Traveled down the road and back again

[talkyourwayout]

There was a time when the Other Duckburg had been a crutch for Lexi - something she'd depended on more than was healthy. Now, though, she was fifteen years old, and had really learned that, though she loved her extended family here, this world wasn't all she had going for her.

Of course, that didn't mean she'd stopped visiting! And sure, usually it was still to visit Unca Scrooge, but sometimes others - and sometimes, she just wanted to wander through the city and take in its old-fashioned charm. Today was a day for that last one.

With a to-go cup of coffee (mostly cream and sugar) in hand, she strolled through the streets of the Other Duckburg. The leaves had turned, and many where starting to fall, leaving them to crunch pleasantly in her wake as she walked.

"Yeah, I figured if you're anything like your mom, you'd enjoy the express trip."

He grinned over his shoulder, then slowed his walk until he came to a stop. Shifting some, he got into a runner's position, as a glow passed over his fur. Once he'd changed into his- slightly -smaller wolf shape he took off again, a trot moving into a full speedy lope, long strides carrying them out of the park and down the sidewalk, kicking up leaves all the way.

Okay, being in physical contact with someone as they transformed was kind of weird, if only because it was less weird than she'd have suspected it would be. For all the sense that made...

She smiled as she watched the leaves being kicked up. "They really look nice," she said, letting go of some fur with one hand so she could idly scratch Daniel behind one ear.

He growled happily, leaning his head up into her touch some. Glancing ahead, he bounced through a large pile of leaves that'd been blown up against a fence, kicking up a "spray" around them as he continued through.

Lexi giggled, and swatted at a few of the leaves playfully.

"Man, this is pretty great," she sighed. "My mom did mention you guys running around Duckburg once or twice - was it like this?"

He glanced back and nodded, barking once. Looking back, he bounced one way and the other on the sidewalk, giving Lexi a playful jostling before they slowed down to a rapid trot, as they started getting to a more populated area.

Lexi shrugged one shoulder. "Huh. Cool."

As they started to be around more people, Lexi couldn't help smirking at the occasional puzzled look, just responding to them with little nods.
