Adopt me please...

This is the story of me, Dashing Swiftclaw. I had a normal animal life, until...

I was lying on my cosy bed. My human was a good den decorater, and i had a nice bedroom in a result. I rolled by eyes as another cheetah from downstairs called out. "Dashing, honey, your breakfast is getting cold!" It yelled. That was my human's buddy, and my mate, Spirit Swiftclaw. I slumped downstairs, still tired. "Good morning, Spirit honey." I yawned. She was cooking some steak. "Morning! look, sweety, i want to talk..." She said. "I want to adopt a child. Put a bit more light in our life!" I nearly choked on my steak. "But honey.." i protested, then gave up. Once Spirit had made up her mind, there was no stopping her. I waited for my human to log on, then sent my virtual thoughts to him. That was a weird thing us animals could to to tie the humans around our paws. My human, whose name was Tim, by the way, made a new room for the child. Then he grabbed his buddy, Willow, who was Spirit's human, and they headed to the pillow room. Spirit raced off to look for a child. I saw a small blue cheetah in the corner. Though the humans couldn't see this, he had matted and knotted fur, and the only item he owned was a patched blanket. He lay in the coner, in hopes of getting adopted. I padded over, and he perked up. "Hello, what's your name?" I asked. "Speedy..." He mumbled shyly. I scooped him up and smiled. "Then Speedy, you are now Speedy Swiftclaw." I said. His eyes lit up and i raced over to Spirit, wanting to show her our new son. Only then did i notice she had a green cheetah in her paws. It was a small girl, younger than Speedy. "Meet Vine Swiftclaw!" She said. We both laughed and padded home, new children in our paws. My human created a nursery for Vine, before logging off. Then Speedy spoke up. "Now can i have a little brother?" "An i dun wanna be da wittlestest won" Vine added. Spirit and i sighed. We didn't know much about being strict parents, so we gave in to their innocent stares and cute smiles.As we padded through the dark streets of jamaa, i felt strange being out alone with Spirit. We entered the pillow room, which was strangely filled all with young cheetahs trying to get adopted. As we stepped into the middle of the pillow room, they all said one thing at once. 'Adopt me please...' They begged. We couldn't resist. We ended walking home with sixteen new children. Their names were...

1. Pioneer

2. Pretty

3. Sailor

4. Nice

5. Cute

6. Tall

7. Small (Twins)

8. Swag

9. Sleeping

10. Victory

11. Dove

12. Pink

13. Sad

14. Happy (Brothers)

15. Spotty

16. Phantom

These were my new children. I tucked them all into my bed, and fit most of the cubs in Vine's cot. Spirit and i slept on the floor. Then i jolted up with a thought. What would Tim thinkwhen he found all these jammers who said they were dopted by him! i gulped. He was usually on about an hour from now. I HAD TO GET THESE CHILDREN OUT OF HERE! I woke them all up, putting them in the car. I dropped them net to the pillow room. The all started whimpering and some, even crying. "You can't stay with me!" I yelled. Most of them turned around and went inside the pillow room as it started to rain. Everyone apart from Vine and Speedy. 'What about us, dad?" Speedy asked. "You too. And don't call me dad anymore." I snarled at them. Speedy's gaze darkened. "You adopted us, only to give us the pain of being abandoned again!" He snarled back. Then he scooped up Vine and said: "Come on, Vine, your getting wet fur" I drove back, no guilt. They deserved that. AS sleep washed over me, a dream found it's way into my mind. I was in a cave with Speedy. "You abandoned us." he said. "Why don't you feel guilty?" i peered into the darkness to see the black and white outlines of all my children, in the pillow room, looking mizerable and homeless. Then the faded. Speedy faded. My dream faded. All my memory of the children faded.
