Whatever it was that Alder was looking for, it had kept him distracted enough from noticing the approach of his mottled brother as he crept up as a silently as a rolly pully pup with over sized paws could manage. At last! He was close enough that he felt he could reach his brother with just one might bound. Already low to ground, he tucked his haunches under himself, ready to propel his self forward and into the unsuspecting, but much larger pup. Rump wiggling as he awaited the perfect moment!
Just as Cypress was about to make his move to land a perfect pounce on his largest sibling something feel from the sky, landing between them with a frightful yell. In an attempt to jump back, Cypress found his front feet working far faster than his rear, which were tucked tightly under him. So, instead he went tumbling backwards, somersaulting in the truck of a tree. A sharp yelp, from the pure surprise of it all.
He had been a bit startled, but began to giggle as soon as he saw it was none other than "Oak!" On his feet in a flash, it was but a couple playful, bouncy bounds before he landed on top of his reddish brother. "Where you come from?" His brother had played a good trick indeed! Cypress looked up, trying to find where his brother had appeared from, all the while laying atop his sibling. "Up dar? How you get dar?" His tail drumming away behind him.
