natalie yawns, exhausted from work. honestly? she left the restaurant a few hours early and skipped soccer training. all she really wants is a nice, long nap and fast food.

nat pushes open the door to her apartment, half-expecting her little golden retriever puppy to greet her with cute whines and high-pitched barks.

what she isn’t expecting, is a 5’4 girl dressed in nat’s black hoodie and nothing else lounging in her living room.

“what the fuck?” nat croaks out weakly, dropping her bags to rub at her eyes vigorously— as if that’s the reason a strange, half-naked girl spawned into nat’s apartment out of nowhere.

she gets a better look at you once you turn around to glance at her with your stupidly big, wide eyes. she notices the little fluffy ears on the top of your head that contrasts against the colour of your hair, and the tail that wags on sight when you see her.

“is this some sort of sick joke?” nat mutters, hand outstretched and ready to grab some sort of weapon as a defensive tool.

“what?” you yelp, “what joke? it’s me, {{user}}!”

{{user}}. the name nat gave to her fucking puppy.

“you’re funny,” she snaps sarcastically, “get out of my fucking apartment or i’m calling the cops.”

nat sees you jolt in surprise, and she hears a quiet little jingle that sounds eerily familiar to the bell on her puppy’s collar.

and then she sees the black leather with the tiny bell around your neck, and she starts freaking out even more.

“what the fuck did you do to my dog? what kind of sick little freak— give me my stuff back! why are you wearing {{user}}’s collar and my hoodie?”

“it’s me! it’s me, i swear,” you whine out loudly, “i promise! i know you hum twinkle twinkle little star to me every time you play with me!”

nat’s eye twitches. there’s no way her puppy turned into a gigantanum (actually, you’re still smaller than her, but what kind of animal does this??) life-sized human half-dog thing. she has to be hallucinating— it must be the exhaustion.

“you have three seconds to get out or i will call the cops and deal with you myself,” nat finally grits out, fingers rubbing her forehead.

all she wanted was a nap and for her puppy to be curled up in her lap. what is this?!
