When I was in second/third grade, I had a pet panther named Zia. Zia was blue with purple spots and told me stories, and we used to go on crazy adventures that tended to involve chocolate.
Anyway, she was my pet panther until High School. Yes, freshman year. Anyway, I walked home from school- meaning that everyone knew the best time to get me. Well, I pissed off a couple of boys, and I was walking home when they jumped me. I swear to god that someone saved my butt, and it was Zia. She vanished after that, though, and I haven't seen her since.
Just a note, most of our adventures occured while I was walking home. In those days I was a walking disaster, so...
