The waves crash onto the golden shore, yellow foam rests onto the sand. Two dogs run through the dipping sun's rays, laughing and racing each other from one point to the next, with nothing to hold them back. The two then roll around, kicking the dirt up and nipping at each others ears. Then they rest, gazing into the red sky, and at the silhouettes of the gulls that fly over head, letting the cool salt water lap at their multicolored fur. Then the female's panting grows softer, and her head dips down in sorrow. Her sibling looks down at her in concern, confused with her sudden change of mood.
"What's the matter, Skeeter?" He inquires. She sighs and looks away, smiling faintly at good memories.
"Oh, I was just thinking when Daniel and his family and I would come here. They almost bought a beach house, you know." She said, looking up at him again.
"I under stand what you're feeling." He gave a crooked smile.
"Hey brother?" Said Skeeter, rising to her feet again. Her brother looked up at her expectantly. Then he closed his eyes and turned away, sand and water flinging at him from the whipping motion of Skeeter shaking her fur. "Race ya again!" Her brother rose quickly, laughing along with her.
"Jerk! No way you're going to win again!" He called out, flying after her again.
"Can you bet on that, Sabotage?" She laughed again and showed her speed.

Nameless walked along the shore, dancing at the waves, never quite letting them lick his feet, but always chasing them and snapping as they retreated. He spotted other dogs, and paused, nervousness building. They looked like they were having fun... and they were running! He loved to run. He really wanted to join in. But what if they didn't like him?
In the end, the site of movement was too much to resist, and he ran after the two. "Hey! You two racing? Mind if I join you?" Of course, being a greyhound, a race against him wouldn't exactly be fair, unless it was endurance... He couldn't run for very long at all.
He wondered how they would talk to each other. He had never really talked to another dog all that much before, and didn't even know dogs had names, though he'd known humans had them. He just assumed everyone else had no name like himself.

Eclipse walked along the shoreline. Her cute little perky ears stood up listening to the sounds of the waves and.........Dogs? She was a small cute eyed puppy but she was bossy. Most dogs just thought she was cute. Her brindle coat was wet from her earlier dive, and she wanted to rest from it. She nearly got dragged under by the current. Curiosity killed the cat. She chuckled and shrugged. She saw dogs in the distance. She now went faster into a trot and she barked her cute little girly bark. "Hey big fellas." She said as she came up to the dogs and sat down. She was fearless. She raised an eyebrow and said "Oh look TWINS!" She rolled her eyes and said "Wow, which one is more manly?" She sneered and trotted around the group of dogs.

The twins were racing, Sabotage gaining on his sister. Then suddenly, another dog was in their path. His tail was lowered and his ears were back, but he called out to them.
"Hey! You two racing! Mind if I join you?" The twins didn't stop, but hurdled up to him. Skeeter jumped over him as he ducked, and then twirled around, raised her tail and ears in excitement, and stared down at the new face. Then her brother halted around the stranger as well. They were on both sides of him, and while avoiding her brother, Skeeter said,
"Well I don't see why not! A third dog might be fun!" The word 'fun' was strained out as Skeeter hopped away from her brother who finally lunged from behind the stranger dog and at his sister. Then Skeeter skid to a halt, and her brother came tumbling into the back of her, causing the two to fall over into the sand, though they were quick to recover.
"Hey big fellas!" A little dog said, sitting in their racing way. Skeeter was just about to reply for her and her brother, but then the little dog raised a brow and retorted, "Oh look! Twins! Wow. Which one is more manly?" Said the little dog, who now circled around the three.
"Well, I suppose my brother is, since I'm a girl." Skeeter chuckled a little to keep the atmosphere friendly, not letting the insult get to her. Then she snapped at her brother's ear, successfully grasping it with her front teeth, but when she pulled, he didn't do much. He didn't seem at all amused and his gaze was locked onto the newest dog. Skeeter let him go and nudged him with her shoulder, telling him to let it go. He relaxed.

Eclipse said "Which one is fearless dumbo. THATS WHAT MANLY MEANS!" She said sneering then chuckling and sat in front of the dogs. She was so adorable but so fierce. Her ears perked forward and they flopped as she looked at all the dogs. Wow big dogs, she thought as her brindle coat shun in the light of the sun. Her ears going every which way to the sounds of the beach waters and the dogs. Her tail wagged because she liked interacting.
She said "So what pack, yall in?" She said looking at the dogs to guess what they were herself. She smiled remembering how her siblings kicked her out of the pack and they left her to die after they jumped her. They all teased her and one day later they went into war and 3 of them died. She only had 5. The other one died of illness which left her with the last one which was wherever in this world. Her heart hurt from that because all she wanted was a real mom.

At the insult, Sabotage tensed up again. He took a little step forward, but Skeeter glanced at him, then turned and smiled at the little dog, halfheartedly. Then the small dog sat down, and looked as if she drifted into her mind a little ways. Then she inquired as to which pack they all belonged to, then drifted away again. But her thoughts were cut short when Skeeter spoke up and answered the question.
"We aren't in any pack. I'm just with my brother, here, and this guy," Her nose points to the greyhound and then back, and she continues. "Wanted to join our run. It was quite fun." She pauses, and then adds, "Would you like to join us? I think i saw a stick a few paces back!" She wags her tail and attempts to sprint off in search of the wooden piece of drift wood.

Eclipse rolled her eyes "Please i'll beat you all." She said chuckling then sprinting away to where Skeeter said there was a stick. Eclipse was very fast because she had racing in her and she was slick and slim and wasn't strong. She wasn't as fast as Skeeter but she was almost there. "So what are all your names? I'm Eclipse but you can call me Echo she says as she puffed up her shes and tried to look bigger with the other dogs. She was 3 inches smaller then the smallest dog there. Her brindle coat was dirty from the sand and dirt of the days play and hunt.

Skeeter laughed and raced after her, while her brother padded a few inches forth, but stayed behind with the Greyhound for a moment. And to the little dog, Skeeter said,
"Great! A real challenge, then!" She let the little dog, who called herself Eclipse, have the stick first. Then Eclipse asked the names of the others while trotting back to them.
"Well, I'm Skeeter, and this is my brother Sabotage!" She jumped onto his back playfully, and he continued staring in a bit of a mood towards Eclipse. Then Skeeter walked over to the Greyhound.
"And this is--" She stopped and looked back at him. "Well, we haven't bee introduced yet." She turned and puffed out her chest to the Greyhound, then repeated,
"Hi! I'm Skeeter, and that's my brother, Sabotage!" She pointed her nose towards her twin, then she looked at the hound and tilted her head. "What about you?"

He was glad to join in the racing, and gave a happy yip, but it wasn't long before it all stopped. A new dog? He turned his head curiously. Manly meant fearless? Weird. "That sounds rather offensive to females and males alike, but that's just me." A guy who felt fear wasn't manly, and if you had a group of fearless girls they'd be manly... Yup, that was pretty offensive. Well, not to him. He didn't really care if he was manly or not. But he bet most dogs would be offended.
The greyhound was feeling pretty confused. Packs? Oh, they meant groups, didn't they... "I'm with... South. I live in the South, at least, and there are dogs there, so..."
He didn't really know how to answer the... what were all those weird things? Scooter? Sabotage? "No, I don't like to sabotage or scoot. Also, you don't sound like an echo or look like an eclipse. I'm not sure why you all would say such strange things." he told them, misinterpreting.

"Oh yea big boy." She said turning around and dropping the stick. She was fearless. "OK little girl, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I;m just joking around. Why don't you man up." She said staring him straight in the eye. She was smaller but at least she wasn't offended. She rolled her eyes at the other dog. "I was just going to play around. Don't ruin it, buster." She said narrowing her eyes and turning back around. She was just a puppy, how was she supposed to know. The dog seemed rude or Paranoid about something about Echo. "Actually i'm named eclipse because it is a pretty name and it does match me. I'm nicknamed Echo because my personality is loud and i'm hard to forget. It booms off your head." She said grinning and feeling smarter then the dog who just tried to call her off.
