It was high noon, Wednesday’s were party time and party time meant fight training for Dalia! Saucy met at their normal meeting spot, in the sequoia forest under the tallest tree. Clearly it was the most badass, being the tallest and all, so obviously it was the most fit to host their spars.

Saucy was prompt for a change, the sun was directly above her and Dalia was yet to appear. It wasn’t that her friend was actually late, but it was usually Saucy who was that. So Saucy figured that she herself was in fact late, as usual, and Dalia was just super late; that jerk face.

Saucy waited under the y’allest tree, yes I was mistaken thank you.

finally Dalia appeared, her silver figure coming into view. Saucy’s tail began to thump as her best gal pal neared, and when sitting and thumping her tail wasn’t enough, she stood and bounded towards Dalia with her tongue lolling out. She head butted Dalia’s chest, a little easier than usual cause she could tell her friend wasn’t on x games mode yet, Dude I thought you stood me up for a hot minute, what’s wrong, she asked, hopping from foot to foot with energy, looking like street fighter.

The two girls bounced away as Dalia explained her woes. She felt like a loser or something hnngggg, Saucy had seen this all before. But she had more confidence in Dalia than she did her bro Sweet, who barely even tried! Time to put in the game cartridge for Peptalking Mama™ ok here we go, Yeah you’re not the best right now, but for sure I’m gonna turn you into Like Daliazilla. Dude, your gonna be so ripped all you gotta do is look at Ford and he’ll fall over, she said, her breaths becoming quicker as she warmed up.

The white furred girl ran a quick circle around Dalia, then jumped to a halt in front of her with a grin. Ok, ok, ok, are you ready?! she said enthusiastically, her eyes wide with that excited anticipation.

Saucy watched as Dalia stiffened into some sort of defense posture. She was a little too stiff, she really oughta loosen up a bit, Saucy thought. For someone smaller like Dalia, it was better to stay light on your toes, and try to dodge. Saucy could easily bulldoze Dalia if she chosen to stay still, but the warrior in training had no plans of informing Dalia of this. She prepared a charge, then ran at the speckled girl, hoping to simply knock her over. She wouldn’t go too hard, cause she definitely didn’t want to hurt Dalia. Her best friend was the only one to be granted this kind of pass, use it wisely girlfriend.

Saucy slowed a little when she got closer to Dalia, like I said she wasn't tryna beat her friend into the next dimension or anything. But even at a slower pace Dalia failed to get out of the way. Nay, she didn't fail, because she didn't try. She ducked, which did pretty much nothing to stop Saucy from hitting her and knocking her down. It did however make Saucy fall too, over Dalia's back and onto the powder covered ground behind her.

When she scrambled to her feet, shaking the snow out of her white fur, she glanced around to find Dalia collapsed in a manner that screamed, i give up. Saucy pursed her lips, trying to think of what to say as she trotted over to her friend. She nudged Dalia's paw with her nose, and said, so hey, are you ok? she said, stifling a snicker. hahaha.

the snickering lioness stood above her friend, backing up to let Dalia stand. The smaller female groaned, but as she stood she seemed a little more ready this time, maybe more focused. And hey, she wanted to go again. Sick, Saucy was worried for a sec that she’d ended it right then and there on accident.

She nodded to Dalia’s question, backing up and getting into a solid but tense and ready to move defensive position. You come at me this time, she said, her eyes glittering with a fiery excitement.
