her little lithe frame would barely make a dent to his heavy build.

The bright moon reflected his tiny silver spots and his mischievous eyes, It gleamed off his horns almost as if like magic. He looked like the starry sky had come down to play with her, but she knew it was just her stinky big brother. She pawed at one of the white spots on his leg and shoulder as he talked about how swimming was the easy part. She wasn't the best swimmer but she was good enough to not drown. Was he going to teach her new swimming techniques?

She then followed his gaze and bent close to the water, her white fur reflecting the bright moonlight over the fish. They didn't dart away from her like they did for Jiro who would cast a dark shadow, alerting the fish. Her nose was barely an inch from the gentle waves when she nearly missed her only warning.

She only managed to lift her nose away from the water before she was rudely shoved into the silvery waves. She yipped loudly as she splashed full body with Jiro splashing after her, scattering the myriads of fish away from them both.

She came to the surface and scrunched her face at him then splashed a wave of water into his face before she dipped her head under the surface on her own.

The world was quiet as she held her breath, the water was cloudy from their splashing. The moonbeams shifted and traveled through the water like foggy god rays and illuminated the sandy bay floor and the gathering fish started to swarm the surface again.

She swam under Jiro and pawed his leg like she was some kind of sea monster before she came back up for air next to him.
