By the time they reached the house both Lucy and Sophie had lost the last of their clothes. Laura was just grateful they made it back before they were arrested for public nudity.
"Right, where's that cat got to?" Lucy growled excitedly as soon in she made it through the front door before scampering off in search of her pet turned plaything.
Sophie grabbed a banana from the fruitbowl and jumped onto the furniture.
"This will do for now, I suppose" she reasoned.
Meanwhile Laura headed straight to the pond to check on the third of her animal friends. To her relief Annie was squatting happily on the grass near the pond. She jumped towards Laura as she spied her.
"So do you believe me now that there is no *croak* magic crystal *croak*"
"Um yeah about that.." Laura began, before recoiling in shock at the webbing now clearly visible on her friends hands and feet.
"Annie, your feet...." Laura spluttered out. Annie looked down then up again in confusion.
"Look pretty normal to me" she replied.
