            Buddi turned as the door flew open and Sunni ran in, her eyes angry.

            "Sunni, what's wrong? You look like Ursa when I just back talked."

            The girl had to smile at that and said,

            "Cubbi. He's such a child. I'm turning thirteen tonight and all he does is follow me around, asking me to play with him. I'm sick of it."

            Buddi smiled; he knew the feeling. Even since the loss of the Glen, the three cubs had stuck together, although he and Sunni more than all three of them.   Buddi had been subjected to 'annoyance factors' as much as Sunni. Cubbi was nice but the age difference made their likes so different while he and Sunni were so close in age (Buddi was only four months older) that they got along great.

            Cubbi normally would have found some mischief to get into but since he didn't know the territory around Ursalia as well as he had the forest, the Glens didn't want him or Sunni out alone. Buddi usually loved that his best friend could now live in the same city as he did but at times like this, he wished differently. He was usually the drafted guide.

            The door was banged on. Sunni called,

            "GO AWAY!"

            "Make me!"

            Buddi sighed, "Cubbi...not again."

            "It's not my fault the adults are paranoid."

            "Do you gotta make us suffer with you?" Buddi retorted. He usually stayed out of these battles if he could, but he didn't want to go out now. He wanted to play and talk with Sunni, alone.

            "Come ON!"

            Sunni snapped, "No! Get lost!"

            "GET OUT HERE AND MAKE ME!"

            Sunni slammed the door open and she and Cubbi stared one another down, not unlike two armies.
