Entering the circus
“Welcome to The Amazing Digital Circus! My name is Caine. I'm your ringmaster and I'm here to show you the most jaw-dropping, heart stopping, mind-bending paraphernalia you've ever laid your eyes upon! Isn't that right, Bubble?”
“That's right, Caine! I can't wait to see what you've got cooking up for today.”
“Well, let's not waste any time! Let's get right into the show!”
Gangle, and Zooble, and Kinger too!
Ragatha, Jax, and there's Pomni, woo-hoo!
Day after day after- Day after- Day after day we fly
Past the moon and the sun and we don't know whyyyy!
Suddenly, an orange cat appears. She is wearing a flower costume with a string-like tail with a red balloon like thing at the end. She backs away slowly as the theme continues. When it ends, Ragatha notices the new appearance
“Do we have a new one, Caine?” She asked. “Or an NPC?”
“Please don’t let us to the whole theme again…” Zooble mumbled.
“Looks like a new character has entered the circus!” Caine said. “And don’t worry. We already finished the theme, we won’t have it repeat!”
“How do I get this-” the cat tried to pull at her face but ended up falling flat on her face, clearly not used to being on all fours. She looked up embarrased. “Uhhh. Hello. Where am I… Who are you?”
“You’re part of The Amazing Digitial Circus! Welcome aboard! What’s your name?”
“I’m… Wait… Why can’t I remember my name?”
“I have control over everything but the one thing I don’t have control over is your memories. But don’t you worry, little kitten! Your name can be anything!”
The cat was trying to remeber her name. “I don’t really know.”
Suddenly a giant slot machine popped up. “Lets see!” The generator spun until it came across a string of words. “What do you think of Ajeyax?”
“That-”
“You’re right it’s terrible let’s try again!” The name sunny came across the generator “What about Sunny?”
“Sure… I guess that works.”
“I’m gonna give our new member Sunny a tour!”
~~~
What does that bulb do?
Sunny was still getting used to Essentially being trapped here when Pomni and Ragatha came up to her.
“What’s this thing on your tail?” Pomni wondered
Sunny looked at her tail, where a little red bulb was sitting at the end “I dunno actually.” She turned back to Pomni and Ragatha. “I think-”
Just as she was about to say something, Jax walked past and accidentally Stepped on her tail. Sunny yelped and a stream of water hit Ragatha in the face.
“Whoops!” Jax said sarcastically with his mischievous smile.
“JAX!” Ragatha yelled.
“I didn’t realize-” Sunny said through a bit of laughter.
“It’s alright.” Ragatha said. “I don’t think any of us knew.”
“Oh man, you are literally a walking squirting flower! That is hilarious!” Jax said walking away as he laughed
“It’s pretty funny, but I bet it’ll be annoying after a while.” Pomni said. “I think you should stay clear of Jax. He finds ways to bully everyone and would use this to his advantage.”
Sunny nodded.

Holding breath
The circus characters were surrounding Sunny.
“Hey Sunny, Have you tried holding your breath?” Zooble asked.
“No… Why?”
“Because something different happens with each person. Gangle’s mask starts spinning, Kinger Glows, Ragatha’s hair noodles stick up, Pomni face changes color and my limbs straighten.”
“What about Jax?”
“He refuses to show us,”
“I guess I can try.” Sunny held her breath and soon she realized the her tail bulb was getting bigger and starting to float. Soon enough she started floating. Eventually she stread breathing again and started flying all over the place as the balloon deflated, making a cartoony PFFFFFT sound and landed right where she started.
“I guess the squeeze bulb just inflates like a helium balloon.” Ragatha said “And when you let go it just deglates back to normal.”
“Would be useful to reach high places.” Gangle said
“Maybe.” Sunny said.
