Blind anon gets a guide puppy [Greentext]

>Be born a blind bastard
>Not even mamomo mana can bring back your sight
>You deal with it alright, but it's hard for you to play with other kids
>Parents take you somewhere one day
>You don't know where, but it smells like dogs
>Can hear all the yips and little barks from outside
>Have to sit in a chair for a bit while parents fill out forms
>But then they take you where the noises are coming from
>You were always looking forward to having a guide animal
>So you were very surprised when you heard the voices of little girls swarming around you and asking what your name was
>None of them try to touch you, and they're all well behaved
>Respond to the 'sit' command from one of the adults as soon as it's spoken
>Their tails are all sweeping across the carpet
>Parents tell you to have a good day, they'll be back before dinner to pick you up
>Is this daycare?
>"Not exactly" they reply
>You're left to interact with all the girls
>Which isn't so bad, they seem to sense you haven't been around kids a lot and only come at you one at a time to ask you questions and tell you their name
>One stands out, mostly because her tail never seems to stop wagging
>April, as she said in her rather genki voice
>The others seem to lose interest once your attention focuses on her
>She can't stop giggling when you feel her face to see what she looks like
>When you need to use the bathroom she takes you to the door and tells you a map so you can use it yourself
>Reads you some books, though you're sure she's added some flair to the stories with her hyperactive imagination
>The time flies by, and you're worried about if you'll see April again or not
>Parents return and ask if you had a good time
>You ask if you can come again
>They say no
>You complain that you want to see your new friend again
>Can't understand why they're chuckling
>They explain that this is a service dog house
>And they came to get a puppy to help you out
>April gets to come home with you
>April is bouncing the whole ride home
>And tells you about all the things she sees out the window the whole way
>You wonder how she can never get tired of talking
>Tail is still smacking the seat ceaselessly
>When you get home she gets you out of the vehicle herself and guides you inside by the hand
>You know the layout of your house already, so she runs off to explore it herself
>Comes back every minute to check up on you
>Can hear her feet patting around everywhere
>Your parents take her things to your room
>She'll be sharing it with you, and sleep in a sleeping bag until they can set up a bed for you
>April returns as soon as dinner is served
>Tells you where the food is on your plate before starting her own dinner
>After dinner is bath time
>She almost pulls you to the bathroom herself to help you wash
>Parents thankfully stop her
>She sits right by the door and keeps asking if you're alright the whole time
>Whines and complains when your mother takes her to have her bath next
>You're in the kitchen when you hear your mother chasing the yippy puppy past you
>You can smell bath suds and the floor is wet
>April really doesn't like baths
>Your mother finally gets the puppy washed after remembering the commands
>By the time she's done you're getting ready for bed
>April darts in to help you get into your pajamas
>It's a bit awkward for your young self but it does make it a good deal easier
>Get tucked into bed by your mother, you can hear April's tail still going in her sleeping bag
>Not even five minutes after the lights are off, April slips into your bed to cuddle up next to you
>She smells like apples

>Morning comes with April waking you
>By licking your cheek
>An ultra happy good morning is yapped out when she sees you're awake
>She helps you get changed for the day
>Bit less awkward than the licking
>She takes you downstairs and gets breakfast for you
>Cold cereal
>Parents are up after you for once
>And are very surprised to see you both up so early
>April gets headpats from the adults
>You didn't know that tail could go faster
>Father gets some toast and coffee while you and April munch on your Jinko Flakes cereal
>When it's time for him to go, your father ruffles your hair and gives April more head pats
>Once he's gone, your mother asks if you want to play in the back yard
>It's the first time that she'd let you
>She was always worried that you'd wander into her little garden or worse, the tool shed
>It didn't have a door ever since a few full moons ago when a boy hid in there before a girl broke it in
>You don't really understand what made some girls go crazy on the full moon yet
>Father always says he'll tell you when you're older
>You and April head outside into the grassy back yard and you get to smell the scent of the flowers and growing vegetables first hand
>April drags you around to explore and tell you where each place is, keeping a pace that lets you count the steps
>Get a good mental map of the back yard now
>With that out of the way, April takes a few moments to roll on the grass in front of you
>Odd girl
>Afterwards she asks what games you want to play
>You're not even sure what games you CAN play
>She has to think about that for a minute
>Tag, Hide and seek, Jump rope are all out
>So she suggests fetch
>She is a puppy
>Looks around for something the two of you can play fetch with, though you can only hear her whimpers and the grass under her feet
>Has to go inside as quick as she can to find something
>You hear something jump up onto the fence by the alleyway soon after
>You listen nervously, worrying it's one of those scary kid-eaters your mother is always warning you about
>But it's much too small for that
>You hear claws scratch at wood before something plops over onto the grass
>Someone small walks over to you
>Before running away when a yipping and barking April runs back out
>She rushes past you and whoever it was scrambles back over the fence in a panic
>April keeps yipping for about a minute while pacing back and forth along the length of the fence
>You ask what is going on
>This snaps April out of it and she runs back over to you
>Apparently a were-kitten had come snooping
>But she was a stranger so April had to chase her away!
>As she puts it
>Something tells you that it won't be the last you hear of the were-kitten
>But April actually brought back a ball for you two to play with
>She sits you over by the house so you can throw it away from windows
>It's would be a bit boring for you if you couldn't hear April yipping all the way to the ball each time you tossed it
>Lets you know how far you've thrown it each time
>After a bit she makes a detour and barks at the far end of the yard again, bouncing to try and see over the edge of the fence
>What you guess is the were-kitten runs off again
>After a bit of growling April comes back with the ball to resume the games
>Every time your arms start getting tired she has to chase the kitten off
>This goes on until it's time for lunch
>April takes you inside to visit the bathroom first and then to the table
>April is ecstatic
>Almost wonder if she got something other than whole wheat with leftover ham and cheese
>Your mother asks her what the barking by the fence was about while you eat
>Has to remind April to swallow before she speaks
>April tells her about the super scary were-kitten with the devil horns and pitchfork
>Mother realizes it's the neighbor's girl
>Doesn't want April chasing her off again
>April whines
>But accepts
>April takes you back outside after you're both done dinner
>Is alright with reading books since you said you arms were getting sore
>It's a lot more peaceful without the yipping
>Hear all about the tales of a brave knight questing to defeat a dragon
>She adds a lot of content to what is a ten page picture book
>And jumps around as she acts out certain parts
>You can hear the scratching sound again by the fence after a bit
>April notices but keeps going with her acting
>You're not sure why she's moving about so much when you can't see it
>She's probably going to be covered in grass stains
>You hear a squeaky, nervous voice come from the fence
>"C-can I play?"
>April stops and growls a bit at the kitten
>But remembers what mom said
>Says okay, but the kitten has to be the villain
>Kitten points out she isn't a dragon
>And that book ends in a kissing scene
>April whines extra loud about spoiling it
>Kitten apologizes three times in a row
>April opens the back gate to let her in
>Feel someone plop down right beside you
>And then a puppy growl approaching
>The kitten is dragged away from you
>Before crawling back over
>Asks what your name is
>You tell her
>She introduces herself as May
>April pulls you away again and sits down where May had been
>May sits on the other side
>Before April can do more than growl you tell her to continue the story
>She forgot the spot she was at
>May meekly tells her she was at the part where the knight was chopping all the bad p'orcs on the head for taking all the cupcakes
>April pops up to continue
>May is just as interested in the out of control story as you are
>It keeps going through a swamp full of witches that need new hats, to a canyon full of crying wyverns, down the river of their tears, and to the tower of a lich
>You're wondering when he gets to the dragon when your mother calls you three in for snacks
>May is nervous about the snack thing
>Mother informs her she asked May's mother, and she said it was alright
>May follows you and April in as you go to the living room for a snack of apple slices and grapes
>May keeps very quiet unless you speak to her, each time mewing in surprise before speaking in her quiet voice
>April tolerates the kitten in the room as she enjoys her fruity treats
>When you mention it's time for your cartoons the puppy bounces up and runs around the living room to find the remote
>Fiddles with it for a bit but can't seem to figure it out
>And realizes she doesn't know what channel your cartoons are on anyways
>You've never heard what channel it was yourself
>May asks what cartoon it is, and you do your best to describe it to her
>It's one of the only ones with voiced captioning on it
>The kitten knows which one it is
>But April wants to find it
>She accidentally puts it on the nature channel
"When the lion catches it's prey, it clamps it's teeth down on it's neck to suffocate it."
>You hear May thump to the carpet
>April whines and runs to get your mom
>Your mother comes running
>Checks May over
>Kitten just fainted
>Your mother puts it on the right channel before picking May up to bring her home
>April is happy to have you to herself but still follow your mom to the door before coming back
>You spend the next five minutes explaining what the cartoon is about as best as you can
>And you're very surprised to find out one of the characters you thought was a guy is actually an amazon
>Fills in any blanks the captioning leaves that confuse you from that point on
>Your mother takes her time coming back from the neighbors, probably got chatting
>Gives you one of the brownies that May's mother baked
>April whines a bit and you ask why
>She can't have any, she's allergic to chocolate
>Mom gets her a popsicle from the freezer instead
>All is fine after that
>Everything is as it was the day before, the only highlight being April running and tripping on her way to greet your father when he gets home
>It's pizza for dinner that night, making April super excited
>Mother actually has to use the commands to get her to stop running around and yipping in joy
>While you're eating, your mother asks if you want to try going to preschool
>Now that April can watch you they feel safe leaving you there
>Know a good one where May is going to enter in a few days too
>You are nervous about it
>It's a place you don't know and a lot of people you haven't met before
>But April tells you that she'll protect you from anything
>It actually makes you feel more confident
>You want to give it a try
>Mother is happy and gives April head pats
>Her tail accelerates
>How does it never stop wagging?
>Truly a mystery you may never understand
>The doorbell rings
>April takes off barking all the way
>To the amusement of your parents
>Mother goes to the door to answer it
>Comes back with two sets of small footsteps
>May says hello
>Apologizes for fainting
>Like it's her fault
>Of course you tell her it's alright
>April actually asks if May is okay
>The kitten meekly mews a yes
>You hear May hold up some paper
>"I made you a drawing."
>There is a moment of awkward silence
>This only makes May more nervous
>You take it and gingerly tell her you're blind
>She doesn't know what that is, watches you feel the paper to try and get an idea what she made with crayons
>April explains as bluntly as a puppy can.
>"He can't see!"
>It sinks in
>May can't stop apologizing and whining, even when you say it's alright
>Eventually she stops, but you and April need to start getting ready for bed
>Say goodnight to May, she sneaks in two more apologies between saying goodnight back
>With the kitten shown back home, it's time for your bath
>Parents debate something in the other room first, something about using too much hot water
>Come to a decision
>You and April will share a bath
>You're blind, so there isn't anything to worry about
>You're pretty sure April can see you though
>They mention that she already helps you change clothes
>And they have a point there
>Still feels awkward
>April is wondering why it's a problem
>She doesn't have cooties, she checked
>You're not even sure what that means
>No getting around it, you and April get put in the bath together
>She can't stop whining when she's made to stay in the hot soapy water and gets scrubbed by your mother
>You take care of washing yourself until she finishes with the puppy, who sits with her eyes closed while the shampoo soaks into her hair
>But you don't know that
>This makes it very awkward for you
>This continues until April gets rinsed and is pulled out of the tub to be dried off by towel and blowdrier
>You think you can hear her biting at the hot air
>After her small feel pat away downstairs you get rinsed, dried, and dressed afterwards
>You're glad April isn't in charge of this
>After a brief snack and brushing of teeth, you and April get tucked in for the night
>Five minutes pass
>You feel April slip up into your bed again and snuggle up onto your side again
>She's nice and warm
>And smells like apples

>It's time for you to enter preschool
>As a blind kid you're obviously nervous about it
>The morning goes a lot like the others with April waking you up and getting you ready for the day
>She's excited too, her tail refuses to stop wagging behind her
>The whole ride to the preschool April tells you about all the things she sees outside the window
>Once your mother parks the car, April helps you get out
>You can't see anything but you can hear the sound of kids playing nearby
>April takes your hand firmly as soon as you're stepped foot in the parking lot
>You follow her a bit awkwardly, the puppy leading you through a door as the sounds of kids gets louder
>After your mother talks with the woman at the desk, you're allowed to enter the area where all the noise is coming from
>April shows you the way in at your pace, not once letting go of your hand
>All the other kids seem to be occupied with their own games and friends, so you two are left alone for now
>You hear a familiar, quiet voice as you approach
>"G-good morning a-anon."
>It's May
>April says good morning to the were-kitten herself
>And you reply afterwards
>May stays quiet for a few moments
>Just when you think something is wrong she takes your free hand on the other side
>Her paw's hold is a lot weaker than April's
>And this makes it a lot harder to move around
>April squeezes your hand a bit harder, you can feel her looking around you at May
>With what sort of look you couldn't tell
>Your mother says goodbye before giggling at your predicament
>It doesn't help you feel less embarrassed by it
>Well, at least it can't get worse
>An adult voice enters the play area
>"Alright kids, make a circle and we'll introduce ourselves to each other!"
>April leads you to the circle that forms in the center of the room
>You're not really looking forward to this, but you have to do it
>Once everyone is sat down in the circle, the adult introduces herself
>She's a rather tall holst, judging from how high her voice comes from
>The introductions start going around the circle with each kid standing up to tell everyone else who they are
>There is a good mix of boys to girls, and different monster girls
>Even a human girl
>May has to go before you
>She has to be asked to stand up twice before the shy kitten can manage the courage
>"I-I'mMayit'sgoodtomeetyouall..." She blurts out, sitting down and whimpering
>The adult doesn't bother pushing her for anything further
>It's your turn to stand up, but April won't let go of your hand
>You can feel the stares you're getting because of it
>You introduce yourself, mention a few things you like, and then say the big thing
>That you're blind
>The group is hushed
>That's normal, but it feels different this time
>You sit down again anyways and let April have her turn
>She stands up but still doesn't let go of your hand
>"I'm April, I'm Anon's guide puppy! One day I'm going to marry him!"
>You can feel her tail wagging furiously
>And the heat in your face
>The holst just giggles at the statement
>One of the kids asks what a guide puppy is
>"I show Anon where to go safely, make sure he doesn't get hurt, entertain him, and take care of Anon!"
>You can feel May squeezing your other hand a bit tighter
>With luck this will be over soon
>The holst gets April to sit down to your great relief
>But her tail keeps going at the same pace
>The rest of the kids introduce themselves
>Only a hellpup seems to stand out
>Once introductions are done the holst lets the kids have free time to see what toys there are and interact with each other
>You're fine just staying with April and May
>You don't have another hand for someone else to hold
>May goes to fetch a book for April to read
>Seems she really liked what the puppy did with that other book
>You wait with April on a patch of carpet holding hands
>Until a larger girl walks up and sits down in front of you
>"Hey."
>You think you recognize that voice
>April responds with her usually cheery tone
>"Hi!!"
>You say hello to the mystery girl too
>You think you smell cinnamon
>"Hey, are you really blind?"
>Yes, why would you lie about that?
>"Can I take care of you too?"
>April yips once before speaking normally
>"Only I get to take care of anon! I'm his guide puppy!"
>"But I want to take care of anon too!"
>You try and think of how to diffuse the situation
>Tell the girl that only people with the right training can be guide puppies
>But ask her what her name is, so you can be friends
>It seems to work even if April's tail has slowed down
>"I'm June."
>You can't help wondering what is with this coincidence
>Like you're in a story written by a lazy writer
>But you recognize the name
>It's the hellpup
>You try and correct yourself mentally and call it heckpup
>By now May returns
>But she moves around behind you to peek over your shoulder at June
>Her little paws hold onto your free arm
>"Hey, lets go play something anon!" June suggests, standing up straight
>You ask what games she had in mind
>April growls a bit
>"He can't play tag, catch, or simon says!"
>You're not so sure about that last one
>You feel June grab at your free arm to try and make you stand up
>Get forced to your feet
>"Lets go play on the swing!"
>This can only end well
>April refuses to let go and tugs the other way, but June is bigger and stronger
>You're too unbalanced by the tug of war to stop it
>You're not even sure what swings are
>Or where May has gone at this point
>The fresh air of outside greets your senses when you get dragged out a door
>The shaggy hellpup tail keeps brushing past your legs behind June
>"Stop! It's not safe for Anon to go on swings!" April pleads
>"Of course it's safe! He's just got to hold on while I push!"
>You're not even sure what you're supposed to hold onto
>Eventually you're dragged to whatever these 'swings' are
>Both canines let go of you to start bickering
>It gives you a chance to feel the swing with your hands
>It's a piece of cloth hanging between two sturdy ropes
>You're not sure how you're supposed to play with it right away
>Forgetting the puppy and hellpup arguing nearby you sit down in the swing to see if it'll work
>It's a bit freaky being off the ground when you can't see
>"See, Anon wants to do it!" June barks in joy
>Wait a minute here
>June moves behind you to give you a push
>You are not okay with this
>But that isn't getting through to June
>She's too happy laughing and pushing you higher and higher
>April isn't happy about this either
>She won't stop yipping and telling June to stop
>June doesn't get it until you start yelling at her too
>Hellpup goes quiet as April stops the swing so you can get off and takes your hand
>"I-I'm sorry, I thought it would be fun!" June apologizes
>April just drags you away in a huff, leaving the hellpup behind
>June doesn't try and follow you two
>You thank April for helping you out
>April's tail wags, her peppy personality returning
>"Of course anon! I'll always take care of you!"
>April gives you a big hug and squeezes you tight
>And doesn't seem eager to let go anytime soon

    >It's the weekend
    >April is hiding with you in a hallway closet
    >The puppy is shaking in fright and holding onto your hand extra tight
    >Such a simple hiding spot can't fool your mother
    >She slides the door open and makes April yelp in a very dog-like manner
    >Mother scoops April up while the puppy pleads
    >"You need those shots young lady! We'll go clothes shopping after!"
    >Your father comes by to take your hand
    >He's going to need to go too in order to keep the puppy from escaping them
    >So you're going next door to play with May until they get back
    >He takes you over and hands you off to May's mother
    >You're shown into the new house carefully by the mother were-cat and taken to a room where you can hear a television
    >You can't tell what is on it due to lack of descriptive audio
    >May stays very quiet as you sit down next to her
    >You hear her mother giggle
    >"I'm going to go work in the other room, you can take care of him right?"
    >May hesitates
    >"Uhm... I g-guess... maybe... yeah?"
    >May's mother leaves the room, telling you to call if you need anything
    >Somehow this seems like a bad idea
    >You sit there for a short while, not sure what to talk with May about
    >The television is changed to a different show with descriptive video
    >You thank May
    >"Y-you're welcome."
    >Awkwardness continues
    >You try to start a conversation by asking how she's liking preschool
    >Just answers with "It's o-okay."
    >Stand up and say you want some water
    >May springs up with a small whine
    >"I-I'll get it for you!"
    >In her rush she trips over something on the ground and falls over
    >Right into you
    >The soft carpet thankfully cushions the fall
    >You ask if she's alright, even if she landed on top of you
    >Feel her feel around while whining again
    >"M-my glasses fell off!"
    >She wears glasses?
    >The kitten crawls off of you and blindly feels around
    >You offer to help
    >As you feel around you find numerous toys strewn about the carpet
    >No wonder she tripped
    >Wait, what do glasses look like?
>You ask May that odd question
>"W-well, they're glassy and have thingies on them."
>That really doesn't help you much
>Your hand feels something that doesn't feel like a toy moments later
>Feel it carefully, it certainly seems like something to fit over someone's face
>Inform May of your discovery
>The only problem is getting them to her
>You two follow each others voices
>Then you feel something press up against your face
>You're sure it's May's face, especially after you hear her jump back with a surprised mew
>She's stammering and tripping on her words more than usual
>You just hold her glasses out for her to take
>Not that she can see them
>It takes a while for May to calm down
>You ask why she's acting so weird
>She's rather nervous about why
>Almost can't get it out
>"B-because w-w-w-eeh k-k-ki-kissed!"
>Is that what kissing was?
>She still hasn't taken her glasses back
>You think you can hear a giggling coming from a different direction
>"K-kissing is wh-when two p-people touch l-lips!" May blurts out
>So, you two did kiss
>For a second
>Your face starts to feel hot again
>Neither of you want to say anything now
>Eventually May feels around and takes her glasses from you
>She gets up and fetches the water you wanted
>You two just 'watch' television for a while
>You're too nervous to ask May to take you to the bathroom
>Can only hope April comes back soon
>Finally you hear the front door opening and the patter of rapidly approaching footsteps
>April nearly bowls you over as she slides into a hug
>From how much her tail and wagging behind her you guess she really missed you
>"I'm back Anon! I'm sorry I left! You weren't scared were you?!" April asks in her excessive worry, before getting really happy "Hi May!"
>"H-h-hello..." May squeaks out, muffled by something
>April's keen senses pick up the tension in the air
>"What's wrong?"
>You tell her nothing was wrong, but you had to use the bathroom
>Don't want her finding out about the accidental kiss
>You're embarrassed enough
>April yips with joy and takes your hand after standing
>Once you stand up she leads you all over the first floor looking for the bathroom
>Finally you find it, April tells you a map before closing the door behind you
>The relief is great
>With that taken care of and hands washed, April guides you back to the room you were in before
>You can hear your mother talking with May's mother in the other room
>April sits down right next to you, tail lightly batting your back while you all 'watch' the television
>April doesn't seem to be watching, she's sensing something happened
>"What'd you two do while I was gone?"
>May just whines and muffles her voice more
>You feel your face turning red again
>The puppy can't miss that hint
>"Did you two kiss?"
>As blunt as ever
>Whatever May's reaction is tips the puppy on
>"Not fair! I wanna kiss Anon too!"
>Wait, what is she-
>April pounces on you, and you feel her kissing your face all over
>With her arms wrapped around you there is no choice but to take it
>After a good minute of this the puppy finally gets off you and pulls you to a sitting position
>You're stupefied
>May thumps as she faints
>April is just sitting there with her tail in maximum overwag
>And you can hear the adults giggling at the scene
>Not sure how this could get any more embarrassing
>"Anon tastes like cookies!"
>Thanks April

>It's a nice sunny morning
>You can smell the orchards and farms that you keep passing by in the car
>You wish you could see it all though
>But the puppy girl next to you with her endlessly wagging tail is more than happy to tell you about all the things you're passing
>The Holst fields
>Barometz ranch
>Alruane gardens
>A bunch of fuzzy weresheep with daughters
>Pig fields being tended to by P'orcs
>Apparently your mother finds it weird
>You don't really get it
>Something about the two looking similar
>The quiet were-kitten May beside you has barely said a thing since you got in the car, though her mother keeps chatting with your own in the front seat
>Before long your little group arrive at your destination
>You can smell the blueberries already
>A friend of May's mother that runs the blueberry fields lets her pick fresh blueberries
>And you'll have a picnic for lunch
>You don't think it'll be that fun though
>As soon as the door by April's side is open she unbuckles you and grabs your hand, guiding you out of the vehicle
>A wicker basket is put into your free hand before your group of five heads into the fields
"Blueberries grow on bushes?!"
>You can't help wondering what April thought they grew on
>Not that you know what a bush looks like
"Y-yeah... can we eat some as we pick?" May asks
"Just don't ruin your lunch." Her mother answers
>April cheers in place of the kitten and starts dragging you into the fields faster
>You're used to keeping step with her now
>And are still confused how her tail never stops wagging
>You hear May follow you, and the distant call not to wander too far away from your mother
"Okay! I'll keep Anon safe!" April barks excitedly
>She apparently really like blueberries
>After she stops dragging you she begins collecting in the basket you're holding
>You kneel down to try and feel for the berries yourself
>The bushes don't have thorns so you're free to feel around for the bunches of berries
>You're able to figure out that the bigger the berry the better by tasting them
>April runs around picking the biggest ones to put into the basket
>But pauses near you every so often
>May sticks near you and picks berries to your side
>Once every berry is picked that you can find from the bush you move to the next
>Overall it's pretty uneventful
>Except for April's usual energy
>May moves right back beside you each time you move
>There is an odd smelling weed between the next set of bushes
>You reach for it to see what it feels like
>And end up touching May's hand
>May yelps and falls backwards
>The plant was uprooted in her hand
>You ask if she's alright
>April runs right back over to check on you two
"Whatcha got there May?" April asks
"I dunno... It smells nice though."
"Can I smell?!" April yips
>After a few sniffs April snorts
"It's kinda stinky!"
>You get a whiff of it too
>It does have an strange smell to it
>You go back to picking the berries
>April moves away too
>You don't hear May return to picking berries though
>After a short time April yips again
"Don't eat strange plants May!"
>That doesn't sound good
>You hear April run over again
>But from the sound of her whine she was too late
"I'm gonna get mom Anon, stay here!" April instructs you
>She runs off, leaving you and May alone
>You ask if May is alright
"Nyaaaaa..."
>You feel a paw padding at your back
>That's not normal
>Another needy mewl and another paw is padding at you, gripping at your shirt's sleeve
>You're a bit confused by what's going on
>Especially when May butts her head against your back lightly
>She rubs her head up against you next
>It's a bit confusing and uncomfortable
>You ask if she's alright again
"Peeeeets!...." She pleads
>You're not sure what's going on, so you turn around and feel around for May's head
>A purr comes from her as soon as your hand meets one of her small ears
>It's the first time you've tried petting anything, but May hardly seems to mind the side to side motion
>She quite enjoys it from the loud purr you're hearing
>April and the two adults return quick
"What's that noise she's making?!"
>April has never heard a purr before it seems
>She's whining and worrying even while the adults assess the situation
>May's mother figures out what it is
>Catnip
>You're obviously confused, so your mother decides to explain it to you
>About how catnip affects cats
>And makes feline girls act funny
>April seems relieved that it isn't anything serious
>But when you stop petting May starts mewling and complaining
>She grabs your hand and puts it back on top of her head
>It gets amused giggles from the adults
>It's about time for the picnic now, so you all get up to head to somewhere grassy to set out the blanket
>April is holding your hand a bit tighter the whole way
>And May keeps rubbing her cheek against your arm
>It's a bit embarrassing
>You can feel your face getting warmer from it
>Once the picnic blanket is spread out, April helps you sit down
>And May lays her head down on your lap and begs for pets again
>A small growl comes out of April as she mimics the behavior
"I want Anon's pets too!"
>And like that, both of your hands are occupied rubbing girl's hair and scratching behind fuzzy ears
>You're not sure how 'red' your face is, but it feels like it's burning up right now
>Eventually you get your hands back to each one of the sandwiches your mother made
>It involved tearing the girls off of you though
>And May's mother seems to be having trouble wrangling her daughter to eat her lunch
>So May is allowed to lean against you while you eat
>This means April leans into your other side
>The purring just doesn't seem to stop
>Or the eternally wagging tail
>Where does April get the energy to keep that thing going?
>You're pretty sure she even has it going when she's sleeping
>It's a bit tough to eat like this, but at least you're not going hungry
>You each get a juice box to wash the PB&J sandwiches down
"How long is May going to be acting funny?" April asks
>She's quite upset when she's told a few hours
>And hugs your arm very tight in response
>You feel May slip down to occupy your lap again
>This time she lays all across it
>She's light and soft, but the heat returns to your face fast
"Anoooon.... peeettts..." May pleads
>Seems like you'll be stuck like this for a while
>April growls a bit again
>But May's new position has made it hard to get a good position on you
>You move your hand back up to where May's head is and return to petting her
"Can't we make her better faster?!" April whines
>She is devastated when she hears that they can't
>So she resorts to getting herself under one of your arms and putting your free hand up on her head
>Unable to deny her, you scratch behind her ears and get to stroking
>This seems very cute to the adults from how much they're giggling
>You're not having so much fun, it's still embarrassing
>You have a tail whapping your back
>And a purring body on top of your legs
>At least you're not bored?
"We're going to go pick some more berries, have fun!"
>Thanks mom
>Just what you wanted to do all afternoon
>This continues for a while
>And eventually it stops making your face burn
>You can even hear the birds chirping in the tree above you
>And a tractor passing by on the road
>You know what those sound like thanks to television
>They're pretty slow though
>You're getting tired of sitting up straight
>Without warning you feel a fuzzy lick on your knee
>It surprises you enough it makes you fall backwards
>And then they pounce
>Both May and April jump up onto you, competing for the best spot
>They end up at a stalemate, each claiming one side of you
>And May starts licking at your neck
>You protest, but she just keeps licking
>A whine later and April joins in
>Licking at your cheek and jaw
>This is somehow worse than when she was kissing you
>To try and stop them, you get your hands to their heads to resume the petting
>This only makes things worse
>You don't know why they are doing it, but you can't stop it
>Resolved to your fate, you just try to keep your hands from cramping up until the three of you fall asleep for an afternoon nap
>You wake later, and can smell the heat of the day dying down
>April is still sitting right beside you, much less clingy than before you went to sleep
>You ask her how May is feeling
"She's back to normal now!"
>That's good
"But she ran off into the field and hid somewhere!"
>That's not good
"Mom and her mom are going to find her though!"
>That's good
"But they said there might be more catnip out there in the field."
>That's very bad
>Thankfully you hear your mother calling that they found her
>She comes over to gather everything up while April takes you to the car
>You can feel May in the back seat after you are helped in and buckled up
>She seems extra meek now
>But does speak with much stuttering
"P-p-p-please d-don't t-tell anyone a-at school a-a-about this A-anon..."

    >It's Monday
    >That means you're back at kindergarten
    >The extra noise around you is a bit jarring
    >But April is there holding your hand all the way
    >That's pretty comforting
    >Your mother gives you a hug and tells you she'll be back later
    >May isn't hovering around you like she was last week
    >Must still be embarrassed from yesterday
    >April doesn't seem to mind
    >Her tail is wagging faster than usual
    >You can tell because it keeps brushing against your legs
    >Once your mother leaves, April giggles and speaks
    "What do you wanna do today anon?"
    >You're feeling a bit braver than last week
    >Or a bit more bored
    >All of last week involved the reading of books
    >But the kindergarten ran out so April tried to get May to act out some sort of two man play
    >That didn't work out well
    >So you suggest going out to play on the playground
    >Carefully
    >April doesn't respond right away as she considers it
    "Okay! Lets go on the slide first!" April yips
    >You're led out by the hand towards the slide
    >When you ask what a slide is, April tries to describe it
    "It's this fun slidey thing! You climb up and slip down! It's kinda like a tube, yknow, like empty toilet paper tubes but a lot bigger and it spins around! And you say 'Wheeeee!!' on the way down!"
    >It sort of gives you an image of what it is
    >She takes you up the safe way and makes sure you don't bump into anybody else
    >Just a few inclines before the real challenge
    >The rope bridge
    >It has wooden boards to walk on, but it shakes around when you move on it
    >April is there and holds your hand extra tight as you two cross
    >She even assures you that you're only two feet up
    >Getting across it isn't soon enough and you hurry as soon as you hear April step onto solid plastic
    >April yips in surprise, the two of you spilling over
    >The two of you tumble down, and all you can smell is strawberries
    >And all that's below you is soft puppy
    >The heat is returning to your face now
    >April recovers first and gives you a big hug
"There there, you made it! It's alright now!"
>Her hands rub at your back as her tail whaps against the plastic in overdrive
>It helps you calm down so you can get up off of her with care
>April gets up and makes sure you're steady on your feet before giving you another hug
"Now we can go on the slide!"
>You're not so sure about that anymore
"The only other ways down are the rope ladder and back the way we came though."
>Heck yeah you want to try the slide
>April giggles and guides you in front of it
>She has you put your hands on the top of the slide's entrance before carefully helping your legs get into position
>You're wondering if you should let go yet, but feel her slip in behind you and wrap her arms and legs around you
"I'll keep you safe! Lets go!"
>It does make you feel safer this way
>So you let go and April lets the two of you slide down at a slow pace
>It picks up speed as you go around the gentle curve, but it isn't scary
>Fun even
>When the slide ends you and April drop half a foot to the sand below
>She unwraps herself from you and helps you up
"Wanna go again?"
>"Yeah."
"Yay!"
>She excitedly guides you somewhere besides where you started climbing the first time
"Wanna try climbing? I'll catch you if you fall!"
>Well, you'd feel bad after she offered that
>You cautiously feel around and find the rope ladder
>Each handhold is easy to find
>The footholds are a bit worrying till you feel it under your heel
>Progress is slow, but April doesn't help you physically
>She just keeps giving you words of encouragement, right behind you
>Before long you're back up on the higher platform, standing there as April scales the ropes far faster than you
>She happy puppy gives you a big hug to congratulate you
"You did it!"
>Yeah. Yeah, you did!
>You reward is another trip down the slide with April clinging to you again
>It's more exciting when you know what to expect
>You keep taking trips up and down the slide, the trip up taking less time each time you climb the rope ladder
>And April doesn't stop being happy
>The only thing that stops you from going a tenth time is snack time being called
>You and April head on into the snack area to see what it is today
>Small small milk carton or a juice box, and your choice of raisins, half a banana, or apple slices
>You pick your treat and sit down with April, your snack only delayed by figuring out how to open your drink yourself while April gives you advice verbally
>Then you hear her growl a tiny bit
>And smell something like smoke
>A slightly heavier weight than the two of you sits down in front of the pair of you
"Uhm, hey. I wanted to apologize for last week..."
>It's June
>You tell her it's alright
>There are two sets of wagging tails now
"Okay. But I made you something at home with my mom, I asked the teacher if it was alright and she said okay. They're cupcakes!"
>You hear crinkling paper and a whine from June
"I gotta taste it to make sure it doesn't taste funny!" Yips April.
"Wait, don't!"
>April wolfs the cupcake down in record time
>There is a small pause
"There was chocolate in that, huh?"
"Yeah..."
>Another short pause follows before you hear something pat what you guess is June's shoulder
"Take care of Anon while I'm gone."
>Wait, what is she talking abo-
>April jumps up and whines like a real puppy as she runs off
>Now you're very worried
>June is panicking and whining from the sudden responsibility
>Today is going to be worrying
"Sh-she's gonna be okay, right?"
>You think so
"H-here, stay here and I'll go make sure!"
>June hands the paper bag with the remaining cupcakes to you
>She runs off next and you can almost hear her talking with the teacher by the bathroom
>June sounds pretty sorry about the whole ordeal
>She comes back without any of the wagging from before and sits down next to you
"She's gonna be in the bathroom for a bit but she's gonna be okay."
>You almost want to know why she's in there but don't ask
>The pair of you eat your snacks silently
>June's cupcakes are actually pretty good
>No wonder April didn't realize there was chocolate, it's all tucked into a ball in the center
>When you tell June you like them you feel her tail wagging behind you
"My mom did mosta the work."
>You've finished your snacks before long and April is still missing
>The holst teacher comes by and asks if you'll be alright without April
>It'll be a bit boring, but you'll be okay as long as you don't try to do anything
>She offers to help entertain you for today, but you don't feel like hearing more books read to you
>June seems to sense your disappointment
"April told me to take care of him, so I'll play with Anon!"
>The teacher asks if you're alright with that
>You nod
>She's satisfied with that leaves you alone so she can call your mother just in case April needs some medicine for whatever is happening
>And you're left alone with June
"So, what were ya doing before with April?"
>You tell her you were trying the slide out
"Wanna try some other stuff?"
>You don't say anything, but she gets the message
"O-only what you want ta do! We can just stick with the slide, or go with the see-saw, or even just play with a ball!"
>She sounds rather nervous about the whole affair
>You ask what the see-saw is
"Yknow, the- oh! Uhm, it's like a big long stick with seats on the ends with a thingy keeping the center up! And it like... two people sit on it, and when one goes down the other goes up a bit. The ones here only go up a little ways though."
>That doesn't sound that bad
>Or maybe you just have some extra courage after conquering the slide
>Either way, you agree to it
>June's attitude improves considerably
>You feel her take one of your hands in her two paws as she tugs at you
"Lets go try it out!"
>Those paws sure are larger than April's
>And a lot warmer too
>But you stand up and let June lead the way
>You've gotten a good map of the place in your head, but a guide makes things easier
>She brings you to the see-saw and sits you down on one of the soft seats
>She starts to move away before coming back, taking your hands and putting them onto a bar with rubber grips
>That's a lot more comforting
>She moves to the other side and gets on
>You can feel your seat rising up off the ground
>But the tips of your shoes can still feel the sand below, so you don't freak out
>You lower down a few moments later, feet planted on the ground
"Now you push up!" June instructs
>Getting the idea, you push off the ground with your legs as June moves down again
>This process repeats for a while, but it's hardly exciting
>You make sure to inform June of this
"Okay, lets try something else next!"
>Once you're back down on the ground on your side she hops off and runs back by your side
>Somehow you feel like she wasn't making it go that fast out of worry for you
>Either way you can feel her excitement just bleeding off of her
"How about the merry go round? It's like a table you sit on and it spins around when someone pushes it! And it can't go that fast because of mechamisms. I can still make sure you don't fall off though!"
>That sounds fine, though you are a bit worried
>She shows you to the merry-go-round and has the other kids on it stop the thing so you can get on
>June helps guide you on and moves your hand to one of the plastic bars that serve as handholds for it
>You're seated towards the edge, though June is between you and spilling off
>It doesn't seem the exciting until the other kids start moving it
>The pull towards the outside freaks you out a bit, but you bear with it
>June's tail keeps batting against your legs as you keep your grip strong
>The thing just seems to get faster and faster
>Then you feel something strange with your head you haven't felt before
>You begin to tell June you're ready to get off when your hands slip
>Panic strikes you as you begin sliding off the contraption
>June yelps and you feel the bigger girl jump into you at the last moment
>She bears the brunt of the fall into the sand as you land on top of her, knocking the air out of her lungs
>Your head just keeps spinning, so you don't try to get up
>She's more solid than April is
>June sits you up and checks you over, brushing some sand off your clothes
"Are you okay?!"
"June's crying guys!"
"Am not!"
>They continue to bicker as you try and stand up, only to drop onto your bottom
>You're worried and ask what's going on
>That get's the heckpup's attention away from the other girls she'd been arguing with
"I think you're just dizzy. You've never been busy before?"
>Well, you don't think so
>You feel a June pull you into a big strong hug before releasing you
"Sorry I almost made you get hurt..."
>Well, she did save you from that
>And it wasn't really her fault
>You can still hear her sniffling
>Just as your head stops spinning you hear the teacher call for naptime
>It's just the excuse you needed to have June take your hand and lead you back inside away from the teasing of the other kids nearby
>She takes you to one of the soft mats set out and helps you lay down
"Are you sure you're okay?" She asks again
>You assure her you are
>You ask if she's alright
"Well, I might have fallen a bit hard...can I nap next to you?"
>The question is nothing but sincere
>And April usually snuggles up next to you anyways
>So you agree to it
>The tail doesn't start again but June plops down near you, giving some space but staying close enough you can be sure she's there from the smell of smokey ash
>After such an exciting day, it's easy to get to sleep for your nap
>When you wake up, it's from the soft voice of your mother as she strokes your hair
>June is gone already, but you're more worried about April
>She usually wakes you up
>When you ask where April is your mother explains she took her home once she could get off the toilet
>She's resting there with some good food and treats to help her recover
>You feel bad for April, but are mostly a bit lonely as your mother guides you out to the car
>It's also pretty boring without April telling you about everything you're driving by
>So when you get back home you move off on your own, since you know she's on the couch
>You know your house like the back of your hand so you don't bump into anything on the way
"Hey anon, sorry I wasn't with you today..." April apologizes, whining like it's her fault
>Well, it sort of is but you aren't going to say that
>You just find her on the couch and lean in to give her the biggest, tightest hug you could muster
>"I missed you April."
>She doesn't respond right away
>But the tail inside the blanket tries to wag furiously
>She hugs you back and giggles
"I missed you today too Anon! I'll be more careful what I eat!"

    >It's a sunny saturday morning
    >You know because you can feel the heat of the light coming in the windows
    >Breakfast is done and you're just watching the new cartoons for this week with April
    >She's more excited than usual, you can feel the speed her tail is going
    >And she keeps hopping up when she hears any vehicle drive by to see who it is
    >Only to return to her seat after
    >June is coming over for a sleepover, and May will be coming over later for the same reason
    >Despite the cupcake incident, April started getting along really well with the heckpup
    >Guess she started trusting her after she heard how well she did taking care of you
    >Having two excited puppies following you around everywhere at the daycare is a bit embarrassing, but at least May isn't any trouble
    >The kitten has remained a bit shy around you though
    >The doorbell has April leaping up and running for the door
    "I'll get it!"
    >You hear the door open and four sets of small padded feet rush back towards you
    >April gets back into her spot, and the second smoky smelling pup plops down on the other side
    "Hi anon! Whatcha watching?"
    >You're pretty sure it's the newest Power Sailors episode
    >It's a commercial right now
    >For something called the 'Oozinator'
    >It sounds sticky
    >You can hear your mother and June's mother talking about where the bigger heckhound will sleep that night
    >Guess she'll be staying the night too
    >You already know the kids will sleep in the living room tonight
    >The coffee table has already been moved to the side to make space
    >April wants to wait till you're all there to make the fort though
    >She explained that it was sort of like a house, but would be made with pillows and blankets
    >The doorbell rings again
    >A repeat of last time, April jumps up to get it
    >She runs back, but you hardly hear May until she's right behind you
    >Cats sure are good at sneaking
    "H-hi anon. Hi J-june."
    "Hi Ma-WOW! That's a really cool sleeping bag!"
    >What are they talking about?
>They let May explain, staying quiet till she gets the message
"Uhm... I-it looks like a koi fish." She explains
>You don't really know what that looks like
>She apologizes with a squeak, before putting something down in front of you
>You feel at it, trying to get a good image of what it is
>A big 'mouth' lets someone enter it
>There are a few decorative fins on it's large body
>And it's somehow soft, yet keeps it's full shape
>But most importantly, it's gigantic
>You're not even sure how May dragged the thing in on her own
>It has to be able to fit two fully grown people
>She must not like being cramped in a sleeping bag
>It is pretty cool though
"My mom got it just fo-for today, so it's brand new." May admits
"Can we try it out?!" April asks, bouncing in place
>May must have nodded, because April begins slipping inside it right away
"Hey, the tongue is the pillow!"
>June moves around you to check it out
>May is quiet, and you can almost hear her embarrassment
>There are some noises in the kitchen, but you shrug it off as lunch being made and listen to the show when it comes back on
>Then you hear an adult voice you assume is June's mother
"Where's the pup that wanted to learn to bake?!"
>April wiggles out of the fish and scampers over, yipping "Me! Me! Me!"
"I'll help!" June shouts, leaping up and running after April
>It just leaves you and May alone
>Except for the fish
>She sits down a short distance from you, and you're both quiet for a bit
>It starts to get to you though
>You ask if something is wrong
>May takes a few seconds to respond
"U-uhm... w-w-well... I just c-can't stop th-thinking about... w-well... I don't r-remember what it w-was like wh-when you petted me..."
>She's pretty nervous about this
>And probably embarrassed
>Not that you aren't too
>Without thinking, you suggest doing it again
>It sinks in at the same time for you two
"Okay..."
>The kitten slides over next to you
>You can feel the nervous shaking through the loose clothes she's wearing
>You're not so sure about this anymore, but you can't back out now
>Carefully you feel your fingertips up to her head
>When you find it, you begin stroking the shaking kitten's head
>The shaking calms down after a bit, and it helps she's a bit smaller than you
>Then you hear something familiar
>It's faint, but she's started purring
>Which makes it even harder to hear what show has come on now
>You think it's that show about digital monster girls
"What kinda cookies do you want anon?!"
>April's voice seems to push May over some threshold, and she tips over onto the fish
>Out like a light
"What happened?" April asks, cluelessly
>You just say she wanted a nap
>And that you would like butterscotch cookies
"Okay!" Yips April
>She scampers back to the kitchen
>You get a bit of quiet time now, though the long furry thing on your lap gets your attention
>You quickly realize it's May's tail
>So that's how cats and dogs are different
>Besides the other stuff
>Lunch comes and goes, and you get cookies after
>They're pretty good, which makes the puppies happy
>You can feel the chill in the air, so it's not surprising when you're kept inside due to the rain
>The four of you make due making the fort and watching some videos June brought with her
>Though only half of them have descriptive audio
>It's still fun helping prop the pillows and other things up, even if you have to do it several times
>Eventually the mothers bring in the table from the storage room, which makes the process a lot easier
>June keeps asking questions anytime April helps you with anything
>And April is happy to answer them
>You're not sure you need two guide puppies
>Huddled under the table, you four begin to enjoy the chicken and fries that the adults ordered while some movie about mice in australia trying to save a boy from a poacher and his lizardgirl wife
>And the giant eagle harpy that the poachers are trying to catch
>Eating with your fingers isn't new to you, but it's the first time you've had chicken
>It's a bit of an adventure eating around the bones
>May seems to really like it, since she keeps asking for more
>Saying she doesn't mind being too full for the cake
>Until you all get the cake
>April doesn't get any, since it's chocolate, so she gets a creamsicle instead
>But as you're finishing, you can sense the nervousness spreading through the girls
>The rain and wind has picked up, and hail patters against the windows
>Your dad has to run inside to get away from it
>Seems there will be a pretty big storm that night
>The first rumble of thunder makes both canines yelp and scurry further into the fort
>It is a bit freaky for your young self, but you've heard it before
>A clingy cat latches onto your back, hiding her face in it
>The adults in the room just giggle and chuckle at the four of you
>You try and reassure the group, but a second louder crack of thunder only gets more doggish yelps and whines from two of the girls
>And those claws are needle sharp
"S-sorry!" May whines, letting go and freeing you from her claws
>With the helpers disabled from fright, the adults take care of cleaning up and leave the four of you alone
>You're nervous about being the only one not terrified of the increasingly common rumbles in the sky
>The three huddle up behind you
>Jumping anytime the loud bang of lightning cracks nearby
>The claws on your chest are the worst part
>Getting fed up with it, you pull May in front of you and sit her down in the hole of your crossed legs
>She seems to get warmer from you holding her like this, but she calms down
>And the pups are too scared to care
>It makes watching the movies a bit harder
>Towards the end of the last one, the storm picks up to an extreme
>A thundercrack comes by at least ten times a minute
>April actually screams
>Before you realize it, the two canines drag you and May backwards and into the fish
>Cramped inside there, two shaking pups cling to you from either side and keep you pinned down
>May probably has the worst of it, pinned below you
>But at least she can breath
>With the storm not letting up, you can tell it'll be a long night
>You wake up in much the same position you spent the night in
>It's stuffy, cramped, but cozy somehow
>You ask if any of them are awake
"Y-yeah."
>April still seems scared
>Even though it sounds like the storm stopped
>But the other two are still out like lights
>Probably got to sleep and need to catch up on what they lost
>You try and wiggle out of the fish bag to go empty your aching bladder
>For the fact nobody wet themselves, you're very thankful
>But April clings to you extra tightly
"D-don't go, what if th-the storm comes back?!"
>She's definitely still scared
>You try and reassure her the best way your young mind can think of
>Telling her the storm must be extra sleepy after playing so long last night
>It actually works
>But she gets out first to make sure
>You slip out and feel your way out from under the table to stand up
>By the time you manage this, April is done
"The storm went home! And there is a HUGE puddle in the street!"
>You're more worried about the bathroom, so you head right for it
>When you return, the other two are up and calling for you in mild fright
>April seems to have run upstairs to use that bathroom
>You tell them it's safe
>They're careful getting out, but run right for the bathrooms once they're out
>A rather odd sleepover
>You hear your mother in the kitchen, so you head there to see what breakfast will be
"Thunderbirds fighting? No wonder it was so crazy last night!"
"Wish they told us which one won!" June's mother comments
"Hey sweetie, how did you sleep last night?~"
>It was cramped
>This just makes the pair laugh
>You wish you knew what was funny
