Aurora awoke from her deep sleep, the sounds of birds in the high treetops greeting the sun. She lifted her head from the soft moss on the ground to a large yawn, and looked beside her to see her sister sleeping peacefully. The soft bubbling of a nearby creek, encouraged Aurora to get up from her warmed bed of moss and leaves to have her morning drink.
As the leopon walked to the brook, a small family of pheasants dashed in front of her. First the mother and then the offspring, scuttling towards a nearby thicket. Aurora let out a deep sigh as she continued her dazed trek to the water source. 'Why don't I have cubs yet?' she asked herself over and over again, without an answer to be given.
She reached the banks and lowered her head, accepting the small droplets fo water on her nose, as she lapped the cool waters. She licked her chops free of spring water as she looked down at her reflection and began questioning herself again. Why don't I have a mate? Why am I a hybrid? Why can't I talk to males?' Her head was hurting with so many questions. Aurora envied her sister, who didn't worry about any of this stuff.
"IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?!?!" she shouted at the sky, making a flock of birds take flight at her outburst.

Jabari extended his razor-sharp claws from their sheaths as he gradually arched his back further and further in a stretch. It was early in the morning, dawn had just come, when the male had arisen from his sleep. Fluffy leopard tail raising and lion jaws smacking, he got up to his feet and turned his powder-blue eyes skyward. I'm a bit peckish he noted mentally, shaking his fur and starting to walk along the undergrowth.
Growling a bit, "Bongo" brought his forefeet to the bark of a large umbrella-shaped tree, griping onto it tightly with his cleates of claws and bringing his back legs up. He continued this until he reached a low, shaded branch that would support his weight.
Settling down for the moment, the male surveyed the area, viewing the few finger of pink and blue in the sky double, then triple. Looking down, he noticed a cream-colored figure nearly below him, drinking water and female by the smell of it. Laying his head on his paws, Jabari examined her further. She looks sad he noted and pulled back his ears as she let out a shout.
"Definitely..."

She looked around after her scream to make sure that her sister had come to her aid. Aurora loved her to bits, but she always felt like the little sister around Aurelia. The Leopon closed her amber eyes to the forest sounds and pictured her own family. She opened them suddenly at the sound of claws scraping on bark, and looked around quickly only to find no one there.
Aurora relaxed a little and stretched out her front legs, tail flicking over her head as she did. Afterwards a yawn escaped her jaws as she smelled the air, trying to find a quick meal.
She watched a nearby bush carefullyas a small rodent moved his head from underneath it, desperately wanting to reach the waters which Aurora was guarding. She lowered herself, keeping completely still, watching the rat slowly expose himself to the world outside his bush. Aurora pounced and scooped the rat in her mouth, making sure it was dead before finding a tree to consume it in.

Jabari continued to watch the female, deeply intriged, with his powder-blue eyes following all her actions. She was pretty and he had been looking for a mate, but he wouldn't base any decision on looks alone. The pawfingers under his chin drummed back and forth as he continued to watch her, eyes never leaving the feminine form. She is rather pretty, and a leopon (?) by the smell of it... The female probably couldn't smell him from his downwind position.
Double-colored tail tip flicking upwards from its position on the base of the branch, the male noticed her climb another tree nearly adjacent to the one he was in. "Bongo" rolled his shoulders, smoothing the muscles there, and smacked his jaws once more. It would not hurt to be talkative.
Standing on his four feet and spreading them so he had better balance, he raised his tail high, tip curling, and nodded to her softly. "Hello" his voice was nearly a mutter, but it clearly carried to where she was situated.

Once aurora was comfortable on a branch, high up from the ground, she started to eat away at her snack. It was only small, and was pretty much gone in a minute. She was ready to take a nap in her tree when she heard a voice, 'Hello.'. Aurora looked up quickly to see a male in a tree just across from hers, so she smiled to acknowledge his greeting and opened her mouth to say something back, only to realize nothing was coming out.
Her amber eyes glistened in the stream of light from the treetops, and aurora closed her mouth again. She had so many things to say but her body had frozen as it did with every other male she met. She glanced at him quickly and realized that he was quite handsome, which made her want to say more. All she did in response was flick her silver tipped tail and smile warmly.
