At age sixteen, Blythe Baxter and her father, Roger Baxter, started a new life in Downtown City. There, her life changed the lives of others forever. She met some rather interesting new friends; both big and small, bare and furry. Blythe made some enemies, but they weren't enough to get her down. She pursued her dream of becoming a clothes designer all throughout High School until the age of eighteen, when she graduated and got accepted into the French fashion university, Esmod.
But she did not forget her friends.
They maintained contact through webcam chats, postcards and phone calls in the like. But between her maturing social life, family and work, Blythe struggled to maintain a healthy relationship with her pet shop friends. Recording video diaries and mailing them to Blythe became more frequent as time grew.
Summer quickly became Blythe's only free time, and she spent it at home with the pets. These visits were relished and well-spent, as if every moment might be their last.
Sadly, it eventually came to that.
At the age of twenty-three, Blythe found her significant other. At the age of twenty-four, she started a family. At the age of twenty-five, the 'Littlest Pet Shop' closed forever. Her busy life made it impossible to come home right away, and it wasn't until she actually got home that she realized the severity of the situation, and how the pet shop ended through such tragic and unforeseen events.
At the age of twenty-six, Blythe Baxter returned to Downtown City for the first time in six years. There, her father had all of the videos the pets made burned into a single disc. With great haste, Blythe rushed to the hotel her family was staying at and inserted the disc into her laptop.
A red dot appeared in the upper-right hand corner of the screen, beside the word 'REC'. A symbol of a half-full battery appeared below it. On the opposite side to the battery, a timer starting at zero began its numerical ascent. For the first seven seconds, the picture was static; it eventually clarified into the curvaceous form of Zoe Trent. Or rather, the lower half of her body.
"Russell? Hon?" she asked with a needy whine to her voice. "Could you be so kind as to help me with this camera?"
"It's on, Zoe," he answered, monotonously.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"How can you tell?"
"...Because I was the one who turned it on?"
Zoe's tail began wagging with enthusiasm. "That's right!" she proclaimed. The canine dropped to all fours, facing the camera. A giddy smile was plastered onto her face; glee seemed to emanate from her vibrant blue eyes. "Blythe! How are you?"
"Look, guys!" yelled Vinnie, hidden out of frame, "Zoe thinks that camera is Blythe! She finally lost it!"
Zoe's face grew the brightest shade of red, her once joy-filled face contorted into that of anger; she reached behind the camera and pulled out a squeaky hamburger, which she pelted at the off-screen gecko. A hollow 'thunk' was heard, quickly followed by a pleading, "Hey, cut it out! I'm joshin' ya!"
Zoe dropped the next projectile in her arsenal, a squeaky hammer, and returned her attention to the camera. "As you can see," she said, "Things are about as normal as ever, here in 'Littlest Pet Shop'."
A small chuckle resonated from the pooch. "Anyways, I just wanted to ask how 'F.U.N.' is. I hope you're having a good time right now," she placed a paw on the left side of her mouth, quickly leaned towards the camera and whispered, "because I sure as sugar am not! Pepper has been feeling a bit 'under the weather' for the past few days or so. Why? I'll tell you why! Because the Duke of Doofuses himself, Vinnie Terrio, dared her to eat this moldy half-eaten sandwich he got from the dumpster."
"He said he'd call her a 'girly-girl' for the next one-hundred years if she didn't eat it, and well... you can tell what happened from there." Zoe inhaled deeply through her nose, and then exhaled. "Of course, proper punishment was distributed so Vinnie wouldn't try anything like that in the future."
As if on cue, Vinnie was seen crossing the background behind Zoe in a full-body cast and wheelchair, which was being pushed by Sunil.
"It's nothing you should worry about, though. Just another cah-razy day in 'Littlest Pet Shop'. I hope to hear from you soon! Buh-bye, Blythe!"
The picture made an abrupt cut to black, and then became static, making its transition to the next video.
