Apple and Blackberry Pie
#1
Tick, Tick. There it was again, like every morning. Tick, Tick.
There was never a peaceful moment, Pip groaned from restless sleep and squinted his eyes from the bright morning light. He raised his arm and rubbed his tired eyes.
With another groan he lifted his weight up and leaned back against the back of his bed. He glared up at the ticking clock, Seven o'clock, early again. He turned to the side and saw the little wolf staring happily at him.

He smiled, "Morning Jill," He chuckled, "I'm guessing you're staring at me for a reason."
The little pup giggled with excitement and did a little dance around the floor, before slamming down on the bed and knocking the breath out of Pip.
"Come on Pip!" She giggled, "You promised we could go and adventure is it was sunny!" Pip looked out of his half-closed window, and the gap of light shining through. He sighed and looked back at his eager sister, "Well it is sunny" He said, and shuffled out of bed, "Come on, but have some breakfast first."

It was nearly impossible to get food into the child, because of all the cold and wet weather, Pip hadn't let Jill go out and venture for a while. So this day was making her hysterical. Pip had to rush to put his clothes before Jill before Jill could pull his arm off. But sooner than later they made it out into the forest.

It wasn’t long before Jill stopped running around in her own little fantasy world to notice something new. "Berries!" She called out to Pip, "Are they edible ones right?" She asked once Pip had reached her. She was right; they were edible berries, blackberries to be exact. Pip looked around, a little to the right was an apple tree. There weren't many apples on the tree because of the cold weather, but enough to pick.
"We could make a pie!" Jill said, and Pip noticed that she had also noticed the apple tree.

He chuckled at the little pup, she was clever than he thought. He reached over and pick up Jill, "You've got quite the sweet tooth haven't you?" He said a tickled Jill's tummy until she giggled. After she surrendered, he put her down and told her to pick as many berries as she could, he also gave her a little leather pouch to put the berries in. "I'll go and get some apples, don't wonder off now, just stick to that berry patch." He slowly walked up to the tree and picked a good few apples.

He looked over at the little she-wolf as she clambered around the berry bush, happy and free. Pip treasured moments like this.
