Len tied his hair up, ready for another evening of work and chores. The groceries have been bought, casual chit chats with neighbors had been done and feeding/bathing, and putting his family to bed were checked. He had no idea what to do next, so he started to sweep the floor with a rag, mostly his bedroom area. 

What people didn't know was that Len had some pets hidden in areas in his room, he usually talked with them during nighttimes..but since work was done he had a chance to take care of them more right now.

"James!" A sophisticated pet bird, blue in color. Originally was the owner of a little boy before Len who moved to another village where they did not allow pets in housing. He was Len's old friend, considering the relationships his dad had with other families. Len sighed at the memory in which is friend lent James in Len's care. He wondered how the boy was doing now.

James perched on Len's finger with Len smiling. Len had more pets than just one bird, but Rin would freak out about a green rat named Ryuto...who could somehow talk.

"Well hello there James, how are you?" Len placed some bread crumbs in Jame's mouth, feeding him while petting. "Did you miss me while I was doing chores?" 

James chirped, which meant yes. Len chuckled, "Well..me too, I was waiting to see everyone too." He looked behind him to see Ryuto, the oddly green rat looking up at him with his mouse buck tooth. "OH! Ryuto...hey!" Len waved down. "You missed me too?" 

Ryuto nodded, "yes" he replied with a funny voice. "I saw you outside with someone Len...they looked mysterious, are they a robber? My teeth can bite any bad guys, yknow?"

Len sighed dreamily, "No...they weren't a robber...in fact, they were so beautiful." Len plopped on his bed, hugging his pillow sighing. James perched on the dimly lit nightstand. "I might be crazy, but I don't understand why my heart beats fast for them. I'm not scared of them or something..." Len looked confused, and then looked at the box he had saved the day Flo bought him sweets. "They are so nice to me...I really love their sweet voice." 

More pets had come to sit around Len, in awe and interest in him describing the new friend. Yuuki, a small stray black kitten with a red ribbon looked at Len, meowing in question. "Well...yes, I saw their face...and let me tell you.." Len started getting excited. "HOW CAN SOMEONE HAVE A PERFECT FACE??" Len yelped, which made the pets jolt a bit. "They were soooo....PRETTY!!" Len started blushing and giggling, stuffing his face in the pillow, squealing in it. "Look I may be seen crazy for having pets and talking to them, but I am definitely not crazy when it comes to my new friend Flo's face!! You've probably seen them since you guys roam around the house alot, right right?!!?!?" 

Ryuto, James and Yuuki blinked, looking at each other. "S-Sure Len.." Ryuto replied in a ratty voice. "Yuuki has seen some parts of their face, she told me it looked like a birds nest!"

"B-birds nest?? Their hair and face looks like heaven's clouds!!" Len layed down on the bed sighing, "In fact, I'm so tired from these chores that I just wanna think about them all night right now." Len sprung up, "WAIT! There's..a ball coming up! Maybe, I should stitch a fancy ball suit together using MEIKO's sewing machine! Oh god, that would be perfect...we get to meet each other at the ball, hopefully I'm invited!!" Len happily rolled on the bed in excitement. "I'm going to see a new friend! Woop woop!" His fist was in the air. "Anyways, right.." Len dusted off his apron, "I filled up your plates, you guys should eat now!" 

The pets who were confused at Len's hyperactiveness shrugged, "Whatever you say!" They all went to their places, hiding and eating their food Len set out for them. 

"Psst...Yuuki.." The talking rat looked over at the kitten who was licking her milk, and munching on apples ever so eagerly in hunger. "Mew?" The kitten looked over at her little green rat friend. "I think Len likes this...new friend! Do you think we should help him?" Yuuki tilted her small head and meowed in response. James also secretly chirped as Len was busy sighing over the box, and writing in his journal, the gift from his dad.
