"Its a sunny day on switch back cove, Yasmin Meerkat, junior champion, lines up ready to beat her friends into dust-" Yasmin said like a announcer.
"Yasmin, can you please stop talking to yourself so we can get on with it" Emma yelled at her.
It was a herd outing at the beach, They were doing a volleyball tournaments, Emma, Chase, Renee and Peaches vs Anna, Ethan, Yasmin and Rodney, they used a ball of leaves and as a net some tall sticks pointing out the sand
"Ready?" Chase said.
"GO!" Peaches shouted and threw the ball in the air and banged it with her trunk.
Rodney sent it flying back, Peaches picked up Emma and she slammed it over the sticks, Ethan hit it back, Renee jumped on Chase's back and did a back flip and punched it over.
Yasmin and Anna both jumped in a opposite directions and banged into each other.
The ball bounced over Ethan's shoulder.
"YES!" Emma and Peaches cheered and high-fived.
Emma ran over to Chase and hugged him, he was growing fast his head was now pasted her hip, but he was still 11.
He giggled sheepishly as Emma let go.
Manny, Ellie, Raz, Shira, Diego, Sid and Rilla sat at the back of the beach, watching the kids play.
"Why don't you join them, Rilla?" Shira said to the small cub in her father's paws.
"No thanks, mom, I'm fine here" Rilla said, and curled up and closed her eyes.
"BOOM!" The grown ups heard from Emma , balancing on her tail on her sister's back, she just dumped the ball over the sticks.
"Here, hold this" Diego said with sleeping Rilla in his mouth and put her on Ellie's back.
"Shira" He said and twitched his head.
Shira got up and followed him.
"Okay we need to find our baby some friends" Diego said.
"What?, Diego she had lots of friends like, um, like, Chase!, he's her friend" Shira said.
"I mean friends her age, if not she is going to be a loner!" Diego said.
"Diego!, Don't say that about your daughter" Shira said, in a bossy, wife tone.
"Okay, okay" Diego said "But Renee is the most poplar girl in the playground"
"Diego, there only 4 ½, I doubt they even know what Poplar means" Shira said
"And Rodney has Crash and Eddie" Diego said.
"Whoa, what happen to friends being their
age" Shira said
"Crash and Eddie are like 4 year olds" Diego said and Shira stuck out her bottom lip and nodded, she and Diego headed back.
Later that day Emma, Yasmin, Anna and Chase were having a walk.
Emma was swinging from the trees and they were walking behind her.
"So when you gonna do it?" Yasmin asked Chase, riding on Anna's back.
"What?" Chase asked, his turquoise eyes sparking.
"You know, ask Emma out" Anna said.
"Wha?" Chase said embarrassed.
"Ask...Emma...out" Yasmin said, jumping on his face, Chase shook her off.
"Um, no" Chase said.
"Oh, this is about you being wolf and she being human isn't it?" Anna said.
"No!" Chase thought for a moment "Yeah"
"Relax, It'll be fine" Yasmin said.
"Okay, I'm going in" Chase said and walked over to the human swinging about.
"Hey Emma!" He called up to her.
"Yo?" Emma asked and jumped down from the tree tops.
"Well, I was wondering, um, if you, um-" Chase was interrupted by a sound from a baby tree and Rodney fell out of it.
"Dude?, what are you doing?" Emma asked picking him up and dusting him off.
"I was looking for Uncle Crash and Eddie but I lost them and found you" Rodney said, He led over Emma's shoulder and waved at Chase.
The black furred wolf gave him the evil-eyes.
"Did I butt into something?" Rodney asked.
"No, Come on, we're going home how" Emma said and placed him on the floor.
Chase turned to see Emma's BFFs.
"You couldn't do it could you?" Anna asked.
"No" Chase said, disappointed.
They set off to walk home.
Rodney was wondering behind the group humming "We are", then he stopped, he heard a rustling noise.
Out of nowhere a human boy jumped out the bushes and grabbed him by the scruff.
Emma gasped and grabbed her dagger and pounced on the human boy, releasing his grip on Rodney.
The cub ran over to Anna and Yasmin, and he hid behind them.
Emma growled at the human, and pinned him down with her tail.
The boy took off his hood looked at her.
Emma stared, He had chestnut brown hair, all spiked up, and piercing green eyes.
She coughed and got off him.
He was wearing a elk jacket and trousers.
"Sorry" She said.
"It's alright" He said, he looked her age, slightly older, and was a bit taller than her.
"I'm Brody" He said, and stuck out his hand to let her shake it but she yelped and jumped back.
"Oh, Um, I'm Emma" She said and shook it, nervously.
"Who are your friends?" Brody asked.
"This is my best friends Yasmin, Anna and Chase" Chase frowned, she said friend.
"And my little cousin, Rodney"
"Your what?" Brody asked.
"Cousin" Rodney said.
Brody had his mouth hanging open.
"Did...did..that...just Talk?" He asked.
"Yeah" Emma said.
"Okay then" Brody said, awkwardly.
"Great, bye bye" Chase said.
"Why can't he come with us, to meet our herd" Yasmin said.
"Okay, Sure" Brody said, and walked off with Emma.
Chase looked at them, sadly.
"Oh, Sorry" Yasmin said and they walked after the humans.
Rodney followed then cluelessly, he was not looking forward to his teen years.
