***FUREGON***

World Notes:-

In the world or Furegon there live many races, Mice, Cats,

Dogs, Foxes, Humans and even a few Elves. Most of the races live

in there own territory's but some live in the multi racial Human

cities. Most of the large Cities in Furegon are Human made ones,

they have the most need for artificial dwellings. Some animal

types have become used to living in them as well, namely the Mice

and Dogs. The planet Furegon is the well and the depository of my

characters and their live’s. Some have a brief span in the spot

light but all get there chance.

Mice are the smallest of the furry species that dwell on

Furgon. Most of them live in Human cities or on the fringes. The

average size is usually 3-4ft in adulthood. But that is not the

unbroken rule some can be much smaller or larger. Mice became one

of Man's biggest helpers, Mice supplied the labor for most Human

cities. The exchange is fair tho, because the Humans helped the

mice technologically.

Cats tend to live in small tribes on the wild lands but some

have been known to live in Human cities. One on one cats are very

pleasurable creatures but in tribes they get very intolerant of

non-cat outsiders. The ancient war between the mice and cats was

ended when the Humans arrived on Furegon. Cats have the most pull

when it comes to the wilderness the only other ones who even come

close are the foxes. Cats are typically 4-6ft in height but just

as the mice it varys some times dramatically. Most cat tribes

stay out of man's territory but some wander about.

Dogs are man's best friend besides mice. dogs came with man

to the planet Furegon. Along time ago before man started to

travel the stars they made dogs as a companion race. After many

centuries they became symbiotic in nature going out of each

others way to help each other. Dogs come in many varied colors and

sizes it's almost impossible to state the averages. Dogs live

amongst and around Humans some have been known to even choose a

Human mate, this just shows the closeness of the two.

Foxes are the native canine species to the planet Furegon.

Foxes have been partially accepted by humans but not cause of

there skittish nature. Some foxes live near Human cities but

almost never in them. A lot of the nature loving foxes have

chosen to live alone in far off villages. Foxes average size is

4-5ft but usually not much bigger.

Humans have come to Furegon from a planet in the solar

system. I has been about 200yrs now since the first colony ship

arrived. Most humans like the natural wonder and variety

especially the furry life forms that inhabit it. Some humans have

learned magic on the planet Equine, but that is a long story.

After their first visit they made a partnership with the mice,

labor in exchange for technology. Early in human time they

created dogs not the ones you and i know but sentient talking

walking dogs. After centuries time they became symbiotic in

nature, some humans dwell in purity but most do not. Human cities

are the biggest on the planet, they usually just build around the

colony ship and go from there. Some furry species have left

Furegon and joined the space faring Humans.

Elves are a small portion in the population total. Some

elves long ago came with the Humans from Equine, the elves home

world. Most elves know magic and have been known to live 4 to 5

hundred years easy, usually only mishap ends a elf’s life. Elves

seem to very much like the cat people of Furegon. Some times it

common to see a elf mated to a cat. One thing very strange is

that if a elf mates a cat they can still have offspring, tho the

mother's breed is chosen.

Some parts of Furegon are thick forests where no man has

tread. Most of the forests have been around since any one can

remember. In the oldest forests are guardians, Forrest protectors

some are cats most are foxes. On some protectors the ability’s

known as super powers has been known to show up. In the cities

some super furries have shown up, but only in the last decade.

The Humans who live on Furegon claim it is evolution, but other

claim it is the spirit of Furegon making the champions for a

great battle. The humans who live on Furegon have kept in contact

with their home world. Almost no one who comes from Furegon is

allowed onto the human planet. Only the ambassador from each race

is allowed to go to the human planet. Once long ago on Furegon the

humans set up weather generators and no adverse weather has been

known of since.

There are 5 main human cities on Furegon, Charvallis,

Mousetown, Elvton, Hope and Birth Valley. Most of the larger

cities on Furegon are human ones, but all are welcome but must

obey local laws. Some native cities are known to exist of the

maps but there mostly mice ones. One great cat city is known of

but it is only open to others in the day, after that it, it is pass

only.

Charvallis is the second biggest city on Furegon, the first

is Birth Valley. Charvallis is the home of most of the characters

involved, but not all. In Charvallis there is a large mice and

dog population that live with the humans. Most of the minor

construction work is done by the mice, but humans manage the

large building equipment. About 50,000 people make it there home

with another 60,000 furry inhabitants. The city is placed between

mountain ranges, and 40 miles from the coast.

Mousetown is the mice run and owned city, the only city mice

named. The name speaks for it's self, mostly mice but some foxes

live there as well. Only 30,000 humans live in Mousetown, but

90,000 mice live there and a stable population of 1,000 foxes

have made it there home also. The humans who live in Mousetown

have become used to being the smaller number but don't seem to

mind, since mice are a polite people. Mice built all the city of

Mousetown, Humans guided them and it was there first use of the

building factories. Most of the buildings are a little smaller

than humans are normally used to, to make it easier for the mice.

Elvton is the only human city with elves still living in it.

Many years ago elves built the city but humans soon made it their

homes too. After about 50yrs humans decided to make life easier

with current technology. Soon the elves left drifting into the

deep woods of Furegon, few live in Elvton now. The Elves who

stayed were the human raised ones, the elders left. Now years

later the young ones left have began calling community meetings

and now are the sole producers of Faye Wine. The elders in the

woods sighed but could not halt the exploitation of there ancient

ways. 1,500 elves now live in Elvton, where as it was up to

50,000. The furries of Furegon have always liked the elves and

now a flourishing mice and cat populations make the total

population somewhere around 70,000.

Hope is the Human magic city, at least furries call it that.

The Humans have made Hope the Hospital city or Furegon. All the

furries on Furegon find Hope a place of magic. The Humans know

this to be a great place of science, tho a few magic schools are

open in hope. The main reason furries find it magical is cause of

the brightly lit super structures. The city is mainly human but a

broken up amount of furries live there also. Some of the furries

who live in Hope have learned magic so a few furry mages are

known of. Total human population is somewhere around 55,000 and

another 37,000 furries make it there home.

Birth Valley is the landing spot of the first colony ship.

The city sprung up around the ship, Mice helped build the

structures that are there today. Birth Valley was the site of the

meetings of races, all commerce goes through birth valley. The

Humans regularly send shuttles to space stations in orbit. Furries

find this to be the most law enforced place the humans live. Some

Humans have lived there whole lives without seeing the other

cities. Today Birth Valley is a booming metropolis of peoples,

all kinds even elves. The current human populations are 120,000

and 12,000 elves. The furries that live there have begun to

Assimilate into human society.

Other races live on Furegon then the norms stated. Rabbits,

Minks and others are known to exist but live in small bands.

Today the other races maybe number in the hundreds of thousands.

Once long ago they were in the millions but war has hacked the

numbers down considerably.

NOTE FROM CHARRIO

I am breaking this book up into sections by the person's

life. Each will have a start and a ending, Some begin at the end.

I plan to cover the furry lives mostly, tho a few humans shine

here also. This is not a adventure book or a spicy drama, this is

a book shadowing the lives of my characters. I hope you enjoy my

work in this book along with the art.

CHARRIO :)

The dreams we dream, the loves we love, the people we meet,

the places we see. This is what makes up us, who says it doesn't

make it them also.

***CLAIR***

Sorry mom I gotta go, the phone disconnects and drops on the

couch in front of her legs. White fur and a pink button nose,

short hair which is custom to mice. A look of slight

disappointment washes over her face. The hotel she is staying at

is a very nice one but a bit big, built for humans and all.

Slowly Clair gets up and walks to the bed and sighs falling on

the bed she curls up, this is her first night alone away from

home. The departure replays in her mind, Walking to the door with

ticket in hand. A slight sob escapes as she recalls being so

happy to go to dance school. Now she feels so alone, homesick and

scared. After a while slowly she rises and walks to the shower,

“huh at least this is the right size.”

After a shower she felt much more refreshed and renewed.

Clair was a born dancer and always loved it, it was a friend who

said that she should go to dance school. Now Clair was beginning to

think school might not be the place for her. But she dismissed it

as nervousness, and continued on her journey. After another day

in a sky bus, Clair arrived in Charvallis. Once at the bus port

she was amazed, so many huge people and buildings. Clair was

raised in a mice made town and was not used to towering

buildings. "Move it", said a rude old mouse, quickly she jumped

aside into a young man. He practically towered over her, she

wasn't big for a mouse and he was a tall man. He had a clean

shaven face, dressed in service clothes and youthful eyes,

"pardon me" was all Clair could reply to the man. There were so

many people here of all breeds, not just mice and man there were

dogs and she saw a fox and a rabbit. It took her some time of

walking until she found a open cab. With a huff she got in the

back with her two bags. The driver was a dog, a smart looking guy,

"where ya wanna go lass"? Clair replied "to the 2-paw dance

school" and the driver needed no further instructions. After a

brief silence the driver asked, "so ya dancer miss?” Clair

quietly replied, "Well kind of but I still need pointers".

She tipped the driver, grabbed her bags and walked to the

gates. The school was set on the north corner of the city.

Concrete streets and low top buildings getting higher towards the

center. A lot of small shops were set around the school and a set

park was close in view. The gates were made of a fine shiny

copper metal, and stood 10ft high. Clair looked like a mouse next

to them, no pun intended. She looked around and saw a button with

a speaker above it. A flash of hesitation washed over her, she

considered not pushing the button. With use of willpower she

pushed the large button, swallowing hard. After a bit, "Krazzapp

may i help you kzzzp" a light voice said. Clair quickly replied

that she was a scholarship student and had just arrived. After a

while a young dog miss came out and opened the gates. She

welcomed Clair and introduced herself as Heather. The estate was

large and it had a fountain and flowing lawns.

Page:2

Clair was walked up the main pathway witch was paved with

soft cool clay. Heather informed Clair it was for them, This was

a Fox run school so most of the conveinces are for fur kind.

There was a human here and there but none at the school now,

Clair giggled. Heather was a talkative type but Clair just

listened and giggled. After the short walk they found the main

building, it was fox built alright. The building had a huge dome

and was just above ground large windows rimmed the dome. The main

entrance was a oval and had large oak doors. The door had a fine

crafted engraving of, it looked to Clair as a Family tree.

Heather informed Clair that it was indeed the Foxes family tree.

The doors opened with a feather touch, Clair was surprised

and it was Heathers turn to giggle. The inside was lavishly

furnished, and the air was rose scented. Inside they found the

lady waiting for them in the living den. Den's are the term for

room in a furry house. The lady was a credit to her breed, fine

long red fur and a hint of white on her palms. She was dressed in

a short black skirt with tights and a dark red button blouse. She

was easily twice Clairs height. After a moment of introduction

she learned the mistress’s name was Amber. Amber was a kind and

gentle woman but she was very business like when it came to

school. After a brief introduction into the rules of the school,

Clair was taken on a tour guided by Heather. Heather informed

Clair since she was a new student that she would be her den mate

to help guide her. Clair was shown the classrooms, the cafeteria,

the pool room, the gym, the stage, and the student dens.

The den Clair was sharing with Heather was big by her

standards. Heather's home stuff was all over her side witch was

defined by a paint job. The mistress decided to have all rooms

painted that way to diminish squabbling. The bed was a big soft

mattress with soft satin sheets, and a red comforter saying welcome

Clair. Clair was surprised and delighted, things are gonna work

out just fine, she said. Two bags didn't take much time to unpack

and the classes didn't start until tomorrow. Heather suggested a

walk to the park close by. Clair loved parks and wilderness, she

was raised in a mouse town and wilderness is always close by.

They arrived at the park about a hour before sunset. Heather

walked over to the swings and took a seat. Clair followed behind

and took the swing next to her. The park was deserted, the two of

them took the time while swinging to talk. Heather listened to

the story of how Clair got chosen for the scholarship. Clair

learned that Heather was a only child who was sent to learn

dancing per her parents orders. Heather didn't like being told

what to do with her life, but didn't want to disappoint them. This

was going to be her 3rd year at 2-Paws. After awhile they made

there way back to the school and to their den. After the walk

they felt a little hungry, so they went to the cafeteria.

Page:3

Clair and Heather arrived at the cafeteria. The place was

busy for it was about dinner time. The other students looked up

and took notice of the new girl. Heather steered Clair towards

the food, they took a tray each. The food was a mixture of

delicious delights, from Strawberry shortbread to T-bone steaks.

Clair and Heather sat a table with a bunch of Heather's friends.

There was Marcy, Mabel, Joyce, Deanna and Wendy. Clair instantly

got along with them, she was the same age as Marcy. Clair and

Marcy would be in the same classes since it was Marcy's first

year also. Marcy invited Clair to come over to her room to meet

her den mate. After a brief goodbye to her new friends, Marcy and

Clair went to Marcy's den. When they got there, they found

Marcy's den mate working on a book assignment. Marcy introduced

Nora to Clair, Nora was a fox she had grey silky fur. Nora pushed

up the glasses on her snout and welcomed Clair politely and

hurriedly. Nora was kind but curt for she was busy, Marcy informed

Clair that Nora was always this way when she was busy.

The two of them sat down on Marcy's bed and talked awhile.

Marcy was a cat and she was very innocent in her thinking,

which is why Clair and her got along so well. They conversed

about everything family, friends, boys, finally Nora looked up at

the clock and said "dreary me". It was about 11:57pm, "bed time

young ladies" Nora snapped half playing. Clair went to her den,

she got lost for a moment then found the way. Clair quietly

arrived and opened the fine oak door. Heather was reading a book

as Clair stepped in, "it's about time young miss" Heather said

with a giggle. After getting ready for bed Heather and Clair sat

up a short while talking. Soon sleep's grasp had Heather but

Clair had trouble sleeping due to the new surrounding and a new

school.

That night Clair had a strange dream, when sleep found her.

She dreamed she was in a sunny valley surrounded by lush grassy

fields. The air smelled of lilac, and birds sounded the spring.

Clair was sitting there in the valley, on a lawn chair and

drinking cool lemonade. She sees a white oval marble table

sitting next to her, and beyond that is a white fox. The fox

casually introduces himself as Silverpaw. "I welcome you to my

home Clair" kindly speaks Silverpaw. Clair is Surprised he knows

her name, "do i know you?" asks Clair. Quickly he replies "No, but

I know you my child" as he sips his drink. Just as Clair as

about to ask how, she was awoke by the alarm buzzing.

Heather sat-up and turned it off, she was in her jammies and

her hair was in a bun for the night. Clair woke up and rolled out

of bed the soft clay floor was warm. Heather was already in the

shower, clair had to wait so she made coffee, with Heather's

maker she had in the room. Soon the shower was free and Clair

stepped in, Heather thanked Clair for making coffee. In the

shower Clair recalled her strange dream. What did he mean, I

don't know him and he knows me, huh oh well it's a new day.

9-23-2K Page:4

After the shower Clair felt awake and ready for the day's

challenges. The day's classes were light, most of the time was a

get to know everybody time. During lunch Clair met up with

Heather and they talked about class. Clair had Mistress Amber as

a teacher in dance basics. After classes Clair went to her room

to unload the books placed into her care by her teachers. She had

books on Math, Language, Poetry, Physics and Dance theory.

Heather assured her, homework was not too hard and that she could

do it. After a short time Clair had finished her homework and

headed out into the grounds. Heather was busy with a friend who

stopped by, and wanted to show her the new steps she learned from

a friend.

Alone walking the big busy halls, there were about 50

students at 2-Paws. The Halls had people walking to and fro,

Amber waved hello from a loud group of girls. Males it would seem

don't care for Ambers teaching methods, she can be quite cruel

sometimes. Amber had made it a policy never to admit males into

her school, after one had left a young girl carrying his child.

Clair kinda missed having boys around, she used to flirt just as

much as the next young girl. In her wondering Clair found the

back courtyard, it was in bloom and the flowers made a colorful

mosaic. Stepping into the bright sunlight, Clair saw a pair of

mice sitting under a oak tree. She walked up and introduced

herself, they informed her their names were, April and May. They

were sisters who came to the school a summer ago. April invited

Clair to join them under the oak and have a drink of the cider

they brought. The two of them came from a mouse town close to

Clair's. "So your from Hazek" Clair asked, "uh huh" replied May.

Apirl was a brown mouse and her sister May was just a shade or

two lighter.

After a while the three of them were talking like old

friends, they knew they same territory. Clair was finishing her

second cup of cider, when she noticed the time. She said goodbye

and thank you to April and May. The sun had started to set and

the shadows were getting longer. Walking briskly she went to her

den and Heather was no where around. Using the moment alone,

Clair jumped into the shower. After a quick wash and dry, she

headed toward the good food smells from the cafeteria. Heather

was at a table with Joyce, they welcomed her. Clair was starving

she found and ate till her hearts content. "The school is having

a movie tonight" mentioned Joyce over her pudding. Heather

thought a moment, "no thanks, you Clair?""I'll see it once at

least" Clair replied. The movie was a love story, Clair cried at

the end as she always did at sad endings.

After the movie Clair felt tired and done for the day. Clair

thanked Joyce for joining her, and walked to her den. Heather was

asleep when Clair entered, the movie had ended at midnight. So

quietly she dressed for bed and crawled under the cover and went

to sleep. Dreams of mundane life came to her, no strange fox.

Page:5

Days passed then weeks, soon months had flown by and Clair

had become one of the best dancers at the school. Clair was

approaching her first year at 2-Paws, Heather was finishing up

her last year. It was early June, the winds were warm so the classes were finishing up outside with early summer. Clair was just finishing her last class of the day, wiping the sweat from her brow with a soft white towel. The Instructor Amber had seen Clair's natural talent for dance and asked her early in the year to assist her. The other students were breaking up after class, but Marcy stayed. The sun was at it's afternoon high, it's light shown brightly on the marble fountain. Marcy helped Clair and Amber, collect the dance equipment.

Amber asked Marcy to take the towels inside, while having the moment alone Amber asked, " Clair so i have a proposal to ask". Clair trying to hide her excitement asked, "What would that be, mam"? Amber raised a eyebrow and placed her hand on Clair’s shoulder, replying "You have great talent and i think from what i have seen, I am gonna advance you a year, if you're up to it." Clair was speechless, she was thinking of the Summer dance coming up. All that Clair could do was nod, and sputter "Thanks mom" tears were starting and she didn't have the heart to hold them back. Amber started to cry after the mom mix up, Amber hugged Clair and they both cried the moment away. Marcy was coming back and just caught them wiping their eyes, and recomposing themselves. Clair hugged Amber and caught sight of Marcy and ran over to tell the good news. Marcy was a bit jealous but knew it was right, for Clair was a very good dancer for her age. Amber finished up and said a brief goodbye, Clair could see that she wanted to be alone.

Clair took Marcy to find Heather and tell her the good news. Heather was at the pool swimming laps. The two of them made funny faces until Heather couldn't ignore them swimming, so she swam up and hopped out. Clair relayed the year advance, and Heather hugged Clair and said well from all the work you do, you deserve it. The three of them went to Clair and Heather's den. The early evening was spent gossiping and talking, after which Clair went off on her own needing some think time. Clair missed her mom so much, she had gotten a letter recently and her thoughts were of home. Amber had been like a mom to her, always making sure her work was done and making sure she was ok.

Some time earlier in the year Clair learned that Amber had once a family and a mate but accident took them from her. They were in a skybus that was hit by a malfunctioning shuttle, both were destroyed on impact. Amber had lost her two pups and mate in that crash, Clair knew she lost alot more then just that. Amber never brought it up, and it was by the other instructors that she learned. Clair couldn't get the mom word out of her mind, Amber had broken into tears when she slipped up. Clair decided to see Amber and talk awhile, she was a gentle woman and always made time when needed. Clair walked the quieted hallways, the scent of rose was always in the school and it got heavier near Amber's den. Clair knocked on the fine oak door, which had a smaller fox family tree engraved in it.

Amber answered it, opening the door and wiping her eyes, she had been crying. Clair asked weakly, "are you all right mam", Amber sighed and said "not really, what can i do for you". Clair asked Amber is she would like to talk, Amber after a heavy sigh beckoned Clair to come in and sit. Inside Amber's room was lavishly furnished more then the rest of the school, rich tapestry’s and carpets were everywhere. The scent of rose was very strong in the room, Clair saw the incense burning next to a picture of a white fox and two young pups, a boy and a girl. The boy was a copy of his father and the girl was a bright orange, both very cute. Amber noticed Clair looking at the alter, Amber said quietly "my late husband and pups" her voice was cracking and she was starting to draw fresh tears. Clair heard the crack in her voice and turned to hug Amber, While hugging Clair whispered "It's all right, please know i think of you as a mom to me." Amber quaked with grief as the words hit her, Long moments passed and finally Amber pulled away and wiped her eyes.

Amber said grief still in her throat, "you are a daughter to me". Clair started crying now, what was their names if you don't mind my asking? Amber replied, "Cubby my son and Terra my little girl" Amber had to quiet the fresh tears before she could go on. After sitting down, she continued "Silverpaw the handsome one in the picture over there, he was, NO is my love". "Sometimes i can still hear him" Amber had to stop. Clair was sitting open mouthed, it now dawned on her that it was Silverpaw who welcomed her in her dreams. Amber was starting to compose her self again, Clair didn't know if she should mention her dream. Clair suggested a new topic like dance, Amber took it up and they talked into the wee hours of the night.

2-6-2K2

After her chat with Amber Clair was feeling drained and very exhausted. Clair was headed for her den, when she was caught by surprise by another student walking back to her den. They almost walked right into each other, It was Kira a 1st year fur as well. Kira was a mouse like Clair, Tho Kira was a dark grey with a streak of brown down her nose and side fur. Kira apologized and said she was just getting done with cramming for a history test tomorrow. Clair smiled meekly and said she was in a hurry and scampered off to bed.

That night as she lay down to rest and think, Sleep overtook her minutes after her head hits the pillow. During her sleep she had a long and vivid dream. In the Dream Clair found herself a ghost, Incapable of interacting or interfering in the events playing before her. The sights before her were of Darkness and fear, Shadows whispered and beckoned figures in the darkness, Movement in all directions can be heard over a choir of cave sounds. Soon a bright light appeared in the room, Revealed by the light were a score of 8 what can only be described as Demons. Crouched around a small glowing Pentacle, In the back of the light at the shadows edge were several large horned snouts. Floating right above the Pentacle was a Small circle of daylight. As Clair’s eyes grew accustomed to the light she saw a picture or rather pictures flick past the light much like a view screen. The largest of the red skinned horned figures whispers something to another and the image in the light shows the Capital of Furegon, Birth Valley.

The image flicks and a blinding light is emitted and Clair finds herself at the center of the 2934 great bombing. Horrors are around her in all forms, Demons walk the street slaying all in sight, Demonic draconic forms fly the sky cindering buildings and people in their wake. She stands in shock and fear watching the city center burn and crumble, Bot sentries and Battle Mages Portal in from all sides What seems like hours or intense battle goes bye in minutes, the Demons returning to hell or wherever they came from. Some lay dead and dying but most rift away. Clair was about to turn and run as her senses came back, but a paw on her shoulder held her, she looked over to see, Silverpaw. He looked down at Clair and sighed, “sorry you had to see that” “why?” Squeaked Clair. “Because I want you to know what is coming” Looking dreadful. “This was 5yrs ago, a test” Clair was dumbfounded, she knew demons and Dragons lived on other worlds and magic was available. Silverpaw lifts his hand and caresses Clair’s cheek, “It begins, soon”.

Clair woke with a start and a fright, she was still in bed and at school. She looked around Heather was sleeping like a log, snoring slightly, the clock read 3:23am. She had only slept a hour, she tried to get some more sleep but visions of Horror kept replaying in her head, she stayed awake the whole night. Tears flowing from her white muzzle, lying on her side facing the wall. Heather woke and saw Clair crying and came over placing a paw on her shoulder lightly. “What’s wrong Clair?”, Heather asked with a tone of fear cracking her voice. Clair had never been like this in all the time she knew her. Clair quietly whispered, “I need to go home”, and shuddered but fought it back now that Heather was up.

After a shower Clair felt better but really bad for she had to tell Lady Amber she was going home. Clair had to know and make sure home was ok, She couldn’t call, this was something she had to do.

Lady Amber was sad but after Clair explained what had happened, and told Amber about Silverpaw. “I want you to let me buy you a ticket home by spacetrain” She stood a moment as if composing a thought. Clair was about to ask a question when Amber said “He showed me the same………” “I thought I was going insane” Amber fidgeted she never did that.

The next morning Clair was saying goodbye before her cab came when she learned the school was being dismissed early. All the students were off for the summer with another month vacation. After a long and tearful goodbye with her friends Clair was ready to go. Amber was waiting for her by the cab, She walked up to Amber and Hugged her not hiding or wanting to hide the tears that welled. “I’m gonna miss you so much”, Clair squeaked, “me too” Amber choked. “Well now you go home and know you have a home here” Amber spoke nare more then a whisper.

Clair entered the Cab and As she drove off she thought to herself, “I’m going home” A smile washed across her youthful face.
