The new dog wasn't the only ones behind Rikki. Two rather buff male red pandas with two cross bows each had slipped their way behind the two.

"I TOLD you she moved fast," one said to the other. The other shushed his companion.

"Morning ma'am, complimentary escorts on duty," the other said to Rikki.

Two new dogs in one day! Valiant's tail started wagging crazy despite his best effort to impose it some discipline. He touched the brim of his hat, formally, to both the female spaniel and the GSD. "Sir. Ma'm--" and then, again, the ferret interrupted him.
"Hi both! I am Rikki Leone and this is Valiant. Very pleased. And we don't bite, handsome," she added to the GSD with a toothy grin.
Valiant felt his ears burning. "So, uh, how do you like our neighborhood so far?" He mentally facepawlmed the moment he asked -talk about clumsy!
"What my friend wanted to ask first was: What's your nam--" and this time it was her turn to get startled again as she recognized the pandas. "An escort, all for me? Eat your heart out, Val."
Valiant just shrugged. "Wait until I'll have a whole pack around, 'princess'."

"No, never me' 'im. I'm new, 'ere, innit? Mornin', guvnas. Me name's Christine Martin, or Christamundo bu' mos' people jus' call me Chris." Flipping the dice to her off paw she holds her favourite paw out for a shake, addressing the pandas mid-monologue without missing a beat.

He lifted his hat up a bit. The shepherd's ears twitched a bit from the comment. Underneath the caramel fur, you could the slightest hue of red. "Um...T-thanks."[/color.] He replied. "I actually dont hear that much. My name is Trenton by th-"

He quickly turned around and saw the Panda's with crossbow. He yelled and quickly ran behind Valiant. "I'll take the lesser of two evils!" He thought.

"Why in the H.E. double hockey sticks are they armed!!" He shouted. He gave a tiny glare at them. "Are you even licensed to use those?!?"

Valiant turned to Trenton, making sure of standing between him and the pandas. "Trenton, these are two members of a tribe living by the woodlands near here. The red pandas came to live here after being kidnapped by poachers. I assure you that they can be really friendly once they warmed up. As for the 'escort' thing you heard about, well, my friend Rikki is dating the prince of that tribe, and apparently that also grants her the benefit of an escort. As for us, we work with the local police force: Rikki is in intelligence, I am patrol duty. Very happy to meet you." Valiant offered his bionic arm for a shake.

"Um, we're escort guards, why would we not?" The obviously younger one said.They had about 4 satchels on their bodies each. Into one which the younger ones hand disappeared into and brought out a small root which he began munching on. He had a yellow neckerchief with one notch cut into in it's upper left corner. The other one sighed and face palmed. Then he addressed Rikki.

"Yes ma'am, top brass orders, but don't worry, we won't interfere in your work unless necessary. Anchuck and I'm Espe'lio." the other said. He had a yellow neckerchief as well, but he had a notch in the upper right corner of his. He on the other hand, completely ignored the shepherd.

Chris' eyes widen. "Tribe? Guards? Prince? Now dat wasn't in th' brochure! It's a pleasure, guvnas."

Trent looked at Valiant as he began to assess the information in his head. Inter-species relationship aren't unplausible. He's read about the monarchic society of Ferals, so again, it wasn't farfetched. Trent felt at bit more at ease when Valiant statement of his being on the police force. He grabbed Valiant's paw to shake. He adjusted his glasses for a moment. "Whoa." He started to feel up and down the canine's arm. Yet, he quickly snatched his paws back. "Lo siento. Sorry I didn't mean to be rude. Nerdy habits."

Valiant's tail started wagging again. "Nah, it's ok. This stuff was custom-made by the guys at Area 51. It's a prototype for their human troops, I was given one as a favor for saving one of them." He also made some movements, flexing the fingers as well, and they responded like the real thing. "And it comes with a phone too. You into tech?"

Trent jaw went slack. "Wait...Wait...The...no...THE AREA 51?!" He stammered. "¡Muy impresionante! Does it have pressure sensors linked to your nervous system? Can you feel things? Can you get it wet? What other modifications does it have?!" The shepherd's tail was wagging a mile a minute. He words just oozed with enthusiasm. The Shepherd was like a Geek in a hobby shop.

Wiggins watched as the one dog became a larger group of dogs, and now... Pandas!
Wiggins loved pandas. They had this warm feeling about them, but, seeing as they were armed with a cross bow, walking up would be a bit suspicious.
I'm want to make friends! But theres too many dogs! But I want to make friends! Wiggins told himself this, turning his head down the street and back to the group.

Finally, he shakily made his way around the tree again, and, carefully approached the group.
As they got closer, Wiggins felt the growing urge to run, or back flip, then run. So he focused on the collars and non-doggy pets.
H-hello.
A knot grew in his throat and he stood still, waiting for a reaction.

Chris turns to the newcomer. "Mornin'! Name's Chris. Nice t' meetcha." She offers the rabbit her paw.

Valiant was quite happy to answer to someone who could understand -mostly, people just gawked or asked him about UFOs. "Yup. I can feel things, thanks to a fine connection with my nervous system, My sensorial interface is this." His natural finger traced the 'coating' of what looked like very fine mesh. "Carbon nanotubes. They replicate the skin's input. The best thing is, should the input be too strong, the system shuts down so that I won't feel too much pain. And yes, I can get it wet, it has been designed for use in all terrains. As for other modifications, afraid it has not: This thing is already state-of-the-art as it is, there was no space for other implementations.

Rikki looked with admiration at the female. "An actress? What kinds of shows did you work in? And are you in touch with your producers? I mean, the pandas could do a good use of a documentary."

Valiant's body sent all his best friendly signs as he waved to the rabbit -a third new pet! indeed, this was a busy morning, he was happy he had left home early! "Hi there, third new pet! Please, come. We're just introducing ourselves." He gave out his and Rikki's name.

((Sorry I missed my chance to meet up with your pet Neon. I was gone all day from 2'oclock. Greaet.... Now what am I suppose to do.))

"Oh no!" Blay thought to himself. A large group of pets seemed to have been forming nearby. He didn't want to be involved, so he tried to get out of there. But, his Brother would be upset if he didn't join an a social event. Well, I don't have to get to know anyone. I can still hang around, just not get involved." Blay decided, as he started slowly walking over to the crowd.

((Since his owner is pretty young, he refers to him as "Bro", instead of the usual "Dad", or "Mom". I'm going to have to head to bed sooon... :C))

Wiggins almost jumped out of his skin when she turned around.
But, he quickly regained his composure and accepted the paw.
Shes a small dog. Everything is fine, Wigglesworth. he told himself.
My name is Wiggins. W-whats yours? he asked.

Then Wiggins saw the cyber-wolf.
He went stock still and passed out in fear.

It was part o' the reason we came ova 'ere." The dice in Chris' paw have turned into a deck of cards which she shuffles with flawless technique and without even glancing at them but the deck too vanishes into her bg as she jumps forward to catch the unconscious rabbit.

"What' the?!" Blay inner gasped when he saw one of the pets pass out. oKAY! That's it! To interesting! I've got to get out of here!" Blay said as he started running away from the crowd, heading down wherever possible. He did not like it when things got interesting, caused too much intention.

((GOT TO GO!))

Trent couldn't help himself as he rub the mesh-like coating. "Such an ingenius system!" He said. "It even has a safety protocol. Just the amount of time and effort that went into making this tech. Oh...I'm doing it again!!!" Trent began to hear his phone vibrate. He took it out and silence it. "Excuse me." He grabbed the die on his color and it twisted open. He grabbed them pill and popped it in his mouth. "Sorry it was nice to take my medication." He felt a bit embarassed, only Max and Austin knew about that. It felt awkward.

Trenton saw the rabbit and use this opportunity to switch the attention. Though Trent could sense the same anxiety from the rabbit that he experience before meeting the other. So Trent could actually relate. "Um....Hi...Trent is my name. I'm new here as-" Before he could finish he saw the Rabbit pass out. "Oh my..."

Valiant was about to congratulate Chris for her technique, but as soon as he saw Wiggins faint, first thing he went all professional. "Guys, please everybody stand back, he'll be needing some room to breathe." Then from his jacket he produced a vial of ammonia. He used the tiniest whisp, since rabbits reacted strongly to these kind of inputs.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 10:42 am

Wiggins gave off small thumps from his feet as he lays unconscious in the arms of the magician.

Then the scent of a familiar smell came to mind.
D-did I just wet myself? he opened his eyes to see the vial infront of his nose.
oh, good!
Wiggins sat up, not seeing that it was the cyber wolf in front of him.
W-what happened?

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 10:47 am

Valiant put the vial back in the pocket. "You passed out. Too much to process in one time, I guess. i saw it happen sometimes. Welcome to Sunset Plateau all the same. And yes, we all are the good guys. And the girl here is Chris." his snout pointed at the spaniel who was still holding the rabbit.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 10:54 am

Wiggins glanced up at the dog holding him and saw she wasn't too big, so he wasn't scared.
They aren't going to hurt you, Wiggins. he told himself.
Okay. H-hi! I'm Wiggins! he greeted the wolf.

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:03 am

"Glad to meet you, Wiggins. If you need--" At that moment, the air was filled with the short wail of a siren and a police car stopped in front of Leone house.
Valiant's tail went into overdrive, this time. "Well, our ride is here at last." He addressed Trenton one last time. "Listen, I'll be back home at 7pm though, If we're lucky, I'll meet you again today during my patrol shift. Any case, wanna come to my place tonight? Mom will be delighted to cook some real Italian food for you."

In the meantime, Rikki addressed her escort. "As for you guys, come with me in the backseat. And fasten your seatbelts, that's mandatory." She waved to the other pets. "See you tonight, Trent, hopefully. And whoever wanted to join."

Trenton coughed a bit. It was surprised to be invited to someone's house that quickly. "Hehe, um...I....Sure!" He stammered a bit. "I really didn't have that many friends back in the city." He smiled a bit. "Heck, i did't really have any acquaintances, really. I don't mind coming!" Suddenly an idea popped into his head. "Um, anyone there allergic to peanuts? Austin and I can make some and I'll bring them over. They're really good!"

"Sorry a bit over excited." He stated He cleared his throat. "Great way to embarrass yourself already, Trent." Yet again his mind taunted him. "What I meant to say was Austin, my owner, and I love making baked goods. So I meant to say Peanut Butter Cookies. We actually make them from scratch." He gave a laugh. It was to put a mask on his anxiety. "But if you want Peanuts, I can bring those as well, if you're going to Rikki's and Valiant's." "You idiot, you forgot to ask Valiant where they lived." "Oh Valiant! Um can I get your number or your address. I'm new here remember. Heh..."

「Crud, meant to get that out before they left.」

"We live right here, boy," an old man's voice said from the porch.
The homehowner and his wife were standing there, smiling at the assorted group of animals. "Elio and Cinzia Leone. Very pleased...Trenton, right? And Wiggins, and Chris."

Will's eyes snapped open as the last bits of sleep left him. He got up and looked out the window, and sighed. It is beautiful out, he thought to himself. Maybe today he could go out finally...

The mink's thoughts went to his uncle Paige, who had went off to space camp two days ago. Paige had made Will promise that he would go outside on his own a bit while his uncle was gone, but so far, he hadn't been able too.

No, he decided. I won't hide anymore. I am not letting another day go to waste. Far to many of them have for me already. He rushed towards the bathroom, taking care of his hygienic needs, and quickly headed towards the front door. This is it, he mused, as he opened the door and let in more sunlight. I'm finally outside by myself.

As he shut the door, he didn't notice the older man looking from the hallway, smiling as Will made this huge leap in his life.

Trent is also fine with me as well. I actually live right by the Park my self. In the L-shaped house." He pointed down the street. Austin and Max were still unpacking the U-Haul.

He didn't know how dogs and cats would react to each other. The more he thought about it he realized that there had been a cornucopia of animals in Sunset Plateau. "Heya..."
