Crysticat (Part 5)

Riley was quite puzzled by his first experience as a sparring partner.

As soon as Sparky appeared, it happily rubbed its head against Riley.

Riley petted Sparky's furry head and suddenly said, "I'll take you to dye your fur."

"Bark!"

Sparky abruptly took a step back and shaking its head vigorously.
