It was a beautiful day at the Littlest Pet Shop. A girl with straight dark brown hair and brown the same age as Blythe came into the shop with a carrier.
"Welcome to Littlest Pet Shop," Mrs. Twombly said.
"Hi. I'm new here and I'm going to drop off my pet for day camp everyday," she said in a sweet, gentle and quiet voice.
"Oh. That's great. The pets will be so happy to have a new camper joining them everyday," Mrs. Twombly said.
Blythe came into the shop and saw the new customer.
"Blythe! This sweet girl said that we're going to have a new daily camper joining us everyday! Isn't that great!," Mrs. Twombly said excited.
"That's so cool!," Blythe said.
The girl opened the pick pet carrier, reached in and took out her pet. A black cat with white fur around his nose and mouth in an oval styled shape, on his chest and middle with black fur on the sides, his inner ears, and the front of his paws, the part of his paws that were positioned to hit the floor, or any other surface. He looked timid and his ears were drawn back but his owner scratched him on top of his head that had a bushy tuft on it and he purred.
"His name's Clockwork,"
"He is so cute! I'll take him to the day camp area," Blythe said.
The girl handed him Clockwork.
"Alright I have to go now. You be good," the girl said.
The cat meowed.
Blythe took Clockwork to the back.
"Hi everyone. We have a new daily camper that's going to be joining us everyday. His name is Clockwork," Blythe said.
She turned the cat to her.
"Hi. My name is Blythe. You're gonna have a great time here," Blythe said.
"Um…. Thank," the cat said.
His voice was gentle and quiet and soft the same kind she had heard in swan lake though a bit scratchy and a bit high.
"Aw! You are so cute! Alright why don't you have fun with the other pets?," Blythe said.
Clockwork nodded, smiling.
Blythe bent down and started lowering him to the ground. He seemed timid but he was terrified as soon as he saw Zoe. His fear stood up and he meowed loudly and in fear. She climbed up Blythe and and clings onto her shirt shaking.
"D.. Dog!," he cried.
"Oh. That's just Zoe. She's really friendly, I promise,"
Clockwork perked up in confusion.
"Huh? You can understand me?," he asked.
"Ya. I sorta have a talent for it. But I promise Zoe's safe," she reassured him.
"Okay. If you say so," Clockwork said still a bit unsure.
Blythe put him down and then bent down and whispered to the other pets.
"Could you guys please take it easy on him? Just until he gets conformable with you,"
"Of course we can Blythe," Russell said.
Zoe was turning away from the group insulted by the cat's reaction and huffed with her nose up and eyes closed.
"Don't take it personally Zoe. He is a cat after all," Blythe told her sympathetically.
She walked over to the dumb waiter. If you need me I'll be in my room," Blythe told the pets then she slid the door shut and went up to her room.
