Uh oh. Snailkit was not deterred by the boasting and bluffing, and now Antkit had to stand to her word. Quite literally, in fact. And given her very recent failure at balancing, it wasn't looking too good. But wait! She was Antkit, thinker and genius extraordinaire! And she had a most brilliant plan! Backing slowly towards the wall of the den, till her tail was almost touching it, she smirked slightly, throwing a quick I hope you're ready to lose squirt! at Snailkit(wow it felt good teasing others about being short for once). Was her plan devious and just a bit dirty? Yes, yes it was. Was it probably her only chance to potentially win? Also yes, and so it was the course of action she would be taking. Puffing up her small chest in a rather pointless show of confidence, the small she-kit half-rose to her hind legs, before dropping down again in an odd, front-hopping motion. Sucking in the breath of champions, she began to count. Three....two.....one.....go!

As soon as that last, short syllable had left her mouth, she was up. Up onto her hind legs, tottering about on her hind legs for a moment before she seemed to find some stability. This was, of course, because of her cunning plan. Near to the wall as she was, she was able to extend her tail to it, keeping her at least from tipping backwards onto her rump. It didn't rule out the possibility of a frontwards tumble or a sideways one, but it did give her a little edge in the stability department. It was a horribly unnecessary trick, given that this was nothing but friendly nursery competition, but Antkit hated to lose, and was therefore firmly resolved to do anything in her power to prevent it from occurring. Now she just had to hope Snailkit wouldn't notice, or wouldn't call her on it.

Yes! Her cunning plan was working perfectly! Snailkit didn't suspect a thing! Or, at least, didn't cotton on to Antkit's devious strategy immediately. So that was good! Not getting caught was always very, very good. What was less good was Snailkit's apparent excellence at this exercise, maybe the other really was exceptionally coordinated(or Antkit was exceptionally uncoordinated). Still, she was on her paws, and that was all that she had to do to win a victorious victory of awesomeness. But, alas, Snailkit did not remain ignorant, or at least totally unawares, for long. Their little eyes narrowed, and a steely glint rose in them, and Antkit tried to form her face into one of perfect innocence. It was.....sort of there? She looked less smirking, but still definitely smirking a little bit. Ah, there it was. The inquiry. Time to lie! Huh? Me? I'm not close to the wall, you're close to the wall! the molly proclaimed, somewhat forgetting the subtlety that was necessary if your lie was meant to actually be believed. She did stick a deflection in there at the end, but her avoidance tactics were sadly underdeveloped for one who was as willing to cheat as she was. Maybe it was because by this point other kits normally just knocked her over, and things devolved into wrestling because her honor had been challenged. Regardless, it was not the most sophisticated of lies.
