Mao Mao Drabbles and Prompts

by Floopaslopp

This is a collection of short drabbles I am doing on my Tumblr where peeps send me prompts! These drabbles can range from when Mao Mao was a teenager, till almost eighteen years post Quest of a Lifetime. I recommend reading my Tumblr before some of these drabbles. There are some characters that just... don't make sense unless you read up about them first. (Next Gen series)

2. I'll take you there (Teen Mao and Tanya)

The chapter title is the prompt :))

PLEASE READ THE FICS IN THIS SERIES BEFORE READING THIS! THANKS!

"I'll take you there."

Tanya blinked, surprised, and turned around to meet his determined gaze. The cat couldn't have been any older than she was, around seventeen, yet his eyes were filled with a fire she hadn't seen from a kid before; he suddenly looked a lot tougher than the small hormonal teenager she had written him off to be.

The cat, Mao Mao he had called himself, was seemingly growing unnerved by her silence; his eyes falling to the ground where one her leaves laid, "I mean, you said you wanted to go to Spadeville, right? You would have to cross Behe Moth forest to get there and that place is filled with looters. It's a hero's job to protect the weak, so I'd be happy to escort you!"

He met her gaze once again, this time a cocky grin was spread from cheek to cheek.

Tanya couldn't help but chuckle, "You'd really go out of your way to help a little girl like me?"

"Of course!" Mao Mao's eyes followed her as Tanya stepped closer, "I'll do anything to be a hero and live up to my family's legacy."

"Well then, I'm afraid I'd be wasting your time." She sighed dramatically; the confused expression was wiped from his face when she suddenly laid a paw gently on his cheek. "I am much more dangerous than I look, Hero. You'd only slow me down."
