Then Randilyn came out with the patties, on buns, on a plate. "I didn't know if you wanted anything on it so I left it plain" Randilyn told Halyn, handing her her patty. "It's just as good plain" Halyn said grabbing her patty and bitting into it. "Do you want to watch a movie?" Candace asked. Halyn shook in her head yes. Candace put her patty sandwhich down and went to where they had dvd's. She picked out a movie. "Have you ever heard 'Rent'?" she asked. "At my old job I had to dance to a dance that was in the movie. The one with Mimi at her job with the other strippers working at the Cat Scratch" Halyn informed. Candace went over to the DVD player above teh tv and put the disk in and pressed play. She sat back down and they watched the movie.

The opening credits showed, then the first song came on, Seasons of Love. "I just love this song" Halyn said. When the people started to sing, so did Halyn.

525,600 minutes

525,000 moments so dear

525,600 minutes

how do you measure, measure a year?

in daylights, in sunsets

in midnights and cups of coffee

in inches, in miles

in laughter and strife

in 525,600 minutes

how do you measure

a year in a life

how about love

how about love

how about love

measure in love

seasons of love

seasons of love

The song went on, and Halyn's new friends just starred at her as she sung. Then the high part of the song came. Orenda, Randilyn, and Candace all watched to see if Halyn could pull it off.

measure, measure your life in love

seasons of love

seasons of love

measure you life in love

measure your life

measure your life in love

The song ended and Halyn then noticed she was just singing. Her face flushed, then blushed. Her friends starred, the clapped. Orenda tried to speak but Halyn cut her off. "Don't try to speak Orenda. Let's just watch the movie." So they stopped clapping and watched the movie.

Later into the movie, something came out of one of the rooms. Halyn only saw a shadow of it. But her friends didn't see anything. They just kept their eyes on the tv screen. Then, all of a sudden, the shadow came closer to Halyn and jumped on her. Halyn let out a small yelp of suprise. Then she felt a warm tongue on her face, a tail wagging, and paws on her chest and stomach. Halyn laughed and her friends looked over at her. "You have a dog?" Halyn questioned. "Yeah. I'm a total animal lover" Orenda said. Randilyn paused the movie and turned on the lights. Halyn saw a poofy dog ontop of her with it's tongue hanging out of it's mouth, looking so adorable. "Aw! He's cute! Is it a he?" Halyn asked with a funny look on her face, not wanting to look down. "He is a she. Her name is Avita. She's an Akita. Guess where I got the name?" Orenda asked with a hint of sarcasim in her voice. Avita got off of Halyn and laid on the couch beside her and put her head in her lap. Halyn stroked her head and laughed at Orenda's sarcasim. "You named her after the yappy dog in 'Rent'" Halyn said. Then Candace got off of the couch and into another room. "Since you have met Avita, you might want to meet her friend." Then Candace came out with a black spotted puppy in her arms. "THIS is a he. His name is Pongo" Candace said, ephasizing the word this, while still holding the pup in her hands. When Avita saw Pongo, she got off the couch and jumped up and down, wanting to play with him. Candace went over to Halyn and sat down next to her. Halyn just had to pet him. Candace placed Pongo in Halyn's lap. Pongo wanted to climb up to Halyn's face and lick it just like Avita did. Then Candace took Pongo and put him on the ground to play with Avita. "Wow, she's not too rough with him" Halyn said suprised. Then in walked a black cat with pure green eyes like Halyn's. "And in walkes the little brat" Randilyn said walked over to the cat and picking her up. "Now this" randilyn started. "This is Nox" Randilyn said. "Nox?" Halyn asked. "It means night blooming flower" the mermaid said. "Well, now that you have met all of the animals, let's go on with the movie" Orenda said picking up with remote, turning off the lights again and pressing the play button.
