Emma picked up the box. It had her name on it, but no return address. That's strange, Emma wondered, why would anybody send someone a package with no return address? She shrugged and opened up the box. Inside the box was something she thought was only in anime and manga: four tiny chibi cat girls! She was so surprised to see this that she, like any sensible human being would, thought she was seeing things, until one with pastel pink eyes, hair, ears and tail walked up to her. She took a few steps away. Then she ran into the kitchen to get breakfast. As she was pouring her soymilk into a bowl of Lucky Charms, Emma could hear the noise of tiny little feet behind her. She put the soymilk back into the fridge and got a spoon.When she came back to her cereal and milk, that same pink cat girl was sitting on the rim of the bowl, staring at her with big manga eyes.
"Please," said the tiny pink cat girl, "can we stay with you? Me and my friends have no home!"
Emma accepted, bewildered still by the tiny being looking up at her. The cat girl cheered up a little bit and whistled. The other three ran to the tabletop, scooting up the legs of the table to get near their friend. They were light blue, light green and dark red. The pink one hid behind the daek red one, who spoke up for her.
"Well, I- erm, uhh, I'm Akane, and this is Aimi. Oh! And I'm older than her."
Akane nudged Aimi and she waved a little, but was blushing and only peeked out a teensy bit from behind her friend.
The green one looked at Aimi and Akane for a seconed and then spoke: "I'm-I'm Yasu and she's called Merle."
