            But Buddi was not about to waste his evening 'cub-sitting.' Gum's sake, there were over thirty adults in the place! Why was he getting stuck with this? And on Sunni's birthday too! He wanted to give her his present in private. He couldn't wait to see the look on her face. She was his best friend.

            "Come on, Sunni."

            The Glen girl stared at Buddi. Buddi had always been very responsible and obedient. But she couldn't blame him for wanting to leave. She liked Cubbi but she had spent almost all day with him yesterday. She wanted some time alone with Buddi.

            Cubbi leapt up. "I thought Tummi said that you two had to stick with me."

            "No," Sunni corrected. "He said we had to watch you. And since we're in charge you hafta stick with us."

            "Do not!"

            Buddi clasped his head in his hands. His Barbic temper was nearly at its breaking point. He knew if he lost it that it wouldn't be pretty and the adults would frown on it, especially Ursa. She had a bad temper herself but she was always on him about controlling his.

            "Well, we're leaving."

            Sunni felt guilty about earlier but now she remembered how pesty this cub could be. And she wanted to do something with Buddi, get her mind off the Glen. Cubbi, however, sensed an opportunity.

            "I'll tell!"

            Buddi froze a moment. Cubbi had never been a tattletale Gummi. But he knew that if Cubbi was angry with them(which was obvious) then he would tell. That would mean that Ursa would jump all over him. Although he was used to her lectures, he really didn't wanna be lectured in front of Sunni. Talk about embarrassing!

            But still…he stole a glance at Sunni and then at Cubbi. He swallowed and decided to take his chances.

            "If you're so clever and able, watch yourself."

            Sunni followed Buddi out the door.

            Cubbi, rejected, sat down on the bed and pouted. No one wanted him around anymore. But he wasn't fool enough to run away…

            Getting them busted would suit just fine.

            That in mind, the cub darted out the door and headed towards the sitting room, where Ursa, Gruffi and a few others had gathered.
