I ran to the front entrance of the restaurant and tried barking like a dog. But that won't help even if I was a dog in real life. I wish I'd be cause they are cute, obviously. But still, it won't help at all. Also, no dogs are allowed in restaurants! Aww! THAT'S SO SAD!!! I had to think of something else. Something sneaky and smart! All I had to do was get into that restaurant - and I will do it, no matter what happens. Wow. I was acting like a superhero after their biggest downfall yet! Cool. Soon, I was walking up and down the front entrance of the restaurant, about to run out of ideas. I couldn't bear doing this anymore. I was doomed - FOREVER. After a while, I soon noticed a trash can pinned on the wall. Great. Time to get dirty, Zoe. Ruining your best pink dress is going to be a lot of fun. Har har (I was not laughing in happiness, I was indeed feeling dull). Should I do this? I could - if only I knew where to begin! Ugh! No, I gave my word. I can do this! I rushed to the garbage can, closing my eyes as I did and taking a deep breath, I jumped into the dirty trash can. But when I did, I immediately realised that I wasn't dirty at all! Instead,  noticed there was nothing in it at all! Wow! It must be because they just disposed all of the trash. Oh, wow. I felt a thousand of butterflies spread into my tummy, flying about as they did. I felt like a dove! Well, not exactly. I had to stand so that I knew where I was going. But I also did not want anybody to see me in that trash can. I had to put my head up to see everything. Ugh! Why am I like this? I had to push the trash can so that I could move. Although it felt impossible and that pain was struggling to come out of my body, I had to at least try. I was straining by the time I was standing in front of the restaurant - as a trash can. Great. Now, the real challenge is to get inside. How can I do this? I don't know! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I was about to change my mind and walk back home when all of a sudden, I saw another small trash can laying there on the wall and another idea came into my mind. Yep. You'd probably already guessed what it is. I decided to replace this bin and show it off by fighting it! Woohoo! I'm not a bin actually! I'm a girl! I'm just a little girl compared to this teeny tiny mice! EEEEEE!!! I'm so scared. I wanna cry right now - like a crybaby. But maybe crybabies are kinda useless. Plus, if I do cry, then nobody would become my friend again and I'll be friendless again! Why me?!! After smacking myself on the wall a couple of times - as a bin (and nobody recognised me and did think I was acting a bit weird) I was ready to take action! I pushed the bin I was in as hard as I could and I pushed the door open, using my bin costume. Quickly hiding inside, I pushed the bin a couple more steps until I reached the spot where the small bin was. When I got out, at first, I realised that I was covered in flies! Ewwww! I was all stinky and smelly. Once again, I was planning to cry but I am not going to do it. I gave my word for real this time! So, I kicked the tiny bin and landed it on the other side of the wall. Finally, vola! I was able to replace the bin and succeed on my goal! WOOHOO! My happiness stopped though when I realised that the chef was still there. I had to make a quick dash - and worse, find Della! Great. Now this will be much harder than I thought it would be. I quickly gave a sigh and ran as fast as I could, searching for Della and Sukah. I wanted to call out but I couldn't. After a while, I was completely exhausted and I was about to give up when all of a sudden, in the distance, I saw familiar faces. Could it be? Are they my friends?!! Have I finally succeeded on my quest?!! IS IT REALLY TRUE?!! I was about to find out the truth. I rushed to embrace whoever was awaiting me. I gasped! Yep, I was totally right! I was about to hug them with tears of happiness spreading down my face when all of a sudden, I immediately realised that I was all stinky and smelly. I decided that it wasn't the best time to hug anyone around here now. "Hey, girl! OMG! You look all stinky and smelly! How did you get here?!!" Della cried, her voice muffled whilst she covered her mouth. I could not tell her. Instead, I replied to her that I needed to go to the bathroom and wash my hands. I didn't want to get anyone around here sick, you know! So, I quickly thanked her and dashed to the bathroom like Sonic the Hedgehog - well, not exactly. Still kinda solid performance. When I got into the girl's restrooms, I looked into the mirror and sobbed tears of happiness. Through my tears, I smiled as a memory of me when I first met Sukah came into my mind. It started out creepy at first but it gets happy in the end.
