This is the second chapter. Hope you enjoy it. Please review. I intend to make it longer than the first one.

Chapter 2: morning.

The next morning, the three cubs woke up after a good night sleep. Ash and Kristofferson got out of their sleeping bags and together stood tall, and stretched their arms up towards the ceiling, stretching their bodies after being almost still for the night. Agnes did the same, though she only stretched her back. "Morning, Ash." Said Kristofferson (as he said every morning) after they've all stretched. "Morning, cousin". Ash replied, standing in front of him. And finally, "Morning, Agnes". Kristofferson said to the female standing to their right. "Morning, Kris." Agnes said, calling him by the name she liked to call him sometimes. Ash didn't mind, as nicknames was something that had nothing to do with him.

After that, they went to the main fox family area, lit by a small lightbulb handing from the ceiling. There was a small/simple wooden table with chairs to their right. A small yet usable kitchen on their left, which had most kitchen commodities, including a mini fridge and a little oven, and on the far side was Mrs Foxes thunderstorm paintings. On the bare metal grey floor was were three medium sized bags (each with one of the cub's name written on it) and a note which was hanging from the middle one. When the cubs went near the bags, they could clearly see what the note said: "GONE OUT FOR THE DAY. STUFF YOU NEED IS IN THESE BAGS. BREAKFAST IN THE MINI FRIGDE. ENJOY THE FOX." This meant they would have to fend for themselves for the day, which was because, judging by how well they've gotten along now meant the parents now trusted them to look after themselves, even for a day. And they trusted each of the cubs to look after one another, especially when Mr and Mrs Fox where not around.

The cubs then settled down for some breakfast, which was only plain but edible oatmeal. With the finite resources down in the sewers, they had to eat roughly the same thing every day, yet on Sundays they had turkey or chicken or duck from the farmers supermarket (where they also get all their other food). Used to the food system and the ways the food tasted now, they had no complains these days. After they finished and put their bowls in the dishwasher, they got dressed (they always wear the same clothes everyday) and one at a time brushed their teeth. They knew to wait an hour or so after eating their breakfast before they could go swimming, so they decided to pass the time by doing what they did every morning-meditating. Despite doing it every day, they always found meditating very relaxing. All tension in them, if there were any were simply swiped away and their minds were as calm as the sea on a clear day. Silence came over the fox living quarters, the only intelligible sound came from the cubs chanting to themselves.

After two hours of mind opening meditating, Ash opened his eyes and spoke up. "So, you guys want to do that swimming?" He asked, his voice causing the other two to look at him with their now open eyes. "I'm in, Ash." Kristofferson said, getting up onto his feet, as did Ash. "Count me in." Agnes said, she said as she got up after the other two. They went over to the bags and each of them picked up the one which had their name on it. They then left the fox quarters, turned off the light and went to the pool. The part of the sewer in which the animals lived in had been signposted to help navigate the maze of tunnels and chambers. The sign which said "POOL" had only recently been added. The fox friends them followed the sighs till they came to two doors, one saying "MALES" and the other saying "FEMALES". Understanding these were the changing rooms the foxes went to their rooms "See you in a few minutes, Agnes." Kristofferson said as he opened the door to the boys changing room. "You too." Agnes replied back as she entered the girls changing room. "let's have some fun." Ash said to all of them as he followed Kristofferson.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next one will be coming soon. I would appreciate any reviews you write.
