The year is 3875 AD.
The future is a glorious place filled with marvels.
There are no animals.
A girl named Honey is about to see something truly extraordinary.
Just another story about a girl and her dog.
Grand beast. Foul empire. Is this a trap? Thought Honey, choosing her next words carefully. 'I'm being watched?" she asked.

'Yes, they have been searching for the Dauphine of pugs for almost four years. Her kidnapper kept her completely off the grid, but that's all changed now." The woman continued dramatically. 'We saw her on your front lawn, then observed her sleeping in your bed. She clearly trusts you." There was a moment of silence. 'I have no idea what you're talking about," said Honey coldly. The woman smiled proudly, clearly impressed. 'The Dauphine was bred to be clever," said the woman. 'And she was clearly right to trust you." She held out her hand for Honey and pulled her up from the simulated grass with a firm grip. Honey could feel the woman's rough fingers and when she looked down she could see fingernails edged with dry blood. 'The healing pod has almost finished, follow the numbers and bring the Dauphine home," the woman said. She could feel her teleportation ring starting to burn. Honey ripped off one of her golden opera gloves and with a shriek and a twist of metal she threw the ring. Suddenly everything shimmered and Honey found herself standing in her bathroom.

The pug was sitting on the toilet seat staring at Honey, her head cocked to one side. Honey blinked. The pug blinked.
The pug yipped with excitement and threw herself onto Honey's lap nuzzling her head against Honey's stomach. No one, not even Honey's parents had ever greeted her with so much excitement. 'You appeared out of nowhere!" The pug cried. 'I panicked and ended up here!" Honey shrieked glancing about until she spotted the teleportation ring lying in her cleaning pod. 'I missed you! My heart was empty without you! I snuck downstairs and ate all the apples in the fruit bowl and then I threw up" the pug shrieked . Honey's finger still throbbed and she raised her hand to examine it. 'You sound like my Daadee, she claims her soul dies when I'm five minutes late for my yearly visit" Honey replied referring to her grandmother. .Six tiny dots and dashes had been burned into the skin on the underside of her finger.
Most of the time Honey's injuries and scars vanished within seconds under healing gel. This time however Honey breathed in and out to ignore the pain. The dashes and dots seemed important. 'Dogs feel torment when separated from their favorite human" the pug said firmly. 'I'm your favorite human? We just met two days ago" Honey pointed out rubbing her finger. 'Well my mistress was truly awful and I haven't seen anyone from old earth in almost three years" the pug replied Honey blew on her finger trying to cool it down. 'I think I just spoke to someone from old Earth," Honey said to the Pug.
