Chapter 10: Lunchtime

Ash returned to The Bending Tower after he had practiced bending water. He had not been able to make it hit the tree - he got close, however.
As they walked up to the door, Kabu came through. "It's time for lunch. Come to the yard - some of our apprentices and teachers have caught prey."
Rusty ran to the yard, Ash trotting after him. Cora came next, and Creature brought up the rear.
Ash grabbed a deer, and dragged it and sat in between Charlotte and Spots. Spots was eating a rabbit. Charlotte was eating a beaver.
"I caught that," Spots wagged his tail. "Willow and Sun helped me."
"Good job," Ash mumbled through his mouthful of deer.
"It is a good job," Charlotte stated. "We rarely catch deer."
"And Ash gets to eat it all?"
Ash looked up from the deer. Stone was standing there, lashing her bushy tail.
"He got it first," Charlotte growled.
"Yeah, lighten up, Stone!" Spots panted, still wagging his tail. "Lighten up and soar through the skies!"
"I don't have wings, you dumb dog," Stone growled.
Spots didn't look offended. He just kept wagging his tail, smiling.
"'Soar through the skies', is Spots's famous quote," Charlotte whispered to Ash.
Stone snarled and stalked off toward Airia, Kabu, Shell and Willow.
"Why is Stone always in a bad mood?" Ash turned to Charlotte.
"She usually is," Charlotte shrugged.
"Stone needs to learn to be nice," Spots commented, eating on his rabbit once again.

Author's Note:
Guess Ash, Charlotte and Spots don't like grumpy Benders. X3
