So here we were, Ariel, Dani, Gray, and I, all standing around in this little shop. Introductions were over, and now we had two MORE people heading to Harmony. I was still skeptical if it even existed or not, but since so many others seemed to buy it, I may as well too. I glanced over at Gray. He seemed so quiet, worse than me! I wonder why...my thoughts were cut off by Ariel saying, "Let's go ahead and buy these supplies and try to catch back up with Sky and Kara."

"Who's Kara?" Dani asked. I had only just met her, and I could definitely tell she was the inquisitive type. "Well," I began, "Neither of us have ever met her, but our friend Sky, who's a cat half-breed by the way, knows her and wants her to come to Harmony with us..." "Hmm..." Dani was thinking it over, "what if I changed to wolf form and tried to catch her scent?" "We thought about that possibility," Ariel said, "it would draw too much unwanted attention to us..." I nodded in agreement. "I-I can feintly make out her scent in human form," I added, but she was on the run a few minutes ago, there's no way for us to know which way she was heading." Now what? I thought.

About that time, I looked out the window and saw Sky run by with another new girl. I looked at Ariel with that "another half-breed" look on my face and she just smiled and said "I bet if we follow them and try to keep up, we'll find Kara in no time." "Great!" Dani grinned, "I can't wait to meet more of our kind! C'mon Gray!" He nodded and walked right behind her. I just stood there for a minute and smiled. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a freak like me could have so many crazy friends just like me. I thought of my brother, the only other friend I had ever had and something he said right before he had to go to war, "Don't ever let being different stop you from having friends Asuka. Friends are important, you'll need them in life." Thanks Alex, my brother... I heard Ariel call for me, "Asuka! Come on!" "Right, I'm on my way!" I took off to catch up with my new friends.

Okay, the moment of truth everyone's been waiting for...WHAT DOES A FOXCOON LOOK LIKE!? I'll post a pic of Asuka in human form later, but for now, here's the foxcoon!

Notice that like a fox, it has paw-like feet and a bushy tail, but like a raccoon, has the black and gray coloration! Now you know!
