Tirah got the idea of what the teecher was saying, and took the cub in both hands, then hurried to the stairs. "Ill be right back! I wont be late!" She called over her shoulder in a very determined way. She then went up the stairs as fast as she could without scaring the cub, which she learned was pretty much as fast as she could go. The cub was definately a boy, upon inspection, and didnt seem at all upset or scared of her movement. "Courage?" She thought... THAT WAS IT! The perfect name for this perfect little creature. She would call them courage!

In her room, Tirah quickly set up a litter box, and took a dish for dehydrated fish chunks and left that on the floor. She took a very shallow dish, filled it up nearly 1 inch with water, and placed that next to it. Finaly, she set up a little bed in case courage got tired. She did one last sweep of the room to make sure there wasnt anything to choke on or get stuck in or anything like that within Courage's reach. Than she ran back downstairs, 3 steps at a time, with a huge grin. Tirah nearly passed out she had winded herself so much, but she just kept thinking of courage, and it gave her the strength to get to class on time.
