It started out as a normal day in the Littlest Pet Shop. Each pet was doing what they loved most. Zoe was trying on new fashions by Blythe, Pepper was coming up with new jokes, Russell was organizing the toys, Sunil and Vinnie were messing them up, and Minka was painting a picture of Penny Ling with her ballet ribbon.

"Blythe, I'm looking for something with more...funk," Zoe said to Blythe. She was currently sporting a pink-and-purple gown, "You know, something shiny."

"Let me see," Blythe said, looking through the pile next to her. She pulled out a dark purple dress with reflective gray stuff in patches here and there, "Like this one?"

"That's perfect!" Zoe cried happily, quickly changing into it.

"Blythe, come out here!" Mrs. Twombly called the girl, "There's a new pet today!"

"Oh, be right back, guys," Blythe said, standing up and heading out to the main lobby.

"Ooh, a new pet," Sunil said, "I wonder who it will be."

"Hey, maybe they'll like jokes!" Pepper said, "I've been trying out this new- WOAH!"

Suddenly, Pepper slipped on a nearby orange peel, falling off the stage thing by the window. The others laughed, except for Russell, who rushed over to make sure Pepper was alright.

Out front…

"Blythe, this is Flora," Mrs. Twombly said, showing Blythe a cute black-and-white skunk in her arms.

"Oh hello Flora," Blythe said, taking the skunk into her own arms, "It smells like you're wearing perfume. I'll just take her into the day camp and introduce her."

Blythe carried Flora into the day camp and set her down.

"Pets, we have a new camper with us today," Blythe said, "Her name is Flora."

"Hi Flora!" The pets chimed together.

"Oh great, another skunk," Vinnie complained quietly. He pulled out a clothes pin and clamped it on his nose.

"Hey y'all," Flora greeted. She had a pretty, southern accent, "It's mighty lovely to meet ya. How's y'all doing?"

"Hello Flora, and welcome to the day camp," Russell greeted, "It's great to have you here today."

Penny Ling sniffed the air.

"Hmm, what's that lovely perfume you're wearing?" She asked.

"Oh, this ol' thing?" Flora asked bashfully, "It's nothin' much. I was just rolling 'round my owner's flower garden 'fore we left. I absolutely adore the scent of the tulips and roses."

"Well I must say it's very nice," Penny Ling said, "I like it."

"Aw shucks, yer makin' me go red," Flora blushed and smiled, "Is there anythin' to eat 'round here? I'm mighty hungry."

"Oh course, right this way," Russell led Flora to the food dispensers, "I'd be glad to give you a tour if you'd like."

"I'm sure I'll find e'erything in due time," Flora responded after swallowing a bit of kibble, "But if I need help, I'll be sure to call fer ya."

"Ok, I'll let you explore then. And if you need anything, just call for Russell," Russell said, "That's me." He headed back over to the toys, "Guys, I told you to stop messing with the toys!"

Sunil and Vinnie exploded into laughter and ran off, having just mixed up the toys once more. Flora looked around. Something didn't quite feel right to her.

"Oh Russell darling!" Flora called. Russell came over, "I am afraid I do require some help."

"Anything, what may I assist you with?" Russell asked.

"Well you see, I was just wonderin' whether you gots any scented candles or other," Flora said, "Y'see, my owner has these lovely scented candles sent up in e'ery room, and I've grown mighty keen to the smells."

"Well, I sure I can find you something," Russell said, "What type of candles do you like?"

"Oh, same ol' ones you'd find anywhere," Flora said, "Citrus, flower, pun'kin. But mah favorite scent is cinnamon. It's such a lovely smell and it reminds me of the cinnamon cookies mah owner would cook up."

"Well, I'm sure I can find some of those," Russell smiled, "I'll go ask Blythe if she has any."

Russell walked off to find Blythe.

"Thank you kindly!" Flora called sweetly.

"Hey Flora!" Pepper greeted, "I'm Pepper! So, another skunk, huh? Well, why don't I show you around? Us skunks gotta stick together. You know what I mean?"

"Yes, I do, but I don't need a tour," Flora said, "I'm fine lookin' 'round on my own. Thank you for the offer though."

"Oh, ok," Pepper said, "But can I show you some of my jokes? I've been working on them."

"I'd love to hear 'em," Flora smiled.

"Ok, here goes," Pepper chuckled, "Wanna hear my impression of a procrastinator?"

"Sure," Flora said.

"Nevermind, I'll tell you later!" Pepper said, laughing. Flora giggled.

"I get it," She said, "Bravo."

"Ok ok, here's another, "What do you get when you mix a fly, a car, and a pet? A flying car-pet! Get it?"

"I do!" Flora giggled, "That one's funny as well."

Just then, the day camp door opened. Blythe stepped in carrying a few different scented candles. Russell was by her feet.

"Oh Flora, I have some scented candles for you!" Blythe called.

"Oh, thank you," Flora said, walking over, "What do's you have? Wait, don't tell me! Lemme guess!"

Blythe set the candles on the floor and lit one. Flora sniffed it and sighed happily.

"Apple pie, such a Heavenly scent," She said. Blythe lit another, "Is that orange? Mah owner has an orange tree in her backyard."

"Glad you like them, Flora," Blythe smiled, "Oh, I have one more." Blythe pulled a small candle out of her pocket, "I found it in my room. The text got smudged, so I'm not sure what it is."

"I'll be able to tell," Flora said. Blythe lit the candle and Flora smelled it, "Smells like…*sniff sniff* strawberry and banana."

Hey yeah, I think that's it," Blythe said after sniffing it herself, "You got some nose, Flora."

"Aw shucks, it ain't anythin' special," Flora smiled, "Ah just love pretty smells. One day Imma own my own little ol' flower shop for pets."

"Oh, that sounds nice," Sunil said.

"Hey Flora, mind if I paint your portrait?" Minka asked, "That way we won't ever forget you!"

"I suppose that's fine," Flora said, "Where should I sit?"

"Right there!" Minka said, starting to paint. Unfortunately, the paint splattered everywhere. The other pets were used to it by now, but Flora didn't seem too alright with it.

"Oh my, what a mess!" Flora cried, "It'll take ages to get all this paint out mah fur!"

"Don't worry Flora, I'll clean you up," Blythe said, picking up the black-and-white skunk. She took her to the pet bath in the back.

"Oh, now look what you've done, Minka!" Russell said, "You made a mess AND made Flora feel uncomfortable!"

"Sorry Russell," Minka said, "I'll clean it up!"

At the end of the day, Flora's owner came to pick her up.

"Well, that was a fun day," Russell said.

"It certainly was," Sunil agreed.

"Yeah!" The other pets said happily.
