"Treno, city of many rich pockets and far too many guards..." Dagger said as they neared said city.

"Wark," Zidane replied unhappily.

"Okay, fine, let's turn you back," She said, dismounting and casting a new spell.

"...Can you turn me male again please?!" Zidane growled, tugging the pink ribbons now in her hair and tail.

"Yes, but in a minute. I have a plan for getting some money in Treno."

"...Does it involve me being a girl?"

"No, being male is probably a better idea, we don't need puppies," Dagger said.

"Good... Wait, wha-"

She then cast another spell, turning him back into a male, but unfortunately, a four-legged one, namely a labrador

"Now, we'll go into the city, and you can snatch purses. No one ever really looks at strays!"

"Grrr..." Zidane voiced his displeasure at this plan.

"Though come to think of it I made you look like you have a pedigree. Aha!"

Zidane yelped as she pointed at a muddy puddle.

"Roll around in that, you'll look like a street dog in no time!"

Zidane barked, meaning "Why can't you turn into a dog?!"

"Oh, and don't bother trying to bite me, or I'll turn you into a smaller dog."

"I didn't say anything about biting you!" Zidane whined as he complied.

"Good boy."

"Hey, you're getting too used to this!"

In the city, still displeased, Zidane got to work. Dagger had been right, even a dog rushing past with a purse in his mouth attracted little attention... and despite being a little muddy, he had the bonus of getting some bacon tossed to him by a street vendor between runs.

"Okay, we've got a decent haul so far, let's see what we can buy... How about a nice new collar?"

Zidane growled again.

"No!"

"I'm kidding... though having you on a leash sounds good."

"Just turn me back already..."

She did so.

"Turn me back male!"

"Ah! Good boys beg..." Dagger smirked.
