Tiny was sleeping peacefully in his little bed. He was called Tiny because he was the runt of the litter. His brother, Socks, and sister, Ruby, were playing rough house with each other. Ruby ran from Socks and jumped on top of Tiny.

"Ow!" Tiny yelped, "That really hurt!"

"Sorry runt," Ruby mocked, "Didn't see ya there."

Socks laughed at Ruby's horrid joke and Tiny crouched down. He furrowed his eyebrows and bared his teeth. Ruby and Socks both looked at him, then back at each other. They laughed once more.

"Are you trying to be fierce?" Ruby asked, "If so, it's not working!"

"I'm trying to tell you guys to back off!" Tiny exclaimed.

"Ooohh! So scary!" Socks mocked.

Ruby and Socks laughed.

"Socks! Ruby! Come here at once!" their mother, Quince, called.

They both hoped out of the bed and walked over to her. Ruby looked up at Quince innocently, "Yes mamma?" she asked.

Quince made a face of disapproval, "What have I told you about rough housing with your little brother?"

"But momma! He's no fun to play with! He's too small and he always gets in the way!" Socks told Quince.

"Be nice to him," Quince replied.

Tiny's POV

That's my momma. She's really nice. She makes sure I don't get hurt. She doesn't like it when Socks and Ruby play rough with me... But they don't care. They tease me all the time and make fun of how small I am. If I were bigger... I would show them both...

If I were bigger....

Normal POV

Socks and Ruby walked back over to the bed and peeked inside. They looked at each other and smirked.

Ruby whispered, "Listen here you little brat. Don't get us in trouble again or you'll have it."

"What she said," Socks whispered as well.

Tiny furrowed his eyebrows again. He hissed at them.

Ruby and Socks both said in reunion, "We're sorry we picked on you, little brother!"

Quince sat up straight and smiled, "Now that's more like it!"

They both walked away but Tiny stayed where he was. He knew their little games by now. He knew they never meant it when they said, "I'm sorry." They always had something to say immediately before or after they did so. Tiny thought about how the Big Cat in the sky would soon come down and take them both away and how he would be the center of attention. He knew that he would someday have his two-legs and mom to himself.

If only I were bigger... He thought.
