“Kenya what are you
doing here?” Timmy asked seeing the small cub standing in front of him.
“Mamma said I can
come and play with Cyanne for awhile.” She said as she walked to the front
entrance and handing Ursa a note from her mother.
“Alright Kenya,…”
“Kenni my other name
Kenni” Kenya told her,
“Alright Kenya you
can stay for a while. Let me show you around and fill you in on things.” Kenya
nodded and followed Ursa to the room that she would be using.
Then
headed to Cyanne’s room to play with her sister. Hearing the laughing, Buddi poked his head
into the room to see what was going on.
He quickly called Ursa and the others to see what was going on. They
group about fell over laughing watching the two playing on the floor, they were acting as if they had a mini battle going
on and were trying to be all four of the adults by themselves. After a few more moments Grubbi spoke,
“
Cyanne you need to rest
again so that you don’t make that fever come back.”
“Do I have to, I want to play with Kenya.”
“I can play with you
while you lay in your bed like we do at home, Cy.”
Cyanne nodded at that and grinned as her sister climbed in with her and laid down and they started telling stories to each other. Until they had both fallen asleep.
“Mamma, you sure you
want to train a fourth one, I’m sure that three of use his a
handful as it is.”
“I know what I’m
doing buddi, and I can do both four year olds
together, and you two older boys together.” Buddi nodded and headed out of the
room and back into his own to lay down himself. For a little while. Seeing Ursa walking into the room, he
smiled a little bit,
“Mamma, did you know
that Timmy sings in the shower?” Ursa gave Buddi an odd look. “Selena told me,
and I have proof.” He said holding up a tape recorder that had been given to
him. The Barbic woman had to laugh at the sound of the younger male cub’s high pitched singing. Ruffling Buddi’s hair she told him to
get some sleep.
Buddi just nodded as
he rolled over.
