Chapter Text
Bitty Mania.
I opened the present from Marie, and almost dropped the lid in shock. A...bitty? I feel myself flush in anger when I realize they gave me a sentient creature with no warning, no supplies, and no prompting. I gently set the lid to the side and look up at Marie. She looks excited and takes my picture. Everyone else recognizes my anger and backs off. "Marie. What kind of bitty is this?" I ask in the most professional tone I can.
"Oh, she's a King. I had her put to sleep before bringing her over to you, but she'll make a great pack leader." Is Marie's response. I grit my teeth slightly.
"Marie. Why did you give me a bitty without any warning, or any other supplies for her?" She blinks.
"Oh, shes a king, she'll tell you what she needs. All the male kings do." I swallow my anger and ask her where she got the bitty from. Females are rarely ever sold outside of the breeding community.
"Oh, they were selling her at the local breeding mill. You know how cruel those things can be, so I decided to just buy her for you." I sigh slightly.
"And...not warn me?" She shrugs, obviously not noticing my anger yet.
"It was a surprise." I sigh, and point at the door.
"Get out, Marie."
"Oh no need to thank- wait, what?"
"I said, get out. You are no longer welcome in my home." She huffs loudly and leaves, taking her belongings with her. I shake my head, looking at my other guests. "I apologize for that, but I believe it may be time to call this party short. I do have a new housemate to learn how to care for."
My friends nod in agreement and wish me luck, some telling me to open their present whenever I have time, others telling me to wait until they can be here to see me open it, I quickly divide the unopened presents according to their requests, and apologize again for marie ruining the celebration, and my best friend, Carl, asks if I want help with getting all the bitty stuff I'll need. I politely decline, and keep declining when he insists that it act as a second birthday present from him.
After a while of back and forth, I send him on his way, and take the bitty into my room and start researching King bitties.
