Rebel sat on a park bench and quietly watched Echo and Goldy play, Tax was helping them up the slides and other equipment while Quix was having a deep conversation with a local rescue house owner, he had played with the idea of that career path for the last two months, and when he heard there was someone here with an occupation of a rescuer, well let's just say, he practically leapt from the carriage as soon as the town appeared.

The town was fondly called 'Jail village', noone knew why, but that didn't stop it from being a highly enjoyed place, with a pleasant atmosphere, the sound of children playing at the massive theme park and the smell of food, Jail village is known for its top class chefs, the place was clean and everyone seemed happy.

Rebel experimented with his lead which was tied to the seat, they weren't in the human park which had a protective fence and barrier and this town had two human parks, but Tax and Quix love playing with their humans on the bigger play sets, so Rebel tried again, there was a delightful smell and he wanted to investigate, but he didn't want to interrupt anyone.

His collar pulled slightly and Rebel hopped off the seat to see if he could undo the knot, he was lucky that Quix was in such a hurry, or else this would have been impossible, he managed to loosen it enough to unravel it, he wrapped the end of the leash around his waist so he wouldn't step on it, and he headed off, he looked back at everyone and fought the urge to wave, he walked towards the smell, it was the pasta district of the town, with various pasta dishes being served, noone really bothered with stopping the human, he didn't know that service humans would walk around with leashes in a similar way, the only difference was the collar and the fact he didn't have a service animal coat.

He walked along till he found a outdoor kitchen, a Vampire was showing off his amazing skills, he had pasta boiling, sauce simmering and meat popping, he noticed Rebel watching him and grinned, "what's a human like you doing here? Want something?" He asked, moving away from his cooking area to ruffle the boys hair, Rebel grinned, he didn't like strangers, but he didn't see how someone who makes such nice smelling stuff could be bad or dangerous, he decided that he trusts cooks right this second as the man smiled and set a piece of meat to cool and once it wasn't to hot he tossed it to Rebel who caught it and happily ate, he wanted to do what the man was doing, and the man seemed to get the message as Rebel pretended to hold a pot and stir, you could see the joy on the mans face and the wonder on Rebel's as he hoisted the human up and handed him a smaller pot, it was tiny compared to the tall and massive pots the man was using.

The man showed Rebel how to fill the small pot with water and how to turn the heat up, the man was having fun with the human, who was also enjoying this learning experience, any creature enjoys learning, but the most fun is when they are happy to learn the subject, it wasn't long till the pasta was boiling and was almost cooked, passerby's came around and watched, the man was filling plates and bowls for paying customers and then helped Rebel set up his own dish, with pasta first, then the sauce then the meat, Rebel tasted it and smiled in shock, it was amazing! And he wanted to share it, so he gave the man a fork who happily accepted and they shared.

The man though was reaching the end of his shift, so he helped Rebel off the counter and gave him a pat before shooing off the teen without being harsh, Rebel wondered off again and headed towards the sound of another outdoor cooking area, this woman let him help her out as well, she was surprised by what he already knew, and grinned at the boy, but instead of eating his one, he gave it to the the woman, she smiled at him and ruffled his head, "thank you! You're such a good human" she acknowledged, passerby's loved Rebel's behaviour yet again, but now Rebel was tired, so he headed off to find his owners, only they weren't at the park anymore, so he headed towards the theme park, he looked around in amazement, his mind forgot what he was doing and he ran towards a human ride which was a ferris wheel, he hopped on board, the person at the controls didn't seem to notice and set the thing to move again.

Rebel enjoyed it and watched people walk in with their humans, but then he noticed as his one was reaching the bottom for the fifth time that Echo was standing there, he was crying, he rushed into the area before it could budge, then hugged Rebel who was happy to have his friend back, "I'm lost" sniffled Echo, Rebel nodded, "me to" admitted Rebel.
