AS I STAND HERE WAITING, WISHING, WANTING—//feel free to skip to the last paragraph. i seriously didn't mean for this to end up being this long.
The past few weeks had been a bit dull. Sugar had decided, that even at the cost of not seeing many people, she was just going to make sure she was rested and healed. Constantly moving around and getting involved with people would've been bad for her health, considering the state she arrived in. However, those few weeks of rest were up, and she was finally ready to face everything again. The good thing was that she was already starting to get out more. It probably wouldn't take too much time to bounce back, considering how social she tended to be.
Though despite her social nature, she still enjoyed taking walks by herself, and that was what she was doing. Snow crunched beneath her paws as she trudged forward, finally warming up to the cold weather. She doubted she'd fully get used to it, but after spending some time at Snowbound, it wasn't nearly as bad as she thought. A light smile made its way onto her face, as she surveyed her surroundings. Nothing seemed particularly out of the ordinary.
Normal, normal, normal - wait. There was a box laying out in the open. Huh, that was odd. Without even thinking of it, Sugar went into a full sprint towards the box, skidding to a halt before she could trip over the item. Some snow sprayed onto it as a result, but she just brushed it off. It was partially open as if the contents of it barely even fit the container. Huh, did someone pack this in a rush? Why'd the do that if they were just going to leave it out in the snow? Pushing away her questions, Sugar opened the box without a moment of hesitation.
The contents were odd, to say the least. There were a few brightly colored, strange-looking creatures in the box. Well, they weren't living creatures, and were obviously some sort of toy, but that didn't change their strangeness. But they were kind of cute, despite looking like some weird, wingless, legless bird monster. She stuck a paw in the box, poking the odd toy slightly. Yep, those were definitely mechanical. Geez, they looked soft and cuddly despite that. Maybe she could put them up with some of the stuffed toys she collected, or heck, even with her video games and random bits of technology she found. And so, the wolf took the task of dragging the box all the way back to the caves.
After finally making it back, she flopped down next to the box, and after that, she carefully removed each of the separate animals. There were so many of them, and some seemed way older than the others. In fact, they seemed years older. All of them seemed to be out of power, though, but she quickly found the source of the problem. They needed batteries.
Quickly conjuring up a few battery packs (which she had originally intended for some game controllers), she got to work. The first one, almost as soon as all of the other batteries in started snoring, startling Sugar and nearly causing her to drop it. Geez, that was scary. She didn't realize these things acted like that. She put it down after a few seconds, before moving onto the next one.
"Dah-ay-loh-oo-tye," the strange, incomprehensible words came from the thing she turned her back on. Wait, what? It talked? She watched it for a few seconds, before turning her back again, ignoring the strange language it seemed to speak for now. After a few minutes, she'd managed to get batteries into each of the toys, with a crowd of snoring toys was now laying at her feet. Sugar poked at each of them, waking the last remaining ones from their slumber. What followed was an unsynchronized chorus of 'dah-ay-loh-oo-tye,' which Sugar still could not understand whatsoever. After a minute or so, random chatter seemed to carry between the different toys. This was definately weird, but cute at the same time. She needed to share this with someone.
"Uh, hey, guys - if you haven't seen it yet, I've found something pretty cool!" she called out, figuring a few people hard already heard the noise coming from the area anyhow. Besides, it was pretty hard to miss seeing someone surrounded by these weird little things. While waiting for someone to come over, her attention shifted over to the box one last time. Huh. Her eyes scanned over the title of Furby Trainer's Guide. Huh, so these things were called Furbies? She snatched the guide, deciding to read up on these things until someone showed up. —TO TAKE OFF AND GO STAR HOPPING
