"Are you your not gonna leave your pets with me?" Betty was now inside my room. Helping me pack for my week long stay at my Hometown.

"Neh! They'll go wherever I go. So, no thanks! And uhhhm.. uhmm.. I am sorry about our plan for this weekend betty. Mom called and wanted me to be there tomorrow without questions asked!" Me and Betsy were planning to have a picnic at the dog park but since my parents called me hours ago. We decided to reschedule it.

"Lyka dear? Are you sure you're not gonna tell the people at the shelter about.. You know!?" I can see from her expression that she was worried about how the outcome will be because of MY SECRET. But this was for the better.

"I will tell them when the time is right. Besides, i'd worry about why my parents want me so suddenly to going the seminar. They don't usually invite me back unless either one of them is sick or other important reasons to discuss.." It had been more than a year since I last seen them and the sudden invite got me in a twist. And somewhere in the pit of my stomach tells me it's not gonna be ok. Oh god I hope not!

"I can't belive we were even invited!" Vanessa was now screaming from excitement.

"Jezz Woman! Spare my ears! Tone it down will you?" Victor scolded her but can see a small smile on his lips.

"Oh shut up grandpa!..." While slapping his shoulder playfully. Hmmm... I can see something is going on between these two. I mean, Vanessa is pretty and is a single mom at 28 while Victor is already 31 and still single. Oh well! That's their story to tell anyways.

"And we have Lyka to represent us! Oh my god! We will be seen on newspapers, televisions and even on facebook! I gotta call my mom!" She existed the lobby and headed towards the staff room with Victor in tow.

"I am certain there is something going on between those two!" Maxwell said from behind me.

"You're like reading my mind gramps!" He laughed at the nickname that I gave him.

"Well, you do your best there and show them how awesome our branch is.." One of the volunteer from the morning shift shouted from behind me and I laughed at their supposed plan.

"Let me just clear things out here. I am not joining a contest here! Just a seminar about how we should run the shelter and other important stuffs. No Q&A portion happening." I can't believe these people.

"Are you crazy! You will be meeting one of known veterenarian their in Massachussettes! They own the biggest Animal Shelter on almost half of the country that even hollywood stars go there to adopt one for themselves!!" I was certain Vanessa went to the back. But since she is here. I'm in a lot of trouble! An earful of whatnot I assume.

"AND you have the privilage to even talk to them!! The Foyers are very intimidating just by looking at their accomplishments but they have the heart of gold towards animals." I pocked vanessas shoulder to snap her from her dreamy state.

"Hey! Why'd you do that for? Don't interrupt people when they are daydreaming.." She faked being angry.

"Lyka Renalia! Now that name pretty much has a ring to it.. You my girl is gonna be the face of California's Number one Dog Shelter!!" And Vanessa is at it again.

"Ughh.. Hate to burst your bubble Nessa but we are the ONLY Dog shelter here in California" Maxwell corrected vanessa but only got a shrug from her.

"Honestly people! It's just a gathering.. But I know I can't win with you guys being persistent so I am gonna leave now. My flight is at 9:20am and it's already 7:50!" I waved at them but they all insisted to give a hug for good luck.
