With a soft sigh, she turned around and opened the door to the classroom--only to find Destiny Shepard crowded around the front door like one of those door greeters in big shops during the holidays. She'd nearly run right into the girl, too. Giving her a little look, Lexi said, "Oh, hello, Miss Shepard! Find a seat, and we'll begin shortly."

Lexi edged past Destiny then turned to watch as both her ferret (who was still unnamed) and Prince Charming (her little Chihuahua) followed their mum into the classroom. She shooed them toward the front of the room, where both curled into a little pet bed near her desk. "Please forgive me, class. Prince Charming, the ferret, and I were talking a walk through the gardens, and the ferret decided to play a game of hide-and-seek right as it was time to leave...," she said, making her way to the front of the room.

"Quieten down, and if you haven't already, take a seat so we can get started," she said to the class.
