KAJI (V.O.): I've never been here before.
Arriving at the coach door, Peter steps inside first.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The steps are huge. If Peter can do it, so can I.
Having climbed up carefully, Kaji looks astonished.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Well, this car is huge, It has dozens of seats. Dog passengers too!
As they say hello to her, Kaji checks other dogs and their masters coming up.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Wow, what a procession! This is a pet coach! I love it!
INT. ASIA-WORLD ARENA - AFTERNOON
Puppy Summer Fun Expo. Tropical atmosphere. Maze for dogs and people. Sand land, booths for shopping, amusements and photo-taking.

Upper Station Street under the rain. Kaji, the Pack Leader and Peter climb the steps up and down.
KAJI (V.O.): These are small steps but they're slippery. I believe we're lost.
Then, the Pack Leader spots Elephant Grounds Roastery in a distance.
Pack Leader: I can see dog customers there.
Arriving, they sit with other customers by the roadside.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): To have a roof over my head is good.
The Pack Leader passes Kaji a treat, and Kaji takes it.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't usually do that, but I'm hungry and tired.
As a white poodle nearby strives to join them, the Pack Leader lets the poodle have the last treat, as Kaji looks on.

Reflecting.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's a great trip.
FADE OUT.
