Sam sat there for a moment, staring at the ground. "Well... I should go help my dad..." she sighed, feeling as if she was annoying him or something. She had that effect on people sometimes, mainly because the amount of friends she had was extremely small. Just Maxi and Lee.   Standing up, she slung her backpack over her shoulder, "See you later, Kuro... Thanks for at least listening to me. Not very many people do. It's hard to find nice people who care, or may not care but still listen. You know?" With that, she forced a small smile, though that smile faded away as she looked a little sad in her eyes as she got off the bench and headed off to the front of the school. She stopped in front of the gates, standing there for a moment. After a minute or so, she started to walk off again, heading down the street to walk the long way to her father's work.<br/><br/>About an hour later, Sam arrived at the Zoo where her father worked. Her father was an animal trainer who helped in performances for kids and families who came to see them. She was allowed free admittance since her father worked there. Walking the pathways down she passed by a few different animals. Lions, Otters, Rhinoceros. Eventually, she found a building with the sign above it that said "Animal Training Facility, Employees Only" Sam entered into the building and closed the door. She set her backpack by the door and went off into the back and out a door that led to a large open yard. Her father was out there with a Otter. Off to the side, a grizzly bear sat in the shade. Sam gave a small smile, even though she felt rather sad from earlier and walked over towards Komodo, sitting under the tree with the fluffy creature. "Good to see you, Komodo..." she said softly, petting the bear's head as a few tears could not help but fall from her face.
