“Forget it.”

“Okay,” said Junior.

For a moment neither spoke.

“Just make sure,” said Junior, “you wait here.”

“Right.”

Embarrassed to think that he had made a fool of himself, and perhaps a little angry that Mephitis had allowed him to do so, Junior wanted to get away. He started for Gray House. “Smell you later,” he said.

“Yeah,” said Mephitis, and watched his friend go, the bright red fur easy to follow in the green grass. Once, twice, Junior turned and looked back. The last time he waved.

As soon as Mephitis was sure Junior was not going to look back any more, he turned in the opposite direction. “No point hanging around,” said the skunk. “Hey, except for maybe Junior, nobody likes me. Not really.” Tears stung his eyes. “Mephitis,” he told himself. “Face it. Why would anybody like a skunk? Why don’t you do the world a favor and go jump in the river?” With that he put his pointy black nose to the ground and waddled off in the direction of Glitter Creek.
