Chapter 29: Meteor Festival Part 5: The Wolf and The Hound!

It was now mid-way through the festival and the fair grounds were filled with visiting animals. It was clear that the Drama club's efforts shined as the number of guests continued to grow.

This made things somewhat difficult for Legosi and his friends. They couldn't decide on what to do next. Some of them wanted to play quiz and knowledge type games, while others wanted to play games that tested physical skills.

"Ugh, we're never going to agree on anything," Kai snarled.

"Well sorry that some of us don't like guns," Legosi stated.

"What's the big deal anyway?" Bill asked. "Jack and Kibi, we're playing with them earlier."

"That's different and you know it Bill," Jack barked.

"Yea!" Kibi said as he joined the argument. "Those were just water guns. The shooting gallery has actual guns."

"They're just BBs, they aren't real," Kai said as he facepalmed.

"They look real enough," Kibi argued.

"So then what do you suggest?" the mongoose asked.

"Let's play trivia," Jack said cheerfully, his tail swaying back and forth.

"NO WAY!" Bill, Durham, and Miguno yelled in unison.

"You only want to play that game because you know you'll win," Miguno accused.

"Yea! You already kick our butts when it comes to grades," Durham said in an annoyed tone. "So obviously you'll cream us at quizzes."

"They're right! Everyone knows you're the biggest egghead in school," Bill argued. "The last thing we need is a game to remind us of that!"

"Oh, but we need a game to remind us how big of a muscle head you are?" Kai asked in an aggressive tone as his tail flared up. "Why else would you want us to play the bell ringing game?"

"Because it's a classic!" the tiger exclaimed. "Everyone plays it, even little kids. Sorry if I want to be inclusive."

"I actually wouldn't mind that one," Collot said softly.

"ENOUGH!" Legosi shouted. "Look, this is getting us nowhere. I know that none of us wants to spend the night arguing, we all just want to have a good time. So why don't we all take a minute and think, ok?"

Voss, who was riding on the wolf's shoulder, tapped his friend's cheek.

"Hmm, is something wrong?" Legosi asked.

Voss made a series of hand gestures explaining that since they couldn't agree on anything, they should split up and play the games they wanted to play and meet up after.

"Hey, that's a good idea," Legosi barked, his tail wagging happily.

"Um, what's going on there?" Kibi asked.

"Oh! Sorry I guess we didn't tell you," Miguno responded. "The big guy there is mute, so he can only talk to us through sign language. Well that and tail language, but that's a given."

"MUTE?!?" Bill, Kai, and Kibi shouted in surprise.

"Yea, he is," Jack replied. "But don't let that fool you. He's got a lot of good advice and he's easy to talk to."

"Wow, I've never met an animal who was mute before," Kai said in disbelief.

"It took us by surprise too when we first met him," Jack said before turning to Legosi. "So Legosi, what did Voss say?"
