the anthem won't explain it

Mags laughs heartily as he admits he ditched his brother. Good! Siblings weren't nearly as fun as exploring buddies! Secretly, she liked exploring with Davey. He was fun and dangerous! And he didn't care to talk about the hard stuff. They could just go on fun explorations and not have a care in the world! Like right now. Here at the moment, she loves it. Even if it is stinky.

Scrambling after him up toward the top of the volcano, she wrinkles her nose as the stink gets worse. "Oh, it'll definitely be better at the top!" She squeals as her paw steps on a rather sharp stone. Dang, those hurt! Recovering from the ouch as she continues to follow after Davey, only slipping a few more times, she easily catches up to him with her longer legs. "Only one way to find out!" Mags speaks with an exuberance that can only be matched by her friend as they race up the mountainside.
