What type of Cub, Picasso?

This time it wasn't a football match they where watching. It was rugby. Had the same effect on them though, several sets of glazed eyes fixed on the moving images on the magic box.

All apart from Fox. He was on a small seat by himself, his feet drawn up so he could use his knees as a surface for the sketchbook he was currently working on. Every now and then he would glance up at the different members of K-Unit, all of whom where present. When ever it looked as something interesting was going to happen (and the others started shouting at the screen), he also spared the TV a glance.

But most of the time he's eyes where fixed on the picture that was slowly coming together on the white paper, an evil little grin on his face. He kept going wrong, having to rub out sections repeatedly. This wasn't because he was a bad artist, but because he wanted to make sure he got it just right.

Finally he finished and surveyed the others, the evil smile even more obvious now.

How to go about this...? He toyed with what to say. Best to wait until the rugby match was over, then they would pay more attention to him. So for the last 15 minutes of the match, no one noticed the look on Fox's face.

As the match finished, Wolf leaned over and used the remote control to turn the T.V off, while complaining about the scores. The others followed suite, vocalizing their opinions on how well such and such had done and who should have really won.

Then, Finally Eagle noticed him. "What do you think about…hey, what's with that look on your face? What have you got there?"

Fox grin grew wider as he hugged the sketchbook to his chest. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Now Snake, Wolf and Alex turned round to see what was going on.

"You being drawing, or something?", Snake asked while Wolf muttered something about not even knowing he could draw.

Show time.

"Yup. I got bored with the rugby and a thought occurred to me, Alex's codename is 'Cub', right? But there's no such type of animal as 'cub', so what sort of animal cub is he?"

He looked round at the others. Alex shrugged while Eagle replied: "Panda? You know, for all the times he gets beaten up and ends up with a black eye. Or two!"

Fox laughed, still hiding the picture from them.

"Or maybe a lion cub, he's got blond hair. Aren't lions sort of blondy?" Eagle continued.

Fox didn't reply and instead continued with his earlier train of thought, "So while I was trying to work out what sort of animal he was, I saw all you lot shouting at the TV like bloody monkeys or something. Real animal like. So I decided to draw you all… with some animal features!"

Alex laughed and Wolf raised his eyebrows. "Animal features?"

"Yeah, look!" And he turned the large sketch book towards them.

On it was a picture of all of them (Fox included) sitting on a very large settee with Alex on the floor in front of them. Eagle was in the middle, his arms raised above his head, doing the peace sign with both hands. Behind him, two fluffy little chicken wings where visible. To the right of him sat Snake, his tongue sticking out at Eagle. A tongue which of cause was forked like a snakes. Behind his was a diamond patterned scaly snake tail. Fox was next to him, drawing the picture that they where all actually in. He had fox ears, a sly grin on his face and a thick fox's brush curling round to his side.

On the left, next to Eagle was Wolf, who was giving Eagle and his peace signs a serious high power glare, drawn as spiky lines coming from his narrowed eyes. He had wolf ears and a ragged wolf's tail.

And in front of him was Alex, drawn as a very young child. In front of Alex were children's alphabet blocks. Three of them, placed quite close together, spelt put 'Cub'

All eyes, after scanning the others, seemed to be drawn to the picture of Alex. Because he had wolf ears and a cute, fluffy wolf tail.

"He's a Wolf cub!" Snake shrieked in a high pitched voice that surprised everyone, including him. Before anyone could say anything more though, Eagle grabbed the picture out of Fox's hand quickly. The reason he had done this was because he didn't want it to get damaged while Wolf and Alex worked together to soundly beat Fox up. He wasn't so bothered about fox getting damaged, just the picture, so he and Snake walked a little way away from World War Three to admire it some more. "I never knew Fox was so good at cartoons." Snake commented. "Neither did I!" Eagle exclaimed back, over the bangs and crashes coming from behind them. "Its good isn't it, but why do I look so fat and goofy?" He asked. Snake thought about that for a second. "I guess the 'fat' could be muscles…but the reason you've got a goofy face is, well, cos you've got a goofy face!"

Eagle glared at Snake, but after all the glares Wolf had thrown at them in the time they had known him, it had little effect.

Giving up on that, he changed the subject, "Doesn't Alex make such a good ick'le baby?"

"Yes. Very cute." Snake replied dryly, smiling. "And I think Fox has got it just right. Alex is a Wolf cub!"

Eagle smirked. "Let's go put this somewhere safe, then go watch the father, son bonding going on over there." He said, pointing a thumb back over his shoulder in the general direction of all the commotion.

Snake nodded, saying as they left the room, "We are so going to have to get this framed!"

I actually planned this out before I added in the, "what type of cub am I?" Bit in the first chapter.

So when I saw Blue glass Rose say that he was obviously a wolf cub, it made me smile. ^-^
