BGM:
Another Day

Spoiler:

Another day as a member of the Blue Pegasus.  Well, one of these days she'll pull up the guts to finally leave the guild and venture out on her own.  She liked Shuhei, but that's really about it.  Maybe once she gets a hold of her passport and travels the world a bit, she'll understand how good it is to be out on her own.  Maybe even create a party with Almyra and Ashelia.  They did create quite the team with that dumpster debacle.  

Those were some of the thoughts that ran through Anastasia's head as she rode in on Sasha in her usual princess style.  The guitar case resting on the opposite side of the lion-dog.  As the two of them approached the immense line, she groaned slightly as the line seemed endless.  It was only 8 in the morning and already, it felt like an eternity's wait.  She let out an audible groan which grabbed the attention of the people in front of her.  

Shouts in unison rang through the line as the people in front of her turned to notice Sasha.  Upon noticing Sasha, people started to clear out.  Using this as an opportunity to move forward, Sasha took steps forward as people parted, leaving the creature a wide berth.  Anastasia reached out to the people while still upon the creature and began to please.

"Oh no!  Please!  Stay in line.  Sasha isn't going to hurt you!  Please, no!" she said repeatedly as she began to flail her arms in a comedic manner.  No matter how much she plead to the people, it was to no avail.  She took a sigh outward and curled her lip upwards in annoyance.  She got as far up the line as possible with people parting at the mere sight of the creature before being stopped as a small girl noticed Sasha and her eyes lighting up.  

"Oh my gaw!!" she shouted out with a squeel before wrapping her tiny arms around the creature.  "It's hair is nice and fluffy," she stated rubbing her face into Sasha's mane.  The little girl's mother looked in dread as it hugged the creature, only for the creature to stand there and let it happen.  This caused everyone's perception of the creature to change a bit, finding the creature friendly and not as terrifying as they thought it was.  

Anastasia scratched the back of her head with a little laugh.  "I told you that Sasha wasn't bad," she said before line continued to move.  After about 4 hours of waiting in line, Anastasia managed to get up to the front of the line.  Unfortunately, there were people in the front office that were absolutely mortified of the creature, so Sasha had to stay outside.  While this happened Anastasia answered a few of their questions, stating that she was part of the Blue Pegasus and the rest of the questions were relatively easy.

She came out, afterward, noticing Sasha was being used as playground equipment.  Turning it's head to look towards Anastasia, the creature shouted at her telepathically.  ~ Get these naked apes off of me ~
~ Just roar then.  Kids won't listen to me. ~

With that suggestion, the creature roared and everything decided to get as far as it could from the creature.  With a big smile, she nodded to everyone before jumping up upon Sasha and riding off.

~ If you EVER get stuck in a line again.  You're on your own. ~
~ Fine fine.  I gotcha. ~

With that exchange, the duo rode off, with papers in hand.  Anastasia gets her her passport!
