Awaiting Adoption: Part 2
I wake up in the morning not knowing what time it is at all. I move on out of the Flag Shop, and hurry past Sarepia Theater and Treetop Gardens. I ride down the stone slide, go past the firepit, and trod into Jamaa Township.
It isn't bustling with life this early in the morning, and the cool flagstones send a slight chill through my bones. I pass all the familiar destinations - Jam Mart Furniture, Jam Mart Clothing, the Diamond Shop, the Sol Arcade, and Club Geoz. There might be just enough time......
I'm going to do it.
I pad carefully around the Diamond Shop, keeping low to the ground so no one sees me. The beat of music thumps behind the doors of Club Geoz. It's so tempting.
I open the door, and.....
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING??" calls a voice from behind me.
"Um, no ma'am!" I blurt without thinking.
"To the Pillow Room." she says, and the next thing I know I'm in it.
I creep into the dark room pawstep by pawstep, afraid to think of what might happen next. I sit down on a mat and bat at it, whacking of what's probably years' worth of dust. The tiger sits down next to me on a mat, then sniffs the air.
"It's not safe here." she says. "To my den."
