Story opens Miguel walking into his office. He has a smile on his face, which as anyone who knows him is very rare. A pink cat in a lime green miniskirt and matching go-go boots walks in, her name is Feline Groovy. Groovy sees this and handles thing in her usual calm manner.

Groovy: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES HE'S FINALLY FLIPPED!!!!

Miguel: Groovy..[eyes narrow as he glares at her] I'm fine. [walks to his desk and sits] Geez.

Groovy: But.. you're smiling.. you rarely do that.. as mentioned in the caption a while ago.

Miguel: Well you see..[thinks for a second and nothing comes to him] aw I don't know[boots up his computer] I just have a feeling about today.. something's gonna happen.. something good for a change.

Groovy: FUNKY GET IN HERE!! MIGUEL'S FINALLY LOST IT!!

In enters Funky, a cat similar to Groovy in height, with the exception that she is purple and has a blue skirt and an orange vest on with platform shoes on, sans her headphones. She is tying her left pigtail as she walks in.

Funky: This had better be important!!!

Miguel:[ sweating] Nothing's wrong Delia, Groovy is just freaking at hearing me be positive for once.

Funky:[sweating] Oh my god she's right!!! QUICK SOMEONE GET THE TAZERS!!!!

Miguel: [face hits his keyboard] I'M FINE!!!

Funky: Okay.. but if you start to hear voices.. let us know.

Miguel: You mean besides that of characters I made up and only exist in my head?

Funky: No he's fine… he's still sarcastic as ever.[walks off]

Groovy: Miguel.. please don't lose your marbles.. we'll be so lost without you.[kisses him on the cheek then leaves]

Miguel: Thanks now I feel almost important.

Miguel sighs and looks at his computer screen. He then reaches and opens the top drawer of his desk and pulls out a picture frame. He looks at the picture of Sabrina, which he cherishes above all else.

Miguel: Hey there cutie, I need a bit of cheer. Maybe I.[notices Groovy sneaking up on him with a net] GROOVY!! I'm spending a bit of QT with the picture.. I ALWAYS DO THAT!!!

Groovy: Yeah.. but it's still insane behavior.

Miguel: That's it!!!! [he puts the picture back and then storms out of the room] I'm going out!!!

The scene changes o the hall as Miguel makes his way to the door, he's dragging Groovy, who is latched on to his leg.

Groovy: PLEASE… don't go!! We need you here!!!

Miguel:[trying to walk down the hall] I need to go out!! I can't stand any of you right now!!!

Reiko: [walks in] Hey Miguel! Is it okay if I miss today? Me and Tatsu are going to go catch the Dragons game this afternoon.

There, watching them, is a human girl Miguel's height. She has reddish-brown hair which is tied back with a big bow which gently rests atop her head, She is decked out in her standard attire of leggings and a hockey jersey that says Dragons, and the number 88 on it.

Miguel: Have fun.

Groovy: Um hi.[looks up at Reiko] I bet your wondering what I'm doing having Miguel drag me around like this?

Reiko: No not really. Later you two. [skips off]

Miguel: Get off my leg Groovy!!

Groovy: NO!!! You can't leave us!!!

Miguel: I'll come back.. geez.

Groovy: NO!!!

Miguel: I'll bring you back one of those cute Hello Kitty toys McDonald's is giving.

Groovy:[sniffs then wipes her eyes] Okay.. but I want the watch.

Miguel: Fine.. tell Funky she's in charge till I get back.[walks up the steps]

Groovy: K.. and bring back some kitty litter!!!

Miguel: Will do.

Miguel takes a deep breath then opens the door. A huge blinding light pours in from the door. Miguel steps outside and rubs his eyes. He breathes in the air and then smiles. Suddenly he coughs uncontrollably. He walks off towards the sun. Meanwhile on the other side of town, someone else has decided to go out into the world today. A young female skunk leaves the safety of her apartment. She has white hair.. kinda short and a pair of specs resting gently on her face. She has a blue long-sleeve shirt on and has them rolled up to her elbows. She takes a deep breath, holding a book to her chest and she makes her way to the park. She passes by a small occult bookshop, she doesn't look towards it till a girl waves at her.

Astral: HEY YOU THERE!!! [Sabrina looks at her] The one with no pants!!!

Sabrina glares at her. The girl is a magenta colored cat. Her hair has blue and yellow streaks in it with a few braids as well. She's dresses in a shirt with LONG sleeves, her hands seem invisible under them. She also is wearing LARGE bellbottom jeans. Her name is Astral, and her parents own this bookstore. Sabrina sighs and walks over to her.

Sabrina: May I help you?

Astral: No.. but I can help you. On your way to the park are we Sabrina?

Sabrina: Huh?[taken back a bit] How do you know my name.. and where I'm going?

Astral: Would you believe me that during my morning tarot card reading you popped into my head? You're going to have a crossing today. Your life is going to change today.. be cautious, right now things could go either way.

Sabrina: [eyes narrow] Sorry I don't believe in all that magic stuff.

Astral: No but you believe in robots changing into stuff huh? Well then.. let's see if it's just all "made up" shall we? HEY EVERYONE!!![everyone turns to look at her] SABRINA HERE HAS A CRUSH ON A TOY ROBOT NAMED SILVERBOLT!!!!

Sabrina: [freaks] GAAAAH!![she tackles Astral and covers her mouth. She then sees everyone staring at them]Um.. eh heh.[gets up and dusts herself off] Don't listen to her.. she's one of those "occult" people. [everyone goes back to their lives and goes on about their business] How do you know all this?!

Astral: [dusting herself off] I already told you Sabrina. Now listen, you'll meet someone today.. he's going to cause a MAJOR transition in your life. However I could not tell how things will turn out.. the future is uncertain and always changing so the far future is always hard to foresee. Here take this..[hands her a tarot card]

Sabrina: [looks at it] The Sun?

Astral: Yup.. the guy you will meet is the Moon.. this card will lead you to him at some point.. and will lead you back to him.. later on.

Sabrina: Well I could use a good book mark I guess.[puts it in her book] Thanks.. I guess.

Astral: Don't thank me.. I just put you on the right path.. later it will be up to you which path you take when the road forks at the end. Later.[walks back into her store]

Sabrina: That was so odd.[plays with her hair nervously]

Sabrina walks off as the scene changes to the park. She finds a nice spot among some clovers. She sits down and sighs. She opens her book and looks at the tarot card. She laughs and puts it down next to her as she goes about her reading. Meanwhile, Miguel has made his way to the park also. He runs around chasing butterflies, wiggles his toes in the cool grass, then dives and takes a face full of clovers and flowers.

Miguel: Ahhhhh.. the outside world. I almost forgot how it was. Locked up in that office all day.. going home at night. I forgot there was even a sun. [looks up and it then grabs his eyes in pain] MAAAAAANNN it's bright!! [flops down on the wild flowers] Man. These flowers smell so good.[ He breathes them in as well as a face full of black and white fur.] Well that's an odd but familiar scent.

Sabrina: Do you mind?!

Miguel reels back and sees a pretty girl skunk eyeing him. She was reading a book in the clovers until interrupted.

Miguel: Sa….Sabrina?

Sabrina:[eyes him] Maybe.. who are you?

Miguel: Um.. hey what's that behind you?[points over her shoulder]

Sabrina: Huh? Where?[looks behind her]

Miguel leaps and jumps around for joy and vanishes off screen. Then he pops back in doing cartwheels and flips. He runs back and stands a bit calmer next to her as she looks back.

Sabrina: It's just a girl in a sarong, They look freaky to me too, but to each their own I guess.

Miguel: Um.. sorry about just now, I didn't mean to look like some kind of sicko . Just.. I don't get out much.

Sabrina:[goes back to reading her book] It shows.

Miguel: Um.. I'm Miguel.. Miguel Tigre.

Sabrina; [doesn't look up from her book] And you know who I am.

Miguel: Um yeah.. I guess I do. [looks down a bit and tries to think of something] Excuse me young lady, do you sit here and read often? Cause if you do.. I'd like to watch from those bushes over there? DOH!![smacks himself in the face]

Sabrina: Well.. that's original.

Miguel:[opens his hand enough for one eye to look at her from under his hand clamped onto his face] Say who?

Sabrina: Well I've heard some lame pick up lines.. but that one.. it has to be the oddest, most unusual line I've ever heard. You're harmless.

Miguel: [peels his hand off of his face] I am.

Sabrina: Only a person dumb enough to have said that.. has to be too dumb to be a serial killer or a rapist.

Miguel: I am.. I'm harmless.. I'm not crazy or anything.. well not at a dangerous level anyway.

Sabrina;[looks at him] Good to hear. Um Miguel?

Miguel:[eyes light up] Yes Sabrina?

Sabrina: You're in my light.

Miguel: Oh sorry.[steps to one side]

Sabrina: [winces] Now.. you're…on my tail!!!

Miguel: YAAAAAA!! Oh no!!!

Miguel leaps off and lands on his knees on the ground next to her. He produces a brush from no where and begins to brush it and make it look like new.

Sabrina; Thank you.. but next time.. ask before you touch a gal's tail.

Miguel:[drops to his knees] I'm sorry Miss Sabrina.. I didn't mean to violate you like that!! I'm such a bad, awful, horrid..

Sabrina: The only thing you are, is annoying. But in an over eager sort of way.. actually it's kinda cute.

Miguel: Really?

Sabrina: No.[goes back to reading]

Miguel:[shoulders droop] I'm.. I'm sorry I ruined you peace. I'll leave you alone now.

Miguel walks off looking down. AND because of that he slams right into a tree. Sabrina looks up from her book and sees him hopping around holding his head.

Sabrina: Sigh… that guy…I dunno.[thinks for a bit then gets up and walks over to him]

Miguel: Stupid tree!![he punches it and causes it to shake like mad] Let that be a lesson to you!!

Suddenly tons of branches, leaves and pinecones come raining down on him. His head pops out from the pile and rolls around on the ground as several squirrels bite and claw him. Finally he tosses them every which way and looks up he sees Sabrina.

Sabrina: Well, you sure showed it didn't you?

Miguel: Miss Sabrina.. I would rather you not see me right now.[looks down] It's only going to get worse, my luck has it's way with me.. especially at times like this.

Sabrina: [picks branches and leaves out of his hair] Trust me, you can't possibly do anything that would embarrass yourself anymore.

Miguel: If you stay a bit longer.. I'll prove you wrong.

Sabrina: Miguel is it?

Miguel: Yes.

Sabrina: Stop feeling sorry for yourself, it's no way to impress a gal.

Miguel:[looks at her and blushes] Um yeah but…. Um well…… can't be any worse than what's I'm doing right now.

Sabrina;[laughs] No.. I guess not. Be right back.

Sabrina goes to go get her book and she puts it in her backpack. She then turns around and sees the pile but no Miguel.

Sabrina: Sigh. Well.. I hope he at least gets home safely.[she gets up and walks off..she comes back and picks up her tarot card.. with something along with it. She however does not notice this hitchhiker.

Meanwhile Miguel walks back to the eMenagerie building while picking twigs and stuff out of his shirt. He suddenly moves around franticly as a squirrel comes down the leg of his pants. He kicks it away and glares at it. He sighs and makes his way into the building. As he enters, Groovy bounds up to him.

Groovy: HIIIIIIIYAAAA!!! Did you get me the toy?

Miguel: Um sorry no.. all they have are those lame-o Hot Wheels/Barbie toys they always have around this time.[hands her a cheesy Barbie dressed like a cake]

Groovy: NO!!!

Miguel: Um.. but I did get you a Mo Mochi bag.[hands her a bag]

Groovy:[looks at the bag with a yellow frog on it and tosses it] It's not the same!!!

Miguel: Sigh.. tell you what.. go into my desk.. and get one from one of my sets.. okay?

Groovy: Really.. I can have the watch?

Miguel: Yeah sure. Just make sure no one bothers me right now.[walks off]

Groovy: YES!![skips off then stops] HEY!!! You forgot my kitty litter didn't you!!!

Miguel: [from far off] You don't even USE a litter box!!

Groovy: Oh yeah, heh don't I feel stupid holding it in all this time.[scurries off]

Miguel walks into one of the broom closet and locks himself in. He walks over to a corner and slumps down and curls up into a ball and begins crying.
