Cottonball and Friend

[littleone_nia_wolf]

Cottonball was racing herself around the playground. She was focusing so hard on the ground ahead of her, she missed the protruding branch in front of her. She tripped and face-planted the ground, skidding to a stop in the dirt. She heard a bark, sat up and shook herself, and turned to her mother.
"Cotton, be careful!" Her mother growled in warning. To Cottonball, her mother seemed exasperated most of the time.
She stuck her tongue out at her before commenting, "I'm fine, Mom!" Then, she stood up again and began racing around the playground, singing a song she'd memorized from Lady and the Tramp 2 as she panted and hopped up the stairs, slid down the slide, made a flying leap toward the swings (landing gracefully), and swinging with the swing til she was high enough to soar off of it and land on the merry-go-round, tumbling into another puppy and breaking up her song. "Oh! Sorry!" She apologized submissively, lowering her ears like her mother had taught her.

Maximus had been wandering around the park for a bit running and jumping as his small tail wagged. It was such a nice day he just couldn't sit still, though he didn't know many pups around the fact didn't hinder him in the least. He ran past various groups of young ones playing together now and then stopping to greet them. A simple "hey hows it going" before he darted off to find someone that might be able to hold his attention for a longer period of time.
His father sat on the hill watching and chuckling softly to himself "Pups" he says lightly as his tail flicked through the cool grass. Maximus was having so much fun as he jumped onto a merry-go-round he didn't see the other pup flying towards him. Upon impact they both rolled off the play equipment and onto the ground, flailing playfully the pup was careful not to hurt the one that'd run him over. "I'm hit, medic" he says before rolling onto his back and looking up at Cottonball, "oh hey, he says and pulled himself to his feet shaking his fur and looked to her. "It's ok, I wasn't really paying attention" he says as his ears perked up some showing he wasn't hurt.

Cottonball raised her ears and grinned hearing that he was okay. She growled at him playfully, crouching back and making ready to pounce. "My name's Cottonball, but you can call me Cotton if you like. What's yours?"

[Damned_Fool]

"I'm Maximus" the pup says and crouches his front half down sticking his rump up in the air as his tail wagged getting ready for her pounce. "But most just call me Max" he says and chuckles a bit as he keeps his eyes trained on her.

[littleone_nia_wolf]

"Max," she tested the word out in her mouth. Seeing him crouch down too made her prick her ears and grin. She stood up straight. If anyone was going to pretend to pounce her after they saw her do it, clearly, they were fun to play with! She wagged her tail and thought back to Lady and the Tramp 2. "Cool!" So what do you wanna play?" She didn't have to ask if he wanted to play with her. He seemed like he did.

[Damned_Fool]

"Cotton" he says committing her name to memory. He pounced just clearing her as he landed on the other side and gave her a nod his small tail wagging about "yeah I'd love to play." Though the answer seemed so obvious already he figured he'd answer her anyways, looking about he flicked his ear before jumping back on the merry-go-round feeling it start to spin before he even got his balance on it. Looking down at the piece of equipment he glanced to her and chuckled "Jump on" he calls out as he got into a sprinting position.

Cotton gasped and ducked just in time to watch Max go soaring over her head. She tucked her tail and turned around to look at him, but he was wagging his tail and smiling at her. She tilted her head curiously and thought to herself, "His tail is so tiny. I wonder if he's a real dog." She giggled and woofed at him. She watched as he hopped back on the merry-go-round and nearly lost his balance, and she chuckled then hopped back on like he'd commanded. She glanced at him, got in the same position he was in-- her tail high in the air and wagging happily-- then glanced at him again and asked, "Okay??" She wasn't quite sure what they were doing like this, but she'd done everything he'd done.

[Damned_Fool]

Once Maximus had regained his balance he flicked his ear, though his tail was rather stubby he seemed to keep it wagging and held high. He tilted his head hearing the bit of confusion in her voice as he chuckled softly to himself, once she'd gotten onto the merry-go-round he began running around the inside track making circles. After a moment the piece of equipment began to move slowly at first but the male kept running making it build up speed. Once it was spinning at a decent speed he sat down panting lightly and rested his back against the middle bar watching the world around them spin by.

Cottonball flicked her ears and stood up as she watched him curiously. She wasn't going to try to run with him. She suddenly lost her balance as she noticed the merry-go-round start to spin, but only for a second. She righted herself and stood up. Making sure to stay out of his way, she sat down close to the middle bar and enjoyed the ride, smiling when Max stopped and came panting up to her side. She wagged her tail as they both panted and let their tongues hang out of their maws.
"I'm getting dizzy!" She giggled and declared. All the colors in front of her looked like a blur.

[Damned_Fool]

Maximus chuckled a bit sitting next to her watching as the world around them spun, his head swayed a bit as he chuckled hearing her admission "I'm dizzy too" he calls out and chuckles enjoying himself. His tongue stretched from his muzzle as he laughed more and looked to her. As the merry-go-round slowed down he didn't try to get up knowing full well he'd lose his balance and wind up in the dirt. Once the toy had come to a complete stop he got up and staggered towards the edge still quite dizzy from all the spinning as he looked back to her missing the last step and landing on the ground. "I'm ok" he says without getting up from where he'd landed.
