Sly Fox Sand Dunes primera

S'ari watched Mercedes study the dune, wondering if she would be too afraid to throw herself down it again. --And then suddenly her friend was up on her paws, scrambling in the sand, challenging her to a race!

S'ari jumped a bit in surprise, and then laughed and chased after friend. Oh-ho! she cried, and dug her dainty little paws into the sand, climbing back up to the top of the sand dune. She was smaller and lighter than Mercedes, but that didn't guarantee a win. She and Mercedes seemed neck and neck, but S'ari stopped paying attention to her friend to focus on climbing. Despite her light weight, her paws were sinking in the sand. By the time she reached the top, she had no idea who had won, and didn't care.

Giving Mercedes a wink, and breathing heavily, she flung herself down the side of the dune again, tucking her chin and pulling her tail between her legs, flattening her ears.
