The Snack Den

[Firox]

*Sherrie moves a bit so ? is in the middle of all cozy spot*
*I'm sitting on the other side, muzzle full of the tasty gravy, ? can tell I'm the messiest of all the eaters*
*Arval and Aycan join in, they get on the hammock, above ?*


*sherrie offers ? either more biscuits, or butter, or gravy, or even the dessert triple berry pie*






*sorry, almost forgot - Firox also shared a berry pie with ♥ and an apple pie with !, so they can enjoy dessert - before heading back to den*

[?]

*happily takes a bit more pie for now*

[Firox]

*Aycan leaps down and whispers to ?'s ears "resting this day or....mmmfffmmmm"*


*Sherrie playfully wraps her muzzle with her ribbons, hoping that ? doesn't get the idea*   
"enjoy meal"


*lets the 'Bree goes, she giggles and leaps back up on hammock*

[?]

just resting today *stretches a bit more*

[Firox]

*Sherrie smiles* 
*wraps a warm blanket around ?, bringing more berry pie and warm hot chocolate to drink with straw, adding extra whip cream on top, a vanilla wafer, and cherry on top*


*as one movie ends - Jyo with psychic passes ? remote to push buttons, picking next movie or TV show*


*Flower checks on the younger ones, other side of the den, making sure their next movie is playing, and sharing more meal or dessert, and the same hot chocolate too - she lays down with them*

[?]

*yawns n relaxes for a little*

[Firox]

*first thing ? hears is....*
*sound of someone drinking from a cup... when drink goes up the straw - its Jyo and Elise drinking hot chocolate*


*then hears something a bit crunchy - yep, its me, nomming tacos while hearing Leafyz, and Flareyz read a slightly scary book to the six younger ones*

[?]

*happily goes over n noms some taco to, just relaxing*

[Firox]

*I didn't know ? was there, so after I take a sip of my own hot chocolate - I reach down to grab another taco... my paw enters the mane fur*
 
"hey, these tacos feel furry"
*I giggle* 


*I look down* "hai ?, you scared me" 

[?]

*giggles and nods* hiya there, * finishes the taco* 

[Firox]

*Leon would ask the younger ones, but all are with the Leafyz and Flareyz hearing the story being read*


*so instead Leon asks the ? and myself*
"hello you two, which Italian meal would you like next time?"




*as I unwrap another two crunchy tacos, I whisper to ?*
"how about one of your favorites, spaghetti and meatballs, or one of my favorites spinach and sausage alfredo ravioli - Leonardo letting you pick"


*I add sour cream to one taco, and pass it to ?, I add hot sauce to the other and nom it myself*
*? can giggle, the bottle says 'mild salsa' not 'spicy'*

[?]

*nods* spaghetti sounds good *happily noms next taco*

[Firox]

*Leonardo smiles, tells me*
"we can make a little of both, most 'grown ups' like the ravioli extra toppings, most younger ones like spaghetti"
*Vay comes over* "we will use the grinder to make meatballs and sausage"




   *Joseph about to get in trouble with all* 
*as Linette reads her next line, part of it says "as the frightened little fox, gets near the window, a sudden loud thunder is heard outside"*


*from ?'s resting area, can easily hear the sound of the eight smaller Vees suddenly 'eep'/scream kind of loud, suddenly scurry under Firox, Flower, Linette or Zoran*

*even Linette reading, fur along her entire back and tail stands up, drops the book - looking all puffed up*

*I drop the taco on floor, as it crumbles and makes a mess - I didn't even get to give it a bite, yep, fur along entire back/tail puffed up too*


*Elise dropped the hot chocolate she had, hid under Jyo, who playfully hisses towards Joseph's direction, both hid under a blanket*

*Aycan surprised, tries to hide under Arval, making him fall from the hammock, land on the surprised Sherrie below*


*what happened?*      
*Joseph had used Thunder, close to everyone*




*should give ? a reason to 'target' Joseph first on next battle day*
*as we can hear Robyn say in that 'scalding like' voice* "Joseph!! you scared everyone"
*he is rolling around laughing loud, even falling from the window ledge*


*when Linette read that line, it let out a super loud 'Thunder' into the middle of den, well above all, loud enough to frighten everyone*

[?]

eep hey! *throws a bit of taco at their nose for it then stretches again, finishing another*

[Firox]

*Joseph looks over, seeing all, not exactly super mad, a bit of a hard to explain 'disappointed-style' mad


*after about 5 minutes of hiding, the eight come out of hiding, follow ?'s example, throw him cake dough balls, similar to snow ball style*


*Jyo uses psychic so Joseph can't escape*
*Arval goes over to Elise still hiding under Jyo and blanket, give her another hot chocolate* "its normal for Joseph, he is a prankster, and competitive, so will do all to scare us given the right time'


*Zoran doing it's best to smooth down the fur on Linette, she was the closest to the loud thunder*


*I start to brush down the puffed up fur behind the ?'s mane, and back - before getting another taco, my own fur slowly going down*
"feeling better ?"


*the only two that escape the loud thunder where Vay and Leonardo, since at the time they where outside in the greenhouse looking at the herb and veggies for the meal*




*ohh... and yes... Joseph does apologize, then starts laughing again - both from the earlier 'scare prank' and the cookie dough is sticky and tickles*
