Having woken up, I already look as if I was a deranged lunatic with a taste for blood, but it was because I was jolted to a halt when my alarm went off.\u0026nbsp;\n\nIn the mirror before me, all I saw was a crazy MechWing Alligator looking for a fight. Nah, it's just me.\u0026nbsp;\n\nMy turquoise-colored scales were clashing appropriately with the color of the bathroom walls, but they were lighter in depth than on its own.\u0026nbsp;\n\nI had begun to take out my brush and started fixing up this large, coal colored Mane called my hair, and I began to gently brush through the laces of fur.\u0026nbsp;\n\nI have been made aware that a male MechWing Gator has a mane that can grow up to 15 centimeters, and the one who has the largest mane is usually the leader of the entire forest.\u0026nbsp;\n\nUnlike that, however, I was a frail weakling, but still got respect by the leader, who was my granddad. Sadly, since civilization had been built, we disbanded and became independent.\u0026nbsp;\n\nSorry, was I rambling on? I got a little distracted there. Anyway, while I was peacefully grooming my mane and changing into my casual indoor clothes, which consisted of a plaid green/yellow shirt with a white undergarment beneath it, a pair of black pants, and yellow sneakers, I heard my doorbell ring.\u0026nbsp;\n\nMuch to my surprise, it had been only two years since I last had visitors, until now - putting down my brush to go check, it was beginning to worry me.\u0026nbsp;\n\nShould this be a ding ding ditcher, or just someone in need of money?\u0026nbsp;\n\nIrrational fear struck me as I had gotten closer, but I kept my cool, since this is no time or be scared. As I slowly opened the front door to check who it was, it was completely empty.\u0026nbsp;\n\nThis bewildered me, but at the same time, provoked me, since my first assumption was correct - possibly not.\u0026nbsp;\n\nBefore going back inside, I looked down to see a... kid?\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe was no ordinary child - he was an Axolotl.\u0026nbsp;_Oh my\u0026nbsp;_I thought,\u0026nbsp;_I've heard stories about a species like this, but never in my life have I sent one up close.\u0026nbsp;_\n\nThe poor thing looked up at me, his face completely covered in heartache. I know I shouldn't have answered the door, but it would be so rude of me just to ignore him.\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe looked so innocent, his\u0026nbsp;amber eyes looking straight at me. Frozen in confusion, I opened my tooth-filled mouth open to speak, but no words could come out.\u0026nbsp;\n\nAll of a sudden, I spotted a sticky note on the right quadrant of his\u0026nbsp;chest, and it had words written on it...\n\nI took the note off him and read it carefully.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Please babysit,\" I read aloud, taken aback by this message. Just looking at him, he seemed like someone had him\u0026nbsp;before me. Judging by this note alone, I also made sight of his appearance - he was dressed, looking presentable.\n\nHe sported a white T-shirt with a small red logo on it, alongside a small green pair of shorts that seemed too short for someone his age.\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe Axolotl boy\u0026nbsp;looked about nine\u0026nbsp;to ten\u0026nbsp;years old, and he was so little! At the same time, I tried to hide my excitement of meeting up with an adorable life form like him, even trying to figure out what to do.\u0026nbsp;\n\nI kneeled down to his height, but for some reason, I could not level myself with him. \"Hey,\" I began, and he looked straight at me. \"What is your name?\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"K-kiyoko,\" he replied, his voice tiny and timid. I saw that he was hanging onto a stuffed Giraffe toy by his\u0026nbsp;side, mostly because he was afraid of being somewhere new.\u0026nbsp;\n\nI checked to see if anyone else was watching, just to be sure nothing bad happens, then returned my gaze to Kiyoko.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Where did you come from?\" I asked.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"M-my d-d-dad dropped me off,\" he replied, a hint of numerous stutters and a possible speech impediment in his voice. While this was something new to me, I smiled a bit and picked him up.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well, in case if he ever comes back,\" I spoke, still holding him, \"looks like you're stuck with me!\"\u0026nbsp;\n\nI spotted a little smile creep across his face, as I bring him inside.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
