Teddy sits in the cafeteria, the annoyed expression from the conversation he had been in earlier still on his face. “Who does that vixen think she is? Throwing accusations at me like that.”

Yula is sitting at the table across from Teddy, eating his dinner for the day, he grins, wagging his tail as he looks back to his guard. “What I find funny is that I think you’re more upset that she laughed at your name than anything else.”

Teddy frowns as he looks back to Yula. “Hey, that name got me laughed at a lot while growing up, I can’t help that I’m overly defensive of it. My sister is the exact same way about her name too you know.” He lets out a sigh. “Teddy and Dolly… what the heck were our parents thinking?”

Yula’s tail stops wagging, his ears lowering sadly against his head as he looks to the side, a nervous expression now in his voice. “Is your sister as kind as you are?”

Teddy gives Yula a reassuring grin. “Well… she’s a little bit more difficult to warm up to than me, but give her enough time and she’ll be just as kind… I think…”

Yula stops eating, now speaking his concerns to the person that had been his guardian for seven years. “You know… it’s really scary… I’ve never left this building. Now… I know I wasn’t born here, but I was so young when I was brought here that I can’t remember staying anywhere else.”

Teddy tries to ease Yula’s worry. “Where you’re going is not much different than this place. Sure the building is not as large as the one you’re in right now but it’s not like you’re able to go anywhere you want to here anyway. Your range of movement will end up being the same I’m sure. So it’s not going to be that much different, you’ll just have a couple of new guards looking after you that’s all.”

The worry does not leave Yula’s face, Teddy continues to try and ease the situation for him. “Look it’s not as scary as you’re making it out to be, I promise.”

Yula begins to question Teddy more about his sister, after all she’s going to be taking his place once he’s reached the new facility. “So your sister used to be a soldier like you right? How come she’s working as a guard now? Did she get hurt like you did and have to move down to a different position?”

Teddy lets out a weak laugh. “Not exactly… she was demoted down to the facility guard rank because of her quick temper… she has a tendency to act without waiting for her orders and was pretty ruthless out on the battlefield, don’t let that scare you though.”

Yula stares back at Teddy not amused. “It is scaring me…”

Several members of the military approach the two. “We’re here to pick up Subject #1502”

Yula looks up from his meal, Teddy looking back to him. “Well, looks like they’re ready to transport you. Just behave yourself like you always do and you’ll be just fine.”

Yula nods his head in understanding, he gets up from the table looking once more at his companion before leaving with the people that had come to transport him to his new home. Teddy sighing as he watches him leave. “I wonder what they’ll have me doing now that Yula is gone… being his personal guard was pretty much the only thing I did around here.” His ears perk happily as his tail begins to wag. “Maybe they’ll put me back on the field again! That would be great!” He shakes his head knowing better than that. “But the chances of that are highly unlikely… I’ll probably just be given another test subject to babysit. I guess I’ll find out when I come in tomorrow.”

Yula enters the lobby of the building he is in, Eve and the other scientists that dealt with him as well as several members from the security division of the military, are already standing in wait for him, Eve’s boss approaches Yula once he sees him. “Now I know this ordeal may be a little frightening for you, but trust me, this is a normal procedure that the men and women of the military have done countless times before. You’ll be just fine.”

Yula looks up at him, he is still a little upset with the situation. “Why can’t Teddy come with us? I really liked him.”

One of the security officers answers Yula’s question for him. “Mr. Conner is assigned to this building because of his particular skills, head of security doesn’t want him transferred to a lower end facility when he would be of much better use in a high end one.”

“All available security personal please make your way to the north hallway on the fifth floor.”

Yula looks over to the intercom that had made that announcement, one of Eve’s coworkers speaking up to get his attention. “It’s been doing that all day hasn’t it? Don’t worry about it though it has nothing to do with you.”

Two of the military personal that would be assisting in the transport approach Yula and the three scientists, one of them beginning to speak with them. “You must be the three scientists assigned to Subject #1502.” The man that had spoken up holds his hand out to a female wolf with grey fur that stood behind him. “This is Miss Conner. She will be subject 1502’s guard from this point on.”

Eve frowns at the name as she crosses her arms and begins to look the wolf over. “Conner? That’s the same name as the guard he had last time.”

The female wolf nods her head speaking up. “Yes. My name is Dolly Conner. Teddy Conner would be my twin brother ma’am.”

Eve is taken aback. “Ma’am... do I really look that old?” She shakes her head quickly getting back to the topic at hand. “I mean... I oh, that’s interesting. Now that you mention it his file did mention that he had a twin sister who was also in the service. I completely see the resemblance between you two, you look just like him.” She looks to the side really unsure about this, after all she had been having suspicious about Teddy letting Yula out behind their backs.

Yula’s tail wags as he stares over towards Dolly. “You really do look a lot like Teddy! Except much prettier!”

Dolly frowns as she looks from Eve to Yula. “You must be subject 1502.”

Yula nods his head yes. “Yeah, but you can call me Yula!”

Dolly sighs to herself while her superior continues to speak to Eve and the other scientists. “Ms. Conner comes highly recommended. You have nothing to worry about.”

Eve still seems reluctant over the idea but doesn’t push it any further; the man then looks the group over. “Well then, we should be on our way if we want to keep on schedule.” He looks back to Yula. “Stay by Ms. Conner and do not leave her side for any reason understand?”

Yula nods his head yes. “Alright just like what I had to do with Teddy all the time!” He walks up to Dolly as he begins trying to talk with her. “So just what is the city like!? I’ve never been out of this building so I’ve never seen it myself. Speaking of which this is my first time ever being out of this building, it’s pretty scary but at the same time a little exciting.”

Dolly groans and shakes her head. “I was told that I was supposed to be a bodyguard... not a babysitter.”

Yula laughs at the comment. “That’s the exact same thing Teddy said when he met me for the first time too!”

The group exits the building through the large front doors, Yula’s talking immediately comes to a stop when he sees his surroundings. Past the large parking lot and security fence were buildings, all kinds of buildings as far as the eye could see, large buildings, small buildings, glass buildings stone buildings, “Wow! Look at it all!”

Yula tries to run forward, Dolly grabs onto him and stops him, holding him in place. “What are you doing? The situation has not changed, you are not to leave my side for any reason.”

Yula’s ears droop sadly at the reminder. “Oh yeah... sorry...”

Eve watches Dolly, though she looks a lot like Teddy she’s definitely stricter than he ever had been with Yula, the uncertainty Eve had before slowly starts to leave her. There is no way that this woman is going to let Yula get away with anything.

The group all make their way into the van that is waiting for them and begin their journey, Yula is hardly able to sit down as he crawls over Dolly’s lap to look out the vehicle’s window, every little thing and person they pass by catches his attention , Dolly continually having to force him back into his spot.

Eve stares at the two in silence, though it was clear that Dolly is not the type that would allow any problems to arise, it reminds Eve of just what kind of life Yula now leads. He lives his entire life confined inside a room unable to see the world around him. Eve looks away, even though she isn’t the one forcing this life upon Yula, she still felt guilty about it. The ability to just go out and see the things around you; something that she would take for granted more often than not.

Yula again stretches over Dolly’s lap placing his face against the window and pointing out one of the people that he saw. “Look at that! That lady has bright pink fur!”

Dolly nods her head as she once again pushes Yula back into his seat. “It’s called body dye. You can be any colour you want if you use it.”

Yula finds this information absolutely incredible. “You change colours if your body dies!?”

Dolly shakes her head. “No... not die, dye, it’s a cosmetic chemical you use to affect your appearance. That’s what cosmetics are for.”

“So there’s no dying involved? That’s even more incredible!” He smiles at her. “So how do you know about it? Do you use cosmetics?”

Dolly frowns at the question. “You don’t ask people questions like that, it’s rude.”

Yula looks to the side. “Oh...” He turns back to Dolly. “Does Teddy use cosmetics?”

Dolly gives a loud sigh as she turns back to Yula. “Both me and Teddy’s are our natural born colour alright! No cosmetics involved!”

Yula once again leans over Dolly’s lap to look out the window, Dolly pushes him back into his spot. “Stay away from the window!”

Yula seems upset. “But why?”

The member of the military that sits on the other side of Yula speaks up. “Listen to Ms. Conner. It’s not safe for you to do things like that. You don’t want to get hurt do you?”

Yula sighs to himself as he refrains to leaning over Dolly’s lap to look out the window again, he still glances outside of the glass to the things outside, all of it too amazing for him to ignore.

The vehicle stops at a red light, Yula ever so slightly leans towards Dolly as to get a better look out of the window on her side. He spots a very small child who’s features were well hidden behind many layers of clothing, the young girl looking over to their car and staring at him.

Yula stares back at her, it looks as if this child is looking right at him. He turns away from her, looking over to Dolly. “Hey... can the people outside of the car see us like we can see them?”

Dolly shakes her head no. “The window is one sided, no one can see inside.”

Yula looks from Dolly and back to the child, who still looks to be staring right at him, Yula lifts his hand and waves at her, the young girl lifts her hand, waving back, Yula laughes at the reaction. “Are you sure it’s not broken?”
