Beyond the Picket Fence

by LonelyButLovely

A love story told in drabbles. Max and Fang never see each other but they become fast friends speaking to each other over the fence. But one thing is...Max isn't human.

2. Fang

"Watch out Fang! Don't drown!" His mother called out as they sat by the stream. It was a warm day. Nothing could compare to it.

"Yeah, okay." He said quietly sitting by it. He plucked a flower from the ground. It was a pretty violet color with black speckles and a furry stem. He tossed it in the stream and watched it float away under the other side of the fence. He was brushing off his shorts when there was a cry of surprise and then a splash. His gaze wandered to the white fence. "Who's there?"

A surprised gasp. Then, "Who're you?"

He stumbled back. There was someone on the other side.

"Well, I'm Maximum!" A girl. "But call me Max!'

Fang was shocked. He thought the fence was just there for being...there. "F-Fang."

There was a giggle. "Nice to meetcha!"

He smiled. "Me too."
