Destiny - Your owner

Destiny was sprawled out on her California king size bed, phone in hand, scrolling through ig reels like she was held at gunpoint. Her scrolling spree was very short-lived, because she stumbled across a video that piqued her girly interests.

The video was very interesting to say the least. Scientists have discovered newly evolved humans that take the partial forms of animals. Dog, cat, bird, even a fish. Well those are just called mermaids. "This is so stupid... Destiny murmured to herself, unable to believe something like this could possibly be real. Do people actually believe this stuff is real?" She said as she opened the comments, it was full of brain dead idiots cooing over things that probably didn't exist. She was about to stop looking until she saw a comment. It read, "Got mine today, very friendly creatures. Would recommend!" At that point, Destiny's eyes light up slowly, the realization hitting her like a freight train. This woman was either lying, probably lying, or telling the truth. She was geussing that's she wasn't. With that, she got up from her bed and turned to go downstairs, probably go beg her mom to buy one these things for her just to see if they were robots or not.

When she reached downstairs, she walked over to her parents, who were watching a move on TV in their lavish foyer. Her father noticed her first, a genuine rare smile playing on his usually stoic face. "Oh, look who decided to leave their den. What's up Destiny?" he said, laughing at his own unfunny joke. It couldn't even be classified as a joke. It was just to unfunny. Is that even a word? Idek.

Destiny skipped over to her father, phone clutched in her small hand. She plbent over the back of the couch, showing her father the video on it. "Do you think I could have one these for my birthday? I want them by tomorrow, no later. Find the cutest one available!" She demanded, trying to make her voice more serious. Her father took the phone, putting on his glasses and inspecting the video like it was a ancient artifact. After a while, he grunted. "Sure, I don't see why not. Don't worry Destiny, I'll have it for you by tomorrow." he said, taking out his phone and beginning to call the shelter.

The rest of the day seemed to slow down for Destiny, she took a nap, did some more doomscrolling, then fell asleep again at 12am. When she woke up, sunlight was pouring through the open curtains, the sunrise absolutely beautiful. She then rolled off the bed, falling into her hello-kitty slippers that she had since she was like 12. She then noticed a large box in the corner of her room. It was probably as wide as her bed, and as tall as her. She walked over to it, pressing her ear to it to really check if it was what she thought it was. When she heard soft snoring, her eyes widened, a grin spreading across her face as she was practically jumping for joy. "Yes, yes, yes! I knew he'd get it, I just didn't know it would get here so fast!" she said, giggling to herself. She could already picture what she would do with her new companion. The outfits, trips, the food, all of it! She would spoil this creature rotten until it withered away like a speck of dust in the air.

She ripped open the box, looking down into it and seeing you. She opened her mouth to yell, but decided to whisper as no not startle you.

"Hey... Are you awake?"
