Flynn eased a breath out through his nostrils as he turned Mirage down a corner. Both he and Amber were glad that the road was so clear, as they knew that would change within the next couple of days. "And then just keep going down this street, Flynn-san."

"Thank you, Kit."

"My pleasure, Amber-san."

The Labrador sat back in her seat with a smile. She let her gaze wander out the window, allowing her to watch a group of Roidmudes clear out the way for trapped furs from broken down buildings. "We've gotta hand it to our little girl," said Amber, "she did a good job. Not a single transformed civilian destroyed in all of that."

"Yeah," Flynn nodded, "She did good... She did good..."

A wider smile crossed Amber's muzzle. She looked over and rested her paw on the lion's shoulder. "I'm sure Jady would've loved to hear you say that..."

"Yeah...I'm sure she would've..."

"Take this turn, Flynn-san," said Kit, "right into that gate." The pair fell silent as they rode past the gates. Amber's gaze returned to the window as they drove by gravestone after gravestone. Neither felt the urge to say anything until Flynn pulled up to the parking lot and came to a stop in one of the spaces.

Amber clapped her paws together. "Well then...shall we go?" Flynn nodded and unbuckled his seatbelt, an action Amber quickly followed. But they stopped once they heard ringing from Mirage's speakers.

"Ah, matte kudasai. You have an incoming call."

"Go ahead and answer it, Kit," said Amber, "we're in no rush."

"Hai. Ikimasu." With a single beep, the call was answered.

"Hey guys, where are you?" came a very eager Jady, "I've been waiting here for like half an hour!"

"Yeah, we're coming, Jady," Amber answered her, "We just parked at the cemetery."

"The cemetery?! What're you doin' there?! What, did you think I was dead already?"

"We couldn't find parking at the hospital," Flynn explained, "There are already so many people there already so we had to improvise."

"Well hurry up then! I wanna see you guys in your normal bodies already! My last memories of you guys for the entire day have been of you attacking me as Roidmudes!"

"It can't be any worse of our memories of you knocked out cold with internal bleeding!" Amber laughed, "Just sit tight, okay? We're eager to see you again too."

"Okayyyyy. Don't keep me waiting for too long, alright?!"

"We won't once you finally hang up."

"Awww, I missed you too, Flynn." The mountain lion grunted as Amber nudged his arm with an elbow.

"Okay, see you soon, Jady," Amber called.

"Jaa ne, Jady-san!" called Kit.

"See you soon, you guys!" Jady called back. And just like that, the call came to an end. Both furs let out sighs before turning to each other.

"Well then," said Amber, "Shall we get going?" Flynn gave her a firm nod.

"The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can start helping other Roidmudes back into their original bodies."

Amber gave him a sly smile and nudged him again. "C'mon, Flynn. It's just us; you can tell us how excited you are to see Jady again."

Flynn huffed and turned away, allowing himself to hide his blush from the canine. "L-let's just get going already."

Amber laughed and rolled her eyes. "Okay Kit, we're heading out. We'll call you once we get to Jady's room."

"Arigato gozaimasu. Thank you very much, Amber-san."

Amber smirked. "Saraba da, Kit-chan." With that, she closed the door and followed after Flynn, who had already gotten a bit of a lead on her.

"For the record," the mountain lion said once she caught up to him, "there's another reason I wanna get to her sooner."

Amber perked an ear. "Oh? And what would that be?"

Flynn stuffed his thumbs into his pockets and looked up at the sky. "...I wanted to thank her. Not just for saving us...but also for taking on the role of Drive in the first place. It's...the least I can say after she took on such a daunting task."

Amber smiled brightly and hooked an arm over his neck. "Well, well, well. Looks like our little Jady's got a surprise to look forward to. Let's not keep her waiting then."
