He hadn't really wanted to come. The idea of so many big people and the big buildings made Zippy kind of itchy. As he stood with his back pressed against a stone wall, he grabbed the thighs of his pants and scratched at his legs. Sunken eyes looked up at those who bustled around him. All the giggling and chattering. Zippy wasn't small, in fact he was a bit tall for his young age, but he certainly tried to make himself seem small. Wasn't there suppose to be someone here to take him around the school? Miss Moira said there would be but who was it? No one seemed to stop and pay him much attention. Which in all honesty he was kind of thankful for as he shoved a hand into one pocket. He fiddled with his little bow tie with the other. Whhhyyyyyyy had mom made him wear it?!

Angerona yawned lightly as she noticed there was quiet a few ghouls and boils walking around today. "Wonder if that boil is here?" She said to herself. The other day she had gotten a scream-mail that said she was going to be giving a tour to a young boil. She looked high and low, but with everyboil walking around, it had made things harder. "Now where could he be?" She asked herself as she got out of the line of fire. She didn't enjoy crowds much, but this was just ridiculous.

Zippy shuffled his feet. Stuffed both hands in his pockets. Took his hands out of his pockets. Toed at a pebble in front of him with the toe of his sneaker, the laces completely untied. Gosh maybe he should just go back. But then mama might get mad. Taking a deep breath, the little boil summoned up as much courage as he could. "E..e...excuse me?" Reaching out, he grasped and tugged on the edge of Angerona's skirt. "Do you know where Miss Moira is? Iwassupposetomeetsomeonehere buttheyaren'there andI'dliketogohomenow." He exhaled hard. Speaking to this pretty lady was too much, just too much.

Angenora was a bit taken back by the tug at her skirt. But the voice seemed a bit scared and younger than her. "Miss Moira? I don't know where she could be."She spoke calmly as she turned to face the boil. "Take a deep breath and tell what's wrong. I'm Angenora Jewels, a year one student here. What's your name?" She said with a pointy smile and a light giggle.

Deep breath. Wait! He didn't really need to breath, but even still he went through the motion. It was what people did to calm down. At least its what mama told him to do when he kind of freaked out. His thin fingers grasped harder on her skirt. The smile and giggle calmed him down just a little bit. "Zippy." The zomboil scuffed the toe of his shoe against the pavement. "Me 'en the others got brought here by Miss Moira, to...to be shown around and stuff. And I'm..." He looked up at her, worry in his sunken little eyes. "I'm suppose to have a student show me around but there are so many here and I can't find them."

Angenora blinked when Zippy talked about Miss Moira was having tours. She smiled once again, "how about I be your tour guide then? How does that sound, Zippy? We can find Miss Moira by the time we are finished." She asked as she tried to make the little zomboil feel more comfortable around the school grounds. "We can start by showing you the dorm rooms. We can go to mine then to the other main buildings." she explained as she took hold of his hand.

"That...sounds ok. Do you have toys in your room? I like toys. Especially Go-Go Battle Bots!" A broad smile parted his lips. "GO-GO BATTLE BOTS LETS GO-GO-GO! Fighting those meanies, punch them in the nose!" It might not have been an exact rendition of the song but it was close enough. When she took his hand, his body went a little rigid. Zippy would have preferred to just cling to her skirt but if she wanted to hold his hand he would not protest. At least now he wasn't by himself. And Angenora seemed nice enough. And then a popping noise and Zippy's hand popped right off.

Angenora laughed a little at how enthusiastic this zomboil was. "I have a few toys, but there's a couple of meowstaches in there too. Go-Go Battle Bots?" She asked since she hadn't heard of a toy like that before. She noticed he went a little rigid, "don't worry, I don't bite." She joked then became startled when his right hand popped off. "I'm sorry! Here's your hand back!" she said with an embarrassed expression as she holds out his hand to Zippy.

He gave her a shy little grin while taking the hand back. "Its ok. That isn't my real hand." To which his real hand popped out of the sleeve of his jacket. "See? I'm sorry if it startled you." Zippy wiggled his fingers to show her, tucking the fake one into a pocket. "Ah..ah y-yes! Go-Go Battle Bots. They are big robots that beat up mean monsters who try to destroy Halloween Town." Zippy karate chopped the air for emphasis. "The smaller bots are piloted by the super awesome Battle Bot pilots, then transform into Mega Bot and use the Sword of Fear to send those nasty monsters back to the eleventy dimension where their evil Lord Zero plots and schemes another day." Zippy loved the show. He watched it religiously. It was probably the only thing that got him out of his shell and talking without being too shy. He took her hand again. "Meowstaches? My mama has a Venusfly Cat. But she's kind of old and mean and likes to bite me."

Angenora laughed at his joke with the fake hand. "It's alright! I wasn't expecting that.Good joke by the way!" she added with a smile. She listened to him talk about Go-Go Battle Bots and felt that she should be watching this show as well. "Well when does it air? Maybe we can catch it in my room?" She asked as they kept on walking towards the undead student dorms. She nodded at his question. "They are my companions in my dorm. I have two so far, but might get a third if i can find the right one." She explained as she gave a light giggle. "Venusfly cats can be quite grumpy when they get to an older age, but meowstaches are just lovable through and through!"After a little while longer of walking she stopped infront of her dorm door. "This is my room!" She said with glee as she opened the door to find an orange tabby meowstache stare at the two of them. ~Merow!~ It chirped as it rubbed up against Angenora's leg. "Rusty, my tubby fluff!" She said with glee.

He was glad she was not upset about his little prank. But now that would leave the door open to even more pranks. Some perhaps she might not be so cool about. Zippy shook his head. "It was on earlier this morning, before I came here. I watch it everyday when I eat breakfast." The zomboil stared wide eyed at the dorms. Shuffling along close to Angenora, trying not to stare at anyone. Mama said that was bad manners. When she opened the door to her room and the Meowstache appeared he stopped a little short. Staring at the chubby thing a bit hesitantly. Past experiences with Mama's Venusfly cat came flooding back.

"This is Rusty, my tubby meowstache!" Angenora said with glee as she picked up her pet with a huge smile on her face. She gave a pouty face when Zippy said something about the show only being on in the mornings. She gave a groan, "I'm never up early enough to watch shows. But I believe you when you say it's a good show." she said with a smile as she began to walk into her dorm with her cat in arms. "You alright, Zippy?" The ghoul asked as she looked back to him with a concerned expression.
