" Awwww, wook at the whittle ferret wewwet." Emma cooed. " She's sooooo cuuuuute!"
Mia laughed. " I knew you were going to say that! Too bad Ann's not here."
" She had stuff to do. I mean you can't really blame her, can you?"
" No. You can't." Mia agreed. " But still. She would have loved this cutie."
The ferret let out a soft coo, one which made Emma give the ferret the cutest look ever. " Let's name her!"
" Name her.... What?"
" Something really cute!"
" Like?"
" Uh.. How about.... Eevee?"
" Eevee, huh?"
The ferret looked interested.
Emma grinned. " Your cousin gave me the idea."
Mia sighed. " Okay, okay, fine. Eevee it is."
" Yeaaaaah!"
Mia shook her head and sighed as she looked out the window on their rescue center island.
Emma had named it ' Rescue Center Island'.
No, seriously.
I'm not joking.
The other option was " Klinkclangalangalang."
Try saying that out loud five times fast.
Just then, Blackie strolled in, yawning. " What's going on in here?"
Emma giggled. " We have a ferret!"
Blackie curled on the counter. " How charming."
Mia laughed as she scratched his chin. " Don't worry. Bee. You're not forgotten."
" And I expect I don't."
The ferret let out a curious sound, and Blackie opened his eye.
" Not really. Humans are actually pretty stupid people."
Mia blinked. " What?!"
Blackie stretched lazily, his tail flicking with nonchalant sass as he fixed Mia with a smug look. "You heard me," he purred. "Humans are stupid. You stumble over yourselves, you fall for adorable eyes"—he gestured to the ferret—"and, let's face it, you have terrible naming skills. Eevee? Really?"
Emma gasped, clutching the ferret closer. "Eevee is a perfect name!"
Blackie yawned dramatically, his fangs glinting in the light. "Perfectly unoriginal. But go ahead, revel in your mediocrity."
