Baby Blue

Baby blue mewled, trying to pounce on a leaf like she was the big lionesses do with prey. She crouched down wiggling her butt in the air. Her tail thrashed, and she crept forwards, eyes focused on the leaf. Baby blue's muscles flexed as she jumped towards the leaf. She was soaring through the air and felt her face crash against the ground. She saw the leaf flit away from her and sighed. She huffed and gathered herself back up, upset that she crashed so hard.

"Ha! You call that practice? An eyeless lion could do better!" Baby blue heard a cackle from another cub and turned to face the other cub. When she saw that it was Baby Red she shrank back.

Baby Red was known for her harsh snarky remarks, and her sassy retorts. She may not physically fight someone, but her words hurt. Baby blue glared at her, not prepared to actually come up with a comeback for Baby Red's words. Baby blue knew that she was stronger than Baby Red, so she decided to try out pouncing again.

Her target was no longer a leaf, but Baby Red. She followed her training and leapt forwards to grab onto Baby Red's back. She dug her small claws into Baby Red's back, and she felt Baby Red buck to get her off of her back.

"You call this fighting? All you're doing is grabbing my back!" She bared her fangs at the cub on her back and turned in a circle quickly, trying to get the cub off of her back. They became a ball of hissing and spitting and claws when Baby blue got thrown off.

They got the attention of their broodmother, a dwarf lioness. She pulled Baby blue out of the ball expertly and gave her a tongue lashing. Baby blue was hunched over with false shame, hoping to appease her broodmother. The two cubs had to sit and 'play nice' while they were being watched by their broodmother to make sure that no other fights broke out.

They begrudgingly played nice with each other, but Baby blue knew that Baby Red had it out for her now. They would definitely get into more spats before they became lionesses.
