Slowly, Ai opened her unusually sad eyes as she laid on her western style bed. She was feeling horribly homesick once again, and she had only been in Tokyo for a day now. Just thinking about Junpei, her grandmother, or Kyoto in general made her want to curl up and cry. To make matters worse, her bedroom walls still remained disgustingly bare and

Kyou looked at the girl who had just arrived at the park with a dog, and felt a small stab of jealousy. She wanted a pet so much, but her parents hadn't allowed her to get one. Maybe they'd change their mind now they were in Tokyo? She watched the dog chase after a stick the other girl had thrown, and surveyed the thrower.

The pink hair caught her attention first, and although it didn't shock her, she was still surprised. Kyou hadn't seen very many people with dyed hair before, and especially none that bright. It certainly did stick out against the dark-haired people she usually saw.

She reached down to toy with the blanket she was sitting on to stop her jeans from getting dirty, mentally debating over whether the fact she was staring at the new arrival was creepy or not.

Ai laughed as she and the puppy continued to play. She could always count on Momo to make her feel better when no one else could. Throwing the small stick once again, she let out a sigh of content.

The active puppy was about to pick up the stick Ai had thrown, when he let out an excited bark. Before Ai could fully react, the pug had taken off running. Ai's eyes grew wide with worry; he had never ran far from Ai before, at least not without a reason.

"Momo! Momo, stop!" Ai yelled across the park to her dog as she ran after it. Though the dog's legs were short, it certainly did run fast. Ai could see the busy street at the end of the park, and pushed herself harder to catch the dog before it was harmed.

"Momo~!" Ai yelled again, her voice thick with worry and her eyes beginning to water with tears.

The dog's barks sounded over her music, and she pulled out her headphones from her ears, just in time to hear "Momo~!" being yelled by the girl she'd been watching. Kyou looked at the dog as it was running towards freedom, to the gate behind her.

"Uh, Momo?" She raised her voice, calling out to it as well, since it's owner seemingly had no chance of getting to it in time. It'd probably not react to the sound of her voice either, but it was worth a try. If worst came to worst, she could always try to catch it, being closer than it's owner.

Ai watched the puppy run with delight to the stranger she had just noticed. Momo ran excitedly around the girl, barking a friendly 'hello.' With a sigh of relief, Ai realized that Momo just wanted to greet the stranger, and slowed her pace to a slow jog. She knew he had to have a reason to just take off like that.

Reaching the girl, Ai came to a halt. Putting her hands upon her bare knees, she took the opportunity to catch her breath.

"Momo, silly," she said between breaths, "don't scare me like that." The puppy only stared up at the new girl, panting happily and waiting to be pet.
