"Come on slowpoke!" Lily called back to stick, who was falling behind. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" His gruff voice called back, as he sped up and took the lead again.

As Tiger was walking, he was taking in the beauty of his surroundings. He saw lovely flowers, there were pink ones, blue ones, purple ones and many more, in many bright colours. He was enjoying the view of the sunrise, and because there where no trees, he could see the sky much better, it was painted different shades of orange, pink and yellow. He was enjoying the nice smells of the wind, and the dew on the morning grass.

When they were walking farther on, the nice smells disappeared, and was replace by a revolting smell. "What's that horrible smell?" He asked, Lily and Sardine looked at each other for a while, then sniffed the air. Then shared an alarmed glance, "What is it?"
"Fox!" Tiger's eyes grew wide, and his fur rose. Sardine was jumping at every sound, and Lily looked terrified. However Stick was calm, he was walking confidently even though he knew there was a fox near by, and even didn't flinch when an owl screeched loudly.

Tiger thought he had seen a fox's tail, but he just shook his head, and told himself it was just a pretty flower. Tiger sniffed the air again, and realised that the fox scent was stronger, and he could hear faint paw-steps that didn't belong to his companions. But he just kept walking, until he saw a big red creature blocking his pathway.
"FOX!"
