Adoption day.
Shayla was practically tugging Jason's hand as she ran towards the large white building. It was the local Gaia ASPCA, taking in the stray animals and adopting out to loving families. Somehow, though he didn't know how it happened, Shayla had convinced him to get a pet. It couldn't hurt.... Right?
"Daaaaaaddy! HURRY!" Shayla grunted, able to see the doors to the building and yet they were so far from it! Why did he have to walk so slow?!
Jason only chuckled. "Shalya, there isn't a need to rush. There will be plenty of animals in side. Just no dogs."
Shayla grinned, already having her heart set on a kitten. Or maybe a bunny. A turtle could be neat.... NO! It has to be a kitten. Looking up at her father she just gave a nod. "Oooookie Daaaddy! No doggie. But I wants a cute kitty!"
Jason smiled. A cat he'd agree with.. They were much more independent thank a dog and wouldn't leave little piles of coiled joy in the back yard. His mother would surely kill him for that one. Finally inside the building, Jaosn released his hold on Shayla's hand.
Feeling the release, the small child shot off towards the large sign that read "Small Animals." Surely kittens would be in that room right? But she was rushing so fast she didn't even see the other girl she bumped into. Stumbling backwards, she fell upon her bottom and sniffled a bit.

"BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY BUMMY BUM--...That's not right is it?" Ashe questioned as her voice started to become coarse from yelling '"BUNNY" ever since they left the house. Ruth decided that they wanted a pet, so she asked both Noah and Ashe. Noah wanted a super dog, but Ashe wanted a bunny, and her screams overuled all other possibilites.
So they were on their way to the Gaia pet adoption agency, or ASPCA, to find a bunny. They chose one from the ASPCA since they would rather have a lost bunny than a found one! Well Ashe did at least. She thought that she could teach the lost one the ways of being royalty!
When they reached the ASPCA, they both greeted the receptionist at the front desk, and started to walk towards the sign that read, "Small Animals. But on their way there, Ashe bumped into another girl.
"OWIE!" Ashe exclaimed as she too fell to the ground. "What was that for?!" she yelled at the other girl. "Ashe! Are you okay?!" exclaimed Ruth. Her mom quickly helped her up and started to dust off her dress. "Sorry about that." she said to the father of the other little girl.

Hearing the girl, Shayla turned towards her. Her eyes all but narrowed when this girl accused her of being at fault. As if she had just done that on purpose! Her bum hurt too! Opening her mouth to say something, she was silenced before a word could be muttered by her father's hand. Jason stood over her, looking up at the mother and smiling. "Oh... It's quite alright.... Shayla here just is excited is all..." He explained, helping his girl up to her feet.
Wiggling free from his grasp, Shayla dusted off her shorts before fixing Ashe with a cold stare. "I'm here for a kitty. I'm gunna get the cutest and bestest one," she paused, noting the look from her father. It was that look that told her to drop the attitude quickly before she was punished. So, she forced a smile and continued, "What are you here for?"

Once the girl, Shayla, asked Ashe about what animal she was looking for, she immediately broke into a high pitched scream. She started to yell, "BUNNY!" all over the adoption center, disrupting most of the other visitors and animals.
"I really want a bunny! BUT kitties are cute too! I would get one....BUT Noah, my older brother, unfortunately, is allergic so I'm stuck with a bunny! But those are just as cute! BUT why are you going to the small animals section when kitties are much, much, MUCH bigger?"

"A bunny..." Well those were cute to.. But a kitty. Yep, her heart was definatly set on a kitty. "And Noooooooo." She dragged out, turning to walk into the small animal room ahead of her father. "Kitties are small to. They have small doggies to, but doggies are much bigger than kitties. A tiger is a big kitty but Daddy said I can't have a tiger." She explained, throwing her hands in the air as if devastated by that fact. "Buuuuut. I'm gunna get me a kitty that's striped like a tiger. A mini tiger! It'll be so AWESOME!" She cheered, jumping a bit in her excitement.

"Tigers are scary....YOU SHOULD GET A PINK ONE! Is there such a thing?! I want a pinky bunny. Just like in cartoons! They're soooooo cute!" Ashe said, screaming at the idea.
"Mommy! Can we find a PINK rabbit?! It would match so well with my room! And then I can put hearts on it too! And name it...PANCAKES! YAY! I LOOOVE PANCAKES!"
"Whatever you want sweetie, but I think putting hearts on it is a little inhumane...especially to these poor little rabbits." Ruth said, trying to bring Ashe down as gently as she could.
"OKAY...FINE..But can we go find a rabbit now? And a kitty too? For Shayla I mean!"
Ruth gave Ashe a smile and a nod, and once she said 'Sure,' Ashe was off into the long corridor, bringing Shayla along. "Let's go bring animals home!"
"Oh dear..." Ruth added, looking to Jason, "I think she would follow them."

Jason smiled as he watched their two kids. Yeah, Shayla surely was making a lot of friends lately. Though could this girl be considered a friend yet, that would be explained later. Giving a nod to the woman, he followed after the two of them.
Shayla just giggled a bit, "Cartoons are stooooopid! I dun watch those. N there are no pink bunnies! Does aren't real. Only Easter bunnies are pink." She stated, giving the other a little look before she smiled. This ones surely was weird.
"I wan-" she stopped, speaking and walking. It was abrupt and her eyes were on a room labeled 'cats.' Oh how she wanted to go in. But... Should they get the bunny first? She bit her lip in thought before looking at the other girl. Of course they couldn't keep bunnies and kitties in the same room. That was just ridiculous!
Staring at Ashe, the frost girl obviously looked as if she had an internal dilemma, because she did. Oh what to do.

"NOO cartoons are so real! I see purple whales and pink bunnies all the time! BUT if only Easter bunnies are pink, then I'll get a Easter bunny!" Ashe said proudly, nodding at her own personal statement, like she accomplshed something.
When they finally reached the end of the corridor, they saw two other corridors. One on the left and one on the right. One door read 'Rabbits,' and the other 'Cats.' Which should they go in? It was a hard decision because they couldn't go in together! And Ashe really liked Shayla!
"Hmm..." Ashe thought. "Let's look at the kitties first! That way, we can both look for the tiger kitty! Cuz four eyes are better than two!" Ashe took Shayla by the hand and led her into the cat door.
Once again, Ruth and Jason were left to follow the youngsters.

"You can't have the Easter Bunny 'case then he wouldn't give da kids candy!" Huffing, she glanced between the doors again, putting her hands upon her hips.
But Shayla grinned a bit as the other girl said kitty first. Score! Now they had more time to find that most perfectest kitty! Quickly she grabbed Ashe's hand before bolting to the door. "Let's hurry then!"
Though....
The moment she got to the door, she realized she couldn't reach the handle. She waited until Jason came and opened it for them, allowing the three women in before he followed.
Shayla giggled and moved to the area with the kittens, glancing around a bit. "Now it's gotta be cute and have stripes. Like a tiger!"

"Then I'll have the Easter bunny's babies!" Ashe said as she was lead into the room.
"Thankee Jason!" she said when Jason opened the door since the handle was too high.
Ashe nodded at the details that Shayla gave to her and started to look into the cages saying, "Nope not that one," when she came across kittens that didn't fit the description that was given to her.
"Hm...This is hard Shay-!" Ashe said, but she was immediately cut off when she saw the perfect kitten! It was cute AND had stripes! "LOOKIE HERE SHAY!" she exclaimed, pointing to the kitten and jumping up and down wildly.

She could hear Ashe off on the other side of the room turning down every cat. She was right, it was going lots faster with two people looking for the perfect kitten. Soon enough, she was echoing Ashe, "no... No... nope... Not good... nope." She finished the whole bottom row of cages and frowned in disappointment. Where was that perfect kitten?
Just before she was able to ask Ashe if she was having any luck, the other girl started to yell. Smiling brightly, she rushed over to take a peek inside. And, there it was. The most perfectest kitten right down to the T.
"AAAAW! It's PERFECT!" She screamed, startling not only the kitten inside the cage but other families inside the room. Doing a small happy jump, she turned and ran to latch onto her father's leg. "Daddy daddy daddy daddy, pleeeeeease! Can I get that one pleeeeease!" There really was no way the man could say no.
Grinning, Jason nodded and pat the top of Shayla's head. "Of course... Now why don't you go with your friend to find a bunny while I go take care of paper work? It is only fair after all since she helped you."
Nodding, Shayla bolted for Ashe once more and smiled big time. "let's go find youa bunny! It'll be the most perfectest bunny too! I'm gunna help!"

"IT IS CUTE!!! But it has no feet! Scary!" Ashe said, starting to cry a little, "It's so sad too!"
But before she started to wail, Shayla sprinted out of the room and ran for the bunnies, calling Ashe to follow along, and there was no way that Ashe could refuse!
"OKAY, my bunny NEEDS to be pink. Okay? Got that? It has to be cute...of course, with looongg floppy ears!" Ashe explained, just imagining the perfect bunny in her mind. It had to be exactly like Ashe wanted, or else she be the stubborn girl she is, and not choose one.
They finally got to the room filled with rabbits, and Ashe could just smell the sweet aroma of rabbits! She ignored the other smell. "HMM..let's see! Any pink rabbits? Hmmm..." she said, scratching her head while peering through all the cages, both high and low.

Shayla helped of course, moving about near the other cages. Nope, those weren't bunnies... Nor those... She didn't know what some of these were. They looked like mice with no tails. Huffing, she went around and found a spot with bunnies but... no pink ones.
"Saaaaay." She looked over at Ashe and frowned. "I dun think dare are pink bunnies... But da white one over heres got pink eyes?" Well red eyes, but it was still cute and white and fluffy.

"HM, let me look at it!" said Ashe, walking to where Shayla was. "Hmmm..!" she said again, now inspecting it. "I THINK ITS POIFECT! It'll match well with the majority of my outfits..." she said, running to Ruth who just walked in.  "Mommy! I want this rabbit!" Ashe said pointing to the one she wanted. "It's soooo CUTE!" she said squealing at the thought of cuddling it. "Okay, okay, we'll get that one then! I like it too!" Ruth said with a giant smile across her face. "Let me fill out this paperwork and we're free to take it home!" "...YIPEE!"
