A Rowdy Friend

The ocean crashed against the soft sandy beach, salty white waves reaching as far as they can inland- though only to be dragged back into the vast body of water they were forever a part of. Along the beach, protected by the slope of the sand, sat a large Scarfox. They had long- orange wavy hair, which waved in the air as if they were underwater. Their hands were positioned on either side- sometimes lifting up and grabbing a nearby rock. Lifting their hand up- they threw their hand back and chucked the rock towards the ocean. Lagoona watched as it skittered along the soft water for a few seconds before disappearing into the depths.

They hummed, leaning back and falling against the sand- which parted for their surprisingly lighter body. Closing their eyes- they let the gentle sounds of the ocean fill all their senses, seagulls yelping and waves crashing together- the sound of sand parting sounding. Wait.. Sound of- Lagoona's eyes shot open but it was too late. A cute but quite rowdy creature jumped ontop of Lagoona- heavy paws skittering against the puppet's fur and wandering up towards their head. 

 

"What the?!-" They yelped, squirming as they lifted their head to see the creature- though they were only met with a large, wet tongue swiping against their face quickly and constantly. 

 

They spat and squirmed, waving her arms around until they finally grabbed the creature and pushed it away from their face- and further down her chest. Finally able to see, but feeling much grosser then before, their opened, finally able to stare at the beast that was assaulting them with kisses.

Their eyes softened as she stared a the 'beast'. It was a Sharkawoodle- a quite cute creature but with no off switch. Lagoona was lucky it wanted to give kisses instead of big bites to the nose. They sighed, fortunately knowing that Sharkawoodle's don't hide into the fur and fabric of Scarfox's.

 

"You're a dangerous little thing." They commented with a small smile, lifting a hand to gently pet the little land shark. It responded happily, leaning its body into their hands and wagging its fin like tail. 

 

Lagoona stared, thinking deeply, before sighing. They adjusted themselves- now sitting upright- and gently lifted up the sharkawoodle, standing up to their feet. 

Looking down at the shark, they smiled. "You must be hungry." They concluded "I have food at home for you, if you want." Lagoona added. The shark wagged its tail and rolled around in Lagoona's massive hands. With a small smile, they turned and quietly left the beach with their new friend.

 

A rowdy friend.
