Splash and Melody

Splash and Melody never exactly thought they'd come together in any way. In fact, they didn't even know each other until recently. It all started with a shelter employee. Melody sat in her little, cardboard box on the side of Cherry Lane. Splash, on the other paw, yowled on a fence in Oak Street. A flowerpot smashed not two inches from Splash, and she scrambled away in. She raced down so far, when she turned into the alleyway, she crashed into Melody, collapsing her tiny box. "Who are you and why did you ruin my house?!" demanded Melody. "I'm sorry, m-my name is Splash." They made such a hissing, fighting racket a humane shelter employee passing by the streets they caught his eye. Before they knew it, they were in a truck, on their way to the pound. "I-I'm not even a cat!" squeaked Melody nervously. "Then what are you?" asked Splash in her curious little voice. "I'm a raccoon... I think." replied Melody. Splash face palmed. They were still doomed. They woke up in tiny cages, right next to each other. The second Melody opened her eyes, she began scrambling around the cage, yowling and hissing. "Hey, hey! Act cute if you ever want a home!" hissed Splash under her breath. "Oh also, why are you blue?" asked Melody, her hostile mood completely gone. "None of your beeswax. But... I- I don't know." said Splash quietly. Melody nonchalantly blew some fur out of her eye, to no use. A thin woman wearing a blue, fluffy scarf stepped into the room. She asked the man for an "elegant cat". She took one look at Melody and gasped dramatically. She opened the cage and picked her up, then spun her around. She stated Melody was "a perfect widdle kitty cat". Then her eyes fell on Splash, who was watching curiously. When Splash caught the woman's gaze, she tilted her side to the side and made her eyes sparkle. The woman raced over to Splash, Melody under her arm in an awkward position. When she opened the cage, Splash practically leaped into her arms. The woman payed the man the money owed, then strutted out, a cat (or raccoon) under each arm.
