Sf {} 38

Instructions

Flash couldn't help but laugh. Hadn't he tried to tell Static how *unfit* he was to lead? This *was* something Flash himself had recognized, and tried to tell Static many times. But what was he met with? Screaming. Because, how dare Flash question Static's authority? But truly, that wasn't what Flash was doing, he was asking a genuine question out of concern for his kingdom. But now, all he was being told was how unfit he was to lead this kingdom. "No duh." Flash muttered. He wanted to yell after Static, telling him that he was right, but that Flash had tried to tell him that, and Static was being stupid trying to make Flash into something he clearly couldn't be. But Flash knew he couldn't do that, so instead he begrudgingly turned back to the sticky, suffocating pit of mud. Flash really didn't want to sit there and flail around in the mud like an idiot for hours. It seemed pointless, and was clearly just a result of Static's lack of knowledge on how to actually *run* the kingdom. After all, Static just had everyone else do things for him. But he wouldn't admit that to anyone, not even himself. But after a moment of consideration, Flash realized that it wasn't worth the risk. He might as well go through with said 'Training', so at least of Static saw him, he wouldn't have anything to say. Flash started racing through the mud, being so fast that he barely touched it. After quite a while of doing this, he wished somebody would come by and relieve him of his ridiculous task. But for hours, nobody did, until Static finally decided to return. When Flash noticed Static, he could tell right away that he was upset about *something*, which wasn't a good sign. Static's face twisted in anger when he saw Flash, who had decided to take a small break before continuing. Flash was leaning against a tree, his paws plastered in wet mud. He was clearly out of breath, and his fur was all tangled and matted with dried mud. It was *clear* he had followed through with the training, so Flash wasn't really sure why Static looked so angry. Nevertheless- Flash felt a feeling of awful, sickening dread begin to fill him. What would Static say this time?
