X. Draw me close to you
_As told by Nina_ I had taken my sketchbook and pencils with me, so I could try my hand at some drawing until Trisha was done with her dinner preparations. Unlike Milo, I could actually draw a face that resembled my subject - although since he...
IX. The game is up
_As told by Nina_ As the game progressed, my suspicion were more or less became confirmed. I caught Trisha multiple times allowing me to jump her - either that, or she must have been _really_ bad at checkers. Eventually, I had three kings, making...
VIII. Practice makes perfect
_As told by Nina_ Finally Friday. I had not only made good progress on my artwork for Milo's theatre play, but also managed to finish an assignment I had to turn in at the end of the next week. Furthermore, my queue of commissioned artwork I owed...
XIII. Call and response
_As told by Milo_ The theatre event had been tiring, to say the least. I spent the entire evening waiting for my turn, since some moron had decided it would be a good idea to end the event with my play. Who ends a night like this with a tragedy?...
XII. Planes of Existence
_As told by Nina_ Two full weeks had passed since I had first shown Trisha my inner puppy. In the meantime, we had 'practiced' once more, after which she had taught me how to sew. The old Indian appeared to be a real expert in the craft, and she was a...
XI. Foreshadowing
_As told by Milo_ There are days on which I miss being a puppy, because I have no time to regress. On other occasions, I just don't feel like it, because it's a feeling that can come and go. The worst option is when I know playing puppy would do me...
IV. This is it
Just as i wanted to ring the bell again, the door slowly opened, revealing an elderly hare indian lady. i knew she was at least seventy years old, but she did not look like an _old_ elderly person, despite the typical reading glasses she wore.
I. Give me a break
Besides, if you'd spend your spring break here, i'm fairly sure that a certain hare indian is going to miss you."_ _ i chuckled at his suggestion. "i bet he will.
V. But wait, there's more!
_As told by Nina_ "There's more to it than just hugging a fluffy toy. The idea is that you play pretend, so you make yourself believe that you really _are_ a puppy. And with 'puppy', that generally means a three-year-old, for me and Milo." "To...
III. Two's a company
Luckily, i knew that only milo's _mother_was a hare indian. last names are passed on by species rather than by gender, so he must have inherited that from her.
VI. A present for the future
_As told by Nina_ "You're probably wondering why I told you all this, right?" She nodded. "I assume that you have a firm reason to tell me something this personal. Care to elaborate?" "It's about Milo's birthday. I told you over the phone that...
XVI. The morning after
_As told by Milo_ Finally. The first birthday in ten years I had enjoyed. Nina really outdid herself, and I had apologized once more for being angry with her for exposing my secret. Even though my grandmother was not used to Nina and me playing...
