Square One

"Don't tell me I'm back where I started!" Jess whined.

"Does my cousin have an air-head?" Deiara asked.

Jess groaned. "All of that for nothing!"

Deiara looked at her really annoyed. "You think you're disappointed? I got smacked upside the head with something, nearly killed over some stew, and you think you're having the bad day?" Deiara said sarcastically.

Out of that, Jess laughed a little. "I'm sorry Deiara, it's just been stressful."

Deiara's black eyes started to turn the color red for a slight second but then faded. "It's all right Jess," she smirked.

Something weird out of that happened, in that instant a weird summoning circle formed an an orange fox popped out of the portal and landed at Deiara's feet. Jess blinked, confused and Deiara did the same. The little fur-ball sat at Deiara's feet and scratched at its ear. "Chu~" was all that came out of its mouth.

"Aw... that fox is so cute!" Jess said, putting her hand down to pet it, but Deiara motioned her hand away.

"No! Jess! What if it's D. in disguse or one of his minions un?" Deiara questioned.

"It's all right, Deiara, it's just a fox," she blinked.

Deiara was about to say something but the fox jumped and crawled its way up Deiara's shoulder. "Chu~" it said again in Deiara's ear and then licked her neck.

Jess giggled. "I think it likes you, you should keep it."

"No," Deiara said, "I can't keep a plant alive, how could I keep this alive?"

"Chu~"

Jess looked at Deiara and the fox again. "Just think about it, we'll deal with it later, we need to find D," Jess said and then her eyes widened, "Oh no... Taro! Celena! I forgot!"

Deiara looked at Jess as she started to pace around. "Oh man, where are they?"
