Milton was happy but he wanted to be happier. He walked and he tried to find a pack that he might join. He did not know if anyone would want him because he did not know how to do everything. Milton was scared that he would not be liked if he tried to join another pack. Milton wanted to be liked by his friends and he wanted to be loved. He found a pack border and he sniffed it. His made his auds go up and he listened to see if there was a wolf nearby. He wanted to see if they would let him in their pack.
 
Milton did not see anyone yet. Milton howled to see if someone would come to the edge because he did not want to be attacked for going into a pack he did not belong to yet. He wanted to make a good first impression. Milton was afraid that he would not make a good impression if he trespassed. He had never liked wolves that trespassed because it was rude and he did not like rude wolves. Milton waited with his tassel curled around his paws. He watched with wide hot hot pink eyes.

Another wolf showed up! Milton almost danced he was so happy. He looked at the other wolf with hot hot pink orbs and he smiled a wolf smile. When the other wolf came to him he had a smile too. Milton liked that the other wolf was smiling at him! He felt welcome. He liked to feel welcome and he already liked this other wolf. He wanted to be a good boy so he made sure he stood up straight and did not look aggressive. He wanted the other wolf to like him. When the other wolf said hello it made Milton very happy. He asked Milton if he wanted a home and Milton nodded his head.
 
“I am Meltin’ Milton Snakehole and I want to join your pack. It’s so pretty here. I really want to join.” He smiled and he nodded his head with an excitement. He wanted the other wolf to know that he was serious about being a member of his pack and that he wanted to be a great asset. He was a good man. Milton wanted to prove that to this wolf. He would do anything to join this pack.

Milton liked this other wolf. He was so nice. Milton had really hoped that they would be nice in that pack and it was nice to see that their Governor was that nice. If they had been a mean pack then Milton would not have known what to do. He would have had to run away and hide. He was scared of mean wolves because they would hurt him. He had been hurt before and he did not like it. He had scars on his body from mean wolves and he did not want to have any more.
 
Milton followed the Governor and he smiled. He liked the way he talked. It was very smart and nice sounding. “You can call me Milly! Lots of people call my Milly. It’s easier to say I think. I like it. You can call my whatever you want though. You are the boss.” Then the Governor talked about what it was like to be in the pack. He talked about being a Cipher and Milton thought that sounded neat but it was a low rank so it wasn’t that cool he guessed. But it looked like there was a way to be cooler. If he wanted to establish a role. Milton didn’t know what kind of role he would do well in. Milton was afraid he would disappoint his new Governor. “OH um. I don’t know. I would like to protect the pack. I am really good at chasing rabbits. I can’t swim though. I never learned.” But one day he would get a teacher and he would learn and it would be amazing. Then he could stop being so afraid of water.  

Wow! The Governor of the pack would teach Milton how to swim! Milton felt so happy. He was so alive. He did not know how to hold back his excitement. He jumped for joy and his tassel wagged really quickly behind him. His hot hot pink orbs looked at the other male and he thought he must have been dreaming. This wolf was so nice. Milton had never met such a person. He wanted to learn how to swim and he had joined a pack where the leader would teach him how to swim. It was so amazing. Milton almost cried because he did not know how to show his happiness. “You would REALLY teach me how to SWIM?! WOW! I think that would be so cool. You are so cool.” And he meant it. The Governor was so cool. Milton had found a really good pack.
 
The other wolf talked about some mercenaries in the pack and Milton got really nervous. He was afraid that the other wolves would think he was weak or not special enough to fight. But he was loyal! He wanted to protect his home now that he had one. He wanted to make sure that he kept it safe. He was a loyal wolf and loyal wolves protected hteir packs. Milton nodded his head and he got a serious face. “Ok yeah I would like to learn from these wolves. Do you think they would like to teach me? Also do you have lots of flowers in this pack? Flowers are the best.” It was true. Flowers were the best. If this pack was the best then it would have some floers.

The Governor thought Milton was cool!!! That was so awesome. Milton loved it there. He already wanted to do everything for the Governor. He was such a neat guy. So cool. Milton wanted to be that cool someday. He had a feeling if he learned how to swim he would be cool. And the Governor was going to teach him! Wow that was so special that it made Milton feel like he was special too. He was so happy to have found such a good pack. He wanted to stay there forever. He probably would.
 
They had flowers! Lots of flowers! “And butterflies!? I love butterflies too! That’s so cool. I love this place already. I want to stay here forever. Is that okay?” Milton saw the dog and he looked at him. Milton’s hot hot pink orbs blinked and he smiled at the dog. He was happy to see that they had dogs here. It was neat to have a dog. “I like dogs. What’s that one’s name? Is he your pet?”

Milton felt like the Governor was trying to get rid of him but that was okay because the Governor was probably trying to go play with his really cool dog. Milton didn’t want to get in the way of that quality bonding time so he just gave his new master a really happy smile on his wolf face and he wagged his tassel so hard that it made his bum shake and he laughed. “OK! I’ll go make new friends. I’ll see you later so you can teach me how to swim.” Because Milton needed to learn how to swim. How had he made it this far into his life without learning how to swim? It was really sad that he didn’t know how to swim and he really wanted to swim so he left his Governor and left to go make new friends.
