"Snowball, we're in the city now. You can let go of me," Daisy grumbled. She was still being dragged along by Snowball. Pretty sure they had gone three blocks away from Central Park like this. Realizing this, Snowball smiled sheepishly and released his hold on her paw as he apologized, "Oops, sorry about that."

"Are you also sorry about dragging me into this mess?" Daisy questioned as she rubbed her sore paw. Kicking a can with his foot down the alley they were in, Snowball chuckled nervously as he answered, "Not really, no." Rolling her eyes, Daisy muttered, "Of course not."

"Woah, wait! Hold on!" Snowball cried, hopping after Daisy as she began trotting away. Sliding past her, the white rabbit stopped in front of the Shih Tzu. "Look, I know you and some of the others are upset about this whole situation."
