Max hopped down by the fence again. She waited for the small sound of him scuffling or his soft sighs only her keen hearing could pick up. She made a friend and they liked to talk a lot. And she was happy too. He was really nice.
"Max?" She looked up when her name was called.
"Fang?"
"I was scared you weren't coming," he admitted. Oh, how she wished she could see him!
"I come all the time!" She quickly said picking a flower up.
"But I'm worried you'll just disappear one day," he called over.
She smiled affectionately. "I promise. I will not disappear one day without telling you."
"Really? You won't break it?" He asked hopefully.
"Yeah! I swear." Max nodded to her reflection in the stream. "So how is Total?"
Total was his dog. He loved him and even brought him to the fence once. She heard his cute barks and heard them play. He told her that if she ever went over, he'd show her all the tricks Total learned. Max looked forward to that and hoped the day would come soon.
"Total? He's fine. But I think you'd - "

"Where? Why?" He asked worriedly. "Is something wrong?"
"No, I have to do some tests now." Max sighed. "Bye, Fang."
"Oh," he sounded disappointed. "Bye, Max."
