Get In Loser We're Going Shopping!
As night fell and the girl stretched, flopping onto her stomach with her hind legs stretched out behind her and chin resting on her paws, she watched curiously as the landscape shifted before her eyes. Fireflies were rising from their hidden places, not many but enough to put on quite the display as they traced lazy patterns through the air - one even landed on her nose! Eyes wide and bright, the girl did her best to look at it, crossing her eyes in the process and eventually sneezing. As the bug flew off, she fell heavily onto her side and huffed. Being alone was boring!
Leaping to her paws, Caelestis looked around for something, anything at all to entertain herself with. Nothing. Ears fell flat and she pounced on a firefly resting in the grass, tail flicking as she tried to figure out what to do. She wanted fun, adventure! But so far... nothing.

Spring was here, and everything was warming up. Hallelujah! Exploration could fully commence, and she could get into real trouble! No worries about starving to death! She sauntered ever onward, and was finding everything to be as wonderful as promised. Where were all the pretty girls hiding? Caramel coat glittered each time a firefly bumbled too close to her.
There was someone else kicking around here, it seemed. Enjoying the late night, no doubt. It was warm, and the lake looked like it would be blissful at a time like this. Now that she was technically an adult, she was feeling like she needed to remind herself that she was still a young fool. ”Hey kid,” rough vocals greeted the pup, trying to ignore the fact that the youth in question was, in fact, bigger than her. ”what's happening?” Her tail flagged over her hips, casual and cocky. Sunshine gaze full of energy and mischief, she snapped her teeth at a firefly passing overhead. Silly bug.

When he saw a lake up ahead of him he paused, watching the fireflies as they meandered through the sky and made it look like tiny stars were tracing haphazard paths through the open fields. It was a pretty sight, and he wasn't the only one witnessing it! Two females were off to his right, only just greeting each other. With nothing better to do and a desire to stay up late, Amos trotted to meet them.
Sitting down to Caelestis' right, he made the little gathering into a triangle and grinned at both of them,."Having a party here?" he asked with a toothy smile and a few taps of his tail in a friendly manner.
The light of the day had long since ebbed and dwindled to nothing, now as midnight marched steadily toward them the air was cooler and damper than it had been. In the sweet rain-washed darkness the sounds of the night became loud in the babe's ears, even the rustling of the leaves and the whisper of the wind was thunderous. She swore that in the absolute blackness of that midnight world she could have heard a beetle in the earth. She harbored suspicious for none but the living things; the creatures endowed with sentience, the ability to deceive and corrupt one's soul. The woodlands were but inanimate constructs that could be bent to one's need as long as the mind was willing. And surrounding them were the welcoming shadows, the dark hands with spindling fingers beckoning to the wayward to lie within its arms. But in them were dangers as any place that provided shelter, for in them could have been demons..the deceiving minds with malicious hearts.Her paws led her were, but paused to a sound, the progressive march of eager limbs coming from her back to carry along at her side and forward. Practiced skepticism pricked her hackles but did not turn her regalia, but an ear did bend to heed the lulling tones of the nightly wanderer. Suspicious...no....the woods were of nature and thus they were home to the wandering soul. But the male beside her warranted more of her care, earning a pause in her stride to better rest her gaze upon him and it was not until she too a paw forward that she recognized him.
Flicking an ear and offering the golden woman who'd suddenly appeared an indignant look Caelestis huffed, her sassy response consumed by her boredom and she groaned, "A whole lotta nothing, that's what!" The girl was about to collapse on the ground in utter defeat to further emphasize how distraught she was at the lack of things to do, when more wolves began to trickle in. First one older boy who asked if it was a party, to which she'd have also delivered a scathing retort but then another guy showed up who seemed to know the first one and she began to think that the night might prove to be an interesting one after all.
"It's open to anybody fun," she stated with a smirk, taking this silly party joke and running with it. At least everybody was kiiind of her age. She was still obviously the youngest, but she could roll with it. She could be grown up like the yearlings around her, yeah, sure. Glancing at the newest arrival, Caelestis would turn her attention to the others, asking, "Ya' think you guys can make a fun 'party', then?" The little smile tugging at her lips had a wickedness to it. Finally, a chance to socialize with others, and have some real fun.

The younger girl seemed miffed by her appearance, if not the entire world as a whole. "A whole lotta nothing, that's what!" She announced, gaze flicking away from her almost instantly. Well then. A male appeared now, larger than herself, but friendly enough. The rolling, easy strides of his gait painted him as nonthreatening. Good, because he was pretty damned big. He sat down heavily beside the young girl, and grinned at them. "Having a party here?" He asked. Ordinarily, she would have said something sarcastic at this point. Tonight just wasn't her night, apparently. Someone else came sauntering up. This one was massive. Cloaked in hues of ash and dust, mottled with snow. Those eyes. Wow. For a second, she wondered if she might be experiencing attraction. Nope, nothing. Just a good lookin' guy. "Is this a private party or can anyone join? Amos, it's good to see you again." He was looking at the other guy. She committed the name Amos to memory, along with those two toned eyes. "It's open to anybody fun," the young girl snarked, fearless. Yes, this one was good. The caramel damsel grinned at her, loving her spirit. Of course, this wasn't the end of the arrivals. Next came a female with fur the colour of oak, swathed in riches. Holy shit. Now that was a damn fine piece of work. Had she believed in a higher powers, she might have given them "the nod". Instead, she tried not to stare too intensely. "Ashiel?" Good, another name to add to the guest list. The titan of a young man was named suitably. "Seems like everyone has plans tonight." Alright, enough was enough. Too many wolves, not enough talking and having fun. The young girl spoke again, and broke the spell that seemed to keep them from really getting into any trouble. "Ya' think you guys can make a fun 'party', then?" ”Sure, I'm the party master, you know.” The golden brawler announced with a broad grin, tossing a wink the girl's way. ”Anyone know where we can get some booze? I can find some cannabis, too, if we want.” Go big or go home, right? Besides, a party wasn't fun unless you could barely walk while it was happening. Whether or not you remembered it the next morning was just icing on the cake, really.
