Aaron was practicing fighting with some of the other bucks his age. Right now, he was facing his good friend Digory. He blocked an overhead strike, knocking Digory's sword to the side with his spear.

Digory then brought his sword back around aiming high. Aaron jumped back as the sword barely missed his shoulder. He looked down and moved his hand positions on his spear, and he stepped forward to block another blow. Then he and Digory both blocked and stood pushing against each other's weapons.

Aaron used all his strength as he pushed against Digory's blade. Aaron succeeded in pushing Digory back against a tree, but then Digory shoved forward with his sword. Aaron lost his balance for a minute before finding it once again. He then swung his spear around to block a quick stroke from Digory.

Aaron looked down to fix his hand positions and looked up in time to see Digory jump at him, his sword held over his head. Aaron brought his spear up to block the crushing blow, and the two of them fell backward. Digory was on his feet first, rolling and jumping to his feet in a matter of moments.

Aaron was on his feet a few seconds later, and the two friends looked at each other for a second before going at it again. They fought on. Soon the other bucks stopped what they were doing and watched them.

Aaron did a dragon tail kick, bowing low to the ground while sending his leg out in a sweeping arch; and knocking Digory off his feet. Aaron then shot up and leveled his spear at Digory's chest, a smile adorning his face.

Aaron then lowered his spear and offered his hand to Digory. Digory took the offer and got up to the applause and cheers of the other bucks.

A tall, lean black rabbit with light blue eyes came toward them, a smile on his face. Aaron looked down; this was his older brother, Zoulan. "You did amazing, Aar." His brother said as he slapped him on the back.

Aaron hated being called Aar, and Zoulan knew that he just did it anyway. Aaron smiled, not wanting to let his brother see how much it aggravated him. He looked up at Zoulan and said, "Thank you."

He then heard Digory say from behind them, "It's good, but I've seen you do better, my friend. I mean, your skills were just a little sloppy so, what did you have on your mind?"

Aaron turned and looked at Digory. Digory was a short white buck with brown splotches and bright green eyes. Digory was wearing black clothes and always carried a sword on his back. Digory was one of his best friends, besides Zoulan.

Aaron wanted to tell him what had been on his mind, but it was embarrassing. He was nervous about taking Alice to the dance tonight. He didn't know if he could do it; he started feeling sick and queasy just thinking about it. He wanted to go and hide somewhere; she made him so nervous. Yes, he had asked her, somehow, but that had been hard. Could he actually dance with her?

He then looked at Digory and said, "I'm fine. I just wasn't feeling it today, that's all."

"If you say so, Aaron," Digory said.

Then Zoulan said, "I know what's wrong with your friend here. He's nervous, and he's in love. He asked a doe to the dance."

"Don't worry, Aaron, I'm sure it will be fine, but I could come if you like. She won't know I'm there, but if it would make you feel better." Digory said.

Aaron shook his head, "Yeah, thanks. I gotta go get ready so, if you’re coming, let's go." With that, Aaron started walking off, and Digory followed. Aaron was so nervous it felt like he was going to be sick.

"It's going to be fine. I will be there for you, and you will have a great time. There is nothing to be worried about, my friend." Digory said.

Aaron hoped Digory was right. But he couldn't feel a little uneasy he just hoped he didn't embarrass himself in front of Alice or anyone else.
