Northstar Vale (MERC 101) Bussin!

Hey! YOU squeak!

Jack scrunched his face up into the nastiest pout he could manage when Leona nearly knocked him on his ass. She wanted to call him a pipsqueak! There was no way he was letting something like that slide. She must have been sleeping for the last few months because… news flash – Jack Snipe was the bomb diggity.

There was a red and tan girl who showed up, too. If Zulema hadn’t appeared, Jack might have attempted to scrap with his sister. Instead, he turned to the newcomer and bounced to his paws. The boy tried to make himself look as cool as possible before he croaked out a prepubescent, hey. Embarrassing.

Towhee started them swiftly, for the benefit of everyone involved. If she hadn’t gotten into it, Jack would have sent them on a twenty-minute tangent that probably would have exhausted the whole group. Instead, she presented them with a challenge that he couldn’t refuse.

All thoughts vanished from his mind. Jack lunged for her with snapping teeth, aiming nips at her feet as quickly as he could snap.
