Redshore City - June 19th 2018, 12:00pm
Meanwhile, in the city of Redshore, a female teenaged wolf is paying for for the last of her clothes from her giant shopping spree at the Redshore Plaza.
"That will 925.85 plus tax." Said the cashier. "Will you pay with cash or credit?"
The young teenaged wolf gave the cashier a platinum credit card, with the name "JAMES CRYSTAL" on the card in big bold text. "Credit please."
The cashier took the card and swiped it on the register. As it beeped loudly, the woman look at the card and saw the big bold name of the owner of the card with great surprise.
"No way! This is the credit card of Jimmy Crystal! The biggest executive ever known to animal-kind! The only way you could've got his card is-" She stopped mid-sentence to look up at the arctic wolf girl. She had a designer dark blue jacket with multicolored accents with yellow trousers and limited edition blue Nike high tops, with a pair of purple sunglasses to complete the look.
"Oh. My. God." The cashier said with her jaw wide open. "You're Porsha Crystal!" She said excitedly, practically jumping up and down in excitement. "Oh my god, I can't believe your here! It's such an honor to have you at Sadie's". "Please, the pleasure is all mine!" Porsha said while grabbing her bags. "You guys have the best clothes in Redshore! This my go to place to buy the hottest outfits."
"Well, we're glad to have a fashionable shopper here at Sadie's!" Said the cashier happily. "A very cute shopper at that!" "Aw, stop it your making me blush!" Porsha said while fanning herself with her hand playfully. "You also look really cute by the way. That skirt really brings out the shine in your eyes".
The cashier blushed heavily as she printed out the receipt. "Thanks. It's a huge honor to get a complement from the daughter of the world's biggest entertainment mogul!" She hand the receipt and credit card to the teenaged wolf, who excitedly grabbed the bags.
"Hope you have a nice day!" The cashier said gleefully as she waved goodbye to Porsha, who in exchange waved back as she carried the thousands of bags out of the store. For this teen wolf, it was a regular thing for her to get praise over her status as the daughter of the world's biggest mogul, as well as racking up a fortune on her dad's credit card every day. But her father didn't give a care. When you make the huge amount he makes in a day, a few thousand dress and shoes didn't make major waves in his credit card bills. She tiredly made her way to the fountain in the middle of the plaza, where she plopped herself in exhaustion from the load of bags.
"Man, shopping is hard work." She then spotted a cat wearing a tiny purple tuxedo buying a cup of yogurt at the local yogurt stand. "JERRY!" She shouted from the fountain. "CAN YOU CARRY MY BAGS TO THE CAR?" The cat jumped backwards from the shouting of the wolf girl, and turned around in a urgent manner. "Y-yes Ms. Porsha. I'm right on it!" He ran towards the fountain, as fast as he can, quickly shoving his raspberry-cinnamon frozen yogurt in his mouth as quick he can before grabbing a load the bags from the stack to put inside the limo, trying not to topple the weight. This was a normal routine for her dad's assistant, as he was instructed to do anything to keep his daughter happy. This along with being the entertainment for her birthdays to shining her shoes till they are see through, was a regular routine the cat deals with almost everyday.
"So" the cat asked weakly to Porsha as he carried the mountain of bags, which height could almost rival the famous Matterhorn. "How was your shopping spree?" "It was totes fabulous!" She said excitedly to began her latest rambling story about her trip to mall. "I got a cute pair of shoes from Marcies, they almost look like the ones Purlena Gomez wore to the Grammys last year. They were soooo cute! I also a got a cute swim suit with loads of diamonds on it that looked similar to the dress Mick Jackrabbit's wife wore at that party..."
As she rambled on about her day, Jerry was wheezing and gasping for air from the truckload the bags. By the time Porsha finished up her story about the fight she had with another girl for the last pair of the rare golden Helena Spirit high tops, Jerry was passed out on the floor after loading in the last truckload of bags in the trunk. "...and that wasn't the craziest part of my shopping spree, there was this totally cute boy I found at the...Jerry?" Porsha asked worriedly as she looked around for her assistant. "Right......here......" the cat said weakly, lying on the floor, begging for help. "Oh let me help." Porsha ran to pick up the cat, who was puffing a storm. "Guess the truckload of clothes I bought took a toll on you, huh?" The wolf-girl asked as she left the dazed Jerry to the limo. "You think?"

6:30pm
"Aahh...what a day." A content Porsha said as she finished putting up the numerous bags of shoes, dresses, mini skirts, bras and other assorted items she bought from countless stores in her luxury closet in her bedroom. She just slid the last pair of jeans into her dresser, and was ready to take a well earned nap. She plopped herself on her fluffy designer bed, and snuggled herself in. She would definitely admit she was living the good life. She had almost everything she could asked for. New clothes, new shoes, new everything. She had the life most people of the world would definitely love to have.
But yet, despite having everything she would wanted, deep inside, a tiny part of her wasn't happy. For the past few years, she desperately wanted some more than dresses or shoes could ever give her: the attention of her dad, Jimmy Crystal. Since she was little, he never bothered to be around, bond, or even talk with her. Most of the time, he was wrapped up in meetings or holding auditions to find the latest talent (or "moneymakers" as he called them) for his theaters. And every time she tried to get his attention, he would mostly shove her away or give her his credit card to spend a fortune with. Although she was happy to do a shopping anytime, most of time she wanted to spend some quality time or even gain a sliver of attention from him.
Besides, she had no choice anyways. Despite her popular status, she never did had any true friends. Most of the time, she didn't know how to have or even make a friend and when she did hang out with other kids her age, the people who she hanged out with were either the kids of her fathers friends, or friends hired by Jimmy, who she both had barely any connection or similar interests with. In fact, the only person she really considered a friend was her father's talent scout, Suki. Ever since she was little, she felt that Suki was the only person she could talk to. She was there for Porsha when Jimmy couldn't. From birthdays to class plays, she was there to make sure she was happy and okay. Unlike Jerry, who only took care of Porsha to keep her father happy, Suki was genuinely concerned with Porsha's well being. Whenever she was sick or injured, Suki quickly came to her aide, and stood by her side until she felt better.
Out of everything she had in this world, Suki was the most cherished person she held most dear. It makes her wish sometimes, she had an equally good relationship with a person her age or at least with her dad. That would be the best gift she could ever have. Suddenly, a knock on her door snapped Porsha out of her snooze and back to reality. "Porsha?" It was Jerry, probably came to check up on her for the millionth time today. "Yeah" said Porsha in a half awake voice as she walked towards the door. "What it is, Jerry?"
She opened the door to discover the cat with a clipboard in his hand. "I have a message that your father wanted me to pass on to you. He would say it himself, but he's stuck in a board meeting right now." Porsha's face immediately lit up with excitement. Her father promised that they would have dinner for months and she thought the message would finally a confirmation. "Really? What does he want to say? Is about the dinner he promised to have with me? Oh my gosh I been waiting for months for him to say-"
"He says won't be home for that dinner for tonight."
The teenager's heart instantly broke as those words exited Jerry's mouth. "H-h-e isn't coming home, tonight?" She asked dejectedly, as her ears slowly dropped down. "But he promised..."
"I'm sorry, Porsha." The small cat said. "Your father had to stay at work late tonight to prepare for the auditions he's holding in 3 days." As he looked up from his clipboard, the noticed the girl's saddened face, almost on the verge of crying. As he stared into those sad puppy dog eyes, he began to feel a bit bad for the poor girl. "But don't worry." He said, trying to reassure the poor girl. "Just because your dad won't be here for dinner doesn't mean you won't have dinner alone. I can eat with you if you want?"
"No thanks, Jerry." Porsha said, trying her best not to break down in front of her dad's assistant. "I don't feel hungry anymore. Goodnight, Jerry" The cat sadly looked at the wolf before closing the door. Once she was sure he left the hallway, Porsha darted to her bed and proceeded to let out a sea of sobs on her fancy white pillows. She was upset that once again, her dad blew off his many empty promises. She should've known this would happen. It was always business over family for him. No matter how many he promised to spend time with her, he either changes his mind or forgets about his promises altogether.
"Why do I even bother trying to get him to spend time with me?" The poor girl thought to herself. "He barely notices me half of the time, and when he does, he doesn't even want to be near me. Does he even love me at all?"
After a few minutes of crying, she suddenly lifted up her mascara smeared face from the bed to grab a photo located next her nightstand. It was a picture of Porsha when she was 6, when her parents took her for a day at the local pier. The photo featured Porsha and her parents in front of the Farris Wheel as her dad hugged her affectionately and her mom kissed her on the cheek. She distinctly remember that day, as it was the last time they would go out together as a family before her mother.....passed. Ever since her mother died of cancer, he father wasn't the same. Before her death, he was actually pretty fun to be with. He would give her piggy back rides every day before he left to work, he would tuck her in every night before he went to bed and he even used to call her every day after school to ask how was her day. But once her mom was out of the picture, he began to lock himself up in multiple board meetings, never even wanting to attend to matters that weren't related to work.
As she continued to look at the photo, she couldn't help but to wish for the good old days where her dad laughed with her, smiled at her and showed affection towards her. "I would give anything to have the old you back."
Suddenly, she snapped out her thoughts when her phone suddenly buzzed loudly near her. She picked up the phone and found a notification:
————————————————————————
iText
Message from: Suki
————————————————————————
Porsha smiled as grabbed the phone and tapped on the notification to see what she sent. Suki at the time was at Calatonia to scout a local theater and was excited to get a message from her. A message from her is what exactly what she needed right now. She opened up the Home Screen and tapped on the iText and got the following message:
———
6:48
————————————————————————
Hey, sweetie. Just left the the hotel in Calatonia and I am heading to the airport. I hope you are doing okay. I promise I'll tell you everything about my trip when I get back. I miss you so much. Love you 💋
————————————————————————
Porsha couldn't help but smile at what Suki sent. She decided to send a little message back:
———
6:49
————————————————————————
Thanks Suki. I can't wait for you to come home. Love you. 😘
————————————————————————
"If there one thing I'm grateful for, I'm glad I have a person like you in my life." She said to herself. She was content with the fact that even if her father wouldn't come around, she would be there for here. As she turned off her phone, she proceeded to walk towards to her closet to put on her designer silk pajamas. After slipping into her comfy clothes, she opened her dresser and grabbed her favorite diamond ear-buds. As she sticked the headphones in her ears, she decided to look at the text from Suki one last time. "Tomorrow's a new day." She softly said to herself. "I hope things get better soon". She then opened up the music app on her phone and proceeded to load up her favorite song.
"This girl is on fireeeeeeeeeeee!" Her favorite singer, Alicia Keeshond belted loudly. She instantly felt soothed by Alicia's golden vocals. Since she was little, her mother use to sing this song to help Porsha sleep. Every time this song was sung to her, either by her mother or Keeshond, it always brought a sense of happiness for her. As the song boomed through her ears, she began to slowly fall asleep. The room slowly faded away around her as she dozed off. "Tomorrow a new day......" She repeatedly thought as she began her descent to dreamland.
"Tomorrow a new day......"
