There was only a week left before Spring Break actually began, but Animalia and its colonies were getting ready for any kind of trouble early because of how popular they were as tourist destinations. The best example was that plastic cups were replacing glass glasses, and there were going to be more concealed officers in case anything got out of hand. There were a few things that weren't related to Spring Break that were still surprising.

Layla, Joy, and Louise sat, stunned as Mary showed off her new Mare Animalian form. While her muscles were the largest part of her (pun semi-intentional) she still had massive boobs that could be seen even when Mary turned around to flex the incredible muscularity of her back (as well as an equally massive "horse's rear end"). Not only that, Mary's newfound confidence was also through the roof, since she had signed up for the 2025 IAC Bodybuilding competition.

Another was where Steve, Marcy, and Chrissy were shown Claw Coliseum's Octagon. Both Marcy and Chrissy were a little nervous about Steve hanging out at the BARA House, mainly because they were worried that he was going to be "turned gay" by being around them, especially since homosexuality was a considerable part of the furry fandom. Marcella, on the other hand was more worried since there had been a hint that her fourth punishment would be focused on her fight with Chrissy.

The other big surprise was how popular the Mardi Gras party at the Meat Market was. In fact, it was so popular, and so much money was made by this time, that it was almost time to plan a new expansion, again. The plans were still on the drawing board, for now, so there wasn't too much to plan ahead for.

Ao Guang Island, on the other hand, had a lot of preparing to do, mainly related to the "clean-up" of the aftermath of the Winter Weight Watcher's party. While the Spring Break party wasn't going to be as big as the previous one, there was still a lot of preparation for the tourists, especially the inevitable "unruly ones".
