Lottie and Hakon were sitting across from each other, a chess board between them. Hakon was staring at Lottie, who was gazing off into space.
"Are you going to go?" Hakon finally asked.
Lottie looked up, surprised. "I already did."
"What? Where?"
"I moved this thingi over here."
"Pawns can't go sideways."
"They can't? Dang. The horsies can, though, right?"
"No."
"Dang!" Lottie started at the board for a moment. "Okay, start over."
"Again?"
"I'm getting better! We got almost twelves moves that time."
Hakon buried his face in his hands. Over his head, Lottie saw a horrifying sight. Her eyes widened.
"Six of them," she whispered.
"What?" said one of the wolves. The others looked at each other.
"Gah! There are six of us!"
One of the wolves puffed itself up. "Well, we were here first, so you can go find someone else to kill. He's ours."
"Him?" another wolf said, snorting. "You can have him. We're after her."
"Oh. Well, that's okay then."
Lottie looked up at Hakon. "Let's just say you won."
Hakon nodded wordlessly.

Later that Night, the wolves split up. Before they headed home, the first pack said to the other,
"We are so gonna beat you guys."
"Oh, it's on!" the others said.
"Good Night," they said together, and went home cackling.
