*Something Beyond Friendship*
- Afternoon and Reaching Questionable Destinations
Skipper was had been asleep when he felt the truck jerk to stop. He immediatly jumped up into a fighting stance and then heard voices talking. He listened closely so he could learn where they were. He prayed to God it wasn't Hoboken the had arrived at.
The voices were muffled by the boxes but he was able to make out what they were saying.
"So these are the animals from the Big Apple then."
"Yep! Well actually the otter is origonally from this state."
'Marlene lives in this state. Sooo...we must be in California!' Skipper's thoughts were confirmed when he smelled the air. Salt water. They were definatly near the ocean and Marlene was from
California.
"Marlene wake-up!" Skipper pounded agianst the side of his crate trying to wake-up the otter in the crate next to him.
"Hmmmm...Skipper we there yet?"
"Yep and you'll never guess where we are."
"Skipper seriously wher-wait," he heard her sniff the air,"California! We're in California! We are in California!" She got really hyper and exited when she found out where they were. Skipper chuckled at
how 'cute and naive' she was being. "All right. All right. Marlene calm down." She was beginning to babble now. Most of it was incoherent and all he heard was the following: . Or at least that's what it
sounded like to him.
Then they heard the back of the truck opening. Both were quiet.
"Lucky animals these two are spending a month in the city that makes and breaks dreams."
"You're right. 'Sides the sea air here is much better for 'em then the smog of the Bid Apple." They laughed at this.
Then their crates are picked up.
What did you think? Again forgive the shortness! Feel free to point out mistakes. Makes me a better writer. R&R.
