The Berry Big Circus!

'Right, wait here! I'll get two cards for you.'
She said and she ran off, Leaving Regent sitting there.

As she left, Wocky started at Regent, who was staring at him back.

"U-Uh", He said to him, "Y-Yer a nice tiger, ain't ya? Regina says so, right?"

He then walked up to him slowly and reached out his hand to him.

Regina grabbed the cards on the table standing in her room.
She smiled and ran back.
There she saw Wocky approaching Regent.
She walked over to Wocky and Regent.
'You see? Regent is really cute and soft!' She said and she placed her hand at Regent's back.

Wocky smiled and said, "Yeah, guess he is."

He then patted Regent's head.

"Yer a pretty cool tiger. Glad you don't wanna eat me."

Regina smiled.
'You're one of the first who isn'r running away!' She said happily.
Regina giggled.

"Really?" Wocky asked, "Well, I guess tigers can be scary to some people."

Regina laughed.
'Most people say they're going to die' She looked at Regent.
'But Regent won't hurt anybody.' She looked back at Wocky.
'So, what do you do normally?'

Wocky looked at Regina and said, "Well, uh, I jus' walk 'round the city most of the time. Gotta keep up my 'gangsta' image, y'know?"

'You're a gangster?' Regina asked.
'Like in those movies?'

"Yeah", Wocky answered proudly, "Pops is the boss, an' I'm gonna be the boss afte he retires!"

Gangster? Regina tought. Like those who shoot people in the movies?
Suddenly the tought of Acro came up for a second.
Regina looked toughtfully and was quiet for a few seconds.

Wocky titled his head confusedly and asked, "What's the matter? I ain't gonna hurt ya! We only go after people that mess with us!"

Regina said nothing.
'That's right.' She said, and she smiled again.
That's why he.. he.. bat'.
Suddenly Regina began to cry.

Wocky started to panic when Regina started crying.

"W-What?! D-Did I say somethin' wrong??"

Regina looked at Wocky and wiped her tears.
'N..no.. It's okay, really.'
Regina smiled.

"O-Oh, awright", Wocky said as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, uh, you ain't scared of me bein' a gangsta, are ya?"

Regina looked at Wocky.
'No.. that's not the problem..' She said slowly.
'A..anyway, i've still got those two cards for you, here you go!' She said happy again and handed over the cards.

"Thanks", Wocky said as he took the cards, "Now I gotta find two people to give these to."

'Don't you keep one yourself?' Regina asked.
She was totally happy again.

"Oh, I'll keep one", Wocky said, "But... I don't have anybody to give the other one to..."

Wocky then looked down sadly and sighed.

Regina placed her hand at Wocky's shoulder and smiled.
'I'm sure you'll find someone to give it to.'

"I hope so", Wocky said as he looked back up at her, "Girls are always scared of me, 'cause of me bein' a gangsta... Either that or they think I look funny."

Regina giggled.
'But you look kinda funny to me.' She said.
'But looking funny is a good thing!' Regina said while sparkling.

Wocky scratched the back of his neck and said, "I guess... But lookin' funny in the circus is normal, but when you're jus' a high school kid, it's different..."

'Oh? How's that then?' She asked happily.
She couldn't imagine how it could be different to be clothed like this here or in high school.
