Doreen had just needed to escape, wander aimlessly amongst the streets and just try to get her baring. It was a strange new world. Nothing like New York. She had thought spandex wearing superheroes and five three girls with bushy tails would be the most eyecatching thing here.
She was very wrong. There were people of all colors and shapes and sizes, and even some non-humans milling about. Her green eyes were wide, taking in all the sights as she walked on autopilot past strangers.
Her tail twitched as a spark slid up her spine and the short ginger spun on her heel to stare at the back of the woman who had just passed her. There was one creature that could make her feel like that. One of them just so happened to be draped over her shoulder.
Doreen practically turned on her heel instantaneously, trailing after the woman. She spoke before she even realized what she wanted to say.
Uh, Hi there excuse me yes?" Doreen paused, her freckled cheeks lighting up brightly as she floundered for her words.
How did you politely ask someone to see their squirrel?
