A while later...

"Wwhooaaa! Look! Look! We're here!" Luna beamed with excitement, looking out the window.

"Ummm..." Echo mumbled, still half asleep.

"Echo! Wake up!" Luna shouted as she shook the weak Echo.

"Wha... sleep makes me not sick. Why did you wake me?" Echo muttered.

"We're here!" Luna told her.

"We're at McDucfries?!!" Echo shouted in excitement as she jumped up and looked out the window.

"We're not at McDucfries...." Echo moaned, eyes narrowed.

"No, silly! We're at... wait. What's this place called again?" Luna asked.

"Harbour City," Yurio told her as he walked past.

"Yeah! That's it!" Luna corrected as she pulled Echo off the train.

"Yeah! We've stopped moving!!!" Atomu celebrated.

"Whatever..." Yurio mumbled, getting off the train with Leo as Galaxy and Aki ran out ahead.

"This is quite the change from what I'm used to..." Eclipse muttered, gazing at the high buildings and outburst of life.

"This is soooo amazing!! Haha! Look at all the buildings everywhere! And there are so many people! Echo, have you ever seen so many people???" Luna bounced.

"No, and I don't like it," Echo grumbled, hiding in her hood as she crouched to the ground.

"Haha. Come on! Let's go grab some food," Luna suggested, pulling her arm to force her up.

"HISS!!!" Echo yelled in rejection, refusing to move.

"Too many people!! Abort! Abort!!" she called.

"Did you hit your head on a lamppost when you had your head hanging out the window?" Luna asked, looking at her strangely.

"I was just trying to get some fresh air!! It was too hot!" Echo aggressively claimed.

"So that's why you're acting weird?" Luna asked.

"IT'S CALLED SOCIAL ANXIETY!!" Echo hissed.

"But you were always fine in Cold Stone," Luna commented.

"Cold Stone didn't have towering buildings with trillions of people going different directions and thinking different things that there's no time to analyse because they're all moving and talking, and I don't wanna be here!!!" Echo panicked.

".... I wouldn't say there are trillions," Luna mentioned.

"Oh, hey, it's Kitty kitty!!" Atomu called, seeing a... cat(??) behind Echo.

"Huh??" Echo muttered, turning to see a fox behind her.

"It's the little cutie that hangs around the forest! What are you doing all the way out here, kitty? Did you follow us? Awww she's so cute!" Atomu grinned, stroking the 'cat'.

"Isn't that the fox that stole our stuff......??" Yurio recalled.

"Kitty kitty kitty!!!!" Galaxy squealed, shoving her way past Echo and diving into the animal.

Echo lost her balance and stumbled to the floor.

"Gah!!" Atomu was launched out of the way.

"THAT'S A FOX!!" Echo yelled.

"And definitely not a girl," Aki added.

"I don't think Echo's the only one who hit her head," Yurio mumbled, looking at Galaxy as she squeezed the poor fox to near death.
