Moonspear steal my sunshine

Even with the ground still being a bit slippery underfoot from a month of rain, Meerkat was still pretty quick, and a challenge for Bronco to catch up with. She managed to skitter further ahead of him, now that he'd closed the gap between the two of them, challenging him to match pace with her, which might not have been a challenge had he not also been doing his best to keep his shoulders hunched, and lash his tail behind him the way a stegosaurus might, to ward off a predator. He gnashed his teeth together, feeling a trail of spittle trickle down his chin in a fairly gooey gob. He was actually kind of proud of the fact that he could more or less drool on command. 

But another voice called out, causing him to freeze slightly, and stumble when he looked up to see a female swathed in simple but soft brown and beige come charging toward them- answering the series of guttural yowls he'd been uttering. He was silenced when Meerkat shouted out an introduction and realization hit him like a bag of bricks. This was Toad- this was his date.

He slammed on the brakes with such force that he skidded several feet, and ended up splattering mud all up the front of his legs and all over his underside. He arched his neck, ears flying back in shock as he realized what his sister was doing. This was a set-up. Suddenly put on the spot, he forgot all about the guise of Broncosaurus, and suddenly just became young, dumbstruck Bronco. "Uh," He sputtered, and cast his gaze to the ground, and in a very, teensy-tiny voice- "Hi."
