Havu was three now, and Harvest Festival was coming up again. Lena insisted she wanted to compete. Striker groaned about it but he wasn't gonna stop her. Ray had offered to babysit, rather make sure Havu didn't run off during the Festival.

The festivities started and Lena stood next to Striker, tails entwined.
Stolas was up on stage announcing everything, Lena and Striker noted that IMP was there too.
When the gun went off they took off. Lena scaled the wall with ease, Striker and Blitz just ahead of her and Moxxie behind. They went through the obstacles with ease, Lena right behind Striker.
Lena grinned some as she hogtied Striker and he blushed, arching his back some. "Ah.. alright pumpkin." She giggled.
Blitz had hogtied Moxxie and was looking over. "Damn..."
Stolas blinked some watching the events.
When it came to the tug of war it was her and Striker against Blitz and Moxxie.
"Just because yer married doesn't mean yer gonna win." Blitz stated. "Yeah!" Moxxie added.
Striker grinned and Lena flicked her tongue out. "We will beat you!" They said and started pulling as the bell went off. It was a real contest now, both sides tugging. Striker and Lena then yanked hard, tossing Moxxie in the pond and making Blitz trip in the mud. They grinned and posed.
Havu and Ray as well as Jackson were on the sidelines cheering on Striker and Lena.
Blitz was pitted against Striker in the mud wrestling ring, and it was still fairly even until Striker heard his daughter. "KICK HIS BUTT DADDY!" Striker grinned and pinned Blitz down. "My little girl gives me strength!" He grinned and Blitz nodded. "Damn..."
Lena easily pinned Moxxie in the other ring and giggled. Moxxie groaned some, "You just enjoy humiliating me don't you?" Lena wagged her tail. "Well I would happily be pitted against Millie, but they don't allow her in the games anymore." Moxxie lay there, head propped up on his hand.
Stolas looked over, "We have come to a three way tie... we have a new event just for this. Everyone grab a crossbow and stand on your marks."
Lena blinked, Striker taking a crossbow and grinning. Blitz held one as well.
"You get 5 shots, whoever gets the highest points wins." Stolas smiled.
Striker took a shot, bam right in the ten circle. Lena took her shot and hit dead center. Blitz not wanting to be shown up, aimed and fired. He too hit the center.
Round two the targets were moved back ten paces. Striker took his shot and hit dead center, Lena following suit. Blitz fired and hit inside the ten circle but it was close to the nine.
Ten more paces back for round three. Striker fired, another dead center hit. Lena aimed and loosed her bolt, hitting just north of dead center. Blitz took a breath, aimed and fired... another just barely inside the ten circle.
Round four moved back twenty paces, the crowd was silent. Striker took his shot and hit dead center again. Lena smirked and took aim, firing and hitting the target dead center. Blitz aimed fired the bolt, it landed just barely inside the ten spot.
Round five set the target back fifty more paces. The entire crowd got quiet, watching with anticipation. Striker took a breath, took aim and fired, hitting the target dead center again. Blitz took his shot and it hit in the nine circle. Lena took a breath, aimed and fired her bolt pinned in the target next to Striker's.
"Blitz is out and Striker has won because of his perfect shots. Lena will take second!" Stolas announced.
Striker bowed and grabbed Lena up, hugging her. She smiled and kissed him. "My big winner." She grinned some.
He hissed pleasantly and nuzzled her. "Mmmm... my second place pumpkin."
Stolas smiled some and stepped forth to curse the crops with glow of the true harvest moon.
Striker and Lena meanwhile took Havu and headed home.
