"I want a dog," Ronny pouted as they looked around the shelter, trying to find a pet that would suit them. Rose folded her arms and shook her head.
"No dogs," she disagreed. "With how often you're gone, we don't need a pet that I would have to walk several hours each day. Nor do we need a pet that would be demanding my attention at all hours while I'm trying to work or teach. I'm thinking a cat would be a better pet."
"A cat!" Ronny exclaimed. "Come on, Rose. Not a cat."
"What are wrong with cats?" Rose demanded.
"If you want Will in a furry little suit, I'm sure we can ask him," Ronny answered. "They're cocky, self-centered..."
"Remind me to give that opinion to Will," Rose said and Ronny shrugged.
"I've told him myself," she answered. "What about a bird?"
Rose shook her head. "No," she answered. "Birds require more care, not to mention if it's smaller we'd need more than one."
"Same for mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and gerbils!" Ronny complained. When Rose folded her arms, Ronny pointed over to their companion. "I don't think Mack minds!"
"It was nice enough for Mack to offer to pay for the pet and the expenses as an anniversary gift for us," Rose answered. "We're not asking for more than one animal!"
Mack looked between them, noting the agitation, and glanced around. "What about a reptile?" He suggested quickly.
"Maybe a turtle," Rose answered thoughtfully.
"A turtle! Why don't we just get a rock!" Ronny complained. "Now a snake..."
"I don't like pets that can potentially strangle me," Rose answered dryly. "Maybe something small, like a gecko?"
"Or big, like an iguana!" Ronny disagreed. Seeing that it was about to turn into another fight, Mack quickly searched around, looking at the various animals. A horse would never work, that pig would drive Rose up the wall... His eyes flickered over to a different cage where a small creature was rearing its head, watching the debate with interest. It jumped from one side of the cage to the other as if to side with whichever girl was talking at that time. Mack grinned and casually turned to his friends.
"What about a ferret?" He asked.
They both turned to look at him as he motioned to the critter, now in the middle behind him. Ronny smiled at it. "It might just be able to keep up with me. Hey, little guy."
Rose looked at Ronny sternly. "We're going to have to do research on it," she answered and both her companions gave her a look, causing Rose to back down. "Alright, fine. I've already done the research on every possible pet."
"So?" Ronny asked, looking hopeful. Rose folded her arms.
"You're going to have to learn all about them too. I'm not going to do all the work," she warned.
"I will, Rose," Ronny promised, giving her girlfriend a slight kiss. "And we'll get everything we need before we bring it home. Plus, we'll find a good vet."
Rose looked at the ferret, the ferret looked back at Rose. She gave a small smile. "Well, they are intelligent. I guess I can't ask for anything better."
Ronny squealed and kissed Rose full on the lips. Rose kissed back before pulling off and turning to Mack. "I think we found our pet."

Ronny gently put the ferret back into her cage, turning the light off behind her as their new addition crawled up into her hammock quietly. "Good night, Auri," she whispered, heading out of the room. She headed into her own bedroom where Rose was reading yet another book on ferret care. Ronny was pretty sure this was the sixth she'd seen Rose with today and the third time she'd read that certain book within the last three days. "She's okay."
"I just want to make sure nothing happens to Aurora," Rose answered. "The last think we want to happen is for something bad to happen to her. I asked the shelter about her. Her former owners..."
"Are gone now. We'll take care of her, Rose," Ronny assured her and gave her a teasing look as she gently pulled the book away and turned off the lights. "If you're this bad with the ferret, I'm really glad we didn't get that dog. I thought you meant that you wouldn't want to spend the time with it, not that you'd cater to its every whim."
"I don't cater..." she started, but Ronny cut her off as she began their foreplay. Arguments could be finished later.
