"Dream, please stop!" Zara came bursting out from the dark. She quickly rushed toward the pastel equine and picked him up.
The zebra thrashed in her embrace while barking at her.
"Dream, stop! He's not one of the police!"
They wrestled for a while, but after a moment, she managed to calm her zebra and set him down.
The zebra glared at Jaster and Purple, then proceeded to stand straight beside Zara.
Jaster was still on the ground until he realized that Purple was lying on the floor.
"PURPLEBERRY!" Zara's eyes widened hearing him say that name. She covered her mouth, trying to contain her laugh.
"Oh gosh. I told you not to initiate anything!" He carefully scooped up Purple and put the poor gecko in his pocket where it was safe.
Realizing what she'd done, Zara snapped out of her laughing fit and repeatedly bowed her head to Jaster.
"I'm so sorry! I'm very sorry! My spirit animal can be a little overprotective from time to time!"
Jaster waved his hand.
