Porcupine Ridge Grab your passport and my hand

At the next question Slavik gave an amused snort. The fact that he was enjoying himself so much on this adventure was almost ironic, considering how hard he'd made Simsey work to get him to leave, I didn't at first. At Kendry Plains, we have this tradition that kind of sucks a little bit, when you turn one you have to decide whether or not to pledge yourself to the pack and stay, or leave. Either way its a go all in kind of deal. I was originally gonna stay with my sister Arway, but my other sister Simsey convinced me that we should leave and explore the world together, he explained.

I was so stubborn too! I really wasn't gonna go, but on the day we were supposed to decide I made this spur of the moment decision and went with her. We had fun traveling together at first but then one day she decided she would be fine without me. I was real pissed at first but everything turned out ok, he said. He'd never been one to keep secrets, so his past flowed easily from his lips.

Speedy spoke next about her own pack, as Slavik groomed her back. They were both from the south it seemed, and were used to the heat. Overall, their stories sounded sort of similar, other than his family traditions and indecisive sister. Same, glad I left, but I loved my family. Still do, he said, feeling the bitter sweet feeling he sometimes got when he thought of his parents, and Arway, and even Sim, all together as a family.

He still wanted to know more about Speedy, and a question popped into his mind. Ok, so I'm sure you get this one a lot, but why Speedy? He asked, curious as to the name. There had to be a reason for that frickin awesome name, either that or her parents just had style.
