Bernadette had been itching to leave her house since she and her family had unpacked the last of the boxes. Both her and Bernard had grown a bit restless for a while, but Bernadette wasn't nearly as calm about it. Their mother had noticed her daughter was growing so restless, just sighing one day as the girl ran around playing some game with the dog. 
"Ursa you can stop playing with Lola like that."
said brunette looked up from chasing the dog around in the backyard to look at her mother on the porch, expression confused before seeing the car keys in her mother's hands. Ursa's eyes couldn't help to light up at this, rushing over and giving her mother a near crushing hug.
"thank you thank you thank you!!!"
her mother could only chuckle as the keys were now in her daughter's hands, the girl rushing through the house to tidy herself up before heading out. Her mother couldn't help to call out the door as the young shape shifter left.
"Don't forget curfew, and behave yourself!"
Ursa just nodded at her mother as she left, already knowing where she was going to play.


Ursa had pulled up to the shopping mall, glad she had saved up the pounds she had exchanged for dollars yesterday on her. She parked before skipping into the shopping center. Her eyes were alight with curiosity of each little shop, unable to run into the pet store, though small, the place had. She would be working at the one her mom had been hired at for animal training, but she couldn't help listening to the gossip of the town from the animals in the shop, she made sure she looked like she was just adoring one of the kittens, but she was somehow holding a conversation with it, learning there was plenty of strange creatures like her around here. She left the shop though, waving goodbye to all the little critters and the shop keeper inside before moving around to find something to eat, she could shop fashion later but right now she wanted to see just what could be on the menu fast food wise.

Tyler hadn't long been awake. His hours at the coffee shop and at the college had taken it out of him more than he had exoected it too. Lucy had woken him, slamming the doors in her house, Tyler supposed it was to annoy him, until he'd finally dragged himself up and yelled down the stairs that he was awake and that she could stop now. He'd taken his time to get ready, lazily climbing in to a pair of faded skinny jeans and a plain gret T-shirt.

Downstairs, he helped himself to a bowl of cereal and took a seat at the small kitchen table. He could see Lucy outside with her pet toy poodle, Molly, who Tyler decided he hated more than marmite. The dog was always growling at him, snapping at his ancles and making a fuss whenever Tyler was anywhere near it. He rolled his eyes when the dog seemed to sense his presence and ran into the house, yapping at the boy who had to raise his feet onto his chair to save his toes being eaten.
"Geez, Molly. Give it a break, would ya?" He excalimed in irritation and wafted his hand at the minature rat like creature. The dog didn't listen and carried on attempting to jump up and snap at the dismissing hand.

Lucy came in at that point, looking at Tyler as though he was doing something unspeakable.
"Tyler, will you stop winding the poor thing up! She only wants your attention."
"Yeah, more like she wants to eat my bones for breakfast." Tyler muttered back under his breath.
Lucy looked to be hurt then.
"You do know, Tyler, you can be so horribke at times. It's no wonder they sent you this far away..."

Tylers head snapped up from the bowl he had been staring at. His eyes held nothing but hatred and hurt in them now and immediately Lucy shut her mouth. She looked shocked in herself that she had said such a thing. Beside him, Molly let out a whimper and Tyler turned his glare to her instead to see her laying on the floor, her body shaking and appearing to grow weak. Then Lucy let out a small cry as she too fell to the floor. Tyler noticed the two of them changing before his very eyes. Only moments ago they were both fit, healthy and full of life, now, however, they both appeared frail and aged.
"Tyler... I didn't mean it... I'm sorry... please stop.... please!"

Her words sunk in and immediately he snapped out of his angered state, his eyes brimming with tears before he jumped to his feet and ran out of the room. He didn't stop running. He ran out of the house, down the street and didn't stop until he reached a small fast food restaurant on the other side of the town, just inside the precinct. There, he leant against the wall and cried. He let it all out, not really caring who saw him. He didn't understand what had happened or why it happened. Everytime he got angry or upset, something happened to those around him. Something bad that a few times he hadn't been able to turn back.

A few minutes kater, he dried his eyes and straightened himself out. There was no point feeling sorry for himself. Realising his stomach was still grumbling, he turned to look at the shop behind him and decided to hide away in there for a while. Opening the door, he walked inside and found a table at the back. His eyes gazed out of the window, his mind lost on thought. He didn't mind that the restaurant was full as his thoughts were occupied elsewhere, so much so that he didn't even notice the girl walk in and begin looking for an empty seat which the onky one seemed to be across from him.

Ursa was quick to pick something out, resisting the urge to start munching on her fries before realizing she somewhat lacked a place to sit. A pout graced her features, eyes looking around before spotting one table that had a boy sitting at it near the back. A bright smile graced the shape-shifter's lips then, more than willing to try and make a new friend out of this considering she was new in town. Ursa nearly skipped over, stopping with a kind and cheery expression on her face.
"Hey mind if I sit here? This place is a bit crowded."
She pointed with a finger at the seat across from the stranger, eyes darting from between the chair and the boy. She wasn't trying to be rude about anything but the girl was lively and could see this boy was somewhat troubled. Ursa found the stranger kinda cute, though she wouldn't let that distract her too much as she hoped for a seat and some chit-chat with her meal today.
