"So how have you been?" Cinderbelle asked me as she shared some kibble with me, hearing the scraping of the bowl being moved towards me. I shrugged as I turned my sightless gaze to my sister. It was great to talk with my little sister, she came all this way to find me. She arrived yesterday and we`ve been hanging out since. Me and my friends made sure Ana nor Bob would not notice. Incase if they decide for Cinderbelle to stay.

I chuckled uncertainly. "Heh, so much has happened over these couple months." I took a bite of some kibble. "It`s a complicated question to even answer"

"I don`t blame you." Cinderbelle replied as I continued to eat. " After all that has happened to you, I`d be unsure myself!"

"When do you have to go back to Arron and our family?" I asked.

"Today, I have to get home before Aaron visits here. Mother and Dad must know I`m gone by now." She moved the bowl as I heard her take some kibble.

"Mother?" I almost choked when replying from the kibble.

"Oh! I should of told you. Dad got back with Ember. His original girlfriend. After he got over mom. . ."

My gaze fell to where I think my paws are. Remembering mom made me remember the horror of her body lying in front of me. It was the last thing I ever saw of anything before I loss my sight.  Then I remembered the vision I had the first day I came to Puppy Play Care.

*Is there anyway they have a reason of being similar. Do they have a connection?*

"Ember? She`s-"

Cinderbelle replied. "Yes, she`s now our step-mother. We have a step-brother too, Bohdi. He`s the son of Ember and the son of the guy who dumped Ember after the kid was born." I could imagine her gritting her teeth as she continued. "I don`t understand why Dad would get over mom`s death in a few months."

I sighed, still looking down. "Dad must of been so desperate to take Ember. Kind of upsetting when you think about it." I instantly whipped my head up, remember what Cinderbelle mentioned. "Aaron is coming down here, you mentioned that. Right?"

I could picture her nodding her head. "Yes, he`s bring us with him and will keep us at Puppy Play Care until he finds a home for us to live there. He got promoted to a work place here. So we would be moving here."  I heard her get up, I got up on my paws also.

"I probably should start heading out." said Cinderbelle giving me a gentle nudge. "I`ll be back tomorrow."

"Be safe," I said.

"I will, Haven will help me get back." Her voice was warm whenever she talk about Haven.  "Haven is really nice, just wish we could spend more time often."

I smirked at Cinderbelle. "Maybe you should make some arrangements to hang out. Even though I have no vision to see it myself I could tell you like her."

She laughed nervously. "Y-you know? Oh for dog`s sake. Seriously Moonpie, you read me like a book." Her voice suddenly became teasingful. I could imagine her eyes glinting with the amusement she always had. " I notice you stare at a pup when she talks. I wouldn`t blame ya`. That girl would sweep me off my paws if Haven haven`t already."

I froze my sightless gaze turned at her. "Who are you meaning?" My fur felt hot with embarrassment knowing exactly who she was meaning. "She`s just a close friend-"

She gave me a friendly push as she giggled. "Maybe your feeling something else sister. Believe me I can read you like a book too. I know when someone grabs your attention."

I blinked at her. "I thought I was feeling something for her. . . But I wasn`t sure." I replied. "What if I am wrong and she doesn`t like me?"

"I can`t decide that. But you`ll never know unless you ask." I felt her embrace me with a hug. "I`ll talk to you tomorrow." She released me while the sound of her padding grew fainter each moment.

I sighed as re-thought of what she said. *Maybe I should give it a go*. I shook my head and padded away from the spot where me and my sister laid at and headed out the door where I could smell the fresh,lush grass.

I couldn`t sleep.   Some reason I tossed and turned most of the night, feeling as though I just couldn`t seem to fall asleep. I thought about my family. Would they be happy to see me? What if my step-mother and brother don`t like me? I already made my mind that I wasn`t too much a fan that my dad got back with a dog that I never knew.

*Yet again I was never there to disagree.*

Just as I was about to fall asleep, the silence of the Napping Room surged through me. My mission collar I kept on rang up a voice call. It kept ranging. "Moonpie? You awake? Moonpie!" I shrieked and fell off the dog bed I slept on. Thankfully, I didn`t wake Ana, nor Lollie. I searched through my collar for the button to open up the camera so Rolly can see me.

I yawned, being upside down from falling off. "Rolly, What in the world are you doing up so late?"

" I need your help. Can I come to Puppy Play Care? I don`t want to wake Bingo nor anyone else." he whispered. I could just imagine his face being confused realizing I was upside down. "Why are you upside down,Moonpie?"

I sighed, adding sarcastically. "Because I like to sleep this way."

"You do?"

I stared blankly at the screen where I heard his voice, he didn`t get the idea it was a joke.

He laughed nervously. "Heh, I`ll just come right away then." His voice was cut off by the closing of the screen. I sat up straight, my head ached from being wrong side up. I went towards the elevator, bumping into the wall instead of going in once. I shook my head and sat still, waiting for it to take me down.

    "So, what`s up?" I lowered my voice as I stared sightlessly at him. Clearly I didn`t feel like talking so late. Especially that my family is coming tomorrow. I could hear his paws shifting uneasily on the slick floor. Rolly`s voice sounded tense and afraid. "I didn`t know what to do, who to tell. I kept a secret from; you and Lollie, Keia, Auggie, Cody, Haven, Johnathan, even Bingo!" he wailed. "I had to tell someone! But I`m afraid of getting rejected, I can`t face that towards Bingo if I`m alone. . ."

  A stab of pity struck me. He was scared of being turned away from his family and friends and would end up being alone. I nudged him gently just as my sister usually does, reassuring him with my glittering, glazed eyes. "Hey, its okay. You can tell me. You are my friend. I`m here for you." The tension for him was still high in his breaths. But I could just imagine Rolly closing his eyes as he spoke.

"I`m trans. I feel more comfortable with using she and her." her voice went quiet and continued moments later, I could hear her. trembling from fear. Pity swelled through me. " I feel, more valid with being transgender. . . I feel more like I belong being a female. . ." I could picture her staring at me with tears streaking down. " You think that`s so wrong?"

    I couldn`t bear for her to cry, my heart ached for my friend. I reached for her to hug me. I felt Rolly`s sudden embrace. Her tears swelling down as she choked with tears. I couldn`t help but tear up too. "Hey, hey." I soothed. "You`re okay. I don`t see anything wrong with you being happy for who you are. You have my support. I`ll be there for you my friend."

Rolly gripped tighter as she whispered. "Thank you, thank you so much, Moonpie. I am so happy that you accepted me." She letted go. "When am I going to tell the others?" she asked. I thought for a moment and answered. "Are you ready to tell them tomorrow? We could after my family comes and settles in."

She didn`t question about who my family is. "Alright." she sniffed. "As long as I have a friend by my side, I`m ready."

I smiled, nodding my head. " You should get back home now. I`ll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." I heard the patter of her feet fade away as I turned back to the Napping Room. I felt the rays of the morning sun streak through a window. I shrugged, knowing that I can sleep in before they come. I climbed back into the dog bed and fell fast asleep from exhaustion.
