Author's Note
This story is 100% fictional and the characters are completely made up. It has some death(of phantoms and animals) but isn't gory. Please do not edit any parts unless it is grammar or punctuation. Also all the characters and places are from the mobile Animal Jam Play Wild all and not the computer version.

Chapter 1: Breakfast
Cypress awoke to the smell of eggs cooking and her older brother Alder "practicing" on his tuba. She heard the clank of metal on tile as Alder set his tuba down.

"Seriously Alder? You've done that every day since the week after mom died," Cypress was him cringe at the mention of their mother and quickly changed the subject.

" So eggs, what's the special occasion? "

"Nothing big Kal's coming over for breakfast, then we're going places afterward," he told her flipping the the over in the pan.

" Ugh, him or course, " Cypress said sarcastically.

"Hey I thought you liked me!" Came a new voice. Kal  was closing the back door and Cypress was blushing from embarrassment. He wasn't supposed to here that. Map was a black arctic wolf with a dark gray undercoat. He had a white lightning bolt pattern and always wore obsidian wings and a black wrist. Unlike Kal, Alder and Cypress were deer. Cypress was light brown with a dream colored undercoat. She had a brown solitude pattern that made it look like she was covered in mud. She wore a purple dragonfly hair clip and Atlantis gauntlets. Alder was grayish cream colored and had a dark brown undercoat he always wore a green and blue baseball cap. (Going to add images here)

Kal, Alder, and Cypress made small talk as Alder finished the bacon he had recently put on the stove. When Cypress first met Kal she found it ironic that her brother, a deer mind you, was best friends was best friends with an arctic wolf. At a point Cypress warmed up to him, mainly because he came over everyday, literally, even when Alder wasn't home. Kal basically lived in their den except for at night, usually.

" So where are you to knuckleheads going today? " Cypress asked All and Alder. She was half-hoping she could go with them even though 99% of the time she couodn't.

"Well Dragonfly," Cypress cringed at the nickname Kal had bestowed upon her, " first were going to a party, then a pizza place for lunch. You can come to pizza with us if you want, "

Cypress' eyes widened. She was allowed to go somewhere with them. This never happened because a) she was "too young". She was 16 for heaven's sake! b) Alder hung out with All on breaks and when he wasn't tired from his college classes. And c) Cypress had to work after school every day. It was summer break and Alder and Kal would be hanging out the entire time.

"You want me to go somewhere with you two?" Cypress asked bewildered. It must've been a joke and Alder was about to yell,

" Ha nope! Get pranked! " but what he said surprised Cypress.

"Sure little sis you can come to the pizza place with us just not the party okay?"

" Yessss!" She jumped up her hooves clanking on the floor as she landed. She blushed embarrassed realizing she did that in front of Alder and Kal.I

"I mean uh... cool yeah I'll check my calendar, " Cypress said and walked up the stairs to her room, almost tripping over Alder's tuba.

Cypress waited and waited... and waited and waited and waited. When you had no friends and only two contacts on your phone life got reeeally boring. Cypress trudged down the stairs the tick tock of the clock following her down. She stared at the clock on the oven,

12:36

​​​​Alder and Kal would text her in 9 minutes where the pizza place was. ''Why just time he so slow!? ''she thought to herself
