A suitcase stands beside a window. The window looks out onto a winding road that leads through a forest. A forest that presumably ends, but the viewer does not know for sure, never having been outside of the forest before.

Roxanne, a grey cat, had been born in the old house in the middle of a large forest. No one came to visit, and as the years passed, Roxanne found herself alone. Now, it was time to leave. There had to be more outside of the forest. At least, that is what Roxanne understood from listening to the few birds that came and went from the trees in the forest around the old house. With one last look at the only home she had known, Roxanne picked up her suitcase and walked along the winding road leading out of the forest.

The trees were starting to thin out, and the morning sun was a welcome and warming sight as Roxanne made her way out of the forest. She had been thinking about which way to head and did not hear a voice calling her.
“Hello! Hi!” Sucre called.
“Where did you come from?”
Roxanne stopped, slightly startled.
“Meow! Hello. I used to live in the forest.” Roxanne pointed back to where she had travelled from.
“I am on an adventure, I guess you could say. I think I am looking for a new home.”

“A new home? Maybe you would like to live in the trees like I do. Here, you can have a cookie.”
Sucre and Roxanne looked at the squirrel that had appeared.
“You live in a tree?” Roxanne asked. “Thank you for the cookie; I was starting to get hungry. A tree sounds interesting to live in. Can I see your house?”
“Sure,” said the squirrel, “It’s this way, follow me.”
While checking reality, you meet Sugar.
Sucre shook paws with Sugar the Brown Badger. They both received five silver moles!
“I was the only one left, and I had never been outside of the forest where I was born. Birds would bring tales of what was outside the forest, and I spent days mulling over whether to stay or leave.”
Sucre sensed some sadness and excitement from Roxanne and thought it best not to pry too deeply. It was a new beginning for the cat, and Sucre was determined to help Roxanne find the best new home it could.
While checking reality, you meet Gray.
Sucre shook paws with Gray the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received five silver moles!
“There are so many types of homes,” said Sucre, “Have you thought about what sort of home you want to live in?”
“I think I want to live where the sun shines. Not much sunlight reached the forest floor making it difficult to find a sunny patch to sleep in. Cats love to be warm.” Roxanne answered.
Sucre looked at the suitcase Roxanne was carrying, “Should we find a place to store your suitcase?”
“No thanks,” said Roxanne, “It contains some memories and is not heavy.”
Sucre pointed, “A bit further along is a lake, it will be a good spot to stop and rest.”
While checking reality, you meet Spark.

Upon reaching the lake, Roxanne heard frantic splashing.
“Hello, Roxanne called out, “Anyone home?”
“No, no fish here, replied a voice.”
Roxanne thought she heard whispers that sounded like they were saying, cat.
Sitting to wash her face, Roxanne thought.
“Wait, I am not here to eat you. I like berries and cake and,” she did not get to finish her sentence.
“Cookies, do you like cookies?” a voice rang out.
“I like cookies,” said Roxanne and with that a fish peeked out from under the water and a few cookies were tossed out onto the grassy bank.
Roxanne and Sucre nibbled on the cookies while explaining that they were looking for a new home for the cat.
“I won’t be joining you in your water homes, said Roxanne, “It is too wet and the sunlight probably does not feel warm in the water. And why are these cookies not soggy?”
Braver now, other fish poked their heads out of the water.
“The cookies, oh they are so coated in sugar that the water does not penetrate them to make them soggy, we don’t like soggy cookies, though we love living in the water.”

Enterbeauty a name for this pet and you found 3 GOLDEN MOLES!
After conversing with the fish, eating more cookies and getting directions for a farm not far away, Roxanne and Sucre said goodbye to the fish and took their leave.
“Maybe the farm would make a good home for you,” said Sucre.
The sky was darkening, the night would soon be upon them and tiredness was settling in. It would be good to find a place to sleep.
Coming to a low wall, Roxanne looked up at the birds in their nest.
A robin nesting on a tree branch came to sit on the wall.
“Rumours are flying, haha, you won’t be able to live in a nest like we do, you probably can’t build a nest.”
“No, you are correct, I don’t think I could build a nest out of twigs and grass, and I would not like rain falling on me when I sleep.”
While checking reality, you meet Artie.
Sucre shook paws with Artie the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received five silver moles!
Clouds of mist formed in the darkness, a faint light hidden in that mist. Forms started to take shape, hard to catch hold of, but feeling important. Roxanne woke briefly. She had dreamed of someplace. The feeling was still with her. What was that, a tree; she was sure she saw a large tree, the faint outline of a mountain, so faint she could not be sure she saw it. At the heart of the dream was something she could not see but could feel calling to her.
While checking reality, you meet Abel.
Sucre shook paws with Abel the Fennec Fox. They both received five silver moles!
Abel and you found 5 "Lovely Lavender Paper Flowers" size 4.
“Wow! Good morning.” Roxanne awoke to a ring of faces peering down at her and Sucre. “We are on an adventure to find me a new home, and thought this looked like a lovely place to stop and rest. Thanks for letting us sleep here.”
Roxanne nudged Sucre, “Wake up, time to leave.”
“What? Oh, good morning; I slept well. Hey, hi all you farm animals. What’s for breakfast?”
“This is not a diner Sucre, but maybe we can get some milk or some fruit.”
Roxanne and Sucre were offered some milk, which Roxanne appreciated, and there were carrots and other vegetables from the garden and even some apples from last fall, plus cookies. The cookies baffled Roxanne, but this was a farm and farms were known for baking a lot of tasty food.
“I have something to tell you, but first, let’s head out.” Roxanne started to walk away from the farm, waving a paw at the cows, pigs, dogs and horses.
While checking reality, you meet George.

Once the two travellers were outside the farm, Roxanne stopped and turned to Sucre. “I had a dream last night. I think it was trying to tell me something, but it was hard to see clearly. I remember a large tree, and I think there were mountains, but it is more the feeling; it felt peaceful and happy. I keep trying to remember more. Maybe if we head up nearer to the mountains.”
Sucre took a moment to think. I know there is a city we will be passing soon if we keep in this direction, and then there is the ocean, and if we keep going past that, you can see tall mountains. You did not think staying at the farm would be a good home?
“A farm is a great place to live for many, or so I have read, but it was too crowded and noisy for me. I want to find a cozy place filled with sun, beyond that, I won’t know until I find it.
While checking reality, you meet snowflake.
Sucre shook paws with snowflake the Arctic Hare. They both received five silver moles!
snowflake and you found 5 "Ballet Dress, Purple" size 4.
They arrived at the outskirts of the city. Roxanne knew the city would be no place she would like to live. “There are so many living here, and the buildings block out the sun, and it's noisy.”
Sucre looked around. “I like the city, I come here often to buy things, see movies, and eat delicious food. Have you ever seen a movie before?”
Roxanne did not know what Sucre was talking about.
"Let's go to the market and see what they have; we need some food to take with us, we don't have to stay long.”
While checking reality, you meet Woolly.
Sucre shook paws with Woolly the Brown Funky Monkey. They both received five silver moles!
At the market, Sucre bustled around collecting food, including a good selection of cookies, and talking with the vendors. Roxanne was amazed, there was so much food on display and everyone seemed happy and busy. There were musicians playing music, and animals on bikes, skateboards and scooters. Roxanne thought it was important to live where you felt comfortable and felt the city was far too lively a place for her but she did enjoy seeing all the others having a good time.
While checking reality, you meet Mystique.
Sucre shook paws with Mystique the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received five silver moles!
Roxanne went to look for Sucre and thought she saw it across from the market. Trying to cross the road as the cars whizzed by honking and beeping set Roxanne’s teeth on edge. Finally she was able to cross and meet back up with Sucre.
“If you are done shopping I would love to leave this city and find a quiet place to rest,” said Roxanne.
“All done shopping, sure, let’s go. You look worn out.”
While checking reality, you meet Splodge.
Sucre shook paws with Splodge the Chocolate Milky Moo Cow. They both received five silver moles!
Sucre and Roxanne left the city. Roxanne was glad to get away from the noise and bustle of zooming cars and loud music.
“Have you ever thought of living underground? The moles and some gnomes love it.” Sucre looked closely at Roxanne.
“Underground? It would be damp and smelly. Though the dark does not bother me, I think it would not suit someone who loves the sun.”
Sucre pointed below where they were walking; there is a mole home below us, and look, a few moles are on the surface, why not go ask them if you can see what their home is like?”
While checking reality, you meet Princess.
Sucre shook paws with Princess the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received five silver moles!
Princess gave you 6 "Bitten Purple Heart Sugar Cookie" size 7
Roxanne climbed carefully down into the mole tunnel. She had no problem seeing in the dark space, and the first thing that she noticed was how dry it was. She had thought it would be damp, but it was pleasantly warm, clean and dry. There was not a lot of space but then it did not look as if the moles collected much furniture.
Roxanne thanked the moles for allowing her to see inside their home and for the cookies they had given her. Cookies are becoming a regular thing. I wonder if it is some sort of celebration.
While checking reality, you meet Baile Átha Cliath.
Sucre shook paws with Baile Átha Cliath the Green Happy Dragon. They both received five silver moles!
Baile Átha Cliath and you found 150 Frank 'n' Cents!
Sucre turned to Roxanne as they were walking through a meadow. “Do you remember I told you we would see the mountains once we reached the ocean? Well, we are almost there. I have heard of animals that live in the ocean, but there is more than that. There are special homes built below the waves.”
“I would not mind seeing them, but I don’t think living in the ocean, even in a special home, would work for me. Cats like to drink water and we can swim, but having wet fur makes us miserable.”
While checking reality, you meet Tuffe.
Sucre shook paws with Tuffe the Dwarf Hamster. They both received five silver moles!
Some of the ocean residents, who lived beneath the waves, offered to show Roxanne their homes. Diving to reach the homes was slightly unsettling for Roxanne, as cats do not belong beneath the water. But once inside one of the homes, she was quite taken with all the colours below the waves. "Cozy" is not quite the word Roxanne would use to describe the homes, and the light levels were too low to keep a cat happy, but she was glad she had seen how some animals liked to live.
While checking reality, you meet Minx.

Sucre and Roxanne had been walking and chatting, not paying much attention to their surroundings. The mountain path was gentle and the day was warm, so they took their time and enjoyed learning more about each other. Suddenly Roxanne stopped and breathed in deeply.
“This is it. My dream.”
While checking reality, you meet Dani.
Sucre shook paws with Dani the Green Rapid Dragonfly. They both received five silver moles!
“Look at how beautiful this is. Grass and flowers, the sun is streaming down, trees for shade with those glorious mountains framing it all. The cottage looks perfect. I can’t wait to look inside.”
Roxanne and Sucre raced to peek into the cottage. There was a fireplace to warm the house during the colder months. The walls were solid and draft-proof. Everything that was needed to make a cozy home was here, in this little cottage far removed from noise and bustle.
“The best thing is the sun,” said Roxanne.
While checking reality, you meet Cuckoo.
Sucre shook paws with Cuckoo the Brown Owl. They both received five silver moles!
Cuckoo gave you 1 "Grey Adventuring Cat, Meow!" FULL SIZE
Roxanne handed Sucre a painted egg. “Thank you for coming along with me on my journey. I was not lonely and I learned a lot about how others live. A home is where you feel safe and comfortable, where you can be yourself and shut out the world or invite a few select friends to spend time. A home is an extension of yourself. This is my new home and it is perfect.”
The two friends walked into the house, put the kettle on and relaxed with some cookies. Sucre has had all the Reality it can take! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also Check Reality!
