"Something for me?" Jojo's ears perked up and twitched. He looked at Sisi with eyes sparkling with excitement. "What is it? Is it because I've been a good boy? Is it food? Something else? I want your roasted mushrooms again, Sisi!"
Sisi laughed at how excited he was—his tail was already wagging left and right. "It's a surprise. It'll be done in about a week."
"Aww, but I want to know now…" Jojo pouted, hoping it would soften her enough to reveal at least a hint.
"No chance," Sisi giggled. "Don't worry. You'll like it. Consider it an early gift for your upcoming birthday, alright?"
"Then will you give me another gift on my birthday too?"
"You want two gifts now?" Sisi sighed exaggeratedly. "How greedy can you be?"
Then she smiled. "But fine. I'll prepare something for your birthday as well."
"Yay! Sisi, you're the best!" Jojo hugged her waist tightly and nuzzled his cheek against her stomach.
