The pups were naturally mischevious and they woke up right after Reich had fallen asleep. They squirmed away from their parents and snuck out of the den. They trotted through the trees just as the sun came up. They reached the great river in the middle of the valley and they noticed the ice that had begun to form on the surface. The season was just beginning to change and everything was freezing. The ice was thin, but the pups didn't notice. Allin stepped cautiously out onto the thin ice. He put his weight on it and then took another step when it didn't crack, ignoring the whispers of caution from his sister. He took small steps onto the ice and then froze as he heard the crack. Jaz's ears shot up and her eyes were wide. "Allin get back here!" she whispered desperately. Allin stared down at the ice beneath him as the crack grew. He backed up slowly and soon he was back on the bank as the ice broke away. They started to explore again while their parents slept.

Reich woke up again hearing ice crack. He jumped up, afraid for the pups. He ran outside, looking desperatly for them. When he saw them exploring, he let out his breath, and sat down in the shadows, enjoying watching his pups.

Karah threw her head up. She almost panicked when she didn't see the pups beside her. She bounded out of the cave and sighed as she sat next to Reich. How would she ever keep up with them? She shook her head, smiling, as she watched them.

Reich smiled at Karah as she sat next to him in the shadows. "They're very adventerious, aren't they?", he stated, shaking his head.

"Yes," she sighed, "What will we ever do with them?" She smiled and rubbed her head against him.
The pups tumbled through the trees and Allin spotted a squirrel. They chased it playfully until it finally climbed up a tree and chattered its scolds to the pups. They laughed and went away to find something else to do.

Reich laughed quietly. "Do you think they will always be this crazy?"

"Oh, I'm sure they'll grow out of it," replied Karah.

But Reich shook his head. "I don't know, Allin seems to be on the wild side. " he said, playfully teasing Karah.

Karah laughed quietly. "At least he's not afraid of anything," she said, nipping at his shoulder playfully.

Allin and Jaz trotted out of sight to explore even more.
Karah watched them and resisted the urge to follow them to make sure they didn't get into trouble.

Reich saw Karah wanting to go after the pups, and laughed. "They'll be fine." he said reassuringly.

Karah smiled, not completely reassured. She watched the place she had last saw them.
The pups found a moose and her calf. Jaz wanted to go back to get Karah, but Allin started stalking the moose anyway. "Allin..." said Jaz hesitantly. She grabbed his tail and pulled him back angrily. Allin snarled at her. Jaz let go and looked past him in fear. The mother moose had spotted them and she was angry. She charged them. "Allin..." said Jaz urgently, but he continued to snarl at her, oblivious to the danger they were in.
Karah couldn't take it anymore. She leapt up and bounded toward the pups' scent.

Reich, taken aback, stood stunned for a few seconds, then came to his senses, and bolted to the pups.

Tinker sat in some long grass. He cried out loudly, he was lonely and wanted a friend.
