Duck Lake i am surely a queen

Pineapples were sweet. Leaf liked sweet. Blushing as she was congratulated for her rather unrealistic catch, she caught his surprise and began to nod her head emphatically in encouragement. Even her tail wagged in approval. Once more, she flushed with delight as her superpowers were confirmed. There was nothing like knowing you had these powers and were not mutated. It was like she had gained them free of charge! When the orange-eyed wolf announced that he was about to demonstrate his own powers, Leaf tilted her head to the side. Her tail was wagging a little more quickly now and even her tongue lolled about in anticipation. But all this came to a screeching halt when she realized what she was being asked. Swallowing hard, she concealed her distress with a smile that only touched the right side of her face. "Oh," she said. In an instant, her girl powers had kicked back in, and she realized he was a boy, and Leaf had heard once from a friend back in Relic Lore what boys and girls did together--and then her superpowers malfunctioned. She began to twitch, almost as if she had a tic, and her smile grew larger and larger until it plastered her face. Then, she stopped moving. Visible smoke seemed to rise from the little wolf's fried brain and formed a swirl. One of the over-passing ducks inhaled said smoke and began to cough violently. It later died that year of lung cancer.
