However, I will definitely update as quickly as I possibly can!

It had been very unexpected when a squirrel darted in front of the car about five minutes into the lesson. Shion had screamed, worried that he might have hurt the small creature, but it ran into the bushes on the other side of the road a moment later. This was just the beginning, however; several more squirrels ran by minutes after this event. Fortunately, they were far enough ahead of the car that Shion had time to hit the brake.

Then they found some birds standing in the middle of the road. Shion had to quickly move to a different lane since the birds didn't seem to have any intention of moving.

"What's with all the animals today?" Rikiga asked as an opossum wandered into the street. "Wow, I've never even seen one of those before..."

"Yeah, this is strange," agreed Inukashi, before shrieking, "LOOK OUT!" A puppy had just run in front of the car, chasing a butterfly. Shion quickly stopped the car, and Inukashi jumped out to see if it was okay. After ensuring the puppy hadn't been hit by the car, Inukashi carried it back to the sidewalk it had been on before and then returned to the car.

A cat, lizard, and another bird also darted in front of the car, leaving the four friends wondering what was going on.

The worst part was when they passed by a pond. A whole flock of geese was on the road. There was only one lane, so Shion couldn't go around them, and the geese didn't appear to be planning to move any time soon.

"Now this is just ridiculous." Rikiga stated, growing impatient, after waiting for several minutes.

Nezumi sighed, "I'm sure they'll move eventually."

"Sure, but if they don't move soon I'll miss my show!" complained Rikiga, causing Nezumi to roll his eyes.

Inukashi smirked, "Why don't you just ask them to leave, then?"

"Would that work?" Shion spoke up.

After a few more minutes of staring anxiously at the clock in the car, Rikiga decided it was worth a shot. Approaching the geese, he said, "Excuse me, would you mind- AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Before running away as the geese started chasing him.

When he returned to the car, out of breath, and closed the door hurriedly, shouting at Shion to hurry up and get out of there, Inukashi was laughing once again. "I can't believe you actually did that!" she told him between bouts of laughter.

"Hey, it worked, didn't it? You got them to move," Nezumi said, making Inukashi laugh even more.

Rikiga glared at both of them for the next ten minutes, until Shion hit the brake suddenly. "I-is the racoon okay?"
