Then I Read Your Tag And Just Went: As It Should Be! - Tumblr Posts
As Maggie watched the two squirrels, she could have sworn they were talking to each other. Not that this was the strangest thing she'd ever seen in her life. The same applied to the girl with the squirrel's tail.
She didn't give any of this a second thought; in a way it was normal for her to see something like that. Even she was a mutant, her father was a man whose body was covered in blue fur and who resembled more a beast than a human, one of her father's friends also looked more like a blue elf or demon. Maggie could list even more people she knew who didn't exactly fit the norm. The place where she lived was full of such personalities. So a girl with a squirrel's tail was nothing unusual for her.
No, what surprised Maggie was when this stranger suddenly seemed to call out to her and waved with her hand. Confused, Maggie looked at the girl and turned around briefly to see if she might meant someone else who was standing behind Maggie.
But the streets were mostly empty. There was no one there far and wide except the two of them and the two squirrels.
Finally, Maggie turned back to face the girl and pointed at herself, her expression beyond confused. "Are you... talking to me?" Usually people didn't really talked to Maggie, and Maggie didn't really talked to others, especially if they were strangers. She had her circle of people with whom she spent her time but that was it. Not that she minded meeting new people.

Maggie walked through the streets on her way to the park when she suddenly heard a quiet squeak. She paused briefly and cocked her head to the side before walking in the direction of the noise to see what it was. When she got to the source of the noise, she saw a little squirrel desperately running back and forth in a barrel, trying to get out.
"Aw, hey little fella." Maggie greeted him with a friendly voice so as not to scare the little animal even further. "How did you get in there, hm? Can't get out out of there again?" She continued to speak calmly while she pulled a few nuts out and carefully placed them in the barrel with the squirrel. "You must have been in there for a while now…" she murmured as she gently petted the squirrel.
Slowly but surely, Maggie gained the animal's trust and carefully lifted it out of its prison. "There you go," Maggie whispered and brought the squirrel near a tree where she put it down. "Now you're free again."
Maggie placed a few more nuts next to the squirrel, which it quickly collected before the squirrel gave Maggie one last look and then ran away. With a smile, Maggie looked after the squirrel as she saw it running towards a girl. A girl with a… squirrel tail?
