F/O Merry May Day 12: Animals
Pix got down on one knee, and opened her arms. Hana paused behind her, blinking.
“Pix?” Hana said, holding her book a bit closer to her. “Why are you doing that?”
Pix’s mom opened the door. The woman was tall, had orange hair, and freckles almost everywhere on her body. She smiled at Pix, and stepped aside. Hana waved awkwardly to Pix’s mom, but then-
Two dogs barreled out from the hallway inside. Their fur was mostly black, with some white paws, faces, and underbellies. They were also very big dogs. Pix got tackled, and they started to lick her face.
“Panda, Orion, I missed you so much!” Pix cried, patting the dogs’s heads as much as she could. The two dogs were seemingly crawling all over her, and Hana yelped. She hadn’t seen such a big dog before!
One of the dogs, the one with graying paws, stopped licking at Pix and looked over to Hana. Hana waved. She felt a bit out of place here. The dog slowly walked over to Hana, and rubbed against her side, sitting down and looking up at Hana, panting.
The other dog, with more bright white on his face and paws than the other one, noticed Hana, and adjusted his position around Pix. Pix started to pet his side, and looked over to Hana.
“These are my dogs! I didn’t speak of them before, haha...” Pix rubbed her neck with her free hand. Pix pointed over at the dog next to Hana, and said, “That’s Pandora! My family likes to call her Panda.”
Hana put her hand down on Pandora’s head, and the dog closed her eyes, still panting a little. The pink-haired girl smiled. Her family had something Hana didn’t, and that was cool.
“Pix,” another voice said, and Hana saw a girl with long brown hair, no freckles, and blue eyes lean on the doorway. “Are you going to come inside or not? We need the OuiU back, y’know!”
