I walked into the apartment building, greeting Marie, who was sitting behind the front desk.

"Good to see you again Lein, are you having a good day?"

I chuckled.

"As good of a day that someone like me can have, Marie."

She gave me a smile of pity and put down what the papers she was writing on.

"I really can't imagine what it must be like, it seems so lonely, but hey! I'm always here if you need someone to talk to!" I smiled back.

"Thanks, I appreciate it,"

As I said that I heard the door open, both Marie and I looked over.

"Well, son of a gun!" I exclaimed.

It was the rabbit, from class. "You're the one who kicked all of our asses in class!" She looked at me quizzically for a second, seeming surprised by the vulgarity at first, but soon recognized me.

"Oh! Hey! You're..."

She hesitated for a moment and put her paw on her chin, thinking. Suddenly, she snapped and pointed at me,

"Lein, right? You were the human in training!"

I was slightly surprised that she knew my name. I didn't even have a clue of what her name was.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry, I don't think that I ever got your name, please forgive me," I said and smiled, embarrassed. Now I really am an asshole, she never spoke to me and still knows my name somehow!

"Don't worry about it, I'm Judy, Judy Hopps!"

She reached for a handshake.

"Oh, how polite, " I grabbed her paw and shook it. "It's a pleasure to meet you!" I pretty much had to crouch to reach, but I didn't mind. "You two know each other?" Marie asked.

"We trained in the same class." Judy responded, and looked at me "I suppose we'll be working together too."

Huh, what a coincidence.

"Yeah, you're right! I guess fate has caused us to meet! If you're the type to believe that sort of thing."

Marie laughed, "Don't tell me you actually believe that stuff, Lein."

I looked at her and sighed. I was slightly peeved but she didn't seem to want mean offense.

"I was raised on that kind of stuff Marie, I can't really help it."

She laughed, "I'm just pulling your leg Lein, don't worry."

As Marie and Judy continued to chat, I checked the clock on the wall behind the desk. Crap, it was already nine thirty? It was late, and work began tomorrow!

"Hey uh, as much as I'd like to talk to you guys some more, I got to get to bed, see you two later!"

I stepped away and made my way to the apartment.
