Playing is Fun : Chapter 12
After Lily's crying turned into sniffles, Louis offered her and Robin to eat for awhile. So Lily and Robin ate their lunch in silence. After that there's a voice...
"Dad! I'm home!" a voice called out.
"I'm right here, Austri!" Louis said. Then there's a young arctic fox around Robin and Lily's age came in to the guest room.
"Oh, ehm, hi there" Austri said.
"Hi" Robin answered.
"Hi.." Lily answered half heartedly. Louis knows that the atmosphere around is getting tensed, so he said...
"This is my son, Austri Mcarctic. And son, this is Robin and Lily" Louis said, introducing each other pups. The pups just nodded at each other akwardly. So Louis said...
"Why don't you three go and play?Don't play too rough though, bye!" Louis said and then left the pups to play with each other. Since none of them want to start a conversation, Austri try it...
"ehmm, I'm 7 years old. How about you guys?" Austri asked.
"I'm 7 and she's 7 too" Robin answered for both him and Lily answers. Austri then asked...
"What's your parents job?" Austri asked. Lily flinched a little at that, but then said..
"Police. And so does Robin's father" Lily said, answering for both her and Robin's answers.
"My father is a doctor. So...how about your mother?" Austri asked carefully. Robin and Lily flinched a little at that question.
"My mother died a few months ago" Robin answered.
"I don't have a mom. I'm adopted..." Lily answered.
"Well... I don't have a mom too, just like you guys. She died after giving birth to me" Austri said, sadly. Robin and Lily then snapped their head a little at that statement.
"Well... Why don't we play some board games? I'll bet I win" Austri said, trying to cheer up the room's sad atmosphere. And it worked like a charm.
"You win? I think I'll be the one who win it" Robin said.
"You? You lose to me a few days ago when we played a board game!" Lily said, stating the facts.
"I let you win that time" Robin said, trying to make some excuses.
"Oh, really?" Lily asked sarcasticly in a playful maner.
"Fine. Let's settles this" Robin said.
"Hey, I'm playing too!" Austri said, while carrying the board game.
Then they all played the board game for hours. They chatted and talk with each other playfully. Louis was glad that the 3 pups have their spirits lift up. He also knows that his son needs some fox friends. So all's well that ends well, right?
Well, the answer is, maybe yes, maybe not...
A.N : I know it's kinda lame and not as good as the previous chapters, but I'm working on it. See you in the next chapter!
