Jack’s eyes were so heavy with sleep it wasn’t even funny. In-fact, nothing seemed funny anymore. He felt as if all the worlds’ troubles had fallen upon his shoulders. His cubs were SO big now and he didn’t understand how it happened. He never once gave anyone of them permission to grow up, especially his little girl! Yet, she had and he felt so very lost.
He was father that just couldn’t control anything! He didn’t know where the time went. Oh how he would have given up anything to have his cubs be… well, cubs again. As they grew he felt himself become more overcome by fear and discontent. THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO GROW UP. EVER.
He told them all this when they were small!
No one ever listened to him. He sighed.
“I miss Aysha.”
Was all he could say as he let himself slug against a rock, frowning.

Athena, on the other hand, was rather enjoying being bigger than before. Her legs were longer and she found that she could run long distances more easily, and it was also easier for her to leap into higher branches of the trees. And that was the best part. The leopard in her simply loved climbing trees. She couldn't get enough of them. There were days where she would spend a whole day resting in one single tree, either sleeping or watching the passersby.
But her father, she knew, wasn't so happy about her being big. And that was what troubled her. What was so bad about growing up? She simply couldn't understand his logic. But she attempted to cheer him up and show him that it wasn't the end of the world, her growing up.
That was how she had come to be waiting in a tree, above where her father now slumped. Her tail swished back and forth, making her look like she was on a hunt. And, in a way, she was. She had been hunting for her father all day, and now she had chanced upon him. Flexing her claws into the branch she was on, she smirked and hung her head down slightly.
"Go visit her then, silly," she giggled, hoping she scared him at least a little. She always kept up her playfulness around him to show him that she'd always be his little girl, no matter how big she was physically. Hopefully it would work.

Jack’s fur bristled as she jumped at him. He was too old for this!
“SUYha!”
He spat out before heaving deeply.
“AthenaAthenaAthena!”
He gasped some.
“Your trying to kill me aren’t you?”
He gave her a very sad look at first, as if to play with her heart-strings. He knew how kind hearted she was, and sometimes for fun it would pull at them in a playful way, of course.
“Haha, very cute. One of these days I will get you back, just you wait little lady.”
He gazed at her for a moment, taking in her new look. She was almost as big as he was and the sad thing about that was... when she was just a bit older... she would be bigger than him, just like his mate and sons. Jack felt so tinyyyyy.
“I will later. M’just thinking of something to give her today, maybe flowers..”
Jack answered finally and smirked some before lifting a paw to playful bat at her left cheek.
“Why are you spying on me anyway little girl?”

Athena couldn't contain her laughter as her father attempted to regain himself. She had certainly scared him! "Oh daddy," she spoke, still giggling some. "You should have seen your face! It was so funny.." Rolling over, she eventually settled on her belly, her legs sprawled out behind her like a frog. Her tail swished back and forth as a grin became plastered on her face.
"Nah, I wouldn't want to kill you daddy. I'd be too sad." She frowned along with him to show that his act had worked. But in the next moment she was perky again, rolling over so that she was on her back and so that she had to look at him awkwardly.
"Oh no! I'm so scared," she teased, outstretching a leg to try and bat at his face. She giggled again then rolled back over to her belly. "Besides, I'm not so little anymore, Daddy." To emphasize, she rose to her paws and stood in front of him, her nose pressed against his. Before, she would have had to jump in order to reach his nose with her own, or have him lower his head down to her level. Now, it was no problem at all. She knew she hadn't want to upset him or anything with reminding him how much she had grown, but she simply couldn't resist this time.
As he spoke of wanting to give something to her mother, she smiled and wiggled slightly. "Oh! She'll really love flowers! Especially purple ones. She says she loves them the most because they remind her of you." She murred happily and looked at her father all dreamy-eyed. Now that she was almost fully grown, she was beginning to take an interest in love stories. Before, it was all about playing and being rough. But now, she was more of a lady.
Shrugging her shoulders, awkwardly, she leaned away from his swatting paw playfully. "I was bored so I came and found you. And I wouldn't call it spying. You were hardly doing anything," she giggled, teasing.

“Hush you, child!”
Jack laughed and butted his head against her own for a moment, before pulling back as she rolled back onto her back. He was very proud of her, she was so lovely and smart and strong, everything her mother was! He couldn’t have asked for a better daughter and he would most currently never want another. No one would ever be like his little girl, never!
“Really? Good, she’ll be happy today.”
He smiled and added.
“And I know she loves purple, I’m the s**t, and everyone loves me.”
He didn’t mind swearing in front of her, if she wanted to be older he would act like himself more so around her.
And he was one rude-a** jerk... that was for sure.
“AHHH, don’t even talk about your height, age or size! I don’t want to hear about it. Let’s pretend you never grew up, okay? Good!”
He laughed manically and rolled onto his side, wigging about in an odd way.
“You can’ttttt grow up. I forbid it!”

As her father referred to her as a child, she sighed and shook her head. But she would let him think of her as a little girl if that was what made him happy. She was such a daddy's girl. She loved him too much, but she didn't care. She'd do anything for him. Well, most anything anyways.
Nodding, she smiled and sighed again, this time as if she were totally smitten with a boy. "Mom is so lucky! You should really get her flowers. It would surprise her. I think she's missed you."
As her father said that he was 'the s**t' she couldn't help but laugh out loud again. "That's right, Dad, everyone is in love with you. They are so envious of your flawless coat. Better watch out or you'll wake up one morning without it!" she giggled, butting her head against his in return.
Yet then he told her to pretend that she'd never grown up. Looking at him oddly, she flicked her tail and tilted her head. "Dad, you can't keep me little forever," she spoke seriously. "I'll always be your little girl, but I'm almost fully grown! You'll embarass me if you keep doing that." After saying that, she looked down at her paws in shame. Never had she thought she'd say those words to her father. She loved him so much and she had never thought she'd ever be ashamed of him. But she just wanted him to accept that she was growing up, damnit!
"Daaaad," she whined. "Stop it."
