Harley found a spot and jumped up, shifting into her fully grown form

Keri walked over to a tree and leaned back on it, watching everyone.

"So." Alton cleared his throat. "Thanks for catching me. Sometimes I wish I was a bigger animal, like a bear or something." He chuckled moodily. "But nope, I'm the little mouse. Although it does come in handy whenever I need to eavesdrop or sneak into places."

“Being a little animal is cool!” Maple interjected. She put her hands on her hips. “Sometimes,” she added with a small chuckle.

Harley heard voices and jumped down to see 2 people talking

"Yeah. I guess." Alton shrugged at Maple.
(wanna ship em)

Maple’s mouth quirked. “Maybe not when you’re falling from a tree or anything, but it totally is cool the rest of the time,” she said.

(Sure!)

Is Harley hiding or can they see her?//

"Yeah. That's must've hurt." Alton smiled awkwardly.
(yee)
(she's hidin)

“I’m okay, thanks to Sam! She saved me,” Maple said, smiling gratefully. “What’s your name, by the way? Mine’s Maple.”

"Alton." The smile because less awkward.

“Cool name,” Maple said. “So what’s it like being a mouse? I bet it’s fun.”

"We can't climb trees." Alton smiled shyly at her. "But it's really nice for eavesdropping or sneaking into places. Or scaring people. People are more scared of mice than you'd think."

“Ooh that’s awesome!” Maple exclaimed. “I bet you hear a lot of interesting stuff! When I’m a squirrel, all I do is climb trees or get chased by dogs.”

"Once I snuck in on my principal and watched the worst person in school get roasted by her." Alton smiled. "It was fun. But I bet being a squirrel is awesome."

Maple giggled. “That sounds funny,” she said. “And being a squirrel can be really exciting.”

"How so?" Alton tilted his head.

“Well I go all over the place,” she said, her face lighting up as she described it. “I climb trees, obviously, but I run across the ground too. I hear some conversations, but other squirrels can be pretty interesting too. It can be exhilirating.”

"I bet." He smiled at her lit face.

“Oh my gosh! I just had an idea! Squirrels aren’t that much bigger than mice; maybe we could like go exploring together or something!” She suggested.

"Yeah!" Alton's face lit up as well.

“This is so exciting!” Maple cheered, taking his hands and not realizing the sentiment of the gesture.

Alton blushed slightly, grinning.

“I could show you some of my favorite places to go and we could mess with people and sneak places and just run around! It’ll be awesome!” She smiled at him.

"It'll be great!" He agreed, smiling back.
