The next morning Heatherperk and Radababa met up outside the Creativepeople Cafe. "My husband AMPerkins is spending the day with Hannah so it will just be us today." She explained as she noticed Rabadaba looking around for Hannah. "I thought we could go for a walk today and I could show you around some more." The two started down the path again and suddenly a road runner went zipping past them.
"That's trackgirl," Heatherperk explained as the roadrunner travelled out of their range of vision. "She holds the planet record for running all the way around the planet in a single day without ever stopping to rest. She's highly motivated. When she finishes this lap around the planet, maybe we can meet up with her and you can meet her. I think you would really enjoy getting to know her, I know I have. She also holds a lot of contests. I noticed you seemed interested in entering contests when you arrived."
"She sounds great," Rabadaba replied. "Yeah I'm excited for the contests. They sound so fun. I'm more excited to make some great new friends though. Everyone here seems so interesting. I'm not sure if I will fit in." "Don't be silly!" Heatherperk exclaimed. "Everyone here is going to love you! We all value the uniqueness that everyone brings to our world. Everyone is important here!"
While they meandered down the path, they came up alongside what appeared to be a blue police box straight out of London back on earth. Curious Rabadaba asked, "how did that get here?" "Oh that," Heatherperk replied. "Tayloramzng lives there. I wonder if she's home. You'll love her! She's been here longer than most of us. She runs a daily poll section in the local newspaper known as the QOTD. Everyone loves it!"
As Heatherperk finished her sentence, a raccoon in an unusually long striped scarf popped out through the blue door. "Rabadaba!" She exclaimed. I just got back from the future and I knew you were coming to visit me. I hope you know that you're going to become quite famous around here. I know, I just saw it!" Rabadaba blushed in embarrassment as he shook the racoon's paw. He wondered if she was teasing him. How could such a simple little rabbit ever become as famous as she was telling him he would be?
"I'm afraid I can't stay long," Tayloramzng explained. "I'm running late to publish today's QOTD poll but I would love to get to know you better later." Rabadaba nodded in agreement as they parted ways. He had a feeling he was really going to like Tayloramzng. She just seemed so genuine and kind.
Heatherperk and Rabadaba continued down the path in silence for a little while before she continued "I'm afraid I won't be able to spend all day with you as I had planned because I had some errands come up that I have to do, but I thought I would introduce you to someone else that could help show you around. He's always so helpful and tells everyone new to come to him if they have any questions." As she talked, they came up to a tiger waiting for them beside the path. "This is Millerkirk1984." She explained. "He helped me out so much when I was new here so I thought maybe he could help show you around as well."
Rabadaba was a bit nervous about being alone with such a fierce looking tiger but the minute the tiger spoke, Rabadaba instantly felt at ease. Millerkirk1984 said "hello Rabadaba! I'm so happy to meet you. Heatherperk told me she wasn't going to be able to finish the tour so I'm happy to help. Please let me know if you have any questions along the way. I will help you out in any way I can."
Heatherperk said her goodbyes and promised to see them again soon. Then she headed back up the path towards her home and left Rabadaba in the capable paws of Millerkirk1984.
"Everyone is so helpful around here!" Rabadaba gushed. " thank you so much for continuing the tour for me, Millerkirk1984." As the sun rose higher in the sky, the pair set off down the path in search of new animals for Rabadaba to meet and new places for him to explore. It was still early in the day but Rabadaba had a feeling that it would be one of the best days of his life.
