"Good night sir. Enjoy your coffee!" Xhen waved happily as the last and final customer of the night strolled out of the coffee shop with a grin. Wiping her hands on her apron after she untied the straps and placed it on the hook, Obachan smiled at her and handed the mixed race female an envelope of cash. 

"Here you go sweet heart. It's your paycheck. You did a good job this week!"

Xhen's face lit up as she accepted her money and bowed her head slightly. "Thank you so much Oba," she replied before wiping up the counters and heading for the exit. She took a quick glance at her advertisement on the way out and noticed that a couple paper strips of her cell number was torn from the bottom. [i]Oh, I'm sure I'll get a reply soon![/i] Breathing in the crisp night air of Darkwell, she looked up at the moonlit sky blanketed in stars and twinkling lights. Suddenly a shooting star soared through her line of vision... or at least she thought it was. Actually, it was Whitney in her true form, but Xhen didn't know that. Clasping her eyes shut, she quickly made a wish and headed for Queen's apartment up the sidewalk. 

Passing by the city bus stop, a box had been left underneath the waiting bench. Upon closer inspection, Xhen noticed that it said [b]FREE PUPPY[/b]. A short gasp escaped her lips as she heard a whimper. Eyes softening as she approached, another crying yelp erupted out of the cardboard container as Xhen kneeled by the seat and peeked in.

An excited squeal burst from the top of Xhen's throat as she reached down and picked up the small pup. "Aren't you just the cutest little thing? I guess I'm taking you home huh?" The dark haired girl giggled a bit when the tiny dog licked the tip of her nose. Standing back up with her new companion snuggled in her arms, Xhen sighed pleasantly as she felt the tiny creature's heartbeat against her chest. 

"This is your new home bud," She told her doggy as she entered her apartment and placed the pup down on the hardwood floor. Filling a bowl with water and grabbing a slice of cooked but cold bacon from the fridge, she beckoned the dog back and fed it some food. "Hmm, what should I call you?" The dark haired girl wondered aloud. Her brain was so fried nothing came to mind. "I guess I'll be calling you just Puppy for now," Xhen mumbled in defeat as she petted it's little head.

Picking Puppy up, she decided to enjoy the fresh night-time on the rooftop of the apartment building. Xhen leaned on the ledge as she observed in awe at the sparkling lights of the city. "Do you see this Puppy? It's beautiful!" Seeming to understand what she said, the canine barked joyfully in response. After a few minutes, it started to whimper and Xhen's brows furrowed in confusion. "What's wrong bud? Do you see something?" Squinting at another building just a few blocks over, she noticed a familiar red head. "Oh my gosh... i-is that Nova?" She whispered in shock. Her pupils continuing to trail the rooftop, there were two other figures up there as well: a purple beast and a dragon? Xhen slapped at her cheek lightly to try and wake herself. [i]There is no freakin' way![/i] Realizing that her friend was in danger, Xhen sprinted back to her apartment to drop off Puppy. "Stay here and behave ok? I've got to go save my friend!"

Rushing out of the apartment complex, Xhen darted down the streets of Darkwell toward the correct location. Checking if the coast was clear, Xhen exhaled deeply and morphed her features. Nine white tails sprouted from her lower back and black fox ears popped up on the crown of her head. She'd done this just last week and had been working on it in the safety of her home ever since. "Here goes nothing," she muttered before latching onto a drainage pipe and scaling the side of the building onto the rooftop. "Nova!" Xhen called as she ran to the red head's side. "Please don't be afraid, I'm here to help you," she explained, hoping that her new friend wouldn't be scared of her. Besides, the purple dude and the giant dragon were more intimidating than her at this point.
