“Sorry, Scritch, but I always take a shower after Dance class… Nanu says I have to wash up any time I get all sweaty like that,” Loli apologizes, frowning. “I’ll just be a little while, and then we can find something fun to do,” giving the glum little blue alien a pat on the head before turning and heading upstairs. When Loli gets about halfway up the steps Scritch starts following her up, big ears perking up a little. “Sorry Scritch,” Loli repeats over her shoulder, heading to the bathroom.

Loli closes the door most of the way and starts undressing, slipping off her flower-patterned muumuu, Loli sets it aside on the side of the sink, when she thinks she sees something out of the corner of her eye.
