A family shop filled with furry animals of all kinds.

[Enter Matt from some street]
Matt panted as he ran inside of the pet shop. He said hello to his grandfather and began to get the things for Dormouse ready for when Will came. At the same time he began to think about how he would apologize to Will.

[Enter: Will from Some Street]
*The bell chimed as she entered the little shop and Will instantly felt that she liked this place. The animals were all in cages and pens but they seemed like they were well cared for and loved here. Will walked forward and let the door shut behind her*
"Hello, Miss," an old man said as he walked toward her. "Looking for some supplies or to adopt?"
"Um, no thank you sir," Will said. "My hands are already kept full by my dormouse."
"A dormouse you say? Well you know they aren't meant to be house pets."
"Well, yeah but it was kind of a...special situation," Will said, attempting not to blush. She instead began to smile and play with the kittens' paws from the cage next to her.
I wonder how long it's going to take for Matt to get here?

Matt stumbled out from the back carrying a box filled with dried and fresh fruit, seed mix bags, pamphlets about taking care of Dormice, and toys, lots and lots of little wooden toys.
He set the box down on the front counter.
"Hey grandpa can I leave this box here until a friend of mine comes over?" Matt said and then turned around. He saw Will looking at cats.
"...Oh never mind she's here already." Matt walked a little closer to Will.
"Um hey Will."

*Will gasped in surprise, looking from behind her at the door and back at Matt*
"How did you get here before me?" she asked

"Huh? Oh that Yeah I took a short-cut. I used to visit the pet shop all the time so I learned most of them."
Matt saw his grandfather smiling at him from the corner of his eye and decided introductions would be a good way to break the awkwardness
"Will this is my grandpa. Grandpa this is my friend Will. She's the one with the Dormouse."

*Matt's grandfather held out his hand and Will shook it*
"Ah yes, we were just talking about that dormouse," he said.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Olsen is it?" Will said. She looked around. "I really like your shop."
"Well thank you," Mr. Olsen said with a smile. "Although it would be better of course if some certain grandson would help out his old grandpa a bit more instead of spending all his time on a band."
*Mr. Olsen looked pointedly at Matt and Will actually smiled. She really liked this old man*

Matt gave a guilty smile at what his grandfather said.
"Ah I try to help sometimes grandpa" he said.
Matt's grandfather shook his head in amusement and went behind the counter to leave the two teens alone. After his grandfather left Matt turned back to Will.
"So Will listen I know you probably don't want to hear it, but I really am sorry about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have hit Andrew back like I did." Matt paused and took a breath.
"I should have just walked away. I hope your not too mad at me for hitting Andrew since he's your friend.....I think." Matt had to stop to ponder on that one. Was Andrew Will's friend?

"Yeah...I'm not really mad but, I guess I don't know how I felt about it. Just for you guys to be fighting, well you know..."
Will didn't know how to explain how horrible she felt causing this problem, and yet neither boy would probably blame her and that just made her feel worse.
"And Cornelia and the others are my friends. Andrew doesn't really qualify. Like you're my friend-" Will quickly looked away to nonchalantly hide her blush as she pet a dog.

Matt blushed when Will called him her friend. He tried to hide it by chuckling nervously.
"Haha yeah well I'm glad to be your friend." He looked at Will petting the dog.
"You really like animals don't you Will?"

*Will brightened, not only about the change of subject*
"Oh yes, I love them," she said as she smiled with a laugh as the dog she was petting started licking her hand

Matt smiled while watching Will. Then he remembered about the box on the counter.
"Oh yeah! Hold on Will I'll be right back." Matt said as he went over to the counter to pick up the box he had left there earlier.
Matt carried the box back to Will and showed it to her.
"Here's the stuff for Dormouse. I looked some stuff up online and I asked my grandpa about it too. This should help you take care of him."
(ooc: Dormouse is a boy....right?)

*Will took the heavy box and tried to get a good grip on it by balancing it on her knees*
"Wow, thanks," she said sincerely. "I'm sure he'll love all this stuff."
*Will wasn't sure what to say, but she was smiling again*
Ahhhh....I'm happy
"*Squak!* Happy! Happy."
*Will gasped and looked at a parot in a cage intently*
Did that thing just read my thoughts?

Matt looked at the parrot that had just spoken...well squaked. It looked normal and no one had said anything about being happy around it.
Matt's grandfather looked up from the counter at the bird. Both he and Matt were wondering why the bird had randomly said happy.

*Will looked around at the animals that were suddenly getting slightly restless. Barking, meowing, purring, hopping...*
Oh boy, something weird is happening again.
"Um, well I'd better go and get this stuff home to my dormouse," Will said
Before they all break out of the cages and I'm under attack from excited pets
