Chapter 1
Gwen's POV
I was on the my laptop and Ash was curled up next to me. "What are doing Gwen-san?" Ash meowed. Ash always added 'san' to the end of my name I've gotten so used to it, it would seem weird if she didn't. Apparently 'san' means friend. She calls grandpa 'Grandpa Max-chan' and my favorite is Ben-mouse-brain for my cousin. "I'm looking up some transformation spells."
Ash shot up "You're not going to turn me into a human are you Gwen-san?! I trusted you!"
"Oh please turn Ash into a human." Ben chimed in. Across from me was my doofus cousin playing his Sumo Slammers video game. "Why would I do that?"
"Umm because humans don't have claws, humans don't have fangs, and the best one yet humans can't control electricity!"
"And yet most humans I've seen don't have a watch that can turn them into different aliens. Besides you're just mad because I electrocuted you when you got out of the swimming pool, but that's what you get when you doused me with a water balloon while I was warming my scales in the sun." Ash growled
"Calm down back there." Grandpa called from the driver's seat.
"sorry." We all called back
"Besides I like Ash the way she is."
"Arigato and you too Gwen-san."
Eventually we pulled into an empty parking lot. Getting out of the RV there were wooden buildings a couple blocks down that looked like they were built somewhere in the 1900s, but were still in business. "Where are we Grandpa?" I asked.
"It was Ash's turn to choose where we went next." Ash looked up at me. "You'll see tomorrow Gwen-san." Knowing Ash I hoped it wasn't anything illegal. "Until then why don't we look around." Grandpa chimed in. As if on cue Ash jumped on my shoulder and hung on. She does walk with us, but occasionally she rides on my shoulder. I heard an explosion a building not too far away caught fire. Ash's fur bristled. She jumped off my shoulder and ran towards the building. "Ash come back!" I yell running after her. "Gwen wait" I hear my Grandpa. Don't worry Ash will protect me. She won't let anything happen to me, right?
